Out & About with the Farmers Guide editors
New beet on the block
Hot off the press (as Farmers Guide literally went to press!), was the announcement of the BBRO/ BSPB 2020 Sugar Beet Recommended List. Seven new varieties have been added; Advena KWS and Smart Janninka KWS from KWS UK, BTS 4100 from Limagrain UK, Vixen, Cougar, Puffin and Lightning from SESVanderHave UK. These not only reflect the continued improvement in yield and other key characteristics, such as early-sown bolting, in varieties being put forward by breeders, but this list sees the introduction of the first ALS herbicide tolerant sugar beet variety, says BBRO. “2018 was a difficult growing season for the commercial crop and trials alike; adverse weather delayed drilling, this was followed by a prolonged drought, and a late burst of nitrogen when the drought finally broke in the autumn,” commented RL Board chairman Mike May. “Despite this, the control varieties in the trials still managed to achieve a mean yield of 112 adjusted t/ha with new varieties offering up to a 4 per cent yield increase above that, highlighting the resilience of the crop in such conditions. “In addition it is good to see the first ALS herbicide tolerant variety (Smart Janninka KWS) on the list. The herbicides for use with this variety, as an integral part of the Smart Conviso system, have now been approved, and should be available for the 2020 sowings.” Suffolk sugar beet grower Bill Baker who farms at Elmswell, near Bury St Edmunds said that he drilled his beet acreage between the 25th–30th March and establishment has been reasonably good, however there is still some emergence to come. “We drilled it all into moisture and rolled some of the later drilled fields for moisture conservation which has helped. “I’ve just walked the crops it’s not a perfect season by any means – at worst 80,000 plants/ha established – but we certainly need some rain for
4
the last few to emerge,” he adds. As this is the first season of growing beet without neonicotinoid seed treatment, Bill says he has newly available insecticide Teppeki (flonicamid) in the shed for the control of virus yellows-infecting aphids if spray thresholds are met. “One of the reasons I didn’t drill too early was to ensure the crop got up and away as soon as possible, to reach a safe stage in terms of virus yellows infection, but time will tell if it was the right decision.”
Emergency use At the time of writing, BBRO also confirmed that the emergency authorisation, granted by HSE, for the use of up to two applications of Biscaya (thiacloprid), has now come into force. This is in addition to the one application of Teppeki already available for use on the UK crop. The emergency approval for Biscaya has been gained for the control of green wingless aphids, in particular, the peach-potato aphid (myzus persicae), to limit and control the transmission of virus yellows. The use of Biscaya is effective from 18th April and this approval is in place for 120 days from this date. Application(s) should be made via a ground boom sprayer in a minimum of 200-litres/ha with a maximum individual dose of 0.4-litres/ha. *More on the latest varieties on the 2020 Recommended List will appear in the June edition of Farmers Guide.
And finally… An old couple were lying in bed one night. The husband was falling asleep but the wife was in a romantic mood and wanted to talk. She said: “You used to hold my hand when we were courting.” Wearily he reached across, held her hand and tried to get back to sleep. A few moments later she said: “Then you used
to kiss me.” Mildly irritated, he reached across, gave her a peck on the cheek and settled down to sleep. Thirty seconds later she said: “Then you used to bite my neck.” Angrily, he threw back the bed covers and got out of bed. “Where are you going?” she asked. “To get my teeth!” This month’s joke was kindly sent in by Patrick Hitchcock, Brockford near Stowmarket, Suffolk. Do you have a joke to share? A Farmers Guide boot bag will be sent to anyone who gets one published in the magazine. Please send it to: dominic@farmersguide. co.uk.
With many farms aiming to reduce soil movement during planting, Kuhn’s new Aurock drill attracted a lot of attention at Beds dealer Collings Bros annual open day. The Aurock was displayed in public for the first time having been purchased by a local farmer after successful trials of a prototype version on the heavy land farm. It’s designed for zero-tillage crop establishment but can also be configured for use in other cultivation regimes including full inversion tillage, making it ideal for those making a gradual change to minimal disturbance as soil conditions allow. For a full open day report including interviews with attendees see next month’s edition.

Grain & Fertiliser
Gossip
by Graham Henderson Many readers will no doubt have watched the programmes on TV of David Attenborough on climate change. The demonstrations taking place in London recently, and by children around the world, are starting to bring home the realities of this impending disaster for future generations. It is too easy not to get involved but there is no doubt what is going on at both poles, the loss of rain forests by man creating land for agricultural use (palm oil in particular) and the extremes of weather continuing year on year now around the world, are telling us that we cannot ignore this problem. Anyone owning land can at least plant a tree to make a contribution towards carbon removal and we can all reduce our vehicle use or go on planes less often.

Harvest wheat is indicated at around £135/t with £140/t for November. Barley around £15/t below this in both positions. With no agreements between the US and China on trade, it is difficult to get bullish about grain prices at all especially with somewhat positive crop yields.
Fertiliser Fragments
Every little will help us prevent world temperature going up 1.5 or 2.0ºC. In the UK increased temperatures will allow farmers to grow crops such as grapes, peaches, apricots and olives which will also reduce our import needs. We must also create better control and use of water and stop pumping fresh water into the sea as occurs throughout the country. It is a broad and complex subject that is going to become more important each year. Be warned, it is going to affect you! Currently (April 23rd) there is a desperate need by most crops for rain and there seems little on the horizon. After the Easter weekend we’ve just had the problem is going to get worse and I have no doubt we shall see some cereals being irrigated before you get to read this in early May.
There is little activity at the moment with urea or ammonium nitrate and prices have remained unchanged. No traders are buying stock because of likely risk of not selling with new season prices not far away. Most arable growers will have their stock requirements and likely buyers remaining will be for grassland requirements. Opportunity arises to make comment about the value of organic fertilisers and in particular fresh farmyard manure. The primary nutrient value is for potash, particularly from fresh cattle manure, which can contain just below 10kg/t of available nutrients opposed to the phosphate available being around 2kg/t. Most other manures are significantly below this level especially pig manures both in fresh and slurry form. It is always better to get any manure analysed rather than guessing its value. More detailed information can be obtained from AHDB nutrient manual RB209 or from the Potash Development website (www.pda.org.uk).
Grain Gossip
Rugby Ramblings
Apart from the on-going need for moisture, crops are still looking in good order and this applies across Europe. The expectancy is for good harvest yields which are depressing prices forward and this is reflecting on the spot market. There is virtually no spot market for wheat or barley but I’m guessing definitely below £160/t.
The semi-final game between Saracens and Munster was excellent to watch and it was the best that I have seen Saracens play this season. The win by 32 to 16 was well deserved and Billy Vunipola earned the man of the match. Defending champions Leinster beat Toulouse by 18 points (30–12) and there is no doubt that
Graham Henderson predicts that some cereal crops will be irrigated by the time this magazine lands on the doormat.
the final match on 11th May will be a great battle and one not to be missed. I predict a Saracens victory. It looks like Warren Gatland will manage the British & Irish Lions tour of South Africa next year and it appears he will have strong support from Gregor Townsend as attack coach and Andy Farrell as defence coach. I have no doubt there will be strong competition to get into the squad and the autumn World Cup in Japan should be an indication of the most likely candidates.

And finally... by Jane Potts
I write this column with a mixture of sadness, excitement and hope. Sadness and excitement can be lumped together. Sadness because this is my last column as I’m retiring from the business. Excitement – a different emotion brought about by the same event – retiring will give me time for the things I’ve been unable to do while focused on running a successful business. Just over a year ago retirement was not part of my immediate plan but sometimes fate throws you a curve ball. Let me expand; early last year I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Although the lump was small it was fast growing. The next few weeks and months were a rollercoaster that I was trapped on. Lumpectomy surgery was followed by six rounds of chemotherapy, then five weeks of radiotherapy. Surgery, for me, was the easy part but the chemo took some getting through. I’ve never been so afraid as it’s like jumping into the abyss. No one can predict how it will affect you, until it does. Every three weeks, my white blood cells were obliterated by the poison that was going to reduce the risk of the cancer returning. I should say here that the cancer hadn’t spread to my lymph nodes and the chemo provided a relatively small (4–5 per cent) chance of preventing its recurrence but I deemed it
worthwhile. For a few days before and after chemo I felt relatively well, probably helped by the steroids that are part of the treatment. Then it all goes downhill and some days I hardly moved from the sofa. I had no energy, no protection from infection and no desire to do very much. But, as the saying goes, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and about five weeks after my last chemo I started radiotherapy. For me, radiotherapy was relatively easy. I was stronger, both physically and emotionally and it was so much less toxic than the chemo.
Hope Where does hope come in I hear you ask. When you finish treatment, the John Le Vey cancer support centre at Ipswich Hospital offers a 6-week ‘Hope course’ aimed at providing help and support to get you back into the world. There I met eight friends with who, over the course of a few hours a week I forged unbreakable bonds as we fought to regain what we had lost through the cancer diagnosis and treatment. We laughed, cried, ranted, raged, sympathised and empathised together as we forged strong bonds which continue to hold us together and offer support for the future. I now understand why it’s called the Hope course. Diagnosis is shocking, treatment is brutal and when
you finally emerge from it you’ve forgotten what it’s like to have control of your life and to be confident and assuming of the future. You have to find hope that there is a future – and there is – and then make the most of it. Inevitably the business had moved on during the few weeks I had been away and it was difficult to find my place again. Perhaps fate had also determined this as well. I believe that what is meant for you won’t pass you by so, following some intense discussions, I decided it was time to retire. While I’ve been clearing my office I’ve been reminded of the opportunities that wouldn’t have come my way if I had not been involved with Farmers Guide. Those of you who read my column earlier in the year will know that my father Doug Potts started the magazine in 1979, along with my mother Florence. In his later years Dad often said that that is was, “quite remarkable” how the magazine had grown and developed from the original concept of serving East Anglian farmers, to the successful national publication you see today. We’ve seen a lot of developments along the way, the biggest of which has to be the internet and all that’s come with it. Although I wasn’t directly employed by Farmers Guide for the
first few months, many odd jobs came my way including sticking address labels on to manila envelopes and sorting them into towns ready to be filled with Farmers Guide magazines. I spent many hours on the floor surrounded by piles of envelopes.
Career My first job was in reception, answering the phone and deciphering and retyping editorial copy sent in by contributors. Much of it was hand written and it was quite a skill to understand it. At the beginning, the magazine was assembled by a reprographic house but as I was a competent touch typist, Dad purchased a typesetting machine which enabled us to embrace the new technology of creating sharp, clean advertisements and editorial that wasn’t held together with Letroset tape. This machine – it was an Omnitech 2100 – was anything but user friendly. A series of commands determined size and positioning of text and pictures and you didn’t see what you were getting until it was developed. I remember the bitter disappointment of waiting for the masterpiece I’d been working on to appear at the end of the developer, only to discover that the amazing ad, complete with border, were still amazing, the ad just wasn’t inside the border. Although my on/off relationship with the typesetter would continue for some years, my next move was to advertising sales where I spent a couple of years, before my editorial role began and I worked alongside Dad, learning and preparing to take over the role when he retired. Although I had no formal agricultural or journalist training I learned from Dad, and anyone else who crossed my path. I thoroughly enjoyed the years I spent covering shows, open days, demonstrations and press events. It There aren’t many pictures of me as I was usually taking them. This one, however, taken in 1999 at the retirement of the very well respected Massey Ferguson press officer John Briscoe, includes me (second right kneeling), our current editor Dom Kilburn (far right crouching), Dad (behind Dom and me) and Mike Williams who writes our Power on the Land column and is our machinery editor David’s father (second from right, standing).

was a privilege to have been made welcome at so many events and I have visited places, both in the UK and overseas, that I would not otherwise have seen.
Memories I must share one particular memory. It was a 3-day trip to Lisbon in Portugal to visit a factory that made rolls. The UK importer asked me to join a group of farmer customers they were taking so the event was fairly social. The usual factory tour and product demonstrations were interspersed with a couple of farm visits and, on the final day, a sightseeing tour of Lisbon. We were wined and dined and on the final evening, following dinner, several of the group headed off to a
nightclub. A handful of us decided to visit a local bar before heading back to the hotel. I still don’t know how I got caught out – whether my guard was down because of the wine with the meal or my inexperience of Portuguese measures but I didn’t notice that my two Bacardi and Cokes weren’t measured and were probably nearer to six or seven. Back at the hotel, the others headed to the hotel bar but I went to my room to prepare for the next day. Here the story transfers to my loved ones back home who tell the story of me telephoning to say goodnight in a very jovial mood and requesting an early morning alarm call. The morning call didn’t find me quite so jolly and much merriment was had at my expense, but I learned my lesson. The wonderful Lisbon trip was ruined for me because I felt so awful. Thankfully the flight home was mid-afternoon so I had recovered by then and I think I hid my discomfort from my fellow guests who, to be fair, were probably feeling worse than me. My role has changed further over the past decade when David The “stroppy” Omnitech 2100 typesetting machine actually looks quite innocuous. It used 12in floppy discs and stopped working if the temperature in the room was too high. It would announce its disapproval on the screen!
Taken in the top floor office at Orford Street, Ipswich, this was my telephone sales period. Note the golf-ball typewriter, card index system and Smithfield catalogue on my desk.
Williams joined as machinery editor and then Dom Kilburn as production and arable editor, and I have been more involved with the running of the business.
The future My sister Julie will continue at the helm of the business supported by her son Greg and my daughter Donna, so it remains a family-run
enterprise. So, all that’s left is to thank colleagues, advertisers and readers for your support and friendship. It’s been a wonderful 40 years and I look forward to what the next chapter holds. I would also like to thank Mom and Dad without whose foresight, energy and determination this journey would not have been possible. ■

Potatoes
Get the basics for blight, right get forgotten about and, as well as potentially spreading blight during the season, they can host PCN populations which could affect a potato crop in a later rotation.”
Prevention key
With main crop planting well underway, Dominic Kilburn has a brief catch up with an East Anglian specialist potato adviser on his thoughts for the coming season, in particular on keeping blight out of crops. Norfolk-based Andy Alexander (right) has spent much of the early season checking over seed stocks which are now going in the ground in key potato planting areas of East Anglia. Without wanting to state the obvious, he says that quality of seed is key and this season, due to the effects of a dry 2018, there are some challenges. “Because of low seed production across Europe in 2018 I am seeing a greater variation in seed size compared with a more normal year as I check stocks pre-planting,” he explains. “This will mean growers may need to get out of the habit of using the seed rate that they are
used to. The size of the seed determines the volume of planting and they will need to consider whether rates need to be upped (for larger seed) or reduced if they are smaller, if yield and quality are not to suffer. In addition, and again due to the dry conditions last year, he says that the incidence of dry rot in seed stock is greater this year because of increased mechanical damage at harvest. “That said, as things stand in the
middle of April, we are experiencing a dry planting season this year which is fortunate,” adds Andy.
Good housekeeping While the threat of recently found, aggressive blight strain 37_A2 is the talk of the industry when it comes to protecting crops from blight, growers can help themselves significantly by getting the basics right from the off, suggests Andy. “Good housekeeping with volunteers is essential; volunteers in other crops need to be controlled and those in outcast dumps need to be desiccated,” he says. “Volunteers in game cover crops must be dealt with too – often they
Although he admits that he’s been repeating the same mantra for years, Andy continues to remind growers that prevention of blight is critical, rather than trying to cure it once it has got established in crops. “And that means robust programmes from the start, and keeping the spray intervals to 7-days,” he states. There’s a range of chemistry available to keep blight out at different stages of the crop, but if growers keep to robust programmes and intervals, they shouldn’t have too many difficulties in keeping their crops clean. “But start to stretch spray intervals from 7 to 10 days and there will be problems,” he stresses. And with evidence that the 37_A2 blight strain has a reduced sensitivity to long established blight active fluazinam, Andy says that while achieving control of it is still not yet fully understood, it is even more important to have a preventative approach to blight this season with strict spray intervals. “I will still use fluazinam for spore control early in the programme and also later to prevent spore infecting the tubers, but only in a mix with multisite products. The strains of blight it does control are still out there and so it still has a role to play but less so where the 37_A2 strain is known to be. “We don’t, as yet, understand enough about 37_A2. Last year was so dry in East Anglia that we didn’t see it continued over...

at all but I saw how aggressive it can be in crops in the West of the country in 2017, breaking down stressed varieties. However, I also witnessed longer spray intervals than I would have been comfortable with over there – some as long as 12–14 days and I don’t think that will have helped the situation. “There’s a big difference in the approach to intervals with growers in the West compared with the East,” he adds.
New product Also much talked about this season is new blight product Zorvec Enicade (oxathiapiprolin) which Andy says he has seen in trials over the past
8–9 years. “It’s a good product from a new class of chemistry and I’ve been impressed with its performance against foliar blight in terms of its length of protection, which is beyond that of other products, but I still need to see more evidence of its performance against tuber blight. “At the moment I haven’t determined exactly where it is going to fit in the programme but it will be mid-season, when pressure on the crop is at its highest, and probably in a mix with Curzate, which contains mancozeb. “Its label recommends a 10-day spray interval, but it’s taken me a long time to persuade growers to stick to 7-days and so I will stick to this in order to keep the protection going.

Prevention is better than cure Stick to 7-day spray intervals with robust products Watch the weather – if it’s becoming unsettled bring the spray window down to 5-days. Clear volunteers from crops, outgrade piles and game cover Ensure foliage is dry before spraying Choose the right nozzles; twin-jet forward/backward facing nozzles will help protect as many leaves as possible Keep spraying speeds down (10–12kph) Don’t risk the substantial investment already made in planting a crop of potatoes by seeking out slightly cheaper, less effective blight products
“I used it in trials work across different varieties and different canopies last year – and it showed that spray windows could be stretched, but 2018 was a low pressure year.
“As yet we don’t really know if it’s a better product on 37_A2 than other products and, depending on the season ahead, we should have a better idea come the autumn,” he concludes.
Plan for heightened potato blight threat With the bulk of the UK’s maincrop potatoes expected to be planted during the past month, growers are being urged to plan robust programmes to counter the heightened risk of late blight. Corteva Agriscience, the agriculture division of Dow DuPont, says last year’s hot, dry conditions reduced the disease threat in 2018 but could have consequences this season. The crop protection and seed company says 2018’s smaller tubers and mild winter means growers need to consider strengthening programmes. Corteva’s field technical manager, Craig Chisholm (above), said blight spray plans should focus on getting crops off to the best possible start. “With few rain events from May onwards last year conditions
affected tuber size, particularly in unirrigated fields. This will mean many small tubers returned to the soil to create the potential for a large volunteer population in the arable rotation. “The impact will be an increase in the untreated reservoir source. Some volunteers may well come through carrying infection on the stems, providing a ready-made source of late blight.” Compounding the problem, tight seed supplies might require some growers to consider using home-saved seed which may contribute to an increased risk. Craig also fears the mild winter weather will not have had a significant effect on discard piles, meaning the potential is there for early and sustained blight pressure in 2019. “If all these factors combine late blight has the potential to be greater and more aggressive than ever this season,” he added. Corteva launched Zorvec Enicade

(oxathiapiprolin) last year. According to the company it has unique activity on late blight and, being the first product from a new class of chemistry, has no cross resistance to other active ingredients. Alongside its proven preventative, persistent and upwardly systemic properties, it is one of the only blight fungicides available to UK growers with curative activity on existential blight. “When used with an appropriate
partner product it will provide control of any late blight from seed or outside sources, including stem blight when applied early in the programme,” Craig said. “Growers have the option of using Zorvec at 10-day spray intervals instead of the industry standard 7. “We recommend getting two sprays during the rapid growth phase of the crop to ensure the cleanest possible start to the season, holding one or two treatments in reserve for the stable canopy phase.” ■
in a suspension concentrate (SC) Emerger is authorised for one preemergence application at a maximum individual dose of 1.75-litres/ha. Building on European experiences, Bayer sees Emerger as a flexible product that can be used effectively in combination with other potato herbicides. Mr Hagues says the mix of 2kg/ha Artist (flufenacet + metribuzin)
with 1.75-litres/ha Emerger will be a robust programme for pre-emergence weed control. Vegetable growers will also benefit from the introduction of Emerger, adds Bayer. An Extension of Authorisation for Minor Use (EAMU) has been granted in carrots and parsnips that brings a vital substitute for the loss of linuron. ■
New potato herbicide Bayer has introduced new herbicide Emerger (aclonifen) for use on potato crops this year. The company’s campaign manager for root crops Edward Hagues says potato herbicide programmes are changing following the loss of linuron and Emerger will help to replace it. “Emerger is a consistent performer
against a wide range of weeds and will become a key herbicide for the potato crop. In trials it has shown high levels of activity against nettles, polygonums, brassica weeds (charlock, runch, volunteer OSR and shepherd’s purse), chenopodium weeds (fat hen and orache) and made a good contribution on grass weeds.” Containing 600g/litre aclonifen

Oilseed rape
Managing OSR crop resilience, whatever the weather
ADAS analysed Defra oilseed rape yield statistics with the objective to investigate which weather factors are associated with high or low oilseed rape yields.
A BASF-organised oilseed rape briefing focused on the influence of weather on the crop’s yields since 1979, highlighting how some weather patterns significantly benefit yield, and also how growers might mitigate against the negative effects of adverse conditions. Dominic Kilburn writes. While a gap remains between yields achieved in Recommended List trials and average on-farm yields, encouragingly there has been a steady rise in oilseed rape yields during the past 15 years, predominantly through improved canopy management and overall agronomy. However, researchers have
highlighted that there are noticeable fluctuations in oilseed rape yields on account of seasonal weather effects – some in recent years causing as much as a 1t/ha reduction in average yield. According to ADAS crop scientist Christina Clarke (right), speaking at a BASF-organised
www.stocks-ag.co.uk
briefing earlier in the spring, there have been obvious fluctuations in yields when extreme weather patterns occurred, such as between 2011–2013, but it
posed the question as to whether crops could be managed better to ensure resilience to cope with seasonal effects. To explore this further, a new ADAS study commissioned by BASF has identified key weather patterns which account for 37 per cent of the variation in oilseed rape yields, and suggested reasons for this. To complete the work, ADAS analysed Defra oilseed rape yield statistics between 1979–2017, in correlation with Met Office data, with the objective to investigate which weather factors are associated with high or low oilseed rape yields. “We wanted to look at the effects of the weather on the crop at a particular growth stage and to see what difference this had on final yield, as well as propose crop management approaches for maximising yield when weather conditions are not conducive for high yield,” she explained. continued over...

High yielding factors According to Dr Clarke, in summarising the weather factors that are associated with high OSR yield, she said that high temperatures in October, a dry December, a sunny and dry April and a wet, cool and dull May accounted for as much as 37 per cent of yield variation against the long term national yield trend. “A warm October with an increased temperature of 2ºC is associated with a yield increase of 0.17t/ha. “The higher temperature produces increased autumn growth resulting in vigorous, strong plants entering winter which are less affected by harsh winter conditions. With good biomass and better rooting, the crop can get off quickly in the spring,” explained Dr Clarke. In order to mitigate the effects of a cold October therefore, Dr Clarke said that autumn plant vigour must be maximised by timing sowing to benefit from sufficient available soil moisture. Producing a good tilth in the seedbed and ensuring good seed-to-soil contact is also key, she pointed out. “Varieties with high early vigour should also be considered,” she added.
Dry December According to Dr Clarke, a dry December (with reduced average rainfall of 50mm) is associated with a yield increase of 0.11t/ha because of the avoidance of waterlogging over winter, which can inhibit and slow root growth. However, in order to manage crops when a wet December occurs, growers should ensure that their field drainage systems are in good working order, and minimise soil compaction. In addition, the same factors highlighted previously for a ‘cold October’ in terms of crop establishment, will help mitigate the effects of a wet December.
April sun The study highlighted that a dry and
Oilseed rape sunny April with reduced rainfall of 50mm was associated with a yield increase of 0.2t/ha, likely due to drier conditions helping to avoid an overlarge canopy and sunny weather increasing pod and seed set in early crops. “It’s so important for light to get down through the crop canopy as its interception is crucial from mid flowering onwards for seed set and fill,” she advised. She also suggested that dry and sunny weather in April could possibly lower the risk of sclerotinia. To mitigate the effects of a wet April, growers should try to increase light penetration by preventing over-large canopies – targeting a GAI of 4–4.5 at the time of flowering – by delaying nitrogen fertiliser applications and use of a PGR when GAI is exceeded. Careful timing of fungicides to minimise sclerotinia is also important.

Fully Loaded Hybrids
Wet and cool May The study found that a wet, cool and dull May, with an average increased rainfall of 15mm, 1ºC cooler and reduced sun hours by 15 per cent was associated with an increase in yield of 0.12t/ha. “It’s probable that cooler conditions delay the onset of crop development during the important growth stage and therefore allowing a longer duration for the crop to set more pods and seeds,” Dr Clarke pointed out. “Wetter conditions also provide greater water supply for seed filling during summer,” she added. In the case of a hot and dry May, she suggested that growers should maximise photosynthesis and canopy duration using fungicides and late foliar N to delay senescence. “Mid-flowing (late april/early May) is key for promoting seed number through light interception, and then seed size later. The more the period is lengthened then the more time there is to fill,” she said. PGRs can stimulate lower branching to increase the numbers of pods and seeds, Dr Clarke concluded. ■

Growing oilseed rape successfully is not a straightforward business these days, and, as Heather Briggs discovers, growers need to keep an open mind on a number of factors when it comes to variety selection for the 2019-planting season. Oilseed rape variety choice should be based on oil content, ability to withstand pests and disease, stand up to weather and disease pressure, as well as having important characteristics such as stiff straw, according to Agrii seed technical manager David Leaper (right). Cabbage stem flea beetle (CSFB) remains a major challenge for many oilseed rape growers, he notes. Geographically the pest had a much wider impact last autumn, and may even force the decision to take a ‘holiday’ from growing rape this autumn, he says. In other cases, the gut reaction of many growers is to drill early so the crop is already growing away when CSFB arrives, but then the beetle lays the eggs and the plants become infested with larvae. Historical advice from Rothamsted Research was to drill after the CSFB migration has taken place but, as this generally happens from the end of August and can continue throughout September, it is impractical because establishment conditions often rapidly deteriorate during September. Mr Leaper says: “The situation is far from straight forward and a
number of techniques have been used to reduce the impact of the pest. These include companion cropping, the use of sacrifice areas, drilling into longer stubble and the use of varieties. All have some effect, but cannot be relied upon on their own.”
Fast development Work with Bayer on heavily infested crops in the Cambridgeshire area (Trumpington) looked to see if varieties with a fast speed of development in the autumn and early spring can grow away from the larvae. “We found DK Expedient to produce a big strong plant with good roots and growing points in the rosette. Additionally its fast growth habit helped it cope better with the larvae than many others.” Hybrids are becoming increasingly popular in UK because they show ‘heterosis’ or hybrid vigour often seen in the spring, even though there may not be big differences in yield. But, he cautions, hybrids cannot all be treated in the same way. “You need to look at all the varieties in trials and assess their growth habit; generally we tend to prefer those that develop the fastest, such as DK Exalte, InV1035 and DK Expedient.” In terms of Clearfield varieties,

Oilseed rape
Companion cropping has been used as a technique to reduce the impact of cabbage stem flea beetle.
Mr Leaper again prefers those with fast autumn and spring development such as DK Impresario and DK Imperial. This is not only important for CSFB but also helps early competition against volunteers and problem weeds. Resistance to turnip yellows virus (TuYV) is also of increasing importance, believes Mr Leaper. “For many years we have applied foliar insecticides and the neonicotinoids to achieve reasonable control of the aphids which are vectors of the virus, but since the withdrawal of the latter, Limagrain has been leading the way in introducing resistant varieties.” Although the virus is endemic across the entire UK oilseed rape acreage, it is difficult to spot as symptoms are often absent or very subtle and its impact is therefore often ignored. Agrii has worked with Limagrain portfolio manager, Vasilis Gegas, to identify virus levels in the plant through tissue testing. Mr Leaper says: “The disease is measured by the percentage of plants infected in a crop. In 2017 we discovered high incidence across the UK, whereas in 2018 the infection was more moderate. We believe that 2019 may be another high year as the infection is closely related to aphid levels in the autumn which were widespread with the mild weather. While most international breeders focus on hybrids, he notes that 50 per cent of the UK acreage is still in conventional varieties. Aspire is an important variety as it is the only conventional RL variety with the TuYV resistance trait and it is one of the reasons why it is the highest yielding variety on the list.
Clearfield Clearfield varieties have recently taken a significant share of the market (20 per cent), driven initially
by growers with problem weeds such as charlock and runch. “The other key driver has been erucic acid contamination of crops which can result in rejection by the crusher. An AHDB study found that legacy volunteers from many years ago may be the source of this contamination. Clearfield is clearly one simple way to remove these volunteers from the growing crop. Interestingly, he adds, the problem was only seen in the UK and there has been no erucic acid problem where Clearfield varieties were grown. “However, removing contamination is one thing but not re-introducing it is another important consideration. Certified seed is already being screened for this, but growers using farm saved seed are strongly advised to get their seed tested. Breeders have also been selecting for other genetic traits such as pod shatter resistance. Introduced initially by Dekalb more than a decade ago it has recently become mainstream with BASF, Limagrain and DSV offering it in their latest hybrids too. Club root is still a significant disease in some areas exacerbated by acid soil conditions, localised flooding, and short rape rotations particularly where crops like stubble turnips or other brassica are grown. “The are some interesting new varieties to help alleviate this problem, Alasco also from Limagrain, Crome from LSPB and Crocodile from DSV. It is important to note that they tolerate the disease and may still show some symptoms.” Mr Leaper also draws attention to a part of the market that pays a premium for oil quality over the commodity ‘OO’ type and points out that High Oleic (HOLL) varieties still attract a minimum premium of £20/t

The importance of vigour Plant vigour plays a key role in getting oilseed rape established, says RAGT technical sales manager Dr Cathy Hooper (right). However, choosing a variety with vigour can be difficult, as there are currently no vigour ratings on the Recommended List. “When autumn weather is kind, it makes it much easier for oilseed rape to get up and away,” says Dr Hooper. “It is during difficult seasons that we really see the need for vigour.” This uncertainty has led to RAGT entering into an innovative agreement with BIPO Ltd (Breeders’ Intellectual Property Office), which will see the breeder’s new OSR genetic material such as RGT Nizza CL, RGT Quizz and RGT Azurite entered through the wellestablished Royalty Area Collection scheme. This means that growers who are forced to rip up failed crops could significantly reduce their losses because they will only have to pay royalties on the area of oilseed rape that establishes. Growers place their order as normal, but need to collect an IC number from BIPO, explains Dr Hooper. “They simply declare the area of oilseed rape established by
1st November, on which they will pay royalty.” Of the new varieties, she notes that RGT Nizza CL has good vigour, but growers in areas where LLS disease pressure is high will need to look after it. “We have a very nice package with RGT Quizz, a low biomass variety which has multigenic resistance to phoma in addition to being tolerant to turnip yellows virus.” RGT Azurite has higher biomass than RGT Quizz, but it combines good stiff straw with high autumn vigour. “The combination of good vigour and reduced up-front seed costs for growers who sign up to the scheme will be a useful risk management option for growers, especially in areas prone to flea beetle attack. “So far, feedback has been good, but we will have to wait and see how it works out.”
Using the RL Sowing rates, pesticide application, fertiliser rates, establishment systems and soil type are all key variables affecting variety performance so the RL is a great way of allowing farmers to see how varieties perform in their region, says Elsoms Seeds’ combinable crop manager George Goodwin. He believes winter oilseed rape will be an attractive option in 2019 and, as long as it establishes well, growers should be able to achieve good gross margins. Mr Goodwin says: “Oilseed rape allows a good entry for the next cereal crop (relative to other crops) and offers growers an opportunity to over-winter a catch crop before spring cropping to help maintain soil health and structure.” A successful innovator in seed technology and breeding research, Elsoms Seeds has two oilseed rape varieties, Elgar and Kielder. Elgar is now in its fourth year on the RL, while Kielder, a newer addition, is a stand-out variety for growers from north Lincolnshire upwards with high resistance to light leaf spot and lodging. “There will be good seed availability for both varieties this year,” says Mr Goodwin. ■

OSR benchmarking helps Borders growers Oilseed rape harvest in Northumberland.
Benchmarking their production systems against one another and other OSR growers across the country through the ADAS Oilseeds YEN competition, is helping two forward-looking producers in the Scottish Borders fine-tune their improvement efforts. David Fuller-Shapcott (right) of Sweethope Farm just outside Kelso and McGregor Farms’ arable manager, David Fuller (below) at nearby Coldstream Mains grow very different amounts of OSR in very different regimes under surprisingly different conditions. But both have brought in good 5t/ ha-plus farm averages in the past and had 2018 YEN crops well within the top third of entries for percentage of estimated yield potential at 4.9t/ha and 5.5t/ha respectively. Alongside the most vigorous and
robust varieties, they see attention to establishment detail as the most crucial ingredient for OSR success. “Rape always does best at low seed rates,” said David FullerShapcott. “The last thing we want is mustard and cress. We’re after plants that are big and bushy rather than tall and tree-like. These give good lightintercepting canopies that don’t need much growth regulation. “Hybrids like DK Expansion and DK Exclaim, which are very vigorous but don’t take off too early in the spring before our ground warms-up enough to provide the nutrition they need, do us well.” David Fuller insists on similarly vigorous varieties, also growing hybrids alone – mainly DK Expansion, DK Exclaim and DK Exalte this season, putting the faster developers into the later and more challenging slots.
Genetic essentials Both growers also prioritise high oil content, strong phoma and light leaf spot resistance, stem strength and pod shatter resistance in their varieties.
Interestingly, neither take much notice of published yield ratings, knowing that the most reliable performance invariably comes from these genetic essentials. “As well as ticking all our boxes, DK Expansion topped our own strip trials last season, so it’s 50 per cent of our crop this time around,” reported David Fuller. “We need varieties we know suit our particular conditions and regime. Then we can really manage them for the performance we want. “We have to get around 650ha of OSR in the ground in the second half of August. So single pass establishment is essential. We sow in 45cm rows behind the legs of a Simba SL, working our silty loam soils to around 8in, puttingin liquid fertiliser ahead of the seed and firming the ground immediately with an Aqueel roller. “We typically sow 40 seeds/m2 as OSR can waste a lot of energy fighting its neighbours. So we put as much precision as we can into seed placement, deflecting the air from the pneumatic unit so the seed drops into the ground by gravity. This allows us to establish nice, even populations of 25–30 plants/m2. “For the past four years we’ve upped the rate of phosphate in our starter fertiliser,” he pointed out. “Applying 27kg/ha of P alongside 19kg/ha of N with added boron has definitely improved our establishment.”
Rapid establishment Rapid, single-pass establishment is equally vital for the 55ha of OSR David Fuller-Shapcott typically grows annually at Sweethope Farm. His heavy clay loam land recognised for its impeded natural drainage is at a much higher altitude as well as considerably wetter than most of the McGregor Farms’ ground, cooling down very
quickly in the autumn. Added to this, he does almost all the fieldwork himself. Having removed the preceding barley straw – as much to minimise slug cover as anything else – David also cultivates to around 8in, sows in similar width rows behind legs and applies fertiliser with the seed. He employs his own blend of sub-casting and drilling using a heavily-adapted Weaving Subdisc with a home-built tool bar carrying heavy duty double disc coulters and a press wheel. Clever engineering automatically links the soil fertiliser and seeding systems while allowing the depth of sowing to be adjusted independently of cultivation depth. “This gives us soil disturbance at depth, reasonable seedbed quality and good control over sowing depth,” he explained. “We drill at 30 degrees to the tramlines and double roll in parallel to them with a heavy set of Opico rolls, often right behind the seeder to get the billiard flat surface we want for the best seed-to-soil contact and the least slug friendly environment. “Although we might be able to improve things with liquid fertilisation, for the easiest storage and purchasing, we apply our standard 10:15:21:20 winter cereal fertiliser at 20kg/ha.” A sowing rate of 12–15 seeds/linear metre (equivalent to 24–30 seeds/ m2) is certainly on the low side – not least given the level of slug threat a Sweethope Farm. But post-harvest stem counts show the system results in spring populations of the 15–20 plants/m2 targeted. Both the Borders growers see their YEN reports as ‘gold dust’, giving them a massive amount of information on their crops and helping steer their thinking on where best to focus their continued improvement efforts. ■

Oilseed rape
Clearfield varieties offering growers greater management options Second generation Clearfield oilseed rape varieties will allow growers to reap far greater benefits than just better weed control, says breeder DSV. The Clearfield area increased to 80,000ha in 2018 representing 13 per cent of the total oilseed rape area drilled with improved genetic resilience and yield improvements likely to take that even higher in the future, believes the company’s Michael Farr (right). “In the early days, much of the interest in Clearfield was created by weed control with imazamox delivering reliable control of problem weeds such as charlock, runch and hedgemustard. “Furthermore, many growers had identified the high cost of pre-emergence weed control from

metazachlor-based products as being one of the most expensive elements of their establishment management.” But in the post neonicotinoid era, crop establishment has been less of a certainty and growers have seen significant other benefits with Clearfield, he says. “Many have found that by drilling a Clearfield variety they have more options in terms of drilling and subsequent agronomic strategies. From DSV’s own work on-farm we know many producers completely skip a herbicide application and many use other options later on in the season depending on the continued over...

emerging weed burden.” Better control of volunteers and improved quality at harvest is another factor that could lie behind the rapid rise in Clearfield popularity, he suggests. “Claims and rejections into the crush have clearly increased over the past two years and the main findings of research into this point towards volunteer oilseed rape being a major part of the problem. “Clearfield is the perfect solution to such issues with one application of the chemistry giving significant control of volunteers resulting in an almost instant improvement in quality.”
Oilseed rape Companion cropping is also increasingly popular, he says. “Many growers believe these can confuse cabbage stem flea beetle giving them other feeding opportunities than just the oilseed rape and Clearfield varieties fit in perfectly with this approach. “Mustard and other species drilled with Clearfield varieties put a barrier in the crop to give flea beetle other options for feeding, thereby relieving the pressure on the oilseed rape.”
More to come On-going breeding development means Clearfield will offer even greater benefits in the future,
Michael Farr believes. “The first wave of Clearfield varieties were somewhat off the pace in terms of gross output and were not the best adapted for UK growing conditions, either. “That’s all changed now with high yielding varieties featuring highly beneficial traits like pod shatter and tolerance to verticilium wilt.” The latest Clearfield winter oilseed rape variety released by DSV, Plurax CL, is a great example of this, he points out. “Plurax CL is a very well balanced variety with a unique combination of yield-stabilising factors including a good package
of disease resistance including excellent resistances and tolerances against stem canker, light leaf spot and verticillium wilt. “It has also shown a very high level of winter hardiness in a range of trials, delivering high yields and oil contents from a simple management system without the need for extensive agronomic intervention.” One of the few varieties to be tested by NIAB across seven sites over two years in the UK, Plurax CL has delivered the highest gross output and highest oil content of all Clearfield varieties in the data set, he explains. “It’s also been grown across Europe in all conditions and proven to be quick to establish in the autumn putting down a robust rooting system with exceptional stem stiffness and resistance to lodging.”

Another good example of a ‘second generation’ Clearfield variety proving itself in challenging conditions across Europe is Phoenix CL, Michael Farr adds. “Phoenix CL is a benchmark for Clearfield performance across Europe being one of the first such varieties to reach the yield levels of normal hybrids. “It is now one of the best adapted varieties available, consistently delivering high yield performance in a range of very difficult conditions with its yield stability underpinned by early vigour and a deep taproot system. “This allows the variety to access water and nutrients in deeper soil layers, so as well as good establishment it has the ability to recover quickly in the spring after a challenging winter. “Furthermore, it has a good package of disease resistance and exceptional pod shatter resistance that protects the seed through the full growing season giving it outstanding protection from sowing to harvest.” Such varieties will drive growing acceptance of Clearfield as a production system of choice that can deliver benefits far greater than just better weed control, he says. “There’s a lot more in the pipeline too with the next wave of varieties offering even greater agronomic features, better resilience for UK conditions and, of course, higher yields and oil contents.” ■

Fertiliser switch delivers key benefits for northern farm Switching to a true granular compound from liquid fertiliser has simplified management, reduced soil damage and improved crop health at West Whorley Hill Farm, near Darlington, in Co. Durham. Greater flexibility of timings and even distribution of nutrients have contributed to noticeably more consistent crop growth since the farm’s contractor-applied liquid fertiliser approach was replaced with high quality solid fertiliser, says owner Alan Medd. “We had been using liquid fertiliser for over 15 years in the belief that it was a lower cost option than using good quality solids but when we looked into this in greater detail last year, we realised this was no longer the case. “The costs per unit of N were pretty much identical but when you added in the very real benefits of using an ammonium nitrate-based compound, we realised it was time to consider making a change.” With around 90ha of cereals in total and a rotation of winter barley, triticale and wheat, the business’ aim is to keep things simple without compromising crop performance, he says. “We’re targeting wheat yields of plus 10t/ha with varieties like Belepi, Barrel, Dunston and Gravity. Around 40ha is down to continuous wheat and, although a lot of people may disagree with this, it works for us.
Keep it simple The decision to use liquid fertiliser was taken as part of this desire to keep things simple, he says. “We thought it would be

cheaper and, as we would be using a contractor, it would free up a bit more time for doing other things.” But the obvious damage the heavy self-propelled equipment was doing to the land was always concerning with the early applications being particularly worrying, he recalls. “We would have these large 4,000-litre sprayers churning up the soil in often very wet conditions at the beginning of March and you could see the damage they were doing. “It became such a problem that we stopped the first liquid application and replaced it with a solid blended fertiliser applied through a spreader, but we were never really happy with the performance of this.” Scorch has also been an issue with the liquid fertiliser at fairly frequent intervals, but in 2017 it was a problem to such an extent that the farm’s spray programme was delayed as the crop was under such stress from damaged leaves. “We had a period of fairly windy weather prior to the application and we wondered whether this had caused some of the protective wax to be stripped off the leaves, but, whatever the cause, it confirmed our decision to move back to a solid fertiliser,” says Alan. He decided to talk to his ACT representative Jo Holmes and they started to look at some options. “We worked out that in pure cost terms there was very little to choose between a unit of N from liquids or
ammonium nitrate,” Jo says. “We also realised that if we moved away from liquids we could simplify applications considerably, too. “Alan had already replaced the first liquid application with a sulphurcontaining blend due to potential soil damage from the heavy trailed sprayers and was using this again as a final dressing to avoid the risk of scorch. “He was also applying P and K in the autumn so that made a total of three passes being carried out by himself in addition to the contractor’s liquid application.” It was decided to use an ‘all in one’ spring–applied compound fertiliser, CF Premier Crop Sulphur (20N 8P 12K + 7SO3) as this would make it possible to apply the crops’ full N requirement at the same time as all the P, K and S needs in the same three passes Alan was already using. As well as making management simpler, it would also help split the application of nutrients to make them more available to the plants, Jo says. “Sulphur is very mobile in the soil and can leach through the soil profile so it is always advisable to split the requirement in to at least two applications. “It’s a similar situation with P and K and it is now widely accepted that applying these nutrients when the plant is growing vigorously and at a time it can utilise them fully is much better than putting them on in the autumn.” Although some digestate from a local AD plant and muck from the farm’s 100 sucklers and 160-strong Wagyu beef enterprise is used, the bulk of the nutrition comes from inorganic sources, Alan explains. “We’re not in an NVZ and tend to Alan Medd decided to use an ‘all in one’ spring–applied compound fertiliser, CF Premier Crop Sulphur.
follow RB209 recommendations so we’re aiming to put 200kg/ha N on the wheat from the bag. “With the Premier Crop Sulphur at this application rate we’re also getting 80kg/ha P, 120kg/ha K and 70kg/ha SO3 so it works really well for us without any further applications of straights of other N sources required.”
Effects noticed Despite 2018 not being the best year to assess the difference in performance of the two fertiliser approaches, Alan says the effect of the true granular compound was immediately noticeable. “The crops looked tremendous soon after application. They were greener, more even and we were really pleased. Then we got to June, it just stopped raining and one of the driest summers I can remember set in. “That said, our wheat still averaged 7.5–8.5t/ha and I am pretty sure this wouldn’t have been the case if we had stuck with the liquid fertilisers. “Putting a liquid on to crops already under stress from the drought would have just finished them off I think, so in hindsight it probably was the right year to make the change.” Production benefits aside, the solid compound has other advantages, he points out. “We can put it on whenever we feel the time is right, rather than when the contractor has a window, and we can stop if the weather closes in or we have something else to do. It’s a much more flexible approach. “Plus it’s no more work than I was doing before with the three passes anyway, so all in all it’s been a great result. I’m just looking forward to a better year weather-wise this year so we can really see the full benefits of it.” ■

Fertiliser strategy rethink helps farm expansion plans North Lincolnshire arable farmer, Andrew Radley.
Switching to liquid solution and suspension fertilisers has helped a North Lincolnshire arable farmer reduce workload at busy times of the year, ensure better use of the farm sprayer and by being able to store large quantities of product on farm, take advantage of competitive pricing. The break-up of a farming partnership involving two large farming organisations created a number of challenges for manager Andrew Radley based at Low Risby Farm near Scunthorpe. The most significant of these was an effective doubling in size of the existing arable enterprise and the subsequent pressure that this put on the available workforce and machinery. The farm in 2016 was a 600ha arable enterprise and after the split in the same year it increased to 983ha. In 2019 land under cultivation has increased to 1,100ha, almost doubling the original area but leaving the same management structure.
“Increasing the size of the business opened the door to employing a contractor to take some of the workload,” says Mr Radley. “We also opened dialogue with Omex Agriculture to explore using its suspension fertiliser on our oilseed rape crop. “Our first harvest was a real challenge because we were so short of labour, so the suspension fertiliser option coming along when it did was a huge relief. We also employed Omex to carry out all our soil sampling – an important decision having taken back in hand so much land the same year.”
Soils Soils across the farm vary from sand to limestone and from loamy soils to really strong land of the Carr series, which is low in phosphate. Mr Radley says that such variable soils require bespoke fertiliser mixes and the suspension and liquids lend themselves to his situation. “Omex analyses our soils in its laboratory and makes nutritional packages based on the results and also takes into account yield expectations and straw off-take,” he explains. The farm currently grows winter feed wheat that averages 9t/ha, winter and spring barley, oilseed rape and vining peas. Land is also rented out for potatoes. In 2017 it was accepted that the sprayer’s limited capacity meant it could not cope with the extra spraying required. In the short term
the capacity shortfall was taken up by a local contractor, before a trailed 6,000-litre, 30m Dammann Profi Class sprayer was purchased to apply all the agrochemicals and, to justify the £100,000 capital outlay, it was also tasked with applying liquid nitrogen. In 2018 he also used suspension fertiliser on the spring barley and included the first nitrogen dressing. The second nitrogen dressing was then applied through the farm sprayer with Omex Nitroflo. Switching to liquid fertiliser has had additional benefits including application accuracy and an improvement to the environmental footprint across the farm. Being close to many watercourses Mr Radley would regularly reduce rates on the headlands when applying granular fertiliser, ultimately leading to reduced yields. “The advantage of liquid fertiliser is that it can be applied at full rate right up to the field margins. Auto-shut off and GPS on the sprayer ensure application accuracy across the whole field too.”
Tank installations Subsequently, 5 Omex 50t storage tanks have been strategically positioned across the farm. Nitrogen is pumped into the tanks in the autumn and then replenished in the spring. “We look back now and ask ourselves why we didn’t switch earlier, but to be fair I think at the time we didn’t need to,” says Mr Radley. “Our situation changed because the business outgrew the sprayer. The
impact was felt most on the oilseed rape which needs the fertiliser at the start and it is also a busy time of year for other operations.” For the future Mr Radley says he is looking at liquid starter fertiliser on the oilseed rape with Omex N P solution fertiliser and slow release sulphur plus manganese also being applied in suspensions. All crops are more even and uniform from field corner to corner says Mr Radley, and he would not change from a liquid system now having seen the differences and felt the benefits. “Switching to a suspension system has freed up a man, which reduces the pressure on workload and we are also able to better utilise our existing sprayer to apply the liquid nitrogen,” he explains. “It has been one of the best decisions made. Once you’ve got your head around the fact that a key management process is being outsourced in terms of using contractors to apply Omex suspension, the benefits in terms of accuracy application, storage and cost effectiveness are easy to see.” ■
A trailed 6,000-litre, 30m Dammann Profi Class sprayer was purchased to apply all the agrochemicals and liquid nitrogen.
New fertiliser is battery-powered ZM-Grow, a new award-winning multi-nutrient fertiliser, has been launched in the UK and Ireland, providing zinc and manganese, together with potassium and sulphur, in liquid form. Uniquely, the zinc and manganese content is extracted from used alkaline batteries through a special process developed by Finnish manufacturers Tracegrow. It is thought to be the only process that can produce zinc and manganese from this source to the necessary purity for fertilisers. “The result is a highly flexible liquid fertiliser containing key nutrients for a wide variety of crops,” says owner of UK importer and distributor Badger Crop Nutrition, David Harrod. “And because of its liquid form and foliar application
it can be a handy tank-mix partner for products like fungicide Comet (pyraclostrobin), herbicide Starane XL (florasulam + fluroxypyr) or various growth regulators, to name a few.” While zinc deficiency is seen in 10–15 per cent of UK field crops, often on sandy soils with both a high pH and phosphate status, manganese is the most common micronutrient deficiency. Sugar beet, cereals – in particular barley – and peas are all prone, especially on high pH soils. Tracegrow recommends testing soils or crop leaves before deciding on timing and concentration levels. ZM-Grow is diluted from a concentrate, and normally applied between February–June. Depending on crop type and requirements,
and agronomists’ recommendations, 2–3litres/ha of concentrate is recommended, delivering 120-180g/ha of zinc and 124-186g of manganese, as well as 156-234g sulphur. Trials using 3-litres/ha in Västarkvarn, Finland in 2017 produced a 0.35t/ha increase in wheat yield and 0.9t/ha in barley from a single application. Because of its source material, it is certified as an organic fertiliser by OF&G. Badger Crop Nutrition’s David Harrod.

Responding to the ryegrass threat Italian ryegrass is around twice as competitive as black-grass.
Barrie Hunt turns his expert attention to managing Italian ryegrass in the latest in our series of articles on getting to grips with problem grass weeds. Black-grass may be the country’s number one grass weed problem, but Italian ryegrass is a far greater threat for many growers. Indeed, the latest national study shows the area of winter cereals affected by it growing at a much more rapid rate in recent years. A monster of our own grassland productivity creation, Italian ryegrass is around twice as competitive as black-grass – wheat yield losses of 10 per cent typically being seen from populations of only 10 plants/m2. What’s more, herbicide resistance is becoming noticeably more widespread, with some populations now showing limited susceptibility to most of the main selective chemistry in our armoury. If anything, ryegrass is more prolific than black-grass, producing over 5,000 seeds/plant which can
survive in the soil for a good 5 years. But, like black-grass, over 90 per cent of this germinates and emerges before December and will not do so if buried to a reasonable depth. This makes a similar approach to control important. It also means the best black-grass control programmes are likely to give effective control of Italian ryegrass, making specificallytargeted treatment necessary only where black-grass is not a problem.
Prioritise We clearly need to prioritise the worst-affected fields for intensive cultural control first. In view of the weed’s greater potential for rapid spread as well as competitiveness, however, effective early control of infestations is even more important than with black-grass.

Stale seedbeds are crucial here, so we can stimulate as much weed growth as possible and eliminate it with glyphosate ahead of drilling the next crop. This means rapid shallow tillage and good consolidation post-harvest to ensure the best weed seed-to-soil contact and moisture preservation in the germination zone. Providing the weed seed bank has been kept near the soil surface by several years of shallow tillage, rotational ploughing to bury all seed and trash can give excellent immediate control of the worst Italian ryegrass infestations. This will be far less effective, though, where previous cultivation has distributed the seed more widely through the soil profile. And we need to follow it with several years of shallow tillage or direct drilling to keep the remaining weed seed near the surface for pre-planting control and avoid bringing viable seed back to the surface again. In the same way as black-grass, we should delay winter wheat drilling until at least mid-October to give us time to deal with the bulk of weed emergence with our stale seedbeds; and move as little soil as possible when we do drill to stimulate the least emergence with the crop.
Competitive varieties Choosing more grass weedcompetitive wheat varieties will help too. Alternatively, where September drilling is important – as it can be on
heavy ground that rapidly becomes impossible to work in the wet – we can switch to substantially more competitive six-row barleys. Where the ryegrass risk is high, winter barley is inappropriate or we can’t get decent quality late-wheat seedbeds, spring drilling is the key. Apart from anything else it gives us the time to get rid of an even greater amount of weed growth before the next crop goes in, taking the pressure off in-crop herbicides. Whether we drill in the autumn or spring, we must maintain a robust residual pre-em herbicide programme, target post-em herbicides at the youngest possible stage of weed growth, and rotate actives over successive seasons to reduce selection pressure for resistance. If we have to delay drilling for more than a few days after preplanting treatment, including a permitted glyphosate with the preem can be valuable in dealing with very early seedbed weed emergence. Alongside these controls, we must also be prepared to spray-off badly-infested patches of cereals in the spring to minimise seed return; employ more than one spring crop in succession if we need to; and bear down on ryegrass as hard as black-grass in the cereal breaks in our rotation, giving us the best opportunities for in-crop control. As Roundup technical manager, Barrie Hunt co-ordinates the national on-line resource (www. monsanto-ag.co.uk/grassweedaction) providing the best information and guidance for growers keen to control grass weeds in the most sustainable way possible. ■

Maize
Aiming for a weed-free start for maize Growers should first check soil moisture before deciding whether to apply a preemergence herbicide, this year according to Syngenta technical manager, Georgina Wood (right). The spring weather across the UK has been very varied (at the time of writing in early April), with the eastern counties having very dry soils, while those counties further west have seen a lot more rain. “There is a need for moisture management this year on both sides of the spectrum,” she says. In some areas the ground is so dry that growers may even need to think about moving to post-emergence this year, she warns. “It may also be necessary to roll seedbeds to retain some moisture – and if seed has not been treated, deeper drilling may be necessary.” On the other hand, where there has been a lot of rainfall, while preemergence herbicides will be effective, care will be needed to ensure there is no run-off into watercourses. “In either case, the most important strategy is to ensure that the crop gets up and away to compete against weeds. “If you can, wait until just before drilling to prepare your seedbeds, and make sure the conditions are the best possible in the circumstances.”
Early as possible Nevertheless, when conditions are right, taking weeds out as early as possible helps achieve the best possible yields. “The switch point, after which lost yield cannot be recouped, can occur as early as the four true-leaf stage of maize growth. “If you are able to opt for pre-
emergence treatment, it reduces the early weed burden, and gives growers far greater flexibility to tailor post-emergence treatments to specific field weed populations – before yield potential is compromised,” she advised. Georgina pointed out that each crop’s specific ‘switch point’ for weed impact depends on factors including variety, seed rate, soil temperatures and the competitiveness of weed species. “But, as a rule, crops should be kept clean from 10–30 days post-emergence for optimum yields. “Early weed competition also adversely affects the maize plants’ rooting capability,” she warned. “That would inevitably impinge its ability to utilise nutrients and, crucially after last season, increase drought susceptibility. “Growers should be aware of changes in post-emergence herbicide options available over coming seasons,” she highlighted. “That is likely to increase reliance on pre-emergence Dual Gold (S-metolachlor), followed by tailored Callisto-based (mesotrione) post-emergence applications.” Ms Wood also urges growers to ensure treatments are been applied using optimum techniques. “Syngenta application trials for pre-emergence herbicides have demonstrated the importance of even spray distribution and the avoidance of drift,” she emphasised. “The research has shown the high levels of weed control that can be achieved with new 90% Drift Reduction technology nozzle design. “The mantra to follow is Go Low; Go Slow and Get Covered, with application at no more than 50cm boom height, travelling at 12kph or less and using a water volume of

200-litres/ha.” For post-emergence herbicides the 3D-Nozzle is advocated where conditions permit, but being prepared to change to an angled Amistar nozzle if drift is a concern.”
Alternative strategies Maize growers will need to think of alternative strategies for effective weed control, says Cheshire-based Agrovista agronomist Phil Campion. Relying on a one-hit postemergence spray is going to be difficult, partly because of the loss of Calaris (mesotrione + terbuthylazine), the mainstay of post-emergence herbicides for maize, which is now in its last season of use. With the loss of residual activity from Calaris, there will be more emphasis on a pre-emergence spray followed up by a well-timed postemergence spray. “It is really important to keep the field clean until at least the 6-leaf stage because if maize suffers any competition for moisture, nutrients or light, yield will take a hit. “If you can use a pre-emergence herbicide it will buy you time to assess
the weeds to target and tailor products accordingly, rather than going for a blanket spray at higher rates risking crop damage. “Depending on your weed spectrum, you may want to go with 1,000g of pendimethalin as a holding spray,” he says, adding that those with more difficult weeds such as cranesbill, groundsel or charlock may wish to step up to a broader spectrum product including dimethenamid-p. “Ensuring the best possible seedbed is prepared and seed is drilled at the correct depth, helps the crop get away as well as improving product efficacy. “When a pre-emergence herbicide is used, there can more flexibility too, as post-emergence products can be held back in case there is a late flush of nightshade. “Correct timing of the postemergence herbicide application is critical, so make sure spray contractors have plenty of notice. “A week’s delay can make a massive difference to weed size and therefore successful control so make sure if delayed to adjust rates where necessary.” ■

Innovation at heart of crop protection firm’s product pipeline New modes of action in the pipeline at agricultural sciences company FMC should soon be entering growers’ crop protection toolboxes, the company has announced. Heather Briggs reports. A new herbicide, Bixlozone, which is in the same class as clomazone and effective on grasses and broadleaved weeds, is expected to be available in Europe around 2023. “We submitted Bixlozone, which can be used as a broadspectrum herbicide with good black grass control in 2018,� said FMC country leader UK/IE Simon McMunn (right). Two new fungicides with a broadspectrum disease control are also in the company’s portfolio. Bixafen launched this year in the US and Fluindapyr will be introduced
in global markets with first sales around 2023 in the UK. Fluindapyr is an SDHI which targets foliar disease on oilseed rape and cereals, controlling a range of challenges such as rusts and leaf spot. UK trials are planned to start later this year for some of these new products, so growers can see them in action. FMC vice president and business director, EMEA Marc Hullebroeck (right), said: “Although the expected time where those products can reach the 59659

market sounds quite distant, when you think about it, they are only about three harvests away.� Following the acquisition of Cheminova (including Headland), and part of DuPont’s crop protection portfolio, FMC has increased its direct market access in Europe. As a result of the acquisition of the Dupont R&D discovery organisation in 2017, further basic investigations exploring potential new mode of actions are underway as FMC increases its funding for research and development, added Mr Hullebroeck. In addition, a wide range of molecules with new modes of action against key pests and diseases, including rusts and black-grass are soon expected to become available. Among these are five brand new actives in the R&D discovery pipeline for weed control, another four for insect and nematode control, and six fungicides, the company announced, adding that its priority is on new modes of action.
Biological plant protection While conventional chemistry remains the main focus for FMC, it sees an increasing role for biological plant protection which is already an important part of the portfolio. “Demand is likely to be driven by moving goal posts as pests develop resistance and also consumer pressure to reduce pesticide usage,� said FMC head of Global Plant Health R&D and EMEA R&D director, Dr Duncan Aust (right). These new tools are planned to help combat pest resistance by providing alternative modes of action including pest repellence, such as nematodes, he added. The first biological products have already been launched in Brazil and Asia, and are expected to be ready for the European market in the near future. “Work is on-going on four different platforms; bio-fungicides, bio-nematicides, bio-insecticides, biostimulants and /or crop nutrition.
“We already have bio-fungicides for row crops, fruit and vegetables in the development and registration process in Europe, plus a bionematicide already approved for use in Brazil.â€? He sees yield protection with biological seed treatments suppressing soil diseases such as fusarium and rhizoctonia solani as being important to the future. “We have been working on a strain of bacillus licheniformis that improves plant health and vigour, enhancing water efficiency and drought tolerance, as a complementary solution for seed treatment.â€? Soil sampling and microbiome analysis plays a role in screening for activity against plant pathogens as areas where crops are healthy can indicate where useful strains of bacteria may reside. “We have already found some useful information which may help fight alternaria solani, sclerotinia sclerotiorum and phytophthora capsica.â€? Compounds are then identified that potentially target the pathogen and their effectiveness is then measured. They are then formulated in laboratories and sent into the field for on-farm testing. “We are looking for biocidal effects, repellency and the potential to switch on the plant’s own defence mechanisms. “Understanding the drivers of these processes is also crucial to optimising the dose rate and ensuring the best possible consistency.â€? In addition to biopesticides, the company has some biostimulants ready for market including in the UK. This is partly because they are able to get through the regulatory system in the EU more easily than biopesticides, which are currently subjected to the same regulatory process in the EU as conventional plant protection chemistry. Mr Hullebroeck said: “The new actives – both conventional and biological – are planned to complement each other. “By focusing on innovation, FMC is aiming to become one of the UK’s top providers of synthetic and biological plant protection products.â€? â–

Precise fertilisation made simple
The Atfarm app from Yara helps farmers create precise application maps for fertiliser in just a few clicks.
Offering a digital solution to crop monitoring and the creation of variable-rate application maps to optimise nitrogen fertilisation was the thinking behind development of Atfarm by Yara. Atfarm helps farmers decide where the right amount of nitrogen is needed on their fields. It combines a user-friendly web app with Yara’s agronomic knowledge, for the analysis of satellite images. The technology used was developed by Yara using decades of field trials. In just a few steps users can create an application map based on a crop’s real growth conditions and adapt the maps according to their own knowledge and field experience. Farmers and agronomists can sign up online and start testing Atfarm for free. Field boundaries can be uploaded with a shapefile or they can be drawn onto the map.
With Atfarm’s satellite pictures of biomass, the farmer will be able to detect even the smallest differences in growth inside their fields. The user will be able to make a follow-up of the crop growth during the season and make comparisons with the previous season. Atfarm makes the information coming from the ESA Sentinel 2 satellites accessible and insightful for farmers. Using the N-Sensor algorithm, Atfarm analyses the light reflected by crops to estimate biomass levels. Different colours and shades, ranging from brown through green to purple, show the vegetation density of a field. The advantage of N-Sensor technology is that it allows farmers to identify differences in later growth stages of a crop which is useful for farmers who apply fertiliser and protein dressings after canopy closure.

Rural Advice
Plan ahead for inevitable income shift
Mark Russell
At the time of writing (29th March 2019), all I really know for certain is that we are not leaving the EU today. But, whatever the detail of the outcome, we have been given a fairly firm steer on the future of subsidy support and, assuming we do leave in some way shape or form, the tariff and non-tariff borders around the UK will change. On that basis, it is understood that farm incomes in different sectors will see quite different changes in their potential. Wholly arable farms suffering from reductions in subsidy receipts, but continuing to receive crop value at close to world trade prices, are shown in Andersons’ model “Loam Farm”, to have an on-going business surplus through to 2028. On Andersons’“Friesian Farm” (dairy model), only in a no-borders and no-tariff world do they predict current surpluses turning negative. But, in their mixed farm model “Meadow Farm” they predict a double whammy of lower subsidy prices and lower produce income, creating a
negative picture in all of the outcome scenarios. This is not good news for those running such mixed farms. In the past, these business models have benefited from “horn” and “corn” generally balancing against each other, creating stability. But such businesses need to plan now for the next 10 years with 3 clear options for them to consider: • Specialising into one of their farming businesses • Diversifying now to create new income – overcoming any previous cultural issues of engaging with the public • Getting off the train early via a sale or contracting out arrangements Recent research into diversification, sponsored by Carter Jonas, showed that many now experienced in this area wished they had done more, and earlier, but also believe they should have allowed themselves a larger initial budget and a longer lead in time to achieve planning permission. Specialisation may need to come by way of working more closely with neighbours.
Mixed farms are predicted a double whammy of lower subsidy prices and lower produce income.
An early sale may enable a family to secure a long term future by releasing the capital wrapped up in the farm land, and putting this to work creating commercial returns via investments and alternative property purchases. Again, this requires a cultural shift in imagination, but looking at the long term for a family retaining an interest in the rural world via a small block of land may be better
than flogging a business destined to sap capital and income from the family over the medium term. Hard decisions will be considered over the tea and cake on various kitchen tables this spring with those brave enough to make a decision getting ahead of an almost inevitable income shift over the next five years. mark.russell@carterjonas.co.uk 07967 555 737. ■

Weed control benefits from drill choice on Gloucestershire farm With reducing numbers of chemical solutions available in the armoury, weed control is a growing challenge. But for one Gloucestershire grower with no chemicals to fall back on, the correct choice of a new drill was essential. David Williams reports. Trading as Donkeywell LLP, Tim Peachey farms at Quenington, near Cirencester. He is the third generation of his family to farm there having taken over from his father in 2008, and the 280ha of arable cropping is fully organic since his father made the decision to farm without artificial chemicals in 1992. “It wasn’t a lifestyle decision,” Tim explains, “but motivated by higher profits available at a time when conventional produce returns were falling.”
A recent bird survey on Tim’s farm identified 58 species of which 15 are ‘red listed’. The rotation includes two-year clover-based leys on which sheep are grazed adding organic matter and providing an opportunity to keep on top of arable weeds. “It’s rewarding farming this way as we don’t rush around applying slug pellets, fertilisers or sprays like conventional farms and we enjoy
increased wildlife encouraged by availability of insects for food, as well as predators which take advantage of them. We love seeing rooks in the fields as they help control slug numbers, and although we suffer a few bare patches it’s not an issue as we don’t spend on chemicals.”
Spring sown Arable crops are all springestablished, and the rotation is wheat, barley, oats, then two years of clover. “We used to grow oats after wheat, then barley which is what is generally recommended, but the lack of a decent canopy from the barley allowed vigorous weed growth which affected the following
crop. Oats offer improved control and those weeds which take advantage of the barley’s more open growth habit and development are tackled later by the under-sown clover.” Although the Cotswold brash is often a challenge, getting field work timings right provides natural weed control as the fast drying soil starves disturbed weeds of moisture. “We use a stubble cultivator with following tines to drag weeds to the surface, then the roots dry out and significantly reduce the population. Our main problem weeds are docks and creeping thistle,” Tim added. Cultivated ground is rolled before winter then left to green before continued over...
Tricky soils Soils are mainly Cotswold brash with high stone populations, but more loamy near the farm’s base, and the 6in of free-draining topsoil provides opportunities to work just a few hours after heavy rain, but it means preserving moisture is essential for growing crops. Complementing the organic crop production, the farm is involved in environmental initiatives including 18–19ha of HLS comprising beetle banks, game plots and areas encouraging lapwings and skylarks. SeedFlex coulters create minimal disturbance outside the seeding area and incorporate rubber rollers which provide depth control and consolidate the seeded area to maximise seed-to-soil contact and retain moisture.

Seed depth control is excellent with the drill relatively unaffected by varying soil types, explained Tim Peachey.
SeedFlex coulters were selected after Tim noticed that weeds thrived on part of a field which had been rolled, whereas populations were much lower where the soil was less firm. The latest Kuhn Venta power harrow/ drill combination has a new mounting system allowing easy separation and independent depth control of the power harrow, improving versatility.
alternative establishment systems, and he comments that it also saves at least one cultivation pass. After many years of dependable service Tim updated his machine to another of the same brand, but poor build quality resulted in reliability issues and Tim was soon forced to look at alternatives. “Farming alone I need machinery I can rely on so other brands were considered, including the latest Kuhn model which I had seen at Lamma. My local dealer Cotswold Farm Machinery provided a demonstration and it performed well. Availability of an extended hopper, increasing capacity to 1,800 litres, was an advantage allowing me to squeeze in two large bags of seed, enabling 5–6ha of drilling between fills rather than 3–4ha.”

ploughing, while manure is applied to the grass. Straw is sold for organic mushroom production and PAS100 green waste is brought in, supplying much needed P and K. “Our soils tend to be very alkaline so we tackle that by spreading the compost on the grass where it is absorbed and nitrogen is fixed by the clover. Grass is ploughed after the second year in
October, then left over-winter ready for spring crops. Rye is being trialled this year as a possible replacement for wheat which has variable results. Clover is established by undersowing into the oats. A power harrow/drill combination is favoured for its ability to cope with the stony land and work in a range of conditions. It lets Tim get on earlier than using
However, the main attraction of the new Kuhn was the SeedFlex coulters – available as an alternative to traditional Suffolk versions. These disturb only a thin strip of soil where the seed has been placed and are followed by narrow rubber rollers which consolidate soil around the seed and act as depth wheels. “I’ve got one field with a significant black-grass problem and
hadn’t got around to rolling all of it last year. The rolled area developed a high black-grass population but there was less where the land wasn’t rolled as the soil was drier and grass weeds hadn’t thrived. This made me look at coulter design and I believed that, particularly on our quick-drying soils, leaving the area between seed rows loose would reduce weed establishment,” Tim explained. The Kuhn Venta HR drill and HR3030 power harrow were supplied last October by the dealer. As well as availability of the SeedFlex coulters, improvements over the previous model include a new chassis with the hopper mounted further forward for easier lifting and improved stability, as well as hydraulic adjustment of the packer roller and levelling bar giving easier adjustment that can be carried out on-the-move. The main change, however, is that the hopper, coulter bar and levelling bar are all carried by the rear roller support frame which gives two distinct advantages. Firstly, an improved linkage for coulter adjustment; one turnbuckle alters drilling depth and coulter pressure simultaneously, making adjustment of the drill very simple for the operator. The second is that the power harrow working depth can be altered independently of the drilling depth and without compromising the seedbed quality, or needing to adjust the seeding depth. Calibration is more convenient too and Tim said it takes just a few minutes from start to finish. “My drilling rates have never been so accurate and through the Isobus-linked display in the tractor cab I can easily increase or decrease the rate on the move. The drill also has a speed input so that it can adjust the seed outlet to maintain the set seed rate regardless of travel speed which allows me to make best continued over...

use of the Fendt’s infinitely variable CVT transmission.” When Farmers Guide visited in late March, Tim had established approximately 170ha with the new drill. “It’s well made and there have been no problems at all,” he continued. “The power harrow copes well with our stony ground and the blades are barely worn. It’s performed really well and because conditions were ideal much earlier than usual this year, we drilled our first barley during the first week of January. It’s looking good and establishment across the field is impressively even,” he said. The only issue to have affected drilling so far this year was that in extremely wet conditions, soil picked up on the rubber depth rollers. “It’s not a problem,” commented Tim. “It’s a good indicator for us as to when conditions are just too wet, as everything has its limit.”
Seed rates Home-saved seed is preferred, as Tim believes seed produced on his land is from plants which have proved their suitability for his soils. Wheat is drilled at 235–250kg/ha, barley at 185kg/ha and oats are at 165–190kg/ ha. “We need to ensure there is enough crop canopy to smother weeds but with plants not so thickly established that their growth is restricted. We opted for 24 coulters at 12.5cm spacing rather than 20 at 15.0cm, because we don’t want too big a gap between seed rows which might allow weeds to thrive.” Seed is drilled at 25–38mm depth and Tim said that even if the soil type varies across the field, emergence has been even. “Our previous drill was affected far more by soil type and it was easy to see as crops emerged where the coulters had penetrated further or been pushed closer to the surface,” he said. Typical drilling speed is 10kph,
and work rates so far have averaged approximately 3ha/hr, allowing Tim to achieve 20–25ha per day easily on his own.
Popular range Cotswold Farm Machinery area sales manager Guy Medlicott said the Kuhn drill was the first of the latest type sold by the dealer, but that advantages of its design meant it has already created considerable interest. “It’s an ideal main drill for small to medium-sized farms and contractors, but it’s also a ‘get out of jail’ solution for larger farms which often use wider minimum tillage drills when conditions are ideal. Full Isobus control on the latest model saves customers having to invest in a separate screen and the clever linkage system means drivers can make adjustments quickly and get the most out of the drill very easily. Every drill also comes with a top link-controlled seed flow shutoff, so even those using manual control gain automatic seed flow shut-off when the drill is lifted at the headland.” The dealer has sold Kuhn machinery for more than 14 years and Guy said the brand’s popularity means examples of almost every product can be seen working within 30 minutes’ drive of the depot. “The line-up is always expanding and additional tillage solutions offering reduced disturbance have been a focus recently, including SeedFlex coulters on zero-tillage drills,” he added. “I’m really pleased with my decision to buy the Kuhn Venta drill,” concluded Tim. “It out-performs my previous machines’ work rates and accuracy, and creates an ideal environment for seed to flourish while reducing opportunities for weeds to develop. It’s well made, easy to set up and suits my situation ideally, and I know I have a very good local dealer in Cotswold Farm Machinery to provide back-up and advice when needed.” ■
With its new hopper extension, the Venta drill can hold two large bags of seed.
Barley drilled on 5th January was looking good when Farmers Guide visited in late March.

Bob Hubbard (1937–2019) Robert (Bob) Hubbard, the founder of Team Sprayers Ltd has died at the age of 81. Bob was born and grew up in Enfield, North London. His working career started at the Enfield Rolling Mills (ERM) when he left school aged just 16, but, at the age of 17, he took 2 years out for his National Service serving in the RAF before returning to ERM in the work study department. In 1964 Bob left ERM and was employed as the works manager at
Refrigeration Appliances (part of the same group as ERM), where he was instrumental in moving the company to Haverhill, Suffolk. In 1973 he moved again to Dorman Sprayers as the company’s works director until it was bought out by Ransomes, Sims & Jefferies and then closed in 1980. It didn’t take Bob long to realise the potential for a new company which is when Team Sprayers was founded (1981). Remaining in the city of Ely, a team of seven local employees were recruited from Dorman, bringing with them a combination of skills and knowledge
which were an essential starting block for the newly founded company which was to carry on manufacturing agricultural sprayers and associated equipment. In 2002 at the age of 65 Bob was making firm plans for retirement. With his two boys, Danny and Philip, now fully involved in the business it made it an easier decision to break away from his beloved company. Three years later and it was time to make the break leaving the running and decision making to his sons, only advising as and when necessary. Now, some 17 years on, the business continues to grow with
the factory being recently fully refurbished and a newly built extension added. Bob’s pastimes included football and hockey at a much younger age and, in his later years, he enjoyed coaching the local football team. Other interests were fishing, walking, gardening, woodwork and woodturning, but his main passion was always for his drawing and painting.

Open Day
Customers join Yorkshire dealer celebrations A very successful open day at Peacock & Binnington’s new Halsham depot was the first since the dealer took over the business of long-established Northfield Agricultural Services. David Williams was there. The event was the public launch of the new trading agreement although Peacock & Binnington acquired its neighbour last autumn. Both were long-established Agco dealers and continuity of service is assured by the retention of the Halsham team following the takeover. Acquiring Halsham means Peacock & Binnington now represents all Agco brands across all of South Yorkshire from two depots; Selby and Halsham as well as Lincolnshire from three depots at Brigg, Corringham and Louth. Northfield Agricultural had been trading since 1976 at the site and had built a loyal customer base among farmers and contractors in the area and, building its reputation on excellent after-sales service, was an ideal fit for Lincolnshirebased Peacock & Binnington which
celebrates 125 years serving the industry this year. Brands represented include Massey Ferguson, Fendt, Valtra and JCB along with quality complementary franchises; Krone, Joskin, Vaderstad, McHale, McConnel, Alpego, Cherry Products, LH Agro, Stihl, Draper, Stocks-Ag, Martin Lishman, Stewart Trailers, Larrington Trailers and Albutt. Dealer staff from across Peacock & Binnington’s depots were at the event assisted by manufacturer representatives to cope with the large number of product and service enquiries from new and existing customers and although the weather on the day was ideal for completing spring drilling and spraying, the attendance was excellent as customers were keen to meet the extended team and show their support for the dealer.
An advantage for customers is the wider range of franchises resulting from the amalgamation.
An award was presented to the Cross family who owned and traded as Northfield Agricultural Services in recognition of 40 years as a Massey Ferguson dealer. The family remains fully involved despite the change of trading name, which has delighted existing customers. (l-r) Halsham depot administrator Sarah Wilkin, Richard Cross, George Cross and Massey Ferguson national sales manager for UK and Ireland William Judge. Pride of place was taken by a special edition Massey Ferguson 7726 marking 125 years of trading by Peacock & Binnington. The exact colour specification remains a secret but up to 7 different shades are revealed depending on the lighting and viewing angle. The tractor will be displayed at all major events attended by the dealer, and sold at the end of this More over page... year. There has already been considerable interest from potential buyers.

Benefits of the new trading agreement
More choice and improved back-up
Massey Ferguson area sales representative David Broad explained that customer benefits from the new trading agreement include support and back-up from a bigger dealer along with more specialist technical support, sales support and a wider range of demonstration equipment. “Peacock & Binnington depots all run as separate identities but with the backing of the parent company, and this means the Halsham branch will be no different and the dedication to customer care by George and Richard over many years will continue. Customers I have spoken with since the autumn when the business was taken over have been very positive and appreciate the benefits it offers and are excited by possibilities including a wider range of products available. “Luckily there was quite a wide overlap of franchises between the neighbouring dealers which helped create a natural fit and this not only benefits customers, but both businesses too.” Pictured (l-r) Massey Ferguson sales manager for harvesters Joe Ford, Peacock & Binnington Massey Ferguson brand manager Dan Woodall, David Broad and William Judge.
“We always receive great service, the depot is next door to our farm and we know the team is available whenever we need them,” explained local farmer Jonathan Hodgson who is pictured with daughters Lucy and Isabel and dealer senior sales support representative Rob Atkins. Jonathan said his tractor fleet includes two Fendts – a 720 and an 828, he runs a Massey Ferguson combine and also has a JCB Loadall 541-70 bought from the dealer. The 280ha farm is all arable growing combinable crops and Jonathan said that he believes service and parts back-up will become even better while a wider pool of machinery brands will allow a wider choice. “It’s all very reassuring for us,” he added.
Award-winning combine on show
Superb accuracy from latest drill
The Fendt Ideal combine displayed was the same machine which had recently appeared as the machinery prize winner at the 2019 Farmers Guide Awards for Excellence, and it had been cleaned and polished ahead of the open day by JGF Valeting based at Doncaster. Pictured with the Ideal are (l-r) Fendt area sales manager Simon Hewitt, Peacock & Binnington harvest sales support manager Scott Nicholson, JGF Valeting’s James Fisher and Ryan Baines and Fendt harvesting product manager Ant Risdon. Humberside Farmers is based at North Newbald, near York and foreman Paul Smith is pictured at the open day with members of the Vaderstad and dealer teams. The farm is all-arable with crops including oilseed rape, potatoes and peas although most of the 1,400ha is down to cereals. Vaderstad products used include a Rapid 6m drill plus Carrier, NZ and TopDown cultivators. “We stick with Vaderstad products as we have found we can always depend on them,” explained Paul. “The Rapid RDA600S drill is our third Rapid, and the latest is fitted with SeedEye ensuring superb accuracy. We changed from a 5m TopDown to a 6m model last year because we found it is more of a soil conditioner than a simple cultivator. On some of our heavier ground in particular, since moving to the TopDown our crops have been the best ever, and we credit much of this improvement to its performance.” Pictured are (l-r) Vaderstad UK managing director Michael Alsop, Paul Smith, George Cross and Vaderstad territory sales manager for the north Nick Tinker.
Unique bale clamp The new bale clamp from Albutt is unique, according to business development manager Dan Cross (pictured). The F650HX has Hardox tines for resistance to breaking or bending and a hydraulic flow divider valve ensures both sides close and open simultaneously. The lower tine bar folds up for transport and the clamp is suitable for round, Hesston, mini-Hesston and Quadrant bales.

Convenient location
Good service always available The Robinson family farms at Sunk Island, south-east of the Halsham depot. Trading as CG Robinson & Son the all-arable farm is mainly combinable crops although some land is rented out for vining peas. A Fendt 6275LMCS combine was purchased for the 2018 harvest with a 22ft PowerFlow table. “Our previous combine was almost identical but had a standard 20ft table and the improved performance resulting from the more even crop flow is impressive,” explained its main operator James Robinson. The farm has dealt with the Halsham dealer team since 1976 when it started offering Massey Ferguson products, and also operates a Challenger crawler. “Good service was always available,” said Michael Robinson, “and I am happy that the team at the depot is remaining while becoming part of a larger dealer will give us a wider choice of brands for the future. The Challenger was bought from Peacock & Binnington’s Brigg depot as that was the nearest franchised dealer at the time, but it will be much more convenient going forward being able to have it serviced more locally.” Pictured (l-r) Fendt area sales manager Simon Hewitt, James Robinson, Fendt area sales manager Ed Dennett, Michael Robinson and Fendt harvesting product manager Ant Risdon.
Since changing tractor brands to Valtra in 2007, the Hodgson family has never looked back. “We had used another brand for many years without problems, but then started to get reliability issues, and got fed up with big repair bills,” explained Will Hodgson. “We had heard a lot about Valtra and were recommended the brand for its reliability More over page... so we bought two; a T151 and a T131 both from the dealer looking after our area at that time. “We upgraded the T131 to a second T151 quite quickly then ran both until 2017 when we changed one for a new T174 Versu from Peacock & Binnington at Brigg which was our local dealer at that time. The improvements over the older model were significant and we have just taken delivery of a second T174, but an Active specification in February this year,” he added. “We have 240ha of arable cropping as well as bed and breakfast pigs and the Valtras spend much of their time on the pig unit and perform field top work and transport tasks. They are excellent for road work. “This Peacock & Binnington Halsham depot will be a big advantage for us as, although the service from Brigg was always excellent, this location is much more convenient. We have no doubts at all that we will remain with Valtra in future and are confident that back-up available from this depot will be just as good.”

Machinery Back-up always available
Sprayer adjusts to ground contours
Mick Grant and his son Harry are pictured with George Cross (centre) and one of the Massey Ferguson tractors displayed. Trading as William Grant (Paul) Ltd and based at Roos, just a few miles from the Halsham depot, the farm is mainly arable with pigs too. Harry, who is the fifth generation of the family to farm there, commented that almost all the machinery was supplied by the dealer including Massey Ferguson tractors. “Our first Massey Ferguson was a 595 bought in the late 1970s and was the first sold by Northfield. We have run many over the years but now have a 7618 and a 7624 as well as a Fendt and a Challenger. Other machinery supplied from the depot includes a Vaderstad Rapid drill – our third of the type, a TopDown and a Rexius press. Trailers are from the dealer as well, and we have a Joskin tanker for the slurry. “There has always been back-up available any time we have needed it, and we believe that with the previous team remaining and the back-up of Peacock & Binnington going forward it’s all very positive.”
A Fendt Rogator self-propelled sprayer was displayed at an extreme angle to demonstrate its ability to adjust to follow ground contours. In the cab are enthusiastic youngsters Alfie (left) and Alex Watt, sons of Halsham depot administrator Colette Watt.

New slurry applicator on display
Topcon specialist LH Agro had an indoor stand at which sales and service engineers Robert Reed (left) and James Donger were kept busy explaining features and benefits of the latest precision farming products. Automatic headland turns are available through X25 and X35 terminals with customisation including specifying the number of bouts skipped and the ability to automatically select all the tramlines first and then work the areas between. The new AE535 electric steering motor is more compact than its predecessor allowing tidier installation with a shallower motor unit and built in status lights and switches.
Reliable after-sales service
A new Joskin Quadro 20,000-litre slurry applicator using the company’s Vacu-Storm pumping system was displayed, awaiting delivery to its new owner Tim Burdass (right) who is pictured with George Cross. Trading as J&M Burdass based at Kilham, Yorks, the farming business includes arable cropping – a mix of owned and whole farm contracted and pigs which are fattened for JSR. The tanker has been purchased to apply pig slurry and Tim explained that, equipped with a John Deere NIR sensor to measure nitrogen, phosphorous and potash, it is suitable for slurry or digestate and will be used also to provide contract slurry application for farms in the area. “With John Deere software in the cab, we can monitor and control variable rate applications to make the most of the nutrients available,” he explained.
Checking out the latest JCB Loadall with its new Command Plus cab are (l-r) Cooper Hemingway, Daniel Collinson, Phillip Collinson, David Collinson and Debbie Hemingway. The family are dairy farmers based at Willerby with a herd of Friesian Holsteins and arable land too, growing combinable crops used mainly for feed. More over page... “We have dealt with Northfield previously as well as Peacock & Binnington and we recently ordered one of the first of the new Loadalls; a 538-60 which is due for delivery in mid-May,” explained Phillip. “It’s replacing a 2014 Loadall which was bought with a 5-year, 4,000-hour warranty and is due for updating. We bought a second-hand Massey Ferguson combine from the dealer last year, and have also bought a McHale baler, a spreader and a Krone tedder and rake. We like dealing with the team and can rely on the after-sales service,” he added.

Machinery Keen interest in induction heater
...More on previous page A wide range of Draper workshop tools was displayed, many available with special discounts for the event, but the product attracting most attention was an induction heater priced at just £525. “It’s designed for rusted components such as bolts and bearings,” explained Draper area sales manager Richard Adams. “It quickly heats metal components of up to 42mm diameter and is supplied with three pre-formed induction coils suitable for most farm situations. There is also a free-style length of cable which can be looped around components where the supplied loops aren’t suitable. It runs from a 13-amp mains socket, the tool and wire remains cool and there is no naked flame so it’s much safer than using oxyacetylene in the workshop,” he added. Watching Richard (left) demonstrate the heater were the Jobling family from nearby Eastfield Farm, Hollym; Harold and Peter Jobling and son-in-law John Purse. The family has dealt with the dealer since it started trading, approximately 43 years ago, pointed out Peter.
Handler attachments on display Tim Leather (left) and his son Jamie are pictured with Graham Cherry (centre) of Cherry Products and a selection of handler attachments displayed at the event. Farming at Green Hammerton, Tim explained that the farm has a Holstein dairy herd and also grows arable crops. A fleet of Massey Ferguson machinery includes tractors from a 1960s 35X to a 2-year old telehandler, used with Cherry Products attachments, and a Massey Ferguson combine bought second-hand last year. “We deal with Peacock & Binnington’s Selby depot and have always received good service – we rate them 10 out of 10,” he explained.
Reassuring warranty
On the Martin Lishman stand, grain storage products including the Floor Vent system as well as small sprayers for field margins were creating considerable interest, explained sales executive Tom Pickering (left) and national sales manager Joel Capper.
Alpego was an established brand for Northfield Agricultural Services but is new to Peacock & Binnington and sales from the Halsham depot have been mainly power harrows, flail mowers and drills,” explained area sales manager for the north of England Robert Wilmshurst. “This area includes a lot of heavy ground and our power harrows have a full three-year drive-line and structural warranty which is reassuring for users.”
Popular verge and hedge-cutters
Straw baling demand
Both Peacock & Binnington and Northfield Agricultural Services have represented McConnel in their trading areas for many years, selling large numbers of Power Arm verge and hedge-cutters to contractors and farmers explained territory manager Ian Lax who is pictured with one of the latest models. “Most are 5.5–8.0m models and as well as the hedge-cutters, the dealer has recently supplied an Agribuggy.”
Halsham is the only Peacock & Binnington depot from which McHale machinery is available, having been offered by Northfield Agricultural for many years. “Most demand is for straw baling with the large number of arable farms in the area explained McHale sales manager for the north of England Mike Jackson (pictured). The V660 belt baler accounts for most sales and customers know it will be backed up by great service from an enthusiastic team.”

The Farnaby family farms at Scorborough, near Driffield, Yorks and pictured (l-r) are Dom Cuthbert with his uncle Andrew, George Cross and Colin and Harry Farnaby. The mixed farm includes a commercial beef suckler herd of pure Limousin cattle and much of the machinery used has been supplied by the Halsham depot. “We bought our first Massey Ferguson 2620 from George and still run Massey Ferguson today,” explained Colin. “Back-up from the dealer is excellent and we have always found the team loyal to us, so we are loyal to them. We are pleased that following the takeover by Peacock & Binnington the original team remains involved and we can appreciate that going forward there will be a wider range of machinery available to us. “We run a JCB Loadall too, and bought a second-hand Vaderstad drill and we currently operate a fleet of four Massey Ferguson tractors which we try to keep up to date. It’s a fairly reliable brand; we get very few issues and with the good team backing it up at this dealer we have just what we need.”

Tractors
Crawler combines performance, economy and comfort Allowing Fendt engineers to redesign a rubber-tracked crawler series from the ground up meant the result was bound to feature extra comfort and efficiency and especially a CVT transmission. David Williams has been trying it out. Agco Challenger crawlers are a common sight on UK farms; their ability to stretch work windows and reduce compaction valued by many large arable growers. Sister company Fendt took over the range in late 2017 with first deliveries of green models commencing in early 2018, and while the larger Challenger 800-series remained similar in its new guise as Fendt 1100MT models, the smaller 700-series became 900 Vario MT models and availability stopped for a while concluding 7 years’ research and development as Fendt engineers put final touches to an all-new range. The larger 1100MT series includes 4 models from 492–646hp, all with the same powershift transmission as their predecessors but Fendt is known for its Vario infinitely-variable transmissions and central to the new 380–431hp, 3-model 900MT series’ design was the inclusion of a new Vario Drive gearbox. Until quite recently, CVT transmissions were regarded as ideal for tractors working in low draft situations where their operating advantages outweighed the loss in power transmission efficiency.
However, design improvements including the ability to ‘lock-up’ the transmission to reduce power losses have made it suitable for larger tractors too, and the small reduction in mechanical efficiency is easily outweighed in most situations by increased flexibility in the field.
Comfort and productivity Fendt 900 Vario MT models share the company’s own transmission with 1000-series wheeled tractors, available with up to 538hp. “Priority for design engineers was improving operator comfort as much as optimising efficiency and productivity,” explained Fendt tracked tractor product specialist Gergely Olah. “The result was effective chassis and cab suspension and the 900 Vario MT is the only twin-track machine with suspended mid rollers. The whole undercarriage was lengthened by 13cm, all added at the front and much of the weight is carried by coil springs with up to 260mm travel assisted by shock absorbers on each side, and with rubber blocks to cushion in extreme conditions.” continued over...
Operators expecting a high level of comfort from the Fendt won’t be disappointed as the cab is spacious, and the Fendt stylists have ensured operators of the wheeled tractor range will be immediately at home in it.

Tractors
Fendt’s Mobil Trac System has built-in suspension allowing the central carrier to oscillate up to 11 degrees. The three mid wheels are mounted on a Tri Bogie carrier, allowing accurate ground following. ...from previous page
To prove his point, during Farmers Guide’s walk-around, Gergely grabbed the front ballast weight and rocked the front of the 16t tractor up and down. “Previously the rear mid roller pivots were directly under the seat so when travelling over bumps the shock was felt above. Moving the pivot point forward has reduced the effect of undulations on the driver,” he added. The new carriage design allows independent movement of each track, and the assemblies oscillate up to 11 degrees for precise ground contour following. Drive is through the rear wheels by friction and a chevron pattern on the rubber face ensures any debris is quickly cleared. Correct tension is essential and this is provided by hydraulic rams with gas accumulators acting on each front idler wheel allowing a range of movement and keeping the tracks central. “It’s a simple system,” explained Gergely. “In extreme conditions up to 8cm of ram travel is available and to check tension the operator has only to glance at the ram and a visible shiny section means movement is available and no adjustment is needed.” Three large mid rollers maintain track alignment and maximise ground contact area. Polyurethane snap-in discs on the inner edges where they rub against the tracks’ rubber blocks reduce heat build up. No daily maintenance is needed. Hub oil levels are checked by sightglass and oil is changed at 2,000 hours. The Tri Bogie suspension system allows any combination of one or more rollers to lift and pivot around objects, and maximises weight distribution and traction. Gergely explained that for maximum productivity
approximately 5 per cent track to ground slippage is ideal, but more than 10 per cent slippage suggests operations should be stopped. “Correct ballasting results in the tractor remaining horizontal under load to maximise track to ground contact, counteracting the natural tendency for the front to lift when pulling hard.”
Engine development Power is from an Agco Power 7-cyl, 9.8-litre engine with significant updates for this application. Challenger models replaced by the 900 Vario MT-series produced maximum power at 2,100rpm, whereas the new engines achieve maximum power at just 1,700rpm, reducing noise, wear and tear and fuel consumption. “Higher revs were needed for previous models to travel 40kph, but with the Vario the same speed is achieved easily at just 1,500– 1,600rpm,” added Gergely. The main cooling fan is borrowed from 1000 Vario-series wheeled tractors and pushes air through radiator screens from the front, rather than sucking it through from behind the cooling pack. A 1.5mm gap between the fan blade ends and the housing creates a pressurised system, and hydraulic drive precisely regulates fan speed to meet demand. A reversing fan option is available for high dust environments.
CVT benefits The Vario transmission is similar to that of the 1000 Vario tractors. Infinite speed control between 20m/h and 40kph can be achieved without manually changing speed ranges. Two huge 370cm³ hydrostatic motors adjust independently, and at higher operating speeds the second hydro-motor decouples to increase efficiency. Control is fully automatic
Visibility through the curved rear screen is excellent.
to maximise efficiency. Because speed ranges are virtual, target operating speeds can be set and memorised within the Vario terminal for recall at a touch of the screen, and integrated within headland management sequences. Farmers Guide’s test drive under supervision of Fendt UK tractor product specialist Peter Henson included gentle slopes and wet, slippery ground and the TMS proved extremely efficient adjusting to variable traction conditions and operating speeds. Even with the heavy cultivator at maximum 30cm working depth the CVT transmission was smooth and made easy work of the task, and the only time the change in gear ratios was felt was when mechanical lock-up occurred, providing maximum pulling efficiency. At a comfortable 11kph operating speed the 431hp engine settled down at approximately 1,550rpm. Users familiar with the Challenger crawler will know that to maximise work rates and efficiency load requirements must be anticipated in advance and suitable ratios selected, especially when pulling away under load. The new Fendt crawler simply requires the operator to select and adjust the required speed on the joystick by pushing it forward or pulling it back, or to select one of the two cruise control memory buttons through which speeds
are achieved without any further operator intervention. Drive takeup is always gentle, although four rates of ‘aggression’ can be selected by a joystick-mounted switch, and this means the tractor is gentler on implements and should result in decreased track wear than directdrive mechanical systems. Users interviewed by Farmers Guide who have updated to the new Fendt from the previous model say greater ease of use is a significant benefit and automatic adjustment by the TMS reduces engine revs whenever possible achieving noticeable fuel savings. Although the operator is free to select engine and transmission operating parameters there is little need, as full automatic operation is suitable for most situations including road work where pulling away from junctions is easier without risk of stalling. Adjustments include engine ‘droop’. This is the amount by which engine revs are allowed to reduce as load increases rather than injecting more fuel to keep them constant. For some PTO operations such as working with pneumatic drills this would be set to minimum variation to keep shaft-driven fan speed constant, while the CVT transmission allows infinitely variable travel speed control, but otherwise most users leave the setting in ‘auto mode’ allowing the TMS system to regulate it.

Machinery Operator-friendly The Fendt 10.4-in Variotronic display monitors and adjusts all operating parameters and is used for GPS guidance. It proved easy to see even with a low sun angle and menus were quick to use and intuitive with quick jump buttons allowing sequences to be by-passed for added convenience. A criticism of many twin-track crawler auto-steer systems is a twitchy ride caused by the system’s attempts to maintain straight lines through track steering, but there was no evidence of this with the 900 Vario MT. Programming headland management sequences is straightforward and the novice test user quickly got to grips with setting it up and making changes. Visibility from the cab, which includes 6.27m2 of glass, is excellent with clear vision down to the front of the tracks. Heavy rain showers on the test day demonstrated the broad sweep of the front wiper, leaving little area obscured. The rear screen is curved, allowing the operator an unobstructed view of wider implements than the 6m Amazone Ceus provided for the test. Travelling between fields demonstrated the tractor’s impressive ride quality and the visibility. The suspension is effective, soaking up most vibration from the track cleats and comfort levels are close to a wheeled tractor. Use on roads is another situation in which advantages of the CVT have impressed early users, as controlling speed using just the foot pedal without having to select suitable gears allows full attention to other traffic.
users of both machines argue that the CVT unit is only heard because of the quieter engine, and overall noise levels are noticeably lower making it easier to spend long days in the seat.
Future developments So, with the Fendt brand synonymous with CVT transmissions and the new 900-series crawlers proving popular, how long before we see a Vario transmission offered in the larger 1100MT range? Fendt representatives won’t comment, but for a company offering only CVT systems across its other tractor series, it’s something anticipated by prospective customers and it can’t be too long before its flagship 1100MT tracked tractors have it too. ■

Verdict The new 900 Vario MT is proving popular. Sales so far have been to a mix of customers from first time crawler users to those previously using Challengers and other makes of twin-track machine. Ease of use is excellent and although there are plenty of automatic settings available to help operators of all levels of experience to achieve impressive economy and work rates; for advanced users there is also potential to make fine adjustments to tweak performance to the maximum. Comfort is impressive, the cab has plenty of space, clear controls and good visibility and there is plenty of storage for odds and ends. Noise levels are very low, but first impression is that the Vario transmission is noisier than the Challenger’s powershift. Experienced

Versatility across variable soil types is central to drill’s success Further measures to control black-grass include drilling winter wheat as late as possible to achieve as many as three spray-offs and ensuring the drilling depth does not disturb soil below seed level. Last autumn, the wheat on the lighter land wasn’t drilled until the end of October.
Key job
Hampshire farmer Mark Glover is impressed with the versatility of the Lemken Solitair 9 drill he purchased in 2013.
Like many farmers, Mark Glover is faced with a problem for which there is no easy solution: how do you manage land that varies from being very light and workable, to heavy clay without the need for a shed full of different cultivators and drills? Based in Hampshire at Blackbarn Farm, Grateley, near Andover, Mr Glover farms 345ha of loam over flinty chalk while, just a few miles down the road, he contract farms 160ha of heavy clay land and, nearby he is contracted to perform all the machinery work on a further 365ha, apart from ploughing and
fertiliser spreading. “It all makes for an interesting and what could be thought of as a challenging mix of soil types and work requirements,” he says. In terms of cropping, Mr Glover grows winter wheat, winter barley, spring barley and oilseed rape. A belief that oilseed rape may now have ‘plateaued’ as a break crop has seen him reduce the area for this crop by 40ha this year, replacing it with spring oats. “Some parts of the farm have been hit badly by flea beetle and I think we now need to look more carefully at the varieties we grow if rape is to have a future with us,” he says. Managing black-grass has led to the use of a cover crop mix of fodder radish and rye in the land destined for spring barley. This is grazed down by a flock of sheep before being sprayed off and the land drilled.
“I consider drilling to be the key job on the farm – get it wrong and you can waste a lot of time and money,” he says. “So it was essential we had a drill that could fulfil all our requirements; the ability to drill on ploughing, on tilled land and directly into stubbles, as we do for the oilseed rape and the spring barley. “The drill also needed to be able to cope with high levels of crop residues and a wide range of soil types in a wide range of conditions.” Creating a drill capable of all these requirements was a big ask and perhaps calling for the pinnacle of drill design, but Mr Glover believes the versatility of the Lemken Solitair 9 drill he purchased in 2013, makes it a strong contender for such an accolade, should there be one. A semi-mounted, 6m pneumatic drill with folding wings, the Solitair has an electronically powered metering system delivering seed to 4 distribution heads which feed it out to the 40 disc coulters. “The distribution heads are positioned just above the coulters and have feed pipes of equal length,” explains Mr Glover. “This means that when starting off, the coulters all receive seed at the same time across the full width of the drill.” On arrival at the double disc coulters, seed is placed at a depth
controlled by individual wheels, helping to ensure an accurate depth is maintained in changing soil conditions and at high operating speed.
Flexible use The ability of the Solitair 9 to place seed accurately, using modern metering systems that offer variable rate control is perhaps to be expected but, according to Mr Glover, the drill’s greatest attribute is to be able to use the drill unit either as a solo machine when, say direct drilling or on cultivated land, or use it in conjunction with various cultivation methods. “We have a set of discs we can attach to the front of the drill and, for heavier, deeper cultivation there is a rigid-tined, winged cultivator,” he says. “Both have the same simple two-pin attachment system and, usefully, both can also be used as cultivators in their own right.” Now, with about 5,060ha under its belt, and still with the same disc coulters on board, how does Mr Glover rate the Solitair 9 drill’s performance? “Overall, I would have to say the drill has worked well and reliably, and maintenance costs have been low, although we have had to fit new discs to the disc harrows this year, but that’s flinty land for you. The drill is available with operatorfriendly electronic control systems which include variable seed rate control and headland management shut-off and tramline operation. “All of which makes for high output drilling – we aim for 40ha/ day – which is good, but it has to be the drill’s versatility I find most impressive.” ■
New addition to manufacturer’s plough range German manufacturer Lemken has launched its new Diamant 16 plough in the UK. The plough features Optiline which provides an adjustment system to prevent lateral pull during ploughing. The range of applications for this plough has also been broadened to cater for larger tractors with greater pulling power. From the Diamant 11 range the traction increase system has been expanded by a feature for reducing pressure at the headlands contributing to even greater fuel savings. This allows higher system
pressures, which result in even more weight being shifted from the plough and front tractor axle to the rear tractor axle. As a result, the tractor/plough combination gains even greater pulling force. The dimensions of all main bearings have been enlarged and the on-land version has also been updated, allowing the implement to be used with tractors with external widths of up to 4m. This ensures that the wheels always maintain a sufficient distance from the furrow edges, even in difficult conditions. The Diamant 16 features hydraulic depth adjustment. The

working depth is set via the threepoint linkage at the front and via the transport wheel at the rear, either via hydraulic/mechanical equipment or optionally via a hydraulic/electrical mechanism.
The relevant shut-off valve is set to either the set or work position. This can be done manually or via a spool valve operated from the tractor seat which is proving popular with UK farmers, says Lemken. ■

Tyre manufacturer investment reflects growing demand Investment by agricultural tyre manufacturer BKT shows no sign of slowing as the company celebrated the official opening of its new European headquarters in April. David Williams was there.
as a target area, and are working with Claas to develop these for OE fitment.” Asked about additional areas of product development Dilip said that rubber tracks will be offered from 2020, including a range for industrial and construction equipment and a separate range for agriculture. “The operating characteristics are very different,” he explained, “and there will probably be just one size for high horsepower tractors initially, with tracks for harvesters and additional tractor sizes added later.”
Agricultural commitment BKT’s off-highway tyres division was formed in 1987 and its manufacturing facilities include a modern plant in Bhuj, India which is the world’s largest of its type. An impressive 10ha tyre test site aids development of the company’s own ranges allowing performance comparison with all other major brands. Part of the company’s success is its ability to develop new tyres from concept to full production quickly. Moulds are made in-house, and average time taken from initial design to sale is just six months, including rigorous testing at the plant and by potential users.
Meeting growing demand Initially BKT tyres were regarded by UK users as a low-cost solution for less demanding use but as the range evolved, and having proved a match for other premium brands, they are now offered as original equipment (OE) by most tractor and machinery manufacturers. The company’s range of agricultural tyres is massive and includes IF and VF types to match
“Our goal is to permanently strengthen the presence of the BKT brand with original equipment manufacturers in Europe, and we know how to achieve it,” said BKT Europe CEO Mrs Lucia Salmaso. Pictured at BKT’s Bhuj tyre production plant when Farmers Guide visited in 2016 are European team members; (l-r) marketing and communication manager Gabriella Usiello, Lucia Salmaso and digital marketing and social media specialist Jennifer Rauch.
the top specification of any other manufacturer, but one of the brand’s advantages is its competitive pricing achieved through efficient tyre development and cost-effective manufacturing. BKT Europe was set up 13 years ago, and the new European headquarters at Seregno, Italy provides much needed capacity to keep up with growing demand. The new offices span 500m2, including areas dedicated to technical innovation, logistics, OE management, marketing and corporate development, and will be home to the 15-member European team. A large new warehouse is at the same site and there is also a state-of-the-art visitor centre. BKT Space is claimed to be the only digital training and information facility entirely dedicated to tyres and includes VR Space - a virtual reality suite allowing customers and dealers to ‘visit’ the company’s facilities such as the production plant in Bhuj without leaving Europe. Tire World provides an interactive touch wall where visitors can find out about agricultural, industrial and earthmover tyres. BKT’s European sales success has been impressive, and now represents 50 per cent of the company’s turnover which passed $900M (£690M) globally in 2018. BKT Europe CEO Lucia Salmaso says the company’s goal is to increase its presence and market share even further in Europe. “Our goal is to permanently strengthen the presence of the BKT brand with original equipment manufacturers, and we know how to achieve it. “Our new headquarters has a key role in this regard and we will now be much stronger in every European segment; agriculture, industry, earthmoving, mining, port
handling, gardening and ATV. Now we have one of the most complete ranges on the market and increased production capacity thanks to our most recent Bhuj plant, and we are ready to grow.”
Not just tyres Talking to Farmers Guide, president and director of technology Dilip Vaidya stressed that further development of the VF tyres range to meet increased demand is the priority. “They are the future and we have no doubt that sales of VF tyres will continue to increase, and replace IF tyres completely,” he said. “Their ability to carry 40 per cent extra load at the same pressure as standard tyres means they offer advantages over IF versions which typically carry 20 per cent more. “We already have 6–8 sizes in our Agrimax V-Flecto tractor range and a large selection of VF sizes in our Spargo series for self-propelled sprayers. We offer IF tyres for cotton harvesters currently, but see VF tyre technology for combine harvesters
There is no doubt that BKT is determined to continue growing its share of the European agricultural tyre market and with its intention to develop rubber tracks too, other manufacturers will be watching closely. For UK users and machinery manufacturers, the new European headquarters demonstrates the family-owned company’s commitment to matching growing sales success with genuine back-up, both before and after purchase. ■
BKT president and director of technology Dilip Vaidya was interviewed at the event by Farmers Guide.
An event highlight was the presentation of the Tire Industry Association Hall of Fame award to company chairman and managing director Arvid Poddar. This is widely regarded as the most prestigious award for those connected with the tyre industry. Arvid (centre left) is handed the award by his son and joint managing director Rajiv Poddar, watched by the company’s senior management team.

Annual Bedfordshire open day includes new products and franchises
A very successful early April open day by Oliver Agriculture at its main Wandon End, Luton depot provided a great opportunity for customers to view all the main brands, and find out about services on offer from the long-established dealer. The original trading company AT Oliver & Sons Ltd has been in business since 1823, became one of the first UK Claas dealers in 1947, and now operates from five depots – Luton, Beds; Tingewick, Bucks; and Reading, Berks as well as new depots at Winchester, Hants and Petworth, Sussex – both to cover new southern sales areas to which it was appointed by Claas in October last year.
Quality brands Along with the full range of Claas equipment including combines, tractors, Scorpion telehandlers, Jaguar forage harvesters, square and round balers, mowers, rakes and tedders, complementary franchises include Horsch; Dal-Bo; Opico; Maschio; Strautmann; He-Va; Samson; Spreada-Bale; Grange Machinery; Richard Western; KRM; Teagle; Lynx; Samson; Tanco; Philip Watkins; Bunning; Maidwell Molers; Martin Lishman; Cherry Products; StocksAg and Techneat Engineering. The annual open days are a
popular event in the local farming calendar and always well attended. The regional Martin Lishman moisture meter grain clinic is an attraction for growers in the area offering quick and convenient testing and certification of grain moisture and temperature measuring equipment. “It’s always a pleasure to be invited to Oliver Agriculture’s Luton open day,” commented Teagle area sales manager Chris White. “Holding the grain clinic at the event is a great idea, and with the wide range of tractors and other products displayed it makes it a useful and interesting day out for farmers. “We have an excellent relationship with the dealer and enjoy spending time with the sales team and directors.” New at this year’s event for the first time was Grange Machinery with its range of cultivation and fertiliser application products for which Oliver Agriculture has recently been appointed the company’s first UK dealer.
An attraction each year is the Martin Lishman moisture meter grain clinic to which growers can bring their meters for accuracy checking and certification pre-harvest.
Opico equipment displayed included grassland maintenance products, Maschio power harrows and drills, and a Strautmann VertiMix feeder wagon. “We were delighted to support Oliver Agriculture at what has become a well organised and supported event in the local calendar,” said Opico He-Va product specialist Glenn Bootman. “As one of our longest-established dealers it is always good to see customers new and old, and to agree deals on the day for products stocked by the dealer. We very much look forward to supporting the company again at its 2020 event.” Pictured are Glenn (left) and Maschio product manager David Day.
Dal-Bo sales assistant Thomas Atkin is pictured with a PowerRoll 1230, 5-section 12.3m roll sold locally on the day.

Hire Special
Hire offers advantages for expanding business Norfolk farmer and contractor Charles Saffell, trading as HC Beales & Co, uses a mix of owned, as well short- and longterm hire tractors in his fleet.
When a long-established Norfolk family farm added an agricultural contracting service to its activities, running reliable, modern machinery was a priority. David Williams reports. Based at Crown farm, Great Ellingham HC Beales & Co is run by Charles Saffell and family. Charles is the fourth generation of his family running the business which farms approximately 800ha of its own land together with a nearby farm on a contract farming agreement. Cropping includes wheat, barley, oilseed rape, sugar beet and maize grown for a nearby anaerobic digester. Stubble to stubble contracting
for other landowners within a 25–30 mile radius of the base, along with individual contracting operations, are also offered and the company looks after maize production from drilling to harvesting for two AD plants in the county belonging to Future Biogas Ltd and Egmere Energy Ltd.
Hire solution “We started contracting approximately five years ago,”
explained Charles. “It was an attractive area of diversification as it tied in well with our own farming activities. We bought a self-propelled forage harvester and needed tractors seasonally so hiring these assisted our cash flow while the business developed.” Three John Deere tractors were hired from local main dealer Ben Burgess. “We have always had great confidence in Ben Burgess and we
had to be seen to be running reliable, efficient machinery so customers knew we wouldn’t let them down. We did shop about including considering two other brands from the local dealers, but the offer for the John Deeres was competitively priced and we knew the back-up from the dealer would be unbeatable.” Full-time machinery operators include Charles and two others, and two additional self-employed staff work nine months of the year. During the busy harvesting period additional temporary staff join the team. Charles said the John Deere tractors are popular with everyone using them and being able to swap two Starfire GPS receivers between several tractors is an advantage making precision RTK guidance available for a variety of tasks including drilling.

included a 250hp (300hp max) 6250R; a 215hp (255hp max) 6215R and a 155hp (195hp max) 6155R. During busy periods two 6215Rs and a 6155R were also hired and three tractors of other brands are also owned. “As well as allowing us to run a large, modern fleet cost effectively, advantages of hiring include not having to worry about depreciation and service costs, and if a tractor breaks down, then we know a replacement will be supplied almost immediately. “There are few disadvantages although we have to watch the number of hours worked as additional charges are made for going over what has been agreed. This means that we sometimes shuffle tractors around to avoid putting too many on a particular machine. The only other issue is tyre wear, as on long-term hire tractors’ tyre condition on return is part of the agreement, so there is either a charge made for the wear or if it’s excessive then we have to replace them. It’s not a big issue as we would have to pay for tyre wear if we owned the tractors,” he added.
Hire versus purchase Successful business growth means Charles has recently replaced the two
smaller long-term hire tractors with purchased machines, also supplied by Ben Burgess. “We are constantly gaining new customers and had seen working hours increasing as a result. Most of our tractors currently work 1,500 hours or more per year and changing to a purchase agreement means that as this figure increases it is less of a concern. We actually found the dealer extremely fair when tractors were returned with more than the agreed number of hours worked, but it’s something we wanted to avoid if possible.” The 6250R is the main draft tractor and Charles opted to keep this on long-term hire. The agreement is for 3 years with up to 1,200 hours worked annually, which allows for future business growth as currently it averages just over 1,000 hours per year. “I like the flexibility of running a mix of owned and hired machines and, for the future, it suits me to keep the larger tractor on hire and bring in additional smaller tractors on short-term hire for the busy maize and wholecrop rye harvesting season,” he commented.
Apart from the John Deere tractors, almost everything is owned. “We now run two self-propelled forage harvesters and looked at hiring these, but purchase with a service agreement was considered a better option. We own some trailers and hire others in for the maize harvest which suits us too as these are needed for only a short period each year,” he explained. “For the future, hiring a selfpropelled sprayer is something which might also offer advantages.”
Successful strategy Charles said that whether purchasing
or hiring, back-up from Ben Burgess has been exceptional. “We deal with David English at the Norwich depot and he is always very helpful, understands how we work and is keen to help us find the most effective solutions. Hiring tractors proved successful while building our contracting business and to meet seasonal requirements it remains the best option. We are keen to attract more customers to both our contract farming service and for specific field contracting operations and we know we can only do that using modern, reliable machinery.” ■
Charles Saffell first hired John Deere tractors from local dealer Ben Burgess five years ago when starting his contracting business.

Hiring makes business sense
East Anglia’s
No1 plant hirer
This Vaderstad 650 Carrier was hired by a local farmer for first cultivation after harvest last year.
Hiring agricultural machinery is one way to be able to weather uncertainty and gain access to machinery without the costs of storing and maintaining equipment. Warwick-based Ellis Machinery says. “Hire also gives the flexibility to try new systems and machinery without the up-front investment, plus when you hire from Ellis Machinery you have the option to offset the hire cost should you decide to purchase the machine.” Hiring machinery is rapidly growing in popularity as more and more farmers include it in their business plan to reduce costs and improve effectiveness, to get the most out of shrinking
farm incomes. While purchasing machinery is the best option in some situations, hiring can give the opportunity to try out a potential purchase and avoid expensive mistakes. Ellis offers a range of equipment to hire including cultivators, ploughs and drills as well as tractors and trailers. The company’s website includes an online hire calculator so that customers can generate an estimate of the cost of hiring for a particular task by selecting the type of machine required and the acreage expected for an estimate. Timings, costings and transport would then need to be confirmed with a member of the sales team. ■

Pre Harvest Prep.indd 84

Pre-Harvest Preparation
Wiltshire grower finds the key to success with stored grain Imagine having a means of knowing the relative humidity and temperature of stored grain at any given moment and the ability to control fan operation remotely by pre-setting temperature and moisture parameters. Wiltshire farmer David Lemon discovered he could do this prior to harvest 2018 when he became the first grower in the UK to install a Robydome AVC 300 smart grain monitoring and control system – operated and fine-tuned by using his mobile phone. Although feeling his way initially, he very soon found he could make serious energy savings, while at the same time boosting grain quality. David runs the 1,600ha Grafton Farm Partnership at East Grafton, in the east of the county, growing 400ha each of winter wheat, oilseed rape and spring barley – the balance being down to rye, maize or alternative crops for rotational benefit. Milling wheat goes to Ranks at Andover, while the premium spring barley is destined to satisfy the lager drinkers of Europe. “Last year, we decided to take advantage of a grant scheme that was available at the time, which aimed to improve the quality of grain in store,” he explains, “so we opted to go down the Robydome route. In a nutshell, the system basically turns the fans on and off automatically, according to demand, to the parameters that we set. “The combines start to run here when moisture gets down to 18 per cent in the wheat, with the barley at 16.5–17.0 per cent – which we then take down to 13.5 in the store. The real challenge we face is when the air in the grain store is moist, which in turn means we’re blowing damp air in

and risking payment penalties. Now, with this system, the fans come on automatically when the relative humidity in the stores hits 75 per cent.”
Cost saving In its first year of operation in the Grafton grain stores – one at the main site, with 7 smaller satellite locations – the Robydome set-up helped to save almost £2,500 on the electricity bill for drying over the months of September, October and November 2018. In addition, the incidence of penalties imposed by customers was significantly reduced. “It’s a very easy system to set up,” David reports, “and provides a very clear, real-time picture of what’s happening in the various stores. It has performed exceptionally well in its first year and has meant that our grain store personnel are not having to come out at all hours to check what’s going in the stores and constantly having to change settings. With the Robydome, all this is now achieved using a mobile phone. “Some of our stores are quite remote, but they still needed to be physically monitored by staff, sometimes every hour or two. Now, with this system, it’s so easy. Already, I’ve got a lot of faith in it, so why go for anything more complicated?” A single control facility has the capacity to manage up to 8 store sites, with up to 32 remote sensors at each location. Measuring ambient humidity and air temperature, it automatically regulates if or when the fan input is required. This means that
the crop is constantly conditioned to an optimum storage level. David Lemon makes the point that it’s easy to think that the grain needs more conditioning than it really does, adding that the system is equally effective in both ground bins and towers. “Another consideration,” he adds, “is that by speeding the throughput of grain through the stores, it prevents any backlogs building up. This, in turn, means that the combines can keep working.”
Installed The Robydome system was supplied and installed by BK Grain Handling Engineers at Froxfield, near Marlborough; a company David has dealt with for more than 20 years. He’s in good company, too – BK holds a Royal Warrant, in recognition of its work involving the installation of grain storage facilities on the Windsor estate. David contacted BK Grain, which has many years’ experience in the provision of grain drying and storage solutions, together with turnkey projects throughout the UK. The company recommended Robydome, which was duly installed across the Grafton storage sites, and assisted in the development of the new set-up. The company’s Simon Bird explains how the self-contained The Robydome WTM-1 smart grain store monitoring and control point enables complete remote management of temperature and ventilation within crop stores.
WTM-1 smart box works: “Located in the grain store, it’s linked to wireless temperature probes and the store’s ventilation system. All the information vital to the management of store conditions is available immediately – and in real-time, with a straightforward web-browser page to check and implement changes.” An additional benefit the Robydome brings is that a single control point is able to manage up to 8 grain stores, each with up to 32 temperature sensors, while the way it’s designed means that the challenges which might be imposed by dust and humidity when employing a static computer point in the store are eliminated. In multi-site situations, the system can be fully integrated to operate from the farm office, or any other location. Significantly, all the historical records from each individual grain store location are held on the farm’s own box as opposed to a remote server. The timeline of grain in store has always been difficult to manage, so one of the principal targets in the development of this system was that it should have the ability to monitor progress as grain temperatures cool at individual points across the storage facilities. This means that any hotspots are quickly identified and action taken automatically. Another valuable feature is the automatic sending of an email alert if any danger levels are reached. ■

Pre-Harvest Preparation
‘Super-localised’ weather data boosts farm’s operations A Cambridgeshire grower has invested in wireless weather station technology to help him improve farm efficiency by precisely monitoring weather conditions at field-level, to aid operational decision-making and measure weather impact on crop performance. James Robinson of Measures Farms, near Hemington, Cambridgeshire purchased two weather stations from Sencrop, a European digital start-up business with a new base in Cambridge, to use on his home farm and on an outlying farm, 20 miles away near Pickworth, Rutland. Across the two sites James farms over 1,600ha with a mix of combinable crops, including wheat, barley, oilseed rape and winter beans. James didn’t have a weather station prior to installing the Sencrop system in December 2018, and just recorded rainfall in a manual rain gauge at each site. This was not very efficient and didn’t provide any information on other weather conditions such as wind or temperature. “After we acquired the Pickworth site two years ago it made sense to have more reliable information about weather conditions, without having to drive 20 miles to collect it,” says James.
Weather info The two Sencrop wireless weather stations record wind, temperature, humidity and rainfall. The information from each station is transmitted digitally, in real time, to a user-friendly dashboard accessible on James’ desktop or through the Sencrop app on his mobile phone. Not only can he see the live weather data from his two stations at any time day or night, he can also see weather history (from the stations), alerts, trends and seven-day forecasts to help him plan ahead. “Having live weather data is really helping to inform our management decisions on farm,” says James. “Knowing what the weather is doing at the two sites, and likely to do in the near future, helps us plan operations such as spraying and fertiliser application, where wind speed and rainfall are critical. The system is pinpoint accurate – no need to rely on a forecast from several miles away – this gives me live information from the field where the station is installed. “Day-to-day it’s improved our operations. For example, the weather can be quite different 20 miles away, and if its calm in Hemington, it could be fairly windy at Pickworth. Knowing that its too windy to spray
at Pickworth prevents an unnecessary trip, saving time and fuel. “Reviewing the rainfall at each site also helps assess whether certain operations can be carried out, for example if ground conditions are too wet you can’t use heavy machinery like tractors and sprayers. With different soil types at each site, we can make a decision as to whether it’s worth making the trip or not. In the future it may help us make decisions on seed drilling operations too. “Having super-localised weather data is really helpful and I’d consider putting in another station within eight miles of the main site. We’re on fairly high land at Hemington and we have some land around 40m lower, where the soil temperature and weather conditions can vary considerably. It would be interesting to have another base station there to help us monitor what’s going on.” An optional feature on Sencrop stations that James currently isn’t using is the collection of soil moisture and soil temperature data. He says, “This data would be useful for timing the application of soil-acting herbicides in the autumn, where you need the soil to be a certain temperature and moisture level for them to work. At the moment I rely on the product manufacturer’s website – they monitor soil temperatures and give an indication when conditions are suitable – but I’d consider upgrading my Sencrop system in the future if I needed greater accuracy.”
Harvest time Harvest time is notoriously sensitive to the British summer weather and this year James is looking forward to knowing where rain is falling during the day and over the week, to help him manage his harvest operations and cultivations. But its not just live weather data that’s useful. James says. “At the end of harvest when you’re looking at your yield data it’s really useful to review the weather data through the year too. We can look at when significant rainfall events occurred, how much sunshine we had, and what the temperatures were like at certain times of the year, to see how they affected yield.” As well as monitoring live

conditions and providing weather history, the real power of the Sencrop system comes through the collaboration of neighbouring farmers sharing their weather data. By connecting their Sencrop weather stations in a local network this enables farmers to benefit from a much wider pool of weather event data, such as rainfall, to help them further improve their operational efficiency. Sencrop’s aim is to create real value from the extensive data collected by its stations that will benefit the whole agricultural community. Farmers, agronomists, contractors, research organisations, insurers and industry suppliers could in the future have access to more effective, faster and automated distribution of services and advice, tailored to specific, individual needs.
Network growing Sencrop has operated in Europe since 2016 and has over 5,000 farmers and growers using the network to aid their decision-making and manage their operations. The company entered the UK in November 2018 and set up its base in Cambridge. To date, over 100 stations have been installed in the UK and the network is growing fast,
as more famers like James see the benefits of weather data collection and sharing. James is keen to benefit from this shared pool of data once there are some local farmers using the system. “On a day-to-day basis it would be helpful to see what rainfall patterns are occurring locally. Sometimes during the year showers can be very localised and it is really useful to know where rainfall is occurring close to you. We often make decisions during the day in response to changing conditions, so being able to see live data on rainfall and wind direction an hour away from the site helps you assess whether or not you’re likely to get that rain.” Sencrop is helping its customers in the UK benefit from the system through a WhatsApp group. Farmers can ask questions of other users, get insights and tips, and quickly get help from Sencrop if something goes wrong. “I think it’s great; farmers can be accused of being very insular and not wanting to share information, so things like the shared weather data via Sencrop is opening farmers up to sharing more, and the WhatsApp group has been helpful too,” says ■ James.

Pre-Harvest Preparation
An integrated solution to protect stored grain Lodi UK, has launched an integrated pest and disinfection solution which protects stored grain by controlling insects, moulds, spores, mycotoxins and bacteria. This dual approach features two smoke-type products, both of which are highly effective, economical and can be used either individually or together to save time. Phobi OPP, a brand new, unique fungicidal, bacterial and virucidal disinfectant smoke, is very effective, easy to use and should form an integral part of a pre-harvest disinfection and pest control program for grain stores, says the company. The product contains orthophenylphenol, an antifungal agent and preservative found in lemons, which provides a proven minimum 99.9 per cent control of fungus and moulds including aflatoxins, the most harmful type of mycotoxin. Each Phobi OPP generator produces up to 250g of dry, non-corrosive smoke, which will treat up to 450m3 and reaches all areas of the grain store, including the cracks and crevices which otherwise harbour spores and pests. Moulds growing in grain stores
and on grain are one of the great concerns for farmers and store operators because they can produce highly-poisonous food-borne mycotoxins whose effects are acute, explains Lodi UK. Some mycotoxins cause severe illness soon after consumption of contaminated food products, while others have major adverse effects on long-term health. Exposure to mould spores causes more farmers and farm workers to become ill than almost any other risk in agriculture, so preventing mould growth in stored grain bulks is the single most effective way to manage this important human health issue. Phobi Smoke Pro 90C utilises a highly active pyrethroid insecticide with proven knock-down activity to provide excellent, long-lasting protection against a range of key stored grain pests found in the UK. For professional use in empty grain stores, the Phobi Smoke Pro 90C generator produces 93g of smoke which contains 6.975 per cent cypermethrin and penetrates normally inaccessible areas where pests can otherwise easily hide. Each generator will treat a 525m3 space

and is approved for use against red-dust flour beetles, saw-toothed grain beetles, Indian meal moths, grain mites and grain weevils. Preventing insects and mould growth in stored grain is also vital in managing grain quality and financial returns. Lodi UK estimates that following best practice could save farmers £20-£30/t in terms of helping to prevent grain consignments failing to meet contract specifications. The company’s managing director, Roger Simpson states: “While good store management and correct cleaning can help prevent grain pests and moulds these methods can only go so far.
Farmers and store operators must therefore have effective additional control measures in place to prevent, eliminate or reduce hazards to an acceptable level.” ■

Direct drill conversion coulters Minimal disruption is the key to direct drilling, advises wearing parts manufacturers JJ Metcalfe & Son. Roots and a healthy worm population will take care of aerating and draining the soil, and nutrients will come from the use of cover crops and crop rotation. This no till approach also helps prevent black grass establishment by leaving dormant seeds buried well below the surface, unable to germinate, it says. With the above in mind, the company has designed its range of tungsten carbide tipped, low disturbance direct drill coulters. Designed to fit Seedhawk drills or innovatively convert Horsch CO and Sprinter series, Simba freeflow and now the Amazone Cayena drills into direct drills the J.J.

and posing minimal threat to the worm population. The blade cuts a slot to place the seed directly beneath the residues of the previous crop, leaving no surface disturbance, says the company. Priced at £78 per unit, the company says it is providing an affordable step into direct drilling and maintaining soil health, which should in turn increase crop yield. ■

Fumigation and pest control services for grain storage with follow-up advice The bulk storage of grain can provide ideal breeding conditions for pests. An infestation is often hard to detect in the early stages, with very low concentrations of insects. Even a single insect in every kilogram of wheat will mean that a lorry load of grain can still introduce tens of thousands of pests into a storage facility. Grain fumigation can provide the answer at an early point in the cycle, eliminating even very low initial levels of pest infestation. Pest Fumigation uses phosphine gas, generated from aluminium phosphide or magnesium phosphide, which allows the safe fumigation of foods, without harmful residues.

Pre-Harvest Preparation Does your bowser meet industry standards?
The next generation of ag-weather stations
Old and new: Bowsers made before May 2004 may no longer be legally used for transport of diesel on the highway after 9th May 2019.
The end is in sight for old diesel bowsers with a 15 year transition period ending on 9th May. This means that bowsers manufactured prior to May 2004 are no longer treated as intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) for the transport of dangerous goods (including diesel and gas oil) on the highway, explains fuel storage equipment specialist Fuel Proof. This transitional period was originally put in place to allow the industry time to adapt to new Accord Dangereux Routier (ADR) regulations, essentially governing

the transport of dangerous goods by road. The key point to note is that the old bowsers were previously considered as IBCs (provided they met certain basic requirements), but from 10th May this will no longer be the case, meaning these bowsers can no longer be used to transport fuel on the highway and need to be replaced with ADR compliant IBCs. For a limited period Fuel Proof will be offering a scrappage scheme for non-compliant bowsers. ■

Pre-Harvest Preparation Mechanising a simple task can save hours
New direction for combine development
The Broomex C-Broom from Wessex International.
Finding a mechanical alternative to hand-sweeping can save hours of time at busy harvest time. Wessex International, manufacturer of the Broomex C-Broom says that with its system, one man can do the work of five hand-sweeping for an hour. The Broomex ‘push broom with a twist’ incorporates all the benefits of the Broomex push broom while providing a bulk volume mover for shifting large quantities of grain in a grain store. The C-Broom is a heavyduty push broom with patented side retainers that hold bulk volumes of material in front of the brush, while avoiding spillage at the sides. The simple design can save time in a few different ways, says Wessex. First the brush is quickly and easily
mounted to the vehicle. Secondly the avoidance of spillage means there’s no need to go over swept areas to clear spill lines. Equally important in the careful twisting of the end brushes is the fact they pull material away from a wall or kerb to keep it in the main path of the broom. Add in the fact that there are no motors, belts or chains involved and no flying debris and the C-Broom is a time-saver that’s also maintenance free. When not being used for sweeping grain the Broomex can be used for moving slurry and other bulky materials. The Broomex C-Broom comes in 1.5, 1.8 and 2.4m widths with a whole range of applications for farming, landscaping, warehouse and distribution sites and snow clearance.
The Massey Ferguson Ideal combine line-up offers the biggest integral grain-tank capacity now available on the European market, the fastest unloading rate and the largest threshing area, according to the manufacturer. It is the biggest new harvesting product development project Agco has undertaken. Everything about the machine is new from design and engineering to brand new features and styling. The range features three brand new combine models with single and dual rotary threshing systems – the 451hp MF IDEAL 7, 538hp MF IDEAL 8 and 647hp MF IDEAL 9 – plus ParaLevel versions. Other features include fuel-efficient engines, 140 and 210-litres/sec unloading rates. The range also
boasts narrow transport width with even the largest MF IDEAL 9 using 800mm tyres or 660mm inhouse-designed tracks, expanding the potential for width-regulated farmers. The new super-comfortable and quiet ‘Vision’ cab has panoramic visibility while the MF PowerFlow table offers widths up to 12.2m providing superb crop collection, says the manufacturer. The business benefits made possible by the new MF Ideal combines include improved fuel efficiency, grain quality, residue management, soil compaction, ease-of-use, quick operation and dealer back-up.

Sprout suppressant gaining ground in UK market Sprout suppressant Biox-M has been approved for use in the UK for nearly a decade, and has been used on a wide range of British potato varieties with success. Biox-M is well understood and in widespread use with over 10 per cent market share which is increasing, says manufacturer Juno. With increased challenges to CIPC, the share of the market taken by Biox-M is expected to increase at least threefold in the next two years. Biox-M: • 100 per cent naturally occurring spearmint oil, extracted from leaves of spearmint (mentha spicata) by on-farm steam distillation, followed by
separation and blending to ensure an even (and minimum 70 per cent) distribution of the active L-Carvone. Suppresses sprouting in potatoes by causing local necrosis of the bud meri-stem with no visible damage to the skin of the tuber. Is approved for use on organic potato crops and in multi-use stores. Is widely used on crops grown for the fresh market, with longevity of control well in excess of normal commercial requirements. Can be used on processing crops stored at up to 10ºC, allowing store managers to address concerns about the development of acrylamide.

evaporative process, which maintains a saturated atmosphere more effectively than sequential fogging operations. Leaves no residue in buildings or boxes. ■
Remote control for stores A large 4,000t plus potato box store is in construction for a fenland potato grower by Bennett & Co. Divided into four storage areas the potatoes will be cooled with four Farm Electronics-packaged units. Due to the need to reduce the noise output, the evaporator and condenser fans are slow running and the air inlet cowls and distribution ducts are lined with noise insulating material. Each storage area will be controlled and monitored by the new Cropscan 12in touch screen controller which is linked to broadband so the store manager can view and control the store environment remotely either

Bennett & Co's Mike Bennett says that the company is increasingly being asked to provide remote means to monitor and control crop stores of all types, in many cases being able to upgrade existing storage and drying facilities to do so. The company is working with AC Bacon Engineering which
is supplying and erecting the building on this project. Bennett & Co and Bacon were recently RIDBA
building award finalists for a grain store completed during the 2018 harvest for Buckminster Farms. ■

40 year celebration for engineering firm Suffolk based Bye Engineering is celebrating its 40th anniversary this month. The business was started on 1st May, 1979 by Trevor Bye and his wife Margaret following the completion of Trevor’s five-year apprenticeship with Melton Engineering (now Thurlow Nunn Standen) and a spell working in the workshop at Blomvyle Hall, Hatcheston. In the early days it was just Trevor and his J4 van. Margaret acted as secretary and assistant, manning the telephone line and often being sent to collect spares. During the first few years most of the workload was carried out on farms and occasionally in a field as the business had no permanent base or workshop. The main body of work was repairs to all types of agricultural machinery but it was during the course of carrying out some work for Mr T Gibson that Trevor’s first foray into fabrication work began with a carrot topper rolling off the production line. In 1984 Bye Engineering built and
moved into its permanent premises in Brick Kiln Lane, Melton, from where it still trades today. “Having our own workshops meant more of our work could now be carried out in-house,” says Trevor. “As the work load increased we took on our first employees, including our son James, our fabrication manager, to cover the wide range of tasks we carry out. At present we employ seven permanent staff, including our daughter Faye who works in administration and accounts. “James has now diversified his fabrication and manufacturing skills and produces container modules for offices, schools and galleries for London and local clients in his new premises at the Bye Engineering site.” Following success with the manufacture of its BE 4WD Power Dolly, Bye Engineering has gone on to design and produce the Hydrostatic Power Dolly, BE410 Potato Crusher, BE1700 Bedmixer, Triple Bedmixer, Re-ridger, Trojan Band Sprayer and Wonder Wheel. “Our machines are proving to

be a great success and, with the assistance of Richard Lapage, our sales co-ordinator, are being sold country wide. We continue to develop oneoff machines, modify existing machines and carry out all types of mechanical, electrical and welding and fabrication repair work. “It seems a long while ago that ‘one man and his J4 van’ started out being his own boss and it has not always been an easy task but it has been, mainly, a rewarding and successful way of life,” says Trevor. “We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our customers and suppliers, past and present, for their continued support,
and also a big thank you to all our staff and Richard for all their hard work!” ■

Potatoes First mounted 3-row belt planter unveiled
An efficient and reliable weigher can be a sound investment for potato growers.
How much money are you wasting? Potato growers can be losing money from their business with bag over weights, Pace Mechanical has warned. The company advises farmers to check their average over weights to identify how much money they are losing this way. Multi head weighers with new and state-of-the-art controls and software can stop the 'silent money leak', without making compromises to speed, it says. Designed with belt in-feed drive and with 10 scales the Pace weighers have a capacity of 22.5t/ hr with a minimum overweight per discharge. The 16/2 (two rows of eight scales small footprint) consumer
pack weigher has a capacity of 25t/hr with 5kg weights, with a minimum of overweight per discharge. Even this machine can be combined with export packing machines as it is also able to dump 25kg weights in one dump. Meanwhile its 16/2 (two rows of eight scales small footprint) export pack weigher offers a capacity of 50t/hr with a minimum overweight per discharge. This makes the PIM combination weighers the perfect choice for small, large and combined weights, small and large products, regardless if you work with washed or unwashed potatoes, says Pace Mechanical. ■
The Structural 30 mounted planter.
Potato and root crop cultivation machinery manufacturer Dewulf, has launched the mounted variant of the Structural potato planter – the world’s first mounted 3-row belt planter, it claims. Available in the UK from importer Niagri Engineering, this version of the planter benefits from the ease-of-use that the Structural 30 is known for, but with new, exceptionally precise depth control, says the company. The mounted Structural 30, which plants three rows in a bed as standard, has automatic depth control via an ultrasonic sensor, which is not susceptible to track
formation and is infinitely adjustable via a control terminal in the tractor cab. This guarantees depth control with precision, so the seed potatoes have optimal growth. The mounted variant is also exceptionally manoeuvrable, making it ideal for planting fields with smaller headlands. The planter also features the ‘Wave Belt’ concept, which is unique to the Structural 30. This undulating belt bed makes planting on hilly terrain simpler for the operator. According to Dewulf the planter also has a high operational speed of up to 12kph. ■

Good feedback from cultivator purchase A Dutch made cultivator has received excellent feedback from growers since its UK launch last Spring. The Baselier planter and hook tine combination is a four-row machine with a large hopper at the front with the cultivator mounted directly underneath and the cup planting elements at the back, in order to cut out a pass. Sales and marketing director for Standen Engineering Edward Gilbert said: “Efficiency and time saving features on this machine include the innovative cup design, enabling it to cope with seed potatoes of up to 95mm in size without having to change inserts for different seed sizes. Plus it has individual row switch off and seed miss monitoring to detect any gaps in planting.” Shrubhill Farms invested in the new machine after a successful demonstration, having previously run a Baselier 3-bed folding hook tine cultivator and separate Standen 6-row trailed planter on John Deere 350hp and John Deere 220hp tractors. Tom Fisher, arable and estate manager said: “I had planned to run
the combination machine for 24 hours, to account for the fact that we were moving from 6 rows down to 4 and didn’t fully know of the output, but it hasn’t been necessary, due to the high output produced. “We are on fen land, but we’re achieving forward speeds of up to 5.5kph. "We’re using less fuel, tractor hours and labour resulting in savings of around £100/ha. I could not be more pleased with my new purchase.” Tom Fisher from Shrubhill Farms with its Baselier combination. The Baselier planter and cultivator combination.

New grading line sows seeds for a productive future When planning to upgrade its potato grading line, Norfolk-based contract farmer and potato grower B&C Farming decided to look for a custombuilt facility with all the company’s current and future requirements in mind. The company’s current grading line was nearly 30 years old and managing director Tony Bambridge knew that advances in equipment automation and efficiency offered some significant savings in labour and costs so he approached Tong Engineering for the project. B&C Farming, based in Marsham, works with Greenvale AP and McCain to supply seed potatoes direct to growers. Operating a ‘just in time’ delivery system using the company's own lorries, seed is supplied at planting. A new grading facility would ensure they can continue to produce more, higher-quality seed potatoes in line with ongoing contract demands. “Specifying a new grading line is a very individual process,” explains Tony. “It takes time to determine all the processes you want to achieve from the facility, while understanding all the advanced handling capabilities on
offer with the latest equipment on the market.” With a reduction in labour costs a key objective, a Tong side-eject box tipper feeds crop onto the new line. Potatoes are lifted into the boxes at harvest before being graded in January and February. “It’s a fine line between keeping the forklift drivers busy, and them being too rushed; risking accidents or causing the line to stop and wait for crop,” says Tony. “The side-eject box tipper not only reduces forklift movement, allowing us to cut the number of forklifts required for grading, but it also ensures a continuous flow of crop onto the grading line.” Labour requirements at the crop cleaning and grading section of the line have also been taken into consideration. “Taking care of the complete grading system from start to finish, Tong integrated the Tomra FPS optical sorter into the line for automatic detection of stones and clod in the unwashed crop. With this removal of debris now being performed automatically, inspection staff can focus on grading for quality of the potatoes. Size-grading is taken

care of by Tong’s EasyGrade screen grading modules,” says Tony. “What’s more, inspection staff are now in a fully-insulated, heated and soundproofed cabin, allowing for much more pleasant inspection conditions.” The new grading line at B&C Farming also features Tong’s box filler the Midi EasyFill, which gently transfers graded and sorted crop back into boxes for storage. In addition, a series of Tong vertical lowerator box fillers are used for high capacity yet gentle box filling. “When crop comes out of store
and is ready for delivery to customers in March, Tong’s UniFill big bag filler tips the crop onto a second line where it passes through final inspection and is gently filled into 1.00 or 1.25t bags,” says Tony. “We’ve almost doubled the throughput of our grading facility while cutting out a forklift operator, and we’re maintaining, if not improving, quality. We are very pleased with the new system," he adds. ■

Potatoes Award-winning customer service On-going Brexit uncertainties present challenges to many industries, and few more so than agriculture, where the possibility of a major shortage of fruit and vegetable pickers could have a huge impact. But Wisbech-based agricultural machinery company Agrimech may have the automated answer to many a farmer’s prayers with its Titan palletising system. Launched in 2017, the Titan is the first UK-produced mass-market palletising system, manufactured, supplied and supported by Agrimech, and offers many features which make it the market leader.
Favouring a bag-forming gripper head over the usual finger-style, which reduces the chances of bag damage, the stainless steel Titan has an easy-to-use touchscreen system. It can stack to a height of over 2m and has a capacity of 15tph. Agrimech’s in-house team of support engineers means clients can count on award-winning customer service, and the Titan helps Agrimech to supply a complete end-of-line automated bagging process. Combined with the Hydra, the first British-made multi-headed weighing system, launched at the start of the year to coincide with Agrimech’s 10th birthday, the Titan demonstrates just why Agrimech has won so many admirers and built such a strong reputation among customers and fellow agriculture industry professionals alike. ■ Titan is the first UKproduced mass-market palletising system.

Total irrigation control connected in real time.
Total irrigation control Over the past 20 years the ‘Wroot Water System’ has led the field with drip and sprinkler irrigation, says the Yorkshire-based business. The company has made the system modular to fit any size field and adapted it to suit various crops. Wroot Water has taken the valve control and infield monitoring to a new level using a combination of different communication technologies, suggests the firm. “We can now programme the valves remotely, monitor water flow, soil moisture and air temperature all from the office,” says Wroot Water managing director, Anthony Hopkins. “We are also able to view this data on a smart phone or tablet which makes the Canopee irrigation control system very versatile and user friendly,” he adds.
The software and apps are free so there is no on-going cost, continues Mr Hopkins. “The Canopee is easy to use, easy to monitor and informs you of potential problems before you visit the field. This is a new irrigation control system that can be retrofitted to existing Wroot Water systems as well as other makes of irrigation systems that are available.” The new control system has the flexibility to operate without mains power or wires. It is a standalone set up that improves precision irrigation allowing the amount of water for each valve to vary according to soil type and crop growth stage. “With water becoming scarcer, we need to look at how to irrigate more efficiently, so if you can avoid run-off and irrigate to match the infiltration rate of the soil you are half way there,” concludes Mr Hopkins. ■
Half a century of self-propelled technology Grimme is celebrating 50 years of self-propelled technology this year. In 1969, Franz Grimme senior came up with the idea of developing the first self-propelled harvester. He combined the front part of a Deutz tractor with a single-row potato harvester from the Europa-Standard series. Following a positive response from growers, a second self-propelled machine – the DS Series soon followed. This was the first two-row self-propelled potato harvester to be completely developed by Grimme. The DS 100 had a 3.5t bunker with a 100hp Deutz engine. In 2017, Grimme presented its

Technical event returns to Dumfries
ScotGrass is set to return to Crichton Royal Farm at Dumfries on Wednesday 15th May 2019, and gives livestock farmers and grassland contractors the opportunity to see the latest grass conservation methods and machinery in action in field scale plots on a commercial dairy farm says organiser the AEA. Visitors will have the opportunity to see the latest grass harvesting machinery put through its paces in field scale plots. They will also have the chance to talk to industry experts on technical subjects affecting the livestock industry and those supplying products and services into the livestock sector. Event organiser, Kayleigh Holden explained: ‘The AEA is extremely
pleased to be back at Crichton Royal Farm which was also used for the 2016 event. The site in Dumfries offers excellent facilities for manufacturers to showcase their machinery to potential customers and visitors alike and we would like to thank SRUC for hosting the 2019 event.” This year’s Knowledge Trail includes stations focusing on soil structure, maximising yield with fresh grass, controlled traffic farming and grass varieties. ‘Soil structure for grass’ examines how to diagnose problems with your soils and drainage and what you can do to improve them. ‘Cut and carry’ is a focus on maximising yield with fresh grass. Permanently housed cows when fed freshly cut grass consume more feed and produce more milk. This AHDB Dairy supported station looks at the work conducted on the farm to make the most of this technique. ‘Controlled traffic farming in grassland’ will look at work done on the farm to manage where machines go on the field, not just when conserving forage but throughout the farming year.
‘Grass varieties’ – Having the know how with new grass and forage varieties to make the most of a growing crop, whether grazed or conserved, is the focus of this station. ■

New galvanised chassis provides superior protection All new Strautmann forage wagons are now fitted with a galvanised chassis, new rear door load sensors and improved Isobus connectors to improve the longevity and reliability of machines. The new, upgraded model can be seen on the Opico stand at ScotGrass. Commenting, Opico Strautmann sales specialist James Swan, said: “Forage wagons are exposed to significant corrosion risk and the
new galvanised chassis will provide superior protection, while also making the machines more resistant to mud and adverse weather, especially if stored outside. “The new package of improvements aims to make the forage wagons tougher and more reliable, while further increasing their life and functionality.” New rear door sensors are more robust and, combined with
improved Isobus connectors to prevent the ingress of water and dirt, the wagons will be more resilient and capable of providing trouble-free operation to their optimal working capacity. The improvements can be seen on the Strautmann Giga Vitesse which will be on display on the Opico stand at ScotGrass, Wednesday 15th May, SRUC Crichton Royal Farm.

New baler and mower on display The latest addition to the Claas Rollant fixed chamber round baler range and the new Disco Move front mower will be revealed at ScotGrass. The redesigned baling chamber on the Rollant 540 has 15 rollers and makes bales with a diameter of 1.22m and width of 1.25m. The serrated profile of the rollers maintains optimum bale rotation even under moist conditions. The rollers are fitted with specially hardened 50mm stub shafts, which are bolted to the roller body and can be individually replaced if necessary. The rollers which have the most load are fitted with new double race bearings for a longer service life. Options include the MPS II system, where three of the chamber rollers pivot into the chamber for additional bale compression, early bale rotation, and a perfectly uniform bale shape. The baling rollers are driven from the left side of the machine and each roller has direct drive, resulting in uniform force distribution to the rollers with a lower power requirement. The rotor and main drive have 1.25in drive chains, and
the tailgate rollers are driven by a 1in chain. Both film or net can be used with the Rollant 540 and a ramp on the right side of the machine simplifies the task of loading the wrapping system. For operating the baler, there is a choice between the Claas Communicator, the Operator terminal or a tractor Isobus terminal. Also on display will be the new Disco Move front mower, which incorporates a new design that allows the mower to move over a range of 1,000mm independent of the tractor linkage, so ensuring optimum contour following in the most uneven of fields. The Disco 3200 Move has a working width of 3m and is available with or without a tined conditioner. The Disco Move mower incorporates a completely new design of headstock giving up to 600mm of upward travel and 400mm downward for improved contour following. The mower unit is also able to pivot laterally from the central pivot point, which is set at a 30-degree angle. As a result, the mowing unit can swing backwards

at a slight diagonal angle to avoid obstacles. The mower bed is able to respond very quickly to finer ground contours thanks to the tried and proven lower pivot point from the current Profil range. The new
headstock combined with the low pivot point assures excellent contour following, especially for larger tractors and at higher speeds. â–

Debut for new triple mower combination The Novacat A10 Crossflow combination mower system can be seen working at ScotGrass.
The new Novacat A10 Crossflow combination mower system will be making its working debut at this year’s ScotGrass event. This large triple mower combination can offer cutting widths of up to 10m when used in conjunction with a front mower.
Utilising the Pottinger cutterbar, the crop is mown and fed directly into the mechanically driven augers at the rear of the cutterbars. The large diameter robust augers deliver the crop to the centre of the tractor with minimal damage and a low power
requirement. If the desire is to spread the crop for wilting, this can be achieved simply by opening the rear auger hood, allowing crop to be deposited directly to the ground. Full hydraulic adjustment of the working width is possible, operated
manually by the driver or for Isobus equipped compatible tractors this can also be linked to the steering angle sensor, offering automatic adaption to the tractor as it turns. For a closer look visit the Pottinger demonstration plot at the ScotGrass event. ■

Slurry tanker demonstrations
The Zunhammer Van-Control 2.0 system is a direct measuring system for slurry analysis which can determine the required rates for the desired nitrogen application rate.
The Zunhammer tanker with Glide-fix trailing shoe.
Low weight, low centre of gravity and high degree of stability are some of the features of the Zunhammer SKE series, imported by Agrifac and being demonstrated across the UK this spring. The SKE is equipped with the Eco system which has slurry lines running through the frame
so that the slurry can flow more efficiently. At the same time, the large cross-section of the frame provides a lower counterpressure than standard pressure lines. This saves energy on the drive side and reduces wear on the pump. In their basic configuration Zunhammer tankers consist of a
tank, chassis, frame and rotary lobe pump along with slurry agitation. The heart-shaped tank combined with the agitation pattern, prevents solids from being deposited in the tank. Unlike vacuum tanks, Zunhammer tankers do not rely on a vacuum or pressure within the tank to fill or empty. The Zunhammer 19.5m3 tanker is also fitted with the Glide-fix trailing shoe to provide optimal spreading quality to the crop. Available in widths of 12, 15 and 18m, the large operating width ensures high hourly output, providing throughput of up to 12,000-litres/min.
As well as the Glide-fix, Zunhammer has introduced VanControl 2.0; a direct measuring system for slurry analysis that makes it possible to analyse cattle and swine slurry or liquid digestate during filling of the tanker. The system allows the use of these natural fertilisers with almost the same precision as artificial fertilisers. The nutrient analysis allows the user to set the desired nitrogen application rate and leave the tanker to determine the required m3/ha. Variable rate application is also possible by linking the Van-Control system to soil maps. Optimal metering based on the quantity of nutrients to be spread also saves substantially on fertiliser costs, says the company. ■

A cut above
A TAFE 45DI OIB (47hp) tractor with yard scraper.
The ideal yard scraper tractor could be a TAFE, according to Dorset based Tractors UK, which is the sole UK importer of these Indian-built tractors. A number of customers have as many as five of these tractors spread throughout their dairy farms, the company says. In addition, some of these tractors do in excess of 4,000 trouble-free hours of yard scraping per year, making them one of the lowest running-cost tractors on the market, the company reports. Tractors UK distributes throughout the country, and support is offered directly or via a network of dealers.
The tractors come with a twoyear parts and labour warranty and Tractors UK reports that it stocks a comprehensive range of spare parts. Moreover, Tractors UK claims that as it is similar to the Coventry-built Massey Fergusons, most of the spare parts are interchangeable between the two brands, which improves the spares back up. These versatile little TAFE tractors are ideal for general farm maintenance and particularly useful when manoeuvring in tight spaces. They are also suitable for operating toppers, post drivers or other machinery to the rear of these reliable tractors for help around the farm, points out Tractors UK. ■
Flexible grassland improvement Animal production and output is directly related to the maintenance of grass quality and yield. Over time grass production reduces principally due to invasive weeds which rapidly colonise the bare areas of fields. Overseeding has become an important method of maintaining grass yields and animal productivity. The Grass 300 from Bullock Tillage is a multi-purpose harrow which deals with the challenges of improving grassland condition. At the front there is a full-width hydraulically-adjustable levelling board which is capable of levelling mole hills and organic manures. Behind the levelling board there are three rows of adjustable tines, the first two rows are 12mm heavy duty cranked tines for pulling out weeds and matting. The third row are lighter duty 8mm tines for levelling and seed coverage. At the rear there is a full-width hydraulically-adjustable prismatic packer for depth control which
ensures good seed-to-soil contact and a level surface. The Grass 300 can handle all operations required for grassland management and offers further flexibility when used in combination with an airseeder. ■

High specification simple model promises excellent value The Modulo Advantage.
High prices and complexity of fertiliser spreading equipment prompted the development of Joskin’s new model, the Modulo Advantage. The Advantage is suited to small farming businesses and tractors of approximately +/-110hp, says
the manufacturer. It includes a slurry tanker with a capacity of 11,000 litres on which a 7.5m Pendislide Basic boom is fitted. This boom is part of the latest developments from the brand and aims to combine high-tech performances with ease of use.
To that end, the spreading boom is fitted with control automation and a Scalper macerator. It is also fitted with wear-resistant Ertalon skids applying continuous ground pressure by means of a system of leaf springs. By moving apart the vegetation, these skids ensure
precise distribution of the nutrients close to the roots without dirtying the leaves or fodder. The single axle is fitted with Alliance 800/65R32 tyres for a load capacity of 9,900kg per wheel at 40kph. If necessary, the vehicle can be fitted with an optional front filling arm on a Jumbo cone. In order to keep prices down the Modulo Advantage will be built on a dedicated assembly line and will be produced in identical series, the first of which are expected in July 2019. Producing a large quantity of this model ensures economies of scale with the raw materials, a more profitable distribution of the workforce and a higher efficiency for automated production machines. This has a direct impact on the sale price and allows the company to deliver a high-tech machine at the price of standard one, says Joskin. The Modulo Advantage will be available for less than €35,000. ■

Business growth in the bag despite a difficult year Despite a difficult year with drought causing low yields and many customers achieving only one cut of grass instead of two or three, AB Systems did manage to bag a few large tonnages for some big anaerobic digesters. The company also reports having its biggest increase in new clients which almost made
up for the drop in tonnage. “With the increase in customers in 2018, we decided to get another large 14ft diameter bagger for 2019,” says AB. “This machine is very different from all our other machines as it is on tracks, it will pack the bags tighter and have a faster throughput than all of our previous machines therefore keeping us one step ahead of the big
self-propelled foragers. We envisage this machine will be able to keep two of the largest foragers going.” As well as our growth in the South, our fellow Ag-Baggers in Scotland ‘Billy Rea’ have also been growing, adding another 12ft machine to its fleet last year. Combined, we now have four 10ft diameter baggers, four 12ft diameter baggers and two 14ft
diameter baggers for contracting, covering the whole of the UK. As well as ag-bags, AB Systems has seen growth in the sale of its new seven-layer oxygen barrier silage sheet. It reports that customers have been happy with the product which is now available in a larger selection of sizes along with side wall sheets giving more choice. ■

Managing tight forage stocks Derek Garrett.
Last year’s late cold spring and lack of summer rain challenged dairy farmers to make and store enough forage for their cows. Sara Gregson asks one producer how he coped. Derek Garrett runs 460 Jersey crossbred cows on an organic dairy unit at Park Hill Farm near Thornbury in Avon, on 385ha of part-owned, part-rented land. The herd is split
into 130 autumn calvers and 330 spring calvers, with the spring calvers milked once a day and the autumn calvers milked twice a day until the spring calvers start the following

year. The autumn calvers are fed 4kg oats and 1.5kg soya until the springs start calving, but the spring calvers receive no concentrate feed at all. They are all kept in one herd. The milk is sold to OMSCO and the milk has been certified antibioticfree for the past three years. Derek went organic in 2006 and has been running a New Zealand style grazing system for many years. The cows enter a paddock when there is 3,200kg DM/ha and graze it down tight to 1,500kg DM/ha. They are given 12-hour breaks, giving the cows a regular fresh feed. The cows have been out this year in the daytime since the end of February, although the dry winter has slowed grass growth well below normal. “We would usually have 76cm of rain a year and we have had only 15– 17cm all winter,” says Derek. “We are in the rain-shadow of South Wales – we can watch it raining over the River Severn and be totally dry here.”
Grass seed mixtures The soils vary across the farm from sandy loam to some heavier clay. Grass seeds mixtures such as Megabite for grazing and Fortress for silage with white clover from Oliver Seeds have been used extensively with some fields now 14 years old and still performing. “I tend to replace up to 20ha of the grazing block each year – ploughing in winter, spreading muck at 14t/ha and cultivating with a disc before distributing the seed using a harrow with a seed box above. “I have always bought from Tony Walkers at Oliver Seeds since going down the milk from grazed grass route. My focus is producing milk from forage and these mixtures have never let me down. They are predominantly late perennial ryegrasses, with Timothy, festulolium and white clover.”

much later than usual, but once the warm weather came the grass grew very quickly – giving a large first cut of silage. “We were lucky enough to have a lot of forage in stock from 2017 so we had more than enough to last the longer winter,” Derek explains. “We had a massive first cut but the second cut never came. After filling the clamp we usually make 1,500 round bales – but last year made just 500. “The clover thrived in the dry summer and we had 40ha of pure clover which we baled but didn’t wrap and fed out in a sacrifice paddock along with 300t of clamp silage, from mid June to mid August. “During those 8 weeks we lost 5 litres of milk a day per cow, but when the rain came the fresh grass that grew was of exceptional quality and we got 3-litres a day per cow back. “The favourable autumn allowed us to keep the cows out a month longer than usual and the heifers stayed out grazing until Christmas Eve. We dried off some of the autumn calvers a month earlier than normal to allow more grass for the spring calvers. “I also took the opportunity to sell 40 high cell count cows. I used their milk to rear beef calves for five months, saving on the cost of organic milk powder before selling the cows. “The forage stocks are now low – with no round bales left and just 400t of clamp silage. It will be tight but we have our fingers crossed that it will rain and the grazing and silage fields will come away well. Last year was a real test but we managed by being flexible and adapting to the conditions.” ■
Five ways to plug the forage gap – Oliver Seeds’ Rod Bonshor
•
•
Grass has grown quickly in the mild winter/spring and some early silage cuts have already been taken eg catch crop ryegrass like Tornado. It is really important to apply fertiliser/ slurry immediately to these fields to increase second cut volume Now is the time to carry out weed control in grass, in particular in young leys as temperatures rise and the weeds start to grow. This will raise the quality of the forage and allow for overseeding with new grasses in any gaps left by dead weeds
•
•
Sow some bulky forage crops. Arable silage can be ready in as little as 14 weeks and provide up to 10t DM/ha. This can also be undersown with grass ready for the autumn. Fodder beet also has huge feed potential and maize can be sown this month Reseed old, worn out leys. Last year highlighted which fields were past their best by giving up first in the drought and coming back last. Where sowing grass to grass – plough the old ley up now and plant with a brassica catch crop such as Winfred
Rod Bonshor.
•
hybrid rape for some useful summer grazing. Fast and slow growing catch crops are a relatively cheap option to provide planned grazing from this June to March next year Check soil fertility. Timely tests to correct imbalances and reduce compaction will pay huge dividends for forthcoming grass and forage crops

Hard working harrow for professionals The Grasmaster from Kockerling is a scarifying harrow that is built for the professional user and contractors. By using vertical double tines, the effect on the ground is intensified. The 8mm thick tine is strong enough to withstand the heaviest of work. The curved tine spring top allows the vertical leg to move in any direction levelling and tearing out dead grass. The 60 tines per tine field produce a tine spacing of 2.5cm. Each tine field follows the ground contours independently from its neighbour. This ensures that the whole field is worked equally even at high speeds. A hydraulic cylinder on the wheel/parallelogram can adjust the working depth and the aggressiveness of the tines. Aggressive settings are ideal for aerating pastures. Less aggressive settings are particularly suitable for reseeding. When working in grassland with molehills or dried dung pats the height adjustable cross boards level the molehills and break up the dung pats leaving a much better finish. The cross boards are not fixed over the

as an option. The fan is powered by a PTO shaft which ensures a constant strong flow of air creating even distribution of seeds. The seed is delivered down eight tubes into
the tine fields where the vibration of the tines spreads the seed over the whole working width. The Grasmaster is available in 3m and 6m working widths. ■

New grass windrower on show The Merge Maxx 950.
Kuhn will demonstrate its new belt merger grass windrower, the latest model in its variable round baler range, and its award-winning film binding technology among an array of equipment at ScotGrass 2019, says the company. Aimed at large-scale grassland farms and contractors, the Merge Maxx 950 uses two adjustable, variable width and bi-directional merger belts to give a maximum grass pick-up width of 9.5m in a single pass. The bi-directional design of the twin belts provides multiple windrow delivery options: forage can be delivered into a single central windrow, a single lateral windrow (left or right side), two lateral windrows (one either side)
or a central and left or right lateral windrow. With this degree of versatility, the Merge Maxx can collect up to 18m into a single windrow from 2 passes, or – in light crop situations such as a multi-cut silage system – collect up to 27m of grass into 1 windrow from 3 passes. Pick-up and windrow width can be adjusted to suit the quantity and type of forage material being harvested, thus enabling the number of passes and associated costs to be reduced. For lateral windrows, the windrow width can be varied between 1.0–1.5m. For central windrows, the windrow can be up to 2.2m in width.
Forage supply Auto-regulating rollers at the front
and side of the pick-up unit selfadjust their position according to crop thickness. These in turn pass a consistent and constant supply of forage to the merger belts, thus enabling the Merge Maxx to produce a uniform, airy and faster-drying windrow which makes it easier for the subsequent baler or chopper to collect large volumes of grass: for forage harvesters this can equate to a 2–3kph increase in forward operating speed. As with any rake, clean grass pick-up and the ability to produce a swathe which is free of stones, soil or other impurities, is reliant on the ability to follow ground contours accurately. On the Merge Maxx 950, this is controlled by three key design elements: articulated pick-up skids, powerful lift-control springs, and pivot points which provide vertical and angled ground clearance. As well as ensuring good forage quality, less debris within the swathe also translates to less time and money spent on replacing blades and other working parts on the forage harvester or baler.
Kuhn’s latest variable chamber round baler range will be represented by the VB 3165, a machine producing bales from 0.8–1.6m diameter and 1.2m wide. One of four models in the range, this baler is equipped with the company’s Progressive Density system which uses two chamber rollers, a starter roller and five endless baling belts to produce evenly shaped bales. Belt pressure increases as the bale grows and can be adjusted from the tractor cab to compensate for variations in crop type quality and to maintain a constant density as the bale is formed. The VB 3165 is suitable for baling a range of wet and dry crops: from hay and straw (5–20 per cent moisture), to haylage (18–35 per cent moisture) and silage (35–80 per cent moisture). It is available with Kuhn’s Optifeed, Opticut 14 or Opticut 23 intake rotors. All VB models can be supplied with, and controlled by, Kuhn’s new Isobus terminals, the 5.4in (14.3cm) CCI 50 and the 12.1in (30.5cm) CCI 1200, both of which can be used to control any Isobus-ready machine. ■

Manufacturer of slurry management equipment Storth sets out to reduce air pollution through the design of its equipment. As most gas emissions are released on the spreading of slurry, Storth manufactured a range of galvanised dribble bars in its British factory to help assist with precision application. This type of slurry application assists with the amount of nutrients available to crops, as traditional methods of spreading slurry can result in nutrients being lost to the atmosphere, releasing harmful ammonia gas. The Storth range of dribble bars reduces the surface area of which slurry is exposed to, lowering nutrient losses by as much as 5 per cent in comparison to spreader bars. The range of dribble bars, which includes
the Farmer Plus and Contractor Dribble Bar, was designed to help accommodate different farms. The vertical fold dribble bar incorporates a close coupled central frame design, giving narrow transport width, as well as the strength to facilitate the optional HD female A-frame. Prior to slurry being applied to the ground, it is processed by the distributor, giving a better consistency to the slurry being applied. The Farmer Plus dribble bar has been developed to have the added benefit of being able to use the dribble bar application on a tanker as opposed to the umbilical contractor ■ version.

Non-stop round baling made possible Speeding up the baling process is the main advantage to Vicon’s non-stop round baling and wrapping solution FastBale. It eliminates the need to stop and wait while net wrap is applied to finish each round bale. Based on a fixed chamber principle, FastBale uses a prechamber, a main chamber and an integral wrapping table, to manage crop flow and deliver a non-stop round baling process. Vicon’s use of two chambers in series allows a number of rollers to be shared. Operating as a pre-chamber, the first section of FastBale produces two-thirds of the bale. As the prechamber reaches its preset density, crop flow is diverted into the main bale chamber allowing baling to continue non-stop. The pre-chamber is then opened, moving the pre-formed bale into the main chamber, where it can be taken to its maximum size of 1.25m. Once
bale formation is complete, crop flow is switched back to the pre-chamber, again to allow baling to continue. Net is then applied to the completed bale, the tailgate is opened and the
finished bale is transferred onto the wrapper. This entire process enables baling to continue uninterrupted. FastBale’s design has resulted in a compact machine, which is believed
to be shorter than other balerwrapper combinations on the market. Producing 1.25m diameter bales, the Vicon FastBale offers outputs of around 100 bales/hour. ■
Vicon FastBale provides a non-stop round baling and wrapping solution, and is capable of producing around 100 bales/ hour.

Pigs & Poultry
Taking the plunge
Improving water quality for all pigs has become a principle objective for the UK pig sector because clinical evidence demonstrates it can help reduce disease challenges, improve herd health and productivity and reduce medication use, writes Jane Jordan. Speaking at a key industry round table on pig health and antibiotic use last summer, president of the Pig Vet Society, Duncan Berkshire, urged pig businesses to prioritise water hygiene and follow the principles used by human health organisations when they tackling widespread disease challenges. Securing a clean supply remains a prerequisite of any human infection control strategy – logic that should be applied to livestock disease management as it would bring equivalent outcomes, he said. AHDB Pork’s series of ‘Keeping the Balance’ roadshows held throughout winter 2018/19, enforced the ‘clean water’ message. Livestock housing and environmental specialist, Nigel Penlington, presented hard facts about water quality and his observations verified that most herds had mediocre supplies. What’s more, most pig businesses don’t fully understand the economic significance of providing a consistently clean drinking water. “As an industry we are very good at protecting our water supplies, but the mind set is quite different when it comes to delivering a clean, healthy supply to livestock,” he said. Low-grade contamination can and does affect herd health and it’s often a contributary factor in persistent disease problems. Many key pathogens, including swine flu, salmonella, strep suis and E. coli, can survive in water for very long periods – some for up to a year in the right
conditions (see graph). An inconsistent supply, in terms of quality and volume, can also undermine the measures taken to treat/control ill health as it can compromise the efficacy of any in-water therapy. “For an industry now choosing to use strategic in-water medication in place of in-feed treatments, this is a vital consideration,” added Mr Penlington. He also hinted how future legislation might require livestock businesses to demonstrate responsible use of in-water additives, such as sanitisers, vitamins and organic acids. Pig producers that choose to routinely use such products might have to validate efficacy, why they are necessary to safeguard herd health and welfare and that they are not an environmental hazard.
Liquid assets For new-build and modern, purposebuilt premises, the investment in a new water system, including dosing equipment, is around £3 a pig place (excluding labour). However, upgrading facilities on well-established farms that have converted/refurbished buildings, it can be more expensive. Estimates suggest up to £5 a pig place, but cost will depend on unit size, farm layout and how the plumbing connects between buildings. Water pressure and flow rate variability might also present challenges.
The filters on these nipple drinkers are blocked from silting. These deposits will impair flow rates and affect water delivery to pigs. Taking regular water samples at different outlets around the farm can reveal a lot about the hygiene and quality of pigs’ drinking water.
With current market uncertainty, many producers seem reluctant to invest, but evidence suggests that these ‘older sites’ could potentially gain more from an H2O upgrade, in terms of herd health, productivity and economic return. Innovation and technology from other industries, and the development of safe, easy-to-use biocides and additives, are beginning to simplify on farm water treatment/ management – practical progress that will help producers consistently deliver hygienic supplies to all pigs, indoors and out. Speaking at AHDB’s roadshow, Fieldsman with BQP/ Tulip fieldsman, Mark Jagger has helped explained how practical upgrades have helped BQP’s contract finishing herds stabilise continued over...
AHDB observations continually demonstrate that water is mediocre on most pig farms. These samples show how variable quality can be on one farm.

water quality and subsequently reduce medication use and improve pig performance. He said providing cleaner drinking water, at the correct pressure and flow rate at each stage of the production process, has raised water and feed intakes and lifted growth rates on most farms. Mortality rates in the early stages (7–30kg liveweight) have also fallen and experience also shows that outcomes from using in-water medication and acid treatments have also been better when water quality is stabilised. Producers have also found that introducing routine pipe cleaning and disinfection to end of batch washdown is also helping to minimise health problems and maintain productivity in subsequent consignment of pigs. “Achieving a consistently good quality water supply is challenging, and we’re still learning as no single solution suits every farm. You must evaluate each system individually, determine what you want to achieve and see if it’s practical. We’ve found sanitising water and using organic acids in the drinking supply works well and suits our system,” he explained. BQP units use Huwa San to clean and flush all pipework and header tanks. The approved biocide is added to waterlines at recommended concentrations using an automatic, in-line doser (Dostaron or Select Doser). The sanitiser can also be safely administered to the pigs’ drinking water at a low concentration throughout the production period to protect it from bacterial contaminants and biofilm build-up.
Hassle-free and high-tech Producers wanting hassle-free water management might find the Merlin package from Contended Products a cost-effective option. This innovative, self-contained water purification system suits indoor and outdoor sites and offers sophisticated control
without daily ‘hands-on’ management. Merlin comes as a package which includes all equipment and associated services for a monthly fee, so no capital investment is required. Producers simply buy into a bespoke bundle which provides the high-tech water analysis/treatment plus all the required biocides, stabilisers and organic acids needed to consistently deliver hygienic, good quality drinking water to every pig on the farm, 24/7. Brenntag products are recommended for Merlin (Clorious-2 for sanitising and Neubacid-SM an organic acid), which are Defra and FEMAS approved and comply fully with Red Tractor/RSPCA assurance standards. The treatment plant is housed inside a small steel container which is delivered direct the farm or bore whole site. The kit is simply ‘plumbed in’ and once set up, will automatically purify/treat the water to ensure optimum quality at all times. It can run on solar and/or mains power or a generator. Clean Water International (CWI) developed Merlin and operates similar serviced water quality packages in the poultry and food processing industries. Although stockmen/ managers are advised to keep a daily check on activities, CWI technicians will manage the process remotely via an internet platform. Real time data is collected on pH, mineral levels, dosing levels/sanitisation and the quality of water being delivered to the pigs. Pressure and flow rates are continually monitored with any faults, such as burst pipes or blockages, triggers an immediate alert. The system also complements Contented’s range of Clean-Water tanks and drinkers, which are already widely used on outdoor herds. Tom Neat of Contented Products says Merlin makes high-tech water, quality assured water treatment an affordable option for pig producers. “We must change our mindset about water hygiene if we are to reduce further medication use. This technology enables all pig farms, whether they’re indoors or out to deliver consistently clean drinking water to all of their pigs, all of the
time,” he explains. Farms using Merlin report good results with noticeable improvements to pig health and vitality. One 5,000-place free-range finishing site in North Norfolk noted an increase in feed consumption and less scouring in growing pigs once it began purifying and acidifying its water supply. Stockmen said the pigs spent more time around the drinkers and that feed stations required re-filling a day earlier. Another installation on an indoor breed-to-finish unit has recently been completed and initial results look equally promising.
Performance and profit Water quality is now an integral part of Dutch and Danish pig health programmes and most herds see positive improvements to productivity following the installation of water treatment facilities. A report by the EU PiG Innovation Group highlighted how a sanitised water system on a Danish finishing farm boosted average growth rates by 10% per cent and improved feed efficiency by 3 per cent. The unit, owned and managed by Jens Ole Bladt’s, an EU PiG ambassador, also saw a 1 per cent drop in mortality rate and a 10 per cent reduction in the incidence of colitis/diarrhoea, which brought a subsequent reduction in veterinary/medicine inputs and antibiotic use. Financial analyses also revealed that having cleaner drinking water helped to cut production costs from €1.40 to €1.36/kg. Dutch producer Rene Weijs runs a 3,200-place finishing unit at Veulen. The farm installed an intricate, computer-controlled and monitored water filtration and treatment plant two years ago as part of a health programme to control persistent ileitis. Dutch legislation meant infeed medication was no longer an option. The facility delivers sanitised, fresh water to every pen and can strategically medicate individual
Improving water quality on pig units will cut down pathogenic challenges and bring benefits to pig health, productivity and antibiotic reduction.
rooms and pens if required. The farm’s water comes from a borehole and samples taken before the filtration system was installed showed variable quality. High bacterial concentrations were also found in the pipelines, which suggested biofilm build up and perpetual reinfection. When the lines were cleaned/ replaced and then re-fuelled with sanitised drinking water, Rene says pigs’ fluid and feed intake increased considerably and ileitis waned. As part of the upgrade the business also installed a comprehensive a network of colourcoded water lines which deliver fresh (blue), acidified (red) and vitamin/ mineral supplemented (green) water to every pen. Individual groups of pigs can also be strategically dosed with nutritional/health supplements or medication when required. Antibiotic (AB) use has fallen significantly on this farm since the water treatment plant was installed. Annual usage is now below 4 Defined Daily Doses per Animal (DDDA), which is attributed to the high sanitary standards achieved and the routine use of in-water acids/gut conditioners. Growth rate averages between 850–900g a day with an FCR of 2.35 from 27–110 kg (liveweight). ■

Innovation and collaboration in line with market demands Suffolk-based Rattlerow Farms is it at the forefront of British pig production, it says. The family-owned breeding and genetics company, now in its 66th year, was named NPA AIG Member of the year last year – an award voted for by producers and the allied trade. Rattlerow’s core business is pig genetics, but is also shaping its activities in line with market demands. “UK pig production is evolving and there’s opportunities at many different levels,” says general manager Robin Lawson. The company has forged partnerships with integrators, including Karro and Cranswick, to manage their in-house breeding programmes. It’s also invested in an independent AI business – Klasse AI – which launched in 2016 and brought significant change to the UK’s porcine AI business. Klasse works collaboratively with breeders from UK, Europe and the US, to offer all pig businesses, not only Rattlerow customers, a wide selection of elite, world class genetics from ‘under one roof’ – a strategy that has proved highly successful and
kept sales growing, year-on-year. “Producers like the convenience of being able to obtain all AI requirements from one place. This collaborative ethos is also improving the quality and efficiency of AI services delivered to UK farms and helping maintain continued investment in new technology,” adds Robin. A £750,000 expansion programme was completed last year, plus investment in new genetic lines. The EBX terminal sire, developed by Choice Genetics in Iowa, is the latest addition, and is claimed to be one of the fastest-growing boars in the world. Progeny are lean, with exceptional carcase qualities, so there’s a strong demand for these genetics in the UK.
Contract opportunities Elsewhere, Rattlerow’s practical, innovative approach to pig farming continues to influence commercial production. The company farms 800ha of arable land, runs 4,000 commercial sows and is currently producing some 3,000 bacon pigs a week. Rising productivity means

it seeking more contract finishing places. “We offer third-party partners a good package and can tailor a contract to fit an existing business or provide the technical expertise required to start up a new venture,” says Robin. Where possible, Rattlerow aims to standardise its finishing operations – the preference is straw-based, all-in, all-out production that complies with Red Tractor/RSPCA assurance standards. New-build projects are ideal, and premiums are offered to recognise the benefits that new accommodation can bring to pig health and performance. However, premises that have livestock buildings are equally viable and Rattlerow’s technical design team can supply refurbishment recommendations to optimise efficiency and profit potential. Contracts are bespoke and specific to match the skills, labour and resources available on a farm. Contractors can choose to take
pigs from weaning at four weeks of age (7kgs) or from 25–30kg live weight and rear them on through to slaughter at 110kg. Any training and technical support is provided too and new entrants are usually guided through their first few batches by fieldsman Keith Wiseman. “There are opportunities for new entrants in pig production and we have a wealth of experience to draw on, a good track record and partnerships that can meet their aspirations. Those that have joined us, have stayed with us and that’s a credible endorsement,” concludes Robin. ■

40 years of indoor know-how pays dividends for new outdoor unit while simultaneously overcoming the extremely hot conditions that we recorded on many days during that summer,” explains Trevor. Knowing that temperature control is critical to both pig welfare and improved productivity, Trevor felt that the new outdoor housing chosen for the unit was key to its early success. “Indoor production has always offered a more stabilised environment, which in my opinion is what pigs prefer. Excessive heat or cold is not good and both are much more difficult to control on outdoor units. As a management team it made sense to look at selecting the right type of outdoor sow housing that could minimise the pigs’ exposure to temperature extremes.” In March 2018 director Jon Easey contacted pig specialist Jamie MacDonald of Cambridgeshirebased Contented Products in order to trial three Aardvark farrowing arks alongside three Armadillo farrowing arks following an initial conversation with their customer Karro Food Group. “I knew that Karro had successfully trialed the Contented arks on their own outdoor sites as far
back as 2016 so we went ahead with our own trial based on their positive feedback. Although we liked both arks the decision was made to go with the Armadillo, mainly due to its higher roof designed for larger sows. After completing the trial I invested in 325 Armadillo arks,” says Jon. During the summer of 2018 Trevor and his team put the new arks to work. “One of the first observations was that the sows were extremely comfortable, spending a lot of time in the arks on hot days allowing their piglets to suckle longer. Even when outside temperatures were very high, the temperature inside the arks never rose above 25ºC,” he says. The smooth moulded design has no sharp edges to prevent injuries and there is a plenty of lying space for both the sow and her piglets. “The offset rear window reduces any through draft and provides a useful viewing post for observing sows and piglets. On colder days we saw very little condensation inside the ark so straw stays dry for much longer,” he adds. “After many years in this industry I know that controlling a pig’s environment is key to maximising productivity. These plastic farrowing arks are certainly helping us to achieve that.” ■

Unit manager Trevor Short has no regrets following his move to outdoor production.
After more than 40 years successfully managing indoor pig herds Trevor Short made his first move into outdoor production, setting up a new outdoor unit near Swaffham, Norfolk last year. The new site (part of MJ and JA Easey, a family business run by brothers Jon and Chris Easey) began serving its first batch of JSR T9 gilts in May but, for Trevor, the process of setting up the new site began much earlier.
“We started laying out and stocking the 32 acre outdoor site in early February and by early summer we were at 1,350 sows – fractionally below the 1,400 sow capacity we had envisaged,” he says. The new breeding unit supplies 8kg weaners on contract to UK pork processor Karro Food Group for finishing at its Malton site. “It was a significant challenge to ensure we met the supply targets consistently with a young herd of new stock

Consider lessons learned from last year’s maize planting Carefully consider soil type and moisture availability on a field-by-field basis before planting, growers are advised.
With 2018 proving a challenging season for maize crops, growers are being encouraged to take a considered approach ahead of maize planting to ensure maximum return on investment. “To ensure the best chance of producing maximum yields of high-quality forage, growers should consider challenges encountered
last year in producing well-thought-out plans for this year’s crop,” says Wynnstay crop protection manager, Dr Simon Pope (left). “Last season, many crops struggled with the dry conditions on light soiltypes, where moisture deficiency and reduced nutrient availability affected yield. This was clearly demonstrated at one of Wynnstay’s maize
observation sites in Cheshire, where a range of varieties were planted. “By error, when the headland of the field was drilled, the seed in one drill-row was planted at a depth of 4in, compared with all the other units on the drill sowing seed at 2in deep. But the seed drilled deeper actually resulted in plants growing to a normal height whereas those drilled at the more usual depth of 2in only reached a height of about 4ft. The deeper drilled plants had better access to moisture during establishment in the dry heat of last summer and so performed better,” he explains.
Soil conditions For the season ahead, Dr Pope advises basing drilling depth on soil conditions and moisture levels. “Carefully consider soil type and moisture availability on a field-byfield basis before planting, to help decide optimum seed depth. If there are no issues with soil moisture
the seed should be sown at the conventional 1.5–2.0in deep and this will result in more rapid emergence. However, if the soil is dry and the seed needs to be drilled at 3in deep to find moisture, then this will be beneficial.” He also recommends sowing maize as soon as conditions permit – the soil must be warm enough and the base temperature for maize to grow is 10ºC. And while the soil usually reaches the required temperature somewhere around 20th April, those that haven’t started to drill as yet should first ensure production of a good quality seedbed is possible. Dr Pope adds it is also worth considering seed size ahead of planting. “I’ve noted variations in seed size between different varieties and across different seed-lots. Although this won’t impact germination, it’s important for growers to discuss with their contractors how machinery is calibrated and set up, to ensure variability in seed size is accounted for to achieve the target seed rate and plant population.” ■

New generation at core of livestock tractor line-up A new generation of McCormick X5 Series tractors now available from dealers throughout the UK and Ireland features more transmission options for a wider choice of gear configurations. It also offers new reduced-revs 40kph and PTO speeds to help with fuel economy and a power-boosted braking system for improved performance with less effort as part of a generous level of standard equipment. “The X5 Series is at the core of our ‘livestock tractor’ line-up and offers a lively and versatile power unit with a broad choice of specifications to suit different applications and preferences,” notes Argo Tractors managing director for the UK and Ireland, Adrian Winnett. “Together with a neat and well laid-out cab providing a comfortable and convenient working environment with good all-round visibility, the tractors make an attractive package for field and loader work.” The new McCormick X5 Series replaces the Perkins-powered first-generation X5 design with 3 new models powered by a 3.6-litre
With power outputs from 99–113hp, field work such as grass mowing, tedding and raking are among obvious roles for the new-generation McCormick X5 Series tractors.
Deutz 4-cylinder engine tuned for max outputs of 99hp (X5.35), 107hp (X5.45) and 113hp (X5.55). Apart from attractive power, torque and fuel economy credentials, the new engine has simpler emissions control hardware in the form of a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), which unlike a diesel particulates filter (DPF) requires no fuel-burn cleansing, maintenance or operator intervention. It also has a new viscous drive option for the engine cooling fan, which runs only when necessary to maintain a steady coolant temperature and therefore contributes to the tractor’s fuel economy.
Transmissions In the new X5 Series tractors, power and torque are channelled through an expanded selection of transmissions. Buyers can choose between a dry clutch synchro shuttle or wet
clutch power shuttle, a gear splitter or 3s-speed powershift, and from 12 to 36 forward speeds, with a creep gearbox option available across the board. “The synchro shuttle 12x12 transmission with manual rear linkage control will suit anyone wanting a simple, reliable ‘mechanical’ tractor for yard work on a livestock farm and perhaps also for horticultural and fruit enterprises,” says Mr Winnett. “But there’s also the option to
upgrade to the power shuttle with adjustable drive take-up, which apart from giving fingertip forward/ reverse selection also brings electrohydraulic control of the PTO clutch for progressive take up of power to help protect implement drivelines.” Alternatively, there is the new 24x24 transmission with a splitter operated by a button on the gear selector that permits easy up- and down-shifts to cope with changing load on the tractor.

This can be had with the synchro shuttle or power shuttle, as well as a creep ‘box that adds another eight speeds in both directions. If more ratios are required to handle a lot of field work – mowing, tedding and raking grass for hay and silage, cultivations and harrowing, trailer and spreader work, for example – then the newly-released H-M-L option provides the added versatility of three-speed powershift to complement the power shuttle. This increases the number of forward speeds to 36 with 12 in
reverse – or 48x16 with the creep gearbox – for greater flexibility when finding the optimum speed for every job. In addition, the new Eco Forty feature reduces the engine revs once a 40kph cruising speed has been reached, to save fuel and give the operator a quieter drive on lengthy transport runs. The new 4-speed PTO option is another fuel-saving feature, this time

News Let the fence take the strain Selecting a suitably sized energiser will ensure effective performance.
How to detect and locate problems with electric fencing are the most common queries asked of Mark Oliver, UK sales manager with Gallagher. “With many infrastructures running to over 20km of fence, integrity of the fence and tracking faults are major issues. Luckily new technologies can allow more effective fencing with speedy problem resolution in the event of a break in the current,” he says. “Our iSeries range of energisers provides outstanding control with constant monitoring of the fence operation.” Designed to power a wide range of fencing set-ups, the iSeries
energisers have an output voltage of up to 9,000V and with a light vegetation load will power a fence up to 100km long. It is the information generated by the system and how it is used that sets the iSeries apart, says Mark. Inline fence monitors constantly monitor the operation of the fence, measuring the output. If for any reason the fence fails, the monitors identify the problem and also the zone where it has occurred. Fitting one sensor per paddock provides fail safe grazing management. “All the data on the fence is shown in a single display box which can be placed up to 50m away from the energiser, perhaps in the office,” Mr Oliver continues. “We now offer an app making it possible to have all you need to know about the operation of the fence sent direct to your phone, giving simple 24 hour security.” The app also identifies the location of any faults, is wifi enabled and is a multi-user system for greater flexibility. ■
New diesel off-roader American off-road specialist Polaris has updated its diesel Ranger with new features to make it more durable, dependable and capable. Debuting in dealerships this spring, the new Ranger Diesel features a brand-new diesel engine and updated chassis, along with superior levels of comfort, handling and driving capabilities, says Polaris.

Celebration of Suffolk food and farming The Suffolk Show gates will soon be open again at Trinity Park in Ipswich with a big celebration of food, farming and agriculture in the county. The Suffolk Show on Wednesday 29 and Thursday 30 May is run and managed by the Suffolk Agricultural Association, whose core purpose is to promote the importance of food and farming to the economy and character of Suffolk. Visitors are encouraged to learn about how food is grown and harvested locally, with a new display on oilseed farming in the Farming Live Area. Visitors can also get close to animals including local breeds; Suffolk Punch horses and Red Poll Cattle, and children can watch chicks hatch or ride on a mini digger in the Farm Discovery Zone. Alongside the agricultural attractions, there are lots of new things to see and do at the Suffolk Show this year. Look out for the ‘Real Life Superheroes’ area which will recognise the work of our county’s police service, fire service, paramedics, air ambulance, RNLI, HM Coastguard, Addenbrooks Hospital and BT Emergency Disaster
The Suffolk Show will be returning to Trinity Park in Ipswich on 29th and 30th May 2019.
Crew. There’s also a new 60ft public viewing platform to get a birds-eye view of the whole Showground, and a Reflections Courtyard which will offer a quiet space to relax with storytelling from Suffolk Libraries and local heritage from The Hold archive centre.

Farmers Guide 25 Years Ago
In May 1994 Farmers Guide gave details of the latest set-aside rules which guaranteed payments would be available to farmers who agreed to keep the same land in set-aside for the next five years. John Hodge noted that in a safety report issued by Eastern Electricity the list of incidents involving high voltage cables was as long as ever.
Tractor drivers in the eastern counties managed to hook implements around stay wires and poles to bring down 415, 11,000V and 33,000V overhead cables. Tipper lorries and trailers also tangled with a number of overhead wires when tipping or forgetting to lower the body. Chavtrac sprayers announced a Rent-a-Sprayer scheme for its selfpropelled machines. This enabled farmers to rent a sprayer for 3 years at a low financial commitment and spray up to 2,600ha per year. Tractor registrations in the UK in 1992 showed a 36.7 per cent improvement in sales in Wales and a 20.8 per cent increase in the east. New Holland topped the registration figures with 3,345 sales (23.4 per cent of the total); Massey Ferguson 3,055 (21.4 per cent); JI Case 2,393 (16.7 per cent) and John Deere 2,314 (16.2 per cent). A special feature in May 1994 Farmers Guide on Balers & Bale Handling reported that farmers should soon be able to supply straw
to a planned straw-fired electricity generating station at Ipswich. Another straw burning power station was proposed at Huntingdon which it was hoped would come on stream in 1996. Brice-Baker at Wyboston in Bedfordshire, which imported Farm Fans continuous flow grain dryers from America, held an open day on a Norfolk farm to introduce new 10, 14 and 20t capacity models. Costing £25,950, £29,950 and £46,995 respectively, the dryers had a twostage gas-fired furnace and automatic moisture controllers. Two of the Farm Fans ranges of static and mobile dryers with 78–270t (24hr) drying capacity, were also on show. The machinery pages included news that Case had smashed the world ploughing record with a 380hp Case 9280 and a 12f Kverneland plough, completing 109ha in 24 hours. RDS announced the introduction of its yield mapping system and Stanhay was selling its Singulaire precision seeders in the Czech Republic. ■

Fertiliser distributors On many farms a simple spinner broadcaster, either attached to the back of a farm trailer or towed behind it, was used to spread artificial fertilisers in the 1930s. A late 1940s Ministry of Agriculture advisory leaflet listed eight different types of feed mechanism used on full width fertiliser distributors. Horse- or tractor-drawn reciprocating plate, star wheel and plate and flicker distributors were the more popular types of distributor at the time. Bamfords of Uttoxeter, McCormick International and a few other
companies made reciprocating plate machines. The bottom of the hopper consisted of three perforated steel plates and, depending on make, either the centre or the top and bottom plates were reciprocated by a wheel-driven crank mechanism. This action caused the fertiliser to fall through the perforations to the ground. The application rate depended on the length of stroke of the moving plate(s). Massey Harris, Tullos Wilmo, Wrekin and other companies made the more popular plate and flicker
The 14 plate Tullos Wilmo fertiliser distributor cost £266 in 1966.
distributor. A series of saucers or plates in the bottom of the hopper carried fertiliser to a row of external rotating fingers which flicked fertiliser from the plates on to the ground. Application rate depended on the speed of the wheel-driven plates and adjustable shutters which controlled the rate of flow from the hopper. Most plate and flicker distributors had 7 or 8 plates and
a 7 or 8ft spreading width, but Tullos made 10 and 14 plate models with the hopper mounted on a pneumatic-tyred platform. It was chain driven from the land wheels and the hopper had to be turned through 90 degrees to reduce the overall transport width. ■

Steve Lear, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire
”The V660 provides the ideal bale quality with good solid bales and I have the flexibility to vary the bale size and core density when baling different crops.” Steve Lear farms over 800 hectares and finishes 400 Limousin suckler cattle. Steve does all his own baling with a McHale V660 Variable Chamber Baler. Each year 80% of the bales produced are 5ft bales of hay and straw while the remaining 20% are 4’6” bales of silage. Over the years Steve has used various brands of balers and he made the decision to purchase a McHale V660 as he felt “McHale designed machines are very solid and well built.” Steve commented “The McHale V660 provides the ideal bale quality with good solid bales and I have the flexibility to vary the bale size and core density when baling different crops. Steve produces 4ft 6” bales of silage and when he bales hay and straw he makes larger bales up to 5’6”. Steve said “I’ve done over 15,000 bales and never had any problems.” When asked if he is thinking about changing the baler Steve replied “No not at the moment, I am very happy with it. It makes good solid bales in all types of crop and in the various sizes I need. From what I see in magazines, McHale balers hold their value well and as a result I’m confident I will get a good resale price, so my investment is a good one.”
