And finally… Three men died on Christmas Eve, and were met by St Peter at the pearly gates. “In honour of this holy season, you must each possess something that symbolises Christmas to get into heaven,” St Peter explained. The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on, and said: “It represents a candle.” “You may pass through the pearly gates,” said St Peter. The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them, and said: “They’re bells!” “You may pass through the pearly gates,” said St Peter, moving aside. The third man started desperately searching through his pockets, and finally pulled out a pair of womens’ glasses. Peter raised his eyebrow, and asked: “So exactly what element of Christmas do those symbolise?” The man replied: “They’re Carol’s.”

rates, many farmers are scrutinising their rotation to find ways of taking advantage of the scheme simply by selecting ‘actions’ that can be incorporated with relative ease into their farming system. One such action is the multi-species winter cover crop SAM2, which can benefit the soil, future crops, and farmland wildlife. While the minimum requirement for this action is for two or more species to be sown, the more varied a mix, the greater the benefits it will bring. The legume fallow NUM3 is another option which brings many regenerative farming benefits. Sowing a mix containing at least six flowering species will improve soil health, provide food for pollinators and farmland birds as well as supporting an integrated pest management approach. The mixtures available to satisfy the requirements of these actions are broad, and selecting a mix based on the quantifiable benefits they may bring is very difficult. If careful thought is applied to selecting the right seed mixture, aside from the environmental benefits they aim to achieve, over time they can also benefit the economic and physical performance of the business. Selecting the right mix for your individual requirements is an all-important decision and obtaining specialist advice is key. FG

Health & Safety Advice unpredictable, and is destructive to crops and livestock. Many farms have been passed down through families over many generations, so the prospect of failing can weigh heavy on farmers’ shoulders. When all these blockers combine, it’s no wonder that the industry has seen such a deterioration in mental health and worrying increase in the number of suicides.

Sponsored by Peninsula

Barriers to support

Why talking about suicide can prevent it The farming industry carries a lot of physical risk, so it’s easy to spot the visible dangers to life and limb. But how do we address the mental health risks faced by isolated workers working long, punishing hours? Gavin Scarr-Hall, health and safety director at Peninsula, offers advice. Recent studies have shown that 92% of UK farmers under 40 say mental ill-health is the biggest hidden problem in the industry. Between 2021 and 2022, there were 22 workplace fatalities and 34 suicides amongst farm workers. So, why are farmers at higher risk from mental ill-health than other professions?

Farm stressors There is no 9–5 in farming. For many farmers, their place of work is also their home, making it difficult to maintain a work/life balance. Throw in the long hours – with most working closer to 65 hours per week than the traditional 37 hours of other industries – and it’s easy to see how problems arise. When your work is also your home, it can be difficult to switch off. This affects sleep and means family life can suffer. The demands of the job mean

many farmers suffer from ongoing injury or poor physical health. Income can vary significantly from year to year, based on factors out of anyone’s control, adding additional layers of financial anxiety. The pressure to support families is immense, and while mental health affects both men and women alike, the rate of suicide is significantly higher amongst men. What some call the ‘stiff upper lip’ has a lot to answer for when it comes to the reluctance many men feel opening up about their feelings.

Contextual stressors Fluctuations in political policy and societal pressures also bring additional, unique challenges for farmers. Brexit has not made things easy for an industry already dominated by paperwork and bureaucracy. And the changing climate makes rural life

Farming is a unique industry. While other occupations may have a support network to rely on or offer training to raise awareness and help spot early signs that someone may be struggling mentally, the rural and isolated nature of farming makes this harder. A rigid patriarchal ‘self-reliance’ culture can cast a stigma or make it harder for someone to express a need for help. Many farmers don’t feel they can trust the government, or feel they have the luxury of anonymity when speaking to a doctor about their mental health. Farmers work in closeknit communities where people know each other’s business. So it can be harder to admit you have a problem or are struggling if you worry about facing shame or becoming the subject of village gossip. Our sister company Health Assured, the UK and Ireland’s leading EAP provider, has put together some tips for proactive steps people can take to look after their mental wellbeing. • Make time to take breaks – having a break gives your mind and body space to rest, which in turn increases productivity. Even if you can’t take full days off, then make sure to actively build break times into your day to switch off, even if just to enjoy your lunch • Be kind to yourself – we can be our own worst enemies.

‘Be kind’ has become something of a buzz word recently, with a focus on thinking about the ways in which your words impact others. But thinking and speaking kindly to yourself as well can make a significant difference, bringing huge benefits mentally • Plan hobbies away from the farm – getting away from the farm and doing something you enjoy is crucial to maintaining good mental health and a positive work/life balance. Make friendship groups and establish hobbies outside of your work and home environment to give you something to look forward to • Prioritise sleep – not getting enough sleep negatively affects the way we regulate our emotions, so it’s extremely important to prioritise sleep schedules. Set yourself a bedtime routine, allowing yourself to comfortably wind down, ready for some much-needed rest • Talk to someone – talking things through is the best way to alleviate stress and anxiety. Counsellors offer different perspectives, provide comfort and security and ways of managing your specific mental health triggers. There are various specialist farming organisations that are happy to talk things through – not every call will be from someone in crisis, sometimes it may just be someone having a bad day and wanting a chat. But it’s important to get in touch before things reach a ‘crisis’ point. Below is a list of some of the options: • Farming Community Network helpline: 0300 011 1999/ help@fcn.org.uk • Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution helpline: 0800 188 4444 • The DPJ Foundation: Call: 0800 587 4262 Text: 07984 169652 • Forage Aid helpline: 01926 620135 • Addington Fund: 01926 620135 FG

News in brief High horsepower tractor receives its second international award

An international jury of experts has awarded the new Xerion 12 Series from Claas with a Farm Machine 2024 Award at Agritechnica. Just a few days earlier, the Xerion 12.650 Terra Trac was named Tractor of the Year 2024. “We are overwhelmed that after 25 years of Xerion

on the market, Helmut Claas’ vision has also received this prestigious award,” explains Claas Group’s chief technology officer responsible for the tractors and implements division, Dr Martin von HoyningenHuene. “This award and the Tractor of the Year 2024 belong to the entire product team around development, marketing and sales. [...] Both awards impressively confirm the innovative approach of the tractor [...].” Dr Johannes Weisbrodt,

Claas Group senior vice president product unit system tractors responsible for the Xerion adds: “Traction efficiency has always been firmly anchored in the DNA of our tractors. With the Xerion 12 Series, we have taken the well-known strengths valued by Xerion customers all over the world, developed them further and combined them with more than 25 years of Terra Trac development and production experience into a strong, convincing overall concept.”

Company pledges support for farming community with charity tie up Outdoor accommodation provider Pitchup.com has pledged its support to UK farmers by appointing a new charity partner. The business has joined forces with The Farming Community Network (FCN) – a charity that aims to improve the health and wellbeing of people in farming, and provide support at times of difficulty and change. Pitchup.com chose the charity in recognition of the struggles many farmers are facing as the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) is phased out, causing farm incomes to

fall and an increase in stress, worry, and anxiety. The company works closely with farmers across the UK wanting to diversify into the agritourism sector to make up the shortfall, often helping them to preserve the family farm for generations to come. Dan Yates, founder of Pitchup.com, said: “Many farmers are having a tough time as the government transitions away from basic payments to public money for public goods, which is causing real concerns over the future viability of their businesses. “This isn’t just impacting

on their bottom line, it is having a significant impact on the mental health of many farmers and their families. FCN does an amazing job in supporting farmers who are struggling with this change, as well as those who need help in any area of their business or life, and we want to support them in providing these vital services. “Farmers are the backbone of Britain. They provide the majority of the food we eat and look after the British countryside which is the envy of the world, and they deserve recognition for that.”

Outstanding crop production industry service awards presented The 2023 British Crop Production Council Award, which celebrates outstanding service to the crop production industry, has been presented to Sarah Cowlrick of the Association of Independent Crop Consultants and to Hazel Doonan of the Agricultural Industries Confederation. In presenting the awards at this year’s BCPC Congress event in Harrogate, BCPC advisory board member Jim Orson said: “Both recipients, in different organisations, are at the very centre of training and support for integrated pest management within the sector, carefully and brilliantly ensuring that farmers receive informed advice on managing their crops. Not only do they do that, but they also give of their time to support other industry initiatives.” The BCPC Award is presented to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to one or more of the areas of scientific advance, technology innovation, advisory and extension, education and training and regulatory affairs.

Pulses project first to benefit from platform Farmers who are part of an ambitious project to grow more pulses and cut carbon emissions from UK agriculture will be the first to benefit from a new knowledge exchange platform launched by ADAS at the end of November. The independent agricultural consultancy has created the PulsePEP (Performance Enhancement Platform) where trial results, data and supporting information from experts involved in the Nitrogen Climate Smart (NCS) project will be hosted. “The PulsePEP has been designed with farmers in mind – by sharing knowledge the PulsePEP will ensure we can produce pulse crops that are profitable and resilient, so that farmers will want to grow them,” said Dr Thomas Wilkinson, senior research consultant in crop physiology at ADAS. The PulsePEP is part of the wider FarmPEP digital platform and is specifically designed to focus on pulse topics and provide a specific home for material relating to pulse production. “The PulsePEP is free to use and anyone can log on to view the content,” Tom continued. “Those hoping to engage more can set up an account and then post content themselves or follow specific topics.” To get involved in the project go to www.ncsproject.co.uk, and to visit the PulsePEP platform go to https://farmpep.net/ 98530

News in brief Full marks for flagship high hp tractor A year on from its launch, and the flagship Fendt 728 Vario (Gen7) has come out top in an independent DLG PowerMix test which measured the performance, efficiency and fuel consumption of the 303hp tractor. When results were compared with previously tested tractors in the 240–305hp sector, the Fendt 728 Vario proved to be the most economical. With a consumption of 242g/kWh (+ 24.2g/kWh AdBlue) in the field, it consumed 15g/kWh

less than the comparable competitor machine at 257g/ kWh (+16 g/kWh). During transport work at a speed of 40kph, the 728 achieved a peak value of 332 g/kWh (+ 33 g/kWh AdBlue), a significant saving of 16g/ kWh when compared to other brands in the segment. Moving at 50kph, it only consumed 336g/kWh (+ 33g/kWh AdBlue), just 4g more than at 40kph. And at a maximum road speed of 60 km/h, this only increased by 2g to 338g/kWh (+ 33g/kWh AdBlue).

“For operators covering high road miles the fuel efficiency of the 728 Vario will mount up and, with fuel prices rising, this will provide significant savings. For contractors harvesting and transporting crop long distances it represents a sound investment,” say’s Fendt’s Richard Miller.

Home of potato research centre donates over 7.5t of potatoes to Scottish charity The James Hutton Institute, home to the UK’s leading potato research centre, has donated 932 bags of locally grown potatoes to Scotland’s food redistribution organisation, FareShare. The 7,835kg donation was collected by FareShare at the Institute’s campus at Invergowrie and taken to the charity’s five Regional Centres in Aberdeen, Alness, Dundee, Edinburgh and

Glasgow to be shared with communities in need ahead of the festive season. The donated potatoes were grown as part of a large-scale field trial, successfully undertaken in 2023 at the Hutton’s Balruddery Farm. The field trial included a range of well-known varieties which when harvested were bagged separately and donated to FareShare.

These varieties are among 100 varieties of potatoes the James Hutton Institute has developed over the last century with legacy research and industry partners. Continued research projects aim to produce potatoes which can handle global threats posed by climate and nature crises including pests and disease, in order to contribute to better food security in the future.

Welsh Game Fair moves south to the Black Mountains The Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust and Glanusk Estate has announced that the next Welsh Game Fair will take place over the weekend of 8–9th June 2024. The event is moving from the Vaynol Estate in Bangor, Gwynedd, to Glanusk Park near Crickhowell in the Usk Valley and will be known as

‘The GWCT Welsh Game Fair at Glanusk’. Championing rural life and people, businesses, skills, traditions and country activities seen and practised throughout the whole of Wales – the event will showcase the enormous variety Wales has to offer. “The Glanusk Estate has a long tradition of hosting

great events in the heart of the Black Mountains, as far back as 1976 with the original ‘Game Fair’,” Harry Legge-Bourke, owner of Glanusk Estate explained. Tickets for the GCWT Welsh Game Fair at Glanusk 2024 will be available to purchase online soon. For more information, visit www.welshgamefair.org

Celebrating young engineers at the Midlands Machinery Show Eleven young agricultural engineers were recognised at the annual Apprenticeship Awards at the Midlands Machinery Show in November. Each received £500 over two years to help in their future careers, with most choosing to invest in their own specialist toolkit. Claiming their first-year awards were: Joshua Whotton and Nathan Walls, who are working at Chandlers; Max Lumsden at Russells; Joe Slater and Joe Sweetmore from B&B Tractors; and Lewis Collins from Sharman’s Agricultural. Stepping up to receive the second stage awards were: Aaron Barlow and Arun Slanley at B&B Tractors; Ryan Lomas at Chandlers; Robert Ward at Farol and Craig Redfern from Sharman’s Agricultural. Winners also received a Hydrokit Multimeter, and Pat White, president of the NNAS, commended the apprentices for their role in the farming sector. “You are the doctors of the agricultural industry; without you a lot of our equipment would fail,” he said. “Agricultural mechanics and technicians have been an integral part of our farm, and I hope you are incentivised and want to remain part of the agricultural family. What you do for farmers is very much appreciated and I wish you all the best for the future.”

SY Cheer wheat.

Much-needed diversity key to latest, leaner,

Recommended List

With fewer new varieties added compared to recent years, the latest edition has shorter lists for most major crops and features several eye-catching new additions, including the first BYDV-tolerant six-row hybrid winter barley, the first new UKFM Group 1 winter wheat since 2017, and a 'barn-filling' Group 3 winter wheat. Rachel Hicks reports. According to Paul Gosling, who manages the RL at AHDB, the trials established well in 2022 – although heavy rainfall this July led to some lodging in wheat and barley trials, and the oilseed rape plots struggled due to drought and pest pressures leading to poor performance. Quite a few varieties have been removed from the list this year – either due to the breeder withdrawing them for commercial reasons, or because the total grower area for the variety has fallen significantly. The Recommended List 2024/25 also features many improvements to the tables, following feedback from the RL review, as well as information on verticillium stem stripe resistance in oilseed rape for the first time. In winter OSR, AHDB has been looking at varietal resistance as there are no effective fungicides for verticillium stripe. The system is a little different for the new verticillium stem stripe ratings compared with the other diseases. Varieties are rated S – Susceptible, I – Intermediate, or MR – moderately resistant. This is because, statistically, a 1–9 scale isn’t appropriate for this disease.

Winter and spring barley The winter barley list has two new varieties. SY Buzzard is the first six-row hybrid with tolerance to BYDV, which will be of particular interest to growers who want to avoid insecticide use. It also has relatively good resistance to lodging, although it is lower yielding than other six-row hybrids. “Left uncontrolled, BYDV can reduce winter barley yield by as much as half,” says Syngenta seeds technical expert, Ben Urquhart. “Importantly, as well as BYDV tolerance, SY Buzzard also maintains the other usual hybrid barley characteristics. These include high and stable yield, good specific weight, suppression of certain grass weeds, early maturity and efficient utilisation of nitrogen fertiliser. Hybrid barley also has flexible end uses – including feed grain, but also wholecrop for either anaerobic digestion or forage. “Yield-wise, SY Buzzard brings a high UK treated yield of 103% of control varieties on the new winter barley AHDB RL, and particularly notable yield performance in the East, at 104% of controls. “It combines these yields with good disease resistance, including the highest resistance rating to net blotch

of 7, plus good resistance to lodging and a low level of brackling. “It is also early to mature, with a rating of -1. An early harvest can be important for farm cash flow and to provide a good entry for winter OSR.” The second newcomer, two-row feed variety LG Capitol, has high treated and untreated yields, with a good disease resistance package. LG Caravelle remains the highest yielding two-row winter barley for the second year running, since joining the Recommended List in 2023. Offering UK yields of 105.6%, the variety certainly competes with the best yielding hybrid barleys, especially in the east, Limagrain says. LG Capitol is a sister variety to LG Caravelle, offering similar yields and consistency of performance over seasons and regions. Its yields sit just 0.1% behind that of LG Caravelle, at 105.5%. The spring barley list has six new varieties, all under evaluation for malting by the Malting Barley Committee (MBC); three for brewing only, two for brewing and malt distilling, and one for malt distilling only. The List now makes it easier to identify which varieties have full MBC approval or are under test.

In terms of yield, especially in the East region, Bounty¹ (from Agrovista) is the standout addition. Under test for brewing only, it offers good disease and lodging resistance. NOS Gambit (Senova) and LG Aquarius, also under test for brewing only, are lower yielding than Bounty, although disease resistance and standing are good. Under test for both brewing and malt distilling are Belter (Agrii) and Olsen (Limagrain) that feature treated and untreated yields above the current market leaders. NOS Munro (Senova) is under test for malt distilling only and is high yielding in the North. While the new additions offer improvements in yield and/or disease resistance compared with the current market leaders (RGT Planet and Laureate), the market is tough to break into and they may still fail to achieve full MBC approval.

Wheat lists The latest winter wheat list has just five new varieties. However, these provide some much-needed diversity to the sector. SY Cheer is the first provisional UKFM Group 1 variety since 2017, with its relatively high untreated yield and good resistance to rusts standout features. UKFM will confirm its Group 1 classification in March 2024. However, baking quality test results have been good to date, which includes good gluten strength. “Usefully in the Group 1 category, SY Cheer provides a practical combination of high grain quality, high yields and robust foliar disease resistance,” says Syngenta seeds marketing manager, Kathryn Hamlen. “We see it as a quality wheat made simple. It is an exciting variety,” she adds. “As well as a UK treated yield of 97% of control varieties on the RL, SY Cheer has given consistently high treated yields across all UK regions, only varying by 1% point. “Meanwhile, the disease resistance ratings for SY Cheer, of a 6 against Septoria tritici, 7 against yellow rust and 6 against brown rust, give it a good foundation against these three major UK pathogens. This good disease resistance drives its high untreated yield.” The list also features two new recommended UKFM Group 3 varieties. Bamford (Elsoms) has very high treated and untreated yields, which match up to the best Group 4 varieties, and good disease resistance and grain quality. With approval for distilling and export, it may attract good interest from growers. Almara (Senova) is recommended continued over…

Winter oilseed rape list

only for the North region, where it has good treated (based on limited data) and untreated yields. It has approval for export. Its favourable distilling report marked it out as a good variety for this region. In the field, Almara has excellent yellow rust resistance with a rating of 8. This is complemented by ratings of 6 for septoria, brown rust and mildew, as well as resistance to orange wheat blossom midge. As Senova’s Tom Yewbrey explains, Almara is coming onto the market at a time when new Group 3 varieties are urgently required and market flexibility is essential. The only new Group 4 soft variety is Blackstone (Elsoms), with good disease and lodging resistance and untreated yield. It also received a favourable distilling report and its high specific weight offers reassurance to feed growers. The only hard Group 4 variety added is LG Beowulf. With consistent high yields (across regions), high untreated yields, resistance to lodging and good grain quality, it adds further strength to this already strong group.

The winter oilseed rape list features information on verticillium stem stripe resistance for the first time. Varieties are rated as either susceptible, moderately resistant or intermediate. Those rated as moderately resistant are significantly different to those rated as susceptible. However, data is currently limited for most varieties. The need for this disease data was identified in the previous RL review and is the culmination of nearly a decade’s worth of research investment. Phoma stem canker ratings have been ‘reset’ to correct a drift in the ratings over recent years. As a result, ratings have generally fallen. However, this does not reflect a change in varietal resistance rather improvements to the rating calculation process. The three new UK-recommended hybrid varieties – LG Armada, LG Academic and LG Adeline³ – have high yields and good disease resistance, including resistance to TuYV. They do not currently have a verticillium rating. LG Armada tops the UK and E/W List at 107%, LG Academic follows just behind at 106%, with LG Adeline taking pole position on the Northern List with an outstanding yield of 108.3%. LG Armada is the first of Limagrain’s seventh generation of hybrids, bringing new maintainer and restorer lines to its OSR portfolio. “This is an exceptional achievement for any breeder,” explains Limagrain’s arable technical manager, Ron Granger. “Last year saw our winter wheat and winter barley varieties take top positions across the RL. “We have built on this success for a second year running, producing higher yielding varieties, backed up with desirable agronomic characteristics, securing high yield performance on farm. What’s more, these varieties have proven to be robust and consistent performers across seasons and regions.” Recommended for the East/West region, hybrid variety Dolphin (DSV) has a high yield. It has good disease resistance and is one of only seven varieties to be rated as moderately resistant to verticillium. A new UK-recommended conventional variety Pi Pinnacle (Grainseed) has particularly good yields in the East/West region and good light leaf spot resistance. Miraculix CL (DSV) is a new Clearfield variety for the North region, where it has relatively high yields. Five varieties from LSPB which were added to the List last year have remained, giving growers a wide choice of yield, agronomic characters and marketing outlets.

LG Beowulf yields 106% across the UK and shows the same consistency of performance across all regions: East (106%), West (106%) and North (107%) – an outstanding achievement for any variety. It can be drilled early or late – providing growers with a wide drilling window, as a first or second wheat, on light or heavy land. The spring wheat list has two new varieties. UKFM Group 2 WPB Mylo (from LSPB) is a short variety with good disease resistance. SEW19-3003SW2² is a very high-yielding hard Group 4 variety with good disease resistance and high specific weight.

LG Armada.

Turing is the current highest-yielding variety based on seed yield on the RL, and just one percentage point off the highest yielding varieties for gross output for the UK, with strong performance in both East/West and North regions. Its excellent yield potential is combined with very good light leaf spot resistance, and outstanding autumn and spring vigour. Vegas has the same UK recommendation as Turing and is very high yielding, with exceptional RlmS phoma resistance. It has very good light leaf spot scores, mid-maturity and is very vigorous – particularly in the spring. Murray remains well positioned in the East/West-only recommendation category with high gross output and high seed yield. Murray combines this high yield potential with, as for Vegas, exceptional RlmS phoma resistance as well as good light leaf spot scores and strong spring vigour. Added to this, with the new AHDB ratings for verticillium wilt resistance, it features in the highest category of moderately resistant, showcasing its broad stem

health characteristics. The two other LSPB varieties on the Lists focus on the important disease challenge of clubroot and the niche – but valuable – market opportunity for high erucic (HEAR). Crome is the clubroot resistant variety with a Specific Recommendation (Sp) for the UK for growing on land infected with common strains of clubroot – which is on the rise across the UK and particularly prevalent in Scotland, the borders, and in western regions. Crome has a high gross output, decent resistance to light leaf spot with good stem stiffness and resistance to lodging. Resort is the only HEAR variety on the AHDB Described List. There are worthwhile benefits of growing HEAR rape for the right grower, given the demand from specialist markets with significant buyback contract premiums, and the same agronomy and growing costs as double lows. LSPB’s managing director, Chris Guest comments: “Vegas and Murray in particular underline the results of the innovation in our breeding programme bringing restored hybrids with the high resistance to stem canker from the new major gene phoma resistance RlmS with very high disease ratings, alongside excellent light leaf spot resistance. “We see stem health is a key component of our new genetics and a large driver to high yield potential and robust plant health, while also giving good tolerance to late season diseases – including verticillium wilt. “We look forward to the addition of our newly listed ‘candidate varieties’ to this section of the AHDB RL to showcase our next generation of hybrid varieties featuring high continued over…

Oats lists The spring oats list features two new varieties. Husked variety Asterion (from Saaten Union) offers good treated and untreated yields, good disease resistance and high kernel content. Ovation (Senova) is a new described naked oat, notable for its relatively high untreated yield. Once again, there are no new winter oat varieties. Popular spring oat variety Merlin remains on the list for 2024/25. Farmers from across the UK are seeing success with Merlin spring oats due to the early harvest, high disease resistance and strong yield potential, says breeder Cope Seeds & Grain. Because of their early maturity, Merlin spring oats do well in wetter climates, where early ripening is vital. They also offer good standing, high disease resistance and low screenings. Right up in the north of Scotland, Ewan Mackenzie from W&A Geddes Ltd, works with farmers in Caithness. He reports that he has successfully transitioned more than two thirds of the oat cultivation area in the region to Merlin spring oats, with intentions to convert the entire oat crop to Merlin in the coming years. “We had 10 farmers growing around 809ha of Merlin in 2023, and we saw the best yields that I can remember,” says Ewan. Ewan supplies most of the oats grown in the region to Hamlyns of Scotland, a subsidiary of Morning

Foods. “The quality was excellent, with bushel weights at a minimum of 56kg/ hl and a maximum of 61.8kg/hl. Yields averaged over 7t/ha dried. We had a good bold sample with Merlin, it has good disease resistance, and it had fewer screenings than other varieties. “What we look for in the North of Scotland is good standing and an early harvest and Merlin has these attributes. Going forward it looks to be the variety we will be using,” adds Ewan. Hampshire arable farmer, Richard Monk, has been growing Merlin for four years. “We continue to be very pleased with Merlin as the best spring oat available. 2023 harvest is our fourth year of growing Merlin and we grew 70ha in total. “It has done well despite a difficult spring growing season. The quality was good, and yields ranged from 6.8 to 8.3 t/ha. I am very happy to continue growing Merlin,” he says. Gemma Clarke at Cope Seeds & Grain is pleased with Merlin’s performance. “Merlin is an early variety (-1), it offers a competitive lodging score of 7, and a high rating of 8 for mildew. “Merlin has low screenings which is a real bonus to the mills and a specific weight above Delfin, Aspen and Conway. It’s this mix of low screenings, good specific weight and kernel content that is generating interest from the millers,” she shares. FG 1 Bounty will be added to the VL in January 2024 (provided no representations are received). 2 SEW19-3003SW (proposed name ‘Everlong’) will be added to the VL in spring 2024 (provided no representations are received). 3 LG Adeline will be added to the VL in January 2024 (provided no representations are received).

Arable newer varieties. KWS Ladum has no major disease weaknesses, with high resistance to mildew, brown rust and Septoria tritici. It will be a major consideration for next spring. KWS Cochise, and to a lesser extent KWS Chilham provide alternatives in the Group 2 sector, which is little changed, although KWS Alicium is a new addition for 2023 and is showing potential. Hard Group 4 options include WPB Escape and KWS Fixum, both of which are slightly later maturing (+1 compared with Mulika). KWS Fixum has no major disease weaknesses, with high resistance to yellow rust, mildew and brown rust.

Order early to secure spring seed

Oats

Book spring seed requirements in good time given strong demand and tighter supplies going into next season, says Hutchinsons seeds manager for the south, Peter Brundle.

The current market leaders for spring oats are WPB Elyann and WPB Isabel, although Merlin has made significant headway since joining the Recommended List last year, and Canyon still has support within the market place.

Spring pulses Demand for spring seed has increased following the exceptionally wet autumn in many parts of the UK, which has disrupted some winter drilling plans. If conditions do not dry out enough to allow winter drilling to be completed, this is likely to mean more unplanned spring cropping to fill the gap. Seed supply is also tighter than normal due to disappointing yields and quality of many spring crops from the 2023 season. Some key varieties are likely to sell out before Christmas, if they have not done so already, therefore if you know what you want, order early to avoid disappointment.

Barley remains top choice Despite lower market prices and

disappointing performance in 2023, spring barley remains the main spring cropping option for many farmers, given the range of established markets available. It also offers the best option for rotational suppression of black-grass and other grassweeds, so if you’ve not sown hybrid barley in the winter, then it is a good choice, and is better than spring wheat, which doesn’t offer the same competitiveness in the field. End user requirements often dictate variety choice for those supplying premium spring barley contracts, but where growers have more flexibility, there are some good options to consider. Laureate is now the undoubted number one in the marketplace, outselling its competitors, while offering dual purpose end markets,

as does LG Diablo, although that’s not as widely grown. Previous market leader RGT Planet is likely to continue losing market share; however, it will still attract support from growers that have seen very consistent performance. Skyway is a very competent offer, and has potential brewing ability, although it is still under test by the Malting Barley Committee (MBC) at the time of writing. As for feed varieties, Westminster and Kelim are still popular, but malting varieties arguably offer better yield.

Spring wheat choices Mulika, KWS Ladum, and newcomer KWS Harsum are the main Group 1 choices, although Mulika is now at a significant yield disadvantage to

Lynx will again be the dominant variety among spring bean growers, although Ghengis has attracted some followers since joining the list in 2021. Genius is now the highest yielding on the Descriptive List, but availability in any significant quantity could be an issue so order early. Carrington and Bluetime are popular pea options, while newcomer Butterfly shows the strength and depth of the LSPB portfolio. Kameleon and Orchestra are the standout white peas, however, availability is key. Takayama is the new addition to the list for Marrowfats and Sakura has shown its consistency and support from the end user. The yield gap is circa 10%, but again, as with anything that involves a quality premium, this will be decided by the end user. FG

Spring barley: The best option for 2024? and so can help to save costs on herbicides. Crop nutrition is also vitally important. One of the key nutrients to consider with spring barley is manganese. The best way to provide manganese in the early stages is by using a seed treatment – that way, the crop does not suffer a check in growth during the first few weeks. Crops that have a good supply of manganese during establishment often show better resistance to diseases such as powdery mildew, so some savings on fungicides can be possible.

Most farmers have struggled to complete their planned sowing due to the exceptional autumn rainfall. With limited supplies and high demand, certified seed will once again be an expensive option and the best varieties will also be difficult to find. So, farm saving of seed will be the most cost-effective alternative for farmers who still have the right varieties in store. According to NAAC, the best choice for most farmers could be to sow spring barley in 2024. Good establishment in the spring is the key to good yields and grain quality. Trials have proved that sowing big seed with the appropriate seed treatment is the best way to get a rapid establishment. Rapid establishment also helps to suppress weeds

Supporting your crop protection decisions and knowledge The 2024 edition of the British Crop Production Council’s UK Pesticide Guide is available to pre-order for January 2024 delivery, with up to 12 NRoSO and four BASIS points available on purchase. Technical and business errors in farming can come at a high cost. The stakes are expected to get higher as our industry comes to terms with new legislation, changing the direction of UK farming from one of progressive intensification seen over the past 50 years, to one based on sustainability, with any support aligned to the provision of public goods focused on the environment. Understanding the technical and business issues which could help protect future profitability is vital. Having the business tools and science-based factual information to make the most appropriate decisions is essential.

When it comes to making those decisions, help is at hand in the form of the BCPC’s UK Pesticide Guide 2024, available in print and online. Familiarly known as the Green Book, it is the independent, authoritative reference for all pesticide products and adjuvants approved for use in agriculture, amenity, forestry and horticulture, and a vital resource for sprayer operators, farmers, advisors, agronomists, and industry professionals. For arable and mixed farms, safeguarding profitability will include all aspects of crop husbandry to reduce production costs and improve competitiveness.

Not least of those, given the renewed interest in integrated crop management, is understanding the rapidly changing use and availability of crop protection products. The UK Pesticide Guide 2024 features 13 new active ingredients, formulations and products. It also includes the details on differences in pesticide approvals between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, as the province still has to comply with EU pesticide regulations

whereas Great Britain can make its own decision. So, when it comes to making those technical decisions surrounding the complex and potentially costly issues of crop protection, the UK Pesticide Guide 2024 is one of the best investments you make this year.

Regenerating our Earth

Working with Agrii’s R&D team from Stow Longa near Huntingdon, Roger and Virginia Mills along with their son Mark are exploring a wide range of integrated cultural controls alongside the most effective chemistry to deal with triple R-resistant ryegrass. Huge variations in weed control are being highlighted across a wide range of tillage regimes, rotations, crop and variety choices. And the work is already extending to finding better ways of managing the health and vitality of soils with some of the highest silt contents in the country.

Resistant ryegrass “When we first got involved with the Agrii work, our overwhelming need was to deal with the resistant ryegrass that is so problematic locally,” explains self-confessed ‘wheat junky’, Roger who is now growing almost twice as much spring barley as wheat across the 325ha business.

“Too many people will tell you it’s just like black-grass. But, from bitter experience, we know it’s far more serious. It spreads much more rapidly. It’s very much more competitive. It keeps germinating right into the spring. And the physical pressure it puts on cereals can easily destroy them completely, making a promising crop fit for nothing more than silage. “We’ve learnt an unbelievable amount in recent years. And not just about ryegrass either. The research is utterly transforming the way we think about and manage our ground. “We made the change to minimum tillage around 20 years ago and brought in much better crops as a result,” he recalls. “But we failed to appreciate how much harder our ground had been getting to work over the years and how much more horsepower, diesel and metal we were having to use. “Like many, I suspect, the change Roger (right) and Mark Mills.

The high silt content makes the Old Appleton soils very prone to consolidation.

was too gradual for us to notice. We are getting decent wheat yields, our drains continued to run well and we still had plenty of worms. So, we just put every challenging season down to the weather and got on with it. “Armed with their spades, full soil analyses and practical soil health understanding, Colin Lloyd and Steve Corbett soon worked with our agronomist, Rob Daniel to put us right. They have opened our eyes to how much more we could make from our cropping by changing our approach. Which we have been doing as fast as we can, and making great progress as a result.”

Waking up ryegrass seed Amongst other things, regularly soil loosening with wide-winged legs on their Sumo Versadrill Plus as they drilled had helped the Mills family grow good 10t/ha wheat crops when the conditions were right. Having explored what was actually happening in setting-up the trial site, though, they realised their establishment approach was waking up ryegrass seed at just the wrong time. It was also encouraging silt to run through the profile to pan out, leading to very tight soils without the vertical linkages essential for the best rooting, worm activity and drainage. Appreciating this, the group designed their initial work to explore a range of cultivation, cropping and rotational approaches. Despite two incredibly wet winters forcing major changes in planting plans, they clearly established that, just like blackgrass, ploughing could be a good reset, reducing weed populations approaching 2,000 plants/m2 to virtually zero. “Our first year’s work with spring crops also showed straw raking and direct drilling was worse for both weed populations and crop performance than a single pass with a set of discs,” Colin Lloyd reports. “Uncropped strips between the spring oats, triticale and spring barley we grew under each regime underlined both this and the extra competitive

value of the cropping. “Of the three crops, oats proved the most and triticale the least effective in reducing ryegrass populations ahead of the six different varieties of winter barley, five winter wheats and three spring barleys we drilled the following season. “True to black-grass form, ploughing the previously ploughed land just brought-up the weed seed again while ploughing previously min-tilled ground led to the lowest ryegrass counts,” he says. “Wheats on the ploughed block yielded reasonably at an average of 10.5t/ha but they were the only ones we were able to harvest in 2021. Sky high ryegrass levels in the other wheat blocks meant they had to be foraged. “The ploughed block gave us reasonable winter and spring barley yields too – around 9.0t/ha and 7.5t/ ha respectively. While we were able to harvest them on the other blocks, at near enough 5t/ha in both cases the barleys here were very disappointing. It just underlines how problematic ryegrass can be.” Even though rotational ploughing stood out for doing by far the best ryegrass control job, the team quickly appreciated they needed to look far beyond it for the most sustainable solution at North Hall Farm. This was mainly because soil analyses revealed a silt content of 49%, together with organic matters at little more than 2.5% and disappointing levels of biological activity.

Soil health focus Since then the focus on the trial site and across the Mills’ wider Olde Appleton Farms business has, first and foremost, been on building organic matter and soil health – not least with sewage cake and cover cropping. At the same time, their min-till and drilling approach has been adapted to reduce pressure on the ground. And they are exploring a far wider range of rotational options. “The trials are providing us with

the best practical intelligence we can get on improving the health and workability of these difficult silt soils while controlling the ryegrass scourge,” points out Rob Daniel. “However good it may be at controlling grassweeds, ploughing can create serious problems with silt panning if we are not very careful. So, we have had to look beyond it. “Spring cropping is particularly important here, which is why Roger and Mark have so much of it in the ground at the moment despite their long-standing preference for winter wheat. “Delaying winter wheat drilling can help too but later drilling can actually make things worse if it leads to a less competitive crop. Delaying spring drilling until after ryegrass’ normal mid-late March spring flush is probably a better bet for us, providing we have crops and varieties that can take it. “The trials work has really shown us the value of competitive winter crops like hybrid barley and rye – providing they can be sown early enough – as well as more competitive wheat varieties and spring cereals. “However, the key to the most

competitive crops has to be the best establishment and the healthiest, most resilient soils. These are consequently the focus of so much of our improvement efforts.” Thoroughly enthused by the trial team’s objective assessments and fresh thinking, Roger and Mark Mills have wasted no time in applying a host of initial learnings to their entire business. As well as a wholesale change in their tillage and establishment regime over the past two years, they have almost doubled the amount of sewage cake to around 4,000t/year across the farm.

“Dramatic” cover crop difference They have moved from zero to more than 120ha of cover cropping in a single season. And, having seen the dramatic difference it made to both the soil and ryegrass populations in just a year, are keen to ‘fight fire with fire’ using September-sown Westerwolds ryegrass, cut for silage then direct drilled with wheat the following autumn. “It’s a huge learning process and we are very far from having all the answers yet,” insists Roger. “As far as we can see, there’s no killer

solution. It’s more a matter of putting a multitude of things together in the best possible way. “Switching to a much lighter and more flexible tillage approach is, however, really helping; especially on our turning headlands. “Separating the subsoiling from our other operations and employing a 4in wing rather than our previous 14in one means we are using the least possible metal at depth now and only where it’s needed. As well as reducing silt panning, we don’t wake up nearly so much ryegrass at drilling, either. “We’d love to use FYM but we just

can’t get enough of it around here, so sewage cake is our soil health improver of choice. We are looking to marry this with less soil movement, cover cropping and the best crop residue retention to reverse the decline in soil biology and workability as quickly as we can while stabilising the silt in the profile. “It is working economically too,” he adds. “What we are saving in reducing our cultivations each year pays for our cover cropping. And we should be giving our tractors a longer working life as well as cutting their maintenance bills.” FG

Sugar beet update from inside the Wissington factory British Sugar’s Wissington factory opened its doors to press at the end of November, providing an update on this year’s campaign and work being done to tackle virus yellows and carbon emissions – as well as answering questions on next year’s beet contracts. Sarah Kidby reports. Whilst UK beet production dropped off in 2022 – primarily due to the frost event, drought and new pest challenge in the beet moth – the crop is expected to return to more normal levels this year. However, the changing climate demonstrates that we can’t take our foot off the peddle when it comes to maintaining the yield progression we’ve seen in recent years, said Andrew Dear, head of agricultural technical support. “This year’s crop looks really healthy; we’ve had minimal impact of virus yellows,” he said. “Obviously, we’ve had the derogation this year and about 60% of the crop was treated with Cruiser seed treatment. We’re seeing minimal impact in both treated and non-treated crops. Cruiser is just a first step and we also have foliar insecticides to control aphids as well. This year we’ve been quite successful in doing that, and we’ve seen a very low level of virus across the whole crop.” At the start of the year, the Rothamsted model had indicated there would be a significant virus yellows problem in the absence of chemical control, but cold wet weather in spring significantly impacted aphid first flights. The three-year derogation period is now up, but British Sugar has applied again for 2024. Transmitted by aphids, particularly the peach potato aphid, virus yellows is a complex of three viruses: beet mild yellowing, which can cause losses of approximately 28%, chlorosis (22% losses) and BYV (up to 50% losses). The British Beet Research Organisation (BBRO), jointly funded by UK beet growers

and British Sugar, has earmarked much of its research funding to virus yellows, as one of the biggest threats to the UK beet industry. Areas being explored include chemistry, gene editing, rotational control and camouflaged crops to prevent aphids landing. When it comes to chemistry, the future will lie away from neonics, veering more towards foliar insecticides. Andrew added that whilst significant rainfall presented a challenge in the early part of the season, they had worked with hauliers to keep throughput going. Additionally, issues with the lime kiln feed last year, particularly at the Cantley factory, had been addressed, and all factories were running well.

Beet contracts for 2024/25 At the time of the event, negotiations with NFU Sugar on the contract price for 2024/25 were ongoing – but it’s since been announced that two weeks of intense talks failed to reach an agreement. British Sugar’s head of corporate affairs, Olivia Seccombe said during the press day that a “significant number” of its 2,300 growers signed up to the original offer released in November, before contracting was paused. These contracts are valid, she confirmed, and growers will have the option to move across to any new offer agreed with NFU Sugar. Olivia said the offer had been released ahead of an agreement with NFU Sugar as many growers had been seeking certainty, allowing them to get seeds ordered. Following the negotiations, British Sugar improved its offer to include a £40/t fixed price

option, or £38/t plus market-linked bonus (with yield protection costing £1 in either case). A future negotiation process was also agreed, whereby negotiations would begin in May each year and growers would usually get a crop price in July. There would also be a British Sugar/NFU escalation and dispute resolution process ending no later than 31st October. The outstanding contract term that remains in dispute is the futures linked contract, which allows growers to play on the world market for sugar. Arbitration could now take 2–3 months to complete, so contract and seed order screens reopen on 18th December 2023, British Sugar confirmed. The beet price for 2023 went up 48% to £40/t, mainly to reflect the spike in fertiliser and energy costs, but inputs have now reduced slightly and indexes suggest sugar prices have peaked and are now coming down, Olivia said. However, one visitor noted that the way British Sugar views the balance of risk and reward differs from growers and NFU Sugar – with growers seeing the potential for £50/t through the future linked contract and feeling that British Sugar is not sharing its profits when times are good. However, Olivia said the futures linked contract is available for those growers “with a big appetite for risk”, but the price “will go up and it will absolutely come down”. Andrew shared that the futures contact has worked very favourably for growers over the past two years, but there are concerns about being exposed to too much potential risk. Other features in the original offer included a cash advance in June to help summer cashflows, frost insurance (included with all contracts to cover production costs), and local premiums for growers within 20 miles of the factories (starting at £2/t for 1 mile, on a sliding scale down). There was also an additional tonnage option, late delivery allowance to cover storage losses (payments would start on 26th December) and a beet delivery service, allowing growers to either have haulage allowance paid, or get an ex-farm beet price and British Sugar negotiates and arranges deliveries. In-house soil sampling, with additional services through NRM, are also available. British Sugar has restarted its harvester evaluations at the request of growers, which help growers to recover as much of the crop and get it into the factory as possible. Additionally, it has been looking at a Field to Factory Partnership aiming to improve the efficiency of deliveries. FG January 2024 www.farmersguide.co.uk 29

An impressive 11 varieties join the 2024 PGRO Descriptive List A total of six combining peas, two winter beans and three spring beans have completed the requisite number of years in trials and demonstrated the necessary qualities for inclusion in the PGRO Descriptive List for pulses. Rachel Hicks reports. PGRO senior technical officer Dr Chris Judge launched the 2024 Descriptive List in late November during a webinar attended by almost 100 farmers, breeders, agronomists and industry stakeholders. He explained that despite going through heatwaves, cold snaps and a wide variety of temperatures and conditions, trials were conducted successfully and the varieties grown across the country demonstrated good consistency in terms of yield and impressive disease resistance. “The control yield for peas, spring beans and winter beans were all very similar to the 2023 Descriptive List,” Chris said. “Looking at the five years currently used in the datasets, yields were slightly down in 2023 compared to 2022 for all three pulse groups.” Two yellow combining peas – Concerto (LSPB) and Batist (Senova) – are the new top-yielding varieties producing 115% and 113% of the control respectively. KWS Flam is the other new yellow pea, yielding 110%. A new pink pea category has been created for the Descriptive List to accommodate the new variety Flamingo (Cope Seeds & Grain). In trials it was the lowest-yielding pea listed (78%). Shazam (Senova) and Reacher (IAR Agri) are the two green peas making their debut on the list, and both have good all-round qualities in terms of yield and disease resistance. Elsoms Seeds is the UK agent for a new marrowfat variety, Vision, which

has become the highest yielder in that category, achieving 100% of the control. In 2023 many winter bean trials struggled with frost damage after two cold snaps in short succession last winter. Despite this, harvest conditions were good in the summer and two new varieties – LG Arctic (Limagrain) and Ninja (Senova) – have completed their ascent to the Descriptive List. Conversely, spring bean trials suffered in the heat. The hotterthan-average June led to similar yields to 2022 when heatwaves also struck during key stages of crop development. Synergy (Saaten Union) is the highest yielding of the three varieties entering the list for 2024 (107%), closely followed by Navara (Senova) which yielded 106%, and LG Hawk (Limagrain) which returned 101%. The full Descriptive List data can be downloaded from www.pgro.org

all farm conditions and rotations,” comments LSPB pulses product manager, Michael Shuldham (pictured below). “Genius is at the top of the DL with the highest seed yield and offers growers a large sized bean plus excellent agronomic characters including high standing ability at harvest and good resistance to downy mildew. “Lynx is a consistently high yielding variety that brings reliability in changing seasons with a very high seed yield, good resistance to downy mildew and high standing ability at harvest. “Both have yields significantly above varieties introduced just a few years ago to underline the growth in varietal yield performance – as

well as improvements in agronomic characteristics. “The other feature to note is that LSPB now has the LVC varieties (low vicine/convicine) Futura and Victus on the DL with yields within a few per cent of the leading traditional varieties. The improved nutritional profile of these will help to widen the market for spring beans – we see LVC as the future of spring beans in the UK.” It is worth stressing that yield alone is not everything, and agronomic characters and quality can be equally important. As one example for spring beans, Yukon’s lower yield on the DL is offset by its highest downy mildew resistance rating plus the earliest maturity on the spring bean DL, added to a very bold sample to increase its market potential. Grower experiences have shown it is around 14 days earlier than most spring beans in practical farm situations – indeed Yukon’s earliness over other varieties may have had an adverse influence on its yield figures in official trials. The 2024 DL for combining peas shows a similar presence from LSPB, with Concerto leading the yellow pea DL. Concerto is a new addition to the List and brings a massive yield advantage back to yellow peas with a very good standing power at harvest and offers a good option to growers looking to get peas into their rotation. Orchestra is the other high yielding LSPB yellow pea on the DL. The green pea DL is headed by Carrington – the highest yielding variety with high downy mildew resistance and good standing power, plus three further high yielding LSPB green peas; Butterfly, Stroma and Bluetime. In the marrowfat section, Takayama and Akooma are both highyielding varieties with good resistance to downy mildew and good standing ability at harvest.

Strong and consistent performance The new PGRO Descriptive Lists for spring beans and combining peas are once again headed by LSPB varieties, confirming the strong and consistent performance of the company’s varieties, both in official trials and on farm. “The 2024 DL for spring beans includes six LSPB varieties, giving pulse growers a wide choice to suit

05/12/2023 3:16 pm


Michael concludes: “In summary, LSPB's pulse varieties are a strong constituent of the new PGRO 2024 Descriptive Lists and show the continuing improvement of pulses for yield, agronomic characters and marketability, underlining our commitment to developing the UK pulse crop to the benefit of growers and end users in the future.”

High yielding marrowfat variety continues to impress Two of the UK’s pulse specialists – Wherry & Sons Limited and Robin Appel Limited – both predict that leading marrowfat variety Octavia will increase market share and growing area over the next two years, providing current seed stock levels and seed availability increase in line with current demand. The variety, bred by Nordic Seeds and marketed in the UK by breeder Elsoms Seeds, has already established a strong position as the highest yielding, commercially available marrowfat variety on the current PGRO Descriptive List and looks a solid choice for pulse growers according to Wherry & Sons associate director, Franek Smith. Franek comments: “As the highestyielding available marrowfat variety, and with a 7 for standing ability at harvest, Octavia has already caught the eye of many pulse growers. It’s well-liked on-farm with a reputation for achieving high yields and is certainly a step forward from Sakura, formerly the leading marrowfat pea since 2008. It has not yet reached its full market potential and I believe grower demand is certainly there. At Wherry’s, we’ve sold out of Octavia for 2024 and already have significant interest for 2025. “I first saw Octavia in trials in 2019 where it performed extremely well. I think its introduction to the market came at the right time, offering growers greater varietal choice with improved standing ability being a critical factor. Key end markets for Octavia, including both wasabi peas and allergy-free pea-based crisps that are significantly higher in fibre and

30-31 Arable.indd 31

protein than traditional potato crisps, should help keep future demand high alongside the agronomic benefits that pulses bring to all rotations. “Although most growers understand that pulses are nitrogen fixing, and make an excellent entry for a first wheat, I think it’s also very important to remember that they are a carbon negative crop, offsetting more carbon than they require. With future payment incentives in contracts for reduced carbon, I firmly believe that more growers should introduce pulses into their rotation as a key way of achieving new green targets,” he concludes. Pulse trader and marrowfat specialist, Andrew Brown, of Robin Appel Limited supports Franek’s comments, and – as a former pulse grower himself – sees Octavia’s key agronomic trait of standing ability at harvest as the one of the keys to its future success. Andrew adds: “Historically, marrowfat peas always had a reputation of being more difficult to grow due to their weaker straw. However, I believe Octavia has helped to change that negative perception with its ability to stand so well at harvest and go through the combine more smoothly than its predecessors. Ease of combining, so that more of the crop goes into the shed creating high yields and better overall crop quality, is absolutely critical to growers. “The greater carbon efficiency of pulses, due to the residual nitrogen they leave in the soil for the following crop, make them an increasingly attractive option for growers who need to reduce their carbon audits. On end markets, the known health benefits of marrowfat peas and established markets for plant-based protein in Asia should offer a strong future for varieties such as Octavia. “I can certainly see Octavia taking more market share and securing a larger growing area over the next 2–3 years, providing there’s an increase in future seed stocks of the variety to ensure greater seed availability.” FG

Ensure your potato crop is dry in store before treatment The 2023 potato harvest has turned into something of a nightmare for many, with extreme rainfall events from mid-October. Crops coming out of wet ground are likely to go into store with higher levels of moisture and (wet) soil than is ideal, and care should be taken to ensure that crops are dry before treating with Biox-M. Crops with significant wet soil attaching can be expected to take longer to dry than crops harvested in better conditions. The advice to ensure that crops

are dry and cured in-store before treatment with Biox-M (100% spearmint oil applied to stored potatoes as a hot fog) is very straightforward. Crops which are

not cured or are treated when moist, are more likely to suffer damage if treated too early. However, in challenging harvest situations, such as those facing growers in 2023, and

if dormancy has broken in the field due to harvest delay, patience is even more important. Crops must be cured and dry before the initial treatment. A delay to allow crops to dry completely is unlikely to result in uncontrollable sprouting, and would be expected to deliver good control when Biox-M is applied in more suitable conditions. Every store is different and should be managed accordingly. It is always good practice to keep records, as detailed as possible, of crop and store condition during the storage season, but most importantly in the lead up and immediately following each treatment. A good set of records of store and crop temperatures, of fan settings and entry ports, of the date(s) when the store is re-opened and refrigeration or ambient air exchange switched back on, allows the storekeeper to record and assess the factors that deliver the best efficacy, and to work towards extended treatment intervals, as well as to avoid unintended problems. Biox-M has been in the market and in use for more than a decade, and a great many growers have become familiar with the need for attention to detail. FG

Suffolk farmers were invited to a roundtable event by the Rural Payments Agency (RPA), where they heard the latest on available schemes and grants – and shared concerns about the level of financial support for food production versus environmental management. Sarah Kidby attended.

As the UK continues its transition away from direct payments, there have been ongoing concerns that a lack of support for producing food could see farmland being increasingly lost to environmental schemes. RPA and Defra representatives were keen to stress that maintaining food production remains the priority, alongside enhancing the environment – and outlined plans to improve the way they work with farmers and make schemes more flexible. But while the aim is to use less productive land for environmental projects, farmers at the event pointed out that for many enterprises, it could prove significantly more profitable to plant trees or wild bird seed than to grow food. Sudbury tenant farmer Cameron Mckenna, who is also a chartered surveyor at Salter & Mckenna, commented that there is anxiety in the wider industry about an exodus from wheat production – given the high margins available for planting wild bird seed. Sandy Kapila, RPA’s head of external affairs, acknowledged that a balance must be struck but shared that he’s spoken to some farmers who feel the environmental schemes are not financially worthwhile for them, as wheat production is still more profitable. The challenge is to create a scheme that’s broad enough for all farmers, he added.

Jeremy Squirrell, who farms at Wattisham, said he will need to take a fair bit of land out of food production, or change farming practices which will reduce production, in order to meet net zero obligations by 2040. However, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to successfully grow break crops, he said, so there could be a reduction in those such as OSR, beans and linseed. James Batchelor-Wylam, NFU group secretary for Stowmarket and Sudbury, questioned whether tree planting targets will vary by county – as Suffolk, for example, is considered a productive arable area. Colin Horlock, of the Forestry Commission, said tree planting targets are England-wide, adding: “We don’t want to plant trees on good quality land; we’re aware that food security is vital. However, we can’t stop people who do want to plant on those fields.” Meanwhile, a recent national tenant farmers meeting highlighted some “alarming figures” from large landowners, warned NFU Suffolk county advisor Ella Thackray. The National Trust has announced that it wants to put 50% of its land – some 620,000 acres – into environmental schemes, which is seeing many farm business tenancies not being renewed. Sandy had heard similar feedback at other roundtable events and this has been fed back to ministers. This appears to be an “unintended consequence” of the schemes as they were designed with tenants in mind, he said. The Land Use Framework is also in development, which will underline what can and cannot be done with land.

What grants are available?

Colin Horlock, of the Forestry Commission, outlined the grants available for planting new woodlands.

SFI and CS offers for 2023: The SFI 2023 offer was published at the end of June and the scheme is less prescriptive, Sandy explained. It’s possible to join more than one scheme as long as there’s no double funding. This year, you can choose from 23 actions, adding new actions to the agreement each year. If actions are completed, quarterly payments are available, with the first made within

Farmers share concerns about loss of food-producing land

four months of the start of the agreement. There is also a £20/ha additional payment for up to the first 50ha (a maximum of £1,000 per farm). Buffer strips have also been increased from 4–6m in the existing CS, to 4–12m to give greater flexibility. Other grants you can apply for now include: • CS Capital, which can be applied for separately (you don’t need to be in CS) and has been extended to three years • Farming and Protected Landscapes: Focused on Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (now known as National Landscapes) • Tree Health Pilot: To help manage disease issues • Farming Innovation Programme: For big R&D projects • Animal Health and Welfare Pathway: Funding is available for a free annual vet review • A new round of the CSS Facilitation Fund. The Calf Housing grant and Automation and Robotics grants open for applications in late 2023. It’s likely there will also be an offer in 2024 with options for drainage, and other areas being looked at include new entrants, grassland, precision farming and diversification. Tree planting grants: The UK currently imports 80% of its timber and as direct payments are phased out, woodland could offer additional revenue streams. Colin Horlock, of the Forestry Commission, outlined three grants to help landowners establish new woodlands:

Sandy Kapila, RPA’s head of external affairs, speaking to Suffolk farmers at the roundtable in Brettenham.

• England Woodland Creation Offer: This

finances the capital costs of tree planting, up to a maximum of £10,200/ha, plus £350/ ha annually for 15 years for maintenance. Applications, which are open all year, can be made from as little as 1ha of land. Up to £8,000/ha is available in six additional contributions • Woodland Creation Planning Grant: This tends to be for more complex projects over 5ha where additional surveys are required. Up to £30,000 per site is available • Forestry England Woodland Partnership: Forestry England leases the land from the landowner, plants the woodland, manages it and registers the land with the World Carbon Code. This is for larger projects over 20ha. The Forestry Commission can calculate the carbon sequestration over a 50-year period, and this is tradeable – currently selling in the Woodland Carbon Code at around £25–30/t, Colin noted. FG

More to see and do at LAMMA for 2024

As the UK’s largest agricultural machinery show, LAMMA is set to pull out all the stops in 2024 and will supply visitors with a huge range of features yet again. Leading farm machinery brands JCB, Case IH, and Massey Ferguson have all confirmed a return to LAMMA, rejoining regular exhibitors Same DeutzFahr, Merlo, Krone, Valtra and Fendt at the NEC Birmingham on 17–18th January 2024. Many have also shared that their latest models will make their UK debut at the event, reinforcing LAMMA as the place to be to see the latest in machinery and agri-tech. John Smith, JCB agriculture managing director, said: “We’ll be at LAMMA in 2024 with our best-ever range of agricultural machines for productive farming and contracting. It will be an effective showcase for our products, held at the right time of year in a comfortable environment, and we are looking forward to having face-to-face conversations with existing and potential customers as we present an exciting line-up of existing and new machines.”

Esports league makes UK debut Internationally acclaimed gaming series Farming Simulator has chosen LAMMA as the site of the first ever UK venue for its esports league. LAMMA event director Sarah Whittaker-Smith said: “The world of esports may be new to some in our industry, but we know that a lot of farmers are also gamers. Many finish work on the farm, then go home to pick up their controllers and play in the evening. With more than 150 farming brands and big machinery names also getting involved, LAMMA is the perfect place for Farming Simulator League’s first UK event. “This competition brings something totally unique to LAMMA 2024, and we can’t wait to put it in front of a new audience.”

Internationally acclaimed gaming series Farming Simulator has chosen LAMMA as the site of the first ever UK venue for its esports league.

The Farming Simulator League event will take place across both days of the show, with teams of three players each competing live from the League Theatre in the NEC, aiming to survive multiple knock-out rounds to reach the final. During the competition, players earn points by manoeuvring tractors and other equipment over hilly terrain to deliver bales into their team’s barn, as well as by harvesting grain from a field using combines, tractors and trailers. Various other game elements and challenges impact strategies over the 10 minutes of game play, and the team with most points at the end wins.

Young Engineer Award celebrates rising stars The LAMMA show and the Institution of Agricultural Engineers (IAgrE) have partnered up for a third

successive year to announce the 2024 Young Engineer Award, showcasing the best of young engineering talent whose work helps UK farms to be more productive and sustainable. Daniel Broderick won the 2023 Young Engineer Award for his Cubi-Clean machine, which makes the process of cleaning dairy cow cubicles quicker and easier. Since winning the award, he has had very high demand for the machine through a dealership that he works with. “We are trying to build stock, but the Cubi-Clean is selling well and we can’t make them fast enough. There are worse problems to have. Everything is manufactured in-house from the raw materials, and we are always making continuous improvements throughout – anything from how the machine operates to the production process.” The LAMMA Young Engineer Award showcases engineers who have created or made changes to a piece of agricultural machinery, equipment or technology and, by doing so, improved efficiency, profitability or sustainability on-farm. Eligible entries can include: • Products that have been designed and fully manufactured • Prototypes in development • Concepts in the initial stages of development • Existing products that have been modified, providing they have substantially improved the efficiency, productivity and/or sustainability of the product. Those interested can find more details and the application form at www.lammashow.com. Entry is free, both individuals and companies are eligible to apply, and the award is open to engineers 35 years of age and under as of 1st January 2024.

Are cattle crushes really worth the investment? With continually rising costs on farm, finding and exploiting efficiencies is more important than ever. IAE explores the benefits of cattle crushes on farm, particularly when it comes to safety and efficiency. Since IAE started to manufacture cattle crushes in 1990, the company says it has seen huge strides in features and performance – from very basic painted units with limited access, to its premium squeeze range, it has continually evolved and improved its offerings. IAE says cattle crushes are in its DNA and the next step for the company is revolutionising. By definition, a cattle crush is a strongly built stall or cage that holds big, heavy and strong animals like cattle so that handlers (including vets) can work with them – however, in reality it is much more. IAE explores the advantages of utilising a cattle crush on farm, highlighting particularly its impact upon efficiency and safety...

Increased safety The safety of both the cattle and handlers is of utmost importance on any farm. A cattle crush offers a secure environment for conducting routine procedures such as TB testing, artificial insemination (AI) and administering other treatments, which significantly reduces the risk of injuries to both animal and handler. By restraining cattle, it minimises the chances of accidents or unpredictable behaviour during tasks such as tagging, vaccinations, and hoof trimming. This not only protects the animal but also ensures the safety of the handler. By tactically placing cattle access points, IAE aims to minimise as much risk as possible to create a safe working environment, and with the addition of optional extras, such as a cattle

crush extension, further precautionary measures can be taken. For example, the side doors of the extension will swing 90-degrees inwards and lock across the back of the crush. This prevents the animal from being able to kick the handler whilst pregnancy diagnosing or artificially inseminating the cow.

Improved cattle management Managing a herd of cattle can be challenging, but a cattle crush simplifies the process. It allows for better control and management of the animals. The crush facilitates easy separation and sorting of cattle for various purposes, such as breeding, medical treatments and weighing. With individual animals restrained within the crush, handlers can inspect and treat them individually, improving overall herd health and welfare.

Enhanced efficiency Time and labour savings are crucial factors in running a successful farm. A cattle crush streamlines the handling process, resulting in increased efficiency. Its efficient design allows for quick and easy access to the animals, reducing the time and effort required for each procedure. By eliminating the need for extra manpower, farmers can handle larger herds with ease, increasing productivity on the farm.

Reduced stress for cattle Stress can have a detrimental impact on cattle health and productivity. A good cattle crush will

minimise stress levels for the animals. The gentle and secure restraint provided by the crush keeps the cattle calm and relaxed during various procedures, and reduced stress leads to improved overall animal welfare and productivity, ensuring healthier and more productive cattle on the farm. There are extensive benefits to using a cattle crush in handling dairy and beef cattle on the farm. It provides increased safety for both the animals and the farmers, improved cattle management, enhanced efficiency, and reduced stress levels for the cattle. By implementing and investing in this efficient and safe equipment, farmers can enhance their cattle management practices and see a return that ensures the success of their operations. Investing in the right crush will make a difference to farm safety, cattle welfare and your bottom line, IAE concludes. FG Stand number: Hall 20 Stand 280

Security marking and tracker/ immobiliser fitted as standard Suzuki’s ever-popular KingQuad ATVs now come fitted with an enhanced security package as standard courtesy of the company’s partnership with Datatool and Datatag. The Japanese manufacturer has been working with Datatag and fitting its Cesar forensic marking system for over 10 years; but has now bolstered its security offering

by partnering with Datatool to fit a Thatcham-accredited tracking and immobiliser system as well. The Datatool Stealth S5+ tracker and immobiliser actively protect

the ATV against unauthorised movement as well as providing hotwire/forced ignition protection. Waterproof with a built-in antenna, the Datatool Stealth is a cuttingedge tracking device which benefits from a UK-based 24/7/365 Theft Monitoring Team and is 4G-enabled for superior tracking abilities as well as providing tow-away alerts and key cloning protection. In addition, the Datatool app enables customers to see the location of their ATV in real-time as well as journey history so you can see where the vehicle has been used. The Suzuki range currently comprises of three versatile models: The KingQuad 500 and 500XP, as well as the KingQuad 750XP (XP denotes independent suspension and power steering). These robust utility ATVs are the culmination of years of refinement and their high levels of technical specification and ease of handling give riders confidence on any terrain, making them suitable for several applications including hill and lowland farming, estate management and use on equestrian properties. Suzuki’s position as a top supplier of ATVs to the UK agricultural and land-management markets

continues to be strengthened by this security package and gives owners the peace of mind that everything is in place to deter theft and that it is also possible to track and recover their KingQuad ATV should it be stolen, the company explains. In addition to the security package, Suzuki is currently also offering a saving of 10% off the RRP of a new KingQuad when customers trade in their old ATV of any make or model (T&Cs apply). This offer is available until 31st December 2023. Suzuki GB head of ATV and marine, Mark Beeley, said: “We are proud to be part of the landscape for many farms and we are therefore pleased to be able to include these security features within the cost of our ATVs. A Suzuki KingQuad is an invaluable asset to a wide variety of businesses, particularly in the agricultural industry, so we understand the need to protect them as much as possible. We hope customers will see the new tracker and immobiliser system as another added benefit and an additional reason to choose Suzuki.” Customers can find out more by visiting the Suzuki stand at LAMMA or www.atv.suzuki.co.uk FG Stand number: Hall 7 Stand 436

Hot harvests, cool tech:

“Game-changing” crop storage solutions Crop storage specialist Martin Lishman Ltd is gearing up for LAMMA 2024, the UK’s largest agricultural event. This strategic timing aligns perfectly with the critical decision-making period for farmers, providing Martin Lishman with the ideal platform to showcase its latest developments in energy-saving grain cooling systems and agricultural innovations. The Barn Owl Wireless system enables users to remotely monitor crop store temperatures worldwide through any internet-enabled device. What sets it apart is the automatic fan control feature – a game-changer in energy efficiency, the company says. Utilising Martin Lishman’s wireless fan controllers, almost any cooling fan can be connected to the Barn Owl Wireless network and controlled automatically. In automatic mode, the system uses a choice of control programmes and only turns the fans on when it is most efficient to do so, which results in faster cooling and can save at least 40% on energy bills

in the process. “In its early years, Barn Owl Wireless systems were adopted mainly by large scale storage facilities,” explains Martin Lishman Ltd managing director, Joel Capper. “We have seen a significant increase in smaller scale farms now opting for a Barn Owl Wireless control system to take advantage of the fast efficient cooling and reduced energy costs. The modular design means the system can easily be tailored to any size store.” Martin Lishman will showcase its comprehensive line-up of crop cooling systems including the well-known Pile-Dry Pedestals and FloorVent Underfloor Ventilation System. Renowned for their unmatched airflow design, they can drive down temperatures quickly and efficiently making them the perfect cooling choice for new and existing crop stores, Joel says.

Company to launch 10 new products at LAMMA ‘24 For some, Whites Material Handling is a new name in the agricultural industry, but in reality, next year it will be celebrating its 100th year in business – and it has a range of new products heading to LAMMA 2024, as well as plans to overhaul the way attachment products are sold in the UK. Whites is one of the largest attachment manufacturers in the world, producing over 3,000 attachments per month from its five Bristol-based factories. It boasts some of manufacturing’s latest technologies too, including Robot Welding and Fibre Laser Cutting facilities – so why is it perceived by some to be the new kid on the block in the attachment market, the company asks. “Producing attachments for OEMs is at the core of our business,” says general manager Stuart Clark. “We work exceptionally closely with OEMs to produce product ranges which maximise machine schematics. So chances are, most farms and dealerships have had experience with something produced by Whites – just with another sticker on the side.” In recent years, and to complement this integral part of its business, Whites has begun forming an agricultural dealership network to sell and promote its own branded products – this aligns with its business strategy as a market leader in the construction sector. “We have appointed around 70 new UK agricultural dealerships in 2023 with dedicated trading areas to market the Whites brand. The response received from them and end users alike to the products has been fantastic,” adds Stuart.

New launches To provide its dealership network with a full range of products, the design team at Whites has worked tirelessly to produce a host of updated and new market leading attachments. 2023 has seen the launch of its new modular grain pusher, bag lifter, waste grapple bucket, extendable bale spike, wrapped bale handler, buckrake and grass fork ranges. This on the back of 2022’s market launch of shear grabs, work platforms, rehandling buckets, power grabs and bucket brushes. But the company isn’t slowing down, with LAMMA 2024 providing a platform to showcase even more new products. “We have new products launching for both agricultural and construction customers at the LAMMA show,” says front loader sales manager Dan Turberfield-Cross. “We have looked at what is already available in the market and asked how we can improve it – and I truly believe we have achieved that. We are now looking to drive the industry forward with new innovations and ideas.” LAMMA will see the first look at the company’s brand new ‘Katana’ Bale Slice, which will allow users to take wrapped bales out of a stack and cut them for feeding or loading wagons. The beauty is in the

unique bale wrap retention, meaning the operator doesn’t have to leave the cab for the wrap to be removed from the bale, Whites says. The company also has an innovative new ‘Bag-X’ bucket range which it is keeping under wraps until its debut at the show, as well as a new hydraulic thumb and flail cutter for excavators. In total, there are 10 new products for the 2024 show.

Whites’ new grain pusher.

Overhauling the attachment industry Along with a drive to offer the best service, aftermarket support and continuing to launch new and innovative products, Whites has set its sights on totally overhauling the UK attachment industry in terms of how products are sold. Whites states: “The universal concern we hear from dealers is that they don’t know what products to stock because there are so many variations in sizes and brackets with buckets and the like. We have taken a huge step to alleviate that concern by stocking products ourselves and offering a next day delivery service. Whites regularly stocks a mixture of over 200 AG-X attachments available for next day delivery, including work platforms, bucket brushes, buckets and shear grabs. Not to mention over 4,500 excavator buckets and couplers. “Times are getting tougher for businesses and we don’t want to be adding to that by forcing unwanted stock onto dealers,” says Dan. “We want to build long lasting relationships with our dealers and customers, so they can trust that a single attachment source is just a phone call away.” FG Stand number: Hall 6 Stand 320

press combination cultivator, but also can be worked as a tine/ press combination, with the discs adjusted out of work, Cousins said. The easy-to-operate hydraulic

adjustment on the disc sub frame allows the disc working depth to be increased or decreased on the move to allow the tines to work 150–300mm depth without discs or 150–400mm in combination with discs. The Patriot features rigid loosening tines set at 600mm centres, individually mounted disc units on rubber suspension and Razor Ring Packer for a firmed weather proofed finish. With over 70 years’ experience in the field, Cousins says it is well placed to help solve your cultivation problems in the field. There will be special show deals available at the LAMMA event and January is also the last chance to take advantage of Cousins’ finance deals across the range. Also on display will be a 3m Patriot, 4m Less Lift, 4m Crop Check, 4m Type 28 c/w double row razor rings, 4m Trailed Top Disc, 4m Less Lift, 4m Top Disc, 12.4m Contour HD HZ Cambridge Roll, 8.3m Contour HZ Cambridge Roll. Cousins is looking forward to welcoming customers old and new to its stand. FG Stand number: Hall 12 Stand 252

Manufacturer branches out into weighing and packing machinery Bradley Engineering has added a range of weighing and packing machinery to its portfolio, which includes palletisation and robotics products.

Bradley Engineering is well known for its agricultural automation products and is well established in the palletisation and robotics sector. Using its existing knowledge and some innovative developments it is now offering a complete range of weighing and packing items to complement its existing lineup. Back in November at the 2023 British Potato show, the company launched its new brand AgriPack, showcasing its new hybrid potato and root crop weigher, which is available in capacities from 5–50kg at speeds ranging from 480–600 packs per hour. The AgriPack range covers Bradley Engineering’s weighing and sealing machinery, suitable for a broad range of products from aggregates to potatoes and vegetables and can fill and seal paper sacks, cardboard and polystyrene boxes and cardboard or plastic trays. The AP480 hybrid weigher shown at the BP23 show is capable of 12 tonnes per hour with minimal giveaway. Innovations include a double swan neck conveyor system with scooped flights, designed to keep machine footprint as small as possible, to allow for those with tight space requirements to be able to upgrade their system.

It singulates top up belts for reduced giveaway and utilises a three-bucket system to minimise wastage and maximise output. That technology was taken from the development of the more traditional large form factor multi head available from November 2024.

Any combination of options can be put together to build a machine that’s right for you.

Bradley’s automated bag sewing equipment line-up has something suitable for every size and capacity grower, from the simplest flat belt stitcher utilising the smaller and more cost effective NP7A sewing machine, to V-track stitching lines with Verti-bag control and the high capacity DS9C from Newlong. Any combination of options can be put together to build a machine that’s right for you. You can speak to the team at LAMMA ‘24 where Bradley Engineering will be exhibiting with its industry partner Burdens Group. FG Stand number: Hall 8 Stand 424

Preview Shelbourne Reynolds Powerspread Pro side-discharge spreaders are now available with a weigh cell option.

Application accuracy boosted by new load cell option The Shelbourne Reynolds range of Powerspread Pro side-discharge manure spreaders is now available with a new weigh scale system. By ensuring operators know exactly what weight of material they have loaded, it helps them to gauge application rates far more accurately than would otherwise be possible. Developed from the system established on the Shelbourne

Reynolds Powermix diet feeders, the installation on the Powerspread machines consists of three 90mm load cells, with two on the axle and one on the drawbar, each with a maximum 10t load capacity. These feed data to a scale head which can

be mounted either on the spreader or in the tractor cab, while a wireless remote scale is also available for the machine loading the spreader. The weigh cell option is available across the six-model Powerspread Pro range, which is designed and

built for high-output operations, offering capacities from 8–14.5m³ (1,800–3,200 gallons). With fertiliser prices remaining high, and pressures growing on farmers and contractors to ensure manures are not overapplied to land, the option allows Powerspread Pro customers to maximise application accuracy and, at the same time, meet their environmental obligations, says Shelbourne Reynolds’ Neil Smith. “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. “In addition to single wheels and tyres, Powerspread Pro machines are also available with tandem axles and 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 to meet the challenges of wet autumns like the one we have just experienced.” FG Stand number: Hall 12 Stand 210

Back at LAMMA with versatility and productivity Reesink Agriculture returns to LAMMA once again in January 2024 with a host of models on display including Farmtrac compact and utility tractors that “deliver big on versatility and productivity”. The industry’s first all-electric tractor, the FT25G, will be joined by Farmtrac’s top seller for a compact performance, the FT26, with its cabin and loader combination, and the FT6050 with its new cabin – a heavy

hitter when it comes to productivity. As the UK’s premier agricultural machinery and technology show, LAMMA proves to be a key event in the calendar for Reesink Agriculture. Steven Haynes, tractor

sales manager for Reesink, says: “LAMMA has always been known for showcasing the latest cuttingedge agricultural machinery and equipment. With the FT25G, we’re part of that effort of introducing new sustainable technology to the industry, and the show is a great opportunity for farmers across a range of sectors to come and see that for themselves.” Farmtrac’s all-electric tractor is no stranger to the show, having launched at LAMMA back in 2020. Since then, the company says it has gone from strength to strength as electric-power continues to come to the forefront. Its lithium-ion battery gives businesses the opportunity to make a greener choice without compromising on productivity. The FT25G can perform for up to six hours in one session and with the ability to charge overnight via a domestic three-pin socket, it can be up and ready to go again in the morning. That’s not to mention it delivers zero emissions, minimal noise and vibration, high energy efficiency and low operating and maintenance costs. It’s a tractor visitors won’t want to miss out on

seeing in person. Joining the FT25G is the FT26 with its cabin and loader combination. A short turning radius and a light narrow body that’s highly manoeuvrable in tight spaces alongside a 750kg lift capacity at hitch point combine to make the FT26 the ideal choice for multiple applications including greenhouses, smallholdings, paddocks and orchards. The third addition to the 2024 LAMMA line-up from Farmtrac is the FT6050, representing the higher end of the horsepower range. Favoured for its fuel efficiency and durability, its 47hp three-cylinder Stage 5 diesel engine is designed to meet EU emission standards, which ensures clean emissions while delivering good levels of fuel economy and plenty of power. The heavy-duty rear three-point linkage with 1,500kg lift capacity features Cat1 and Cat2 ball ends that can accommodate a host of rearmounted attachments.

The ideal solution for round bale silage Tama’s continued focus on innovation brings a game changer for round baling, with the launch of EZ Web – a completely new type of baling product that gives a double benefit to makers of round bales. EZ Web addresses two major factors in round baling, with an eco-conscious reduction in plastic to bind the bale, while maintaining optimal output. The ability to dispose of the product together with wrapping film on silage, or by itself on dry crop bales, makes on-farm waste-plastic management easier, quicker and more cost effective. Used in the same way as Netwrap or NRF, EZ Web has the same strong bale-binding qualities to maintain bale density and shape and is suitable for use on all makes and models of round baler.

Chief technical officer, Reuven Hugi, responsible for Tama’s R&D department commented: “With plastic pollution continuing to be a global issue, combined with the complexities of net wrap recycling, our investment in this latest crop baling solution, preserves the excellent characteristics of our existing net products but allows for much easier closed-loop recycling, ensuring agricultural plastic stays where it belongs, on the farm and out of landfill.” As well as being fully recyclable,

future manufacturing development will see Tama shift to manufacturing using 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, which means 30% of EZ Web will be made from old, repurposed agricultural plastics. Speaking on the core benefits of EZ Web, European commercial director, Matthieu Defois was quick to point out that as well as being better for the environment, EZ Web is a product farmers have been asking for, for some time: “It has been many years since we have seen any significant developments in crop baling

Easily the most environmental way to bale...

products, particularly those that focus on environmental considerations. Everyone working in the crop baling industry needs to take accountability for ensuring single use plastics quickly become a thing of the past; we have a responsibility to create a more sustainable future for our farmers and our children. “EZ Web isn’t a net, or even a stretchfilm, it’s a completely new revolution in the crop baling world that answers the demand from farmers for a product that is easily recyclable, easy to clean and easy to remove. It’s the first step of many into a more sustainable farming future.” Round baling products manager Aviv Tron remarked: “With EZ Web, we at Tama managed to close the loop in round baling solutions. Something that was previously deemed unachievable for round baling solutions, due to the heavy soilage content. EZ Web is fully recyclable, by itself or with stretch film, and is produced with 30% recycled material – it makes me proud to be part of this round baling revolution.” For more information about EZ Web as well as the entire Tama range of crop baling products visit www.tama-uk.co.uk FG Stand number: Hall 12 Stand 324

Preview The new Jumbo 8450 with short-chop chopping system.

New short chop system means higher quality forage With the new short chop system, Pottinger’s expertise in loader wagons has taken another step further. The new Jumbo 8000 chops the forage almost 30% shorter – this means even higher forage quality without compromising on loading performance. The 8000 range consists of three models (without rear beaters) which boast DIN volumes of 40m3, 47m3 and 54m3. Protected to a torque of 3,500Nm and a power limit of 500hp, allows the loader wagon

to deliver high throughput rates. Thanks to the new drive concept, rotor and 65 knife chopping system, a theoretical chopped length of 25mm can be achieved. The knife bank conveniently swings out from under the wagon for easy access and the central knife release system is operated using a control panel to the side. Despite the relatively small knife

spacing of 25mm, it is still possible to use the Autocut automatic knife sharpening system. This saves diesel as well as time. Autocut guarantees the knives are always sharp during operation. The power requirement and the fuel consumption can be reduced by up to 20% as a result. The moveable front panel provides a significant increase in volume of 4.3m3 for the same

length of wagon. This makes the loader wagon a much more compact unit and manoeuvrable. The patented, intelligent front panel enables a unique loading and unloading strategy to optimise the loading process. As a result, the Jumbo 8000 can always make optimum use of the space inside the loading chamber. FG Stand number: Hall 6 Stand 310

High-capacity trailer and spreader developments The new short-chassis version of the flagship 24t-capacity SF24HS Plus Suffolk trailer cuts tipped height from 9.5m to 8.5m.

At LAMMA 2024, Richard Western is launching a new tandem axle version of its DS150HD/DS175HD Delilah rear-discharge manure spreader and updates across its trailer ranges, including an upgraded suspension system. The new tandem axle option for Delilah horizontal beater/ spinning disc manure spreaders is an alternative to the standard single axle with its large tractortype wheels and 580/70 R38 tyres. Aimed at high road mileage users, it provides a smoother ride at speed

on the tarmac, due to the spread of the load over two axles and because the tandem axle arrangement is suspended, with mono leaf springs partnering a sprung drawbar to cushion the spreader body from shock transfer created by potholes and road humps. The 560/60 R22.5

tyres also provide a combination of high load-carrying capability with good flotation characteristics and good road handling. Smaller wheels and tyres mean less braking effort is required, while braking four wheels rather than two boosts efficacy. The 420mm diameter/180mm-wide brake drums are designed to handle more than the load imposed by the spreader, which has the same unladen weight as a single-axle model with larger wheels and tyres. Among the upgrades to the full range of Richard Western Suffolk tipping trailers for 2024 are new running lights. Mounted along the side of the trailer, these cast a beam down onto the road or field surface, marking out the extremities and enhancing visibility and safety. Meanwhile, all Suffolk trailers of 15t capacity and above now feature an uprated suspension to enhance ride and stability. This sees the 76mm single springs previously fitted

replaced with new 100mm wide double-leaf parabolic springs with a suspension equaliser featuring outboard bushes. Also on the Richard Western stand will be a new short-chassis version of the flagship 24t-capacity SF24HS Plus Suffolk trailer, with height when tipped reduced from 9.5m to 8.5m. A smaller hydraulic cylinder size and a reduced tractor oil demand of only 56 litres are required to match. Other exhibits will include a BTTA16/28HS bale trailer with BPW air suspension, 560/60 R22.5 tyres and a rear steering axle, plus the Richard Western Safe Lock bale clamping system for quick and safe load securing from the tractor seat.

Replacement wearing parts supplier to launch latest press roll ring

Agricast will unveil its latest press roll ring at LAMMA 24. Agricast, which has been supplying Cambridge roll rings, disc blades, subsoiler wear parts and custommade packers for over 35 years, will use January’s event to launch its 560mm lightweight ring (PRR-560LW). The PRR-560-LW is the fourth product to feature in Agricast’s press roll ring range, which was introduced in 2018 and also includes the 610, 710 and 610-LW. Designed to work with the Simba

Mounted Xpress machine and retrofittable to other cultivators such as the McConnel Shaker, the new ring has a 560mm diameter, making it slightly larger than the original and is also slightly thicker to give the ring greater durability and longevity. “Our new 560mm lightweight ring completes our range of press roll rings,” says managing director William Robinson. “Our PRR 610 and 710s have been incredibly well received since they were introduced in 2018.

Since then, we have sold more than 150 tonnes of this style of ring and are only starting to see our first customers ordering replacement rings – that’s how well they’re made and how long they last! “The new 560mm lightweight ring, which will be on stand at LAMMA and is in stock now, has been developed in response to enquiries from people wanting us to complete our range, so we’re confident it will be a popular product.” William spent 18 months developing Agricast’s first two press roll rings, which fit Double Press and CultiPress packers. The Agricast PRRs are manufactured from heat-treated Boron steel, which, because they work more passively than a disc blade, will offer greater longevity than cast ring wheels. Like the previous version, Agricast’s PRR is a closed wheel, preventing stones from jamming in them, which can happen with cast rings. Agricast has also improved the design by adding small cutaways to the outer edge, which improves traction and the wheel’s ability to shatter or fissure hard, dry soil.

“As well as being around 30% cheaper than the original, Agricast’s Press Roll Ring offers greater durability, being 6mm thick rather than 5mm. With 20% more metal in these rings to start with, we are offering a longer-lasting product that will not wear through as quickly on the shoulders,” adds William. One farmer and large-scale contractor in South Yorkshire using a 5m Watkins Quad Till is pleased with how Agricast’s PRRs have performed: “In 2018, we fitted Agricast’s 610 PRRs instead of the original blades. The last set of OEM blades covered around 9,000–10,000 acres before we needed to replace them. The first set of Agricast PRR blades did around 12,000 acres, and the second set, which is on the machine now, is wearing equally well. Both sets have withstood impact damage from limestone far better than the OEM parts.” For more information about Agricast, its new PRR 560-LW and its wider range of wearing parts, please visit the company at LAMMA or head to www.agricast.net FG Stand number: Hall 20 Stand 320

A new longer and wider EDPU will be launched by Tramspread at LAMMA. The new Tramspread EDPU can be specified with UHF or GSM remote controls.

Safer, higher capacity pump units to make debut Slurry management specialist Tramspread will debut a range of uprated and improved engine driven pump units (EDPU) at LAMMA in January 2024.

The EDPUs feature a new chassis that is 200mm wider and 400mm longer than previous models. This will enable extra pipework and valves specified by users to be accommodated, and larger fuel tanks with capacity increased from 375 litres to 500 litres which will reduce the need for daily refilling. The trailed EDPU models also benefit from uprated sprung axles and larger 355/60 R18 tyres and

wheels. This makes the units safer when travelling at higher road speeds. A further new option of air or hydraulic brakes and LED lights on the class leading contractor units have been incorporated to improve safety for both operators and the public when the units are in transport. New, upgraded remote control systems offer further safety measures. Operators can choose from ultra high frequency (UHF) or GSM remote systems which feature improved screen graphics, repeater stations and automatic sponge launchers. Customers will be able to choose the colour of their pump unit and there are also changes beneath the surface, with new profiles and preformed brackets that will make assembly a simpler process regardless of whether Bauer, Doda, or Cri-man pumps are fitted. Visitors to LAMMA will find the new EDPUs and a range of Tramspread’s slurry handling equipment on the company’s stand. FG Stand number: Hall 12 Stand 350

Preview Sustainable and environmentally-friendly agricultural solutions Precision farming and drift reduction are two important issues when it comes to sustainable and environmentally-friendly agricultural solutions. Focusing on tackling grower challenges with innovative crop sprayers and cutting-edge technologies, Agrifac introduces the final piece of the Condor product range puzzle; the Condor Vanguard – which it says is ready for the future and compliant with all European regulations. With a tank capacity of 6,000 litres, a maximum vehicle width of 2.55m and a driving speed of up to 50kph, the Agrifac Condor Vanguard gives the market “exactly what it needs”, the company says. The Vanguard can be used flexibly thanks to a 75cm adjustable track width and

is available in two variants of track widths – 180–300cm. More high-quality yield is achieved more efficiently, due to the fast filling, fast cleaning technology and fast folding booms. Not forgetting the most stable boom, this machine with higher capacity is the basis for optimum coverage and minimal drift. Like all self-propelled sprayers available from Agrifac, the company says the Condor Vanguard is equipped with the most innovative and high-quality options, which “takes it into the Vanguard” of precision farming, specifically treating the crop at plant level. Discover the latest developments from Agrifac, including advancements in spot spraying solutions thanks to intelligent integrated artificial intelligence cameras, by visiting the team at LAMMA ‘24. Mounted directly on the boom, the ingenious camera system processes and analyses the crop instantly, without the need for offline and time-consuming processing; optimising precision and increasing efficiency for the operator. FG Stand number: Hall 9 Stand 350

Offering “the future of application technologies” Exhibiting at LAMMA 2024, Hardi will introduce the AEON CenturaLine with its in-house PWM technology – Hardi PulseSystem. Offering the ability to minimise environmental impacts by eliminating drift and preventing under and over-dosing, the Hardi PulseSystem is the future of application technologies, the company says, currently available on the conventional Delta Force boom on Aeon and Navigator, plus the Twin boom on Aeon. Together with the Twin boom configuration on the Hardi Aeon, which already has “best-in-class” drift reduction and penetration characteristics, the Danish inhouse manufactured pulse-width modulation technology, Hardi PulseSystem is an “essential additional step forward in controlling where pesticides are deposited directly from the driver’s seat”, according to Hardi.

Combining two innovative driftreducing technologies, Hardi has developed an application solution with the potential to deliver spray directly into the crop where the plant needs it, with the least amount of drift, improving efficiency and reducing costs for the grower. By opening and closing the nozzles, the Hardi PulseSystem can keep the nozzles open from 30–100% at the same pressure flow while ensuring the droplet size is unaffected, regardless of working speeds. In addition, the PulseSystem works with a single nozzle on/off – at a width of 36m, with control of all 72 nozzles at a single nozzle level. This can be done via a digital field map – and savings of up to 90% are possible by treating only the desired areas within the field, the company claims. Stand number: Hall 9 Stand 350

HARDI PulseSystem

With the ability to minimise the environmental impacts by reducing drift and preventing under/over-dosing, the HARDI PulseSystem is the future of crop application technologies. Together with the best-in-class drift reduction TWIN boom, the HARDI PulseSystem is an essential step forward in precision application control. By opening and closing the nozzles, the HARDI PulseSystem can maintain 30-100% consistent pressure while ensuring the droplet size is unaffected, irrespective of differing driving speeds. Drift is minimised while the flow rate is optimised, as the system enables maintenance of optimal droplet size regardless of speed, weather conditions, or during turns in the crop.

Preview Machinery Originally from Ireland, where the product was developed, Mr O’Sullivan said he had heard a lot about JM Agri Design from his friends back home. The service from the company has also been very positive, he added. “Joe is very nice to deal with, there’s no hassle with him. I got another two machines out there in the area for him because you don’t mind helping someone like that out.”

Double bale handler is “one of a kind”, contractor says

Key features of the TR range

Buckinghamshire farmer Michael McDermott bought the TR-8 bale handler at LAMMA 2023 to increase the speed of operation on the contracting side of the business. But the machine also offers a range of additional benefits – including making it “virtually impossible” to damage bales. Michael O’Sullivan, who runs the contracting business at Mansfield Farm in Iver Heath, said unloading bales in the yard was slowing down the process as they couldn’t get the trailers back quickly enough to reload. After learning more about the “unique” TR-8 bale handler from JM Agri Design at LAMMA 2023, Mr McDermott made the decision to purchase one there and then – and it’s doubled the business’s output. “It was the missing part of the operation we had,” said Mr O’Sullivan. The TR bale handling range was initially developed by engineer Joe Moynihan, to reduce bale damage on his own family farm in Ireland. Unlike other bale handlers, it uses a patented over-arm design which significantly reduces damage to plastic wrap on the bales and improves visibility. It also has much higher output than a conventional handler – increasing efficiency by

25–115% depending on the model – which has made the range attractive to contractors and farmers alike. Having proved highly popular in Ireland, the range officially became available UK-wide at LAMMA 2023. It consists of three models: The TR-3 single bale handler for tractor loaders, the TR-4 for loading shovels and telehandlers, and the flagship TR-8 machine, which is a double bale handler.

“No other machine like it” Mr O’Sullivan chose the TR-8 for its superior speed and output, and uses it with his JCB telehandler for both round and square bales. He believes: “It’s the only machine if you want to move bales fast”. Two friends of his who saw the machine in action have gone on to purchase the other models in the range, the TR-3 and TR-4. Based in Iver Heath, Mr O’Sullivan’s business does digestate

work, round and square bales and muck spreading, alongside the family beef farm. Seven months on from the TR-8 arriving on site, he estimates it has handled around 4,000 bales. Asked how it compares to more conventional bale handlers, he said: “It’s one of a kind, there’s no other bale handler on the market that can do two bales at a time. There’s a bit more thought into the design of it; it’s virtually impossible to damage a bale with it. I would go as far as to say it’s well ahead of its competitors in that respect.” Mr O’Sullivan added: “It’s very straightforward – there’s nothing complicated about it, it’s easy to use and everyone can drive it.” Additionally, while the machine has a very robust build, it’s still quite light and has an in-cab control box which allows each arm to be operated independently or in tandem – which he feels is a “brilliant feature”.

The TR range can comfortably put through 100,000+ bales without any issues, compared to 20,000– 30,000 with a conventional handler, which has been a “big winner” for contractor customers, Joe Moynihan said. The machines are able to grip round bales on the flat faces where there is more than double the plastic wrap. The range can also approach a round bale from any direction, unlike other bale handlers which can only be approached from one side. And it’s possible to switch from handling round to square bales of any size without any adjustments. The over-arm design additionally means it can grip bales at any angle. The arm supports two large rotating rollers to ensure bales are handled without risk of damaging the plastic wrap. These rollers, along with all other pivot points, have composite bushings and grease points fitted as standard. A check valve is also fitted as standard on all TR bale handlers to ensure a consistent grip is maintained on the bale, for safe transportation and minimum damage. Machines come with a full-year warranty and spare parts are stocked in the UK for next-day delivery. For more information or to order visit: www.jmagridesign.co.uk FG Stand number: Hall 9 Stand 456

Compact tractors and mowers form part of product showcase Iseki UK & Ireland will exhibit again at LAMMA 2024, showcasing a range of compact tractors, a collecting mower, remote control mower for slopes, an electric UTV and examples from the Muratori implements range. Compact tractors: Compact tractors offer more manoeuvrability in barns and sheds, alongside the power needed for scraping, plus the option of an air-conditioned cab. Iseki compact tractors offer Cat 1 or 2 three-point linkage and the TG6 range is ideal for negotiating around barns, Iseki says. The option of IQ

transmission offers “effortless control whilst scraping”. Meanwhile, the dual-clutch system allows finger-tip gear changes and an electronic shuttle ensures direction changes are just as easy. It comes standard with a loader joystick, headland management and draft controls plus LED work lights

front and rear. The TH5 range of hydrostatic tractors are powered by either a 35hp or a 40hp Iseki diesel engine. ROPS or an air-conditioned low-noise cab may be specified. Lift capacity is 1,200kg. Two-speed rear PTO is standard, and a 2,000 mid-PTO are standard. Cab models are supplied with a loaderready joystick. With an overall width of only 1.4m and a maximum height of 2.2m (cab model), the TH5 is well suited to tasks requiring a narrow tractor. The TLE tractors form the premium-economy range with simpler controls and features but the same quality build and reliability as other models. Powered by either a 40hp or 55hp Iseki diesel engine, the tractors are available with HST or mechanical transmissions and linkage capacities of up to 1,200kg. A TLE3410 HST will be exhibited at LAMMA with three-speed hydrostatic transmission, 1,000kg lift capacity, one auxiliary service and rear mounted remote PTO operation. It can be purchased with Turf or AG tyre as a no-cost option or alternatively a cost option of wide AG tyres is available. It has a spacious operator’s platform and good visibility. Mowers: The SF5 range comprises powerful out-front collecting mowers

with 42 or 49hp diesel engines. Available with rotary decks from 54–71in or a Muthing collecting flail, the SF5 features a turbine driven collection system and a 1,300-litre high-tipping collector which may be emptied at any height up to 2.2m. Meanwhile, the Raymo remote control mower allows grass on steep slopes or in difficult to access areas to be cut, while the operator controls the machine from a safe location. Powered by a hybrid power pack or a choice of lithium batteries, it can cut maintained or rougher grass on very steep slopes, or, thanks to its low height of only 51cm, under solar panels or other obstructions. Rotary decks are available in 42, 48 and 54in widths plus a 46in single or double action sickle mower – ideal for wildflower areas. The slide-out powerpacks allow for extended use. UTV: The Addax MT15x is an allelectric road-legal commercial vehicle with a capacity of 1t and a range of over 80 miles. It may be configured with a range of bodies, including a flatbed, tipper, cage-side tipper, cagesides with full height tool storage or a van box. Economical to run, it’s ideally suited to maintenance, cleaning, transport or delivery tasks. FG Stand number: Hall 12 Stand 240

Preview Machinery Tools to improve self-build drills on show Self-build drills and ways to cover more acres for every pound spent on wearing metal are two of the things that farmers have raised with Bourgault Tillage Tools UK (BTT) over the past year since LAMMA ‘23. BTT specialises in ground-

engaging products and systems. It all starts with a deep understanding of engineering, soils and crop establishment, explains the company. Many of the personnel that work in the foundry in Saskatchewan, Canada, where its products are made, are also farmers and use and test all the products that they design and make: “What you may call the perfect product test bed,” states BTT. This knowledge and experience is available for UK farmers to draw on and use for free. BTT’s VOS (versatile opener system), RTT (replaceable tip tines), Speed Loc quick change system, and Max Life Weldable Wear Strips are all products on show that can help farmers improve their existing drilling machines (Horsch, Weaving, Amazone, Sumo) or help when making their own drill whilst saving money by increasing wear rates. The company says it has many existing users who are happy to speak to new potential users at LAMMA about its products and how they are improving their businesses. FG Stand number: Hall 20 Stand 884

The VDR 900 tyre features stronger lugs, a larger contact patch for excellent traction, self-cleaning characteristics and delivers lower fuel consumption. The tyre benefits from steel belts which offer puncture protection and distributes uniform ground pressure to help lessen soil compaction and crop damage and is suitable for self-propelled sprayers, tractors with mounted sprayers, and tractors used for other inter-row operations. Ascenso offers an extensive and still growing range of tyres, including: • Tractor radial tyres, including 85 series, 70 series, 65 series, Rowcrop tyres and VF technology • Tractor crossply tyres • Implement tyres • Trailer flotation tyres • Plant and industrial tyres • Earthmover tyres • Material handling tyres, including forklift and port tyres

Offering a wide range of agricultural and farm tyres, Ascenso provides longlasting tyres specially designed for a variety of farming applications, keeping everything in mind including vehicle type, terrain, weather and user needs.

• Forestry tyres.

Ascenso’s exclusive mud breaker technology also ensures better selfcleaning and maximum traction, the company says. During the process of movement, vertical cleats on the lugs will behave like a lever to push the mud away and create an air channel to break the vacuum which helps in self-cleaning characteristics. The company also offers a competitive warranty on its tyres; the farm radial tyres come with a seven-year manufacturer warranty, while Bias tyres come with a fiveyear warranty. Visit www.ascensotyres.co.uk for more information about the Ascenso range. FG Stand number: Hall 6 Stand 330

High rainfall shows up poor drainage maintenance The heavy rains in the middle of October unfortunately caused flooding in many parts of the country – showing up where maintenance of ditches and water courses has been neglected in recent years, with roadside ditches being particularly noticeable. With less full-time farm staff and more acres to farm, ditch and drain maintenance can unfortunately become easily become less of a priority. For a drainage scheme to operate to its full potential, the outfalls need to be in good condition and have a suitable freeboard (the difference between the drain invert and the ditch bed). Drains which are hidden in the undergrowth need to be found, cleared and marked with a suitable marker post, making them easier to locate. If you don’t have time for these tasks yourself, then Miles Drainage (20) Ltd can complete this work for you. Spring is a good time to carry out drain jetting and ditching,

plus it is never too early to start planning your mole draining and deciding whether it is to be undertaken through the growing crop, or after harvest. Miles Drainage (20) Ltd says it has the experience and good availability to assist with all your requirements, ranging from drain maintenance during the winter months, to the design and installation of a new drainage scheme. Now is an ideal time to contact us and discuss your requirements, so that we can have a plan in place, for when ground conditions are suitable for works to be done. Based in East Anglia but operating nationwide, the company provides a GPS based

quality land drainage design, installation and maintenance service to agricultural, utility and sports field customers, as well as the installation of water supplies and irrigation mains. Miles Drainage (20) Ltd manufactures the Single Leg Mole

Plough as well as supplying spares and wearing parts. For further information or advice on any of the services offered by Miles Drainage (20) Ltd, visit milesdrainage.co.uk or visit the team at LAMMA. FG Stand number: Hall 12 Stand 250

New spreader and mechanical weeding solutions KRM (Keith Rennie Machinery Ltd) will be showing a new model of fertiliser spreader alongside an expanded range of mechanical weeding solutions at the LAMMA show. The new fertiliser spreader from KRM, the L15W, brings the benefits of weigh-cell technology to orchards, vineyards, the amenity sector, and smaller farms. It has been developed with the same parallel frame weighing system as all other weigh cell machines in the range. These machines are fully automatic and self-calibrating ‘on the move’, meaning that the spreader constantly adapts to the flow

characteristics of the fertiliser, ensuring that the target application rate is always achieved, KRM says. The new machine is fully GPS compatible, allowing variable rate application, auto on/off and section control. It can be delivered either with its own Totz control box or as an Isobus machine, ready to connect to the customer’s tractor. The L15W comes in two hopper widths: 1.25m and 2.10m, with capacities from 500–1,600 litres. The

narrower ‘Base’ hoppers are suited to vineyards and orchards, especially in combination with the two-row equipment, while the wider ‘Plus’ hopper machines suit smaller farms and amenity applications. KRM has also expanded its range of mechanical weeding solutions from Carré, with the addition of the Klinea, a mechanical inter-row hoe purely dedicated to cereals, and the new Kipline camera guidance system for SGI inter-row hoe models. The high-precision Klinea SGI hoe comes as standard with direct integration of the Kipline system for even greater compactness. The Klinea features parallel linkage mounted elements, guaranteeing a constant working depth over the whole width of the hoe. It includes two rows of comb harrows at the rear of the hoeing element for a “perfect finish” and to ensure that the roots of weeds are exposed on the soil surface. As an option, it can be ordered with hydraulic lifting elements and Isobus control for automatic management at headlands. The Klinea tines and plough shares have been designed to ensure that the surface of the soil

is scalped at a constant depth. An innovative joint system supporting the tines incorporates a non-stop spring safety system and enables efficient and precise adjustment of the plough share angle, important for penetration in tough conditions. The Kipline Camera and Weed Pilot control box aims to offer a camera that performs better where there is a high density of weeds and where work is carried out at narrow row spacings. A second Kipline Camera can be combined with the main camera to ensure that the hoe is properly guided in conditions of low emergence or irregularly shaped fields. LED lights extend the range of use in poor lighting or night-time conditions. The Kipline has high-definition optics and can analyse the entire colour spectrum for detecting the difference between crop rows and weeds. The Weed Pilot display is a touch sensitive screen that includes a realtime video display of the area being analysed by the camera. The operator can select standard settings for quick setup or individually adjust many settings to fine tune the system. FG Stand number: Hall 18 Stand 470

New high precision smart sprayer joins machinery range Burdens has introduced a new product to its Specialist Vegetable Machinery division – the Ecorobotix ARA high precision smart sprayer. The new machine (pictured) can deliver ultra-high precision spraying of herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, or liquid fertiliser, reducing plant protection products by up to 95%, Burdens says. The machine uses 156 adjustable spray nozzles in the 6m width of the machine to target plants or weeds at a speed of up to 7kph with the ability to cover 96ha in 24 hours. Spray accuracy is achieved by a vision system and AI technology which identifies the plants and the weeds. The machine is designed to deliver increased profitability through better crop yields and lower volume/costs of plant protection products, the company adds. The machine folds to 2.8m width for transport. Burdens Specialist Vegetable Machinery division is now two years old, and was formed by merging Burdens’ Horticultural and Goodacres businesses together into one

department. It is the importer of the Struik range of potato equipment which includes cultivators for bed preparation and toppers. Toppers are available in two, four, six and eight row configurations. These machines can be front or rear mounted or a combination of both – available as rigid machines with end tow kits or as fully hydraulic folding machines. Most machines in the UK have been supplied with ridge press wheels. The company is looking for more dealers for this equipment so get in touch directly if you are interested. Burdens continues to offer potato equipment from Tong Engineering, including the popular Caretaker grader, fitted with the Easyclean soil separator. Other Tong equipment supplied this year includes the Field Loader Pro and Midi Easyfill in potato format with the doorstop belt. It offers the reliable and high performing Swift Lift range

of elevators and conveyors manufactured by Terry Johnson Ltd, close to Burdens in Lincolnshire. Added this year is the range of robot palletisers from Bradley Engineering. These are available as single or twin pallet machines based on new or reconditioned robot arms, offering as much as 15 tonnes per

hour. These are one of the most costeffective stacking solutions on the market for small to medium growers. Options are selectable programme modes and systems to handle cartons or trays. Contact Burdens directly with any sales, services, or parts enquiries. FG Stand number: Hall 8 Stand 424

Manufacturer announces completed acquisition of synergetic business UK vegetable handling equipment manufacturer Tong Engineering has announced the completed acquisition of Terry Johnson Ltd based in Holbeach, Lincolnshire. The acquisition is strongly aligned with Tong Engineering’s growth aspirations and is a natural progression for both businesses, based on long-term synergies and a highly respectful relationship between the two.

Established in 1986 by founder Terry Johnson, Terry Johnson Ltd initially set up business selling the Todd sugar beet cleaner loader and the Bettison range of wheel equipment. By 1987, the company had employed the complete Johnson

family including Terry’s wife Betty, daughter Mandy and son Paul. In 1994, the company purchased both the factory and product range of the well-known Swift Lift range of elevators and conveyors. With a loyal workforce and family values at its core, the company behind Swift Lift handling equipment built a reputation for high quality mobile conveying and elevating equipment backed by excellent customer service. “Tong Engineering and Terry Johnson Ltd have a long history of working together,” says Tong Engineering managing director, Edward Tong. “We have always shared the same business values and my thanks go to the Johnson family for giving us the privilege of continuing their company’s legacy and products. We are excited to welcome the Terry Johnson Ltd team to the Tong family and look forward to building upon the company’s existing relationships with its customers and subcontract clients, as well as expanding the reach of Swift Lift equipment to new customers in the UK and overseas.” Edward Tong will assume the managing director role of both businesses and current finance director at Tong Engineering, Teresa

Morgan, will also expand her finance role across both businesses. Tong Engineering sales manager Richard Knighton will take his many years of industry experience across to the new acquisition and will head-up the commercial and product side of the business as general manager. Tong’s dedicated aftersales division, TongAssist, will also build upon the aftersales offering across the Swift Lift range. Of the acquisition, Paul Johnson says: “I am very pleased that we have been able to establish such a fitting future for our family business. I am confident Tong will provide great security and prospect for our employees and customers, and look forward to working closely with the Tong team to ensure a smooth transition and handover. I would very much like to thank our staff and customers for their loyalty and support over the years.” For more information on Tong Engineering and its range of advanced and efficient vegetable handling equipment, designed to maximise throughput and minimise labour requirements, visit www.tongengineering.com and www.terryjohnsonltd.co.uk FG Stand number: Hall 7 Stand 750

Preview New models added to range of irrigation solutions At LAMMA ’24, Briggs Irrigation will focus on new models from its range of irrigation solutions, including its new compact boom and the latest raingun. The R52 Compact has a structural width of 52m but can irrigate a width of up to 72m when fitted with sprinklers at either end. The new boom can be folded to just under 2.9m to ensure road transport is safe and straightforward. An optional ‘travel kit’ can be provided. The new Compact can be set up or folded for transport by just one person. A 500kg weight reduction compared with existing

models makes it even easier to handle and helps reduce ground compaction. In additional to the 52m model, 46m, 40m and 35m booms are available and a high level ‘elevation’ version for tall crops can also be supplied. The latest raingun avoids the risk of soaking passers-by, as well as areas not requiring irrigation, by incorporating a timer to change the irrigation angle after a set time interval. The Rotorkit has adjustable stops to define each irrigation sector and a multipleposition lever to work within different angles. Once these are set up the mechanical timer controls the length of time angled irrigation is used before it reverts to the traditional spray area. The mechanical system can be fitted to any gun trolley on any brand of hosereel machine. The company will also be exhibiting examples from its extensive range of pumps, hosereels and ancillary irrigation equipment. FG Stand number: Hall 6 Stand 720

Four British sprayer models to look out for British sprayer manufacturer Team Sprayers will be at LAMMA 2024 with a selection of its trailed and mounted models, including the Leader 4, Arian 2, Demount LT and Alpha sprayers. The Leader 4 sprayer is part of Team’s trailed range and features boom widths from 24–36m and tank sizes up to 5,000 litres. The Leader 4 has a low-folding boom design which, along with the profiled tank gives the sprayer a low centre of gravity and maximises machine stability. The Arian 2 is the largest mounted sprayer in Team’s range, featuring rotationally moulded plastic tanks with capacities up to 1,800-litres and a two-stage control valve operation system designed to minimise wastage and optimise sprayer functions. Boom stability is a

key feature for all models especially the Arian 2 which is available with boom widths up to 27m. Team’s robust Demount LT sprayer has been designed to fit directly onto the back of any utility vehicle and is perfect for smaller, targeted spray work. The list of optional extras makes the unit versatile enough to cope with any grassland or headland spraying situation, the company says. The Alpha mounted sprayer will also be on the stand. Team managing director Danny Hubbard said: “As with all our sprayers, these models have been designed to be robust yet simple to use and we look forward to demonstrating the breadth of our range at LAMMA 2024.” FG Stand number: Hall 9 Stand 510

The Arian 2 Mounted Sprayer Effective, Accurate Controlled.

The new Arian 2 Sprayer comes in 1200L, 1600L and 1800L tank sizes.

The boom is very compact when folded away, which is great for us as we move around a lot between farms. It’s brilliant in the field and very easy to operate. I have been really pleased with it and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

Preview New seeding boom and updates announced

Pork provider supports diversification farm projects BQP, part of Pilgrim’s UK, is Britain’s largest provider of higher welfare pork. The company points out it is renowned for supporting new builds as diversification projects on farms, and farmers may be unaware that it also works on the conversion of existing farm buildings. As part of the process, the farm and its buildings are assessed by its experienced staff, and a building and finance plan is drawn up complete with a six-year cash flow. The design is done so the farm can achieve maximum performance over the life of the piggery. BQP also asks that the farmer and all involved in the build visit one of its local farming partners to learn about the company and the work involved. If the farmer feels that the cash flow supports the ROI, a

six-year agreement is drawn up, which includes a financial support package for the building conversion. The farmer supplies the building, labour, water and bedding. BQP supplies the pigs, feed, veterinary meds and advice, utilising one of the UK’s field support teams with over 100 years combined experience. Many of its farming partners have worked with BQP for up to 40 years. This stability has ensured that farmers’ businesses grow alongside the company. Mark Jagger and the BQP team will be at LAMMA this year to discuss how they have supported new and existing pig farmers over this time. FG Stand number: Hall 7 Stand 944

Einbock now offers a new seeding boom for the P-Box Seeder Box series. Serving as an additional solution to the fixed, rear mounted seeders, this front- or rear-mounted implement can be used for fertilisation, cover cropping, overseeding grass and the application of underseeds. This seeding drill can be combined with various tools such as row crop cultivators, tined weeders, cultivators and more, says importer Terrington Machinery Ltd. Einbock has also designed the Smart-Grip quick adjustment for Chopstar-Twin and Chopstar-Verso. The cutting discs and angle knives are mounted on a holder and adjusted simultaneously by opening and closing. A special four-fold clamp ensures a secure hold even under extreme conditions. The Smart-Grip system brings “extreme time saving” and quick adaption of the row-crop cultivator to various conditions. Meanwhile the Smart-Control system is designed to regulate the

settings of the premium AerostarFusion, such as tine aggressiveness, and automatically adapt to changing ground conditions within the field. Each weeding section can be tined with varying tine pressure, with a consistent working depth over the entire working width. The system automatically handles adjustments several times per second, resulting in even more precise and higher operational efficiency. All aggressiveness settings and machine folding are performed through an Isobus terminal. The system also paves the way for future section-control weeding. The SmartControl will be available in autumn 2024. FG Stand number: Hall 19 Stand 150

New premises for crop storage engineering business Farm Electronics’ exciting relocation to The Mallard Business Park, Grantham marks a significant leap forward for the company. The move promises a myriad of benefits, positioning the company strategically for growth and innovation for the future. The improved facilities including a new state-of-the-art paint application station offer a dynamic environment for Farm Electronics to thrive, fostering quality improvements and efficiency. This relocation underscores Farm Electronics commitment to progress and customer satisfaction, the company says. The proximity to other businesses within the park opens

doors to potential partnerships and synergies, amplifying the company’s impact. Furthermore, the site’s accessibility and size contribute to an enhanced working environment, elevating the employees’ experience. Moreover, the move resonates with the broader vision of the company as many new developments relating to crop storage equipment and being at the backbone of crop storage in the UK. As Farm Electronics sets up shop in The Mallard Business Park, the ripple effects will undoubtedly be felt, showcasing the company’s dedication to both its own success, its employees and customers alike.

Increasingly, many farmers are looking for alternative methods of controlling weeds in cereal crops due to higher prices of agrochemicals and weed resistance. Tined weeding is becoming a recognised method of dealing with weed pressure in autumn and spring sown cereal crops, but timings and growth stages of the crop are all important to producing an effective result. Correct and optimal adjustment of the tined weeder is vital to avoid excess damage to the sown crop and effectively removing the weed seedlings. At LAMMA 2024, Bullock Tillage will be launching its new 12m wide tined weeder called ’the Weed Star’. The Weed Star comes with six rows of 7mm tines which can be hydraulically adjusted for angle and pressure depending on soil

conditions and growth stage of the crop. With four leading depth wheels and four at the rear, optimum depth and pressure control can be maintained across the full working width of the machine. Mechanical weeding in the spring should be carried out as soon as the land will travel and the plant is strong enough. The tines should be set with light pressure applied. Two more passes with the harrow may be possible until the cereal rows are covered and with each pass the tines should operate more aggressively. The tined weeder will also encourage aeration of the soil and tillering of the crop. Tined weeding should be used in conjunction with chemical control unless the crop is being grown organically.

Bringing a direct approach to grassland rejuvenation Campey Agriculture has become synonymous with grassland rejuvenation, with machines from Vredo, Imants, Evers and Goweil showing why they lead the field at LAMMA 2024, says the company. The full process of precision grassland establishment demonstrated by seeders will be on show. A proven germination rate of 96% using the unique Crop Drill System and the ability to overseed grass and arable land make this range popular. Soil preparation is crucial for successful grassland and harvests, and the Imants range of spaders removes the need to handpick debris from the soil after harvest and as well as the need for subsoiling. The Spader reaches depths similar to a subsoiler whilst bringing fresh earth to the surface and incorporating it.

The working depth also means it can operate in dry conditions and break up dry slabs of soil. Even with a healthy establishment of grass, compaction through grazing and heavy machinery use can lead to flooding and ultimately poor grass growth. Campey Agriculture offers Evers grassland maintenance products to combat this, including the GPG range of spring tine harrows. These harrows activate the soil, break up and disperse lumps of slurry and muck, and stimulate new grass growth. The process of transporting, wrapping and loading palletised turf rolls or other goods has been made simple with the Goweil G100 Pallett Wrapper. The all-in-one system automates the wrapping process, facilitates multiple fork attachments and prioritises efficiency. FG Stand number: Hall 6 Stand 500

The Imants spaders achieve a higher efficiency and a higher yield per acre with less passes for all soil types.

Tried and tested technology, grass seed is delivered precisely with 2 sharp discs that cut a V-shaped slit in the ground.

Innovative agricultural solutions for soil preservation Fentech Agri offers innovative agricultural solutions for soil preservation as well as time and cost efficiencies. The range of products includes direct drills, min till cultivators, subsoilers, straw and weed management tools, and more. Fentech Agri incorporates Simtech UK, Tillso Technology and Fentech Ltd products under one name. Simtech drills are ideal for minimising soil disturbance and preserving its fertility, the company says. Using T-slot technology you can create a “perfect” seedbed for both germination and establishment. The product range includes mechanical, pneumatic and grass drills. Fentech Agri has recently introduced a new Simtech TS 6004A which is ideal for customers who want to run lighter tractors with a better balance for both traction and hp reduction. A range of rear frames is available to suit requirements. The TS 600 4A is a 6m wide drill

frame running 32 coulters. It utilises four tool bars for more front to back spread of the tines to improve trash flow through the frame – particularly useful in cover crops or drilling into thicker stubbles and straw mats. This year at LAMMA you will get a chance to see the newest addition to the company’s Simtech direct drill range, the new lightweight folding TS – 480 LP (pictured). Available as 4.8 or 6m, the machine is lightweight, making it ideal for smaller tractors.

New lightweight, wider trailing shoes

Boosted by the success of its entry level 7.5m Farmline Trailing Shoe, slurry equipment specialist SlurryKat has launched wider models up to 10.5m. And, staying with all the core SlurryKat manufacturing principles, these new models are also built to be strong with the best steel, yet staying lightweight to reduce soil compaction. SlurryKat CEO, Garth Cairns, said:

“We launched the 7.5m Farmline Trailing Shoe in 2018, and it has been a huge success. “However, as slurry tankers have become larger, we have experienced huge demand for wider models.”

The new 9m and 10.5m wider models incorporate many of the features of the previous models, including the lightweight design, but also some new upgrades. Garth added: “These are the lightest trailing shoes on the market. While the 7.5m model weighed in at 490kg, the new 9m model is 600kg and the 10.5m model is 636kg. Both the new models exhibit unique inverted booms in the transport position. “The extra width for the new models was achieved by adding a novel flip-over end section on the side arms, which is operated by a hydraulic cylinder. This is easy and straightforward for the operator to use. “The transport height, which is the lowest on the market, on the new wider models stays the same as with the 7.5m model. Also, they now have flip-up shoes on the beam with hydraulic cylinder as standard, which was not a feature on the 7.5m model. “With flip-up shoes on the central and outer sections, this makes it easier for the operator to make headland turns. Also, the machine does not need to be folded up to reverse, all the operator has to do is flip up the shoes, carry out the manoeuvre, then drop

the shoes and work away,” he said. The new Farmline models use the SlurryKat ventilated macerator distributor head with a V36 head on the 9m model and a V42 head on the 10.5m version. This unique system delivers equal slurry distribution from every shoe along the boom which competitor products can’t deliver. Spacing of the shoes on the new models is the SlurryKat standard 250mm, which is proven to be the optimum width for the uptake of the nutrients in the slurry by the crop. All models are fully galvanised and fitted with new Italian manufactured UV resistant flexible hoses. SlurryKat says its main focus with the new Farmline Trailing Shoes was to keep the machines lightweight, which is an advantage working in all soil conditions. These new Farmline Trailing Shoes work in conjunction with SlurryKat’s Premium Plus range, which is also undergoing some updates. To help you spread further, SlurryKat is also launching the new 1,400m Front Reeler. This is the highest capacity Front Reeler from SlurryKat which also has a new drive system to protect the motors, increasing durability. FG Stand number: Hall 20 Stand 250

As the end of 2023 looms we have seen extreme price movements in the dairy price. As the milk price has dropped, the pressure on dealing with the winter waste intensifies, says PFC. For many farms, the 4–6-month storage requirements are not being met. If the NVZ rules are pushed countrywide, are you ready for six months of storage? PFC offers the Serena pillow bags to bridge the gap. These are also extremely economical with today’s farm gate prices in mind, PFC says. The bag will handle slurry from straw, paper and sawdust bedding, with sand being the only option not suitable. There is no crusting during storage so mixing

before using the product is not required. For longer term storage over three months, there may be some settling of the product so PFC recommends mixing the bag every three months. The bag comes with two 6in outlets as standard, with additional fittings to suit your needs and also the option to stir the bag. The easiest way to stir the bag is to have an outlet on each of the front corners and use an umbilical pump to suck out and pump directly back in to circulate the bag. Why wait until your current storage is about to overflow, causing damage and possible fines? FG

Unveiling upgrades to trailed sprayers at LAMMA ‘24 Chafer is set to revolutionise its 2024 trailed sprayer lineup, unveiling significant enhancements to the Guardian and Sentry models. Central to these updates is the introduction of the ePlumbing RinsePro system, an evolution of the existing setup, now integrating a 120-litres/m piston diaphragm pump alongside the proven 1,100-litres/m centrifugal pump. This innovative system provides precise control over rinse water, minimising contamination risks and enabling

concurrent filling of main and rinse tanks. The induction hopper receives a continuous supply of clean water during operation, streamlining spray can cleaning and ensuring operator safety. The addition of a secondary pump facilitates optimal priming of the main spray pump, ensuring seamless functionality even when

the machine is fully drained. Chafer has also upgraded its eControl system, now fully compatible with Isobus terminals, eliminating the need for a separate touch screen and reducing in-cab clutter. Furthermore, new trailed sprayers will offer Hypro Prostop-E Individual Nozzle Control across all boom sizes, in single and twin line

setups. These systems promise rapid on/off times, Isobus compatibility, and enhanced auto line switching. Additional enhancements include increased compressed air volume to optimise features like AirPurge and Central Tyre Inflation. The redesigned front bulkhead creates more space around the tractor, simplifying tractor mudguard installation. Overall layout changes aim to enhance diagnostic and maintenance access, aiding the dealer network in supporting Chafer’s trailed sprayers. “We are thrilled to introduce these updates to our Guardian and Sentry trailed sprayers for 2024,” said Chafer managing director, Rob Starkey. “These enhancements reflect our commitment to innovation and responding to the evolving needs of our customers.” The machine will be shown for the first time at LAMMA 2024, with a new Sentry model on display on Chafer’s stand. These advancements are scheduled for release in mid2024, marking a significant leap forward in precision agriculture technology.

Spotlight on scalable packaging line for on-farm packing

UK designer and installer of automated packing lines, Pace Mechanical Handling, will use LAMMA ‘24 to showcase its new scalable packing line for on-farm packing. Designed to overcome labour shortages, the Stella Evolution features an Electra weigher capable of handling 10 tonnes per hour; an In-bag Weigher designed to fill 10–25kg potato sacks; an auto

sack placer and presenter, and a complete bag control system feeding a heavy-duty Smitsen DS9C sewing head. As well as exceptional build quality and reliability, the Stellar

Evolution line features one of Pace’s latest innovations: a single bag clamp that automatically adjusts to the size of the bag being presented, removing the need for a second bag clamp and eliminating the change over time found on other systems. “Over the last 18 months, we have seen a rise in enquiries from smaller growers and on-farm packers struggling to operate efficiently given the labour situation,” says Nick Cesare, Pace’s managing director. “We developed a new line for Olly Palmer, a potato packer in Suffolk, and he was so impressed with the performance, efficiency and price point that we’ve decided to offer it as a complete solution. The beauty of the Stella Evolution system is that it is scaleable, so we can increase or reduce its capacity and features to suit each grower’s needs, hence its name, which is the process by which a star changes over the course of time.” O Palmer Ltd supplies Babylon chipping potatoes in 25kg sacks for use by fish and chip shops across

the country. “The new line, which we started using in September, is the third time we’ve worked with Pace,” says Olly. “Over the years, we have been really impressed with the speed, reliability and efficiency of Pace’s lines and have only upgraded the line when the technology has moved on significantly. The latest line is the best yet. It is really well made, accurate and more than capable of running at 15t/hour. We don’t have a large team here, so having the Pace Stella Evolution makes a real difference. My uncle, Steven Sizer, is also involved in potato packing and is using our old Pace line, which still has lots of life left in it!” In addition to being scaleable and customisable, the Stella Evolution system comes with a five-year warranty on parts and free online service management for the duration of ownership.

Safe solutions to persistent dirt on roads Persistent dirt such as solidified mud, grain, or rubber marks can be a risk on public roads, as well as on construction sites, in gravel pits or biogas plants. The Bema scraper unit, by manufacturer Bema GmbH, can easily scrape coarse and stubborn dirt off the roads to prevent road closures and even accidents, the company says, while using the machine in combination with the high-pressure water unit can achieve an even more thorough clean. The Scraper unit can be installed on Bema 75 Dual, Bema 35 Dual and Bema 30 Dual. It is mounted

instead of the collection hopper and controlled by hydraulic cylinders. Meanwhile, the water unit can be installed on the rear of the tractor. It has a 4,000-litre storage tank and pump with operating pressure of 120 Bar/50 Bar. The spray bar on the sweeper is equipped with up to 11 high pressure nozzles, depending on the width of the machine. Visit www. bemasweepers.co.uk for more information.

Beans sown with JJ Metcalfe 12mm winged points.

Reducing soil movement Still pursuing the quest to reduce the amount of soil being moved during cultivation, J.J. Metcalfe & Son Ltd has developed a 125mm (5in) spreader point to fit into its range of direct drill holders. This point has a redesigned wing system and base plate which creates tilth, mineralisation, and drainage. The band width is slightly stronger seed distribution at the outside of the band to help increase light and airflow in the crop. Managing director Mike Metcalfe explains that the soil flow over the wings takes out surface compaction at the drilling depth, but also leaves the field level, the front of the point breaks the soil slightly underneath

the sowing depth to help improve drainage. The system was originally designed to provide conversion of the Horsch CO and Sprinter series drills to a no-till system, but J.J. Metcalfe & Son has now adapted the range to convert other makes of drill. Conversion of many drills is also possible with the J.J. Metcalfe & Son bracket approach, so enabling the construction of a self-build machine. If you would like to talk to the J.J. Metcalfe & Son team about the benefits of low disturbance drilling, please give them a call or visit the company’s stand at LAMMA 2024. FG Stand number: Hall 18 Stand 430

Agri tracks range heads to LAMMA Leach Lewis Rubber Tracks is now an established supplier in the agricultural track market following more than a decade supplying the construction market. In the last three years, the company has started to supply the Vulcan Agri range of tracks for farming equipment, and the agricultural range covers 36 different track sizes from 6–36in, suitable for a range of tractors and combine harvesters from manufacturers such as Fendt, Case, New Holland, John Deere and Claas. Each track is made specific to the make and model of machine, with friction and positive drive style units available. Unlike some makes of track where the tread and guide lugs are added to the carcass, each of the tracks supplied by Leach Lewis

undergo a one-piece vulcanisation process to increase durability. The company says its Vulcan Agri range represents one of the strongest, heavy-duty track makes on the market, reflected by the 18-month warranty offered across the range. Whilst discussions are in place for Leach Lewis to supply the UK and European arms of various manufacturers, it has the versatility of selling to end users. Its supplier doesn’t manufacture for OEMs at a global level, so it hasn’t seen the supply issues that a lot of track suppliers have. It has a maximum lead time of just three months, often shorter than that, and keeps stock levels in the UK and Europe high. FG Stand number: Hall 9 Stand 400

New Narrow range joins spreaders G T Bunning & Sons will launch a new spreader range at LAMMA ’24, suited to users seeking accurate, lower application rates of dense products such as lime as well as FYM, chicken manure and compost. The new Bunning Lowlander 120 Compact Narrow HBD spreader will be on the stand and is part of Bunning’s new Lowlander Narrow range. The four new models – Lowlander 120, 120 (Compact), 150 and 150 (Compact) – feature narrower bodies to achieve lower application rates whilst retaining the two 1,100mm spinning discs as standard on HBD machines. The Narrow spreaders allow lower application rates to be applied due to a narrower aperture. The Narrow range retains the high build quality associated with Bunning spreaders and features

a 1,250mm-wide body compared with the 1,500mm body on standard HBD machines. Especially suited to applying heavy products, a larger floor drive gearbox, increasing torque from 5,000Nm to 8,000Nm, and larger motors on the gearbox to increase torque at low floor speeds have also been added to the range. To improve product transfer to the discs, the spreaders feature additional floor slats on every other horizontal chain link on the moving floor – standard HBD spreaders feature a floor slat on every third horizontal link. Running wider flotation tyres is a popular factory upgrade and the new range can be fitted with wider 800/70 R38 tyres to reduce compaction and remain under 3m wide. FG Stand number: Hall 6 Stand 730

At LAMMA ‘24, Knight Farm Machinery will be introducing a new entry-level sprayer range, a restyled self-propelled line and a new tillage equipment offering, alongside developments for the technology incorporated into its existing Knight sprayers. Designed for smaller farms and those seeking simpler sprayers, the new Knight Red Line mounted sprayers span 600–1,500-litre capacities and 12–28m boom widths. All incorporate Knight’s MAXImizer E fluid control system. The new range is sourced from Belgian manufacturer Beyne. The 12–18m/600–1,000litre PA range features manual boom-folding and a simple switch box to control pressure and boom switching, suiting businesses running smaller farm/ groundcare tractors and UTVs. The 18–21m/600–1,000-litre PLS range, meanwhile, has hydraulicfolding booms with suspension and, if required, a more advanced controller. Further up the scale are two Gecko model sprayer versions; the PLK (21–28m side-folding/1,500-

litre) and the RF (18-28m rearfolding/1,800-litre). A basic control switch box is standard, as is Knight’s MAXImizer-E fluid control, with the Spraymat 2 controller, Isobus, auto-boom height sensing and rate control all optional. Details will also be available of the latest updates to the Knight self-propelled sprayer line, with a 28m 2450 model set to be on the stand. New features include MAXImizer Pro, the latest Knight circulation technology, with boom pipework cut by 20%, significantly reducing retained volume. Other upgrades include improved boom height control software, a broader tyre offering, enhanced Isobus autosteering and a lower boom park position. FG Stand number: Hall 6 Stand 620

Helping livestock farmers maximise productivity for over 50 years Lucas G offers products aimed at maximising productivity on livestock farms. Originating from the heart of the French livestock region, Lucas G brings over 50 years of manufacturing expertise and know-how to UK farms through its comprehensive range of feeding and bedding machinery. Its range includes bale unrollers, silage feeders, straw spreaders and trailed, as well as self-propelled diet feeders. One of the most popular models in the UK is the Castor +R silage feeder and straw blower. Available from 2–18m³ capacity with single, twin, or triple rotors these machines have become an essential component to managing housed livestock on any size of farm. Recently the incab electronic controller has been upgraded with an ergonomic joystick for operating the 270-degree swivel chute and a range-selector for the

floor speed giving the operator effortless control when bedding or feeding silage. The larger triple rotor machines are unrivalled in their performance when it comes to high-capacity processing of straw or silage. Higher capacity machines increase farm productivity by enabling more material to be processed in a shorter amount of time and often with lower fuel consumption and less wear and tear in comparison to using a smaller capacity machine for the equivalent size herd of animals. Lucas G also offers a range of vertical auger diet feeders ranging from 8–42m³ capacity available with several distribution options including trap doors, conveyors, or a front-mounted blower system. Both product ranges will be on display at LAMMA. FG Stand number: Hall 6 Stand 336

Mowers and low emission slurry application systems at LAMMA ‘24 Major Equipment is returning to LAMMA this year and launching a hedge cutter head, which it says has the power and performance to tackle the most vigorous jobs. The MJ39 hedge cutter head produces a clean finish on hedgerows, shrubs and verges at fast forward speeds thanks to the impressive ‘blenderstyle’ mulching capabilities of the rotary head. The gearbox driveline powers twin rotors and eight overlapping blades to deliver a tidy finish when thinning material or clearing dense brush, all in one pass. The hydraulic motor is fitted with an overrun clutch. The 1.43m heavy duty deck really shines turning overgrown hedges and scrubby areas into manageable structures for landscape control, the company says.

The Major hedge cutter “outperforms flail head systems in both productivity and maintenance”, the manufacturer says. With less wearing parts, the MJ39 is a durable and reliable attachment for contractors, councils and operators demanding minimal downtime and total cost of ownership. The MJ39-143 has a universal connection for simple and quick attachment to most power arms. The MJ39-143D has larger gearboxes and fits booms on diggers in the 10–14t range. Visit the Major stand to see the new hedge cutter head, low emissions slurry applicators and the Cyclone agricultural mowers at LAMMA in the NEC Birmingham from 17–18th January 2024.

Look out for new straw-spreading option Spread-a-Bale is launching a new option to its M range of straw spreading machines at LAMMA 2024. Called the ST (Side Throw), the header avails side discharge of straw either to the left or right or forwards, and can be fitted to any Spread-aBale model – Micro, Mini, Midi or Maxi, mounted on narrow front-end materials handler models up to 2m wide. The header which has been specifically designed for buildings with narrow access doors and passageways from 2m wide, features one vertical rotor offering a longitudinal spread pattern of 1m wide and up to 7m throw. Left or right-hand side or front discharge is facilitated by the turn of a valve and canopy. Spread-a-Bale’s Michael Hughes

Slurry separator to be on show Agricultural manufacturer Vogelsang is showcasing its XSplit slurry separator at this year’s LAMMA in January. Visitors to the show will see for themselves the XSplit in a variety of configurations, including the Lift Frame Pro, a hydraulic elevated frame on a moveable flatbed trailer. The XSplit comprises a screw press slurry separator that can achieve a dry matter content of up to 40%, making it perfect for cattle bedding. The liquid manure can then easily be spread to land. The XSplit is designed and engineered to be both economical to run and easy to maintain. The drive is arranged on the solid matter outlet side, which gives the XSplit an excellent cost-benefit ratio and no need for an extra shaft seal.

This reduces both the cost of spare parts and the time required for maintenance work. The sealing disc in the pressing area ensures optimal resistance to the pressure applied by the press screw, ensures uniform and reliable plug formation without extra aids – with nearly zero leakage. A range of sieve variants suited to various consistencies is available, guaranteeing extremely reliable separation results. Visitors to the stand will also have the opportunity to enter Vogelsang’s competition to celebrate 20 years of trading in the UK. Prizes and competition details will be announced closer to the event date. FG Stand number: Hall 12 Stand 230

explains: “The ST’s design and development was led by farmers themselves expressing interest in a Spread-a-Bale machine, however their livestock accommodation’s doors and passageways were too narrow for our existing M range models. “The ST subsequently solves the problem for all farmers with access points measuring from 2m wide who are seeking to mechanise straw spreading without the dust generated by a turbine chopper machine whilst saving up to 75% labour and up to 50% straw over manual spreading and themselves remaining safe outside the pen.” The ST is available from Spread-aBale’s dealer network – you can find details at www.spread-a-bale.com Stand number: Hall 20 Stand 490

• No chopping, saves straw and lowers dust levels • Spreads any bale in under one minute • Self-loading, requires only one tractor / loader • Improves both efficiency and profitability

Preview Machinery Kverneland mechanical weeders include the Onyx for maize, sugar beet and vegetable crops, and the Helios rotary hoe for cereal crops.

Mechanical weeders complement existing crop care products Kverneland’s return to the LAMMA show brings with it a wider product range, including a range of inter-row cultivators, rotary hoes, guidance interfaces and tine harrows that complement its existing crop care products. Models include the Helios starwheel equipped rotary hoe for cereal crops, and the Onyx tined hoe for maize, sugar beet and vegetable crops. The Onyx can be equipped with the Lynx guidance interface for

enhanced precision. With up to two, forward-facing colour scanning cameras, Onyx can achieve active side-shift to keep the hoe positively steered, maintaining its position between the rows, even at

high forward speeds. Kverneland product manager Adam Burt says the range creates a practical solution for customers faced with increasing agronomic challenges and weed pressures.

“Our weeders provide alternative solutions for growers exploring all aspects of cultural control, across a wide range of scenarios,” says Adam. “And with proven camera and control panel technology provided by Tillet and Hague, we’re confident of the reliability and accuracy of this new range.” Kverneland’s Onyx is available with a working width of 3–12m, and can be equipped with a variety of weeding solutions including bolt-on 150mm and 220mm Duck foot shares and a range of flat A-shares from 120mm to 240mm. Each inter-row weeding assembly can be equipped with section control, with automatic raise and lower available through Isobus control. Kverneland’s Helios rotary hoe has a 6m working width and a hydraulic folding frame. It uses pairs of cast iron star wheels, with downward pressure for each pair adjusted through hydraulic pressure. This creates fine control to suit the field surface and a crop’s growth stage, to carry out shallow weeding through the top 10mm of soil. FG Stand number: Hall 11 Stand 260

Preview Benefits of professional engine remapping highlighted at LAMMA

New updates to drill range Dale Drills has announced its MTD (Mounted Tine Drill) is now available with a split tank, allowing any two different seeds/products to be sown and offering farmers a lot of versatility. Tines are fitted with a narrow coulter which blends the two products as they enter the soil. The 1,500-litre hopper is split 50:50 and is fitted with two accord seed metering units, controlled via an RDS Isocan control system. It’s available in working widths from 3–8m, with the choice of 12.5, 16.6, 18.75, 20 or 25cm row spacing. Dale Drills’ flagship Eco Drill range has also received updates. A rubber, semi pneumatic press wheel from Otico, fitted in place of

the standard steel press wheel, suits customers looking to mainly drill in the 10in row spacing configuration. This press wheel helps to firm the soil around the seed whilst the slight flex in the rubber combined with a scraper helps to prevent soil from sticking to the wheel. For those looking to inter-row hoe to a high degree of accuracy, a heavier duty linkage system ensures that row spacing is very consistent. Finally, a pair of Guttler rings attached to a tandem axle can be applied. The Guttlers are angled to bring soil back over the seeded row and ‘pinch’ the soil around the seed. FG Stand number: Hall 20 Stand 780

The growth in professional agricultural remapping will be highlighted by Avon Tuning HD at LAMMA, with the company growing its network of authorised agents in the UK to over 150 to meet the greater demand from farmers for increased efficiencies from existing machinery. Improving engine characteristics at source has greater reliability benefits, and assessing a tractor’s health before adding a remap is essential to ensure the machine will operate reliably once it is installed. “LAMMA provides the ideal platform for us to meet new and existing customers that are using our remaps and to get feedback on how they are working in the field,” explains Gareth Jones, director at Avon Tuning HD. “We also use the show to highlight further opportunities for new agents to join the network of authorised installers across the country. The increase in agents over the past two years is a clear indication that farmers aren’t replacing tractors as regularly as before, and being able to increase work efficiencies through

Powe r

To rq u e

professional remapping is allowing farmers to improve work efficiencies from existing equipment,” explains Gareth. Engine remapping is the process of editing the engine control unit (ECU) to alter the characteristics and performance of the engine. A typical remapping process would result in increased power and torque. However, peak power does not necessarily have to be increased. “Professional ECU remapping is safer and offers a more sophisticated way of tuning an engine as the installation and map editing is carried out by an experienced engineer who has greater control of engine parameters,” says Mr Jones.

(l-r): Company owners and family members Simon, Alex, and Laurie Anthony.

Company celebrates 10 years at LAMMA show In January 2024, Easy Petrol Post Driver will celebrate its 10th year exhibiting its alternative post driving machine at LAMMA. The company says LAMMA presented the perfect stage for it to launch its brand-new way of knocking posts into the ground. Gone are the days of whacking posts in with a sledge hammer or, more hazardous, with the tractor bucket. Since its launch at LAMMA in 2014, there have been many developments and improvements, but the goal has remained the same – to make the labour-intensive task of post driving safer and easier for farmers. Remembering the early years at the East of England Showground,

company owner Laurie Anthony said: “It was cold, dark, and raining sideways, but that didn’t stop the farmers from turning up in their droves. “We did hundreds of demos showcasing our new way of hammering posts in, and after some early scepticism we soon convinced people that the future had arrived, in a lightweight little machine with a Honda engine on it, all the way from Australia. “We are still so grateful to our early adopters who had faith in something new and different. One customer soon turned into hundreds, and today we have sold over 9,000 machines across Europe.” FG Stand number: Hall 7 Stand 610

Gain experience of American custom harvests Harvest Support USA-UK has built its business working with the US custom harvesting community for the last 14 years. During this time, the company has been placing young people onto harvesting crews who use the H2A working visa and the J1 training visa. Paul Hore started Harvest Support USA-UK after the owner of the harvest operation he worked for as a crew member back in 1984 asked him if he would recruit for him in 2011. Fast forward to 14 years later, and Harvest Support USA-UK now works with over 15 combine and hopping operations and large-scale farms in the USA and Canada With this vast knowledge and relationship with many crews in the USA, ‘Harvest Cruz Holidays’ has been setup for those who wish they

had taken part in a custom harvest when they were younger, or would love to see the US custom harvest. With that idea in mind, 2025 will bring the opportunity with Harvest Support USA-UK to join the team on two holidays available – one in June to see the summer harvest, and the second in September to see the fall harvest. This will include tours throughout the Mid-West with a guide who has over 40 years’ experience with life harvesting in the USA and can take you to all the harvesting hotspots and many other sightseeing attractions along the route.

Revolutionary system dramatically reduces wet-wasted straw With weather extremes continuously impacting UK farming, maintaining the quantity and quality of your straw has never been more important, says ProStraw Systems.

The unseasonably cool weather and significant amount of rainfall from the start of July, followed by a battering of various monsoon-like storms, caused big problems for UK farmers this year. Crops were slow to mature, and there were very few sequential dry days, with flooded fields and waterlogged soil, leading to a frustratingly stop-start harvest. The challenge of finishing off combining the last of the spring cereals, followed by the baling and carting of straw, was met with eventual relief – however, while the straw yields were significantly improved compared to those of last year’s drought summer, the challenging harvest meant more turns for straw and swathe, with very few windows of opportunity available to dry the straw. Post-harvest, the wet weather has shown no sign of stopping, so protecting straw bales is of paramount importance. Maintaining the quality and quantity of straw stocks is something that Suffolk farmers Paddy and Will Reed sought to address a number of years ago. They came up with a revolutionary system that applies covers to straw stacks mechanically, thus dramatically reducing the annual amounts of wetwasted straw. The ProStraw Systems straw stack

cover has proven to be a great asset for those stacking straw outside, and the company says it has experienced a huge amount of demand this year, due to the good availability of straw as well as the adverse weather conditions for storing it. While no one can predict how wet the weather will be this time next year, an investment in a ProStraw Systems stack cover is repaid within the first 12 months, the company says. Importing the Denmark-made Parkland Bale Accumulators has proven yet again to save massive amounts of time and extra cost, ProStraw Systems says. Coupled to the baler, this technology offers the solution of controlled traffic, reducing soil compaction. The range of threeand five-bale accumulators will help you save time, fuel and labour costs, as well as avoiding wear and tear on your valuable machinery by dropping the bales on the headland. As the sole importer of the Parkland Bale Accumulators, the company currently has new and used machines in stock ready for the 2024 season. The ProStraw Systems team will be at LAMMA ’24, ready to answer any questions you have. Visitors will also be able to see products up close and personal. FG Stand number: Hall 6 Stand 406

Introducing two new high-performance telehandlers JCB previewed two new high-performance models in its telescopic handler range at Agritechnica, and the new machines will make their UK debut at the LAMMA show. The JCB Loadall 542-100 provides more lift capacity than JCB’s current high-lift model, while a higherpowered version of the Loadall 56080, renowned for its bulk loading and

re-handling productivity, will give the machine even punchier performance. Both new telehandlers will come with JCB’s unique AGRI Pro package, now available across the Loadall range, combining a 129kW (173hp) engine with the DualTech VT transmission that provides “best of both worlds” hydrostatic and powershift drive, resulting in ideal driving characteristics for different tasks across a wide range of speeds. JCB Agriculture managing director, John Smith, said: “Our presence at [...] the LAMMA show enables us to emphasise JCB’s continued investment in the broadest range of materials handling products for agriculture, and in particular to showcase these two significant forthcoming additions to the Loadall range.”

The all-new JCB Loadall 542-100 will complement JCB’s current high-lift telehandler – the 536-95 – with a half-tonne, or more than 16%, increase in maximum lift capacity of 4.2 tonnes. Built with new chassis and boom designs enabling a number of performance and productivity enhancing features to be introduced, it will also lift heavier loads throughout the boom envelope and to the 9.8m maximum lift height. In its highest-specification AGRI Pro form, the Loadall 542-100 will be significantly more powerful thanks to its 129kW (173hp) engine and also faster with JCB’s unique 50kph DualTech VT transmission installed, enabling large farms and straw contractors to work more efficiently and more productively. Yet the Loadall 542-100 will have the same footprint as the current model, so it will be just as nimble for routine yard work while providing greater performance for loading and off-loading bale trailers and building tall storage stacks. The AGRI Pro specification will be available alongside AGRI Super and

AGRI Xtra configurations, so the 542100 will also be available with 112kW (150hp) and 97kW (130hp) versions of the JCB DieselMAX engine and a 40kph version of the JCB DualTech VT transmission, which provides initial movement by hydrostatic drive for the most precise control before automatically switching to directdrive powershift at faster speeds. With its 129kW (173hp) JCB DieselMAX engine, the Loadall 560-80 AGRI Pro will become the most powerful and best-equipped 6t capacity telehandler in the Loadall range. The 560-80 is currently available to AGRI Super 97kW (130hp) specification with a four-speed JCB Powershift transmission and 140-litre/ min hydraulics, and in AGRI Xtra form with 112kW (150hp), a 160-litre/min pump and JCB’s unique DualTech-VT hydro/powershift transmission. The new AGRI Pro version will have a 40kph version of this transmission and 160-litre/min hydraulics – plus 15% more power and 15% more peak torque at 690Nm from the 4.8-litre JCB engine.

The UK’s leading independent finance provider for the rural sector

Specialist finance to support all needs With the introduction of grant schemes and the need for funding for diversifications and renewables, Peregrine Asset Finance says it is well placed to assist with these projects. Peregrine Asset Finance was established in 1998, when the founding director saw the benefit of establishing a finance brokering business utilising a number of funders to ensure the best solutions for customers. Peregrine has been supporting businesses for over 25 years with its innovative solutions and has a deep understanding of various sectors. The business has expanded over the years with brokers covering the whole of the UK, including Northern Ireland, and therefore is able to offer an excellent support network for all its customers. The Peregrine team is well versed on the rural sector and has a practical understanding of the business as many of them have worked on farms and within the industry. Due to its understanding of the industry and the requirements both for cashflow and purchasing requirements, Peregrine says it is able to offer bespoke options for each individual customer. It has found in recent years that with the introduction of grant schemes and also the need for buildings and infrastructure, it is able to offer loan facilities to suit all needs. Peregrine is very aware that due to the cost of new machinery, it is seeing more purchases of

machines from farmer to farmer and it has facilities in place to cover this. One customer said: “I always like working with Peregrine Finance as I know when they are involved the deal gets processed quickly and efficiently. I can get back on with the day-to-day running of the farm.” Going forward, the company says it is well aware that diversifications, renewables and business expansions are looking for funding and Peregrine has specialist finance providers available with an appetite for these projects. It is also apparent that farmers are under increasing pressure to upgrade or replace their slurry and waste water systems. This is another area that Peregrine Finance is able to utilise its expertise. Mark Blacker joined Peregrine Finance in 2004 after a lifetime of growing up and working on both livestock and arable units. During this period, Mark was able to expand his knowledge of all aspects of farming. This has given Mark a solid foundation to be able to assist each customer with their individual requirements. Mark is always happy to discuss any potential finance requirements, even if they are still in the planning stage. Please feel free to contact him directly. FG

Rekindle Christmas with powerful, capable log splitter As we move into the coldest time of the year, Ceres Machinery says it has the ideal machine – the Ceres 20t Log Splitter is a very powerful and capable machine, recommended by all levels of firewood processors and suitable for agricultural and commercial use. It is able to cope with a wide variety of wood with ease, including knotted, twisted and burled rings, as well as root balls. The Log Splitter is powered by a hydraulic ram which produces 20 tonnes of pressure and it is operated by the safe and easy-to-use twinhandled operation, which meets all the latest safety requirements. The legally required twin-handle operation works its own independent spool block, with the splitter only requiring a single-acting hydraulic feed from its power source. The Log Splitter has Category 1/2 linkage mounting for use with a tractor, but alternatively it can be used with a hydraulic power pack or telehandler. The central beam is robust and strong, limiting the possibility of any bending or twisting during operation of the Log Splitter, while the

specially-shaped splitting head slices through wood effortlessly, with a maximum splitting height of 650mm. The base of the splitter is fabricated from checker plate which prevents the danger of the wood sliding. The Ceres Log Splitter can be used as a single piece, or in conjunction with the optional heavyduty table. The table makes a great addition, increasing the splitter's efficiency and ergonomics, with a height of 710mm (28in), a width of 1,980mm (6ft 6in), which provides a working space of 740mm (29in) on either side of the centrally-positioned splitter, and a top thickness of 6mm (¼in). The heavy-duty table is particularly useful for processing

large quantities of wood, because it makes the process of loading bags, boxes or bins much quicker and easier. The table also comes complete with Category 1/2 linkage mounting and two large box section feet for stability as well as compatibility with forklifts and loaders. The splitter is easily detachable from the table, meaning that you have the choice of using the Log Splitter alone, so you

A family run business established in East Anglia for over 40 years

can still gain access to challenging environments. Both the Log Splitter itself and the heavy-duty table come painted as standard. Alternatively, they are available with a hard-wearing, galvanised finish, for increased longevity and durability. Due to the splitter and the table being separate components, you can choose whether to have both or either parts with the galvanised finish. FG

AW Trailers, which was established in 1993 with three staff, is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. Over the past three decades, the Herefordshire company has grown into a 28-strong team and built nearly 9,000 trailers. Over that time, the types of trailers it manufactures has changed significantly, says company founder Andrew Watkins. Starting out with basic 8t grain trailers, it now builds 18–24t “allsinging, all-dancing” trailers with air brakes, hydraulic sheets and ABS etc, which are becoming the norm. The company’s USP is custom-built trailers, made to suit the customer’s specification. It also has a standard range of grain, silage, potato root and bale trailers – ranging from the smallest 3t carrying capacity up to 24t. It makes custom one-off builds such as nurse tanks, mostly for

digestate, and people carriers, low loader trailers, dump trailers and stock containers. Andrew says the company is continuously improving and developing its range based on customer feedback. In recent years, it has manufactured bale trailers with hydraulic wings, and it is tentatively looking into making an ejector trailer, potentially in the next 12 months. This is beneficial for larger trailers which can be quite unstable when tipping – and there is the option for some of the bulkier crops to compress the load, so you can carry more weight in a smaller trailer, Andrew explains.

Hundreds of thousands of farmers enjoy Agritechnica’s return The first Agritechnica event for four years took place in Hanover, Germany in mid-November. Marking the end of a year packed full of manufacturer press events where new machines were previewed, the show was the first opportunity for many dealers and potential customers to inspect the latest offerings for the first time. David Williams was there. Hints about the future This year’s event focused on sustainability, and the theme prevailed across most of the stands. Several manufacturers had divided their stands into sections featuring new products available to order now, and possible additions to ranges for the future. In addition to ongoing developments focusing on battery power, interestingly several manufacturers displayed hydrogen-fuelled solutions based on combustion and fuel-cell technology, as well as machinery capable of

operating on bio-gasses and liquid fuels to reduce CO2 emissions.

Availability will vary Some of the new products displayed will appear at LAMMA in January, while others won’t be seen in the UK until later in 2024 – or even 2025. However, UK dealer representatives who spoke with Farmers Guide at the German event expect to be particularly busy in the coming months, demonstrating their new machines and explaining features and benefits of the latest technology. FG

Massive stand John Deere had a vast stand as usual, which this year was laid out to reflect the crop growing process from planting to harvest and residue management, as well as an area devoted to livestock farming. John Deere UK marketing manager Chris Wiltshire said that there had been considerable interest in products across the range, including the use of John Deere’s HarvestLab sensor to monitor grain quality in real-time during harvest. Chris said that since it was launched as an option for S- and T-series combines last year, growers have quickly recognised its potential for segregating crops that don’t meet stringent quality requirements from those that do, and for nitrogen use calculations allowing accurate monitoring of how much has been removed from the field. Another big advantage of the system is that, in a catchy harvest, it allows data-based decisions to be made as to which fields to harvest first to maximise market values. Chris is pictured with one of only a few new machines on the stand – the John Deere 300M sprayer which is an addition to the sprayer line-up. There are two models, both with a front cab layout. The 332M has a 3,200-litre tank and can carry booms up to 28m. Power is from a 175hp engine, and it has a tight 3.8m turning radius. The larger 340M has a 4,000-litre tank and can be fitted with booms up to 36m. It has a 225hp engine and a turning radius of 4.2m. PowrSpray is standard, using two circuits for filling and spraying, and allowing filling at up to 750 litres/min. Availability is limited to just a few countries for 2024, but UK customers are among those able to place orders now.

First major launch of the show The first major product launch at the show, at 8.30am on the preview day, featured Massey Ferguson’s new 9S flagship – one of only a few new tractors to have been kept totally under wraps until the event. The 9S-series includes six models from 285–425hp, making these the most powerful Massey Fergusons to date. Dyna-VT infinitely variable transmission is standard, using a separate oil reservoir to the hydraulics system to reduce risks of contamination and maximise service intervals. Like the 8S-series, the new 9S models feature Massey Ferguson’s exclusive Protect-U design which separates the engine compartment from the cab to reduce noise and vibration. The 3.4m3 cab is one of the quietest on the market and has class-leading visibility. The new flagship tractors come with an extremely high standard specification as well as oil supply options up to 340 litres/min at only 1,650rpm, with supply to up to six rear valves with adjustable flow rate and decompression levers as standard. Unladen weight is from just 10,900kg and maximum gross weight is 18,500kg with a power-to-weight ratio up to 25.4kg/hp.

Celebrating 30 years Also launched on the Massey Ferguson stand was a commemorative edition 5S-series model, marking 30 years since the steep-nose bonnet was introduced. For a limited time, the special edition tractors come with a range of options included, as well as decals marking 30 years on the bonnet and elsewhere.

Versatile shallow-tine cultivator On the Kockerling stand, the new Allrounder -flatline-500 cultivator was shown. Key features include wide-spaced tines for resistance to blocking, precise maintenance of the pre-set working depth – even when working very shallow, and excellent ground contour following capability. Kockerling suggests the main applications will include shallow stubble cultivations with initial mixing of crop residues, incorporation of slurry and heavier crop residues, and seedbed preparation. Deeper loosening down to 13cm is possible. The Allrounder -flatline-500 has a 5m working width, 130mm tine spacing across 70cmspaced bars and it folds to 3m for transport. Options include the front knife roller for mulching cover crops and trash.

Machinery Pushing harvesting boundaries

Claas celebrates The new Claas Xerion 12.650 Terra Trac was awarded the Tractor of the Year 2024 title at the event. With 653hp, Claas CMatic CVT transmission and a cab even larger than that of the Lexion combines, the impressive machine is expected to be available for UK demonstrations by late spring. Pictured with it at the event are Claas large tractor team manager, Steffan Kurtz (left) and Claas UK chief customer officer, Jeremy Wiggins.

New Holland had also saved a major new product to be previewed at the event. The CR11 is its next generation flagship combine, offering a step up in performance from the current CR10.90. It has a 775hp engine, two 24in rotors and a 20,000-litre grain tank. It also features two cleaning systems and two clean grain elevators. New Holland claims the system allows maximum work rates with losses close to zero. The combine was displayed with a MacDon 15m Draper header at the show.

Gas options increased New Holland also displayed its new T7 Methane tractor at the event. New Holland alternative fuels manager, George Mills (pictured) said that the T7.270 Methane shares the underpinnings of the T7.300 and produces 270hp with no boost. Emissions are reduced by 80% compared to the standard diesel model and it takes 4–6 minutes to refuel. Most demand is from large scale farms with anaerobic digesters or dairy units, and the main application is for transport tasks with heavy trailers where the T7’s weight and pulling capability ensures safe operation.

Battery handler Claas previewed its 732e batterypowered Scorpion telehandler at the show, complete with an integral 22kW charger and capable of working four hours and then recharging in just four hours. Other innovations included a fully autonomous version of the new Xerion 12.650, and a hybrid combine using electric power to supplement the standard diesel power unit when load peaks occur – which in trials produced fuel savings up to 10%.

Cultivator and drill options increased

Spreading and spraying by drone DJI is well known for its range of drones sold for hobby and business use, but at Agritechnica the company exhibited larger commercial drones suitable for field scouting, spraying, spreading and making deliveries. Company representative, Fusen Chu (pictured) said that the company manufactures drones capable of spraying up to 25ha per hour and that possible applications include all types of crops with the absence of tramline wheelings being a big attraction for growers. Tank capacities up to 50 litres are available with a maximum weight of 40kg. Costs are from approximately €11,000.

Bednar country manager UK and Ireland, Adrian Winnett is pictured at the show. He recently joined the Bednar team and reported an extremely busy event with considerable interest in new models displayed including the Katara which is the company’s first power harrow drill combination. The version displayed was for seed-only, but a combined grain and fertiliser model will join the line-up shortly, and Adrian expects it to prove popular for growers in the north of England and Scotland. Working widths are 4, 5 or 6m and there is a choice of 12.5 or 16.7cm row spacing. The company also displayed its Matador direct strip till drill capable of placing fertiliser with seed in a single pass. Adrian commented that the first UK farmer who visited the stand was impressed by the drill’s ability to place two types of fertiliser in different locations relative to oilseed rape seed in just one operation. Adrian said that Bednar intends to increase its share of the drill market to be within the top three suppliers, and that he is actively looking for new dealers to represent the brand in the UK where there are gaps in the existing coverage.

Machinery Pushing boundaries for the future The completely new Fendt 600 Vario series tractor attracted considerable attention when it was shown for the first time at the event. Tested by Farmers Guide in advance of the launch, earlier this year, the new models feature a completely new AgcoPower engine and use Fendt’s low engine speed concept and VarioDrive transmission to maximise efficiency and minimise fuel consumption. There are four models from 164–224hp and with 950Nm of torque from the most powerful 620 Vario. Impressive capability to operate the most demanding implements includes hydraulic flow rates up to 205 litres/min, and up to 65 litres removable oil capacity. Deliveries start later this year. The Fendt and Agco Future Zone highlighted areas of future development, including the Helios hydrogen-fuelled tractor. Along with the Fendt Helios tractor, a Fendt 942 Vario advertised the ability of all Fendt tractors with an AgcoPower or MAN engine to run on HVO fuels from the start of 2024. Finally, a standard version of the battery electric Fendt e100 Vario was shown for the first time, equipped with an AgcoPower developed methanol fuel cell. This system was mounted on the front linkage and is quoted as doubling the usage time of the e100 Vario in standard work. Fendt’s e107 Vario battery-powered tractor won the title of Sustainable Tractor of the Year at the event. “Increasingly, our discussions with customers are focussing on systems rather than individual products,” said Fendt UK marketing manager, Ed Dennett. “To farm efficiently requires accurate information, and through our precision farming systems we are producing usable data that can help owners run their businesses better. “Our FendtONE operating concept is proving very popular for its efficiency and ease of use, and from later this year we will have FendtONE off-board available to complement the on-board systems, and that will make sharing information between the office and the machine even easier.”

Wider choice of headers Abrey Agricultural is the UK importer for Ziegler products, including the wide range of combine header trailers and headers. Managing director, Toby Abrey is pictured with the latest Corn Master maize header – available in folding 6-row and 8-row versions. A new fixed 12-row header is being added to the line-up for 2024, and a 16-row model will follow later. Plastic divider covers are extremely durable but reduce weight and allow smooth and consistent crop travel into the combine for processing. Toby said that he will have a 12-row model available for demonstrations this year, with a selection of feederhouse mounting systems for various combine brands. Ziegler also displayed its new ZPU Proline 4001 4m twin-belt header which Toby said is ideal for crops that tend to bunch rather than flow cleanly, such as borage. The 4m version is a new addition to the line-up which already includes a 3m model.

UK dealer delighted by new models

New compact telehandlers from Merlo were announced at the show. Merlo UK general manager, Shaun Groom said that the additional models will be welcomed by dealers and users as the machine size sector is the largest in the UK due to the large number of traditional low farm buildings. The Turbofarmer 30.7 is just 2m wide and has a choice of three cabs including a low-profile version with an overall height of just 1.9m. It will lift 3,000kg to 6.7m. Power is from a 101hp Deutz engine, and the hydrostatic transmission provides 40kph maximum speed. The Turbofarmer 27.6 is a revised version of the P27.6. It has a 95 litres/min pump and a 210-bar hydraulic system incorporating a flow sharing valve allowing simultaneous hydraulic operations. The company also displayed a concept Turbofarmer 43.7e, full-size battery powered handler to demonstrate its commitment to developing sustainable solutions for the future. Pictured with Shaun Groom (left) and the new Turbofarmer 30.7 are three generations of the Hardwick family. Hardwick Engineering Ltd is a longestablished Merlo dealer based between Scarborough and Malton in Yorkshire. Eric Hardwick said he is delighted with the new model which fills a gap in the line-up created several years ago when production of the popular Merlo 32.6 model ceased. Eric (right) is with his son Josh and grandson Archie.

New British drill

Wider drill options

Farmers Guide reported exclusively last month on the new UKmanufactured Horizon MDSX drill ahead of its Agritechnica launch. The mounted MDSX shares all the main design features of the trailed DSX, but the mounted version is a cost-effective option for smaller farms – especially when there is a front seed hopper already available. The company also featured new Gen 3 row units for its range of DSX drills – with row cleaners mounted on parallelograms allowing them to operate closer to the discs. Row spacing can be changed easily and quickly. New 8–9m DSX drills will join the line-up in 2024, with an adjustable seed boot that will make it easier to alter the depth. An automatic downforce control option will also be available. Pictured with the new MDSX drill are (l-r) Mark Croal, Tim Bradshaw, Jon Myhill, George Sly, Mateusz Graczyk, Sam Illingworth, and Charlie Eaton.

The new Lemken 9m Solitaire DT drill was displayed for the first time on the company’s stand. Available in widths up to only 6m previously, UK managing director Paul Creasy said that the wider 9m version will satisfy strong demand in the UK as growers look to increasing their work rates to make the most of favourable weather for field operations. “UK farms have the tractor horsepower required to make the most of this drill’s capabilities,” stressed Paul. The drill was shown with Lemken’s new MultiHub applicator which is suitable for a wide range of small seeds and products such as Avadex, and which replaces the previous SeedHub unit. It can be fitted to most of the company’s range of cultivators and drills. Also announced at the show was a standard two-year warranty for almost all Lemken cultivators ordered from dealers from the date of the event, including units sold from dealers’ existing stock. Paul is pictured (right) with sales representative Johannes Schott, and product specialist Lena Busch.

Meet Karl Kuhn displayed its Karl autonomous tracked tractor which remains a concept machine, as well as several new products available now such as the Tineliner tined mechanical weeder – available in 6–12m working widths, and the Rowliner row-crop cultivator which comes in 6–12 row configurations. Pictured with the 12m Tineliner are Kuhn UK managing director, Siân Pritchard and UK sales manager, Duncan McLeash.

Autonomous tractors Kubota dedicated a large part of its stand to future developments, including a kit allowing its tractors to operate autonomously, and a battery-powered 25.8hp compact tractor. The Agri-Robo autonomous kit is available to buy and use in Japan today, explained Kubota sales, marketing and dealer development manager Henry Bredin.

Swathing increasingly popular MacDon promoted its self-propelled swathers as well as the range of Draper headers. “There is growing demand for swathers as growers try to reduce dependence on chemicals,” explained MacDon area sales and product support specialist for UK and Iberia, Rob Brough. “Swathing can reduce losses through the gentle action of the pick-up header, and we are seeing demand for harvesting crops including barley, oilseed rape, borage, peas, and interest for herbage seeds is growing. If glyphosate is banned as is being discussed, then we are sure that many more farmers will invest.” The swather displayed features hydraulic axles that extend to provide clearance for travelling along wide swaths, but which retract for travel on the road. The engine is 170hp and the operator station rotates for ease of travel on the road. Rob said that most buyers opt for headers from 15–30ft wide, although the 25ft version is most popular. Swathing speed using the latest-generation header with 50in Draper belts is up to 20kph. A demonstration unit will be available for testing in the UK this harvest to meet growing interest, and a machine will be displayed at LAMMA. MacDon’s FD2 Flex Draper combine headers are available in working widths up to 50ft and when fitted to John Deere X9, Claas, CaseIH and New Holland combines, the control systems integrate seemlessly without needing additional wiring. “Although the 50ft headers are extremely wide, we haven’t found the limit to customer demand for even wider working widths yet,” Rob stressed.

Demand growing for SP applicators With the sugar beet harvest across Europe in full swing at the time of the event, most enquiries on the Vervaet stand were for self-propelled slurry applicators, explained UK importer J Riley Agri managing director Matt Carse (pictured). “Added convenience compared to umbilical application systems plus the shortage of labour means that interest in self-propelled tankers and applicators is growing. “Since our Quad four-wheel applicator was launched, with its ability to travel on tramlines in spring crops, we sold three the first year, five in 2023, and already have three ordered for 2024 delivery. A big attraction of the Vervaet brand is its reputation for quality and high resale values, as well as the back-up from our experienced Norfolk-based team.”

Drill highlight Vaderstad displayed several new products, but the Seed Hawk drill which is available in the UK next year was a highlight for many. It is available in 6, 8 and 9m working widths, and Vaderstad UK marketing manager, Andy Gamble described it as ‘designed for the UK market’. A three-section hopper is standard. Hopper capacities are 2,400, 2,000 and 2,600 litres and each of the hoppers can be used for fertilisers or seed. New front discs for cover crops and high residue environments cut through and clear trash, then an ultra-fine tilth is created in the seed zone at 6–40mm depth. Seeds are placed in a clean zone on a ‘shelf’, 38mm to the side and 19mm above the fertiliser. Seeds and fertilisers are metered through Fenix 3 distributors. iPad-based E-Control is standard, and SeedEye blockage monitoring is an option. Versions 8m and above have three sections, and smaller models have two sections. Production starts in 2025. Also announced at the event was Dynamic Control – a new option for Rapid and Spirit drills, providing compatibility with any tramline spacing configuration, regardless of the drill width. The system uses a new distribution head and E-Control and SeedEye seed monitoring, and the system also allows seed row spacing to be doubled at the touch of the screen. Pictured with the new Seed Hawk drill are Andy Gamble (left) with marketing coordinator, Tom Wyles.

UK manufacturer sees exports increase Weaving Machinery hadn’t exhibited at the show since 2013, but Simon Weaving (pictured) said that demand for the company’s products is growing rapidly, especially in France, Germany and the Czech Republic. “Most interest at the show was in our GD drills as usual, but we also brought our new Lynx tine drill which proved extremely popular,” he said. “The Lynx drill shares superb ground contour following capability with our larger and more heavy-duty Tine Drill, with pivots in the centre of the wings allowing the inner and outer sections to tilt. The Lynx operates with reduced soil disturbance and is ideal for working behind shallow discs or a low-disturbance subsoiler.”

Mid-size line-up gains CVT Deutz-Fahr has added TTV models with CVT transmission to its 6-series tractor line-up. Two 4-cylinder, and seven 6-cylinder models (including the 6230 TTV HD version) are all available with the userfriendly transmission.

Shallow tine cultivator Geoffrey Wox of Wox Agri Services was busy at the show dealing with enquiries from UK customers relating to the new Guttler SuperMaxx cultivator. He explained to Farmers Guide that although just one tine is used across the SuperMaxx model range, a choice of three working elements makes it easy to change the working format to suit different environments and situations. Geoffrey suggests that main applications will include straw incorporation and shallow tine cultivations for seedbed establishment. The cultivator easily converts to a seeder working with a mounted or front distributor. “It would work particularly well with a front press under a frontmounted seed hopper to achieve even weight distribution and balance,” he said. Options include hydraulic depth control through the wheels and pitch adjustment of the harrows. Geoffrey said that UK weather this year has highlighted the superiority of tines compared to discs, including being easier to pull and kinder to the ground. The new cultivator comes in 3–12m working widths, and a 9m mounted version will be in stock in the UK for demonstrations. The widest 12m version will also be stocked, and Geoffrey hopes to have it on his stand at LAMMA.

Machinery Flagship Quadtrac draws the crowds

Pride of place at the front of the CaseIH stand was occupied by the latest Quadtrac 715 with up to 778hp, but at the rear of the stand the smaller Farmall 75C electric was also attracting plenty of attention. Deliveries of the electric Farmall start later this year and marketing manager Neil Macer explained that there has already been considerable interest from a wide range of customers – including municipal organisations, councils and airports as well as agricultural and horticultural users. The standard diesel engine is replaced by an electric motor which produces 320Nm of torque across a wide rev band from 900–1,700rpm. The standard 12x12 transmission is retained as well as the PTO drive maintaining compatibility with current implements. An electro-hydraulic PTO clutch is used for drive engagement. Front loader options are available, and an optional virtual view feature allows operators to ‘see through’ the bucket. Neil Macer (right) is pictured with the new tractor, and with CaseIH product specialist for high horsepower tractors, Charlie Webber.

UK-built handlers gain capacity and features JCB previewed two new Loadall telescopic handlers at the event, including the 542-100 pictured. The 542-100 provides 16% more lift capacity (0.5 tonnes) than the current 536-95 and lifts heavier loads throughout the boom movement range and to the 9.8m maximum height. In the Agri Pro form displayed, it comes with a 173hp engine and JCB DualTech VT transmission. The Agri Pro will be available alongside Agri Super and Agri Xtra specifications which come with 150 or 130hp power units. The other new Loadall was a 173hp 560-80 Agri Pro with a 40kph DualTech-VT transmission, 160 litres/min hydraulics and 15% more power and peak torque than the current 560-80 Agri Xtra version.

Larger plough to meet UK demand Ovlac UK sales manager, Nick Clark (left) is pictured with Ovlac Spain CEO, Jorge Calvo Guamis on the company’s stand. A 7f fully mounted plough is the latest addition to the XP plough model line-up, capable of operating on-land or in-furrow. Like other XP ploughs, the new, larger model can be equipped with an oscillating headstock with dampers to soften the swing when the plough is picked up. XP models feature a parallelogram linkage which provides automatic front furrow width adjustment when the working width is altered. Hardox steel is used for much of the construction to save weight and provide strength. Nick said that Ovlac ploughs are particularly easy to set-up and use, and their design makes them easy to pull, reducing the power requirement and fuel consumption. The pivoting cross-shaft means that the ploughs self-align, helping prevent any tendency to crab. Also launched at the event was a new Ovlac Micro Applicator which is an option for all Ovlac cultivators.

Black-grass control

Grassland repair

Dalbo will display the 1,000th set of 12.3m Powerrolls to be sold in the UK on its stand at LAMMA this month, explained Dalbo UK sales manager Thomas Atkin. At Agritechnica, the UK team’s emphasis was on the Multiroll Twin, which is based on the Multiroll but has three rows of black-grass harrows at the front to create a tilth and a double CrossCombi packer weighing more than 1t per metre of width at the rear. The Multiroll Twin is expected to be popular with UK farmers looking for an effective means of ensuring blackgrass and weed seed germination in stubbles, and it will also be excellent for seedbed creation. Thomas is pictured (right) with Dalbo Germany aftersales manager, Till Heitmann.

The Grass Combi from HeVa was displayed at the event, ahead of its UK launch on the Opico stand at LAMMA. It is designed for over-seeding into grass, stubbles or cultivated ground. Manually adjusted shatter boards at the front are followed by three rows of hydraulically adjusted 12mm spring tines. A Stocks Ag Turbo Jet 8 seeder will be standard for UK models. The Grass Combi can be used on its own, or in combination with a grass or Cambridge roll, and a standard rear hydraulic fitting can be utilised for roll folding. Pictured with the new implement which is available this year is He-Va product manager, Glenn Bootman.

Wider fuel compatibility Finland-built flagship The latest Valtra S-series flagship was displayed for the first time at the event. In a striking bronze finish, it attracted considerable interest from potential buyers. Manufactured in the Valtra factory at Suolahti, Finland, the S6-series includes six models from 280–420hp, and with 1,250–1,750Nm of torque. Agco’s continuously variable ML 260 transmission is standard.

Weidemann displayed alternative fuel solutions including handlers powered by batteries at the front of the stand. It also announced at the show that all diesel-fuelled machines manufactured from this month will be capable of operating on hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) instead – reducing CO2 emissions by up to 90%. The machines can operate on 100% HVO, or 100% diesel, or any mix of the two.

High output precision applications The Maxi Jet is the largest applicator from Stocks Ag to date, and it made its debut at Agritechnica. It has a high output metering block making it capable of high application rates up to 200kg/ha even on wide machines. Interest in the applicator at the show was mainly from farmers looking for a second seeding unit to fit to an existing drill, or for reseeding grass mounted on wide grass harrows. The choice of distributor heads allows application through up to 80 outlets., although 32 are standard. Rates are automatically controlled in proportion to forward speed by Stock’s i-CON touchscreen monitor. Alternatively, the Maxi Jet can be managed by the tractor’s on-board Isobus controller. The price is from approximately £11,600 explained Stocks Ag technical director, Tim Farrow who is pictured with the new machine.

New boom design The Hardi Mega 22 sprayer with a Pro Force boom was displayed for the first time at the show, and will be available later this year. The new booms are available in 15–28m widths and are the first from the company to use pendulum type suspension which can be adjusted to alter the suspension and ground adapting characteristics on the move. The boom’s construction includes separate routing of the sprayline plumbing and nozzle control systems for ease of maintenance and improved reliability. Spot spraying by camera is a new option, with up to 56 individually controlled nozzles on the 28m boom. With the new boom is Hardi sales director, Peter Dahl.

Reduced costs a priority Claydon exports many of its drills to European markets including Scandinavia, Poland, the Baltics and Germany. “Farmers in these areas are just as keen as those in the UK to reduce costs of establishment and make a profit as they are affected by low grain prices,” explained managing director Jeff Claydon. “We have been selling our drills in Germany for more than a decade, so they are already well known and respected in the market.” Pictured (l-r) are Andrei Botnari, Leva Straume, Spencer Claydon, Steen Olesen, Jeff Claydon, Petar Kabasakalov, Denis Stoica and Simon Revell.

When Farmers Guide saw the Kuhn Performer in action, it was working into the evening breaking up the surface layer and relieving compaction after harvesting, to ensure rainwater would drain rather than remaining on the surface over winter.

drilling or stale seedbeds for blackgrass and volunteer control after harvest. In very light or soft, damp soils there is also the option to share the weight of the cultivator between the rear packer and the transport wheels to ensure consistent working depth.

Soil loosening and seedbed creation

Versatile deep cultivator helping meet green farming objectives A large-scale farming operation focused on green energy production has invested in a pair of one-pass deep cultivators which will be used for all future cultivations. David Williams saw the machines in action. Pretoria Energy Company (Arable) Ltd operates from a base near Ely in Cambridgeshire. The renewable cropping regime includes rye, and maize. Cover crops are grown between main crops to improve soil condition and for weed control. The rye is grown for energy production and harvested wholecrop, and it is used along with the maize to fuel the company’s anaerobic digester plants for energy production.

Timely operations To ensure operations are completed within the required time windows requires a fleet of high-output machinery. The tractor line-up includes two 500hp Claas Xerions which do most of the heavy fieldwork.

Versatile cultivator The Kuhn Performer has disc and tine elements capable of working direct into stubbles or on ploughed and pre-cultivated ground and will usually achieve a seedbed in a single pass. A double row of 510mm diameter, 6mm thick curved and notched discs at the front cut through trash and provide mixing with loose soil near the surface. These are followed by four rows of curved deep loosening tines with 900kg hydraulic breakback protection. Interspaced with the third row of tines, a pair of transport wheels with large flotation tyres can also provide depth control. The fourth bank of tines is behind the wheels, followed by a

full-width row of levelling discs, and a heavy packer roller at the rear provides depth control and leaves a consolidated, level and clod-free surface. Independent adjustment of all the working elements makes the cultivator suitable for a wide variety of soil types and situations. In wet, sticky conditions, the front discs, levelling discs and rear packer can be raised out of work to use only the wide-spaced tines for cultivation with depth control provided by the large centre wheels. Alternatively, with the tines raised the discs can be used on their own with depth adjustment by the rear packer to achieve high-speed shallow cultivations to create a fine tilth for

The main tines can operate to a maximum depth of 35cm, as deep as most subsoilers. The standard point width is 50mm; 80mm points are an option, and 350mm curved wings can be added above the tine point to progressively increase tine width and the mixing effect for effective shallow working. “The standard 50mm tines are ideal for deep working to break through compaction pans and loosen and mix the soil,” explained Kuhn tillage specialist, Rupert Greest. “Adding the 350mm wings ensures thorough mixing at shallower working depths, but because they attach above the base of the tine, the 50mm point is retained and this works lower down to loosen soil and allow drainage without the risk of a wider point smearing and creating a pan.”

Impressed by dealer support When Pretoria farming landwork manager, Aidas Paliulis contacted Kuhn main dealer, Collings Bros Ltd, based at Abbotsley near Huntingdon he was impressed by the response. “We had been considering new cultivator options for more than a year but even after all that time, some suppliers still hadn’t managed to arrange

Sustainability Part of the change to more sustainable farming has included reduced cultivations. The selection of cultivators used until this season included models which could struggle with high volumes of trash and cover crops, and others with depth control wheels across the working width that sometimes blocked in sticky conditions. Demonstrations of new cultivators that appeared more suitable took place this autumn, including the Kuhn Performer.

The Kuhn Performer has a mix of deep working curved legs which relieve compaction and achieve thorough mixing, as well as discs and a heavy rear packer to break up clods and leave a level surface for drilling.

Machinery demonstrations. We spoke with Collings Bros area sales manager, Todd Roberts for the first time this autumn, and later the same day there was a 5m Performer on our farm for testing. The first task was incorporating dense cover crops and it performed exceptionally well, so Todd agreed to leave it with us for several more days so that we could try it in a wider range of soils and conditions. “We returned it on a Saturday morning and requested a quotation which arrived by the Monday. We placed our order on the Wednesday, then collected the Performer two days later and immediately put it to work. When Todd called to check progress after a few weeks we told him it was performing well, and he responded that he had another similar machine in stock, so we ordered that too. Both are 5m versions which operate behind our Xerion 5000 tractors.”

Pride in result Within five weeks of its arrival on the farm, the first Performer had already worked more than 700ha. “I far preferred it to other cultivators we trialled,” explained tractor operator,

Neil Wheeler. “Considering the size, it’s easy to manoeuvre around obstructions and ensure all the land is worked. The rear tine row is behind the central transport wheels, so I can reverse these right into the corners having lifted the rear packer up out of the way from the cab. “I take pride in my work and feel the Performer always produces a good result. It hasn’t blocked once so far, no matter how much damp trash has been present.”

Improving drainage

working curved tines will perform the subsoiling function – lifting the land and relieving compaction while thoroughly mixing trash to achieve a quick breakdown of organic matter, and the combination of discs and tines plus the heavy rear packer will leave the land ready for seeding by one of the farm’s mixed fleet of drills. Seed applicators will also be fitted to the Performers after harvest, allowing cover crops to be established during cultivations and saving an additional pass.

Sustainable farming “We need the capability to continue working and achieving high work rates even when conditions are challenging, but avoiding soil damage and farming sustainably is always our priority,” confirmed Aidas. “The Kuhn Performer cultivators are just what we have been looking for – they provide a one-pass solution which reduces the number of field operations needed to produce our crops and they will help us to look after our soils while meeting our sustainable farming objectives.” FG

When Farmers Guide visited the farm, the Performer was working land directly behind a sugar beet harvester in wet, sticky conditions. The discs and rear packer were lifted out of work, and tine depth was controlled by the transport wheels. Aidas explained that his priority was to create a broken, permeable surface that would allow rainfall to penetrate and drain away rather than to remain on top over winter in the harvester and trailer wheelings.

One-pass for all crops This year, Aidas plans to cultivate all the crop stubbles using the Performer cultivators. The deep

Machinery “Direct drilling doesn’t work as a whole on this farm and I’m not convinced that it would be the right approach for us,” explains Mr Horner. “It would be great to sell all the cultivation kit, but it just isn’t feasible. We drill oilseed rape straight into stubbles with the sub-soiler and a Stocks applicator.”

“Nothing comes close”

Plough plays second fiddle to more flexible cultivator Rising production costs coupled with pressure on cultivation timeliness and labour availability, has led Lincolnshire arable farmer Tim Horner of Holme Farm, Tetney to review the use of his plough as a key cultivator in favour of a more flexible and faster disc/tined-based cultivation system, without compromising yield and quality. because it can create cloddy seedbeds. Our plough is now only used on about 40% of the fields each year, while the majority goes under the TopDown. “Our land is best cultivated early and left to weather for at least six weeks,” he explains. “All our straw is baled and sold to livestock farmers and some is kept for bedding down our own cattle herd.”

Well-built machines The TopDown is designed to slice up the entire soil surface, mix in harvest residues and loosen to depth, all in a single pass using Vaderstad’s System Disc in front, followed by tines at 27cm spacing for good mixing and to provide a level surface finish. Then the packer offers consolidation, which can be very important on heavier soils, especially when wet. Mr Horner always aims to plough

the spring cropped land as early in the autumn as possible, leaving it open to help drainage over the winter period when it often rains. Average annual rainfall is 585mm. Ideally, ploughed land is then cultivated with the farm’s Vaderstad Rexius Twin to create a suitable seedbed for the 6m Rapid drill in the spring. The Rexius is a very well-built machine, like all kit that is made by Vaderstad, he says. Land prepped for winter crops is subsoiled to remove compaction if necessary and is cultivated with the TopDown. Depending on the seedbed quality, fields are cultivated with the Rexius Twin but if further cultivation is not necessary, then it is straight in with the Rapid drill. The oilseed rape land is cultivated in August with the TopDown and drilled with wheat in October.

• 7 furrow plough • 5m TopDown • 6.2m Rexius Twin • 6m Rapid Drill • Flatliner subsoiler • Power harrow • 4.25m Simba discs.

Mr Horner operates a mixed farm enterprise with 485ha of medium to heavy clay soils supporting arable crops including wheat, barley, spring barley, oilseed rape, spring oats and beans. Cereals are grown for feed and average yields are 10t/ha. For many years the plough has been the primary cultivator, which has been used successfully to keep on top of black-grass and facilitate the over wintering of mostly heavy and challenging soils. Black-grass is managed but is an on-going problem says Mr Horner, so the introduction of spring crops alongside herbicides and a change in cultural practices has helped keep the problem under control. “We use cultivations to move the soil and keep it aerated,” he says. “We are not advocates of the strip tillage approach to crop establishment

“We also tried several other cultivators to compare against the TopDown, but nothing really comes close to it for mixing trash and working at different levels. I like its versatility too, so we can use it like a Carrier, or the packer can be lifted out of work to produce soils with an open finish. “Our TopDown works shallow and deep, but generally we work down to about six inches. For shallow work at depths of about one inch, we just use the discs,” he explains. “Our TopDown is fitted with hard wearing and durable tungsten tipped Marathon points on the tines, which means that they retain the working angle even as they wear, which is ideal in wet soils. We only changed our original points last year despite employing the TopDown over 900ha in three seasons. This is our first TopDown, which is now five years old. Wing shares, 50mm and 80mm points are also available in optional Marathon versions, where they are reinforced with a wearing surface of hard metal (tungsten carbide) for substantially longer life which reduces the downtime.” FG

Doe Show 2024: An event not to be missed! The Doe Show, an iconic event in the agricultural, construction, and groundcare industries, has been a firm fixture in enthusiasts' calendars since its inception in 1960. Held annually during the first week of February at the company's head office in Ulting, Essex, the Doe Show has evolved into the largest machinery dealer show in the UK, and quite possibly, in all of Europe. What sets the Doe Show apart is not only its rich history but also its continuous growth in both size and popularity. Drawing crowds from far and wide, the event has

become a pivotal platform for industry professionals, enthusiasts, and the general public alike. With each passing year, the Doe Show introduces new elements, reinforcing

its status as a must-attend event. One of the recent expansions to the show includes the introduction of the groundcare zone and a dedicated fruit and viticulture section. These additions reflect the dynamic nature of the industries, showcasing cuttingedge technologies and innovations. Attendees can explore over 150 trade stands, and the event is completely free, making the Doe Show an accessible and enjoyable experience for all. At the heart of the event are the extensive display areas dedicated to leading manufacturers. The show proudly features key industry names such as Case IH and New Holland, along with major manufacturers including Dalbo, Richard Western, Lemken, Horizon Agriculture, KRM, and Shelbourne Reynolds. The broad range of brands demonstrates the Doe Show's commitment to offering machinery for every application and setting. The showground itself is a vibrant hub, hosting a wide array of trade stands inside the main marquee. From essential farming machinery and equipment to BBQs, boots and bird scarers, visitors can see and buy the latest products available on the market. To enhance the overall experience, Ernest Doe provides

free entry, ample parking directly opposite the showground, and complimentary hot drinks and soup for all visitors and everyone is made very welcome. A true highlight of the Doe Show is the impressive machinery on display and in action. Enthusiasts can witness the latest models, including the New Holland T7.340 and New Holland T6 methane tractor, Case IH Optum AFS Connect, and Case IH Puma 260 CVX Drive, all demonstrating their capabilities. A whole marquee is dedicated to each of the two key tractor franchises – Case IH and New Holland – and you can see the full range of products available from these industry leading brands. There is also a vintage tractor demonstration area, where the beloved Doe Triple D takes center stage, adding a nostalgic touch to the cutting-edge lineup. Mark your calendars for the 7–9th February, as the Doe Show promises an unforgettable experience for everyone involved in or passionate about agriculture, construction, and groundcare. The 64th Doe Show truly stands as an event not to be missed, capturing the essence of innovation and tradition in the farming industry. FG

Working demo of beet harvester range announced for 2024 The celebrated biennial J Riley working demonstration will return in January 2024. The event will showcase the latest Vervaet beet harvester range at work, including turbine and rollerbed models, as well as the Riley Beet Chaser conversion. As part of J Riley’s 30th anniversary celebrations in 2024, an older Vervaet harvester will be running alongside its younger cousins. The comprehensive Vervaet range offers a solution for all soil types and demands, the company says. Combined with the option of Riley refurbished machines, there is something to suit every scenario from a farm lifting its own fodder beet through to the largest sugar beet contractor. A new lifter frame and lifting shares for

turbine-type machines will be shown in public for the first time. The new more open frame design affords the operator exceptional visibility across the shares. The new share leg design is simpler, with integral drive motor and gearbox assemblies between each pair of independently mounted share legs. This share arrangement was successfully trialled on multiple machines during the past five seasons and is already used on

Vervaet harvesters with the rollerbed primary cleaning system introduced in 2021. Demand for self-propelled beet chasers has been steadily increasing during recent beet campaigns. The Riley Beet Chaser 25, based on a refurbished Vervaet Beet Eater 625 or 925 harvester, has proven to be a very capable machine with numerous units now running in the UK. The most recent example will be in action at the demonstration. Jeremy Riley founded J Riley Beet Harvesters (UK) Ltd in 1994 to become the UK importer for Vervaet. The right machines, combined with Rileys’ first-class backup, made Vervaet the UK market leader, a position which has been retained for well over two decades. In recent years Jeremy retired and sold the business, which is now co-owned by Vervaet and managing director Matt Carse. The extraordinarily successful Vervaet 17t harvester was pivotal to this success, and an example will be working at the event to mark the occasion and demonstrate how harvesters have changed over the past 20 years. The Riley demonstration is an unmissable event for those with an involvement in sugar beet harvesting and the wider industry, as well as an enjoyable day out. Refreshments will include the highly-regarded hog roast prepared by NorthNorfolk butchers H.V. Graves. The event will be held in late January in the vicinity of the company’s premises near Attlebridge, Norfolk. The date and exact location will be announced nearer the time on the J Riley website and social media channels. FG

News Haulier praises quality of stepframe tippers Hire options available for 2024 growing season Catering for the growing market in multi-purpose, high-power tractors, Case IH has launched a new 340hp flagship model for its Optum range, maximising the award-winning Optum concept of a high power, low weight design that can be ballasted as required. For those who would like to try the 340 without the full commitment of a purchase, Ashbrook has a few hire options for the 2024 growing season. Despite multiple improvements, the Optum 340 CVXDrive with AFS Connect is no heavier than the existing 300 and 270 models, but provides more power, productivity, and the ability to handle any task, the manufacturer says. Manufactured at the Case IH factory in St. Valentin, Austria to stringent quality standards, Optum 340 CVXDrive is ideal for draft and

PTO applications, from tillage and seeding to mowing and transport. Delivering the highest levels of comfort and performance, it now has one of the quietest cabs on the market, Case IH claims. The six-cylinder, 6.7-litre Stage 5 FPT engine, delivers power and torque for demanding field and transport applications. Incorporating the highly effective and well-proven Hi-eSCR2 emissions reduction technology, thus supporting on farm emissions targets. Ashbrook tractor hire offers an excellent choice of Case IH tractors, and this new addition takes its range from 55hp up to 340hp, with a tractor to suit every farming system. Collection is available, nationwide, from your local Case IH dealer, meaning tractor hire has never been an easier and more cost-effective option. FG

Manor Farm & Storage has hailed the “reliability and robustness” of two new stepframe Smoothsider tipper trailers purchased from Fruehauf, in a deal which strengthens the haulage firm’s long relationship with the manufacturer. The 70 cubic yard capacity trailers are new additions to a mixed fleet of tippers that already includes four similar Fruehauf 68 cubic yard stepframes, with the first entering service in 2014. Director Paul Reilly, who runs the business with his father Chris, cites the trailer’s size and shape, as well as the quality of the finished product, as the biggest benefits. “It’s one of the strongest trailers on the market; they do a brilliant job transporting grain and aggregates. The Fruehauf trailer sits lower, improving stability on the road and enhancing its tipping capabilities,” he says.

Large baling contractors could be hit by plastic packaging tax Large-scale baling contractors could be at risk of fines from HMRC due to non-payment of the plastic packaging tax (PPT), with many unaware they are liable for it. The tax applies to manufacturers or importers to the UK of more than 10 tonnes a year of baler twine or netwrap – deemed by HMRC to be ‘packaging’. “At present, only three companies which fall into this bracket are registered with HMRC and pay the tax due,” says Graham Robson, technical manager at Tama Europe (one of the three companies). “All the others either refuse to recognise it, feel they are not liable for it or simply refuse to pay it.

“Worse still, some of these companies are actively advising their customers that such a tax is not required for the baler twine and netwrap they are selling them. This has a two-fold effect. Firstly, it could make their customers liable for the unpaid tax and secondly, creates an uneven playing field for companies

selling these products.” The £210.82/t tax adds about £4.20 to the cost of a 20kg pack of heavy twine and about £6.50 to a 3,000m roll of netwrap. Agricultural companies paying the PPT are, therefore, finding themselves at a competitive disadvantage to others who aren’t paying it, effectively penalising those who are abiding by the law. Some international twine and netwrap producers are taking steps to avoid the tax by working with UK-based sales ‘agents’, says Mr Robson. “These agents solicit orders for the product, which are sent directly to dealer customers from the factories, mostly in Portugal and Germany, and invoiced directly to the receiving customers, putting the onus to pay the PPT on them. “This makes the dealer directly liable for the tax. Similarly, large-scale baling contractors can easily order quantities of twine exceeding 10t in one season, making them, the end user, directly liable. “Many merchants or contractors, buying via a self-employed ‘agent’ on behalf of a manufacturer, are totally unaware of their responsibility and

legal duty to pay the tax.” Steve Price, head of agriculture at Zeus Packaging, which is paying the tax, has spoken to HMRC to clarify what is required. “Our understanding is that the tax covers netwrap and baler twine which are used for carriage and transportation; plastic used for fermentation like silage pit covers and bale wrap are exempt,” says Mr Price. Although he is bothered by the lack of clarity surrounding the tax, Robert Thornborrow, aftersales manager at Krone, is paying it. “It has not been made clear – I found out about it from a dealer,” he says. “The clarity and guidelines relating to the tax we found vague. The reasoning behind it and how it is being implemented are not clear. I have seen nothing public on this tax anywhere, or the implications for pricing. “We will pay it because we have to, but the farming community needs to be aware that it is another tax on a product they will buy. Companies not paying the tax are running a risk. Other companies that rely more than us on these products will be taking exception to it.” FG

Machinery and does a great job. “The Oliver Landpower JCB business is growing massively, and they are a key part of our dealer network for agricultural products. There are two full-time sales engineers who specialise in customer demonstrations – this dealer is a benchmark within the industry, and offers a superb customer sales experience and aftersales support.”

Great opportunity “We were already looking at expanding our JCB trading area when the opportunity to take on this area further east into Essex came along, so we really did grab it with both hands,” said Oliver Landpower managing director Charlie Glenister. “Recently, we also acquired LQG Agri in Warwickshire, and as well as allowing us to grow the business in the western region too, it gave us the introduction to Kuhn. “The JCB and Kuhn franchises work well together, allowing us to cater for the needs of all sizes and types of farms. We have our Country Stores at all the depots too, so customers can obtain all the essentials for their farms.”

Colchester open day marks dealer territory expansion An open day by Oliver Landpower Ltd in early November was a welcome opportunity for new and existing customers to view new facilities at Colchester and inspect the products on offer. David Williams was there. The site is on Severalls Industrial Park, just a short distance from the A12 and A120 main roads, ensuring convenient access for customers based across Essex. Investment in the new premises resulted from Oliver Landpower extending its trading area for JCB agricultural products, and additional main franchises served from Colchester include Kuhn, Sumo, Joskin, Larrington Trailers, Nugent, Chieftain and Hustler.

Sales, service and parts The premises includes a spacious showroom stocked with tools, parts and clothing as well as sales offices to accommodate the Colchesterbased team, and a deep, three-bay workshop with space for the largest machines plus service vans alongside. Oliver Landpower took over the Essex JCB trading area from a previous dealer in January this year, and the new depot has been in use

The workshop has plenty of space for large machinery, and for the open day it provided welcome shelter from intermittent showers.

Successful event

since March while construction work on the site continued.

Dealer benchmark JCB territory sales manager, Louise Hemmings described the new depot as very modern, fit for the purpose and with excellent access. “Oliver Landpower is a longestablished family business, like JCB. It’s a professional team and everyone understands customer expectations

Colchester office manager, Toni Collins declared the event a great success. “We were delighted by the support from new and existing customers, and feedback regarding the day was extremely positive. Our staff enjoyed it just as much as the visitors and reported many enquiries for new and used machinery, mainly from the JCB and Kuhn ranges, and we expect a busy start to next year as we satisfy requests for demonstrations.” FG

JCB is the main franchise. Pictured at the open day (l-r) are JCB territory manager, Louise Hemmings; sales director, Adrian Hewis; and office manager, Toni Collins.

Impressed by attitude

Well-stocked showroom

Stephen Wormell is a farmer and has a plant hire business. He operates two JCB Fastracs and has been dealing with Oliver Landpower since the new depot opened. “I know Toni from when she worked previously at another dealer in the the area, as well as other members of the team. “I’ve been reassured by the dealer’s attitude as everyone is clearly keen to support us. I’m at the open day to look at telehandlers as I already operate Loadalls and am considering an additional purchase.” Stephen is pictured in a Fastrac seat, while sales engineer Ollie Bickerdike explains some of the controls.

Essex mixed farm

The showroom and reception area are well stocked with protective clothing, parts and tools. There were special offers for open day visitors, and demand was strong for clothing, rodent control products as well as lighting products ready for winter. Parts counter team members are pictured (l-r) parts manager, Jonathan Wheatley; group parts manager, Nathan Bond; and parts advisor, Adrian Taylor.

Trading as Sell Farming and based just outside Basildon in Essex, the Sell family has a mixed farming enterprise on a mix of owned and rented land. Farmer Ben Sell was at the open day. “We operate a TM320S articulated wheeled loader which is used for our beef cattle and sheep enterprises. We have already spoken with the team here about potentially updating it next year and have been impressed by the scale of the depot which is much larger than we had expected.”

Kuhn appointment Oliver Landpower represents the Kuhn franchise from its new Colchester and Stratford-uponAvon depots, and Colchester has been selected as an authorised big baler centre. “There is a mix of diverse farming in the Essex trading area, and the team here has got off to an excellent start,” explained Kuhn tillage products specialist, Rupert Greest. “Two balers were available for demonstrations this season and attracted a lot of interest, while tillage machinery and drills have sold well too. “The full product line-up is offered to customers, and Kuhn is a perfect fit alongside the main JCB franchise. Although Oliver Landpower is a new name in this area, most customers have already heard of the dealer’s excellent reputation elsewhere. We look forward to supporting the sales and service teams as they grow the business.”

New depot fits well “The opening of the new depot in Colchester will work well for us,” explained Sumo export sales manager, Rob Shepherd who is pictured (left) at the open day with Oliver Landpower marketing manager, Alex Way. “We haven’t had representation in the south Essex area in recent years. “Within half an hour of the start of the open day the car park was full which just shows the strong support for this business in the area.” Rob said that the dealer represents Sumo at all its depots and sells large numbers of products. “Most is cultivation kit, but drills sell well too, and in this area there is strong demand for deep cultivators including our Trio and Quattro models.”

Ideal location Farm manager for Brett Vale Farming Company, Olly Pratt is pictured flanked by field sales manager, Will Cooper (left) and service foreman, Sean Josselyn. The enterprise includes an arable farm and land managed on whole farm contracting agreements. Olly said that he uses Kuhn ploughs and a power harrow, and he recently traded in a Fastrac 4220 which was five years old and had worked 5,000 hours for a new Fastrac of the same model but with the latest iCON controls. The Fastrac is used mainly for transporting crops to store, and for secondary cultivations where the ride comfort is an advantage when working down ploughed land. “We usually deal with Will Cooper for sales and Sean Josselyn for service,” he explained. “The new depot isn’t far from our base so the location will suit us well, and when we requested a demonstration, the team responded quickly.”

Fastrac and Loadall user Trading as Edward Hull Farms, farmer Edward Hull has a mixed farming enterprise which includes sheep, cattle and combinable crops. The farm operates from a base at Burnham-on-Crouch and 2,000ha of land is used for stock grazing across three counties, including over-wintered sheep feeding on stubble turnips. Over 2,000 head of cattle are fed all year round. Approximately 9,000 Hesston-size bales are needed each year and two JCB 532-70 Loadalls are used for handling tasks including loading grain lorries and bales, and are kept for two years and then changed. A JCB Fastrac pulls a livestock trailer in the winter and a bale chaser in the summer. “I get on well with JCB machines and like supporting a British company,” said Edward. “We have used JCB loaders for 30 years, and Fastracs since the 1990s. The company is always approachable and listens to customer comments. An example of that was when we wanted reversible fans on our Loadalls to prevent chaff accumulations in the cooling packs, and we were given prototype versions to trial.” Edward said he has dealt with Kevin at the Oliver Landpower Luton depot for many years. “I get on with him well. It’s very much a family business which looks after people. I’m pleased to have this new depot so conveniently located for our business.” Edward (back-left) is pictured with his wife Ann and their children (l-r) Zoe, James and Rhys, as well as Oliver Landpower field sales manager based at the Luton depot Kevin Ludgate.

Gull-wing trailers keep loads and other road users safe

New trailers with a clamshell load securing system have been chosen by a Lincolnshire vegetable and salad producer for their ability to secure and protect loads better than traditional straps and sheets. David Williams reports.

The trailers are manufactured by Lincolnshirebased Larrington Trailers. “I first thought of the idea after following a lorry loaded with straw bales along a motorway and seeing four lanes of traffic being showered with loose straw,” explained Richard Larrington. “Checking the regulations, it’s clear that allowing transported materials to escape and cause a nuisance to other travellers is against the law. “I designed an early version of the clamshell securing system, but didn’t market it at the time. However, I was recently contacted by Joe Bratley of R Bratley (Quadring) Ltd, who wanted agricultural trailers with a convenient and safe load securing system to transport his vegetables and salad crops. I suggested my gull-wing solution. Four trailers were ordered and delivered this autumn, and feedback from Joe as well as the trailer users has been entirely positive.”

Fully secure Richard’s gull-wing design features a pair of full-length, metal lattice, right-angle steel roof and side sections, with tarpaulin curtains on the outside. The sides are mounted separately on pivots at the top of the trailers, allowing them to be opened separately or together. The opening

and closing action is by a pair of double-acting hydraulic rams – one at the front and rear of the trailer for each side, and in the closed position the side panel is secured along its base the full length of trailer, rather than relying on the hydraulic rams. The trailers supplied so far are operated by the user from the cab, but trailer-mounted controls are an option. Richard explained that for situations where personnel other than the tractor operator might be present, then the external controls which require the user to stand by the trailer sides while they are opening and closing will provide extra safety.

Huge time savings Each of the four trailers has capacity for 20 standard wooden boxes. “The traditional method is for the tractor driver to leave the cab, sort out the straps and then secure each stack of four boxes separately,” suggested Richard. “Then, when the tractor reaches the yard he must leave the cab again to release the straps and stow them away ready for the trailer to be unloaded. With our gull-wing trailers; he just opens the side covers without leaving the cab while the trailer is loaded, then he closes the covers which secures the load and travels back to the yard, then opens the sides

from the cab again for the trailer to be unloaded. Using straps, securing and releasing the load takes up to 30 minutes per cycle, whereas the same task using our gull-wing trailers requires only six minutes.”

Crop quality the priority R Bratley (Quadring) Ltd, based near Spalding, is a specialist producer of Dutch White Cabbage, Red Cabbage and Pink Cabbage grown mainly for processing and salad packs, as well as potatoes and broccoli. Joe Bratley said that the trailers, which arrived in October, quickly improved his harvesting operation. “The main reason we wanted them was for cleanliness,” he stressed. “We have to harvest in a wide variety of conditions, and transporting produce in open-sided trailers risks contaminating the load with dust or mud from the field, and spray from the tractor wheels and other traffic on the road. Using trailers with enclosed tops and sides means there is no risk of this happening. “It also helps ensure produce quality. We apply a drench to cabbages as they are harvested, and all the time the boxes are outside on open trailers then there is a risk that the protective product will continued over…

be washed off by rain. We don’t have to worry about that happening, using the new trailers. This means the process is more relaxed with less rush to get crops back to the yard and into store. The enclosed trailers also provide a fair degree of frost protection, as well as shade from the sun and wind. By protecting the produce and keeping it as clean as possible from harvesting until it enters the stores means it keeps better, too.”

The Larrington Gull-wing trailers have lattice steel frame sides with tarpaulin curtains to secure and protect the load.

Loads are secure Joe commented that, without the tractor running it’s almost impossible to get to the load, and when higher value goods are carried then that’s a particular advantage. “Previously, loaded trailers had to be put away in buildings ready for unloading the next morning, but the new Larrington Gull-wing trailers can be left loaded in the yard overnight. People can’t see what is on board, and we don’t have to worry about the weather, unless it’s particularly cold.”

Not just for vegetable boxes

The sides are opened and closed for loading without the operator leaving the tractor cab. Time savings up to 80% are achieved during loading and unloading compared to using traditional straps.

Richard said that although most customer demand is likely to be for transporting loads such as potato, salad or vegetable boxes, the trailers are also ideal for moving goods on pallets, hay and straw bales, bags of seed or fertiliser, or even livestock such as poultry in crates. “The load is held securely in place, and protected from the weather as well as mud, spray and dust

contamination,” he said. “These trailers allow farmers and growers to fully comply with road transport regulations.”

Maximum safety Larrington Trailers offers its trailers in almost any colour. Joe specified bright orange for the trailers, and yellow for the canvas top and sides. “They spend a lot of time on the road, so we wanted them as obvious to other road users as possible,” he explained. “They have extremely bright lights too, for maximum safety.” Joe commented that he feels more confident knowing that his produce is being transported safely and can’t fall from the trailers. “Having these four trailers has really changed our operation for the better,” he confirmed. “Richard Larrington is an excellent engineer and a real pleasure to deal with. The trailers save a lot of time – they are safer, and our tractor operators are much happier not spending all day getting in and out of their cabs with muddy boots, to strap and unstrap loads in all weathers. “Our only issue now is that our staff want more of these trailers.”

Available for any size Richard said prices for tandem-axle Larrington Gull-wing trailers start at approximately £35,000, although the Bratley Quadring trailers pictured also feature additional LED lighting, triaxle running gear with rear-wheel steering, and pneumatic brakes. Any size trailer can be supplied with the gull-wing load protection system. FG

Hedges trimmed to perfection during Northamptonshire open day An open day by Attlefield Farm Machinery Ltd (AFM) at its Daventry base featured the latest Spearhead hedge cutters and attachments in action as well as static displays of rotary mowers and flails. David Williams attended the event. The open day, on a Saturday in late November, attracted customers from across the UK. The AFM team specialises in Spearhead products and, as well as keeping a large stock of spare parts available for immediate dispatch, they offer advice to potential and existing customers based on years of experience handling the brand.

Relationships the priority Attlefield Farm Machinery director, Henry White said he was very pleased with the attendance. “After a long period of wetter weather, we were lucky to have a mostly dry day for the event, during which people joined us from as far away as the Scottish Borders and Kent.

“For me, the priority was arranging a day for customers to meet other users and compare notes as to what works and what doesn’t, rather than being totally focused on sales. As well as local farmers and contractors, we have many customers a long distance from our base, so we rarely meet them in person and most of the contact is by phone. The relaxed open day and refreshments are just as much about thanking them for their business and spending time socialising as they are about selling the next machine.” Henry said that the family’s background as farmers in the UK and Poland means that they are aware when parts and accessory prices might seem too high. “We do our best to

Drain clearing appeal

keep prices reasonable, and if that means buying parts in bulk to achieve extra discount which we then pass on to customers, then that is what we do. Relationships with many customers elsewhere in the UK developed while we supplied them first just with parts. Then, because they trusted us to give honest advice and great back-up, they approached our team when new machines were needed too.”

Rotary cutting head demand growing Henry said there was a lot of interest in rotary cutting heads at the event, as users consider replacing flails. “Wherever possible then I try to use a rotary head now,” he explained. “They will cope with a lot more growth and remain in balance better than a flail when working in tough conditions.”

Annual event

The Spearhead Evergreen LF Alpha self-propelled hedge and verge cutter range includes five base models and a choice of 13 arm sets, of which the 9.7m version is most popular, explained Spearhead director of sales and marketing, Antony Prince. The three-piece arm makes it especially suitable for contractors working for drainage boards as it includes an excavator operating mode which allows its use with a weed cutting basket.

Henry confirmed that he intends the open day to be an annual event. “We are very lucky to receive such great support from our suppliers and customers,” he said. “Although we are in almost daily contact with several members of the Spearhead team, there are others who we meet more occasionally or only when we visit the factory. Because the open day was on

a Saturday this year, many of the office and warehouse-based employees could attend too, and they enjoyed seeing the machines in action and meeting customers who value their excellent back-up.”

Heavy-duty mowers Spearhead director of sales and marketing, Antony Prince said that along with the hedge and verge cutter range, heavy-duty rotary mowers are in strong demand. “The latest Multicut mowers feature a revised flat top which has been a game changer for ease of use and customer satisfaction,” he explained. “Customers are selecting our mowers for cover crop and stubble management to help break down organic matter and improve soil regeneration, as well as for traditional grass mowing. “There is growing interest in leaving stubbles longer behind the combine and putting less straw through the machine to increase working efficiency. Then the stubbles are cut very short using the rotary mower. This effectively destroys harmful insect habitats, and the chopped straw is spread far more evenly across the field than is possible behind a combine with a wide table.” FG

Rotary head preferred

Kent-based contractor Kent-based contractor, Will Clarke (pictured) maintains verges, central reservations and hedges along many of Kent’s main roads, including the M25. Trading as Direct Enviro Services, he operates a fleet of four Spearhead Twiga hedge cutters, including a Twiga Orbital model mounted on a JCB Fastrac which can work either side of the tractor. “The Spearhead Orbital ticks the health and safety boxes in terms of avoiding dazzling motorists with the tractor headlights when cutting central reservations at night,” explained Will. “We have been dealing with AFM since meeting Henry for the first time at his open day last year. I can’t fault the service when it comes to parts availability and pricing.” Two of the hedge cutters are on Valtra tractors and the fourth machine is a smaller model mounted on a Kubota. Three of Will’s machines were in action at the open day, two of which were on his own tractors and the other was on a Fendt borrowed for the occasion. Will has invested in Spearhead’s Autopilot and Autolevel functions for his machines. The tractors usually work with a front-mounted verge mower in conjunction with the Spearhead hedge cutter at the rear, and users can pay extra attention to the front mowing operation while Autopilot maintains the correct hedge cutter working angle. “Once set up then we can rely on it to adjust the angle as conditions alter,” he explained. “We have a new 7.2m Twiga Pro purchased this year, and when it is fully extended then any minor undulations affecting the tractor’s rear wheels create much greater movement at the cutting head. “I estimate that Autopilot helps us achieve at least 30% more output and our daily work rate has increased from an average of 12km to 17–20km per day.”

Trading as JH Kirkham & Sons, Matthew Kirkham offers a contract hedge and verge cutting service from his Southam, Warks base. “I changed from another brand to the Spearhead machine two years ago,” he explained. “My hedge cutter was due for updating and I was worried about the extra cutting workload as customers change from annual trimming to heavier pruning every two years, so I invested in a 5ft rotary cutting head instead of the flail. “It performs well and is much faster than the flail especially when there is a lot of material to cut back. This season, I replaced the blade bearings as a precaution, although even after a full year’s work; the originals still seemed fine, and we refitted the existing blades as they were barely worn.” Matthew also has the Autolevel head function, and he said it is an advantage when operating on undulating ground. “I’m quite traditional in that usually I prefer manual control, but if I’m working where the ground is very uneven then I use it to make the job easier. The rotary head helps too, as it rides over undulations including hidden gulleys where a flail would drop in. My workload has reduced slightly as farmers change to a two-year cutting regime, but when I need anything I know I can rely on the back up from Henry and the AFM team.”

Big advantage

Cuts both sides The Spearhead Twiga Orbital belongs to Kent-based Direct Enviro Services, and it can cut on either side of the tractor making it ideal for trimming central reservations on main roads.

The Spearhead Twiga Pro VFR65 belonging to Direct Enviro Services was fitted to a Fendt tractor for the event. Operator, Lee Hollands commented that the Autolevel function is a big advantage. “I used another brand of hedge cutter previously, and it’s much easier to obtain a good finish with the Spearhead machine. It’s extremely reliable and when we need any parts then the AFM team sends them quickly.”

} e l a s m r {fa High prices achieved at October dispersal sale

The sale, at Northwold near Thetford featured a wide variety of machinery and equipment from the Eyles family farm and engineering business, as well as ‘invited’ lots from other farms locally.

A dispersal sale at Northwold in south-east Norfolk, resulting from the retirement of the Eyles family from farming and engineering, featured a wide selection of extremely attractive lots which achieved excellent results for the vendors. David Williams was there. The sale was arranged by Brown & Co. “It was a pleasure to be instructed on such a genuine dispersal sale on behalf of the Eyles family who have now retired from active farming, with the farm currently on the market through our King's Lynn office,” explained Brown & Co partner and agri-business consultant, Simon Wearmouth. “The attraction was far and wide for this sale, which included all lots from the farming business of B A Eyles & Sons, in addition to the contents of the engineering workshop operated by brother

Steven Eyles on the farm. It was complemented by entered lots from local arable and livestock farmers.

Star attractions Lots which generated most interest were a Briggs Irrigation Pump, a 2010 Massey Ferguson 7480, a 2012 Claydon Hybrid 4.8m Drill, a 2003 Twose TS525 hedge cutter, a 2017 JCB 541-70 Agri-Pro handler, a Case 1845C Uni-Loader skid-steer, and a 2014 Ford Ranger XLT, as well as two vintage tractors – a 1956 International BTD6 Crawler and a

1963 Fordson Super Major. One of the included lots – a 1999 Fendt 515C tractor – also far exceeded expectations.

Buyers country-wide Lots sold found new homes across East Anglia and as far away as Cornwall, the Scottish Highlands, across to Kent and well into Wales. “The family was very happy with the results achieved and overwhelmed by the number of supporters and well-wishers at their sale,” confirmed Simon. FG

This set of vintage Avery balance scales with weights was in good condition and sold for £45.

This Fordson Super Major had been on the farm since it was new in 1963. It had a guarded flat-belt drive pulley, rear linkage and drawbar, and was on 12.4-11-36 rear tyres which had plenty of tread but were slightly perished. It still carried its JJ Wright & Son, Dereham dealer stickers and had recorded 9,527 hours. The winning bid was £5,000.

and make the most of the rumen buffer that gets the job done Maximise milk yield without the risk of SARA with OmyaFeed C MgO, a palatable rumen buffer made from finely ground natural minerals. It can be used as a preventative or curative solution for SARA in high-yielding dairy cows fed a high starch, low fibre diet. Just 130g of OmyaFeed C MgO per cow per day is required for effective rumen health, compared with more than double the amount of sodium bicarbonate/calcium carbonate mix. This saves money and creates space in the ration for further feed materials. OmyaFeed C MgO is very cost effective at under 7p/cow/day.

Animal health trends in 2023

As we come to the end of a strange year for weather, we take a look at the impacts on parasite burdens, as well as the wider animal health trends from the year, plus research breakthroughs and new advances. Sarah Kidby reports.

Parasite burdens It’s been a year of unpredictable weather patterns, which has had a knock-on impact for parasites – delaying peak seasons for liver fluke and worms. Cattle: Speaking on behalf of COWS, Professor Diana Williams of the University of Liverpool noted that a very dry cold spring, followed by a hot summer and very wet July and August, topped off by a mini heatwave in early September plus heavy rain – will all have impacted the levels and timing of the risks faced by grazing livestock this season. The final NADIS fluke forecast generally predicts a low to medium risk, with the usual exception of high-risk hotspots in Scotland. “This is almost certainly due to how dry it was at the start of the year. While recent months may have been ideal for the fluke and snail lifecycles, the total window for their development has still been relatively short.” She added: “The serum antibody ELISA test, which is done on blood samples taken from 10 individuals is an extremely valuable tool. Using this test, calves born in 2023 can be monitored to look for evidence of exposure to liver fluke. Repeated at regular intervals, testing like this reduces the risk of unnecessary or mistimed treatments. “Meanwhile, young cattle that have grazed on pastures used by other cattle during the last 12 months are likely to be at risk of roundworms. Encysted larvae of Ostertagia may also be a problem and a group 3 macrocyclic lactone (ML) treatment will cover for both of these, according to NADIS. “Consider leaving mite and lice treatment for now – this can be done later if they become a problem.” For more information, speak to a vet or visit www.cattleparasites.org. uk. AHDB has a useful table listing most of the available anti-parasitic products for use in cattle.

Sheep: Independent sheep consultant Lesley Stubbings said parasite activity has shifted by weeks or even months in some cases because of the weather conditions. Parasites are “very clever in that they will make up for what they lost earlier on once the conditions are right”. As well as delays to liver fluke, we didn’t see quite as many worm problems in the summer in some places, but they made an appearance in autumn and winter. Lesley added: “Because of the warmer, wetter winters, whereas a lot of the worm larvae would normally have been killed off during the winter, they’re actually surviving over the winter and coming back to bite us next spring.” It's important that sheep farmers don’t let their guard down with liver fluke and remain vigilant all winter. As we enter times of less and less predictability and changing weather patterns, testing is critical. On a recent SCOPS podcast focusing on liver fluke, one farmer said that in the worst situation, there was a fourmonth difference between when they would usually treat sheep for fluke, and when they actually needed to treat. “Since they started testing to time it, not only have they avoided using unnecessary treatments, but actually the sheep are better off because they are treating them at the right time,” Lesley explained. Whilst the frequency of testing will vary farm to farm and depend on conditions, a general rule is every 3–4 weeks. Additionally, the results are useful for giving you advance warning of where there’s likely to be a big challenge, especially when it comes to faecal egg counts, as it’s telling you how much contamination is going down onto that particular pasture at that time. “If there’s going to be a very highrisk pasture and you can avoid putting this year’s lambs on there in autumn, that’s going to have massive benefits,” she concluded. For more information or to check

out the SCOPS podcasts visit www. scops.org.uk

First BVD outbreak in 16 years The first case of BVD in England for 16 years was confirmed in Kent in November – and it was also the first case of new emerging serotype BTV-3. At the time of writing, a total of seven cases had been confirmed in Kent. The emerging strain, BTV-3, had prompted concern in the industry back in October as it spread rapidly in The Netherlands. The existing BTV-8 serotype vaccine will not offer cross

protection against the new strain, Dr Joseph Henry, president of the Sheep Veterinary Society, has warned. The Ruminant Health & Welfare group is advising a three-pronged approach: Buyer beware (source animals from Europe responsibly and request pre-movement testing); Take action (prioritise biosecurity and report any suspicious clinical signs) and Vigilance is key (monitor livestock closely). A dedicated bluetongue hotline launched to help farmers with advice and questions on the current situation – 024 7771 0386 (Monday– Friday, 9-5).

“Underestimated” zoonotic disease Dairy farmers with fertility issues in their herds are being encouraged to test for Q fever, after diagnostic data released by Ceva Animal Health in November showed 50% of herds tested for Q fever were positive. Despite being endemic in GB dairy herds for some years, Q fever has been historically underestimated and awareness of the disease is low among farmers and related industries. As well as being zoonotic, meaning it presents a potential continued over…

health risk to farmers and farming families, the disease can be a serious threat to productivity. In the chronic phase, signs reported in the Q test samples that tested positive included: infertility, abortions, metritis/ endometritis, retained placenta and pregnancy loss/stillborns/weak newborns.

Mastitis breakthrough Research recently identified a specific temperature pattern – three rapid temperature increases over a short period – which indicates the early onset of mastitis. This was identified through in-depth analysis of data collected through smaXtec’s health monitoring boluses. A cow’s inner body temperature increases up to four days before clinical symptoms of mastitis become visible. The new ‘level zero’ classification, the lowest in severity, is described as inflammation already being present but with a normal-appearing mammary gland and visibly normal milk. Identifying mastitis at level zero

before the somatic cell count (SCC) reaches pathological levels, allows producers to administer a preventative treatment, improving health and milk yields, and resulting in less antibiotic usage and less dumped milk.

Mannheimia and Pi3 would also be found. For the first time, MSD has launched a vaccine that specifically protects cattle against respiratory coronavirus – it’s due to be available in the UK in late December/early January.

Research sheds light on BCoV role in BRD

Zinc oxide update

Recent research by MSD Animal Health found that BCoV was the most prevalent virus found in routine disease screening and nasal swab samples taken during bovine respiratory disease outbreaks. It was found in 39% of more than 400 nasal swab samples taken between 2020 and 2022, from BRD-affected cattle on UK farms. Additionally, calf serology carried out on 59 UK farms with a history of BRD issues in 2021-2022 revealed 91.5% tested positive for BCoV. If BCoV was identified, it was also more likely that Mycoplasma,

Since the June 2022 ban on zinc oxide for preventing post weaning diarrhoea in piglets, time is running out to use up remaining supply by the June 2024 deadline. Plus, it’s unclear how much product is actually available, as feed mills are reluctant to be completely transparent, explained Toby Allcock, a vet at Garth Pig Practice. “Some producers have already run out or have little available. However, the majority still believe they have at least several months’ worth of stock remaining and some even think this will last into next summer.”

However, even beyond June 2024, Toby said there is talk of creating premixes with the zinc already included at this point, which could potentially add six months to the timeline. Those who still have access to zinc are “pretty much universally still using it”, he continued, and although alternative products have been brought to market, none are achieving the same effect at the same price-point. The farms dealing with removal best are those with the best facilities for pigs immediately post-weaning. Where producers have removed or reduced levels of zinc, there has been an impact on production, according to Toby. “Inevitably managing this will include the use of antibiotics but fortunately the increase so far has been fairly small. This may well change as more producers are forced to remove [zinc oxide].” FG

Reflecting on farming in 2023 With 2023 coming to a close, it’s the time of year to reflect on lessons learnt from the last 12 months. Stuart Wilkieson, Sam Coulson, and John Lack from Elta Group's agricultural brands answer some key questions on the trends seen.

Q

How were farmers able to take advantage of the FETF grant this year, and what would you like to see next year?

A: Stuart Wilkieson, Hydor

A: John Lack, technical sales

Q

engineer at ventilation specialist Hydor, said: “Farmers this year were able to apply for the FETF to help with the costs of various necessities such as new animal housing or ventilation solutions. “With many feeling the financial constraints of the cost-of-living crisis, we saw quite a few farmers source grants for our specialist equipment under the Animal Health and Welfare theme. […] Farmers could get a significant chunk of expenses covered through the grant. “Next year, we’d like to see the grant return again, but made even simpler given how busy farmers are. Our experts at Hydor and across all our agricultural brands can help those unsure on the process or what they qualify for.”

Avian influenza (AI), though less rife compared to 2022, is still potent. How can farmers continue to protect flocks? A: Sam Coulson, operations

Q

manager at poultry health supplier Bowden and Knights, said: “It is important that farmers implement robust biosecurity measures to safeguard their birds. Some key recommendations include using disposable or polycotton coveralls of CE type 5 and 6 and lightweight nitrile gloves. Rubber or polyurethane waterproof boots that can be disinfected after use are also advised.”

As climate change results in hotter summers, what can farmers do to protect their livestock?

Q

technical sales engineer said: “It is incredibly important that farmers prioritise protecting sheds against high temperatures such as those seen during the summer. A cool environment is vital which can be accomplished through a capable ventilation system. “Alongside this, farmers can also install evaporative cooling systems which pumps atomised water at high pressure into the area, forming a fine mist that evaporates when exposed to hot air. This can lower the indoor temperature by as much as 6–7°C.”

Moving into next year, what's next for Elta Group's agricultural brands? A: Stuart said: “2023 has shown that animal health is a top priority for both us and farmers. […] From ventilation systems that can help calves get the best start in life by helping prevent harmful diseases, through to disinfectants and consumables to ward off disease spread, and specialist cooling technology for poultry and other livestock, experts at Elta Group's agricultural brands are always on hand to find the correct solution to your issue. “As well as this, we’re committed to making farmers’ lives easier, so for busy farmers, you can also purchase products and fans directly through our eCommerce-ready site, All Agri.” For more information, visit: https://eltagroup.com/ agriculture/ FG

Feeding for lifetime performance As we approach this lambing season, maximising ewe health and lamb survival will be crucial – as rising input costs, along with challenging weather conditions throughout 2023, have put further pressure on margins. Rumenco offers some guidance. Neonatal lamb losses have significant financial implications, with each case costing approximately £25. Producers should be seeking to minimise these losses wherever possible, with a target of <5% lamb losses from birth to turnout (AHDB). Pre-lambing nutrition is a major contributor to flock profitability, with impacts on ewe health, lamb viability and even the future reproductive potential of lambs. The final six weeks of pregnancy places significant nutritional stress on the ewe as she prepares for lactation. During this period, exponential growth of the lambs restricts rumen size, causing a drop in feed intake of around 30%. At the same time, energy and protein requirements increase by approximately 60% and 35%. This year, we may see that feed intakes are challenged more than usual. Whilst forage stocks are plentiful, quality is largely reduced compared to previous years, with silage cuts being less digestible due to higher

levels of indigestible fibre, or lignin. This could increase the risk of issues such as twin lamb disease and hypocalcemia if diets are not supplemented appropriately. Undertaking a forage analysis to determine feeding value is very important. Table 1 demonstrates the impact of forage quality on the ability to meet a ewe’s energy requirement three weeks prior to lambing. Meeting energy and protein requirements during late pregnancy is vital to maintain body condition, support udder development, foetal growth and colostrum production. Even small deficiencies during this period can compromise colostrum and milk yield and the maternal bond; ultimately reducing lamb survival rates. A good supply of bypass protein, or DUP, is also important, with research showing this helps to increase colostrum quality (Amanlou, H, et al., 2011) and udder development.

Rumenco’s Lifeline Lamb & Ewe bucket is specifically formulated for feeding during the final six weeks of pregnancy. High levels of energy (13 ME) and protein (12%), including a good supply of by-pass protein, are included to support foetal growth, lambing ease and colostrum production. A good intake of immunoglobulins (IgG) from colostrum is essential to provide initial protection against infectious disease and is directly linked to lamb survival. Offering Lifeline Lamb & Ewe has been shown to increase colostrum IgG levels by up to 25% (Zinpro Performance Minerals).

Ensuring that the correct balance of minerals, vitamins and trace elements is provided during late pregnancy is also crucial to support lifetime health and performance. Selenium and vitamin E are particularly important for both ewe and lamb immune functioning and colostrum quality, whilst iodine and selenium are required for brown fat mobilisation. Lifeline Lamb & Ewe contains the full package of these vital nutrients. Complex carbohydrates mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) and beta glucans are also included to further support the ewe’s immune system so she can maximise nutrient partitioning into colostrum production. It also comes with the added benefit of Availa Zinc, a highly available, organic form of zinc proven to support lifetime performance. Feeding Availa Zinc in late pregnancy has been shown to increase milk yields in early lactation (Zinpro Performance Minerals), resulting in higher lamb growth rates in the first 10 weeks of life (Kegley, EB & Spears, JW., 1995). In farm trials, feeding Lifeline buckets containing Availa Zinc reduced neonatal lamb losses by 7.5% (Rumenco trial, 2020). Whatever quality forage is available, offering Lifeline Lamb & Ewe from four to six weeks prior to lambing will help to ensure a successful lambing season. Full references are available on request.

Livestock largely threefold: • Effects within the gut on the microbiome • Effects on the gut barrier itself, including sealing of tight junctions, increasing trans-epithelial electrical resistance (TEER), prevention of leaky gut syndrome, stimulation of local gut immunity and the release of natural antimicrobial substances such as, bacteriocins and more • Immunological effects in the gut, release of chemical signalling agents leading to heightened immunity in the gut mucosal barrier, and in other organs such as the lungs.

Keeping cattle healthy during winter housing Winter housing can be an incredibly stressful time for livestock. Elevated cortisone levels in stressed animals can have numerous potential harmful effects on the animal’s immune system. Amongst the major disease problems in housed cattle are pneumonia and calf scour. Vet and veterinary pharmacologist Dr Tom Barragry offers some guidance. Air quality Housing factors that lead to poor ventilation and stagnant air supply are often considered the primary reasons for high levels of pneumonia disease. Air space is just as crucial as floor area. Pneumonia is particularly common in housed animals but the disease can often be avoided if buildings are not overcrowded, are well ventilated and well drained, and animals of different age groups are not mixed. A continual flow of fresh air throughout a shed is important, but it is also necessary to keep draughts to a minimum to prevent cattle from getting respiratory infections. Building design should allow hot air to rise and exit, drawing in fresh air. This prevents the hot air remaining in the house, raising the humidity level, and then condensing to water, creating a wet and damp environment on the bedding which allows bacteria to flourish. In general, animals perform better in well ventilated sheds, as they are less likely to develop respiratory infections or pneumonia. Vaccination of calves and youngstock with pneumonia vaccines is a prerequisite, but vaccines can only reach their maximal effect if ventilation and air quality is optimum in the winter housing sheds. Vaccinations may take anywhere from five days to six weeks to become fully effective (depending on product used), so it is important to plan the housing date with this in mind. It is also important to vaccinate every animal in the herd. Provita Promist is a unique air purifier containing a blend of natural organic acids, essential oils and wetting agents which together

help control the levels of particulate matter, dust and reduce ammonia in the housing of intensively reared livestock. It can be used when new calves/cattle are introduced into houses, or during still weather conditions with stagnant airflow circulation, or until air flow improves in the shed. Promist can also be used daily in houses that have permanently poor air flow. It should be used above and around the cattle and will purify the air, the surfaces, and the animals. Its herb content will provide an expectorant effect helping to expel organisms from the respiratory tract. Farmers using Promist in the UK and Ireland have seen the following benefits: • An immediate and significant improvement, resulting in only 5% of calves needing an antibiotic, compared to 50% before • Improved calf vitality and health • Cattle breathe easier, are healthier and thriving better. Vet bills are reduced with less callouts and antibiotics needed • Another farmer said Promist is an integral part of their pneumonia prevention and is especially useful when mixing various batches of livestock.

Provita Protect is the only authorised, licensed and proven probiotic for calves on the UK and European market. It has been authorised for use in E. coli calf scour by the VMD on the basis of acceptance of its evidence-based field trial results, and its proven efficacy against E. coli scour in calves. In this regard, it is a unique probiotic. Feedback from five farmers on using Protect reveal that outbreaks of scour have not arisen since they started using the product.

Probiotic effects in calf field trials During clinical trials with Provita Protect the following results were documented in the Clinical Expert Report which was prepared for submission to the regulatory authorities, and which resulted in the successful registration and authorisation of the product. Results from calf field trials for product registration for Provita Protect: • 83% less incidence of calf scour • 70% less incidence of calf respiratory disease • 78% less incidence of scour and pneumonia • +31% increase in average daily gain (ADG) • +10% higher weights at weaning.

Cleaning range developed out of gap in the market

Taking a ‘little and often’ approach to scraping With the widespread use of cubicle mattresses, ‘little and often’ systems have grown in popularity, decreasing the overall amount of bedding material needed. With twice daily scraping now the norm on many farms, it’s easy to give beds two light coverings of sawdust. Scrapenser makes this a very easy one-person job, so the second person can quickly return to milking duties, says Ian Cleasby Agri. Bedding during milking times also has the benefit of freshly milked cows returning to newly cleaned cubicles with very low bacteria potential at a critical time post-milking. Scrapenser users have found that lime or other dry bedding conditioners can be added easily while loading the sawdust and spreads evenly to give a daily- or

twice-daily delivery. Adding lime has been found to significantly reduce bacteria counts in bedding for up to 24hrs. Quality of bedding material also has a significant effect on the success of the overall system, with kiln-dried sawdust being widely regarded to be worth its premium price due to the reduction of bacteria like Klebsiella – a leading cause of mastitis. Using cheap low-quality sawdust is likely to be a seriously false economy leading to dirty cows, higher levels of bacteria and mastitis. Abrasions on hocks in contact with bacteria can lead to hock and foot infections, lameness, and have been linked to infections causing abortions. FG

The Animal Health Company is a family run business based in North Essex, established by Nick Westcott in 1990. Nick had been working in the agricultural industry but saw a gap in the market to provide a quality cleaning range for kennels. He used his previous agricultural experience and set about producing a disinfectant and cleaning range. The kennel hygiene range is still a top seller for the company and is used in kennels up and down the country, including on farms that have diversified into offering on-site kennels. Nick’s son Paul joined the company as the product ranges and

volumes were expanding fast, and he now runs the company with his wife Jennie, whilst Nick enjoys his retirement. Although it’s a small team of six, nearly everyone can do all the jobs in the business. Jennie says that this is vital in a small team, to ensure the smooth running of the business. The company has products for farm dogs, horses, chickens and pets. The equine range’s top seller is ‘NoBute the original’, which is a range of Devil’s Claw herbal joint care for horses.

Diverse speakers and new launches at Dairy-Tech ‘24

Dairy-Tech will return to Stoneleigh Park this year with 80 new product launches and a diverse range of talks on technology, net zero, driving down disease, and grants and funding available from Defra. Visitors will also see a brand new training area. Dairy-Tech is a leading industry event for showcasing new products, innovation and ground-breaking technology. It’s set to take place on Wednesday 7th February, 2024 at Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire. With over 80 new products, services and concepts being showcased, the

event will be jam-packed with the latest technology and innovation on the market, with something for everyone when it comes to dairy businesses, organisers say. Technology giant Google will open the Dairy Hub with a keynote address, looking at future consumer

dynamics, what changes we’re likely to see, and answering questions around why it’s so important for businesses to stay aligned with the ever-changing needs and requirements of the consumer. Other top experts will feature on the Dairy Hub throughout the day to discuss the environment and ways of achieving carbon neutrality, the role of diversity in agriculture and a Dairy Market Update debate, hosted by Chris Walkland. The Dairy Hub will also host Hilary Curnow, agriculture counsellor, New Zealand High Commission, who will detail New Zealand’s journey to net zero and how it compares to what we are doing, and the progress we are making, in the UK. As part of this year’s session on animal health and welfare, Defra’s policy lead Martin Jenkins will give a government update on driving down disease, talking alongside dairy farmer Charles Goadby and vet Graeme Fowlie, who will be able to offer practical on-farm advice on the topic. For the first time this session will conclude with the presentation of an RABDF Farm Health Management Award – a competition open to vet and agricultural students, based on proactive farm health management practices.

The Innovation Hub will cover a host of topics this year, including onfarm diagnostic testing for mastitis and how exceptionally specific data, which has been matched against genomic samples, is able to provide highly accurate selection and culling decisions. As part of Defra’s Farming Investment Fund, there will be a session explaining some of the current grants available for those investing in technology, infrastructure and equipment. With lameness continuing to be a priority of Defra’s Animal Health and Welfare Pathway, Dairy-Tech welcomes back its newly branded Healthy Feet Zone in Hall 2a. Brand new for this year’s event, organisers have teamed up with training provider LANTRA to offer a training area. Located just inside the indoor area of the main event, there will be demonstrations focusing on topics such as farm safety and livestock handling. All visitor tickets booked in advance are sold at a discounted rate of £20, with free tickets, and further concessions, for RABDF members. Tickets purchased on the gate are £25. Discounted tickets are also available for students and young farmers. Further information available at www.dairy-tech.uk or office@rabdf.co.uk FG

Getting the best out of silages for winter feeding After putting effort and resource into making silage, it’s important to get the value back out as a winter feed source. To maximise the benefits, check the level of nutrients available in the silage and use that information to work out a ration for optimal yields and good health, and potentially save on additional feed costs. Forage Analysis Assurance (FAA) Group members are focused on providing the best possible analytical results for naturally variable silage material. They take part in proficiency tests to ensure quality and consistency of forage analysis results so that farmers and feed advisers can use those results with confidence in developing rations. The Feed Adviser Register is a list of trained professionals providing advice for feeding dairy, beef, sheep, pigs, poultry and game. For example, FAR advisers can help dairy farmers to implement the best feed regime, reduce emissions and optimise milk output and quality. You can find out more about FAR, training and how to find a

Don’t let SARA spoil your new year: watch out for key symptoms In the UK it is estimated that a quarter of high yielding dairy cows suffer from sub-acute ruminal acidosis (SARA). David Bonsall, animal nutrition technical manager at Omya says it gets worse over the winter when a large percentage of the UK herd is housed, but there are management changes farmers can make to prevent and cure it. “Ideally SARA should be minimised and when recognised acted upon quickly,” he says. “Often the most noticeable symptom is a loss of appetite leading to poor body condition which of course adds its own complications. Cows with SARA also tend to scour so changes in dung consistency should be noted. The other big issue is lameness, locomotion issues due to sole ulcers and bruising are often seen and one of the causes may be SARA.” SARA is caused by the accumulation of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) in the rumen. As concentrate is fermented in the rumen volatile fatty acids are produced. If this happens quickly, as it does with high sugar and starch rations, then the pH in the rumen drops. An animal is said to be suffering from SARA if the pH stays low (between 5.2 and 6) for a prolonged period each day. “The cows most at risk of SARA are those fed on high concentrate

diets for higher yields,” David explains. “These are often housed, high yielding herds, but any diet high in sugar and low in fiber causes a risk – even spring grass can be an issue. Farmers who are aware of this risk will be vigilant for the symptoms, but it is possible to protect against SARA with very little cost or impact on feed management. OmyaFeed C MgO is an advanced formulation feed supplement which costs less than 7p per cow per day and will prevent SARA in healthy cows and cure it in those suffering with it.” OmyaFeed C MgO is a compacted product made from micronized ground calcium carbonate and magnesium oxide. In independent trials comparing the efficacy of OmyaFeed C MgO with a standard sodium bicarbonate mix, scientists found that cows supplemented with OmyaFeed C MgO spent fewer hours per day with rumen pH

below 5.8 than those fed with the standard mix. Milk proteins were higher, giving a better fat:protein ratio and yields and fat content were unaffected. “Many farmers use sodium bicarbonate as a rumen buffer,” says David. “But there are a couple of issues that farmers should be aware of. Firstly, sodium bicarbonate has to be fed at high rates, perhaps 250g per cow per day, and secondly, it doesn’t provide any long-term buffering effect because it is so soluble. OmyaFeed C MgO is fed in much smaller doses and buffers the rumen pH to the correct level enabling fibre digesting bacteria in the rumen to perform well.” OmyaFeed C MgO offers a costeffective replacement for standard sodium bicarbonate mixes because only 130g per cow per day is required to keep SARA at bay. This leaves space in the ration for either other foodstuffs or to allow an overall cost reduction for the farmer. As well as rumen buffering, it provides essential calcium and magnesium nutrition. “Another key benefit of OmyaFeed C MgO is its readily available supply of calcium and magnesium,” confirms David. “These are particularly important

nutrients for dairy cows, given that each litre of milk contains 1.2g of calcium and magnesium is essential for many physiological processes including milk fat production. Trials have shown that absorption of calcium and magnesium is more efficient with OmyaFeed C MgO, up to 60% more for magnesium compared with the standard mix.” OmyaFeed C MgO delivers the same or better performance as a standard sodium bicarbonate mix but at a lower cost. “At less than 7p per cow per day, OmyaFeed C MgO offers a great opportunity for farmers to manage the welfare of their herd at the same time as improving their own profitability,” concludes David. “Because it’s a compacted product, it’s low in dust and can be mixed easily in the ration without settling. Farmers can add it to either concentrated feed or to silage, making it very easy to feed. There’s no reason why cows need to suffer from SARA these days, when curing and preventing it is this straightforward.” OmyaFeed C MgO is available in the UK and Europe and can be purchased as a straight supplement by farmers or in blends from selected distributors.

Livestock on hand for when supplementation is required.”

Opportunities for improved colostrum management

Colostrum guidelines at calving for short and long-term payoffs

Full of protein, fat and antibodies, maternal colostrum delivers newborn calves with a super-shot of energy and immunity support that carry both short and long-term benefits, says Emily Hall. “The thick, creamy consistency of colostrum is from its high fat content. This provides calves with a rich energy source which allows them to maintain their body temperature and bodily functions,” she says. Antibodies from the dam’s immune system uplift a calf’s immune response in the first weeks of life as its own immune system starts to develop. Known as passive transfer, this requires maternal colostrum to contain an adequate level of IgG antibodies that are fed quickly after birth and in the right quantities. “For successful passive transfer of IgG antibodies, maternal colostrum quality needs to be a minimum of 50g/l IgG, which equates to 22 Brix when measured with a refractometer,” explains Emily. Multiple maternal colostrum feedings within the first 12 hours of life are critical to ensure IgG molecules are absorbed by the small intestine and delivered to the blood supply. Per industry guidelines, calves should receive a minimum of three litres within the first two hours of life and additional 3–4 litres within 6–12 hours of birth – for a total of 6–7 litres of high quality colostrum within its first 12 hours of life.

“To fully capture the immune response benefits, the right amount of high-quality maternal colostrum must be fed as soon as possible post-birth,” says Emily. “Doing so will not only boost the immune response in those critical first weeks of life, but it will also set calves up to have a healthier lifetime.”

What to look for in a colostrum powder When a dam’s colostrum is low in quality or low in quantity, supplementation is required. To best support calves with protective antibodies from the farm where it was born, Emily recommends maternal dam colostrum from a cow on the same farm. When it is not available or is going to take too long to thaw out for the first feed, she recommends supplementing with a high quality, full fat colostrum powder like Nettex’s Calf Colostrum Gold. Sourced exclusively from TB and EBL free herds in the UK, the production process for Calf Colostrum Gold makes it a close substitute for maternal dam colostrum. “Raw colostrum collected from high health status farms in the UK is frozen at the source and then dried using a unique process preserving all of the components of natural colostrum. This produces a unique, high quality colostrum product high in protein, colostral fat and growth

factors as well as being tested for both safety and efficacy,” explains Emily. This process also results in a colostrum powder that is consistent, easy to mix and easy to use. “Easy to mix, Calf Colostrum Gold has a similar consistency and colour to maternal dam colostrum. This is the next best option to maternal dam colostrum and is a great tool to have

Emily Hall, livestock farmer and product manager for Nettex discusses key colostrum targets and what to look for in a colostrum powder when supplementation is needed.

There is a huge opportunity for both dairy and beef farmers to improve the short and long-term health and performance of their herds with better colostrum management, according to Emily. Industry research has found 61% of dairy calves and 20% of suckler calves left to suckle the dam for colostrum did not receive enough IgG antibodies for successful passive transfer. Data also shows that 20–25% of calves don’t feed from the dam within the first eight hours of life and few consume enough colostrum within the peak absorption window. “The combination of nutrients and antibodies in maternal colostrum will benefit the lifetime health and performance in calves when received in the right quantities and right quality post-birth,” concludes Emily. “Many cattle farms will benefit from stepping up colostrum management protocols to test colostrum quality with a refractometer and to feed colostrum with a bottle rather than relying on calves to suckle the dam to ensure these critical targets are met.” FG

Pen-side diagnostics take mastitis treatment to the next level Selective treatment of clinical mastitis (STCM) is becoming increasingly popular and offers a range of benefits. STCM is based on testing at the point of mastitis diagnosis to determine the likely bacterial pathogen involved. Although all severe or toxic cases should be treated immediately along with a non-steroidal antiinflammatory (NSAID), an invited review paper published this year (Ellen de Jong et al) concluded that no economic losses or animal welfare issues are expected when adopting a selective vs blanket clinical mastitis treatment protocol in mild to moderate cases. The idea is that gram-positive mastitis cases are treated with a targeted antibiotic therapy (narrow spectrum), whereas gram-negative bacterial infections, which are most commonly E coli, do not always need to be treated with antibiotics because they are more likely to selfcure. In all cases of clinical mastitis, NSAID treatment should be offered. At a recent vet meeting organised

by Zoetis, vet Dr Jude Roberts from Map of Ag explained: “Testing is not only important for the responsible use of antibiotics, but targeted antibiotic therapy may also result in an increased proportion of the EMA Category D narrow spectrum antibiotics being used. Targeting mastitis therapy may also help to improve cure rates. “Selective treatment of clinical mastitis on a farm may reduce the risk of antibiotic milk residue failures, result in fewer cows under milk withdrawal and could reduce overall antibiotic use, which can only go to help the farmers’ bottom line.” For vets and farmers to be able to target antibiotic treatment, spotting early clinical signs of mastitis and then testing those animals using new, on-farm rapid diagnostic tests is essential. Clinical signs of mastitis include: • Clots in milk • Watery milk

Saving time on labour-intensive chores Blaney offers a range of solutions, designed and made in the UK, to save time and money when feeding round-baled silage. The Forager X10 bale unroller has evolved over the years to incorporate a host of improvements. It saves hours of daily back-breaking labour and reduces bale waste by around 20%, Blaney says. • Forager X10L: This special loader/telehandler version means high stacked bales are

• Blood in milk • Swollen or hot udder • Pain in teat or udder • Sick cow. Other information available on farm, such as conductivity, yield difference, inbuilt automated milk machine algorithms and California Mastitis testing, may also be used to help spot a suspected mastitis case early. Zoetis vet Colin Penny said: “Zoetis has developed a rapid on-farm mastitis diagnostic test, Vetscan Mastigram+, which will detect gram-positive mastitis cases in just eight hours – the time between two milkings. This means a farmer can take a milk sample at the morning milking in a suspect cow, and by the afternoon milking, they will know whether gram-positive bacteria are involved and will be able to target treatment to only those with gram-positive results using a narrow spectrum antibiotic. “Non-gram-positive test results can give the farmer confidence to withhold antibiotic treatment

and observe the cow carefully for evidence of self-cure with only NSAID supportive therapy. “Vetscan Mastigram+ will be a useful tool to support more selective treatment of clinical mastitis as part of a planned mastitis control programme with your vet.” The test has 99% sensitivity and 100% specificity, allowing farmers to treat the animal within the same day with an accurate targeted approach.

Healthy cows as the foundation of farm success

Healthy cows are at the heart of a successful dairy farm, enabling more sustainable production and animal welfare. Early disease detection and precise monitoring are essential for animal health and farm management. In modern agriculture, animal health plays a critical role in the success of a dairy farm. However, as herd size increases, it becomes increasingly challenging to keep track of each cow's health. Even the most dedicated animal owners have had to rely on visible abnormalities, and thus precise

and time-consuming observation, to detect emerging diseases. But externally visible symptoms often only become apparent when it is already too late for effective prevention. smaXtec says its health system allows dairy farms to detect diseases at an early stage – long before

externally visible symptoms or changes in feeding and ruminating behaviour. In this way, it enables preventive action and proactive control. The system revolutionises the way animal owners manage the health of their cows, smaXtec says. The unique bolus technology measures directly from inside the cow, capturing precise data on each cow's internal body temperature, drinking behaviour, rumination based on rumen contractions and activity. This information provides valuable insights into animal health and allows early identification of diseases. For example, farmers can detect mastitis up to four days before visible symptoms appear. If the system notices any symptoms, they immediately receive an alarm on their mobile phone or desktop computer. In this early phase, milder remedies such as anti-inflammatory medications are often sufficient to prevent severe cases. For the farms, this leads to less use of antibiotics and no waiting times or milk losses. smaXtec says that

what makes its system unique is the ground-breaking bolus technology that allows data to be obtained directly from inside the cow. Valuable health data such as internal body temperature or water intake can be measured. This unique approach provides farmers with insights into health and behaviour that were previously hidden from them. The combination of precise measurements and early reporting makes smaXtec an indispensable partner for preventive animal health and optimised farm management, the company reckons. The efficient use of the smaXtec system opens up new areas of action for farmers. Thus, smaXtec changes the way farmers manage animal health – early, effectively and future-oriented. FG

How to choose the right maize variety Correct varietal choice is the first step towards achieving a successful maize harvest. Andrew Cook of seed breeder, KWS, offers some advice on narrowing down the options. Livestock: Unpredictable weather patterns have increased the focus on a timely harvest and early varieties may be advantageous, depending on farm location, says Mr Cook. “Early varieties used to be associated with a yield penalty, but genetic progress means that current earlies can match, or even exceed, mainstream maize variety yields. They have the advantage of requiring only 130 days to reach maturity, compared with a standard figure of 160 days.

This feature will allow the flexibility of later planting, which will give the soil more time to warm up to optimum temperature in the spring.” Most dairy farms feed maize silage as part of a total mixed ration (TMR) and this will affect varietal choices, he says. “The level of maize silage inclusion in a TMR has risen from roughly 50%, to 65%-plus in recent years. Modern maize hybrids with an FAO of 170 and below can be safely

Always finishes on time!

fed to cattle at high rates. “For maize silage to fulfil its reputation as ‘rocket fuel’ for dairy cow productivity, it may be advisable to opt for average starch figures of 30%-plus. These can also be a useful addition for beef cattle diets, especially in the final one third of the finishing period.” Energy crops: High yields are the main priority for energy crop growers, with large holdings also looking to spread drilling and harvest dates, he comments. “An FAO, or maturity rating, of above 200 will generally be required for maximum yield potential and this will reduce growing costs per dry matter tonne, which is another important factor. “Nevertheless, the earlymaturing qualities of varieties with an FAO of below 200 can help to spread the workload. As a general recommendation, a 20% inclusion

of early varieties will suit growers managing extensive acreages.” The KWS Maize Variety Portfolio 2024 is packed with information to help with varietal choice, with each variety accompanied by icons to indicate end use, he adds. The company website also contains a handy online tool for calculating seed rates. It is available free of charge, with growers entering their target plant density, crop area and planned row spacing to calculate seed volume requirements. Mr Cook explains: “The seed rate tool allows the user to enter a range of differing parameters to manipulate the results. This is invaluable for working out the effect of changing row spacings, for example, as well as for calculating seed requirements. Under normal conditions, a 95% field emergence should be assumed.” Find the 2024 KWS variety portfolio and the maize seed rate calculator at www.kws-uk.com FG

Livestock Stay safe with a well-designed crush

Good, wellmaintained handling facilities are key for safety Handling cattle and other livestock always comes with the risk of injury. Eight people died as a result of being injured by an animal in 202223, according to HSE figures. And many are injured each year with broken bones or crushed and mashed limbs. Ensure there are proper, wellmaintained handling facilities, including holding pens and race, and a crush that is in good working order. Makeshift gates and hurdles will result in less efficient handling and present a risk of injury. Yellow Wellies offers guidance on choosing the right crush: • Crushes should have a selflocking front gate so the animal’s head can be held firmly. Additional head bars prevent the animal tossing its head up. A rump rail, chain or bar minimises forward and

backward movement of the animal, so make sure this is always used Secure the crush to the ground or, if mobile, to a vehicle. You should be able to work safely around it without risk of contact with other animals, and there must be good natural or artificial lighting Gates should also open smoothly with minimum effort and noise, and the crush floor should be slip resistant, made of sound hardwood bolted in place, metal chequer-plate or a rubber mat over the base. Specialised tasks such as belly or foot trimming require a purpose-designed crush. FG

A well-designed, well-built cattle crush is important, particularly since HSE research suggests 47% of injuries from cattle are due to inadequate facilities. JT Universal, based in Leyburn, offers a stand-alone squeeze with a standard crush frame mounted on a self-supporting base, which can be moved with a loader. The rear archway locks in place to support the frame while working, and the squeeze front with hydraulic top leg winches for securing the cow’s legs. Meanwhile, the company’s static squeeze crush has a standard squeeze cage on a bolt-down base, with a boltdown backing gate.

Both crushes are galvanised steel and come with a 240v hydraulic power pack which can be wall mounted. The company also offers an IVAapproved, galvanised steel contractor trailer which can be made for left or right operation. It has four heavy-duty aluminium hurdles with a centre gate, all carried by the trailer, and dual hydraulic system with 240v and 24c on demand. JT Universal has been trading for over 45 years, specialising in agricultural engineering and custom-built cattle crushes. FG

New liquid NPKS range boosts crop yield and quality A new addition to Omex’s NPKS liquid fertiliser range is offering enhanced yields and quality, as well as reducing fertiliser inputs. Omex Agriculture says it is the UK’s largest liquid and solution fertiliser company, with infrastructure stretching the entire length and breadth of the country. It has enjoyed consistent and unrivalled growth over the last few years – largely as a result of growers switching to liquids from straight granular and blended fertilisers, and thanks to the quality and service it’s able to offer, the company says. Further additions to the company’s product range include a new specialised and premium quality NPKS liquid fertiliser range called Multiflo. Technically engineered by a team of specialists at Omex, the Multiflo range can enhance yield and quality and reduce fertiliser inputs. “The Multiflo range of grades includes NPs, NKs and NPKs, which are all available with sulphur,” says Omex’s commercial director, Rob Burton. “Multiflo also offers accurate, easy application in all seasons, with a choice of formulations for precision nutrition. “With farmers all over the British Isles having already identified the benefits brought by our Nitroflo range of liquid nitrogen fertilisers, in terms of yield and quality benefits and unrivalled application accuracy, we are confident that the

NPKS Multiflo range will also bring further sustainable, agronomic and economical benefits throughout a crop’s lifecycle.”

Soluble P Omex prides itself on producing science led solutions for its existing and new customers, and in particular an excellent choice of soluble P. Phosphate is a key constituent in getting crops off to the best start possible, says Omex technical development manager David Booty (left). “It plays a

It plays a pivotal role in boosting root development – essential during the early stages of crop establishment. pivotal role in boosting root development – essential during the early stages of crop establishment – which in turn drives plant health and ultimately yield and quality. “Unlike traditional granular forms

of P, Multiflo is 100% water soluble which is significantly higher than any alternative in the marketplace currently.”

Trials show yield and quality benefits Multiflo offers farmers a more sustainable choice of NPKS fertiliser, as Omex managing director, Sam Bell (pictured below) explains. “The whole agricultural industry is under increasing pressure to improve efficiency, and particularly farmers who are tasked with growing crops more sustainably and in a more environmentally acceptable way. To help our customers achieve these objectives and goals we have committed significant financial resource and intellectual energy to develop and launch to the market, the Multiflo range. “Liquids and solution fertilisers allow farmers to apply right up to the field margin, giving unrivalled accuracy against granules,” she adds. “Numerous Omex and independent trials have shown the agronomic benefit to applying our liquid fertiliser products over an equivalent granular option. The quality of materials within Multiflo has enabled farmers to maximise gross margin by boosting crop yield and quality.” Where Multiflo was applied on a seedbed potato trial, a £138/ha benefit was recorded

and in a salad potato trial, a 6t/ha yield increase,” explains David.

Practical solutions But it is not just in the field where the benefits of Multiflo are being realised. The new range of liquid NPKS fertilisers also offer practical solutions to many daily challenges faced by farmers. Liquid fertiliser application is now a one-person operation and it offers an easy, safe handling for the operator, with no heavy bag lifting or cutting. As Mr Burton explains, there is also no bag disposal making for a much more eco-friendly fertiliser regime, which negates the need for plastic packaging. Storage is more efficient too and requires a tank storage, freeing up valuable indoor storage space for diversification or alternative use. Omex’s tank team will assist in establishing the best plan for farms. To ensure farmers are utilising the Multiflo liquid NPKS fertiliser range effectively, Omex offers FACTS-qualified advice, nationally. Its team of national fertiliser advisors has an extensive knowledge of the industry, offering local insights into the most effective programmes for farmers. This knowledge, combined with the company’s ongoing R&D effort, continues to offer a scientific approach to agriculture. FG

All-new trailed combi spreader available in spring 2024 LAMMA 2024 sees the introduction of the new trailed ZG-TX combi spreader from Amazone – aimed at growers and contractors who are looking to do both bulk powders and granular material. The ZG-TX offers both precise fertiliser spreading up to 54m along with an accurate application of lime up to 16m. The chassis is offered in two formats, the ZG-TX Special, in hopper capacities up to 9,000 litres, and the ZG-TX Super capable of carrying up to 11,200 litres. Clever drawbar design and axle mounting position keeps the minimum load on the axle and plenty of weight on the tractor to ensure minimal soil compaction and maximum traction. Axle steering prevent crop damage on the headland turns. The material to be spread is conveyed rearwards using

the well-known, self-centring, self-adjusting belt floor as found in the ZG-TS. The belt slopes upwards to the rear to again keep material at the front of the spread to improve stability and weight distribution. There is easy access to the hopper via the front-loading platform and a hydraulically actuated rollover cover keeps the hopper contents clean and dry. Handy shovel and brush holders are provided for quick change round. The spreading mechanism is PTO-driven to ensure full performance when spreading high rates of lime, drive to the spreading discs goes through the torque-sensing FlowControl

Now here’s an idea A spreader that’s so advanced it maximises every £ you spend on fertiliser

system to offer immediate, constant calibration and blockage detection. When spreading granular fertiliser to wide widths, accuracy is maintained using the proven TS spreading system found on the ZA-TS and ZG-TS spreaders. Fertiliser from the belt floor is deposited into a reception hopper which includes the adjustable delivery point and high-rate on/ off shutter usually found on the TS models. The TS spreading system means that automatic section control in 16 sections is available, as is the AutoTS boundary spreading system. The highly-accurate AutoTS border spreading system for granular fertilisers gives a sharp, full-rate cut off right up to the field edge and is carried out at the press of a button in the cab, or automatically using GPS ScenarioControl. For lime, a hydraulically-actuated deflector is dropped down on the move into the spread fan to stop material passing outside of the field boundary. The spreading function is controlled either via an Isobus terminal for fully automatic spreading and maximum comfort and flexibility, or via the EasySet 2 in-cab controller for simple rate control and manual on/off. Conversion to lime is quick and easy and takes less than 30 minutes, the sieves are folded up out of the way to maintain lime flow, the chain rake is dropped down to keep the bulk material evenly spread over the full belt width and the spreading discs are switched. Between lime and fertiliser, the electrically-actuated delivery system is replaced by the simple lime chute. The ZG-TX will be available in spring 2024. FG

Although we take the exceptional output of the ZA-TS range of fertiliser spreaders for granted, it’s the accuracy that counts more and the unique AutoTS gives you at least 17% more yield around the hedge side than any other boundary spreading systems available – but don’t take our word for it; take a look at the independent Innovation Farm trials results. All this means that you maximise your cropped area to the full and you get more produce in the barn! Amazone - future ideas that work for you.

New headland system and Isobus update A new headland system, specifically designed for those spreading at the wider working widths is now available for all M-Line spreaders from KRM. The system works on all machines supplied with Dynamic Section Control spreading at 27m or wider. It uses the Dynamic actuators and down chutes to adjust the spread pattern from in-field to headland. This can be done on the move without the need to stop the PTO or change the direction of disc rotation. Furthermore the operator can select left hand or right hand,

allowing the headland to be spread clockwise or anti-clockwise to suit the field topography etc. The system has three modes which the operator can select from the cab – standard, maximum and minimum. This change to quantity and PTO speed can tailor the spread pattern to give maximum yield at the border or minimum quantity beyond the border. As this system uses the existing Calibrator Totz Control Box or Isobus alongside the Dynamic Section Control system, existing customers who have these options can upgrade to the new system simply by downloading the latest software version. Those with Isobus will also benefit from the revised Isobus layout which is even more intuitive and easy to use, KRM says. Settings such as rate, width, field etc can now all be set directly from the home screen. As always, these software updates are free. FG

Reducing ammonia emissions Urea is not readily plant available and first needs to be converted into ammonium. This is done by urease enzymes in the soil that bind to the urea. Without sufficient rainfall post application, the ammonium concentration around the urea granules increases, leading to a localised increase in soil pH. This converts the ammonium to ammonia gas. Urease enzymes are extracellular and ubiquitous in the soil. Urease inhibitors temporarily bind to these enzymes, preventing the localised pH spike and reducing the losses of ammonia. However, different urease enzymes require different urease inhibitors. Limus from BASF is the only urease inhibitor available with two active ingredients (NBPT and NPPT), enabling it to bind to a wider variety of urease enzymes and more effectively minimise losses. It is available as Limus protected, granular urea and as Limus Perform – a standalone product for use with liquid fertilisers (UAN). Benefits of Limus include: • Reduces ammonia emissions by up to 98% • Increases application timing flexibility

• Improves yield by 5% vs. standard urea/UAN

• Raises performance of urea to the level of ammonium nitrate (AN)

• Contains two actives for optimal efficacy

• Offers more than 12 months’ storage stability.

Nitrogen can be lost as ammonia following the application of liquid fertiliser (UAN). UK research suggests average nitrogen losses from UAN range from 11–14%. In general, factors that increase the risk of ammonia (nitrogen) losses include: • Warm temperatures • Dry soils • Less than 10mm of rainfall with 48 hours of application • Alkaline (high pH) soils. The use of Limus Perform is recommended when the risks of nitrogen losses are high. FG

Protected urea product launched at CropTec 2023

Achieving best results from fertiliser applications A fall in the price of fertiliser earlier this year means purchasing ready for next year’s crops is much improved. However, along with this there has been a substantial fall in the price of wheat so the challenge remains of how much fertiliser to use for 2024 harvested crops, says NSTS manager Ian Forman. The additional challenges the weather has thrown at growers this autumn will make planning decisions critical for spring application rates and timings.

How much fertiliser to apply always requires careful consideration, but factors such as machine maintenance and operator training, getting the most out of the technology available, and thinking about soil conditions prior to application all have an impact. With any machine, a tray test to know how evenly the product is being applied is invaluable. Some farmers have bought trays themselves but NSTS has a network of experienced and qualified examiners who will carry out a thorough inspection of the spreader, test the products you want to apply and then do a tray test to gain the best coefficient of variation (CV) possible. Inaccurate spreading is not always visible in growing crops, but when it is, the CV is likely to be in excess of 20%, a figure that could see the bottom line reduced by up to £16/ ha at today’s prices. FG

Glasson Fertilisers announced the launch of Starbur, an exclusive protected urea product, at this year’s CropTec Show. Compliant with the upcoming changes to English and Welsh urea fertiliser legislation, which are effective from April 2024, Starbur boasts a patented coating that achieves a 98% reduction in ammonia losses. Made by BASF, Starbur will be available exclusively through Glasson Fertilisers in the UK. Commenting on the launch, Glasson Fertilisers supply chain manager, Will Ingham (pictured right) said: “Starbur is more than just a urea product; it’s a game-changer for UK farmers. We’re providing a premium solution that not only meets legislative requirements but also enhances crop quality and yields and helps UK farmers protect the environment. No other protected urea product performs like Starbur. “Stabur’s unique, patented coating provides the highest

reduction in ammonia emissions available on the market, with its two active ingredients lowering ammonia emissions by up to 98%, ensuring better nitrogen availability from urea for crops to optimise both yield and quality,” explains Will. Starbur trials have demonstrated a remarkable 4.6% yield uplift in wheat crops compared to untreated urea. The inclusion of Limus Orange, featuring active ingredients NBPT and NPPT, sets Starbur apart by blocking more urase enzymes in the soil, increasing nitrogen availability for plant nutrition, and simultaneously reducing ammonia emissions. Due to reduced ammonia emissions, Starbur significantly extends the optimal application window compared to traditional urea-containing fertilisers. The 12-month shelf-life manufacturer’s warranty underlines Glasson Fertilisers’ confidence in Starbur’s longevity. FG

Spreader range helps to make farms “fit for the future” Lemken’s three fertiliser spreader ranges have been performing well in the UK and Ireland, tying into the company’s ‘Next Level Farming’ approach. The three ranges, Spica, Tauri and Polaris, come with tank volumes from 900–4,000 litres and a broad range of control options, from a basic version through to 100% Isobus. The new fertiliser spreaders meet the most stringent requirements regarding precision of application and economy. Comfortable setting options guarantee that fertiliser is applied precisely and economically, according to Lemken UK’s general manager Paul Creasy. The Lemken fertiliser spreaders are therefore high-quality products which optimally complement the company’s existing product portfolio in tillage, sowing and crop care, he adds. The entry level model Spica with tank volumes from 900–2,100 litres and working widths of up to 24m, makes the Spica ideal for smaller growers, while the mid-range Tauri offers a large loading volume of up to 3,000 litres. This implement delivers higher fertilising efficacy through large working widths of up to 36m. Equipment such as the weighing system, width section control and Isobus preparation make the Tauri 12 not only highly precise but also very comfortable to operate, Lemken reckons. The range-topping Polaris machines offer working widths of up to 50m and tank volumes of up to 4,000 litres, as well as sophisticated technology such as speed control, the Epsilon spreader vane system and the GPS-supported Econov section control system.

Mr Creasy explains how the range of fertiliser spreaders and their features fits well with the company’s ‘Next Level Farming’ approach: “With long-term benefits for agriculture, which aims to improve the health and fertility of soils, promote biodiversity while restoring and maintaining ecosystems. “The aim is to develop siteappropriate agricultural methods that aim to reduce the impact on the soil and the environment. In addition to ecological goals, Lemken also focuses on economic success. With this holistic approach, Lemken wants to make a decisive contribution to making farms fit for the future and our spreader range for accurate application is a key factor.” Next Level Farming is based on the approaches of regenerative agriculture, which are supported by many farmers, environmentalists, and sustainability advocates worldwide. Lemken is campaigning for the term to be given a clear definition in Germany. The focus should be on the result and not on the measures that lead to the result. Lemken is currently working intensively on the topics of resource protection, water management, processes and autonomy, digitalisation and research and consulting.

Collective deals save farmers time and money

Arable farmer Chris Hollingsworth found urea prices were 14% lower in the Farmdeals urea collective than other suppliers, which made a real difference to the farm’s bottom line. In an industry where efficiency and cost-effectiveness are paramount, UK arable farmer Chris Hollingsworth’s experience with Farmdeals’ urea collective deal is a testament to the innovative approach Farmdeals is bringing to agricultural purchasing. As a first-time user of Farmdeals’ collective buying service, Chris said was astounded by the exceptional value and convenience offered,

highlighting the significant savings and streamlined process. “In June, I tapped into Farmdeals urea collective and was astounded to find the prices 14% lower than other suppliers – a significant saving in our farm business input costs. “I've previously relied on various buying groups in the past, but none have matched the cost-effectiveness that Farmdeals offers. The 14%

cheaper rate really made a difference to our bottom line. The ordering and delivery process impressed me the most. It was incredibly easy and stress-free, which is a rarity inside farming.” By aggregating demand for essential supplies like fertiliser, Farmdeals is enabling farmers to negotiate better prices and terms from suppliers. This not only reduces costs but also fosters a sense of community and mutual support among farmers. The process of participating in these collective deals is straightforward and accessible. Farmers can register for free via the Farmdeals website. By removing financial barriers to entry, Farmdeals opens the door for more farmers to benefit from collective bargaining power. Currently, Farmdeals is running a new urea collective deal, with over 16 varieties on offer, a timely initiative considering the critical role of urea in farming operations. This deal promises to offer urea at prices significantly lower than the market rate, addressing a major pain point for farmers – high input costs. The success of such deals not only helps in reducing expenses but also aids in improving the overall profitability

and sustainability of farming practices. Farmdeals is continuously expanding its range of products, responding dynamically to the evolving needs of the farming community. Recognising the diverse requirements of a modern sustainable agriculture, the platform is committed to broadening its selection to encompass a wide array of agricultural inputs and tools. This expansion is not just about adding more products; it’s about providing a comprehensive solution to farmers, ensuring they have access to everything they need in one convenient place. Farmdeals distinguishes itself in the agricultural buying sector with its unique approach: no membership fees, no minimum spend requirements, and no commitment. This approach makes agricultural supplies more accessible to all, enabling farmers of various sizes to leverage the advantages of collective or spot price purchasing without facing the financial hurdles typically linked to conventional buying groups.

Fertiliser company created through acquisition LAT Nitrogen is a leading European provider of nitrogen-based products in the fertiliser and industrial chemical market. The company was created through the acquisition of Borealis Fertilizer, Technical Nitrogen and Melamine businesses by Agrofert in 2023. North West Europe sales manager, Tom Holt, states: “With change brings the opportunities for us to increase our profile across North West Europe through innovation, access to a wider product portfolio whilst continuing to grow and develop on the successes we have achieved with our current nitrate brands.” The UK continues to be a key market for LAT Nitrogen, with two of its established brands, Mypremian

33.5% ammonium nitrate and Mynitras 27N +10S03, already available through a number of key distributors. Both products are recognised for their superior quality, impressive spreading capabilities and agronomic benefits. “By aligning with key distributors, we have the ability to offer our portfolio of products throughout the UK all year round,” Tom continues. “This network of strategically selected distributors share our vision for offering high quality nitrate fertilisers that meet the demands of the modern farmer.” Further information on LAT Nitrogen and its product portfolio is available on www.lat-nitrogen.com or contact the company directly.

Focus on technology to improve field applications Exploring ways to increase the accuracy and consistency of fertiliser application and ease daily operations through an additional joystick were the key focuses for Kuhn Farm Machinery at CropTec this year. On the stand were Kuhn’s highoutput Axis H EMC 40.2 fertiliser spreader with a spread width up to 42m. Edd Fanshawe, arable product specialist at Kuhn, explained that for users spreading varying types of fertiliser, the electronic mass flow control (EMC) offers precise regulation of product onto each disc. “The EMC weighing on each disc prevents uneven fertiliser delivery to the individual discs that would create incorrect application. By measuring the flow to each disc, the EMC can detect clogging by a foreign object and, compared to traditional weigh cells, the EMC

system reacts quickly to issues and corrects them, preventing any stripping.” Users wanting a dedicated screen to run Isobus equipment could see Kuhn’s CCI 800 and 1200 Isobus terminals on the stand. The latter is a 12.1in touchscreen that can display fertiliser settings, guidance maps, additional cameras, and field details all on one display. It also has the benefit of displaying two Isobus machines should it be required. Further integration via a CCI A3 Isobus joystick allows users to operate 30 programmable functions from the single controller. Each function is shown in symbol format for increased ease of use and instant recognition, with a switch on the rear of the joystick to toggle between control screens. FG

Driving innovation, diversification and growth in farm businesses The Farm Business Innovation Show took place at the NEC, Birmingham, in mid-November. The event is dedicated to empowering farmers, landowners and agricultural professionals with the knowledge, tools and inspiration to drive innovation, diversification and growth in their businesses. Its primary purpose is to bring together industry experts, suppliers and thought leaders to create a dynamic platform for learning, networking and discovering new opportunities. The Farm Business Innovation Award acknowledges those who have made exceptional contributions to the rural sector by implementing innovative practices, diversifying

their businesses, and driving positive change. It honours those who have successfully harnessed new technologies, sustainable farming methods, and creative approaches to maximise the potential of their farm businesses. The award showcases the innovators who have transformed their farms into dynamic enterprises, offering unique experiences and products that captivate visitors and contribute to the growth of rural economies. Announced on the first day of the two-day event, Mudcontrol, E-Pitch and Staygrounded were this year’s worthy winners. FG

Farmers Guide chatted with Brit Stops general manager Tom Clark at the Farm Business Innovation Show, to find out how he was finding the event, and the company’s reason for attending. Tom commented: “We are here to sign up as many farms as we can. We have a membership of people who own motorhomes, and the idea behind our business is to connect these people with places they can stay for free across the UK. “The types of places we have already signed up are pubs, farm shops, vineyards, and breweries – basically, anywhere people can spend some money and have access to food.” Brit Stops is keen to sign up more farms and land owners, and found the FBI event to be the ideal place to do just that. Tom said: “The show has been great. There are a lot of farm shops, farm and land owners here, who we’ve had good conversations with. We’ve signed up some estates and we’ve had our very first castle sign up; so we’ve experienced some really interesting places and companies that I didn’t expect to see here.

“If you are a landowner, or if you own a farm or a farm shop, or anything similar, consider getting involved with Brit Stops. You can diversify your business by taking motorhome tourists onto your unused land; you will earn some extra income at no cost at all.” Visit www.britstops.com for more information. FG

“When nothing is certain, everything is possible” Despite the various challenges faced by farmers and landowners over recent years, there continues to be a variety of options available for rural businesses to thrive. Diversification is a key area and can provide additional sources of income. Defra statistics suggest that more than 60% of UK farms are involved in some form of diversified activity. In most cases, a diversification project will require planning consent, however permitted development rights provide options to gain approval for various development opportunities via a Prior Notification procedure. The feasibility of any project/ proposed development will depend on a range of matters such as location, funding, the market, sustainability, staffing, and the effect on the existing business.

Sustainable and carbon-friendly alternative to concrete

Consideration of existing skills and aspirations within the business can be a good starting point. Holiday accommodation and leisure facilities continue to be popular with some rural businesses as a way of providing various multifaceted streams of income. The above was evident at the recent Farm Business Innovation Show, where Acorus had many discussions with farmers and landowners seeking alternative income streams and wanting to discuss how to maximise their assets.
