And finally… The son of an ageing farmer suggested that his father was getting very overweight because modern farming methods were devoid of hard graft compared with the old days. After much consideration, the farmer was persuaded to go to the gym at his nearest sports centre. While ‘working out’, he spotted a very attractive young lady exercising at the far end of the gym and asked the trainer overseeing his efforts what machine he should use to impress her. The trainer eyed him up and down and replied: “There’s a cashpoint in the lobby, try that.” This month’s joke was kindly sent in by Chris Keeble. Do you have a joke to share?

Loading beet near Bury St Edmunds in mid-January. The lorry and Ropa Maus self-propelled cleaner loader are part of the fleet belonging to Bryan Nunn Haulage. Most of the haulier’s work is agricultural and beet transport is from farms within approximately 60 miles radius of the firm’s location, just half a mile from the Bury St Edmunds factory. Managing director Bryan Nunn explained that this season he expects to transport up to 350,000t of beet and points out that this year’s campaign is expected to be 23 weeks, well up on last year which was just 15. “We provide transport through British Sugar’s transport scheme and also by direct arrangement with farmers, and it’s great to see a return to a traditional length season,” he added. For more on sugar beet, turn to our special Sugar Beet feature which starts on p73 with a seasonal update from British Sugar agriculture director, Colm McKay. There is also news on herbicide tolerant beet in the Arable section of the magazine, on page 12.

So that is it for Lamma as an outdoor event, subject to everything going well at its new NEC, Birmingham venue next year. Following Agritechnica last November, at which most major manufacturers launched new products, there was plenty to see at Lamma this January, including some machinery which won’t be available until autumn at the earliest. The first day was well attended and many exhibitors expressed satisfaction at the number of sales enquiries and the positive mood among visitors, and were optimistic for a repeat performance on Thursday. However, strong winds on the Wednesday night proved too much for many display stands causing considerable damage and as the severity of the situation became clear in the light of Thursday morning, the decision was made to declare the show closed for safety reasons, disappointing exhibitors who had invested time and money in their stands, and visitors who had travelled to the venue. January in the UK isn’t generally known for its kind weather and many exhibitors and visitors will remember the 2013 event at which temperatures struggled to improve on -5ºC throughout the two days and all the outdoor exhibits maintained a thick layer of frost. Wednesday this year wasn’t as harsh, but featured a biting cold wind and at least next year’s indoor event should offer kinder working conditions and
You may have noticed that we’ve been banging on about black-grass these past few years. And, for good reason too. The weed is the scourge of the modern arable farmer and, worryingly, it continues to spread, as does its resistance to herbicides, far beyond its heavy land, wheatgrowing home in the eastern half of England. However, according to a recent survey as part of a four-year AHDB project investigating the extent of brome on arable farms in the UK, the five species found on these shores are far more widespread than previously thought. To date, no herbicide resistance to brome has been found, but of concern is the fact that brome is a very competitive weed, and lessons learned from black-grass herbicide resistance build up
means that careful attention needs to be paid to other high-risk grass weeds such as this, warns the AHDB. To find out more about brome, and the potential threat facing the cereal growing regions of the UK, turn to p8 of this edition.

£130/t ex-farm for February. There has been little UK trading as users are living hand-to-mouth and there is no export. Feed barley has moved up to £125/t ex-farm mainly due to some recent export. Feed wheat for November on the futures market is about £134/t. Malting barley is dead on the spot market and about £155/t for autumn movement. World supplies are still being satisfied by Russian stock and its grain exports are likely to be a record this season. This has been assisted by favourable exchange rates against other traditional market exporters and geographical proximity to rapidly growing importers in the Middle East and North Africa for an expanding poultry industry. They are specifically booming into Egypt. Russia is also stealing Australian markets as the Aussies cannot compete with its prices. Australian production of wheat and barley is down by 40 per cent on last year’s crops with wheat at 20mt and barley at 8mt. This has been due to adverse weather throughout the growing season.

It would appear that the shift to spring cropping continues and winter acreages have declined. Wheat is down by 5–7 per cent and barley by as much as 10 per cent. Spring barley acreage is predicted to be increased in main growing areas by a further 10 per cent this season. The reasons for this continue to be black-grass control but also on the barley front a stronger demand for spring varieties by brewers/maltsters. We have had average rainfall figures for 2017 across the country but since moving into 2018 we have seen significant snow and rain across most of the country accompanied by strong winds, which have caused havoc in some areas. Winter drilled crops appear to continue to do well. Growers will soon need a weather break to apply nitrogen to established crops. Michael Gove left delegates at the Oxford Farming Conference in no doubt that the future after a five-year continuance of CAP-type trading was going to be much different. Gone would be handouts for farming acres and pounds would be poured out to individuals who take care of the environment. Creation of woodland, assistance for birdlife and wildlife and general enhancement of the countryside will secure financial incentives. All aspects are to be revealed later this year. A breath of fresh air or just more rules to adjust to? We must just wait and see what he is going to produce. Meanwhile the Environment Plan from Defra for the next 25 years has just been published and is worth a look: www.gov.uk/ government/publications/25-year-environmentplan.
It is probably an appropriate time of year to remind growers of nutrient removal from cereal crops so that they can apply appropriate quantities in the spring if they have not been applied in the autumn. A wheat crop will remove per tonne of grain yield; 7.8kg/t of phosphate and 5.6kg/t potash. When straw is also removed from the field these increase to 8.4kg/t of phosphate and 10.4kg/t potash. So for a 10t crop the removal with straw is 84kg phosphate and 104kg/t potash. Spring crops remove slightly more. The message from this is that many soils are being depleted of P and K due to insufficient applications. Please do your own calculations and apply the correct quantities so that your yields are not affected. Nitrogen top dressings in spring should also be adjusted to expected yields. Details can be obtained from RB209 which should be in all farm offices and was updated last year.

Rugby Ramblings Before I carry out my rugby ramble it is pleasing to report on good English cricket. Having been thrashed by Australia in the Ashes we appear to be much better in the one day series having won it with three straight wins. England one day captain, Eoin Morgan highlighted Jos Buttler as the match winner. Buttler reached his century on the last ball of the innings. There was also a controversial dismissal of Australia’s Steve Smith when he was on 45 and Buttler made that catch. A fascinating weekend of rugby decided the final eight to qualify in the European Cup. Saracens, last year’s winners, just crept into the mix as the only English team which was dominated by the French with four teams qualifying: La Rochelle, Toulon, Clermont Auvergne and Racing 92. Ireland made it with two teams in the form of Munster and Leinster and, for the first time in the last eight, Welsh team Scarlets. On their current variable form I cannot see Saracens winning again this season and my prediction is for a Clermont Auvergne win as they are producing really good rugby. The surprising result of the weekend was the defeat of Exeter by Glasgow Warriors who played out of their skin to prevent Exeter Chiefs from qualifying for the last eight. Scottish Rugby is going to be challenging in the Six Nations this spring. Talking about the Six Nations, injuries across the board in recent months are going to cause significant changes in player selection.

Survey highlights extent of UK-wide brome problem Meadow brome is one of the five species of brome found in the UK.
A four-year project investigating the extent of brome on arable farms in the UK is also focusing on the weed’s potential for herbicide resistance. Dominic Kilburn writes. Results of a survey carried out last year on the extent of brome present on UK farms has revealed that the weed species is more widespread on cereal growing land than previously thought. In addition, 59 per cent of respondents suggested that brome was becoming an increasing problem on their farms. Speaking at the AHDB Agronomists’ conference at the end of 2017, ADAS weed researcher Dr Laura Davies (right) outlined that the survey was part of an ADAS-led AHDB-funded project investigating the distribution and presence of brome in the UK, as well as identifying the potential for herbicide resistance among the species. Partners in the four-year project, which started in March 2017, include BASF, Bayer, Dow AgroSciences, Monsanto, UPL and Rothamsted Research. According to AHDB, bromes are highly competitive weeds with infestations of sterile brome at densities of 5 plants/m2 causing up to a 5 per cent yield loss. Herbicide resistant brome populations have been found in other parts of the world but not in the UK as yet, however lessons learned from black-grass herbicide resistance build up means that careful attention needs to be paid to other high risk grass weeds, warned the AHDB.
Survey The project got underway with a survey last summer to identify the 8
main species being found on UK farms and where they were occurring. “The last time a survey was carried out relating to brome in the UK was in 1989, so it was clear that we didn’t have any up-to-date information, and, while we expected responses to highlight most populations of brome to be in the North West, West and Scotland, we actually found there was a wide presence of brome in the South and South East too,” explained Dr Davies. “Brome weeds are present across the whole of the UK’s cereal growing regions,” she added. According to the survey of 200 growers, sterile brome was the most abundant species of the five found in the UK. “That said, we also had 58 samples of brome sent in for herbicide sensitivity testing of which 38 per cent were identified as the wrong brome species,” Dr Davies continued. “It may, or may not, be important to get the identification of bromes right but part of the project is looking to see if different species are more or less sensitive to herbicides, and therefore whether growers and agronomists need to know what they are dealing with down to an individual species level,” she pointed out. Dr Davies added that the best time to identify brome species was at flowering and seed shedding when the difference between the species was most easily defined. For more help with identification, the ‘Which brome is that?’ guide can also be viewed on the Crop Protection
website, she said. With 59 per cent of responses claiming that brome was becoming a worse problem on farm, Dr Davies suggested that the move to min-till and no-till on many arable farms as part of a strategy to reduce the incidence of black-grass, could inadvertently increase populations of sterile and great brome. “In addition, some growers have moved away from certain herbicide actives due to resistance problems with black-grass, without realising that they were getting incidental grass weed control with them,” she commented. On the flip side, a lot of those who thought they had seen a decrease in brome populations on their farms cited better crop rotations, more spring cropping, good use of herbicides and better cultivations as the reason. The survey also highlighted the worrying trend that as well as brome being found in its traditional field margin and headland locations, the vast majority of those surveyed said it was appearing in the centre of fields. This is an increasing problem, stressed Dr Davies.
Resistance As many as 59 growers surveyed suspected they had brome on their farms which was resistant to herbicide; ALS and ACCase chemistry getting most of the blame. “We still have no confirmation of brome resistance to herbicides in the UK and it could well have been poor herbicide application at the time that caused the lower levels of control, but the number of suspected cases is worrying,” she suggested. The results of the survey, alongside experimental work examining herbicide sensitivity, will
be used to map brome population changes and update best practice weed management guidelines for brome in the future. Glasshouse and laboratory tests began last autumn testing populations of sterile, rye, meadow and great brome for resistance to ALS herbicides, with early results showing that ALS-treated sterile brome showed the greatest variation in the level of control achieved. “Some populations were less well controlled than others and so the question is that if I took those less well controlled populations and started doing different control methods with them, would I get resistance?,” said Dr Davies. “That’s something I’ll be looking at in the future,” she added. “There was less variation in the control of great and meadow brome and so this points to the fact that we may need to identify which species we have in the field as some are harder to control than others,” she explained, adding that growers should always use the full recommended rates when tackling brome with herbicides. This spring, populations of brome will be tested for sensitivity to ACCase, fops and dims and glyphosate herbicides. “As well as developing an integrated brome management plan for the future, a big part of the project is focusing on herbicide resistance testing, and so any growers who have a sample of brome that they think is resistant to a herbicide, can send it in to ADAS to be tested for free. “There’s no brome resistance reported in the UK as yet but there is the potential for it and we don’t want to get into a situation like black-grass. “We want to be proactive about preventing resistance rather than having to control it once it has evolved,” she concluded. ■
In the past, brome was typically found at field margins and on headlands (above) but the survey suggested that it is increasingly being found in the centre of fields too.

“Rip up the rulebook” and target broad-leaved weeds in February Getting the best results
Broad-leaved weeds like cleavers can be controlled much earlier in the spring, growers are advised.
There are good reasons why cereal growers and their agronomists opt for the timings they do when it comes to treating broad-leaved weeds. In winter cereals, the most common approach is to tank mix at either T1 or T2, while spring sown crops are usually left until mid-to-late tillering, typically applied with the first dose of fungicide. Dow AgroSciences cereals herbicide product manager, Dr Alex Nichols (right) says: “Our research from the past few years shows that the pattern of herbicide applications is relatively static. “Growers will be thinking that by going at T1 they have given lategerminating weeds time to emerge while, at the same time, being more efficient by tank mixing herbicides with their fungicide, PGRs and trace elements for example. “There is also a bit of a knowledge hangover caused by existing chemistry which has traditionally performed best on weeds, such as cleavers, when
Zypar is a co-formulation of Dow’s longstanding active florasulam – used in Spitfire – in combination with Arylex Active which is a new active ingredient for the control of broad-leaved weeds. It is a contact-acting herbicide and some growers took advantage of the wide application window by taking out weed populations last autumn. It can be applied from growth stage 11 through to growth stage 45 in all winter and spring cereals except oats, says Dow. But most growers will opt for spring applications to achieve market-leading control of key problem weeds such as cleavers, poppies, cranesbill, fumitory, fat hen, chickweed, brassicas and mayweeds. Dow’s customer agronomist, Stuart Jackson (right) says that for winter weather conditions are warm. “These are all valid arguments, but our Arylex Active based research is showing that the benefit in yield increase from early treatment may well outweigh the practical benefits derived from treating fields at traditional herbicide timings.”
Rip up the rulebook Dr Nichols is advocating a change of strategy and urging growers to rip up the rulebook. Trials at the company’s Wellesbourne site last year showed a 1.75t/ha yield benefit in winter wheat by treating crops in February rather than April.
cereals where a residual herbicide has been used, Zypar at 0.75-litres/ha will cover all the key weeds. If residual herbicides have not been used, or their activity has been compromised – by cloddy seedbeds for example – a mixture of Zypar with a picolinafen product such as Picona will cover annual meadow grass and broadleaved weeds. Similarly, in spring cereals where a residual herbicide has been used Zypar alone at 0.75-litres/ha will control the weeds that come through the residual herbicide. Pixxaro, a combination of Arylex Chickweed, poppy, cranesbill and cleavers were present in both trials and were totally controlled by Zypar (Arylex Active) at 0.75-litres/ha. But, the trial treated on 24th February yielded 9.33t/ha while the plot left until 24th April only yielded 7.58t/ha. “Studies throughout the world have demonstrated that removing weed competition in cereals early results in more productive tillers, more grains per ear and a higher thousand grain weight,” Dr Nichols continued. “But the opportunities to take out key problem weeds early are not always there, or when they have presented themselves, growers have decided not to act.” The arrival of Arylex Active, which
Active and fluroxypyr, offers growers and agronomists a way to be more precise in targeting specific weed challenges using its dose rate flexibility, suggests the company. It has a wide range of tank mix partners, including sulphonylureas. Rates of these products can be individually adjusted in a tank mix to meet the weed control requirements on a field-by-field basis. “Pixxaro also has a position for control of late emerging weeds such as cleavers, black bindweed, fumitory and fat hen,” Mr Jackson says. “Left uncontrolled these weeds can grow rapidly as the crop senesces and then cause hassle when harvesting the crop. Large combine headers do not want to be taking in anything other than the standing crop.” was first seen in Pixxaro EC in 2016 before being launched in Zypar last spring, is part of the reason why Dr Nichols believes growers can now genuinely challenge the status quo. “Arylex-based products have proven their efficacy in cold and variable weather conditions, so growers can carry out fieldwork targeting broad-leaved weeds in February,” he continued. “It’s undisputed that applying herbicides when weeds are smaller results in a better kill. “Plus in the context of resistance, you are more likely to achieve 100 per cent kill when targeting small weeds, meaning the likelihood of resistance evolving is much reduced. The reverse is true when targeting larger weeds.” ■

Herbicide tolerant beet a significant addition to weed management options The first ALS tolerant sugar beet varieties are in recommended list trials across Europe and a recent conference held in Malmo, Sweden saw researchers come together to present work on this new innovation. Independent weed consultant Dr Gillian Champion sent this report. Weed control in sugar beet is known to be challenging, requiring multiple applications of tank mixes of herbicides and little has changed in recent years, but a new development in the form of herbicide tolerance is soon to be introduced to this sector which could transform the way weed control is achieved. The new technology has been christened Conviso Smart and combines two ALS herbicides (from Bayer) already used in maize, with a sugar beet variety (from KWS) which has been selected to tolerate these herbicides. “We were searching for a natural variation of the gene encoding the ALS enzyme resulting in a tolerance to ALS inhibiting herbicides,” said KWS’ Dr Carsten Stibbe. “And one single tolerant individual out of 1.5 billion screened formed the basis for the development of the new system,” he commented. The system uses a mix of herbicides as an oil dispersion formulation. One of the active ingredients (foramsulfuron) works mainly on the leaves as a contact material and the other (thiencarbazone-methyl) works both via leaf and soil for a residual effect. According to Bayer’s Dr Martin Wegener (right), the herbicide is to be used at 1.0-litres/ha as a single spray
or as two treatments of 0.5-litres/ ha, approximately 14 days apart, depending on the weed emergence and growth stages.” The first varieties to come to market are likely to be slightly lower yielding than the current List leaders but this is common when varieties with new traits first appear, as was the case with BCN resistant varieties. The yield lag may last for some years but gradually the gap closes. Speakers also mentioned that, to some extent, the additional selectivity (lack of crop damage from the herbicides) will offset part of these differences.
Trials results Ms Barbara Manderyck (right) of IRBAB (Belgian sugar beet institute) presented results on behalf of COBRI (Coordination Beet Research International) a collaboration of sugar beet institutes in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Denmark. A total of 12 trials were conducted in which single and split applications were compared. Other treatments within the series of trials included standard (three application) programmes and FAR programmes (five low dose applications). Some of
the Conviso treatments also included an oil. “The selectivity of the Conviso system is high,” she said, “and better than the standard treatments in the COBRI trials. But it depends to which standard you compare and in which conditions you compare them.” She concluded that timing of the herbicide will depend on weed growth stage (especially when applying the 0.5-litres/ha rate) and the key species for determining this will be fat hen. “The maximum size for fat hen using the split programme is 2-leaves whereas the maximum size for the single application is 4-leaves,” pointed out Ms Manderyck. In some situations, with continuous flushes of emergence the weed control efficacy of the standard treatments was as high as the Conviso split treatments by catching the weeds at a vulnerable stage, she added. As a herbicide group the ALS inhibitors are particularly prone to selecting for resistance and French trials examined the use of conventional herbicides in programmes, and in particular in relation to control of ryegrass. Cedric Royer of ITB (the French sugar beet institute) stressed the importance of knowing
the resistance status of the weeds in fields and in relation to results from known ‘dirty’ fields. “In these fields, the ALS product will not be the solution because some weeds are already resistant to the ALS group.” He advocated the use of ALS herbicides with existing products as a sustainable weeding strategy. “ALS plus traditional products increases efficacy, enables simplification for farmers, reduces the treatment frequency interval and the number of treatments, and prevents resistance problems.”
Hit weeds hard Dr Christophe Delye from INRA (French National Institute for Agricultural Research) echoed the resistance message and recommended hitting major weeds hard, to treat them early when they are most sensitive and at a time which most protects the yield, and to carefully monitor the creep of resistance in any minor weeds. “ALS tolerant crops are effective but fragile tools,” he said. “Do not use an ALS tolerant crop alone to control heavy weed infestations, combine it with non-chemical practices and other herbicide modes of action. Including ALS tolerant crops in the rotation must be carefully considered and avoid ‘allcontinued over...
Can I grow ALS tolerant beet now? Before ALS tolerant sugar beet can be grown, several hurdles have to be overcome. Besides requiring that the variety is registered in the country of use there are also two herbicides which have to be registered, and these each have different re-registration deadlines. Commercial production of the ALS tolerant sugar beet can begin in a few countries such as Sweden in 2018, with more to follow in the subsequent years. The UK is unlikely to be able to grow it before 2020 and varieties are currently being evaluated in Recommended List trials.

ALS’ rotations at all costs,” he warned. Several speakers identified the need for training in the use and stewardship of the technology. “Besides pre-launch activities, Bayer
is supporting IWM (integrated weed management) recommendations, resistance diagnostics, training of country development managers and marketing,” said the company’s Dr Alberto Collavo. “Training is a fundamental component to implement Conviso Smart adoption,” he suggested. Another key advantage of this system was reported to be for situations where fields are
infested with high numbers of weed beet. Non-tolerant sugar beet are extremely sensitive to the ALS herbicides and complete control is possible at field doses. Stewardship will need to include the control of bolting ALS tolerant sugar beet to prevent the formation of ALS tolerant weed beet. In summarising, Professor Per Kudsk of Aarhus University, Denmark, said that ALS-tolerant sugar beets and the corresponding herbicide are a significant addition to the arsenal available to farmers to manage
weeds. Used wisely it fits nicely into an IWM strategy. Risk mitigation measures should be considered by all farmers to prolong the life of the technology, he concluded. *The International Institute of Sugar Beet Research (IIRB) is an international, non-governmental and non-profit organisation and its members include representatives of national sugar beet institutes (such as the BBRO from the UK), breeding companies, chemical manufacturers and other interested groups. Its winter seminar focussed on this new type of sugar beet. ■
Choice of rollers is key for consolidation Consolidation can significantly increase the success of stale seedbeds by increasing germination of weed seeds and therefore the number of plants available to kill off before planting the crop. Cambridgeshire-based Tillso says that rollers can perform this task. Its Flexi-Till runs with a large contact patch and has indenting teeth which move in and out to create a good surface consolidation action even when travelling at higher speeds on stubble, says Tillso. This is in contrast to steel
packer rollers designed to work in cultivated soil, which sit on the edge of the ring on stubbles, and do not consolidate effectively, it says. The FT roller is a key component of Tillso’s Rake and Roll which cultivates the top surface, breaking up and evenly distributing crop residue, shaking out weed seeds and creating fine surface tilth. Combining this action with the consolidation of the FT maximises the effectiveness of stale seedbed establishment, says a the company. It can also help

Shift in septoria sensitivity to key fungicide chemistry The AHDB Agronomists’ conference provided the platform for the latest fungicide performance results to be presented and discussed, including confirmation of the discovery of a number of less sensitive septoria isolates to SDHI chemistry. Dominic Kilburn writes. SDHI fungicides are still providing a good level of performance against septoria in winter wheat but there is some evidence of a decline in efficacy. That was one of the key messages provided by ADAS’ Jonathan Blake (right) speaking at the AHDB Agronomists’ conference prior to the Christmas break. However, the news that the decline in triazole efficacy in a protectant situation had, over the past four years somewhat slowed, was encouraging, he stated. Dr Blake suggested that up until 2015 it was unlikely that there had been much of a change in SDHI efficacy in relation to septoria, however, in 2016, there was a “wobble” where a few less sensitive septoria isolates had been found. And then, in 2017, laboratory tests confirmed that a considerable number of less sensitive septoria isolates had been discovered – significantly more than had been seen prior to 2015. “It does seem that there is a percentage of the septoria population that is less sensitive than it used to be,” noted Dr Blake. “We are seeing this shift in sensitivity in the field and in the lab, and the same is being found in Ireland,” he added. He said that in 2013 trials, half and quarter rate performances in SDHI Imtrex (fluxapyroxad) gave around 90 per cent control of septoria and now, on average, it was nearer 50-70 per cent control. “The lower rates seem less effective than in the past and so to achieve those higher rates of control, we may need to use increased rates of SDHI,” he said, pointing out that similar patterns were seen in trials with Vertisan (penthiopyrad).
Dr Blake highlighted 2017 data from an on-going AHDB project (looking at resistance management and the best way to protect future modes of action), and said that the more we use SDHIs, then the quicker we select for insensitivity – particularly with the addition of a second SDHI fungicide in a programme. So only applying SDHIs when really needed, along with good resistance management, including use of multisite products, should help to prolong their efficacy. “By adding a multisite fungicide we’re able to bring the mutant strain frequency down a bit,” he added.
Azole stability Dr Blake suggested that increased use in mixtures of SDHI and multisite products in recent years may have played a part in the stabilising of septoria populations where triazoles are concerned. “Both in protectant (50 per cent control) and curative situations (20–40 per cent control) there has been little change in efficacy since 2012/13. “It’s a huge shift from where we were originally with these products but we aren’t seeing rapid changes in azole sensitivity now,” he added.
2017 protection Running through the AHDBfunded trials results focusing on specific fungicide performance in wheat, Dr Blake said that both Ignite (epoxiconazole) and Proline (prothioconazole) performed similarly to each other in a protective situation during 2017. This is a slight change from the 2016 season when prothioconazole was looking slightly stronger, he noted. SDHI single actives Imtrex and
Vertisan provided reassuringly higher protection on average against septoria across all (five) sites and this didn’t represent a change from 2016. According to Dr Blake, Bravo (chlorothalonil) at the half dose rate in a protective situation provided 50 per cent control of septoria – more than Ignite or Proline at their full label rates – and added that chlorothalonil is a very important part of protecting crops. SDHI mixtures Elatus Era (benzovindiflupyr + prothioconazole), Librax (fluxapyroxad + metconazole) and Ascra Xpro (bixafen + fluopyram + prothioconazole) all performed very well in 2017 at full label rate, and couldn’t be separated in terms of their performance. Looking at performance against septoria over three years, results showed a similar pattern to the one-year data with the exception of prothioconazole and the SDHIs performing a little stronger in comparison. Aviator Xpro (bixafen + prothioconazole) was not quite as strong as Ascra Xpro, however. In septoria curative performance for 2017, azole prothioconazole came in a little stronger than epoxiconazole at the higher rates, Elatus Era and Ascra Xpro performed well and similar to each other, and Librax even better – which Dr Blake described as a ‘seasonal effect’. Over three years, all SDHI mixes had similar curative activity with Librax being stand out in 2017. Focusing on yield, broadly, the

SDHI mixes performed the same with Elatus Era a little better in terms of persistence, said Dr Blake and, while it was difficult to separate yield performance over three years, he suggested that fluopyram in Ascra Xpro gave that product a yield advantage over Aviator Xpro.
Rusts Although yellow and brown rust in wheat may not be the key worry for growers over winter months, due to colder weather keeping them in check, Dr Blake suggested that, in milder conditions and with a high number of wheat varieties showing susceptibility to the two diseases, they are ones to watch. Most products in yellow rust trials performed similarly well in continued over...
AHDB trials – Wheat fungicide performance at a glance Septoria: SDHIs are still providing a good level of performance against septoria but there is some evidence of a decline in efficacy. Elatus Era, Librax and Ascra Xpro SDHIs are all comparable for protection. Use azoles and multisites to slow resistance development. Rust: Epoxiconazole is still a lead azole and highly effective in curative situations. Pyraclostrobin showed good activity especially on yellow rust. New SDHI Elatus Era highly effective on both rusts. Fusarium: Prothioconazole leads but metconazole, tebuconazole and epoxiconazole are all close behind.

2017, particularly epoxiconazole and therefore any products that contain it. Over three years, the benefits of epoxiconazole as well as Comet (pyraclostrobin) came through; the latter being the leading strobilurin for yellow rust control, suggested Dr Blake. “Bear in mind, however, to be cautious of strobs when yellow rust comes in early and is already active as they may not perform as well at that stage as azoles,” he advised. “SDHI solos will add to yellow rust activity in a programme but are not highly active themselves. In terms of the SDHI mixtures, again, products with epoxiconazole performed well and Elatus Era came out well for a product with prothioconazole in the mix.” In yellow rust yield trials
(2015–2017) Ignite performed well, as did epoxiconazole-containing SDHI Keystone (epoxiconazole + isopyrazam) and Elatus Era. In 2017 brown rust (inoculated) trials, Dr Blake said that Proline showed efficacy as well as Caramba (metconazole) – the azole widely used in Librax. Of the SDHI mixes, Vertisan performed similarly well while the benzovindiflupyr in Elatus Era has good activity on brown rust and ensured the product stood out well for efficacy.
Fusarium In fusarium trials, Proline came out a little ahead of other actives while Ignite was not quite as strong as Caramba and Folicur (tebuconazole) in 2017. “Proline is probably safer to use at half or three-quarter dose rates to control fusarium and across threeyear trials was ahead of Ignite, but which did unexpectedly well. Dr Blake said that, reassuringly, despite untreated plots containing two-and-a-half times the level of
www.maschio.co.uk
(DON) mycotoxins permitted for human consumption, all of the azoles in the trial brought the level down below the required legal limit.
Barley fungicides Switching to barley fungicides and rhynchosporium protectant in particular, Dr Blake said that it was clear that Proline and Imtrex were the key actives in 2017 trials with any product containing one or other performing broadly similar. Across three years (2015–2017), the three SDHI mixtures in the trial – Siltra Xpro (prothioconazole + bixafen), Elatus Era and Priaxor (fluxapyroxad + pyraclostrobin) – looked very similar in terms of their control. Siltra Xpro looked strong on yield but broad-spectrum products generally do better in yield trials as there is rarely a pure stand with just one disease present in barley, he explained. In terms of strobilurin efficacy on rhynchosporium, Dr Blake said that it was clear that these products were less effective now than in the past, highlighting Comet as an example whereby control levels were now at 30–50 per cent compared with 70–90 per cent previously. “There has been a change in strobilurin efficacy and so perhaps don’t rely entirely on a strob to control rhyncosporium,” he advised.
Ramularia Up to 2015, a range of products were capable of controlling ramularia in barley including SDHI solos Zulu (isopyrazam) and Imtrex, as well as

Proline, Bravo and SDHI mixtures, said Dr Blake. “Now there are concerns of insensitivities to azoles and SDHIs in ramularia populations, and hardly any products gave a dose response in SRUC’s Scottish trials in 2017,” he noted. Turning to net blotch in 2017, Dr Blake said that single SDHI products tested (Imtrex and Vertisan) were less effective than Proline which was a shift from 2014/15 when it was the opposite. It also took full label rates of SDHI mixtures to control net blotch, he added. “Clearly there has been a step change to sensitivity in net blotch to the SDHIs. Comet, however, is still working reasonably well and that may help in adding to net blotch control.” Mildewecides Talius (proquinazid) and Cyflamid (cyflufenamid) showed good activity in mildew trials, as did Proline, while SDHI mixtures containing Proline; Siltra Xpro and Elatus Era, perhaps unsurprisingly, also showed good activity, concluded Dr Blake. ■

Ramularia symptoms are now much easier to spot and quantify, thanks to new guidance published by AHDB. Described within two new AHDB publications, the guidance has been issued following recent reductions in the efficacy of key fungicides used to control this foliar pathogen of barley. Improved identification and quantification of ramularia symptoms will help farmers and advisers assess the effectiveness of control and devise appropriate management strategies, says AHDB. As symptoms are frequently misdiagnosed, the new publications illustrate how mature ramularia lesions can be distinguished from other foliar symptoms by applying the ‘5Rs’: Ringed with yellow margin of chlorosis Rectangular shape Restricted by the leaf veins Reddish-brown colouration Right through the leaf The ‘Ramularia leaf spot in barley’ factsheet also includes information on the life cycle of ramularia and control options. A more detailed accompanying guide allows ramularia symptoms to be identified and severity scored. With ramularia becoming more widespread across the UK, it is important that disease severity is assessed and use of seed saved from heavily infected crops avoided, adds AHDB. Both publications can be accessed via: cereals.ahdb.org.uk/ramularia

Where next for grain markets? In the first in a series of columns focusing on key inputs and issues, Openfield’s head of Research and Compliance, Cecilia Pryce, provides an overview of the grain market. The headline above is a good question which currently has a string of possible answers. UK spot futures wheat prices moved to their current levels back in late 2016 and have been in a nominal £10/t range ever since. When you consider the values were around £100/t in 2009, over £200/t in 2011 and closer to £210/t in late 2012, before falling to sub £120/t in 2015, we really have seen volatility in the past, but now we seem stuck. When Defra dropped its UK total wheat crop number just before Christmas it didn’t really shock the market. It has been trading closer to import parity than export parity for most of the season, with wheat never being readily available in volume, which is what you expect with small crops. The smaller crop, and a general tightness in transport, has created big discrepancies in prices between those in the South East of the country, where the grain is currently sitting, against the continued price premium being paid into north Lincolnshire and further north, which remain short of supply. Ex-farm prices between the regions have been varying by £8–£10/t which makes marketing decisions even harder for farmers and really drives home that you need to know where your local markets are, especially in light of little or no export activity.
Domestic wheats The UK domestic demand has been very good so far this year. Millers have seen very few opportunities to purchase cheaper imported grains, mainly due to harvest issues which eroded quality from some usual exporters, which has kept them focused on domestic wheats. Meanwhile the livestock sector looks to be expanding, with milk prices almost back to the highs of 2013 and the number of broilers
increasing almost daily. The only ‘wobble’ from the demand side of the equation has come from the ethanol industry. Over the last 10 years demand from the UK ethanol plants hasn’t been very predictable. The change in the EU sugar regime last year, the world’s endless supply of cheap corn and general global political uncertainty over the merits or not, of ethanol or any first-generation biofuel, continue to make the future of biofuels unclear, and this ultimately changes the UK wheat supply and demand and domestic pricing.
Supply and demand The complexity of the UK balance sheet should never be underestimated, and as we approach Brexit it is vital that farmers and politicians alike understand this. The data needs to be the best it can and every change in demand needs understanding. It may be domestic ethanol mandates that change, trade agreements which have unintended consequences or a major swing in the value of sterling, but whatever it is we all need to understand the impact on grain prices and be prepared to move. It has been said many times, but knowing your cost of production, the destinations for the grains you grow and having a real plan for marketing can’t be overlooked in the coming years. Opportunities will present themselves but we all need to identify them and take advantage of them. I believe its not a case of ‘if’ but ‘when’ volatility returns to the grain markets, which then asks the next question… how are you set up to deal with it?

Remain vigilant for TuYV Growers have been warned to remain vigilant for turnip yellows virus (TuYV) in the coming years, after latest findings showed that 70 per cent of peach potato aphids are carrying the virus. British Beet Research Organisation (BBRO) head of science, Dr Mark Stevens, says that research has found that the virus, which can affect oilseed rape and other cover crops, had the potential to cause blanket primary infection if not dealt with effectively. “For nearly 30 years, we’ve been monitoring migrating aphid populations for the sugar beet virus yellows complex and TuYV,”
Dr Stevens explains. “Using 30 sites around the UK, we caught almost 5,000 peach potato aphids during the spring and summer of 2017 and used a series of diagnostic tools to test for viruses including TuYV. The results showed that 7 out of 10 aphids are carrying the virus – this is at the top end of the levels we’ve found historically. “If you’ve got such a high number of infected aphids landing and feeding on oilseed rape, you can find that the whole crop can quickly get infected. That means that it’s essential that growers keep track of migration, particularly as there is no treatment threshold in oilseed rape.”

technical manager Mark Hemmant notes that though the risk period for aphids has now passed, growers still need to look out for the pests moving forward. “Early infestations tend to have a bigger impact on yield, and in high pressure years this can result in losses of 25–30 per cent. Through September and October 2017 we urged agronomists and growers to be vigilant in detecting aphids and spraying them as soon as they see them. On the other hand, if they were found later, it would have been a marginal call when it comes to the cost of the spray against the cost of the yield loss without a spray.” He continues: “There’s a lot of

insecticide resistance in peachpotato aphids. You need to go for a product like Biscaya (thiacloprid), which is the fastest-acting and more efficacious. TuYV is different to many other viruses simply because such a high proportion of aphids are carrying it, so timing that insecticide spray and getting it on as soon as you spot any aphids is crucial.” However, spotting aphids and TuYV is not always straightforward. Mr Hemmant points out that since growers can’t be in the crop checking every day, they should keep an eye
on aphid bulletins, such as Aphid News by AHDB and Rothamsted Research, for flights in their area. “If there’s any sign in the autumn, bring a hand lens out with you and look carefully, because they’re not always easy to see. You need to catch the early ones – if you wait for them to reproduce, it’s probably already too late. “Another key thing to remember is that TuYV can be difficult to diagnose: the symptoms – such as reddening or purpling around the margins of the leaves – are also seen in crops when they’re under stress, or when they have some trace element deficiencies. Those factors can end up being blamed for the loss of yield, while the TuYV goes untreated. So it can be a hidden yield robber.” Dr Stevens agrees that misdiagnosis can be a problem, especially since there is a time lag between the initial infection and the symptoms appearing in the crop. “You may get infection in the autumn, but it might not show in the crop until the following March or April. So if you find TuYV in your oilseed rape in the spring, you need to watch for further migration this year and be vigilant for virus infection in future crops.” Dr Stevens notes that although much depends on winter weather, high levels of TuYV mean growers need to be on alert: “Cold weather will kill a lot of the aphids in oilseed rape. But if you have a high level of infection, and you then get fresh aphids coming in, there’s every likelihood they’re going to pick up the virus. The problem isn’t necessarily an easy one for growers to solve, but staying vigilant and employing the right control strategies are an important start.” ■

Trials underline importance of accurate soil testing The importance of understanding soil nitrogen reserves and making an accurate assessment of crop fertiliser requirement in maximising crop production efficiency and outputs has once again been highlighted in a series of farm trials in 2017. “With properly applied nitrogen fertiliser delivering a return on investment of 5:1 – the highest of any crop input – it’s essential growers make the right decision on its application,” says CF Fertilisers’ arable agronomist Allison Grundy. “Too little and the crop will never reach its full economic potential and too much and the plant might simply not be able to use it which as well as being a waste of money, could result in environmental issues.” The starting point for making the most cost-effective use of N inputs is to know what you’re starting with, she says. “It is essential to know precisely what N you have available in the soil, what will become available to the plant and how much has already been taken up by the crop.” Unlike less sophisticated soil tests, CF’s patented N-Min test measures not only the soil mineral nitrogen (SMN) but also additionally available nitrogen (AAN) – the amount of nitrogen that will be mineralised in the soil between sampling and harvest, Allison points out. “By combining SMN and AAN we are able to get a much better insight into the overall soil N supply so we can build up a true picture of crop fertiliser need. “Using the N-Min results we can then use our N-Calc system to identify
the application rate that will provide the highest economic return based on a grower’s individual circumstances including target yield, soil type and rotation.”
Maximising wheat potential Over recent years N-Min and N-Calc have delivered exceptional results in both feed and milling wheat with those achieved in the challenging year of 2017 underlining this, she points out. At Darren Baxter’s Highbrow Farm near Southport in Lancashire, using CF N-Min and N-Calc to optimise subsequent fertiliser applications with DoubleTop (27N 30SO3) resulted in an average yield for Diego feed wheat of 11.2t/ha compared with 10.5t/ha for farm practice – a 0.7t/ha gain. Margin over fertiliser costs (MOFC) was on average £1,515/ha for the N-Min and N-Calc programme crop compared with £1,395/ha for the standard farm practice one – a £120/ ha gain. In milling wheat the approach has more than proven its value with high performance varieties like Skyfall, Trinity and Crusoe achieving high yields and protein contents. At Sundorne Estates in Shropshire, yield gains and full protein specification were achieved with Skyfall and Crusoe by fine-tuning applications of DoubleTop using N-Min

and N-Calc resulting in an average MOFC of £1,518/ha.
Spring cropping benefits With increasing numbers of growers opting for spring-sown crops to help them tackle black-grass but complex nutrient interactions determining the final value of the most popular spring barley option, accurate N management is essential, continues Allison. “Spring crops have a lot of growing to do in a short period of time so you have to use nutrients wisely and get them into the crop efficiently to get the best out of them. “It’s complicated by the fact that many people are aiming for malting markets to maximise value, but if you use N inputs without understanding exact crop needs you can end up with excessive nitrogen in the grain and a rejected crop. “The top priority is to know what nitrogen the crops already have available to them from the soil and this is where N-Min followed by N-Calc is essential.”
At John Rowsell Ltd’s West Stoke Farm in Hampshire, the approach followed by Heartland Sulphur (24N 8P 8K 8SO3) added 1t/ha to spring barley yields and returned an extra £175/ha margin over fertiliser costs. Crops using the approach delivered up to 8.34t/ha despite the dry spring and resulting poor germination, compared with an average of 7.3t/ ha for the farm’s standard fertiliser practice.
Oilseed rape success Top spot in the 2017 ADAS Yield Enhancement Network (YEN) initiative for oilseed rape was awarded to longterm CF N-Min and N-Calc advocate Martin Smart from Wiltshire. His yield of 6.4t/ha was the highest of 54 entries of which four of the five growers put forward by CF Fertilisers made the top ten. “The fact that Martin got top spot and four out of the top ten placements were also CF N-Min and N-Calc users speaks volumes for the importance of accurate N assessment and application in oilseed rape,” concludes Allison. ■

No impact on maize yield in under-sowing trials Work to evaluate the effectiveness of under-sowing maize crops with grass to improve over-winter soil stability continues. Dominic Kilburn provides this update. Grass mixtures that contain fescues have all performed for the last two years.
Trials work in 2017 at Reaseheath College, Cheshire studying the impact of under-sown grass in maize crops, has demonstrated that there is no negative impact on maize yield or quality with the practice. Furthermore, the trials have shown that, with some species
of grass and using a one-pass establishment system, maize yields have actually improved compared with controls. Taking place on a relatively light land site at the College, and in partnership with agronomy company Agrovista and machinery manufacturer Pottinger, the trials began in 2016 and are due to continue through 2018 with the main aim of establishing whether undersown grasses can be used to reduce soil and nutrient run-off from maize stubbles over winter, without causing a detrimental impact to the maize yield or quality during the previous growing season. To date, two types of establishment systems have been employed; a one-pass system using a 3m Pottinger Aerosem 3002 ADD drill with split hopper, drilling the maize and the grass simultaneously

Consistent establishment In 2017, as in the previous year, one-pass drilling (of maize and grass simultaneously) was found to be a consistent way to establish grass between the maize rows, while slow growing and deeprooted fescues proved to be the best grass species, seemingly unaffected by shading from the maize. Critically, and this is where the drill being used is key, when drilling the crops together, a 15cm unsown gap must be maintained either side of the maize rows to avoid early competition for the maize seedlings from the grass, as this can result in a marked reduction in harvestable yield, advised Mr Ball. “A maize variety with good early vigour, that gets up and going quickly, is also important,” he added. Using the one-pass Pottinger drill with its ‘Intelligent Distribution System’ has produced the best

at typical maize planting times, and a second system whereby grass is over-sown into established maize later in the season, typically in early to mid-June. Agrovista agronomist John Ball (right) said that there had been no negative impact on maize crops after two years, which was a key aspect if farmers were to consider undersowing a viable option. “Everything we have done so far has been accurately taken to yield using a Pottinger weigh wagon,” commented Mr Ball. “Yield is the key question on farmers’ minds when growing maize and, while soil erosion is an issue post-harvest, they are unlikely to listen to ideas like this if yield is affected,” he said. “The trials are evolving and we are starting to build a picture as to how under-sowing of maize might work, although advice needs to be given to any grower thinking about this kind of activity on their farm,” he suggested. “The threat of future legislation is driving this and we need to be

results so far, said Mr Ball. “Where we wanted to try the alternative system last year of oversowing grass into established maize later in the season, although it had been a very dry start to the year, it turned very wet and so we were unable to get the grass in during early June. “Disappointing though that was, it does demonstrate that timing is
everything and perhaps over-sowing of grass later in the season is an inconsistent way of establishing it with maize,” explained Mr Ball. “In addition, if you are going to drill the grass at the later stage, it’s very easy to disturb the establishing maize and its rooting. There is no purpose-built machinery to do this at the moment so operators must be very careful how they set up the machinery to drill the grass between the rows,” he said.
Grass performance
A 15cm unsown gap must be maintained either side of the maize rows to avoid early competition for the maize seedlings from the grass.
A range of grass seed mixtures were used in 2017 trials and, according to Mr Ball, a festulolium, or ‘advanced fescue’ (a hybrid species of a cross between meadow fescue or tall fescue and ryegrass), plus a straight fescue, established extremely well with the one-pass system. “Designed to be drilled at the same time as the maize, this mixture stayed there until spring after harvest and created a fantastic cover,” Mr Ball pointed out. “What we’ve seen is that mixtures that contain fescues have all performed for the last two years, and this one gave us the deep rooting of the fescues, allowing it to survive,
Unsurpassed yield potential for all mainstream sites with later harvesting
Herbicides and companion cropping If growers have a problem with black-grass or other grass weeds, John Ball suggested that programmes would have to be brought forward to ensure that maize (and grass) planting is not delayed. This means that the onepass system may not suit everyone however as part of the trials in 2017, a 24m plot was applied with pendimethalin at pre-emergence of the maize and grass with little effect on either. “You’ve a limited armoury in terms of weed control in maize but pendimethalin left a very clean strip,” he added. “We followed up with Callisto (mesotrione) and Gyo (pyridate), the latter a new product to the market, at 4-leaf of the crop. Neither has grass weed activity and both are good at controlling a broad-spectrum of weeds, with Gyo boosting the performance of Callisto,” said Mr Ball. while good cover was provided by the ryegrass. “We’ve looked at the rooting structure of fescues and advanced fescues and we think there could be a correlation between their roots and those of the maize roots – a symbiotic relationship which perhaps has an impact on maize yield. “It’s all theory at the moment, but the fescues might be trapping nitrogen while the fibrous roots of the maize could also be finding better soil structure on account of the grasses. “There is something going on with fescues causing yield to rise and
while we are not trying to promote them as a yield enhancer, there is no detriment to yield. The key thing is not affecting the roots of the maize early on while achieving a bit of weed suppression from the grass.” Mr Ball confirmed that the trials will look to investigate grass mixes further this year; including seed rates to ensure the maximum amount of grass establishment and the potential to put commercial mixes together. Rooting relationships and depths will also be studied in more detail by soil pit analysis, while there will be a closer look at soil erosion aspects and weed control issues. ■

New high speed precision drill
The Tempo L 18 will be in production from June 2018.
The new Tempo L 18 precision drill from Vaderstad will be available with row spacing down to 500mm, making it ideal for planting crops such as oilseed rape and sugar beet. It has 18-row units and is available with 500 or 508mm row
spacing, says the manufacturer. The Tempo L 18 can be adjusted down from 18 to 12 row units and when in the 12-row configuration the spacing can be set between 700-800mm. This makes it ideal for crops such as maize, and sunflower.
Under-sowing success will rely on early vigour varieties The practice of under-sowing maize with grass does offer a number of environmental benefits, but it incurs an additional cost for growers and evidence of a potential yield advantage still has to be proved, according to John Burgess of plant breeder, KWS. However, he feels that concerns over chemical run-off and soil erosion could see the practice attracting additional support payments in the future and it may even form part of the regulatory system being planned post-Brexit. One of the main steps towards maximising maize yields is to avoid

competition in the early growth stages, stresses Mr Burgess, and any successful programme of grass under-sowing should be limited to maize varieties with early vigour. These will reach a sufficient height to allow full access to sunlight before the grass seedlings threaten to impede growth. Ideal for the purpose is the early maize forage variety, Avitus KWS (FAO of 160/170), which also has exceptionally high yields and starch content (35.5 per cent). Another suitable variety is the ultra-early Sergio KWS, which has the highest classification for vigour on the current NIAB/BSPB descriptive lists. Flexible on drilling date and producing above-average yields for its maturity class, it has a starch content of more than 34 per cent. Similar qualities can be found in the early variety, Severus (FAO 170), which has starch in excess of 34 per cent and will perform well across all soil types. Grass under-sowing is likely to be limited to farms in relatively high rainfall areas, he adds.

“The grass seed should not be broadcast until the maize has reached the five to eight-leaf stage. On farms with lighter soils in low rainfall areas, this means it will not be sown until June. Therefore, in some parts of the country, seedbed moisture may not be adequate for the grass to establish successfully and growth may be uneven. “Grass under-sowing has several potential benefits, including the enhancement of root structure, increasing soil organic matter and reducing erosion and run-off. But it will require investment and will not be appropriate for every situation; decisions should be taken on an individual farm basis,” says Mr Burgess. ■

Developments increase maize feed potential New maize varieties like Absalon can improve feeding potential by combining high energy yields with improved digestibility.
Recent developments in maize breeding have been largely focused on earlier maturity but a new drive for energy yield and feeding quality could significantly increase milk production from home-grown feeds, says Grainseed technical director Neil Groom. With growing numbers of UK producers benefiting from the development of ‘Bred for Britain’ style ultra early varieties, confidence in the crop continues to rise as producers look to push the home-grown feeds
philosophy to the limit, he says. “There has been a definite change in attitude to the crop over thepast ten years and this has coincided with the availability of varieties that require far fewer heat units to mature than traditional ones. “Not only have they given producers in more marginal areas the opportunity to grow maize in the first place, they have actually challenged the later maturing types for yield while delivering better quality too.” In fact, a survey carried out by the MGA, BGS and Grainseed published last year showed UK maize area has increased by over 14 per cent in the past five years with reliability of forage production cited as the main reason for it, he points out. “Average area of maize grown per farm is now 107 acres – compared with 60 acres in the first survey of 2007 and 78 acres in 2011 – so we’re heading for an almost doubling in area per farm over ten years. “Over 90 per cent of growers say
they consistently hit freshweight yields of 15-20t/acre with three out of every four growers feeding maize all year round as a winter and summer buffer feed.”
Variable weather The popularity of maize shows no signs of slowing down particularly as recent variable weather conditions have made the production of good quality silage difficult for many, he believes. “We’ve had some bad years for grass production and silaging over the past five years with cold and wet summers, yet maize production has been relatively stable with good yields, digestibility and energy resulting. “This is being reflected in longterm Met Office data showing a trend toward warmer springs and winters and less sunshine in the summer months, which tends to work to maize’s advantage. “In breeding terms, we continue to search for varieties which mature with fewer heat units but the emphasis recently has been to combine this earliness with consistency of
production and the next stage will be to increase yields and quality even higher. “The most commonly grown ultra early varieties such as Es Ardent, Picker and Remington are already capable of producing 5.5t/ha starch with ME yields approaching 185,000 Mj/ha even on less favourable sites. “But, in the latest NIAB 2018 forage maize descriptive list for less-favourable sites, the variety with the highest outright ME yield Bonnie achieves 197,000 Mj/ha. For favourable sites this rises to 208,000 Mj/ha. “If a combination of breeding and management can lift this by 5–10 per cent over the next few years, then we should be getting close to rations that can produce 4,500 litres/cow/year from home-grown forage.” Varieties with higher cell wall digestibility are key to this, Neil Groom believes. “On the NIAB 2018 forage maize descriptive list for less-favourable sites, the varieties Bonnie and Absalon have the highest combinations of ME yield and cell wall digestibility – the two are very much connected.” ■

New purchase makes light work of seedbeds Rob Nevin and Mark Worrall of Jackson (Farmers) Ltd.
Pursuit of the perfect seed bed for spring sown crops was the motivation behind farm manager Mark Worrall’s choice of machinery. Mark manages the 3,450ha arable estate for Jackson (Farmers) Ltd at Appleby in North Lincolnshire. Crops include wheat, oilseed rape, winter beans, vining peas, sugar beet and poppies. However it was the spring sown peas, beet and poppies which prompted the purchase of a Dal-Bo 9.3m Rollomaximum. These three crops require specific seedbeds – the sugar beet: around 5 to 6cm deep, but firm – the peas: deeper with a firm under layer on
which the seed is placed and the poppies: shallow, very fine with undisturbed firm layer under to ensure good rooting. The standard build of the Rollomaximum provides a front mounted, hydraulically adjusted cracker/levelling board, 53cm diameter front crosskill roller followed by 4 rows of tines at 8cm spacing, rear mounted spring suspended levelling board with a 50cm crosskill roller at the rear. “I felt it was a bit optimistic to think that one machine could produce the ideal seedbed for three different crops, but it did very well,” says Mark. “We have had some of the best seed beds ever.” Operator Rob Nevin said: “It is easy to set up and equally easy to adjust for different seedbeds and when hitched to one of the farm’s Challengers has an amazing output. Much of the sugar beet ground I did single handed by preparing an area then drilling it.” ■

Plough set-up key to effective grass weed control Setting up the plough for optimum performance is an essential prerequisite if the implement is to be effective in helping to control grass weeds such as black-grass. This is the message from ProCam agronomist Kevin Pearcy, who says common mistakes are being made on today’s arable farms to the detriment of enterprise performance. He believes that the larger tractor and plough combinations now being used on farms are a major reason for the deterioration in ploughing. Emphasis on speed, as opposed to the quality of the job being done, is another reason for poor results. “With the size of tractors and tyres being used, it is more difficult to plough ‘in-furrow’ and achieve effective results,” he says. “Ploughing ‘on-land’ will in many cases be a more effective way to achieve the required results, particularly with the bigger units,” adds Mr Pearcy. While switching to ‘on-land’ ploughing may require a new machine, he is keen to stress that basic set-up and maintenance of an existing machine may well be all that’s required in many situations.
“Spending time to ensure the plough that you have is set up correctly could make all the difference. Basics such as having the skimmers operating at the correct depth and angle, or just making sure the skimmers are adjusted appropriately as the points wear, may be all that’s needed. It’s also worth checking if a narrower furrow width would be more effective in terms of results, particularly in clay soils that are not being ploughed regularly, and that the tractor tyres are compatible with the furrow width. “Remember that the aim of ploughing is to achieve complete trash burial and create a welldrained and airy soil profile. While ploughing is by no means a one-stop solution to problems such as black-grass, it can have a significant role to play when used as part of an overall control strategy. If it’s not set up to perform as it should, we are losing an opportunity.” ProCam has published a guide to setting up the plough for effective grass weed control at https://www.procam.co.uk/ plough-set-up-key-in-effectiveblackgrass-management/ ■
Setting up the plough correctly will result in effective ploughing with good inversion (above); poor results shown in the soil with a higher clay content (right) could be improved potentially with narrower furrow widths and greater attention to detail in the overall set-up.

Sussex dealer open evening promotes new franchise SIP products were announced to potential users at a mid-December open evening at Ernest Doe Power’s Albourne, Sussex depot.
allowing each unit to float fully independently. “These will become big sellers in the UK,” suggests Martin, “as opportunities to make the most of suitable weather windows are limited, so high work rates are essential.”
Rakes
A new range of green harvest machinery has been announced by Ernest Doe & Sons at a midDecember open evening attended by many potential customers. David Williams was there. SIP grass harvest products have been manufactured in Slovenia since 1954 and the brand is recognised across most of Europe for its quality range, although in the UK it is less well known. Until four years ago SIP products were marketed in the UK through an independent importer with just a limited range available, including general-purpose mowers sold through Twose. Now there is a strategy to develop the brand in the UK, with full range availability, through a specialist dealer network and guaranteeing top level service back up for users. “We have a superb range of quality products with support direct from the factory,” explained SIP UK sales director Martin Holden. “We want to develop the brand slowly over the next two to three years through carefully selected dealers and build the reputation here, then expand to ensure all areas of the UK are covered. Effective dealer product training is a priority to ensure customers receive the service they depend on during a busy season.” The range includes mowers, rakes and tedders with specifications to suit multiple user types and 80 per cent of the factory’s production is exported, including to New Zealand where the
brand has developed strong user loyalty. The lightweight Alp range, as the name suggests, is designed for use on steep hillsides and includes smaller working widths 3.5–6.0m suitable for use with typical hill-farm tractors. Wide working widths up to 15m for mowers, as well as tedders and rakes means there is working capacity to suit professional contractors too.
Mowers The company offers a full range of mowers and mower-conditioners and recent innovations include hydraulic suspended front, 3-point mounted and trailed disc mowers. SIP manufactures its own cutterbars for the disc mower range, which has allowed development of a unique drive protection system using brass drive pins which shear and are easily replaced after an impact, without needing to remove components from the gear oil bath which risks contamination. Quick knife release reduces downtime and over-centre folding of rear offset units is standard. A new 5-unit 15m mower, also available as a mower-conditioner, was unveiled at Agritechnica last year
The evening was well attended and included presentations on Case IH machines as well as the new SIP products.
and is available for the 2018 season. S-Flow front mowers offer superb flotation capability helping reduce grass contamination and scalping on undulating land.
Tedders Tedders from 4.55–15.0m are available and even the three largest variants with 10, 12 and 14 rotors fold to under 3m width for transport but remain under 2m high. Each rotor has its own gearbox providing one pivot point and
Rakes are mainly single-rotor, reflecting demand for this size but the line-up includes twin-rotor centre and side-delivery versions up to 10m, while a large 15m 4-rotor model was unveiled at Agritechnica. A unique ‘walking’ axle is available allowing the rakes to accurately follow uneven ground.
Ideal match New Holland and Case IH main dealer Ernest Doe & Sons has branches across East and South-East England, with Ernest Doe Power depots representing Case IH while Ernest Doe outlets supply New Holland. Grass harvest machinery is supplied across the area and, following continued over...
Pictured with Ernest Doe Power Albourne branch manager Phil Bush (left) are farmer and contractor Michael Lee and dealer sales representative Josh Bush. “I think the SIP machines look well built,” commented Michael. “Most of the rakes displayed were smaller sizes, but look very strong, so I’m keen to see larger versions too. I currently use a fixed 8m rake but something with hydraulic width adjustment is needed. I am keen to try it during the season as I have full confidence in the backup and support available from this dealer.” Michael trades as M Lee Agricultural Services and is based at Poynings near Brighton. “Most of my work is contracting; working anywhere in Sussex and carrying out hedgecutting with a Shelbourne Reynolds hedgecutter in the winter and baling 8,000–10,000 bales of hay, straw and silage through spring and summer. Ernest Doe Power has also supplied the family farm CA Lea & Sons with tractors, grass harvesting machinery and an Axial-Flow combine. The family is approximately 600ha of mixed arable and livestock including grassland for 800 ewes. “I have come to the open evening to see the new range, but also to support the dealer team as I know the team is always keen to support me,” he added.

New Holland dealer Ernest Doe will represent SIP products for the trading area north of the Thames in Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire while Case IH dealer Ernest Doe Power has the franchise for the southern area including Sussex, Kent and Surrey. Pictured (l-r) Gerald Silvey, Martin Holden, Graham Parker and Phil Bush.
Farmer and contractor Redhill Farm Services supplies hay and haylage produced from rented grassland in the local area. The company started wrapping bales in the mid 1980s and demand for its wrapped bales grew. Most contract work is grassland and fencing and a 2.4m trailed mower is run currently, but due for replacement. “The build quality of the SIP machines looks very good,” commented partner Martin Fletcher (above). “The 2-year warranty is attractive and reassuring and the price is competitive. “I’m confident of the back-up from Ernest Doe Power so the fact that the SIP range is relatively unknown doesn’t worry me at all. We push our grassland machines hard for three to four months of the year so the last thing we need is a machine out of action due to a breakdown.”

Handler improvements benefit North Yorkshire mixed farm t One of the first new Claas Scorpion telescopic handlers was bought by a North Yorkshire mixed farm. u Buildings are a mix of modern and traditional and space is tight but the new Scorpion offers superb visibility, which reduces risk of damage.
A large poultry unit, sheep, cattle and arable crops mean the Anderson family’s materials handlers are kept busy throughout the year. This made the farm, near Bedale, an ideal test user for one of the first new Claas Scorpions. David Williams saw it at work. All-new handler range Claas Scorpion telescopic handlers are a firm favourite with users, enjoying high standards of back-up from the company’s impressive dealer network. An agreement with long-established German family-owned Liebherr to manufacture the machines for Claas has seen a recent switch from the previous supplier, Kramer. The change provided opportunity for a totally new design although from a distance the characteristic Scorpion shape is retained. Liebherr is known for heavy industrial machinery including large articulated wheeled loaders and part of the companies’ agreement is that Claas has added a selection of these to its agricultural range, badged Torion. The new Scorpion line-up includes
7 models from 3.5-5.6t lift capacity and lift heights from 6-10m. Deutz engines produce 136hp for all except the largest 2 models which both have 156hp. Loading cycle times are significantly faster than before with uprated hydraulic oil flow rates of 106 litres/min from a single gear pump and 160 litres/min from a dual load-sensing pumps upgrade. The two highest capacity models come with the dual pumps standard, but with 200 litres/ min. Established Varipower and Varipower Plus hydrostatic transmissions are retained. These have three speeds, controlled through the joystick. A new feature is the automatic parking brake which engages if the driver leaves the seat, the machine
stops or the engine is switched off. As soon as the accelerator is depressed to start movement, brakes release automatically, saving wear. Dynamic cooling is new to the Scorpion. Featuring on many of the latest tractors this adjusts airflow to meet the cooling requirement, saving fuel when possible and reducing noise. Fan reversing is also included; automatic with manual override, to reverse airflow direction keeping radiators clear of dust and debris. Cabs are all new, boasting much improved visibility and a totally new control layout. Initially gauges are bundled together within a 3.5in screen but from early 2018 a larger 7in display will be an option. Operator assistance features include Smart Loading, with modes such as a bucket return option for cyclic loading operations, with bucket position memorised using a button on the joystick. Fine control of hydraulic functions is available through a toggle button which halves hydraulic operating speed. For transport tasks Smart Roading automatically reduces engine speed to the minimum required for the selected travel speed, saving fuel, wear and tear and noise. Dynamic Power is on the biggest 746 and 756 models, adjusting engine speed in response to joystick movements, and providing extra power and speed when faster response is needed. The previous Scorpion had multiple steering modes but the latest variant includes a new fourth manual crabsteering mode as standard. This allows front axle steering to be controlled independently providing advantages for applications such as working beside walls and compacting edges of silage clamps.
Scorpion has what it takes
The Anderson family farms approximately 255ha and arable crops include wheat and barley grown mainly for feed, oats and oilseed rape which is sold from the farm. Permanent pasture, used for livestock grazing, accounts for approximately 90ha and there are 54,000 free-range hens, 340 breeding ewes, 420 gimmers and 600 lambs, and cattle include 140 dairy-cross heifers, so there is plenty of work to keep 2 handlers busy. Pictured with the new Scorpion are (l-r) David, Nick and Freddie Anderson.
Trading as William Anderson Farmers Ltd the Anderson family farms at Ainderby Myers Farm, near Bedale and moved to Claas handlers from a competitor brand in 2011, due to frequent faults and poor back-up. The Scorpion 6030CP, which lifts 3t to 6m, was chosen partly because of the reputation for excellent back-up from local Claas dealer Sewards at Sinderby, now Claas Eastern, as well as recommendation from neighbours
using similar machines. “Our handlers work a lot of hours,” explained partner Nick Anderson. “Seasonal tasks include bale handling in the field and muck loading, but every day we load feed for 54,000 hens which totals 2,500t per year, plus another 200t of cereal for the cattle. Our Scorpion was due for replacement in 2017 having worked 6,500hrs and we had no hesitation ordering another Claas. “The service from Claas and the dealer has been superb. When faults occur we have barely put the phone down and an engineer appears in the yard. We are always dealt with fairly, and when things have gone wrong out of warranty then sometimes the manufacturer has contributed to the cost. It’s real old-fashioned quality service and we can’t ask for more than that.” When a quote was received for a direct replacement, there was also the option of a pre-series version of the new model, expected to arrive up to six months before general release. “We knew we would be well looked after by Claas and knew Liebherr’s great reputation so were confident to order the new model, even though we had only seen pictures on an i-Pad,” commented Nick. “It eventually arrived in November, later than expected but we kept our old machine in the meantime which left with over 7,000hrs worked but remained reliable.” The farm is across three sites up to five miles apart so there is a lot of road work. “The previous Scorpion had 30kph maximum speed and wasn’t the best to drive on the road so operators tended to avoid it and use something else,” he added. “The new Scorpion does 40kph and its on-road performance is excellent. They are totally different to drive and better visibility is a big help on the road too.”
Cab improvements Nick said the new cab is significantly better than the previous version. “The main advantage is the all-around visibility,” he explained. “The view to the right is improved by the low boom continued over...

Lubrication points are also more accessible. “Getting at the grease nipples wasn’t too bad before, but the rear axle has been improved and grease nipples can now be accessed from above,” he said. The Scorpion moves trailers around the yard and pulls bale trailers during harvest. “We use the trailer hitch and hitching up is easier than before,” said Nick. “The mirror gives a good view and the light beside it helps in dark sheds.”

Appeals to dealers

position, making it much easier to judge clearances. We have some tight working areas so handlers are prone to knocks and scrapes but the risk is lower now. The previous model had mirrors all over it to improve the view, but these were susceptible to being knocked. The new handler has fewer mirrors as it doesn’t need them, so potential for damage is reduced.” The new cab has improved air distribution through more air vents. “The windows clear quickly on a cold, damp morning but we usually operate the handler with the window open anyway so misting up wasn’t a problem before,” commented David. Operator comfort is better generally with more leg space, mainly the result of a free-standing steering column and many switches moved to the roof. “It might not appeal to everyone,” added David, “but lots of leg room either side improves comfort.” In-cab noise levels are much lower. “There is little noise in the cab and outside it seems quieter too,” said Nick.
“This handler has three gears rather than two previously but it isn’t just the reduced engine revs, the tone seems sweeter,” he explained. Manoeuvrability is improved. “We have all noticed that despite being slightly larger and on bigger 460/70R24 tyres it’s easier to use around the yard. The extra visibility and faster cycle times mean most tasks are completed a good 30 per cent faster. We can’t believe how handy it is, and in the field we really see a difference in traction when it’s muddy,” he added. Nick explained it’s hard to compare fuel use but that the new Scorpion is the farm’s first machine needing Adblue. “We bought a drum so we had plenty available but each tank refill lasts approximately 90 operating hours so it hasn’t been an issue,” he explained.
Easier maintenance Maintenance is another area of improvement and David said the more open layout means less build up of mud and other debris and easier
Top &c far
Claas Eastern sales director Jeremy Preece commented the new Scorpion has been well received by potential customers. “The previous range was good but the new models offer increased productivity and greater ease of use. With Liebherr, Claas is offering a wider range of models to meet customer requirements and our demonstration machine, which arrived in late January, will be busy in the coming months, as we have had considerable interest,” he said.

cleaning, so checks are carried out more easily. A big improvement is that under the boom is open, allowing debris to fall straight through to the ground. “Previously muck and straw built up below the boom and had to be cleared out. The new design is much better.”
The new handler recently had its first service and Nick Anderson is in no doubt that the decision to invest in the new Scorpion was a good one. “Claas and Liebherr have done a good job. It’s well put together, it looks strong and it’s so much faster than the previous version. The visibility is the biggest improvement though making it much easier to use. We don’t expect any problems, but if any occur we know the back-up from Claas and our dealer will be excellent,” he added. “Our other handler is a compact model, used mainly in the poultry sheds and as soon as Claas has something equivalent we will be keen to try it.” ■

Demonstration attendance boosted by easy season
As sugar beet harvesting continues in full swing with record yields and excellent working conditions, users found time to try out the latest harvester offerings from Grimme. David Williams was there. Grimme has an enviable reputation for premium quality potato planting and harvesting machinery, but is less well known for its sugar beet harvesters which were added to its line-up more recently. However, the situation is changing and this was reflected by excellent attendance to working demonstration days in Cambridgeshire and Nottinghamshire, where owners and users of competitor brands were keen to see how Grimme machines compared. “Grimme has a very loyal following by potato growers,” explained marketing manager Adam Johnson. “Quality of build, thoughtful design and superb performance and reliability mean our products are unrivalled and the back-up we offer from our UK base as well as the German headquarters is second to none. It was logical that Grimme brought its expertise to beet harvesting too, and while many early users already operated our potato machinery, now we are seeing a move to the brand by new customers through recommendation.” Grimme offers trailed and self-propelled harvesters, its
self-propelled range including Maxtron tracked, and Rexor wheeled machines, with up to 30t capacity and lifting units up to nine rows.
Ideal venue The Cambridgeshire event was on land farmed by PJ Lee & Sons trading as Highflyer Farms, at Yaxley near Peterborough. Approximately 4,400ha is farmed by the familyowned business which specialises in potatoes for the chipping industry. Root crops, cereals and vegetables are also grown on owned and tenanted land across Cambridgeshire and into Norfolk. The Lee family’s potato harvesting fleet consists of eight Grimme machines; mainly self-propelled, and the company bought its first Grimme sugar beet harvester for the current season, moving from a competitor brand.

Rexor’s open design which makes it easy to work on. Operators have a clear view of the lifters and cleaning table making it easy to monitor lifting performance whereas work lights were needed on our previous machine, even during the day, and were tiring for operators.

have less soil to move from under the cleaner loader after loading lorries,” he explained. Another issue Andrew highlighted with the previous machine was that in muddy conditions a ‘sausage’ could form in the base of the unloading elevator, so a period of running the elevator empty at full speed was needed continued over...

p Operator Martin Harlock said the Grimme Rexor is a big improvement on the Lee’s previous machine. t Pictured with the Rexor 620 are partner Andrew Lee (left) and estate manager Simon Quince. ...from previous page
periodically to break up the mass. Andrew said the Rexor’s hydraulic drive system has more power to cope in heavy conditions too. “In muddy, high-yielding crops the machine would slow down, but we don’t experience this now,” he explained. “Another advantage is the Grimme software which is similar to the potato harvesters making it easy for operators to move between machines, and reducing time for training. “Obviously it also helps dealing with just one supplier for so much machinery including planters, harvesters and handling equipment. This makes it easier to sit down and discuss all our requirements. We are well looked after for everything and have great loyalty to the brand.” Andrew is keen to take on more beet harvesting work and believes efficiencies could be gained through a move to a wider header. “The machines can’t get much longer, wider or heavier,” he explained, “but a 9-row header would allow us to cover more ground with less time wasted for headland turns and would reduce passes up the field saving wheelings and compaction. It’s something we are keen to look at for the future.”
Contractor AJ & SR Mann is based at Wisbech St Mary, Cambs and harvests almost 1,200ha of beet in Cambs, Lincs and Huntingdonshire. “It’s been a kind season from the start, when conditions weren’t too dry and hard, and since then we have only had to stop for six days due to unfavourable weather,” said Andrew Mann. “We operate two harvesters; a 20 and a 22t and have heard a lot about the Grimme machines so we were keen to come along and find out more. We have had a drive on both and they seem good. Our current harvesters both have lifting shears which work well for us as we operate in varied conditions. We have only 25ha still to lift and it’s been a good year with yields up to 104t/ha.” Pictured with Andrew (left) is Steven Mann.
No doubts from user Harvester operator Martin Harlock used the Lee’s previous harvester for three years but was involved with the decision to move to Grimme having tried out a demonstration machine two years’ ago. “I really liked it, the comfort and ease of use were better,” he said. “Our own Rexor has proved even easier to use, with features such as Speedtronic which optimises performance of the cleaning system to maintain a constant standard and protect the beet. I just set the speed of the turbines to the minimum I feel necessary, then hydraulic system loading is constantly monitored to determine how hard the front turbine is working. If the load increases then the second and third turbine speed increases along with the ring elevator to move beet through more quickly. Once set I can forget about it in the knowledge it will cope as conditions vary up and down the field and because we don’t have to run the turbines faster than necessary we protect the beet which increases saleable crop and sugar yields. Speedtronic leaves me free to keep an eye on everything else going on.” Martin said the Rexor’s walking continued over...
Speedtronic monitors torque loading on the first turbine and adjusts the speed of the ring elevator, plus second and third turbines to maintain a constant cleaning standard.
Martin feels Grimme walking shears maximise saleable yield and sugar content by keeping as much of the taproot as possible. A clever automatic steering system uses beet feelers ahead of the defoliator to position the harvester using the rear steering axle, but fine-tuning is achieved by sensors on the walking shears which monitor lateral forces during work. Minor adjustments are achieved through the front axle steering.

shear lifters also protect the crop. “We had walking shears previously but they oscillated up and down as well as forward and back,” he explained. “The Grimme shears move only forward and back, lifting beet with more of the tap root intact.”
Positive feedback Grimme beet harvester product specialist David Wadsley said Speedtronic has been fitted to the company’s potato harvesters for approximately seven years but that its function is to maintain a constant unloading elevator load to minimise damage. He said Ergodrive is another innovation borrowed from the potato harvesters, making it easier to adjust frequently used settings from a handy touch-pad beside the operator, avoiding the need to access them through the in-cab terminal. Adam said response from attendees was extremely positive. “Almost all the visitors are operating other brands currently but are keen to find out what Grimme can offer and feedback suggests the brand is increasingly coming in for consideration,” he added. ■

Green farming focus for Agri-Expo seminars Organisers of Agri-Expo at the Kent County Showground are expecting record numbers of exhibitors on 7th March.
As well as showcasing machinery, supplies and services for farmers, landowners, amenity and landscape specialists organisers of this year’s
Agri-Expo are also keen to provide an opportunity for farmers to update their knowledge. A breakfast meeting will include updates from Jack Watts of the NFU and formerly lead grain market analyst for the AHDB. Later a midday seminar will address the question, “Is the future of agriculture bright and is the future green?” Hosted by Ramsak, guest speakers will discuss issues around soil and
land management, and green subsidies. A panel of experts will also be on hand to answer financial, legal and tax questions about moving to a greener farming regime. Karen Wheeler at Pitchfork Events said: “This year we are covering a really hot topic, especially following
Michael Gove’s recent announcement on future farm subsidies and a move towards payments for greener farming. “We hope this session will provide information which will inform and shape farming practices here in the South East for the future.” ■

New generation tractor unveiled Kubota has unveiled its new M7002 series, successor to the M7001 models. The new tractors, with up to 170hp, have improved features and are easier to use, with better customisation options and manoeuvrability, says Kubota. The main innovation in the M7002 series is the new 6-speed powershift transmission, in 30/15 or 54/27 if equipped with creeper. Specifications have also been
improved, such as the increase in maximum permissible weight to 11,500kg, offering a greater payload, together with efficient engine performance focused on increased power and lower fuel consumption. This all increases the productivity of the tractors, which can be driven at up to 50kph. The tyre size range has been increased, with the addition of 600/60R28 sizes for the front
axle and 710/60R38 for the rear, minimising compaction and maximising traction. The new Kubota M7002 adds suspension and low-noise options to the comfort features already recognised in its predecessor, as well as other new elements. These include the Deluxe seat, for greater comfort and LED lights for better visibility and a higher quality finish inside the cabin.

Tractor win helped Shropshire farm in a tricky year Four generations of the Morris family of Clun, Shropshire are pictured with the Case IH Maxxum 135MC, at the end of its 6-month loan. Pictured (l-r) back row - Western Farm Services Ltd director Ian Mills; Case IH area sales manager Andrew Davies; Vic, Graham, Brian and Neil Morris and in front; Margaret, Ewan and Ed Morris.
Winning six months’ use of a Case IH Maxxum 135MC tractor this year meant the Morris family of Clun could make the most of weather windows. David Williams reports. The competition, arranged jointly by Case IH and Farmers Guide, offered one lucky winner use of the tractor complete with front loader from late spring until autumn. The Maxxum range includes models from 145– 175hp (max) and is a firm favourite with mixed farms, capable of yard work where manoeuvrability is a key requirement and for field work where the specification allows high work rates with miserly fuel consumption. The Maxxum 135MC has up to 169hp available and allows easy set-up and system management via the Multicontroller armrest with its touch-screen and joystick. The LRZ120 loader supplied has suspension and auto-levelling, lifts up to 4.07m, and carries up to 2.3t. Trading as SJC Morris & Sons, three generations are involved running Whitcott Evan Farm and future
succession appears no problem with the fourth, youngest generation already getting involved at every opportunity. Approximately 400ha is farmed between five sites, most of it grassland for feed and grazing. A 180-head suckler herd and a large flock of sheep keep the family busy. Arable crops account for 80ha, grown for feed and straw mainly on the flat uplands above the valley at up to 1,300ft. Farmers Guide visited the farm in late autumn, joining local main Case IH dealer Ian Mills of Western Farm Services Ltd and Case IH area sales manager Andrew Davies at the end of the loan period, for the tractor’s return.
Made life easier “This year has been quite tricky weather-wise and as a mixed farm we juggle tasks between the cattle, sheep and arable crops to get things
done when we can,” Brian (Wilf) Morris explained. “The extra tractor made a big difference and, with the benefit of hindsight, the biggest advantage was being able to get stubble turnips planted with one tractor while the Maxxum was available to load and spread manure. Usually we can only do one or the other and the time saving meant we completed time-sensitive field tasks between periods of wet weather. We were also very fortunate that just as our crops were ready to harvest the weather turned dry, then we had a period of dry weather again when we were ready to drill.” Most of the tractor’s early work was yard and transport tasks including corn and bale carting, but it also did almost all the baling and later carried out most cultivations. “It really was impressive in the field,” said Brian. “It did all the ploughing and handled our heavy Kuhn 5f reversible well. Usually this is on our 6-cylinder tractor so I was surprised the 4-cylinder Maxxum was so capable. We left the loader on as ballast rather than fitting front weights
and it had no trouble at all on the headlands or travelling to and from the field. There was no shortage of power either. Adblue consumption increased, but it wasn’t an issue.” With the Maxxum ploughing, the farm’s own large tractor remained on the mixer wagon, which in turn meant another tractor was available for the hedgecutter all autumn. “It’s not just the time each task takes,” explained Graham Morris. “It’s also the time spent hitching and unhitching implements or trailers so the additional tractor made it easier to make the most of work opportunities.” Cab comfort is rated high by all the farm’s users and the passenger seat comes in for particular praise. “We often carry a passenger and noticed the difference between the comfort and space of the Maxxum compared to our other tractors, but additional storage space for odds and ends would have been handy,” commented Graham. The slopes of the Clun Valley continued over...

The Maxxum’s loader cycle times came in for praise. ...from previous page
demand well maintained tractor and trailer brakes but the Maxxum’s exhaust brake (standard for all UKspecification 50kph models), proved very efficient, saving wear and tear on the mechanical system. “It’s really effective,” said Graham, “and even if it cost extra it’s something we would definitely choose for our situation.” The tractor’s manoeuvrability was questioned early on in the loan period, particularly in regard to working in confined stock yards but Vic Morris
said his opinion altered as time went on. “It’s actually pretty good,” he said. “Once I had got used to its handling characteristics and limitations it proved easy to use. We used it on our straw bedder a few times and although the Maxxum was much bigger than needed, its size wasn’t an issue in the sheds.”
Tempted to keep it Asked whether the family was tempted to put in an offer to keep the tractor, Vic suggested that this was considered, but having upgraded the farm’s combine earlier this year, postponing the tractor purchase decision was felt prudent. “We like the Maxxum, it would have been nice to keep it but we would be keen to try the latest specification with CVT or the improved powershift transmission when it’s available next year as, for baling, we occasionally felt greater overlap between gear ranges would have been useful,” he added.
The 4-cylinder tractor handled the heavy Kuhn plough with ease.
Ian Mills said the new transmission will have appeal. “The Maxxum is the most popular model we sell in this area. Mixed farms account for the majority of users and although we have been able to offer CVT, which is superb in all situations, for many farms justifying the extra cost is difficult. The new transmission greatly increases overlap between gears and ranges and will improve operation and efficiency.” The factory-fitted loader also came in for praise, its fast cycle times making it quicker for loading than the farm’s telescopic handler. “We used it for loading the diet feeder and bale handling,” said Graham. “It’s very controllable but when we first received the tractor and being used to our handler, the speed of loader movement could take us by surprise. Loading big bags of fertiliser it performed well, easily lifting two at a time.” The tractor was used for grassland tasks including fertiliser application and mowing. Graham said the Maxxum always felt stable working on the steep Clun Valley slopes so users felt confident. Neil Morris spent most time on the tractor and complemented its comfort. “I had several 12hr days ploughing and cultivating and this highlighted the advantages of the Multicontroller
touch-screen to set up the hydraulics. We hadn’t had experience of anything similar previously but setting timers for functions such as turning over the plough at the headlands made the job easier. “Much of the ploughing was in damp conditions after muck had been spread but traction was no problem and the tractor coped well up and down the slopes,” he added. “The muck spreader we hired in for the season was a 10t model and the Maxxum handled that easily too.”
Impressed by service Local dealer Western Farm Services Ltd looked after the tractor while it was with the Morris family and a good working relationship quickly developed. “We had a few minor teething issues early on and some questions about some of the set-up and director Ian Mills was very quick to assist. We hadn’t dealt with the dealer previously but got on so well we bought a baler wrapper during the season and will definitely be using them in future.

Unique monoblock triple housing The high-performance monoblock triple housing gearbox exclusively manufactured by SAMSON AGRO, delivers an extremely high rotational speed to the beaters enabling excellent shredding of the material. The integrated elastic couplings guarantee that foreign objects are transferred safely. The large amount of oil ensures a constant high performance as well as natural cooling. It also helps to prevent the formation of cracks and ensures an exceptionally long life.
Farmers and contractors in Eastern England are to benefit from an agreement between Claas Eastern dealers and Danish slurry and muck spreader manufacturer Samson. David Williams reports. The agreement, which gives the Comprehensive range Claas dealer’s customers access to Samson’s range includes muck the full range of Samson machinery, spreaders from 9–23m3 and slurry came into effect from the tankers from 16,000–35,000 litres. beginning of January and means In recent years demand for accurate no competing products will be slurry application has seen increased stocked or sold by the Claas Eastern sales of injection equipment and network.

Impressive test of latest Manitou handlers
p Cab access is excellent. Large grab handles and a wide opening door make it easy to enter and exit and a cutaway cab floor above the step means feet remain firmly on the steps even while leaning into the cab.
Farmers Guide was invited to try out Manitou’s latest NewAg handlers, with revolutionary features improving operating efficiency.
Supplies of the all-new telescopic handlers from Manitou were limited until production caught up with demand. David Williams tried out the new models. Manitou launched its MLT NewAg range with a host of new features designed to improve user experience and productivity. NewAg models cover the popular midsize market segment and getting them right is essential for the manufacturer to compete against some very stiff competition. A totally new cab provided an opportunity to start with a clean sheet in terms of control layout and comfort and adding new transmissions to the line-up means dealers can offer something for every situation and to suit user preference.
Transmission options Transmission options are Powershuttle; base torque converter with four manual gears. Powershift Plus includes manual or automatic gear changing with constant drive torque maintained. M-Varioshift is hydrostatic with two speed ranges, and M-Vario Plus is the top version with a single 0-40kph speed range
and the ability to automatically adjust torque. The range offers lift heights from 5.85-9.00m and capacities from 3,000-4,100kg. Deutz engines provide 101-136hp. Three specification variants are available for most models including Classic, Premium with additional features and Elite.
Compact model retained The smallest model is the MLT630, which replaces the previous MLT629. There are three versions, all with 101hp, including a compact MLT630105CP, which is 2.14m high, and 2.06m wide on 20in wheels. This is available only with Vario (hydrostatic) transmission incorporating two speed ranges and offering 40kph maximum transport speed. The MLT630-105 has a 4-speed manual torque converter transmission and is available on tyres up to 460/70R24, but is also available as the MLT630-105V with hydrostatic transmission.
Controls are all-new. Colour-coded operating buttons can be lifted out and inserted in different slots to suit operator preference without re-wiring.
New transmission The MLT635 has 3,500kg lift capacity and is available in 129hp 130PS+ 6-speed torque converter, and 136hp 140V+ CVT variants. V+ transmissions use two radial piston motors to provide the drive. This allows superb flexibility and great fuel economy as below 16kph both motors operate providing maximum torque for yard work equivalent to a torque converter, but above 16kph up to maximum 40kph just one motor operates, saving fuel with reduced oil flow. The V+ version with its more powerful engine also offers higher hydraulic oil flow rates up to 170 litres/min for faster cycle times.
Hydrostatic drive benefits Hydrostatic drive provides additional user-friendly features including selectable ‘Comfort’ and ‘Dynamic’ operating modes allowing drive take-up to be tailored to the work situation. For handling full buckets of grain on concrete, for example, selecting comfort mode provides gentle acceleration and direction changes to minimise spillage during shuttling. An ‘Inching’ feature allows the operator to speed up boom movements using increased engine speed, even while reducing travel speed. Eco mode allows the user to optimise engine speed for economy and reduced noise, without compromising boom and attachment movements for situations where maximum power isn’t required. Regenerative hydraulics are
standard on Premium and Elite V+ models, but an option on PS+. When selected, this allows boom descent by gravity rather than requiring pumped hydraulic oil flow providing faster boom cycle times and leaving oil flow available for other functions.
Intelligent Hydraulics Intelligent Hydraulics are an option on PS+, and V+ Classic and Premium models but standard on V+ Elite. This feature includes additional modes to aid users and increase work-rates. ‘Quicklift’ maintains a constant fork or bucket position relative to the front of the machine by simultaneously extending or retracting the boom during lifting and lowering. This is ideal for operations such as pallet stacking or trailer loading. ‘Bucket Shaker,’ as the name suggests, provides automated bucket shaking during tipping to free sticky materials. ‘Return to Load’ allows a bucket to return to a ‘memorised’ position with just one touch on the controls, speeding up each loading cycle. continued over...
Ease of maintenance features highly. The dashboard display includes service interval warnings and remote greasing points will be popular with users, avoiding the need to kneel in slurry for access.

Cost-effective performance Manitou hasn’t forgotten those needing just a no-frills handler. The mid-range MLT733 is a 7m model available only in Classic or Premium specifications. It has the comfortable new cab but lacks the premium features of other machines in the range. A 101hp engine is mated to a 4-speed manual torque converter transmission. Top speed is 33kph and hydraulic performance can be uprated from 104 litres/min standard to 150 litres/min as an option.
Larger models The MLT737 PS+ is a 6.9m, 3,700kg machine with a 129hp engine and torque converter transmission, but for users requiring greater flexibility the MLT741 140 V+ offers more capacity, has a 136hp engine, and CVT transmission, and will lift 4,100kg to 6.9m. Topping off the range is the MLT940 140 V+ with a 136hp engine, CVT transmission and capable of lifting 4,000kg to 9m. A trailer hitch is standard and smaller models have a bolted
version but on larger machines it is integrated for additional strength. All 136hp models include a hydraulic-driven cooling fan as standard, with automatic or manual reversing to keep cooling screens free of debris. Manitou UK commented that Elite specification is chosen by approximately 90 per cent of UK farmers including features such as boom suspension, an option on lower spec machines.
Unique cab features All NewAg models feature Manitou’s new cab. Visibility is excellent, including for high level work where a patented angled, slatted roof screen provides protection from overhead loads with minimal interruption to the view.
Patented angled slats protect from overhead impact while maximising highlevel vision.
Rear axle pivots work hard and need regular lubrication. Grease nipple extensions up to the mudguard mounts avoid the need to lie on the floor and access from beneath.
Two wipers, both on the same arm, keep the front screen clear with a short wiper servicing the lower section to maintain a clear view close in front. The right hand cab window also has a large wiper. Handler cab access is usually compromised by recessed steps to minimise side projection but these make it awkward to lean in while entering. Manitou’s practical solution is a cutaway in the cab floor immediately above the steps which allows adequate boot grip on the metal rungs, while transferring weight on to the seat.
The MLT635 is available with torque converter or CVT transmission. A test of both on a silage clamp demonstrated the impressive drive torque available at the wheels of the CVT machine. The new twin-motor transmission also provided powerful engine braking when descending the steep slope improving safety over the mechanical drive machine and reducing brake wear and tear.
Controls are all new, well laid out and easy to use. Current Manitou users will be pleased to hear the popular JSM joystick is retained. It controls all main functions and includes the thumb-operated shuttle button. Lift, lower and tip actions are all by moving the main joystick while thumb-operated rollers extend and retract the boom, while accessory buttons control attachments.
New electronic displays There are two display screens, depending on specification. Harmony is the base version, with an analogue dial indicating engine revs along with fuel level and engine temperature and standard on Classic and Premium models, while a larger 7in rectangular digital display, the Vision, is included in the Elite specification. Both screens include pop-ups indicating operating modes as they are selected as well as faults and warnings. Exclusive to the new handlers is the ability to swap switch positions on the dashboard to suit operator preference. Canbus wiring means each switch is ‘recognised’ by the system so the position allocated on the control panel has no affect on operation. All switches are colourcoded for safety and ease of use; blue for hydraulic functions, orange for transmission or engine, red for safety and black for other functions. As soon as a button is activated the display confirms the selected function.
Test drive The demonstration included an opportunity to try all the new models in different working situations from

trailer towing to pallet loading, and handling silage on a clamp. From the base Classic machines to the top Elite specification operation was straightforward and it took little time to get used to the controls. Visibility is excellent, and an operating area laid out with tightspaced road cones demonstrated the ability to view all corners of the machine from the seat. The joystick has an unusual appearance but fits perfectly in the palm of the hand. All functions are easily operated without repositioning or stretching hands excessively. A hand throttle is an option on most models but standard on Elite, favoured by UK farmers. On Vario (hydrostatic) models it allows engine speed to be set while the foot pedal regulates travel speed, ideal for working with attachments such as a hydraulic-driven brush where constant hydraulic flow is needed. continued over...

...from previous page
The MLT635 140V+ with CVT transmission (above) was a firm favourite with all operators for its ease and smoothness of use. With gentle transmission mode selected wheel spin was minimised, improving clamp consolidation. There appeared to be just as much tractive power available as with the MLT635 130PS+ machine.
Inching mode allows travel speed to be reduced using the brake pedal during the first 50 per cent of its travel, while engine speed and hydraulic flow rates remain high for rapid boom movement, maintaining fast cycle times. This proved effective during the loading scenario when approaching the side wall of the silage clamp and simultaneously lifting the boom to tip the load over the top. Noise levels in the cab are extremely low. Manitou claims just 73dB, and neither the engine or hydraulic system noises were intrusive, whatever the application.
Verdict Manitou has done a great job of redesigning its core handler range. From ease of maintenance to cab comfort, and features to ease operation the new models are excellent. Particularly impressive are the new top CVT models with their dual hydrostatic motor drive. These proved a match for mechanical torque converter versions on the clamp during climbing and pushing, but For those pulling heavy trailers long distances, but who don’t require the precise control available from CVT drive, torque converter transmission will probably remain the top choice offering optimum fuel efficiency.

allowed better speed control during descents where Powershift machines depended on the brakes to prevent running away. Gentle take-up of drive when shuttling on the steep clamp slope prevented wheelspin, protecting the compacted material and ensuring the even surface was retained. Changing the mode to aggressive shifting increased wheelspin and slope damage. The additional ease of use was preferred for all situations and even those who have preferred mechanical drive in the past should try the new Vario CVT before committing to their next machine. ■

Tyres & Tracks
Power on the Land Tyre technology is progressing rapidly with precision farming features included among the most recent developments. Mike Williams writes. The Variable Inflation Pressure or VIP system introduced by Trelleborg at this year’s Agritechnica event uses special sensors to maintain a constant footprint area and minimise soil compaction. The sensors constantly check factors such as the load on the tyres and the temperature, and use this data to adjust the inflation pressure automatically to maintain the
optimum performance. The system has been introduced for combine harvester tyres, which cope with significant weight changes as the grain tank fills or empties, and the reduction in soil compaction can be as much as 10–15 per cent, the company says. Also new from Trelleborg is the special PneuTrac tyre designed to combine benefits of radial tyres and rubber tracks. Intended for special situations such as orchard and vineyard work, the unique design provides a larger footprint area to minimise soil and root damage when working between the rows, with the added benefit of increased lug efficiency plus better lateral stability when working on side slopes.
Flotation series Variable Inflation Pressure or, VIP tyres, from Trelleborg have automatic pressure adjustment using a built-in compressor and are designed for combine harvesters.
Recent additions to the Alliance range from the off-highway tyre specialist, ATG, include the new 128 high-speed flotation series designed specifically for trailers and

towed equipment such as manure spreaders and balers. The innovative tread pattern includes shoulder lugs to increase the tractive force, there are centre rib lugs to give a smoother ride with reduced rolling resistance for road travel and the shoulders have a rounded profile to minimise soil damage. Also announced last year were additional sizes for the Alliance Agriflex row crop tyre range designed for tractors and equipment such as self-propelled sprayers. The tyres are designed to minimise soil compaction while maintaining driver comfort with improved stability for on-road travel.
Standard rims The BKT range distributed by Kirby Tyres includes the Agrimax V-Flecto series tractor tyres available in 600/60 R30 and 710/60R42 sizes. Announced last year, the new tyres are designed to fit standard rims instead of the special VF series rims required previously, and the design includes a reinforced bead and a high resistance casing allowing the tractor to work on and off-road without adjusting the inflation pressure. The list of benefits claimed for the new Agrimax V-Flecto tyres also includes a 10 per cent increase in the working life plus the continued over...

ability to carry up to 40 per cent more weight than a comparable standard tyre. A 10 per cent increase in the footprint area helps to reduce soil damage and the improved lug shape is designed to provide an increase in driver comfort.
Axles and wheels Nottinghamshire based Tyremart was established in 1979 when it became the official distributor for the Colaert range of axles and steering systems from France. Another major development came in 1990 when Colaert became part of the international ADR group of companies, and this opened up new business opportunities for Tyremart and eventually resulted in Tyremart being bought by ADR in 2000. Axles for agricultural equipment are still a major part of the ADR Tyremart business, which supplies rigid and steering axles throughout the UK. The company also carries large stocks of agricultural wheels plus a range of suspension systems suitable for trailed and self-propelled equipment, supplying equipment manufacturers as well as individual
Power on the Land customers. Because of the highly specialised nature of the equipment it sells and the importance of correctly matching axles and wheels with braking and steering systems, Tyremart also offers an advisory service for customers who need guidance when choosing new running gear.
Rubber track market Crawler tractors have been available for more than 100 years, but their recent popularity follows the introduction of rubber tracks by Caterpillar in 1987. As the company name suggests, the Brocks Wheel & Tyre business is one of the leading specialist suppliers of agricultural wheels and tyres, but it has also expanded into the rubber track market. The business, based on the Brock family’s farm in Essex, supplies complete track systems plus replacement tracks to fit most of the leading tractor makes and for other equipment such as trailers and combine harvesters. The company’s interest in rubber tracks first started about six years ago when it was offered the agency to sell the Bridgestone range, and it now offers a choice of different makes

of track including the popular Soucy range. Interest in rubber tracks has been increasing, said Percy Brock, and he expects to see sales continuing to grow. Farmers are increasingly concerned about soil damage, he says, and rubber tracks have proved to be an effective way to reduce compaction.
Reducing soil damage Lincolnshire based Sly Agri specialises in supplying rubber track equipment, offering the IMTS range that includes complete track systems for powered and trailed equipment. With many of the biggest self-propelled harvesters now mounted on tracks or extra
width tyres to extend the footprint, the main cause of soil damage during harvesting is often the trailer, and replacing the wheels with an IMTS rubber track system can be an effective method of reducing compaction. The Sly Agri range also includes the EnduraTrax range of replacement tracks, but another option for dealing with worn tracks is to use the Endura-Retrax service that retains the main carcase of the track but adds a replacement tread. The retread service is said to offer up to a 45 per cent reduction in operating cost while restoring the tread depth to maintain an efficient performance. ■

Growth in sales of high tech tracks Eurotrack offers a comprehensive range of CAMSO rubber tracks.
Premium tracks are becoming increasingly popular, according to Eurotrack which specialises in the supply of replacement agricultural rubber tracks and wheels. The company offers a comprehensive range of CAMSO rubber tracks from the recently launched entry level AG 2500 series to the AG 6500 series. It has noted increased sales of the AG 6500 series, which it says are engineered for the toughest agricultural applications.
Operators are more frequently demanding the very best in track technology says Eurotrack. “The AG 6500 tracks provide unmatched performance and durability and CAMSO is confident that these tracks will give operators at least an extra season of work when compared with other tracks,” says the company. The CAMSO AG 6500 track is manufactured to fit most models of tracked tractor and has become the most popular track for the CASE IH Quadtrac over the past three years overtaking sales of the AG 3500 series. The introduction of the 32in 6500 track has proved particularly popular and has become Eurotrack’s biggest selling product within two years of its launch. The 32in track offers many benefits over the 30in most notably offering greater floatation and reducing the amount of debris build up in the undercarriage, therefore prolonging the life of undercarriage wheels. ■
Premium tyre for farming Tyre manufacturer Pirelli has launched a new premium product for the European agricultural sector. The Pirelli PHP line is the result of a long-term collaboration between Prometeon’s research and development centres in Milan and Santo André, Brazil and is tailored to the needs of European farmers. The PHP Line offers a high level of traction due to lug shape optimisation and, on wet soil, the Pirelli-patented shoulder and inter-lug area geometry provide ‘excellent’ self-cleaning, says the manufacturer. Good traction and lower rolling resistance ensure greater fuel efficiency, says Prometeon, while the tread design, together with a new generation of compounds provide even wear and a long service life. The optimised footprint and casing flexibility help reduce soil compaction, while the sidewall profile and structure better balance vertical and lateral stiffness. Driving safety and vehicle stability on the road are

First flotation tyre with high flexion technology Alliance says that it has the only tyre brand offering a real solution for protecting the soil when pulling trailers, sprayers and spreaders. According to the company, farmers can now benefit from the company’s VF technology (very high flexion) during all agricultural operations, highlighting that the A389VF is the only flotation tyre with VF technology available on the market. Prior to the launch of the Alliance 389VF, farmers used to drive their tractors fitted with VF tyres in order to reduce soil compaction, but any benefit was then unavoidably lost
when a trailer equipped with standard tyres passed over the same ground, says the company. Now, thanks to the combination of flotation and VF features, the ground has maximum protection by operating at 30 per cent lower tyre pressure or with 30 per cent more load at the same pressure as a conventional flotation tyre. The size range of the 389VF is increasing, points out the company. Six sizes have already been released and are now available: VF 560/60R22.5; VF 600/55R26.5; VF 650/55R26.5; VF 710/50R26.5; VF 750/45R26.5 and VF 750/60R30.5.
The Alliance 389VF offers soil protection benefits across all farming operations.
A further two sizes are also under development including the VF 650/60R26.5 and VF 800/60R32. Furthermore, the company offers a wide range of VF tyres designed for
other field activities – the Alliance 372VF for tractors and harvesters and 354 and 363 for sprayers and row crop tractors. ■

Take the pressure off soil compaction issues The best way to establish optimum tyre pressure for any particular operation is to measure axle weights with equipment attached, says Mitas UK’s Kirk Walker.
The tyres you use and how they are set up can have a profound effect on the whole crop production cycle and its economics, says Mitas UK technical manager Kirk Walker. “The more we learn about soil structure, the more we’re starting to realise just how much it affects critical management factors such as weed control, nitrogen utilisation and crop yields. “Identifying how to minimise compaction and being able to correctly assess what future requirements will be with regard to machinery, cultivation trends and rotations is now a major discussion point for all in the industry. “Many of these problems are
being made worse by the need to carry ever larger equipment across the land and developing solutions to do this without causing damage to soil structure is an increasing challenge,” he says. The issue is compounded by the work rates expected when a window for a particular operation emerges, he believes. “This relates to both fieldwork and harvest with machinery often working in less than optimum conditions and against the clock to get the job done. “Effect of such practices on the soil is often disregarded, but over time its legacy builds up which is why there is such a concern about it now.” Understanding your tyres better can have a major effect on reducing the potential damage they can do to your soil, Mr Walker continues. “The single most important thing you can do to minimise soil compaction is to use the right pressure for the job. “To do that requires an
understanding of the relationship between inflation pressure and ground pressure. Inflation pressure is linearly related to ground pressure, so the harder your tyres the more damage you’ll inflict on your soils through compaction. “Furthermore, such compaction is not restricted to the top layers of soil. Studies have clearly shown it can extend up to 2m deep, so such harm is significant and long lasting,” he explains. Most fieldwork and cultivations
depends on achieving a balance between pressure and slippage, he points out. “The lower the inflation pressure, the more the weight of tractor and cultivation equipment will be spread across the ground. But, take it too far you’ll lose traction and risk damaging the sidewalls of the tyre through excessive flexing. “For standard radial tyres on a mid-horsepower tractor on the field without equipment, around 15–18psi on the front and 18–20psi on the rear is a good start. You can then fine-tune it to suit conditions and the job in hand.”
Axle weights
Lower inflation pressures allow VF tyres to tread more lightly on the land than conventional fitments.
A far more accurate way to assess the optimum pressure for the job is to measure axle weights with equipment hitched up to the tractor, ideally with the heaviest equipment and front weights you will be using, he adds. “With modern 4wd tractors, 60 per cent of the weight should be over the rear axle, 40 per cent over the front. “To achieve this, you’ll need to measure the weight carried by each wheel, then use the manufacturer’s recommendations to work back to

compaction a central inflation system is worth considering, or at the very least a tractor-mounted compressor.” If this is not practical, growers should consider fitting VF tyres, like the Mitas HC1000, HC2000 and HC3000 ranges which cover all the popular standard, row crop and harvester sizes, he advises. “They allow you to use optimum inflation pressure for fieldwork but are safe on the road because their sidewalls are designed to deform much more than conventional tyres without causing structural damage to the carcase. “This means that operating pressures can be significantly reduced, giving a much larger footprint in the field to minimise soil damage and improve traction, but without having to re-inflate for road work. “Finally, recognise when it’s time to change your tyres. If lugs are worn or rounded you won’t get the same grip, which automatically means higher slippage, soil damage, wasted fuel and lower outputs.” ■
the lowest safe working pressure. Adjust these to the speed of travel and weight being carried.” Operators’ reluctance to change tyre pressures between road and field use is one of the main reasons why compaction has become such an issue,” he believes. “Work out what pressure you need for the road to get to the field and then what the optimum value is once you get in the field. “The problem is that most operators do not have access to a compressor to re-inflate tyres for the journey back. “This is something you might need to address, but with significant crop production losses even from medium

Record beet crop in sight With two months to go until the end of this season’s sugar beet lifting campaign, a record crop looks on the cards, says British Sugar’s agriculture director Colm McKay, talking to Farmers Guide in late January. He said that sugar beet growers had seen excellent growth in their crops over the course of the season and, to date, the highest field yields had been recorded, averaging over 80t/ha. Mr Colm said that a number of growers were averaging over 100t/ ha and it was likely that the lifting campaign would extend to midMarch, although there were no firm factory finishing dates at this point. “The trend of increasing yields seems to keep rising,” commented Mr McKay who pointed out that, by comparison, other broad-acre crop yields were flat-lining. “It’s testament to the work the BBRO does in helping to deliver these yields; the varieties available, drilling dates and the agronomy. “Growers are doing the right thing,” he added. Mr McKay said that there had been a good uptake of three-year contracts by growers, which showed that the industry was feeling

confident about the future. “There is certainly a feeling that we can compete as an industry and, with export restrictions gone, abroad too,” he said. “The world market price for sugar is quite low at the moment which has a knock-on effect, but growers on the longer-term deals will hopefully see the market bonus mechanism kick in soon.” Mr McKay expected to see a similar area of crop planted this spring as that grown in the 2017 season, returning to what he described as “more normal levels”. ■

Recognition for technological updates Growers can achieve optimum planting accuracy with Monasem’s Electric Drive system with TCGEO feature.
A combination of two pieces of technology can help growers achieve optimum planting accuracy with sugar beet and other crops, according to Monosem. The company’s Electric Drive system enables operators to manage seed rates on-the-move and achieve even crop stands on
fields with variable soils, and beside tramlines and headlands. The TC-GEO feature included in the controls of the new electric drive planters, which is key to helping them achieve that, has received full AEF (Agricultural Industry Electronic Foundation) accreditation.
The TC-GEO system means users can modulate seed rates continually directly from the tractor cab in accordance with field maps. The features are already proving important to UK farmers says Steve Twist, managing director of Toucan Farm Machinery, Monosem’s UK importer. “More growers are looking to vary seed rates across the field to take account of factors like varying soil conditions, and to fully exploit the productive potential of each part of the field,” says Steve. “Early customers of the electric drive drills confirm that this system enables them to achieve that very accurately. It is a major boost to
optimising yield and is achieving exactly what they want.” Monosem also holds AEF certification for other elements of its electric drills, including the UT terminal, which is the interface that allows the user to control all planter functions; the TC-BAS the task control system, and the TC-SC row cut-off systems. The TC-BAS system records all the data relating to the work completed, which helps users with record keeping and traceability commitments, while TC-SC manages automatic row cut off as the drill reaches headlands or previously sown areas and avoids double-sowing and overlaps. ■

Power and precision with the Panther 2 The ROPA Panther 2 in action.
The new Panther 2 from ROPA has been demonstrated across the east of England this month in a range of challenging soil conditions. With a 768hp Volvo inline engine with pump-nozzle injection and 16.12 litre capacity in the new two
axle model the Panther 2 is, “a real workhorse,” says ROPA. A chassis system with roll stabilisation and automatic slope compensation has been integrated into the new machine design. The unloading conveyor derived from the
Tiger 6 with more powerful hopper emptying enables quicker loading during the drive. The new comfort cabin with glass touch terminal and numerous automatic programmes is more comfortable for the operator while giving the best lifting results. The robust, responsive power pack does not require AdBlue, SCR catalytic converter or exhaust gas recirculation. This reduces logistic requirements for equipment and minimises downtime. Powerful maximum torque of 3260Nm transmits power at optimal efficiency through the continuously variable transmission. The 238hp/175kW extra power compared to the Panther 2 allows faster workrates, particularly when lifting uphill, during chaser loading while moving, or with more than 6-row lifting with XL lifter attachments. The cleaning power has also been upgraded in the Panther 2. The RR lifting attachment has an additional seventh lifting roller included and therefore offers a cleaning area which
is over 15 per cent larger. Panther 2’s advanced stabilisation and turbo steer take ‘bendy’ headlands in their stride at the flick of a switch. Switching to turbo steer enables a faster response from the steering, not required when on straight rows. The new model has ROPA’s innovative chassis concept with two floating axles in conjunction with four stabilising cylinders reducing the sway of machine by 50 per cent compared with conventional two axle harvesters. The automatic slope compensation uses four hydraulic cylinders and sensors. The entire vehicle is inclined to the slope by up to seven per cent and therefore runs horizontal. ROPA offers all new owners of Panther and Tiger harvesters the ability to log into a GPS monitoring programme, accessing all lifting information and statistics from the machine. Operators can see data on exact locations and how well the machine has performed for the past three years. ■

Zero till sugar beet drilling
The Sfoggia Sigma 5 precision sugar beet drill has zero till capacities.
The AMIA stand at Lamma featured a Sfoggia Sigma 5 precision sugar beet drill by kind permission of Suffolk grower Stephen Taylor. The Sigma 5 has zero till capacities and fertiliser placement which helps to reduce the cost of sugar beet establishment. It is fitted with a wavy disc positioned ahead of each coulter with a star wheel either side of it. The star wheels are designed to push any trash away and clear a path for the seed coulter following, while the wavy disc cuts through any remaining trash. Two disc coulters then open up the furrow for seed to be metered and dropped in, while two press
wheels following at the rear firm and consolidate the soil around the seed. At the front of the drill, fertiliser discs and coulters deliver gravity fed fertiliser into the soil 5cm to one side of where the seed is planted. Sfoggia also manufactures transplanters, mechanical seed drills, precision vegetable planters and interrow weeders. AMIA is also the exclusive UK and Ireland distributor of Valentini machinery including stone buriers, power harrows, bed formers and rotary tillers and the ER-MO range of mounted, semi mounted, reversible, in- furrow and on-land ploughs. ■
Improve coulter performance and endurance Tungsten carbide can increase the life of sugar beet drill coulters by up to six times compared to those made with steel alone, according to JJ Metcalf and Son, which specialises in its application. The company uses a refined brazing technique to apply specially designed tungsten carbide tiles to a wide range of existing new or worn coulters.
“Not only does the tungsten carbide’s durability minimise down time, the hard-wearing edge enables the coulter to stay the same shape throughout its long working life,” said the company. “This ensures the part is providing excellent performance throughout its working life, and ensures a consistent crop across the entire field.”
The v-shaped track left by the sharp cutting edge of the tungsten carbide helps trap the seeds, stopping them rolling and preventing erratic spacing. This shaped hollow also provides good seed to soil contact, it added.
The use of tungsten carbide on sugar beet drill coulters can minimise downtime and ensure good performance.

Save cost and boost yields Growers can make significant savings on the cost of liming and macronutrients by back loading LimeX when delivering to British Sugar. LimeX70 is available from Bury, Newark and Wissington while Cantley can offer LimeX45 although both products should be available for order and collection in spring and summer if back loading is not an option. Lime applications remain at an all-time low, in both grassland and arable farming systems. Yet the consequential yield loss from suboptimal pH and low calcium can be

catastrophic, says British Sugar. Estimates show that 20 per cent of arable land and over 50 per cent of grassland is currently at or below pH 6 which can threaten yields on mineral soils. To maintain productivity, British Sugar recommends that growers plan their liming needs before acidity and/ or low available calcium compromises crop yield and quality potential. Sub-optimal pH will have a significant impact on the efficient utilisation of expensive annual N, P and K inputs that are fundamental to crop development. ■

Harrow choice ensures efficient sugar beet establishment Lincolnshire Field Products grows around 730ha of sugar beet across the county. Having previously used sprung tine seedbed cultivators the company changed to a Cousins Precision Seedbed Harrow in 2015. The previous cultivators often required two passes: the first tended to create clods and holes, while the second reduced the seedbed too much. However the Cousins harrow with straight tines was found to produce a good seedbed in a single pass. Headlands can take two passes when the plough press has not been engaged leaving bigger furrows. Following trials with a 6m PSBH, Cousins then fitted a 420mm cage roll with close spaced bars followed by
410mm Crosskill type rings at the rear. At the front, two rows of straight leading tines offer individual depth adjustment for penetration within tractor wheelings. These are followed by the full width, hydraulic springboard levelling system which can be adjusted from the cab to suit variable soil conditions and avoid build up of silt on lighter land. Next a 450mm diameter tyre roller crushes and firms any clods while providing depth control to the forward area of the harrow, comprising a 4-bar harrow section with straight spring tines which further reduces and levels the seedbed. The PSBH works 6–9ha/hour according to soil type, typically a mix

of light and medium silt. The harrow is also available with prism rings which have proven effective on light
soils and for breaking clods on the heavy land. It suits all soil types and can handle wet and dry conditions. ■
Seed technology to ensure future beet yields Global company Germains Seed Technology has sites across Europe, UK and America. Its site at Kings Lynn in Norfolk specialises in priming, pelleting and filmcoating sugar beet seed for UK growers. Tom Clarke is a fourth generation sugar beet grower and managing
director of TWH Clarke & Son. He uses Germain seed Beta Vulgaris on the farm at Prickwillow near Ely: “The primed and pelleted seed from Germains is really a silver bullet solution for the protection and quick establishment of the crop. The seed is usually up within a week of drilling
and never looks back.” This year Germain will be launching its new product Xbeet enrich to the UK market. Alongside the new product launch, it will also be trialling potential future treatments with UK growers. This will enable the company to gain feedback from
growers on the performance of new seed treatments over a vast number of different conditions. The company says that by continuing to work in partnership with growers it hopes to maximise the potential of UK sugar beet yield for future generations of growers.

gravity, despite its large tyres and generous ground clearance, which Lemken says offers excellent stability, even with a full tank. “This was achieved by having the aluminium booms folding vertically at the rear of the machine and the frame being integrated with the tank,” a spokesperson explained. “The tank is designed without internal pipes to ensure that it can be easily and thoroughly cleaned.” The Vega drawbar is available in a top-mounted and bottommounted version. A hydraulic drawbar suspension and drawbar steering are available as options for truetrack following. A pneumatic axle suspension is also available for safe handling both on the field and on roads. The inductor and operating centre of the trailed sprayer are integrated into the left side of the plastic tank; the inductor height can be continuously adjusted. The electrically switched valves can be operated from the terminal near the inductor or via the MegaSpray menu on Lemken’s in-cab CCI-200 and the new CCI-1200 terminal. As the valves are directly integrated with the pipe system and not dependent on the position of the inductor, the residual amounts remaining in the fluid system are minimal. The suction filters are also positioned to ensure that they can run dry in order to minimise residue. The true circulation pipe, which is routed inside the aluminium booms and continuously circulates the spray fluid, prevents inactive pipe sections and allows the set spray pressure to be available instantly as soon as the nozzles are switched on. The system also provides transverse distribution across the full boom width. True individual nozzle control has been incorporated via the Eltec Pro system, which permits each nozzle to be switched with precision and no delay when combined with the GPScontrolled SectionControl part width control system. ■
The electrically switched valves can be operated easily via the MegaSpray menu on the in-cab CCI-200 and the new CCI1200 terminal.

Spring Spraying
Trailed and tractor-mounted sprayer additons Hermes, Berthoud’s new mounted sprayer with EcoMatic.
Sprayer manufacturer Berthoud has unveiled two new ranges of sprayer – the high-specification trailed Vantage and the tractor-mounted Hermes. The Vantage features Actiflex II axle suspension, Dualmatic systems operation valve and its motorised version Dualelec, as well as the Berthoud boom range. It offers customers a ‘made-to-measure’ spraying solution adapted to their farm and their crops, says the
manufacturer. Standard EC Tronic controls provide simple accurate operation. Alternatively Isobus technology is available either with the Berthoud VT Tronic touch screen or Isotronic directly on the virtual screen of the tractor. The hand-held remote joystick E Pilot is available on all systems. The Vantage has a low centre of gravity and dynamic tank design. The compact proportions mean
good handling and stability both on the road and in the field while also limiting residual volumes. Other features include the Omega pump and the simple to use Berlogic panel. The Vantage range of trailed sprayers comprises five models of 2,800, 3,500, 4,300 and 5,500 and 6,700 litres that can be fitted with three boom types ranging from 24–44m. Meanwhile the Hermes features a modern and compact design, reducing overall length by up to 30cm from models it replaces. Its close coupling optimised weight and centre of gravity, improve weight distribution on the tractor, thereby ensuring better balance. Another feature is EcoMatic operation. The main innovation lies in the assembly of function valves fitted directly to the body of the Gama spray pump (101 or 130 options) and its unique control
mechanism. The single control offers simple and economic functions for the operator. EcoMatic also allows the operator to follow a simple, pre-defined sequential rinse procedure. The new Hermes is available with a choice of three tank sizes: 800, 1,000 and 1,200 litres and a new range of ALSR rear-folding booms of 15, 16 or 18m. Suspension on Axiale central pivot system gives the boom excellent stability and good performance on slopes, turns and headlands. Robust and compact due to its L-shaped structure, it complies with the regulatory road width of 2.55m. ■

Spraying and establishment contracting business Matt Redman Agriculture is a contracting and farming business that operates across Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and the surrounding counties, specialising in crop protection and establishment – also undertaking cultivations, hedge cutting, combining and whole farm contracting. Spraying is carried out using a Bateman RB35 self-propelled and a John Deere 840i trailed sprayer with the ability to spray or apply liquid fertiliser at 24, 30, 32 or 36m. A purpose built mixer bowser can also be used to further increase efficiency where required. Three options are available for crop establishment, depending on conditions, crop type and general drilling requirements. A 6m John Deere 750a disc drill that is capable of drilling direct into stubble, standing cover crops or
cultivated ground with very low disturbance, an Amazone ADP-Super 3m power harrow combination drill with disc coulters and a 3m, 5-leg, low disturbance subsoiler fitted with a Stocks Seeder unit for OSR establishment. A full range of cultivation services are offered from ploughing or noninversion tillage, using a Gregoire Besson Discordon, to low disturbance subsoiling or shallow discing. Hedge cutting is undertaken with two McConnel variable forward reach hedgecutters with 7.2 and 8m reach and a choice of flail head sizes or sawblade. Flail mowing is carried out using a heavy-duty front/rear flail or a heavy duty offset, front mounted machine. Whole farm contracting services can be tailored to requirements to reflect individual farm and businesses needs. ■
The John Deere 750a disc drill provides an excellent low disturbance drilling option in direct or cultivated situations, ideal for helping to reduce black-grass emergence in crop and limiting moisture loss from the seedbed.

Sprayer packed with advanced level of technology Vicon’s iXdrive self-propelled sprayer is packed with an advanced level of technology, says the company. Its forward control, highcomfort Vista cab and a spray pack combine to offer tank sizes of 4,000, 5,000 and 6,000 litres, and boom sizes from 24–30m (aluminium) and 24–40m (steel). All boom options are variable geometry, allowing left- and righthand sides to be raised and lowered independently, with contour following managed by Boom Guide Active Roll. Whether full or empty, the iXdrive will be hard to beat for weight distribution – fully loaded, its weight distribution is 50:50, changing to 51:49 when empty. This translates into a very smooth ride and provides a more stable platform on which its booms are mounted. And this rewards the operator

with better boom stability and complements the sprayer’s active suspension. Spray technology also includes auto boom height control, GPS auto switching for up to 15 boom sections, and nozzle switching with pneumatic valves. Spray lines are supplied from both ends, to maintain constant pressure across the boom width, creating a true prime and purge system. Power comes from a 240hp Perkins engine that meets the latest EU Stage IV emissions regulations. It drives the wheels through a twin-range Sauer hydrostatic transmission that generates positive traction control from using two pumps that supply the wheel motors in sequence.
This has the effect of driving the axles individually, and means one wheel on each axle will always be powered. Internal cleaning is managed by the iXclean Pro system – a onebutton, fully automatic, high-speed,
high efficiency washing programme that leaves the inside of the sprayer so clean that residual concentration levels are less than 1 per cent. It also uses the minimum amount of clean water too, reducing its impact on the environment.

Automated system increases drying and labour capacity Getting ahead and being prepared for the next 10 years was the goal for farmer Stuart Whitehouse last year when he extended his grain stores and installed a 20t Magna Automatic batch dryer – its larger size and automatic loading and unloading would save the need to employ extra labour, and ensure drying kept pace with harvesting. At Gayhill Farm on the southern outskirts of Birmingham, Stuart farms in partnership with his parents. They grow 260ha of combinable crops – feed wheat, feed barley, plus beans and milling oats for the food industry. However, last year, with no blackgrass-clean ground, oilseed rape was grown instead of the oats. Other enterprises include hay and haylage, a small Texel flock and a suckler herd for which 70 calves are bought in each year, multi-suckled and then finished. Although close to Birmingham the farm is on high ground – mostly 700ft above sea level. Stuart explains: “This means we are late to start harvesting. So it’s not unusual to finish the second week of September. Last year though, it was the 7th of
October before we had finished. “My father drives the combine, and we have a part-time man for grain carting, but I’m doing everything else, including looking after the cattle! Six years ago we were growing 140ha of arable crops but now we are up to 260ha; my parents are heading towards retirement and so we needed a more automated grain drying system that could keep up with the harvest and not need so much of my time.”
New batch dryer In 2011, a 12t gas-fired GT Dryer had been purchased, and was powered from the PTO of an old International tractor. Stuart explains: “The GT dryer was bulletproof, nothing ever went wrong with it. I think we had one bearing go in seven years. It took 3–3.5hrs to dry each load, and I used to fill it from one grain trailer and then download it into another one. So it could dry 60t/day but only if I was up early and finished late.” Last year, recognising the need to automate the process, Stuart obtained quotes from several continued over...

grain dryer suppliers. In the end he opted for a diesel-fired 20t Magna Automatic batch dryer, through JJ Farm Services in Cheltenham. As from 2017, the dryers in Opico’s Magna range are galvanised or fitted with stainless steel components in corrosion-susceptible areas. The whole upper bin and plenum are made of stainless steel or galvanised steel. The bottom well, loading hopper and intake auger tube have also been completely galvanised. “We’ve always had good service from JJs. The quote was £2,000 dearer but it’s not all about the price. The Magna is faster filling and faster emptying, and there was a zero per cent finance deal as well. “And we got a good trade-in price for the GT Dryer too – after seven years of use, it had only depreciated by £7,500,” he adds.
No grain bin The method by which grain was loaded into the dryer also needed a re-think. Stuart chose not to install a grain bin, he explains: “We got some quotes and it was going to cost around £5,000 for the size of bin we

would need – one which would take two 20t loads. We would of course also need a spare telehandler and an operator to load it. And it would take up space that could only ever double up as a fertiliser store. Then there was the height of the bin to consider, and of course the height of the building.” So instead, the existing grain shed was extended with two more bays, of which the inner one was divided with a wall across the middle. On the far side of the wall, the ground was dug out to create a floor 1m lower, onto which the Magna was sited. Dried grain could then be discharged either into the new end bay or into the old bay. On the yard-side of the wall, Stuart made a large grill to fit into a hole in the floor over the dryer’s intake tray. This allows wet grain to simply be dumped straight from the trailer onto the floor, and it then falls down through the grill. Stuart adds: “I fabricated some deflectors under the grill to funnel the grain into the intake tray. Now all I have to do is just keep tipping and pushing the grain over the grill. “The Magna loads and unloads automatically. It has a text messaging
system which tells me when the drying cycle is finished or if it’s run out of grain to load, or if there’s a problem, say, if filling is taking more than 45 minutes. “So the set-up worked well with up to 20 per cent moisture in the grains. But towards the end of the harvest, moisture levels reached 25 per cent and I did have some problems as the dryer was trying to fill quicker than it could dry. The RCD kept tripping the central auger. So with advice from JJ Services, I overcame this by restricting the intake when the grains are really wet.”
Bushel weight bonus Drying grain through a batch dryer can increase bushel weights; chaff, weed seeds and broken grains are removed in the process and the drying action also cleans and polishes the grains.
“2012 was a bad year for bushel weights but I made an extra £14/t for the grain just by putting it back through the GT dryer again and getting an extra 2–3kg/hl.” In the new set-up, Stuart has added a SkyVac cleaner for the first time to extract dust and chaff and further clean grain samples for better bushel weights: “Over the season I reckon we carted away two and half loads of chaff in our 6t trailer! “I wanted a system that would be good for at least the next 10 years – a bigger dryer to cope with perhaps larger acreages, and automation to save on labour. It’s working well. I can dry 100t of grain comfortably in one day, and there is scope to dry up to 160t on a longer day,” explains Stuart. “It took the dryer 200hrs to dry 1,000t and, with the automation, I won’t be needing to employ extra labour to man the dryer once I take over the combining.” ■

Debut show appearance proves worthwhile New upgraded terminal box covers proved popular at Gibbons Agricultural Fans' stand at the Lamma show last month. The company also had crop conditioning fans and Airspear fans on display as well as a team of experts on hand to answer questions. The terminal box covers – now made of steel rather than plastic - offer greater protection from knocks during movement and storage on farms. Rated at 0.13-2.2kW, Gibbons’ steel and aluminium fans are available as single phase or three phase in most sizes. Gibbons can deliver large and small orders
LEDs reduce electric usage LED lighting specialist Lojer is extending its range with the introduction of the new IP66 sealed model LJRHPA4. This model offers over 18,000 Lumens and is designed to replace 400 watt metal halide luminaires and other conventional high bay (over 5m) lights. The LJRHPA4 uses 150 watts due to its efficiency (no heat or UV) and light effectiveness – all of its light output is beamed downward to where it is needed. Due to this efficiency Lojer LED Luminaires do not require external cooling fins, which can get clogged with dust particles and cause some lights to fail prematurely. Lojer Luminaires body and diffusers are made of tough polycarbonate, which ensures these are corrosion and fire resistant and are light (6kg) and easy to install. This material meets health and safety requirements for food contamination prevention as it does not contain glass. Lojer offers a five year minimum guarantee and over 50,000hr life expectancy on the product which requires no maintenance. Full technical support and a free lighting plan is available to calculate the minimum number of luminaires required to meet your lighting needs. Lojer Luminaires are dimmable and other options include motion sensors. ■

Head says: “BDC has been actively encouraging the development of a belt conveyor for a long time. This new machine has been on the drawing board for a number of years and we are delighted that Skandia has now added this to its range. It certainly looks a simple, robust and very well-engineered conveyor.”
BDC Systems has represented Skandia in the UK for many years and offers unrivalled product knowledge and technical support on both Skandia equipment and the extensive range of other grain drying, cleaning, storage and ventilation equipment it also supplies to the UK market. ■
Preparing for 2018 harvest and beyond Having completed its 20th harvest in 2017 Bennett & Co is now planning its 2018 with a number of projects already underway including on-floor stores, continuous flow dryers, additions and repairs to existing grain stores. One project - a 5,000t grain store – is already nearing completion. The project includes a 60tph Perry continuous flow drier with 120tph conveying equipment. The Perry drier is from its Savannah series and incorporates invertor driven fans, light grain recovery system and PLC panel with touch screen control and the facility to monitor and control the dryer remotely. The project has a 350t
wet grain bunker with trench intake conveyors feeding aspirator cleaners. Dry grain is loaded into the two storage areas by belt conveyor. With the current political uncertainty Bennett and Co says it’s encouraged by the level of interest as farm businesses seek to get into shape for whatever the future holds.

Potential savings with upgraded dryers Perry of Oakley believes it has delivered significant improvements in its grain dryers with the Savanah series.
udrey & Son L a V t

JH
The potential to save power and crop lift off is made possible with the ‘significant improvements’ which Perry of Oakley has made to its grain dryers. The fans in the Savannah series of dryers are controlled by an inverter so savings can be made by running fans at reduced speed. The crop set up page automatically selects the initial fan speed best suited to the crop, says Perry. The overall dryer width has been reduced by 500mm in the Savannah series while it still has
Perry’s own advanced PLC panel and the auto control, which uses both the exhaust air temperature and hot grain temperature to give advanced control of the dryer with feedback, to maintain a consistent moisture content of the discharged grain. To ensure dryer longevity they are built with a 2mm thick grain column, and 3mm thick top ducts to help prevent deformation and wear. To promote consistent movement of grain down the grain column, even in very wet conditions, all Savannah Series dryers are fitted with Perry’s pneumatically controlled shutter discharge. These improvements, and the other key features of the Savannah range, provide a truly commercial specification grain dryer for use on farms and commercial grain stores. Perry of Oakley Ltd also manufactures a full range of 10–1000tph handling equipment including chain and flight conveyors, belt and bucket elevators, augers and screw conveyors, aspirator precleaners and belt conveyors. ■
Crown has launched a range of seed treaters and processing lines.
Export success for Suffolk-made grain equipment Exporting its grain processing machinery has been a key goal for Suffolk-based Crown Gravity Separators. “The Crown GS18 gravity separator has a huge processing capacity in relation to its physical footprint and Crown has seen demand for it rise both here and abroad,” says director Alan Stollery. The smaller GS12 separator is popular for seed processing in the UK. The 8–12tph model starts at £30,000 and has also proven itself adept in the recycling of plastics and rubber, running 24/7 in
industrial settings here in the UK. The company has also launched a range of seed treaters, elevators, conveyors and complete processing lines for customers. “We started making our own machinery because we couldn’t find the high quality equipment we demanded for our requirements as a mobile seed processor, and it has grown from there. “Ultimately, we are proud to think our machinery helps to decrease customer overheads via a combination of reliability and high performance – and all made at our HQ in Suffolk.”

Grain handling innovation Essex-based S&G Wooldridge has been producing grain handling equipment for more than 25 years. Its range includes grain buckets, pushers and throwers as well as augers and fork-lift mounted access platforms for cleaning grain stores. Grain pushers are its most popular product and its range offers features including angled and rounded curves which shed the grain rather than dribble it, also a heavy duty rubber strip which keeps the grain floor clean of grain and avoids grinding it to flour. A new ventilated grain floor has recently been introduced. This can be used in existing or new build concrete floors and can be installed using
off-season farm labour. It consists of underfloor ribbed plastic ducting which is concreted in plus special molds, in-floor vents and vent support frames. For existing concrete floors a professional 600mm self-powered diamond floorcutter can be hired to cut out the channels. The number and spacing of the vents is determined by the required airflow. Ducts are ventilated from a central tunnel or from outside fans. The underfloor ducts are easily cleaned due to the smooth bore plastic pipes used, which also reduce airflow resistance compared to the equivalent size in concrete formed ducts using pneumatic rubber tubing.

has also been produced and can be made in almost any width. S&G Wooldridge also offers
fabrication, repairs, and precision machining of one-off and bespoke systems from its site at Ardleigh. â–

can also offer collection of grain with its own haulage fleet. The most helpful financial benefit is that there is no joining fee. RANDStore is a futures registered store, members can store and market feed wheat at a valuable premium over ex-farm prices. A new 22,000t store was completed in 2016, bringing the total capacity up to over 150,000t. “We have attracted members from all areas of East Anglia who have been coming back to us year on
year” says Grainstore manager, Tom Clarkson. “This is mainly due to the
adaptable storage solutions available to them.” ■

Intelligent dryer system proves a worthwhile investment
CONTINUOUS FLOW GRAIN DRYERS For over 20 years, Kentra has been at the forefront of crop drying technology. Our dryers are easy to operate, rugged, reliable and energy efficient. • Wide range of standard machines with capacities up to 100 tonnes per hour • Constructed from heavy duty fully galvanised steel for both indoor and outdoor installation
Shropshire grower Rob Timmis.
An automated dryer control system that added value and eased the harvest workload is proving a worthwhile investment by Shropshire grower Rob Timmis. The Dryer Master management system adjusts his 35t/hr Kentra continuous flow dryer according to the fluctuating moisture content of incoming grain throughout the day. “However experienced you are with a dryer, it’s a difficult thing to manage, especially when there’s so much else going on at harvest,” he says. “There’s always a temptation to keep fiddling, so hitting the optimum is really quite hard. “And there’s always the inclination to err on the side of caution because there’s nothing worse than having to put grain through again when it’s half or one per cent over the contract terms.” The Dryer Master controller installed in time for harvest 2017 uses sophisticated temperaturecompensating sensors to accurately measure crop moisture content before and after drying. ‘Intelligent’ algorithm software automatically responds to any changes to incoming moisture levels or deviation from the set point target to regulate the time taken for grain to flow through the dryer. Barry Higginbottom of Kentra Grain Systems explains: “The aim is to consistently hit an average
grain moisture target to avoid lost income through over-drying, and the risk of merchant deductions or additional drying costs resulting from under-drying.” The system learns the performance characteristics of a particular dryer during manual operation, before it is given control. “Having seen how consistently it can hit the target moisture I’m confident enough to leave it in control when running the dryer overnight,” says Rob Timmis. “Besides, I can always keep an eye on things by remote access on my iPad.” The remote feature also gives him freedom to attend to issues away from the store during the day because the same key information is shown on the tablet computer as on the Dryer Master display. The master display is either built into an existing dryer control cabinet or is available as a selfcontained add-on for Kentra and other makes of dryer already in service. Selected settings can be adjusted remotely and the dryer can be stopped remotely too. “The Dryer Master enables me to consistently hit moisture targets, removes some element of anxiety at harvest and is getting better value out of our grain handling and storage system as a whole,” he adds. ■

Grain pumps and stirrers ease handling and drying Speeding up and simplifying grain handling is becoming more important with the capacity of modern combine harvesters. To meet this challenge Danagri-3S has sold several large silo systems combined with the American Hutchinson grain pump system which uses just one motor to fill silos, move grain between silos or out-load silos. It can also be used to fill and empty floor stores as well. At the heart of the system is a heavy duty chain and paddle which fills the tube to about 70 per cent full and moves grain en-masse. Four sizes
of tube system are available ranging from the 200mm which will move up to 100tph, to 400mm diameter which is capable of moving up to 400tph. The closed loop design offers the versatility to create a complete load in/load out system that also provides recirculation possibilities which allows higher and lower moisture grains to be blended to assist drying. Combined with the latest silo stirrer machines which give fast and simple in-bin drying, these systems allow for a speedy turnaround of trailers and reduce the amount of manpower needed back at the farm
at harvest time. Danagri-3S also offers a complete range of towers, catwalks and conveyor supports to compliment the systems. ■ The heavy duty chain and paddle system is at the heart of the Danagri-3S grain pump system.
The complete drying package New Mecmar gas and diesel mobile dryers with capacities from 7-55t are now on offer from Morgan Farm Machinery. Popular models include the 20, 24 and 35t electric automatic dryers, which, when used in conjunction with a grain loading hopper, will load, dry, cool and empty automatically. The whole

Grain storage in the bag Storing grain in AgBags is popular in many European countries but they have so far been overlooked by UK growers. Yet with the addition of new grain bag unloaders, storing grain this way couldn’t be simpler in AgBags, says AB Systems. For large tonnages the low cost price of the grain baggers and unloaders means that AgBags are an inexpensive grain storage option, says the company. Alternatively for smaller tonnages it can provide a contracting service to bag grain for around £5/t. The grain bagger is a one person operation and can bag around 5t/min. Grain can be bagged directly in the field, eliminating time spent waiting for trailers. This keeps the combines running, helping producers speed up harvest and minimise downtime. The new grain bag unloader makes unloading the bags as simple as filling them. One operator can unload around 5t/min. Operation is clean and tidy with plastic being rolled up on the machine and the grain is augured out of the bags and into transportation.
Once grain bags have been sealed, the oxygen level is reduced, and the concentration of carbon dioxide is increased. This environment virtually eliminates fungal diseases and insects without the use of chemicals. The air-tight environment also slows the natural metabolic process that leads to increased temperatures in grain, helping to maximise storage life. It has been proved that wheat can be stored in silage bags for up to six months without loss of quality. Grain can easily be segregated into different bags according to seed variety, moisture, protein content and so on. Organic, nonconventional and speciality crops can also be kept in separate bags to avoid contamination by other varieties.
Confidence in your grain storage and handling kit As we begin the New Year we are seeing the countryside, after a good autumn drilling season, looking very good, comments Mark Weatherhead, whose grain handling, storage and drying business is based in Cambridgeshire. “This has prompted several new enquiries on top of existing ones, driven in part by a degree in confidence with prices gradually moving up from the disastrous 2015/2016 harvest prices of £95–99/t,” he says. “The interest for this coming year is predominantly floor stores, either with or without drying facilities and stirrers. As these stores get bigger, driven year-on-year by the concrete side

panels getting higher, it is critical that the construction of the foundations and floor are properly designed, using correct damp proofing and proper reinforcing correctly positioned, tying in the building and floor as one unit. “And, lastly, good drainage around the outside of the building capable of dealing with intense rainfall we seem to be getting lately,” he says. “For those of you who have older stores with dryers, elevators and conveyors, we specialise in replacements for equipment that has reached the end of its life,” adds Mr Weatherhead, while wishing farmers a good growing season and harvest ■ 2018 ahead.

New high output telehandler The JCB 541-70 AGRI-Pro telehandler.
The performance of JCB’s 6t capacity Loadall 560-80 telescopic handler can now be exploited with the added finesse of hydrostatic drive while still packing a punch on bulk grain store handling and out-loading operations, says the manufacturer. With the new AGRI Pro version of the high capacity handler, the machine gets the unique DualTech VT transmission, which is proven in other high performance Loadall telescopic handlers to give operators new levels of control, driving ease
and productivity. JCB has now introduced six Loadall AGRI Pro telescopic handlers with DualTech VT drive as the 536-60, 531-70, 536-70, 541-70 and high-lifting 535-95 preceded the latest addition. The all-new JCB DualTech VT transmission provides ‘best of both worlds’ driving and control characteristics using hydrostatic and powershift elements that work seamlessly and automatically – a fast and precise response at slow speeds combined with power-efficient direct drive at higher speeds, adds the company. The characteristics are especially well suited to the Loadall 56080 in its role on large farms and commercial bulk stores as a high productivity machine for stockpiling, re-handling and out-loading. This
flagship of the Loadall range lifts 6,000kg and can handle a 5m3 grain bucket from the extensive JCB AGRI attachments range. A heavy-duty implement carriage and Z-bar linkage converts hydraulic power into high break-out force with an “excellent” dump angle for rapid load discharge, and 8m of lift height for filling high-sided bins or bulk transport vehicles. JCB’s Smart Hydraulics regeneration technology brings the boom down rapidly but under full control, resulting in the fastest possible repeat loading cycles, high productivity and reducing running costs.
Engine power A 145hp JCB EcoMAX engine – with no DPF needed for emissions control – and a 140-litres/min hydraulics package ensure there is no shortage of power for any Loadall AGRI Pro handler, and with the multi operating modes and adjustable settings of the DualTech VT transmission, operators can choose the perfect set-up for every situation, points out JCB.
The hydrostatic element operates up to 19kph, providing predictable control and driving characteristics and minimal use of the brakes. Beyond 19kph, the transmission seamlessly switches to powershift with auto shifting direct drive (there is no torque converter) for efficient roading and towing right up to the machine’s top speed of 40kph. Flexi mode enables engine and ground speed to be set individually; so for loading and re-handling, a constant speed will keep the hydraulics at peak performance with greater fuel economy, while the operator concentrates on steering and boom manipulation. Using the foot pedal delivers rapid acceleration and fine speed control whether speeding up or slowing down, with generous pushing power. When feeding out of silage, grains and concentrates or using a JCB AGRI sweeper-bucket, the operator can dial-in a set ground speed for consistency and easy control. Equally, a limit can be set on the maximum powershift gear available when gathering bales in the field. ■

Fast crop sensing with Bluetooth upgrade
Users of Minitemp Blue will be able to open an app on their smartphone and view crop readings instantly.
Martin Lishman has launched an instant crop temperature sensor as an upgrade to its popular Minitemp temperature monitor. Previously requiring cables running over the grain surface to connect to probes in the grain, or the labour-intensive process of walking the grain heap and pushing in a probe to take readings, Minitemp Blue uses Bluetooth technology to make the job simpler and a lot less time consuming. “The Minitemp hand-held monitor has been a great servant for many years,” says Martin Lishman managing director Dr Gavin Lishman, “and it will continue to suit applications that require a fast-response portable probe to take readings, but taking time and labour cost out of crop temperature monitoring is the key to improving crop storage efficiency. Minitemp Blue is a significant upgrade that will make it much quicker to take readings in small to medium size stores.” When they enter the store, users of Minitemp Blue will be able to open an app on their smartphone and view crop readings instantly. Mounted on 2 or 3m static temperature probes inserted into the grain, the Bluetooth unit will transmit readings over 20–30m depending on the configuration of the grain surface. It may be necessary to gain line of sight to more distant sensors, but the days of walking extensively over the grain surface will be avoided.
Having instant readings will enable store managers to make quick decisions on when and where to use crop ventilation fans. Used in conjunction with a Martin Lishman automatic fan controller, this can contribute to greater storage efficiency and significant energy cost savings, says the company. As well as taking instant measurements, Minitemp Blue will also make it possible to store and download to a PC up to six months’ worth of temperature readings at a time. This will certainly help those who are required to submit regular data records to conform to quality assurance schemes. In addition, for 2018, Martin Lishman is introducing a new range of high output Pile-Dry Fans, a high strength addition with increased airflow to their Pile-Dry Pedestal range and further advances in its Barn Owl Wireless automatic fan control system. The new Martin Lishman ‘green’ range of high performance crop ventilation fans is equipped with the latest energy efficient IE3 motors and improvements in design which have increased air output performance to maximise the energy used. By supplying the highest airflows at the highest pressures available in the market, these changes will ensure that target temperatures are reached more quickly when conditions are suitable for cooling, and help to reduce energy costs.
New seeder offers optimal OSR establishment The new He-Va Evolution rape seeder was launched on the Opico stand at Lamma iand offers a system to ensure the best possible establishment and early growth of the crop, says the company. Originally shown at Lamma 2017 as a prototype 3m machine, fine-tuning, expert input and product development have resulted in the Evolution drill which is now available in mounted 3m, and trailed 4 and 5m versions. With flea beetle, black-grass and slugs making conditions very challenging to establish a strong and viable rape plant, the new drill will provide a fully-loaded machine which can achieve precision drilling and seed placement, soil and nutrient management and pest control in one pass. The seedbed is prepared by the low disturbance, medium-depth sub-soiling legs and points which alleviate compaction and improve soil structure, with minimal surface disturbance. This encourages good rooting with resulting early, vigorous spring growth. A V-profile roller then re-consolidates, creating a microtilth ready for seed placement. A front disc works ahead of each leg, slicing through the soil surface to ensure minimal soil disturbance. This prevents black-grass seed being brought to the surface. The well-established He-Va AccuDisc double-disc coulter enables seed placement to be controlled precisely and consistently to a required depth, ensuring no seed is visible on the surface, providing ideal conditions for germination. The rear wheel then closes and re-

consolidates ensuring good seed to soil contact, says Opico. Slug pellets can be accurately applied in the same pass as the rape seed is drilled, using He-Va’s twin multi-seeder operated by a single control box, preventing slug damage in the early stages of growth. An optional Nitro-Band or NitroJet can also be added to put on granular or liquid fertiliser exactly where and when the young plant needs it, giving an initial growth boost pushing the rape seedlings ahead of any pest damage. “Establishing oilseed rape has been difficult again this season with flea beetle hammering crops at cotyledon stage,” said Opico managing director, James Woolway. “This, combined with black-grass and slug pressures, is making it very challenging to get a currently profitable crop out of the ground. The new Evolution seeder throws all our best technology at the plant getting it off to a good, strong start and able to withstand any pest pressures.” The 3m machine starts at £34,952. ■

Repair damaged swards as early as possible Last year’s wet summer and autumn has left its mark on swards, leaving many grass fields in need of restoration this spring, according to Lincoln-based Oliver Seeds general manager, Rod Bonshor (right). “Having animals and traffic running on soggy, soft fields is never good and, as we come to the end of winter, affected fields are now looking poor,” he said.
“If farmers do nothing, they will suffer from lower yields and quality for grazing and conservation. With some farmers already running out of silage to feed this winter, something has to be done to bolster grass yields.” Damaged, open leys give plants like grass weeds, moss and broad-leaved weeds the chance to take hold. Low lime levels

and soil nutrient levels add to a sward’s demise. “Tired leys really need invigorating and renovating,” says Mr Bonshor. “Weed grasses may turn green when fertilised, but they are poor utilisers of nitrogen and very low in feed quality.” He urges farmers with problem fields to tackle them as soon as travelling conditions allow. This may be by scarifying or aeration. In cases where compaction is evident deeper soil treatment may be needed to restore a healthy soil structure essential for good root development and growth. Grass fields that have large bare patches of soil showing need overseeding with large seeded, aggressive species that will germinate and grow away quickly. “We have a dedicated overseeding mixture called Typhoon, which has vigorous varieties that are ideal for either surface or slot seeding,” explains Mr Bonshor. “It contains hybrid and tetraploid ryegrasses and also a high proportion of Lofa festulolium, which works well in stressful

situations. “Measuring and correcting any soil nutrient deficiencies now will also help to get things right at relatively low cost, while ensuring enough forage is grown for the coming year and next winter.” ■
New distributor for eastern counties Major Equipment has appointed Thurlow Nunn Standen (TNS) as the new distributor for its agricultural and grounds maintenance machines in Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. TNS will be responsible for sales, spare parts and service of the full line of Major products including grass toppers, amenity roller mowers, slurry tankers and slurry application systems.

Sheep handling system offers an easier way of working The Combi Clamp sheep handling system in action.
David and Emmie Cowie run 1,200– 1,600 ewes between the two of them on their farm in Scotland. With the oilfields off Aberdeen, local labour can be hard to find and additional help
can be costly. “We knew something was going to have to change,” Emmie explained, “this realisation has crept up on us slowly, as we have got older, each year we said next year we need

to sort this!” Last year, the Cowies took a long hard look at how they manage sheep through their pens. “This is where the main problems lie,” David said, adding, that he has a “niggly” back while Emmie has issues with her knees. “As all shepherds and farmers know, a day’s work in the sheep pens is hard physical labour and, for us, it can take a couple of days of recovery before we are back to our normal ways.” Considering all the options, the couple looked at a conveyer type race which practically “sucked the ewes up”, moving them along and holding them in place for dosing etc. “It looked to be the Rolls-Royce of sheep handling, but it also had the price tag to match,” they commented. With so many moving parts and motors, there was a concern over maintenance. They also believed the race needed to be undercover and this would require additional capital investment and therefore was removed from the list fairly quickly. While browsing on social media, Emmie spotted positive feedback on the Combi Clamp manufactured by Ritchie Agricultural. She made further enquiries by getting in contact with shepherds and other farmers that were using the Combi Clamp, and it soon became clear that it warranted further investigation. “Nobody had a negative point, it was a simple design with no electrics or motors,” she said. “Working on a simple pivot system, there was not much at all to go wrong.” The Cowies made contact with their local dealer – AM Philips – to enquire as to the availability and, most importantly, the price. Not being put off they then arranged a demo. Bob Ritchie duly arrived with Kevin from
BFR-180 CROSSFIRE
MANUFACTURING EXCELLENCE SINCE 1962
AM Philips and a Combi Clamp. Chatting through the system with Emmie and David, Bob advised and assisted in positioning the unit. Running a few sheep through for worming, and the odd foot which needed attention, Bob and Kevin stayed to make sure they were happy and then left them to it. Both Emmie and David felt it was a completely different way of working with the sheep, highlighting that the Combi Clamp brings the sheep up to their level and in front of them, so there isn’t the constant “bending and riving about trying to get them where you want them”. Emmie stated that with mules and Easy Cares, she was concerned as to how the Combi Clamp would handle the wool shedding sheep. But the adjustable width settings allowing different size sheep at differing stages of wool growth to be held comfortably soon became apparent. “There is some degree of flex in one side allowing all sizes of sheep to be secure without being over tight,” confirmed Emmie. Having tried the Combi Clamp in different locations around their permanent pens, it proved not to be a difficult decision to keep it. With no regrets in purchasing the Combi Clamp, Emmie and David said how they wished they’d got one sooner, “before backs and knees got into a sorry state”. But when you’re young and healthy with your whole working life ahead of you, you don’t think about the damage you’re doing to yourselves,” David added. “As it is, we’ve extended our working lives considerably, of that there is no doubt. We’ve also got more time for family life and other things, even the days following a long day in the pens,” with Emmie adding that the Combi Clamp has definitely made it easier for the two of them. ■

Old season lamb trade sets off with a bang Richard Frankland (right) of Frankland Farms, with his champion pen of Beltex.
Prices were sharp at Skipton Auction Mart in January at the old season lamb show and sale. The New Year saw prices remain in line with the previous sale held over
the holiday period, with best end lambs doing a sharp trade all day. Top price of 330p/kg or £129 was reached by WA, VJ & JA Towler, of Grindleton, for a pen of five 39kg Beltex, purchased by Hamlets Butchers in Garstang. In the monthly show, the champion pen of five lambs came from Frankland Farms, of Rathmell. Weighing 47kg, they sold for £120 each to show judge Mick Etherington, of Eldwick, on behalf of Kitson & Sons Butchers, which has three shops in Northallerton, Stockton-on-Tees and
Hutton Rudby. Messrs EP & JM Hutchinson, from Faceby, presented the reserve champion pen and they sold for the second highest price on the day, of £128 each, purchased by Skipton regulars Countrystyle Meats, of Lancaster. Third in the Continental class was JS Eddleston, of Great Harwood, who sold a pen for £98 each to Vivers Scot Lamb. In the Mule class, JH & J Ryder, of Haverah Park was first and JK Wilson, of Blubberhouses, second, both selling to Paul Watson, of Hellifield, for £82 and £89 a head respectively. Mr Watson also picked up the first prize
pen in the Horned class, from J&G Huck, of Hubberholme, for £83.50, while JK Wilson was again second, selling for £65 to Yorkshire Halal. Commercial lambs found a ready market all day, with heavies particularly good to sell, the 46–52kg weight bracket averaging 189p and the 36–45kg bracket levelling at 196p. The overall selling average for a total of 3,228 lambs was 192.8p/kg, which comprised 844 Mule, Masham and Horned lambs and 2,384 Lowland bred lambs. Cull Ewes averaged £67.38, with JR Crabtree, of Low Snowden, reaching top price for Texels with £113.50, while cast rams averaged £61.53. ■
Tanker is mighty but manoeuvrable The new 6,000g tanker from Abbey Machinery promises comfortable towing on the road and in the field. The tanker has a tri-axle bogey system and front and rear steering which provide optimum manoeuvrability and minimal tear on the ground. The cylinder is supported internally for additional strength and
baffled to reduce slurry movement internally while in transit. The parabolic weight sensing draw bar makes towing a machine of this magnitude easier, says Abbey. “We are very excited about this new large-scale tanker. It opens up new doors for the company around the world,” says sales marketing and business development manager
Michael O’Grady. “There are so many features of this product including the tri-axle, with front and rear self-steering makes it a dream to move around the yard. Plus it has been designed so that it can be containerised to improve its shipment capabilities.” The new 6,000g tanker from Abbey Machinery.

The Smyth Suffolk drill Seed for grain crops was broadcast by hand until 1731 when the first horse-drawn seed drills made by Jethro Tull came into use and some grain crops were sown in rows. Instead of needing a lot of hand labour to kill weeds it was now possible to do this job with a horse hoe. James Cooke made a similar drill with Suffolk-type coulters in 1782 and James Smyth made his first Smyth cup feed drills at Peasenhall in Suffolk, in the early 1800s. The horse-drawn Smyth drill was attached to a wheeled fore carriage and pulled by two or three horses. The drill was steered by the horseman who walked alongside the drill and, a second man, walking behind the drill kept an eye on the feed mechanisms and put the coulters in and out of work at the headland. The Smyth catalogue for 1913 listed 5 models of ‘SemiNonpareil’ corn drills ranging from a 12-row model for £34 15s. to a 16-row drill priced at £39.
This Smyth ‘NonPareil’ 14-row corn drill cost about £200 when delivered to a Suffolk farm in the late 1950s, is set up for drilling 5-rows of field beans using 2 seed discs and twin seed tubes at 20in row spacings. The drill was last used in 1972.
The seed hopper, with an adjusting handle to keep it horizontal, consisted of an upper grain box and the lower part contained a wheeldriven reversible seed barrel with a seeding disc for each row. Small cups around the edge of the discs picked up seed and carried it to an outlet where it fell from the cups into telescopic tubes connected to the Suffolk coulters. The drill was supplied with two seed barrels
with two cup sizes on each barrel making the Smyth drill suitable for all types of seed from clover to field beans. When tractor-drawn drills appeared on the scene, a worker was still needed to walk behind the drill until someone thought of
providing a riding platform. It was all change in 1962 when the hopper was turned round enabling the tractor driver to watch the feed mechanism. The Peasenhall factory closed in 1967 and production continued for a short while at Johnson’s Engineering at March.
Farmers Guide 25 Years Ago In February 1993 Farmers Guide readers were warned that cereal yield losses of up to 50 per cent for the coming harvest could become a reality unless they took effective action against an expected cleaver infestation. The previous stop-start harvest, followed by a wet autumn, had curtailed herbicide application in many areas and as a result it could provide ideal conditions for cleavers to germinate freely. Big changes at farm colleges from 1st April would see them taken from County Council control and become independent companies with much of their funding coming from central government. Also the tried and trusted
City & Guilds examination system would shortly be replaced by National Vocational Qualifications, or NVQs. On the farm machinery pages Renault launched the 180-94TZ, its first tractor with powershift transmission. Other new features included automatic engagement of the differential and front axle drive. Bomford Turner announced a new 5ft verge mower for farmers who had verge mowing contracts with local authorities. Cleanacres Machinery reported success with its new Atlas self-propelled sprayer which had an electronic anti-slip traction system and boom widths of up to 24m. Sanderson announced its first articulated

while others used a static or portable batch dryer. On other pages it was reported that the Essex and Suffolk, and the Mid Anglia machinery rings had merged and within two years the new partnership hoped to achieve a turnover of £500,000. Farmers in the Midlands were urged to take extra care over the security of their fertilisers which terrorists could use to make explosives. The area of straw burned after the 1992 harvest fell by 23 per cent compared with the previous year and since the intention to ban straw burning in 1993 was announced there had already been a 60 per cent reduction in the area of straw burned. ■

telehandler with a 106hp engine and a 2.5t lift capacity and Bomford introduced a new high capacity front-end loader for 85hp plus tractors with a 1.5t lift capacity and a 3.5m lift height. The February 1993 Farmers Guide included a brief history of grain dryers and listed some of the models on the market at the time. One of the earliest types had a large grain drying tray and a perforated floor, and a coal- or oil-fired furnace was used to blow heated air through batches of grain. Continuous flow vertical tower dryers followed a few years later. Wet grain was elevated into the top of the dryer where heated air reduced the moisture content before cold air was blown through the lower part of the tower to cool the grain. Ventilated floor grain dryers were next in line and, in 1966, Jeremy Coleclough imported the first batch of portable batch dryers from the USA. By the early 1990s many farmers had a low temperature floor drying installation
