With Farmers Guide editor Rachel Hicks and the team

1 The Doe Show was packed with both new and used machinery for sale. Classified sales executive Sam Wilson coordinated nicely with a New Holland tractor! 2 Sarah Kidby attended the Norfolk Farming Conference where Sir Peter Kendall’s message was "Let’s embrace the challenge. I am absolutely convinced that for the younger generation this is a great opportunity." 3 Meeting our readers is an important part of what we do. Classified sales executive Sophie is pictured here chatting to reader John Lumb, who said Farmers Guide is "the best farming magazine in the whole country". 4 David Williams was busy as always this month, with various open days, shows and on-farm interviews. Here, he is pictured at the G&J Peck open day, page 55. 5 Dairy-Tech focused heavily on climate change, vegan trends and innovation. Pictured is speaker Professor Toby Mottram, founder of agri-tech start-up Milkalyser.

Welcome to the March issue of Farmers Guide. The FG team has been out in force recently, attending events across the length and breadth of the country. The month began more locally, with machinery editor David Williams, marketing manager K.M Sharp, classified sales executive Sam Wilson and myself all heading to Ernest Doe & Sons’ Ulting depot to attend the 60th Doe Show. There was finally a welcome break in the awful wet weather, and all three days of the event were dry (albeit bitterly cold on the opening day!). Marking the end of the pheasant shooting season, the UK’s largest dealer event attracts farmers, contractors, foresters and construction workers from across East Anglia and the south-east and it was well attended as always. In addition to stalwart brands such as New Holland and Case IH among others, Bednar was a welcome newcomer to the show. As well as celebrating 60 years, the show was the first to be presided over by new managing director Angus Doe, who recently stepped into his father’s shoes to take on the role. You’ll find David’s review of the Doe Show starting on page 33, plus plenty of videos and interviews with some of the many brands on our Facebook page. With no time to rest on her laurels, the following day K.M accompanied sales executive Sophie Brough to the Yorkshire Agricultural Machinery Show where they manned the Farmers Guide stand. The best thing about taking a stand at shows like this is that we get to speak with so many of our readers, as well as introducing the magazine to new ones. We appreciate hearing feedback and finding out what you enjoy reading about, and what you’d like to see more of. Meanwhile in Warwickshire, production editor Sarah was busy representing the magazine at Dairy-Tech, where many of the conversations were inevitably about climate change. Speakers in both the dairy and innovation hubs were keen to stress that farmers should not be phased by vegan trends and ‘dairy bashing’ in the media, which Sarah found to be

such an emotive topic that she wrote a full article about it – you can read ‘Is mylk a threat to British dairy?‘ on page 6. You‘ll also find a review of Dairy-Tech on page 105. Sarah also attended the Norfolk Farming Conference in mid-February, where AHDB chairman Sir Peter Kendall said during his opening speech that he believes the industry is facing one of the biggest changes since either the first or the second agricultural revolution. But despite the clear challenges ahead, the conference was far from doom and gloom and three young farmers closed the conference with their vision for the future, sharing their stories of diversification, specialisation and creative methods. You‘ll find more info at www.farmersguide.co.uk. A continuing issue right now is the weather. If you've been affected by flooding, RABI has released an initial £50,000 in emergency funding to provide grants to farmers affected by extreme weather in England and Wales, and expects to be able to release more. To apply for financial aid, call RABI’s helpline on 0808 281 9490. You can also call the Farming Community Network for help and advice on 0300 011 1999.

And finally... A large group of youngsters were waiting in a queue to get into a nightclub. Towards the end of the line, and getting a lot of funny looks, was a young man with a set of jump leads wrapped around his neck. When he reached the club entrance, the doorman took a close look at him and said: ”Now look here, son... I don‘t know why you are wearing a set of jump leads around your neck, but just this once I‘ll let you in as long as you promise not to start anything...” Thank you to Peter Jordan from Stowmarket for this great joke!

Comment

Is ‘mylk’ a threat to British dairy? The growing trend for a more vegan or plant-based lifestyle has seen a booming trade in alternatives to milk, causing inevitable concern in the dairy sector. Should we be worried? Sarah Kidby reports. Market research company Mintel suggests nearly a quarter of British consumers (23 per cent) used plant-based alternatives to milk in a three-month study period last year. But, while products such as oat milk, almond milk and relative newcomer pea milk – which hit UK supermarkets last year – appear to be in vogue, AHDB figures suggest most consumers don’t see them as a replacement for milk. Senior consumer insight manager, Susie Stannard said: “Approximately 60 per cent of dairy alternatives are consumed along with a dairy product – whether that be a cheese and ham panini with an almond milk latte, or margarine in a cheese sandwich. “We know that 98 per cent of households still buy real milk,” she added. “We’ve seen around 0.6 per cent decline in liquid dairy milk in the past year but that has come from people consuming fewer hot drinks – particularly black tea with a splash of milk – rather than a conscious turning away from dairy. Ironically, because we had such a poor summer, milk occasions grew in the short term due to people having more cuppas.” There may even be opportunities for arable farmers in the future. Susie added: “Oat milk in particular and oat products such as porridge, generally have been experiencing growth in recent years due to strong health perceptions around heart health and the benefits of fibre.”

cannot be

‘Health halo’ Despite the common perception that vegan equals healthier and more environmentally friendly, a recent survey of seasonal hot drinks, carried out by Action on Sugar, raised concerns about lack of labelling and a ‘health halo’ around some products. Starbucks’ Oat Milk Venti Latte was found to contain over 7tsp of sugar and 350 calories, compared to the same drink with semi-skimmed milk, which had 5tsp of sugar and 168 calories. Campaign director Katharine Jenner, said: “Customers looking for dairy alternatives could be shocked to learn that many coffee shops and cafes use pre-sweetened alternative milks, as the nutrition information is often very difficult to find.” Some nutritionists have raised concerns about whether alternative milks supply the correct level of nutrients. Rhiannon Lambert, founder of Harley Street clinic Rhitrition, was quoted by the Telegraph as saying dairy milk is “superior” from a nutritional perspective. “The only alternative milk which has a nutritional profile with almost as much to offer [as dairy milk] is soya milk, which also contains a fair amount of protein,” she added. “But, in general, alternative milks don’t do much to bulk up your nutritional intake.”

Environmental impacts While a study by the University of Oxford last year suggested that, on

a global scale, dairy milk production results in higher greenhouse gas emissions, land use and water use than rice, soy, oat and almond milk, UK livestock production is among the most sustainable in the world. Milk production accounts for just 2.7 per cent of UK emissions and the dairy industry reduced emissions by 24 per cent from 2008–2015, according to Dairy UK’s chief executive Dr Judith Bryans. British dairy cattle are predominantly rainfed – unlike the crops used for many alternative products – and they also play a part in carbon sequestration and putting valuable nutrients back into the soil, avoiding soil erosion. NFU chief dairy adviser James Osman said the carbon footprint of British milk is 60 per cent lower than the global average, and noted that it is important to consider other factors alongside GHG emissions. “On paper, an alternative milk drink may have a lower carbon footprint, but it may not contain as many beneficial nutrients, so it

compared like-for-like,” he explained. “With this in mind, we encourage the public to consider the carbon footprint of alternative milk products imported from abroad and buy British dairy where possible to help the agriculture industry achieve its ambition of reaching net zero emissions by 2040.”

The future for dairy Although the dairy industry is often unfairly maligned in the media with regard to climate change, it will still be necessary for it – and other industries – to continue reducing its environmental impact going forward. A recent report – Dairy Vision for 2030 by Kite Consulting – predicts that a 30 per cent reduction in GHG emissions can be achieved in the next 10 years through increasing milk yield per cow, increasing feed conversion efficiency, using technology and breeding to deliver better health and fertility, and making better use of nitrogen to reduce NO2.

Grain & Fertiliser Advice

Knowing your market is vital in a season that will test every UK arable farmer UK farmers may take a crumb of comfort in knowing they are not the only growers in the world facing extremely challenging conditions, as they contemplate drilling their spring crops in order to try and salvage something from this most difficult season. Spring always brings with it many mixed feelings, writes Openfield’s head of compliance, shipping and research, Cecilia Pryce (right). The days start getting longer and the birds start singing a happier tune, but I know this year many UK farmers will be struggling to find happy thoughts when looking at undrilled fields and sodden soils. But there may be some small comfort in knowing we aren’t alone with our drilling concerns. After years of drought in the US, there are farmers in major corn and spring wheat areas that are starting to wonder when they may also start to dry out. Last year, when water levels started to rise, close to 7.2 million hectares were left undrilled. A huge area, and one that US farmers won’t want to miss out on drilling this coming season. But when matched with a plague of locusts affecting seven East African countries, which is also apparently the fault of prolonged heavy rain in southern Saudi Arabia, the African swine fever crisis and the Australian bush fires, it becomes clear there are many farmers around the globe who are wondering what happens next. The fact is, regardless of weather, the global population needs to eat and maybe a few harsh weather events and biblical plagues are what

it takes for many modern cash rich consumers to remember what is important. We all need food of some sort, but consumers seem to forget that they also need farmers to grow it, that crops tend to be annual, that weather has an impact and pests and diseases need keeping in check or the shop remains empty. The need to accurately measure area of crops planted and final harvest tonnages is also vitality important – any mistakes can lead to volatility in prices which adds uncertainty to farmers’ incomes and, ultimately, a country’s ability to be ‘self-sufficient’. This current season is likely to test every UK arable farmer. The uncertainty as to crop size and areas planted could leave many with spring crops that they haven’t grown before, or 2019 harvested crops that will be left in the silo for marketing in 2020. Whatever situation you find yourself in, before you drill spring crops or when looking at what you already

have in the ground, it’s important to understand your local UK domestic markets. Put very simply, do you know who eats what and how close are they from you? Then ask yourself a levelling question; if my grain consumption points don’t need what I’m drilling, who does need it and how far away are they? Buyers come in many forms but gaining best price relies on market knowledge and avoiding unnecessary rejections and claims. The lead up to harvest 2020 won’t be easy but investing in time to understand your full marketing choices should be time well spent.

Fertiliser matters February brought even more unsettled weather which has closed the window for drilling winter crops with the focus now turning to planting for spring, writes Openfield’s fertiliser manager, Lucy Hassall (right).

Source: International Grains Council – London Wheat Report.

Due to the amount of rainfall we have experienced this could result in valuable nutrients being leached out of the soil profile, meaning soil testing could be advantageous to ensure the crop is receiving its full requirements to give it the best start. With a shorter growing period for spring crops it will be vital for crops to receive their fertiliser requirement early to promote growth. The use of NPK at this time will reduce the amount of passes where travelling conditions may not be at their best. With a weaker market of late there is a good buying opportunity to ensure requirements are on farm ready for first application. FG

Cereals 2020 tickets on sale Tickets are now on sale for Cereals 2020, to be held on 10–11th June. According to Comexposium event organiser Alli McEntyre: “There is so much going on at Cereals – from working machinery demonstrations to the packed seminar programme, not to mention the invaluable networking opportunities – that it’s only right that farmers want to bring their whole teams with them. But in the past, costs have been prohibitive, so we have worked hard with our industry partners to bring the event to a wider audience and make it more affordable for all.” New features include a Young Farmers’ Club programme with a focus on sustainability, an Innovation & Technology demonstration area, and a drainage showcase – extremely topical given the recent wet autumn and winter. There will also be a Grain Exchange for fresh ideas from grain marketing companies, an improved event layout and more crop plots featuring leading and award-winning varieties For more information or to book tickets visit www.cerealsevent.co.uk. www.cerealsevent.co.uk.

Quad bike complacency is a killer, warns rural risk expert Matt McWhirter of Farmers & Mercantile Insurance Brokers (FMIB) is warning farmers not to underestimate the dangers of quad bike use, urging them to avoid “subconscious thinking” and to take extra care to ensure their safe use. “Complacency is farm safety’s worst enemy and is a particular concern in relation to ATVs which will often be deployed on a daily basis for a variety of farming-related tasks,” he said. “Our brains are good at switching

Front suspension option for specialty tractor range

JCB cuts production levels amid coronavirus outbreak British manufacturer JCB has reduced working hours for thousands of its staff due to predicted supply issues caused by the coronavirus outbreak. The move has resulted in a 34-hour week, which started on 17th February, for around 4,000 UK production employees until further notice. There was also an immediate suspension of all overtime. Chief operating officer Mark Turner said: “The disruption to the component supply chain in the UK comes at a time when demand for JCB products is very strong, so while this course of action is very unfortunate, it is absolutely necessary to protect the business and our skill base. JCB has discussed the measures with the GMB union and says it will pay employees for a 39-hour week. They will bank the hours and work them back later in the year.

New Gator is the ‘most comfortable ever’ According to John Deere, its new premium XUV 865R Gator is the most comfortable model ever produced in the company’s cross-over utility vehicle range. The 23hp diesel-powered model combines the performance of the XUV 865M with a range of additional features, including a luxurious cab. Standard spec includes a continuously variable transmission with on-demand 4wd, power steering and independent suspension. The XUV 865R Gator is powered by an 854cc 3-cyl, liquid-cooled OHV diesel engine producing 23hp at 3600rpm, with a top speed of 31mph. The cargo box can be easily converted to a flat-bed and has a load capacity of 454kg, while towing capacity is 900kg and total payload is 680kg. The new Gator can also be fitted with a wide range of attachments, from snow blades to winches.

to autopilot, but the short, narrow wheelbase of ATVs can make them susceptible to rolling and calls for a focused mind at all times. It is a legal requirement for employers to provide adequate training for employees who use ATVs. This should extend to family members, including children over the age of 13, who anecdotal evidence suggests are regular ATV users and who are all too frequently forgotten about when it comes to health and safety compliance.” No child under 13 is legally permitted to drive an ATV for work. They are also prohibited to ride as passengers.

A new suspended front axle option is now available for Case IH Quantum tractors, bringing to the specialty tractor sector the same levels of on-road and in-field comfort that operators of larger models in the Case IH range already benefit from, helping to reduce fatigue and increase

productivity. Utilising a swing arm design connected by a saddle-type pivot, the layout of the suspension system means the structure is particularly robust, which ensures no friction is created between the saddle bar and the front axle. Suspension height can be set up manually from the cab, and this also allows any front implement to be attached and adjusted more easily. The system has four ride modes to suit all applications: locked, soft, medium and hard.

Cumbrian dealership makes tractor switch Newton Trailer Centre, run by Tony and Fiona Blackburn at Newton Reigny near Penrith, is already part of the Argo Tractors nationwide dealer network, having supplied Landini products for several years. But a review of the tractor market in the county has resulted in the business switching to Argo’s McCormick range. “We’ll continue to wholeheartedly support our Landini customers with parts, servicing and anything else they need,” emphasises Tony Blackburn. “But there are more McCormick users across the county who need this support and

we’re now able to provide it.” Ben Agar, sales director at Argo Tractors operations for the UK and Ireland, said: “This strategic move will ensure continuity of parts and service support for farmers and contractors running McCormick tractors, from a dealership that already has the product knowledge and technical know-how needed to provide the best possible back-up.”

News in brief NIAB moves to new Cambridge headquarters

Scot strongwoman trains with tractor Record-breaking Scottish strongwoman Kim Best has borrowed one of her employer’s 6t tractors while training for her next event. The 26-year-old, who is a lab scientist for Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC) working from its Veterinary and Analytical Laboratory at Moredun’s Pentlands Science Park in Midlothian, paid a visit to SRUC’s

nearby research farm to keep up her strength. Kim, originally from Tain in the Highlands, recently broke the world record in the Yoke Walk, completing a 10m course with 350kg on her back in just 24.42 seconds. She now has her sights set on Scotland’s Strongest Woman 2020, which takes place in Motherwell on 3rd May.

Crop science organisation NIAB has opened new headquarters in Cambridge following a two-year, £25million redevelopment and construction project. The new Lawrence Weaver Road campus includes offices, state-of-the-art laboratories, growth room facilities and meeting rooms. It is sited on NIAB’s original Old Granary and John Bingham Laboratory site, opposite the organisation’s home for the past 100 years on Huntingdon Road. CEO and director Dr Tina Barsby commented: “The development is an exciting new chapter in NIAB’s history following our centenary celebration last year, reflecting NIAB’s ambitions and aspirations

across the regional, national and international agri-science and business communities.” The Crop Science Centre is a partnership between NIAB and the University of Cambridge, which involves working with industrial partners to translate the university’s plant research into outputs for the farmer, processor and consumer in the UK and around the world.

Fogging contractors confirm last date for CIPC application Nick Green, chairman of the NAAC Group, said: “The Group represents all fogging contractors and many self-applicators and are not prepared to put growers’ 2020 crops at risk of exceeding any temporary MRL after the withdrawal date. We reiterate the AHDB message of ’if you fog them, you can’t flog them’. We would encourage any self-applicators who are not part of the group to join and take advantage of the best practice information that is available for potato sprout suppression.“ All contractors and self-applicators have access to alternative products and details can be found on the AHDB website. 71106

At a recent meeting of the NAAC Post Harvest Treatment Group, contractors and self-applicators endorsed the AHDB Industry position that the last date for application of CIPC will be 31st July 2020, meaning that no applications will be made to the 2020 crop. The decision was taken following the withdrawal of CIPC as a product, announced by the European Union’s Health and Food Safety Directorate-General Appeal Committee as of 8th January 2020.

In 2018, crop samples sent to BBRO indicated that 18 per cent of sugar beet fields were infected with virus yellows and this rose to 55 per cent of fields in 2019. “Anything you can do on farm to manage aphid levels and reduce the spread of virus yellows will be critical this season,” concluded Professor Stevens.

Varietal resistance

With few frosts to speak of this winter, and evidence of aphid populations building over the past few years, in all likelihood there will be high levels of infestation this spring and with that an increased risk of virus yellows spreading into sugar beet crops. Dominic Kilburn writes. That was the main message from the BBRO’s head of science, Professor Mark Stevens (right) speaking at BeetTech20. He said that previous insect surveys carried out by Rothamsted have shown that relatively warm conditions in January and February can mean an earlier aphid migration in the spring – straight into crops such as sugar beet. “Warmer winter weather does have an impact,” he stated. “If aphids are able to survive over winter in oilseed rape and other brassicas, as well as in catch crops and weeds, then so is the virus. “If cleaner loader dumps are infected with virus, for example, there’s an opportunity for aphids to move through them and acquire the virus, and so managing farm hygiene is also very important,” he added. According to Professor Stevens, the virus yellows forecast a year ago (following a similarly mild winter) predicted that between 22–54 per cent of UK sugar beet could “go yellow” without any kind of treatment to protect crops. “That was a reminder of just how bad the situation could be,” he stressed, pointing out to delegates that aphid control on farm is now anything but straightforward. “From the mid-90s pest control in sugar beet was relatively simple; a combination of a neonicotinoid

and pyrethroid seed treatment was enough to control soil and winged pests and there was little need for extra insecticides. But with the banning of neonics by the EU, and widespread aphid resistance to pyrethroids, ahead of the 2019 season was a changing point – while we still had tefluthrin for the control of soil pests, there was nothing for the control of winged pests in sugar beet.” However, 2019 control options were boosted with the availability of one application of cereal and potato aphicide Teppeki (flonicamid) and up to two applications of Biscaya (thiacloprid) through emergency authorisation (EA) to coincide with aphid migration. “Options for this season include Teppeki and potentially other products through an EA, but it’s worth reminding growers that resistance to pyrethroids and carbamates remains a major issue, and they often impact on beneficial insects. “We must look after beneficial insects and so don’t be tempted to apply them,” he added. Professor Stevens urged growers to go to the BBRO website this spring where its Aphid Survey will provide early warning of aphid flight pressure in their area from mid-April onwards. “Growers must then look for green wingless aphids and adhere to

BBRO trials work to assess varietal resistance to virus yellows has continued, said BBRO’s Dr Alistair Wright. He said that 12 varieties were assessed in 2019, four of which were on the current Recommended List, the other eight were coded varieties from breeders, and were inoculated with either beet yellows virus (BYV) or beet mild yellowing virus (BMYV), while some remained uninoculated. According to Dr Wright, a drone was used to measure comparisons of the virus across 140 plots throughout the season. “In terms of yield data, we noted that one variety in particular had no significant drop in yield when infested with BMYV and only a slight drop in yield (25 per cent) when infested with BYV. Far lower levels than we would expect from a traditional susceptible variety,” he explained. “All four RL varieties responded exactly the same with the traditional 30–50 per cent yield loss depending on the virus, so we’re not at the stage yet where we can say go and grow ‘variety X’ because it will give you a better response to ‘variety Y’. “Steps are definitely moving in the right direction, and it’s really positive for the industry as a whole,” he added.

Spring drilling BBRO production and mechanisation lead, Stephen Aldis said that patience and timing would be key ahead of drilling this season’s beet crop following such a wet winter. Lessons learned from the challenges of this year’s harvest had been that level seedbeds and consistent planting can really put you in good stead for the following harvest, he began. “But growers must think flexibly as to how they are going to achieve

their seedbeds this spring. Soil type will have a big impact on when and how you can operate. Treat soil type by soil type and field by field to really get the optimum out of your seedbed,” he explained. “Over cultivation is something I hear growers talk about each season and so it’s important to target those areas that you know are of concern and not everywhere.” Mr Aldis also warned about cultivating too deep when trying to alleviate wheelings. “If you are doing tillage at depth this spring to remove wheelings then look behind you to check you are doing good, rather than making it worse,” he added. He also asked growers to think carefully about what to do with land where wheat crops had failed from excessive water levels and which is earmarked for beet in 2021. He said that, come May time, there would be opportunity to restructure the soil, update drainage plans, apply organic material or get a cover crop established. Moving on to seed rates, Mr Aldis said there was no evidence that over 100,000 plants/ha will achieve more yield. “As seed rate increases, your area use efficiency falls – the more seeds that are drilled, the spacing between them gets worse, producing uneven emergence and gappy establishment, and this can make it very difficult come harvest. “In addition, there is no evidence to suggest that increased populations can help mitigate losses through virus. In fact we have the opposite opinion, that increasing plant competition results in the crop getting to the 12-leaf stage later, resulting in a detrimental effect.” Mr Aldis said that the optimum target depth for planting seed was between 2.5 and 3cm but there is the option to go to between a 3 and 5cm depth if growers are looking for moisture. “It’s not all about the level of moisture on the day, either. Seed planting depth also depends on the forecast as to how deep it should be. If we know there are going to be prolonged days of hot, dry weather then we should be more confident to go deeper and get better establishment. “Going deeper can of course result in a more uneven emergence so if growers can get seed into that optimum depth, then this should provide the optimum delivery of 12-true leaves and mature plant resistance.” FG

Arable Spring oilseed rape plants develop less branches than winter sown varieties so this must be compensated by a higher plant density.

Maximising value from spring oilseed rape

“Pollen beetle are a bigger threat to spring sown crops than winter ones as they migrate to the spring crops after the winter crops have flowered, so you must remain vigilant and take appropriate action where needed. “PGRs are not usually required and, generally, use of inputs is lower than with winter oilseed rape crops so this helps offset the lower yields you are likely to achieve. “Furthermore, it adds another spring crop into the rotation so spring oilseed rape can be a useful tool in black-grass management where this is a problem. “Plus, of course, there are excellent prospects for oilseed rape prices in the coming months so margins should be good.”

Breeding work continues

With the area of UK-grown spring oilseed rape potentially as high as 60,000ha this year compared with around 10,000ha usually, what are the key management areas new growers should focus on? While the 4–5t/ha yields achieved by spring oilseed rape in some countries might be difficult to repeat in UK conditions, 3t/ha should be a realistic target for many growers this year, says DSV UK’s Sarah Hawthorne. “Spring sown oilseed rape is really only a niche crop in the UK but it is widely grown throughout the rest of the world so there is considerable knowledge available on how to get the most out of it. “In fact, at a global level, around two thirds of all oilseed rape produced is spring sown and it’s becoming increasingly popular as you head towards Eastern Europe. It is estimated 1.4million ha is grown in Russia annually.” Much of its increasing popularity is down to development of varieties that deliver consistently high yields in the shorter growing period available, combined with greater understanding of the crop’s management, she says. “Sowing is a critical area and should be carried out in the best conditions possible to ensure rapid and even emergence. It is always better to wait for optimum seedbed conditions rather than sowing early. “The optimum sowing date is from midMarch to mid-April, with a firm but moist seedbed being the aim. Land that is excessively wet and cold should be cultivated before sowing to ensure that the topsoil can warm up and dry down before being drilled. “Spring oilseed rape plants develop less branches than winter sown varieties so this must be compensated by a higher plant density. Ideally you should be aiming for between 60–80 seeds/m2 but this will depend on soil conditions and sowing date.”

Nutrition There are also differences in management when it comes to crop nutrition, Sarah Hawthorne says. “Spring sown oilseed rape benefits more from

N mobilisation in the soil because the highest demand is later in the season when soils are warmer and more active. “An early application of 80–100kg N/ha is advised soon after sowing and this should be followed by a further 40kg N/ha at stem elongation. “Like winter oilseed rape, the spring sown crop has a high demand for sulphur and boron. An early application of 20–30kg SO3/ha is a good idea and 300–400g B/ha are needed before flowering.

“

Insect pests are the most difficult-to-manage problem in spring oilseed rape.

“Adequate P, K and Mg also needs to be provided to maximise yields, with uptakes likely to be in the region of 50–70kg P2O5/ha, 160kg K2O/ha and 50kg MgO/ha.” Weed and insect control are areas where particular care is needed too, she says. “Generally, the same herbicides used for winter oilseed rape are suitable and, for fields with high volunteer pressure or difficult-tomanage weeds, Clearfield variety Click CL would be a good option. “Insect pests are the most difficult-to-manage problem in spring oilseed rape. Cabbage flea beetles must be monitored after sowing. Their feeding damage can look similar to cabbage stem flea beetles so you need to be careful. “When feeding exceeds more than 25 per cent leaf area, a pyrethroid insecticide is recommended.” As soon as buds become visible you also need to be wary of pollen beetle,” she advises.

According to DSV spring oilseed rape breeder Inga Tetzner (pictured right), gross output remains the company’s key target with considerable successes achieved in recent years. “We’ve been breeding spring oilseed rape since the early 1970s and have been continuously adding value to the crop. “As well as focusing on varieties that deliver high yields and oil contents, we are working on more robust plant types that are more resilient against biotic and abiotic stress. “Click CL is our first Clearfield oilseed rape and we have just launched Menthal – the first clubroot resistant spring sown variety in Europe.” The variety Lumen is a milestone in the company’s breeding work with early maturity and a high gross output, she points out. “Lumen is a compact plant type with very good lodging resistance which helps make it an all-round variety for all conditions. “For those who want to go for the highest yield potential and prefer a slightly later maturity, Lagonda is the best choice. It is one of the highest performers on the 2020/21 Recommended List for the UK and, due to its vigour and robustness, it has excellent yield stability.” FG

Use of inputs for spring OSR is lower than with the winter crop.

Smallest OSR harvest for 25 years predicted

AICC conducted a survey looking at the impact of CSFB on oilseed rape.

A survey on the impact of cabbage stem flea beetle on oilseed rape crops in 2019-20, insecticide resistance and beneficial insects were some of the key items discussed at the AICC annual technical conference recently.

The latest survey results conducted by the Association of Independent Crop Consultants (AICC) were presented by AICC Academy (AICCA) member David Boulton. Data were captured in the first week of November 2019 from 106 AICC members, covering 79,040ha of

the UK crop. In England, respondents accounted for 73,130ha, or 16 per cent of the total OSR area. AICC agronomists were asked to reveal the hectarage of oilseed rape grown for harvest 2019, along with the area in the ground for harvest

Arable 2020. In addition, flea beetle damage assessments and cropping intentions for 2021 were also requested. Mr Boulton (pictured right) revealed that there has been a 20 per cent fall in oilseed rape plantings across the surveyed area between harvest years 2019 and 2020. There were significant regional differences within that figure, with the North East seeing an increase in area, while the East Central and South East regions experienced the sharpest drop. “These results essentially reflect the difficulty in controlling cabbage stem flea beetle,” he added. This is backed up by assessments of damage caused by the pest, which increased across all regions except Yorkshire in 2019 when compared with the previous autumn, said Mr Boulton. “Overall, there has been a 27 per cent increase in damage on the last cropping year,” he added.

From the larger number of 2019 samples, the average pyrethroid resistance value had increased to 60 per cent and a worryingly high proportion of samples were in the 75–99 per cent and 100 per cent resistance brackets. Miss Willis told AICC members that while there are slight local variations – almost on a farmby-farm basis – there is no statistical difference between regions and counties. This suggests there are no resistance ’hotspots’ and insecticide efficacy is likely to be reduced across

the OSR area, except in the very far north of the UK. “Resistance is pretty severe and appears to be everywhere, but we did receive one sample from the north of Scotland which was the only one we found to be truly susceptible,” said Miss Willis. The project also looked into resistance mechanisms and found that the target site ’kdr’ resistance mutation was most common, with the ’super kdr’ mechanism only present in one 2019 sample.

Beneficial insects Encouraging a long-forgotten parasitic wasp in oilseed rape growing areas could provide some reduction in cabbage stem flea beetle pressure, according to an on-going PhD project. With the one class of insecticides available to control the pest breaking down to resistance, alternatives are desperately needed to negate CSFB’s impact on the national OSR crop. Rothamsted Research PhD student Patricia OrtegaRamos (left) has been looking into potential integrated pest management (IPM) techniques and more specifically, the role of beneficial continued over…

Resistance A recent investigation at Rothamsted Research has revealed a sharp increase in the scope and severity of insecticide resistance in cabbage stem flea beetle populations across England, delegates heard. Since the neonicotinoid seed treatment ban in 2013, growers have been relying solely on one class of insecticides – pyrethroids – to control adult flea beetles in the autumn. As the seasons have passed, it has been increasingly evident that actives such as lambda-cyhalothrin are declining in efficacy as, despite multiple sprays, crops have still failed. To try and quantify resistance in cabbage stem flea beetle populations, PhD researcher Caitlin Willis (left) has been taking and testing samples over the past two summer harvest years. In 2018, about 47 samples from across England were tested. The average number of resistant beetles in each sample was found to be 28.5 per cent, with a greater proportion of beetles sitting in the lower resistance level categories. After a more concerted push for samples from growers and agronomists in 2019, along with samples taken from around Rothamsted’s own land, 157 samples from a wider geographical area were investigated.

parasitic insects in cabbage stem flea beetle mortality. There are seven known parasitoids of cabbage stem flea beetle, with six affecting the pest at the larval stage and one during its adult stage – this particular one, microtonus brassicae, could be important in the context of current struggles on-farm.

What do we know? The parasitic wasp female attacks cabbage stem flea beetle by laying an egg inside the adult beetle. After hatching, the larva then feeds inside the beetle before exiting the pest, which is the process that kills it. It is then suspected that the parasitoid larvae falls to the soil where it spins a cocoon within which it pupates, but more work is needed to confirm this. The adult parasitoid exits the cocoon and starts the lifecycle again. Utilising the huge numbers of samples sent in by growers and agronomists to Rothamsted after a call for samples ahead of autumn 2019, Miss Ortega-Ramos tested captured beetles for presence of the parasitoid. “We found that microtonus brassicae was present in 70 per cent of the fields studied so far and the parasitism rate was about 7 per cent,” she told delegates at the event. While this sounds modest, encouraging numbers to increase parasitism rates with changes in agronomy practices such as reduced tillage and implementation of flowering field margins might be possible, according to Miss OrtegaRamos. Furthermore, an assessment of the impact of pyrethroid insecticides on the beneficial wasp shows that recommended and low doses of lambda-cyhalothrin results in high mortality rates. Combined with evidence that pyrethroid resistance is rife in cabbage stem flea beetle populations across England, the use of these insecticides in the autumn is questionable if growers are to encourage natural predation. Continuing her work next season, Miss Ortega-Ramos is aiming to improve understanding of cabbage stem flea beetle and parasitoid population dynamics and interactions, as well as how to further increase the numbers of beneficial parasitoids in OSR fields. “Hopefully the research being done now will potentially enable us to lower the pest pressure and keep oilseed rape as part of our landscape,” she added.

Insecticide-free regime defies flea beetle in North East Drilling at Dunkirk Farm.

all our cereal straw and left it on the surface for natural incorporation. But it’s too valuable around here. So now we bale it all for local sale and bring in green compost and horse manure instead.”

Compost

Flea beetle pressures have grown markedly at Dunkirk Farm, Birtley, overlooking Gateshead’s Angel of the North, in recent seasons. Yet David Hankey continues to grow crops of OSR that rival winter wheat in their margin-earning. And he does so without using any insecticides. David Hankey (right) puts his success with oilseed rape down to the direct drilling regime the business has developed over the past five years improving soil biology and resilience; a recipe that includes an extended rotation, regular additions of local authority compost and horse manure from neighbouring stables; cover and companion cropping; and vigorous, fast-developing OSR varieties. Having given up cattle in 2002 to concentrate on arable cropping with horse hay and haylage production on his 140ha family farm, Mr Hankey was finding the sandy loam soils becoming markedly more prone to slumping and surface water run-off. Things came to a head in the winter of 2012 when over 450mm of rain between August and December necessitated a serious amount of spring re-drilling.

“We could see things were going downhill without farmyard manure from stock and grass leys in the rotation,” he explains. “So, we decided to move from our traditional plough and combi-drill system to direct drilling to try to get back to the first-class soil conditions we always had under our grassland. “At the same time as buying our Claydon drill, we moved from a five-year, all winter cropping regime to a six-year rotation involving first wheats after OSR and beans, and both winter and spring barley. We also introduced cover cropping, initially with a proprietary mix and then with our own purpose-built combination of tillage radish, oil radish, phacelia and buckwheat. “As part of this approach we gave-up spraying insecticides to avoid killing beneficials too,” adds Mr Hankey. “For the first few years we chopped

Around 25t/ha of compost is applied to around half the arable acreage each year. This season’s rape ground received it on the preceding crop of Sunningdale winter barley in late February, where it was rapidly incorporated by the ground’s thriving worm population – no less than 33 in a spadeful at the most recent count. Having baled and removed the straw from the impressive 11.4t/ha crop, Mr Hankey put in a mix of vetch and buckwheat with his Claydon on 23 August, drilling his OSR at an angle to the companion crop the following day, with berseem clover spread from a Stocks seeder on the back of the drill. A deliberately slow 4mph pass with a heavy set of rolls completed the process, enabling him to get the four separate species sown under the best conditions for each despite only having a single hopper machine. “On the advice of our Agrii seed specialist, we moved from old favourite, DK Extrovert, to newlyRecommended DK Exsteel this season, drilling it in at 32 seeds/m2,” says Mr Hankey. “Reliable establishment and fast autumn development is something we can’t do without in our varieties. But it’s important we don’t end up with overly-dense canopies. “As well as a consistent top performer in their trials, Agrii research shows the variety is one of the most vigorous

autumn and spring developers available – characters associated with much lower levels of damage from both adult beetles and larvae in their work. “Supported by a little DAP in mid-September, the Exsteel took off every bit as well as we were promised with almost 100 per cent establishment. And it needed to, with flea beetle causing a number of local crops to be pulled up and our noinsecticide policy. “The mustard we had as part of our cover crop mixture in the next-door field got badly hammered. And in the small area of the 10ha field where we ran out of companion seed, there was much more shot-holing. But the combination of very rapid OSR and companion crop growth meant the bulk of the ground was well-covered in short order and suffered remarkably little beetle damage. “The buckwheat, which died off after the first frosts, did a particularly good early job here,” he points out. “It’s also known to be valuable in making phosphate more available and its flowers apparently attract a species of wasp that parasitises flea beetle. “The main flea beetle management value of our companion cropping, though, seems to be in making the field look unlike OSR. We’ve certainly found pigeons either don’t recognise the crop with a companion or are putoff landing in it, too. “The vetch took over as the dominant companion after we lost

Arable the buckwheat and we maintained its pigeon deterrent value – as well as maximising its nitrogen-fixing contribution – for as long as we could by holding off on our AstroKerb until well into January.”

Soil structure The flea beetle-defying establishment and early development of Dunkirk Farm’s OSR almost certainly also owes much to the very visible soil structural and health results of David Hankey’s determined improvement efforts. Despite an early winter paralleling 2012 for its relentless wetness, ground badly affected by surface erosion and waterlogging little more than five years ago showed none of its former vulnerabilities. Indeed, it survived the challenge remarkably well, maintaining a great combination of firmness and friability, a level surface pock-marked with worm casts and a wonderfully humus-rich smell. “Our direct drilling regime is working a treat,” reflects Mr Hankey. “Our soils hold much more moisture when conditions are dry and in the wet their carrying capacity is so much greater than it used to be. In many cases our headlands are now performing as well, if not better, than

the rest of the field. We can drill much later into the autumn and get onto our land earlier than anyone else in the spring. “It’s all about building-up the soil biology rather than disrupting it every year with the plough, like we used to. The Claydon does a fantastic job in moving the bare minimum of soil at drilling. Adding a spring crop into the rotation has taken the pressure off winter fieldwork. Cover cropping ahead of both winter and spring crops has been a real revelation in breathing extra life into the soil. We’ve measured oil radish roots down to 19in in places, and have found both beans and peas useful alongside more normal cover species. “It’s been a steep learning curve and we still have a lot to understand about the science of soil improvement, though,” he insists. “That’s why we’re trialling different winter cover mixes alongside our own mixtures across the farm this season. “We’ve also deliberately left one field unplanted to try a summer cover ahead of next year’s OSR. Together with a companion crop, we’re looking to see how well we can maintain an active population of mycorrhizal fungi to benefit our following wheat crop.” FG

Taken in December, the picture shows that DK Exsteel within the companion crop survived flea beetle attack well.

On the same day, in contrast, where the companion crop seed ran out, the OSR had been very badly hit.

Caring for compromised wheat

Post-em herbicide decisions will be key this spring.

Challenging conditions last autumn are now presenting growers with difficult decisions for spring. Many might be considering what to do with, and how much to spend, on winter crops although nursing them through to harvest will be the aim of most. With spring barley premiums looking unlikely, and no guarantee of good drilling conditions during March and April, winter wheat crops might still be the best bet. Certainly, Stephen Harrison (right) of South West Agronomy wouldn’t lock too many doors at the moment. He says there’s no magic cure, but some of the lost ground can be recovered. “With winter barley, yield is all about ears and the number of grains, so any crop with compromised tillers will always have a yield compromise as a result. With late sown winter wheat crops you can still be short of tillers and ultimately ears/m2, but you can offset some of the lost ground by thousand grain weight.” The starting point is to make sure there are enough nutrients in the soil once crops enter the growing phase. He advises growers to re-evaluate their nitrogen splits. “Rather than a typical 25 per cent total dose for a first application I would be looking at something in the region of 33 per cent. But don’t be tempted to go too early and check soils are warm enough for plants to take it up.” In manganese-deficient soils, growers will have to be particularly vigilant. Mr Harrison says small

rooted plants will struggle to pick up sufficient levels and he feels it would be a good idea to test soils. Phosphate is another micronutrient to check for. “Ground temperature has a bearing on the availability of phosphate in the soil, so later drilled crops going into cooler soils could be short. It is important for rooting and growers need to determine soil levels.”

Disease control Later drilled backward crops are likely to need lower totals of N this season, and an opportunity to retain crop margin. Disease control might be another. “When your fungicide programme starts this season depends on the threat. Septoria pressure is unlikely to be particularly high early season, so you may not need to get in until GS32.” But for those that have susceptible yellow rust varieties, then an earlier start might be warranted. “It’s the juvenile stage that plants are at their most vulnerable and you can’t let the disease take hold. A fast moving azole or strobilurin would be useful to keep a lid on the disease and reduce transfer to yield bearing leaves,” he notes. Another possible saving is azole + CTL at GS32. He feels it would have

to be an exceptionally wet and humid spring for septoria pressure to be severe when the first yield bearing leaves emerge. “At GS32 azole + CTL is an option for varieties on the right side of ‘6’ for the disease.”

“

It’s the juvenile stage that plants are at their most vulnerable and you can’t let the disease take hold. For him the obvious choices are prothioconazole or epoxiconazole. Which comes down to whether the target is septoria or yellow rust, but it’s spray gaps over fungicide choice which is more important with yellow rust. “If these are short then Proline (prothioconazole) with CTL is a good protectant. You can add in tebuconazole if you need to knock yellow rust back a bit.” But he wouldn’t move away from azole + SDHI mixtures for flag leaf sprays. “The flag leaf is the most responsive in terms of yield and keeping it clean will be vital. You’ll want to prolong green leaf area as long as possible for bold grains.”

Weed control changes Unfortunately, such savings on spring weed control may not be possible.

He fears a spike in spring weed pressure and warns that late drilled, backward crops will lack a competitive edge compared with those sown at more typical drilling dates. These thin, open crops will be particularly vulnerable to wild oats, but black-grass and other grass weeds could also threaten. In addition, late-drilled crops haven’t gone into the best seedbeds so uneven cloddy soils could be harbouring a higher amount of seeds than previous seasons. “There has definitely been a shift in weed control strategies in winter wheat crops,” says Bayer campaign manager, Ben Coombs (right). “There used to be widespread spring application of Atlantis (mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron) to control blackgrass but now a broader spectrum of weeds are in focus for spring applications. “Where black-grass is a major challenge, control strategies built around cultural controls and preemergence herbicides like Liberator do the bulk of the work in the autumn. This means that spring is increasingly about tidying up any other weeds that are left,” he says. “Obviously, things will be slightly different this spring because of the abnormally wet autumn but I still expect other weeds to feature prominently in farmers’ planning.” Chief among these are annual meadow-grass, brome and ryegrass. According to Bayer research, agronomists are particularly concerned about these weeds becoming more of a problem. Ryegrass is a worry because it has been shown to develop resistance to various modes of action. Thankfully, it is not as widespread as black-grass but farmers should be vigilant to prevent any infestation developing. Brome is also a rising concern, particularly in the north and west of the country but also in the east. In most places, there are still effective cultural and chemical controls, but farmers are not always using them when focusing on other weed problems. Another factor is the

reduction in post-emergence black-grass applications which were also controlling brome. “I think the reduction in use of post-ems for black-grass control has been important in other weeds becoming more prevalent. Products like Atlantis and Pacifica (mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron) were effective against a wide range of grass weeds and also some broad-leaved weeds. When you take this out of the equation it follows that certain weeds become more of a problem.”

Broad-leaved weeds Broad-leaved weeds are also a factor in spring. Overall, the chemistry is there to control them so it is more a case of selecting the right product and timing rather than worrying about if the weeds can be controlled. “Decision making is in some ways more complicated in spring than autumn because the picture is different on each farm. In autumn, farmers are finding strategies that, if conditions allow, work most of the time. In spring, it really does depend on the weed profile on the farm and the success

of autumn control,” says Mr Coombs. “Generally, the picture that has come back to us about spring is that farmers are controlling a mixture of weeds and looking to do it as soon as possible before moving on to T0 and the fungicide programme. As a result, farmers now have the option of Pacifica Plus (mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron + amidosulfuron), which has good control of grass weeds and many of the main broadleaved weeds. As a single product co-formulation, we see it as a simple one product solution to the mixed spring weed situations we are now seeing.” Post-emergence herbicides will be more important this spring because the usual foundation is not there, after the wet autumn meant many wheat crops didn’t get a pre-emergence. However, in practical terms, using post-ems is no different to previous years with respect to waiting for calm, dry, conditions and active growth. The big difference is the potential range and number of weeds that need to be controlled so checking populations in depth before selecting a product will be crucial, says Mr Coombs. FG

Yield enhancement through fungicide use Disease pressure should always dictate fungicide choice and rate, but there is evidence to support claims that some SDHIs offer benefits above disease control. In development trials, Bayer noted yield improvements with AscraXpro (prothioconazole + bixafen + fluopyram) in the absence of disease. The trials yielded enough statistically significant data to allow them to get a claim for yield increases in the absence of disease. But establishing exactly what the fungicide is doing wasn’t easy, so Bayer turned to the UK’s largest independent agricultural consultancy to find out. ADAS analysed data from eight experiments carried out between 2013 and 2015, between common T2 treatments. Ascra was compared against other SDHI fungicides, and both against an untreated plot. Although differences in treatments weren’t dramatic, Ascra did appear to have an edge in rooting density and weight, ear numbers and moisture utilisation in drought conditions. “Here, Ascra delivered higher yield to other treatments and used less water to do so,” says ADAS crop physiologist Dr Sarah Clarke (right). “This could be due to photosynthesis, efficiency or duration, or stomatal opening in response to stress, resulting in different rates of transpiration.” But clear differences were noted in grain weight, with Ascra plots delivering heavier and larger grains. Dr Clarke believes this is a result of a greater duration of green leaf area, leading to a longer grain filling period. “There could be enhanced disease control through improved plant health but it is likely that pure physiological benefits are contributing too. All treated plots carried little in the way of disease pressure so the improvements in root structure, green leaf duration and water utilisation have to be a factor,” concludes Dr Clarke.

Field f cus After what can only be described as unprecedented weather conditions over the past few months, our agronomists take stock of the situation and look to spring for salvation! Dominic Kilburn writes. East Midlands The wettest autumn and winter on record! That’s the Met Office’s verdict on conditions in the East Midlands, where AICC and Arable Alliance agronomist Andrew Wells – along with the growers he advises – continues to put a brave face on what has been an unprecedented period in the farming calendar. Speaking in the middle of February, Andrew reckoned that only 25 per cent of his growers’ planned winter wheat area was in the ground – 20 per cent of which he considered to be not in the best of health. “Limited progress was initially

made on lighter and free-draining limestone land but nothing has gone in on the heavier, lower lying soils. “Early drilled wheat is faring tolerably, but its roots are now sitting in very wet soil,” he explained. “In addition to that, some wheat was drilled in early February but then two major storms delivering 2.5in of rain followed within 10 days and so we just don’t know what that has done to the crop.” To compound the issues of winter wheat, Andrew said that they have also lost some oilseed rape area since Christmas through the perfect storm of slugs, waterlogged soils and pigeons. “There’s currently a mix of situations in terms of undrilled land,” continued Andrew. “There’s that which was cultivated last autumn which is

well structured but wet; there’s land following cereals which has not been cultivated at all and then there’s land following maize and root crops which is in a complete mess. “The latter will have to be repaired rather than planted in the spring,” he added. “Most people have now parked the idea of getting any more winter wheat in the ground and will be moving onto crops like spring barley, spring wheat, pulses and oats.

“

Patience and flexibility has been my mantra in recent years and it continues to be relevant. “There will be some reasonable margins to be made from spring crops if they can be got in well, but if they are muddled in then that is simply no good. If we can’t get a sensible spring crop in the ground then perhaps it’s best to opt for a cover crop of some kind to enable a good first wheat entry. It doesn’t have to be an expensive crop and it’s better than doing nothing. The old set-aside system taught us that leaving heavy

land without a crop was bad news in terms of soil structure. “Patience and flexibility has been my mantra in recent years and it continues to be relevant. Some have run out of patience this season, which is understandable, but they must retain operational flexibility in this unpredictable weather. “Farmers are resourceful people and they will find a way,” he stressed. “We also shouldn’t forget that many farming businesses in the East Midlands are veg and root crop based and their priorities are not always with combinable crops. “For sure the problems experienced by growers this winter will have big implications for the industry – agchem suppliers, machinery dealers, consultancy firms – it’s going to have a knock-on effect and we all have to share the highs and lows.” Turning to agronomy matters, Andrew pointed out that the level and type of weeds being found in wheat this spring will of course be determined by the extent of what pre- and post-emergence herbicide applications growers manage to apply. “We have a lot of chlorothalonil on farms and with the use-up

Arable deadline looming it will form the core component of early cereal disease management programmes. “There is some yellow rust in wheat which is something we will have to watch, and most growers got an application of propyzamide on oilseed rape to deal with grass weeds in that crop. “In terms of nutrition, there has been limited opportunity to apply nitrogen, sulphur or potash,” he added. “Clearly the extreme conditions are determining what can be applied and when, but we’ve still got to pay attention to detail and get the basics right, whatever the weather throws at us. “What wheat we do have in the ground will be worth looking after!” On a more positive note, Andrew hinted that there was a little more interest in stewardship schemes; the newest in January 2021 will be run under UK rules, rather than European. “This means that inspection and penalty rules will be different, with Defra saying it won’t penalise you if there is a minor inaccuracy. “It seems inspections will become more advisory by Defra to help growers rectify anything that needs changing as well as providing them

with more support, rather than the onerous and penalty-laden system under the European rules. “Also, so that those that join the Countryside Stewardship Scheme are not put at a disadvantage when the new agri-environment funding scheme ‘Environmental Land Management’ begins, growers will be allowed to leave their current scheme at the end of any year, in order to join it. “There’s a way to go before ELM gets established but to date there are some quite positive aspects coming out of it,” concluded Andrew.

North Yorkshire Quoting AICC agronomist Andrew Fisher from his previous appearance in Field Focus (October 2019), he said that “it’s been a very pleasing year” as he looked back at harvest results. Fast-forward five months and the world looks a very different place! Also speaking in mid-February, Andrew said that when it comes to

winter cropping he has growers with everything drilled and sprayed up, growers with nothing completed and everything in-between.

“

Any thoughts of winter crop drilling have now been abandoned. “There are some very good midSeptember drilled crops in non-blackgrass land but that is a minority,” he commented. “At the start of February we thought that spring had arrived early and so there was a lot of drilling activity on lighter land. But then two weekends of deluge arrived in the form of Storm Ciara followed by Storm Dennis. “It will be touch and go if those crops survive.” Andrew said that any thoughts of winter crop drilling have now been abandoned – incessant rain meaning there is no hope of land drying out sufficiently. “The situation facing growers now is that they will have to wait for land to dry out if a decent seedbed is to be achieved for spring crops. “It’s going to be a manic time for

everyone but if it’s the end of March or the beginning of April before they can drill, then so be it. The seedbeds must be right for spring crops. “One benefit of this is that harvest dates will be pushed back which will temper the natural enthusiasm there will be to drill early in the autumn after this season’s experience, and that might help a bit more with blackgrass control.” Of the positives to focus on, Andrew reckoned that there was sufficient spring barley seed available, particularly as a lot of growers will use farm saved seed. Some spring wheat will also be drilled and triticale might feature for those wanting feed for livestock. He said that all the winter barley in the ground had been sprayed and so growers were on top of meadow grass. “There’s not a lot of broad-leaved weeds showing at the moment in later drilled wheat and so grass weeds will be the main target, with likely use of Atlantis/Horus to clean things up later in the spring, making up for the lack of opportunities to target those weeds earlier in the season.” Andrew Fisher can be contacted via email: conker.fisher@farming. co.uk or tel: 07836711918.

Potato seed treatment changes On-planter powder applicator.

With around 25 per cent of powder seed treatment manually applied to seed potatoes ahead of planting in 2020, there is a significant number of potato growers who will urgently have to review their system of fungicide application for this spring. That’s according to Certis Europe product manager, Nick Badger (right), who points out that following the announcement

last autumn of the withdrawal from sale of powder seed treatment Monceren (pencycuron), due to regulatory uncertainty, no remaining powder seed treatments available can be manually applied. He says that options for growers this spring for the control of rhizoctonia are to order seed for ware crops pre-treated with a liquid treatment of RhiNo

Mr Badger suggests it will be a case of “horses for courses” as to how growers will adapt to the changes. “With 50 per cent of the crop grown on rented land, many will wish to maintain their seed supply on a “just in time” delivery basis and invest in on-planter applicators for powders, or even liquid applicators for the grading line to maintain flexibility, but there will be others who feel they already have enough to focus on when planting the crop, and so pre-treated seed might be the easiest option. “If growers are treating seed with a liquid product it must be done prior to the tubers’ eyes opening,” he added.

Whatever system growers opt for, Mr Badger reminded growers that RhiNo and RhiNo DS provide all-round protection of seed potatoes, showing highly effective protective and curative control of black scurf and stem canker with excellent persistence on tubers for up to 185 days. On-planter powder applicators are available from Techneat and Team Sprayers. For Techneat’s Powder Pro system, re-calibration is required for any change in product formulation to ensure the correct rate is applied. The Team Sprayers powder applicator with Digimon control box calibrates automatically within +/- 5% of the set output, allows output to be adjusted from 0.6kg/t upwards and can be fitted to all makes of cup or belt planter. To move on to RhiNo DS, users can select the Monceren setting and just change the application rate to 2kg/t; the dose recommended by manufacturer Certis for controlling black scurf and stem and stolon canker caused by rhizoctonia solani. FG

Another milestone for soya Soya UK has announced a new supply deal with the UK’s largest soya flour mill. The AB Mauri soya mill in Royston produces soya flour for the bakery and food industry, and this deal will see UK Identity-Preserved soya beans partly replacing the current supply of Canadian IP soya beans. “This deal gives the UK crop the market it needs to allow for the next stage of expansion for the soya crop in the UK,” says Soya UK Ltd’s Jacqui McNaughton. “Over the next five years we hope to be growing up to 8,000ha for this market and, right now, we have more market than acreage, so we need more growers to join us.”

Last year around 2,000ha of soya was grown. Yields held up well despite the challenging weather conditions at harvesting time. Soya is rapidly gaining in popularity, and the UK area is expected to increase again to an estimated 5,000ha in 2020. There is huge interest in spring break crops at present, and soya is very much on the agenda as it is a late-sown nitrogen-fixing break crop, says the company. Soya UK Ltd is offering full buy-back contracts on soya for this coming spring. For further information, contact Jacqui McNaughton on jacqui@soya-uk. com, visit www.soya-uk.com or call the office on 02380 696922. FG

Jacqui McNaughton says that this deal will underpin a significant growth in the UK soya area.

Good spring management required for weedy stubbles There are very well-entrenched weeds in most stubbles.

the challenge of continued weed germination at our peril.”

Robust dose

The weediest stubbles for many years, courtesy of few – if any – windows for early winter cultural or chemical control, make good spring cereal management vital this season. Spring cereals are an excellent rotational aid to managing difficult weeds like black-grass, ryegrass and bromes as well as annual meadow grass, wild oats and a range of broadleaves. But much of their value here lies in the extra opportunities they offer for effective weed control over the winter; opportunities that were sadly lacking in the wettest early winter in living memory for many. Although spring oats and barleys can be highly competitive once growing strongly, they and spring wheats are acutely vulnerable to competition during establishment; particularly where cold, wet ground and less-than-ideal seedbeds restrict early crop growth. “Early weed competition seriously compromises the performance of spring cereals, with their short growing season and limited ability to

compensate,” points out Bayer technical manager, Darren Adkins (right). “At the same time, large numbers of seed heads/ weed and a heavy seed return in more open crops will undermine the whole rotational value of spring cropping. “On top of a lot more ground to sow this spring, we have very well-entrenched weeds in most stubbles and in some decidedly thin cover crops. Black-grass revels in the wet. And the mild conditions have meant it has continued to germinate and grow strongly. The earlier germinators are especially well-established with seven or eight tillers apiece. “We fail to deal with these effectively ahead of sowing and give our spring cereals the best possible chance to grow away from

Under these circumstances, Mr Adkins recommends a robust dose of the most active glyphosate as soon as the ground is fit to travel this spring. He sees patience as essential to give the treatment enough time to work. Equally, to ensure the soil is fit enough for a decent seedbed, good pre-em activity and rapid early crop growth before drilling. Moving as little soil as possible at drilling – together with high enough seed rates and sufficient attention to early crop nutrition and plant growth regulation – is also crucial, in his experience. “Glyphosate uptake and performance is markedly reduced under cool conditions, and there have been serious questions over the performance of some glyphosates following the withdrawal of tallow amine formulations,” he stresses. “So, make sure you use a modern Roundup formulation proven to get more glyphosate into plants more rapidly and reliably at low temperatures; and use it at the right rate for the job. “For established, young blackgrass, 720g/ha of glyphosate should be sufficient. However, 1,080g/ha may be required for particularly thick and well-tillered grassweeds, with tough perennials needing even higher rates, often up to 1,800g/ha. “Water conditioners can improve performance in hard water areas. But remember that no amount of adjuvant can make up for insufficient

glyphosate. And whatever you do, don’t rush your stubble applications. Take as much time and care as you would with any pre-em, because you don’t have a second chance to get it right.”

Soil conditions key Soil conditions are far more important than calendar date in spring cereal drilling, in Mr Adkins’ experience. He insists that the worst thing is drilling into cold, wet seedbeds that are too rough for much in the way of pre-em activity. The fact that spring barley and oats can be sown into April means that most growers should have plenty of time to sow into seedbeds that are fine and warm enough for the best establishment and residual weed control. “Moving as little soil as you can at drilling will wake up the least amount of weed seed,” he adds. “If you need to cultivate, top-down working will be best for most soils so you don’t bring-up clods and I’d work as shallow as 5cm wherever possible. This should help ensure seedbeds that give the best activity from your Liberator (flufenacet + diflufenican) pre-em. “Where you’ve gone in early with your pre-planting treatment and held-off on the drilling, we’ve found including an approved glyphosate with the pre-em works wonders, too. Even when we couldn’t see any emerged black-grass in the seedbed, including Roundup with the Liberator made a staggering difference to the control we achieved. “If the seedbed is a bit cloddy and soil temperatures are rising rapidly, it’s all too easy for grass weeds to have emerged and be beyond residual control before they are immediately visible. Of course, the glyphosate must be on before there’s any chance of crop emergence,” he concludes. FG

This year celebrated 60 years since company founder Ernest Doe arranged the first get-together of suppliers, customers and friends shortly after the close of the game shooting season. David Williams reports. Ernest Doe & Sons operates from 18 depots across East Anglia and the south-east; with branches trading as Ernest Doe where the primary brand is New Holland, and Ernest Doe Power where the Case IH franchise is held. In the past, with only a few exceptions, the New Holland and Case IH branches each had their own complementary implement and attachment franchises, but a big change announced at this year’s Doe Show is that apart from Case IH- and New Holland-branded products, all others will be available from all depots with immediate effect. A new brand at the event was Bednar. The Czech manufacturer offers a huge range of competitively priced cultivation products to suit all sizes and types of farm and was selected for its growing reputation and product build quality. Ernest Doe & Sons sales director Graham Parker said that feedback during the show regarding the Bednar range was extremely positive and that orders for various products were taken.

Graham commented that Marshall Trailers were also in strong demand. “We place large stock orders every year and offer the trailers at very competitive prices. Last year we sold a large number of flat-bed bale trailers and had a similar offer this year, resulting in more than 30 orders.” The 2020 Doe Show was the first presided over by new managing director Angus Doe, who took over the role from his father Colin at the start of the year. Angus took the opportunity to engage with customers and suppliers. “We enjoyed an excellent show and feedback from exhibitors, our sales team and customers was very positive,” commented Graham. “For the three days of the show, we enjoyed what must have been the longest run of dry weather since last autumn. As usual, the first day was the busiest and the third, final day generated the highest sales volume. With such positive feedback from our customers, we expect another very busy year.” FG

Ernest Doe Power received the European Dealer of the Year award from Dal-Bo. (l-r) Ernest Doe & Sons managing director Angus Doe, Dal-Bo group sales manager Torben Pedersen, area sales manager Thomas Atkin and Ernest Doe Power sales manager Ed Perry.

East Anglia-based Cousins of Emneth displayed its new Top Disc high-speed compact disc-harrow featuring 510mm rubber-mounted discs, and available in linkage-mounted 3.0 and 4.0m, and trailed 4.0, 4.6 and 6.0m versions. A new open channel rear packer with 600mm u-profile rings spaced at 150mm uses soil-to-soil contact and razor rings are an option.

Increasing sales

Marking 60 years of the Doe Show. An impressive display of Fordson, Doe, County, Ford and New Holland tractors were displayed along with Case International and Case IH models.

“Ernest Doe has increased its sales of Shelbourne Reynolds hedgecutters to farmers and contractors across the trading area every year,” explained area sales representative Ian Taylor-Balls. “We have also had a great response to our latest front flail mower which we build in the UK, and large numbers have been sold and are out working. We imported a model previously, but with growing demand Pictured on the stand are members of the we designed and built Shelbourne Reynolds team; Adam Whitaker, our own and it is proving James Swinstead, Neil Smith and Ian Taylor-Balls. very successful.

Review Strong partnership Previous and current Ernest Doe & Sons managing directors Colin and Angus Doe are pictured receiving a special award from Lemken in recognition of the companies’ close cooperation for more than 60 years of trading, during which Lemken has exhibited at every Doe Show. Teagle displayed a Tomahawk 8500 Chief straw spreader, which area sales representative David Threadgold (pictured) explained is one of the company’s most popular products supplied to the dealer’s customers. The machine on the stand was sold and David said that a dual chop version is also proving popular – offering a finer chop down to two inches for cubical bedding, and to save time needed for TMR mixing by processing straw in advance.

Avoiding resistance

Stocks-Ag sales assistant Leah Carr joined the company in November last year and commented that there has been a very busy start to this year. The new TJ12 distributor has a double hopper and twin metering rollers for accurate simultaneous application of materials of different densities and sizes. Leah explained that most enquiries so far have been for seeds, fertiliser granules and pesticides and that the recommended retail price of the unit is approximately £13,000.

Bednar also manufactures interrow hoes, which are expected to prove popular with customers as an alternative to chemical weed control, particularly where herbicide-resistance is an issue.

Review Marking 60 years A commemorative special edition New Holland tractor was commissioned to mark 60 years of the Doe Show. The tractor was unveiled in front of a large crowd by Ernest Doe & Sons managing director Angus Doe. In front of the commemorative edition tractor, which found a buyer within one hour of the unveiling, are (l-r) New Holland Basildon tractor plant manager Ryan Hopkins, Angus and Colin Doe and New Holland business director Pat Smith.

Electric weed control

Washer promotion An attractive trade-in deal by Karcher for its range of hot water pressure washers proved popular. This allowed an additional £125 off the show special prices if any make or model of washer was traded in, and national account manager Jess Grant explained the offer was available nationally until the end of February. Pictured with Jess on the stand was farmer Richard Mitchell of Ragmarsh Farm and Burger Bar, based at Bradfield, Essex. Richard was considering upgrading his current Karcher cleaner for a new model.

Low disturbance conversions

A display of new and future technology included the CNH AgXtend XPower electronic weed killer. Using electricity generated by a rear-mounted PTOdriven generator, the front-mounted XPower delivers an electrical current to plants, destroying their ability to take up moisture and causing almost immediate wilting. “Within five minutes of treatment on a hot, dry day, the plants can be seen wilting,” said CNH Industrial precision farming business coordinator for the UK and Ireland, John Downes, who is pictured below with the device. “We are seeing lots of interest from growers keen to replace conventional chemical weed treatment with sustainable alternatives, and another potential application we are trialling is its use for potato foliage desiccation. It’s currently available only as a 3m model priced at £150,000, although a 1.2m version is in development and there is also a model with break-back boom protection for use in orchards and vineyards,” he explained.

The Doe Show is regarded as an ideal opportunity to purchase quality used machines, including ex-hire and ex-demonstration models. A huge selection is on offer each year, and many items are promoted with special discounts.

Martin Lishman is known for its range of grain moisture meters and crop storage solutions but at this year’s Doe Show the company also promoted Bourgault Tillage Tools, for which it is the UK importer. “VOS System coulters are designed to minimise surface soil movement within min-till and no-till crop establishment regimes,” explained specialist Stuart Aldworth. “Less soil disturbance also means lower wear rates and a low power requirement combined with precise seed placement. Martin Lishman has imported the Bourgault coulters for approximately 15 years, supplying mainly OEM customers so the brand is well proven. “In recent years demand has increased as part of a strategy to improve soil health and save money and although most of the coulters we supply are to convert Horsch drills, there are other conversion kits under development and due to be available in the near future.”

New franchise arrangement Members of the Opico team are pictured with Ernest Doe Power representatives. Previously Ernest Doe Power depot sales teams had access to Opico-branded products but not to other brands imported by the company. Fyfield branch and sales manager Charlie Webber said that he welcomes the policy change which allows his team to offer brands including Maschio power harrows to their customers. “We are very pleased with the new arrangement and it has proved attractive to customers too. By mid-morning on the first day of the show we had taken orders for two Maschio flail mowers,” he said. Maschio Gaspardo sales manager Rob Immink said the new arrangement suits his company well too. “It’s opened up the market for us and access to the trading areas of the additional depots fits in well with us geographically. We have always sold large numbers of products through the Ernest Doe branches and expect similar success through the Ernest Doe Power teams too.”

Review Exceptional tool sales A new attraction this year was the Sealey Tools show unit. The walls and ceiling of a converted shipping container are covered by tools and workshop equipment from the company’s range, and special offers for the Doe Show ensured that members of the Sealey team were busy throughout the three days. “Seeing the range displayed in the show unit was impressive, and resulted in an exceptional volume of sales,” explained Ernest Doe sales director Graham Parker.  Pictured in the busy show unit are Ernest Doe senior parts advisor Lee Bloomfield (left) with Sealey tool van demonstrator Clive Sturgeon.

Mobile gas

Battery and petrol saws

Logic displayed accessories and implements for use with ATVs and UTVs including a new gas cylinder transport trailer. The trailer was designed for an Ernest Doe customer last year to carry gas bottles on a mobile home site, but interest from farms for tasks such as carrying gas bottles to bird scarers, and from gamekeepers for transporting gas to rearing pens persuaded Logic to put the carrier into production. Large flotation tyres ensure mobility over soft ground and the carrying cradle tilts to pick up the bottles, so no lifting is required. The price is £1,525. Logic area sales manager Oliver Minns (pictured), commented that wet weather during recent months has resulted in high demand for trailers suitable for offroad use behind ATVs, and the company is anticipating a very busy season supplying paddock maintenance products to repair grassland which has been damaged in the winter months.

Working demonstrations of Stihl’s latest chainsaws created lots of interest at the event. Stihl demonstrators Tom Edie and Mark Hellewell reported interest in the latest battery models including the MSA220CB which is the company’s most powerful cordless saw to date, and which was recently tested by Farmers Guide (see January edition). The MS500i petrol saw is the first fuel-injected model available and also received many enquiries.

There is no better place than the Doe Show to see Doe Triple-D tractors at work. This year, and celebrating the 60th anniversary of the event, there were eight Doe Triple-Ds on site.

Versatile trimmer “We have already received new enquiries as a result of the Ernest Doe depots having access to our products,” explained Spearhead area sales manager Jack Norton who is pictured with a Twiga Mid Flex T69 hedge trimmer. The new model has a telescopic arm with up to 6.9m reach and a 145-degree slew post allows the trimmer to be used at full stretch in the forward direction. The latest Twiga also has a new four-point mounting system, and the cutter head rotates up to 240 degrees. A hydraulic roller and flail-head hood are standard, and the cutter can be used during forward or reverse travel. “It was launched earlier this year and the new design, with its increased ease of use, has proved popular,” added Jack.

Wet weather drills This year has started well for KRM, after a quiet end to 2019, explained managing director Keith Rennie (pictured). “Even though many farmers attending the Doe Show have a lot of spring crops to establish, there is a very positive atmosphere and considerable interest in our range of spreaders,” he said. “Improving accuracy by adding electronic control and weigh cells is a priority for most of those buying new spreaders, and increased work rates are also wanted, so most move up a size.” The wet season has also resulted in high demand for the company’s range of tine drills. “We offer light weight tine drills which allow drilling to progress while conditions are still too wet for larger, heavier machines,” he added. “We also added a new Sola drill late last year, designed to minimise soil disturbance using narrow tungsten carbide coulter tips, and it’s suitable for direct drilling too so it’s grant qualifying which makes it very affordable.” March 2020 www.farmersguide.co.uk 39

Specification to suit The new Mega mounted sprayer from Hardi boasts features and improvements over the Master model it replaces. The spray tank, chassis and fluid system are all new, and Hardi sales director Peter Wiles (pictured) explained that the new chassis and tank are designed to keep the liquid weight as close to the rear of the tractor as possible, while leaving space for access to the PTO and hydraulics. Lower link suspension is unique and improves the ride in the field and for transport. Tank capacities are 1,200– 2,200 litres and boom widths are 15–28m.

SP swathers in demand MacDon combine headers have proved popular with the dealer’s customers for fitting to Case IH and New Holland combines as well as other brands. This year, for the first time, a MacDon self-propelled swather was also displayed – one of two supplied to customers by Ernest Doe last year. “There is increasing interest from potential customers for a wide range of crops and we took orders for two more machines during the show.” explained area sales manager for the Ernest Doe Braintree depot, Mark Jolley. “Interest is no longer just for oilseed rape, and other enquiries concerned alfalfa, borage and buckwheat. With the potential ban on using glyphosate as a chemical desiccant, increased cutting and swathing is expected.” The MacDon swather is available in 15–40ft working widths. With Mark (left) is MacDon representative Paul Pickford.

The latest Case IH Magnum AFS Connect tractors were displayed for the first time in the UK and proved a star attraction for visitors. There were two versions on show – a conventional wheeled 380CVX and a Rowtrac half-track 380CVX, as well as a simulator allowing customers to try out the revised controls and main precision farming features. Pictured with the new Magnum AFS Connect are (l-r) Case IH product demonstrator Ed Watson, Case IH Magnum and Quadtrac product specialist Paul Freeman, Case IH marketing manager Charles Blessley, Ernest Doe Power Framlingham-based area sales manager Graham Goodwin and Ernest Doe Power Case IH brand manager Ed Perry.

Grass harvest kit

On the Wessex stand, the new BFX180 large bale unroller attracted interest. “Most enquiries have been for livestock feeding,” explained sales manager Jake Browning (pictured). “Other applications being considered include using it to re-bale large round bales into conventional small bales, mainly for equine use. It was launched in late 2019 and is priced at £4,900.”

SIP grass harvesting products were added to the Ernest Doe & Sons portfolio in late 2017, and the range has since proved a big success. “It’s really taken hold,” said Graham Parker. “The first season we saw potential customers keen to see the machines in action at demonstrations which resulted in large numbers of orders. The following year, many of those who had bought SIP machines placed further orders for additional kit including rakes and tedders, and had recommended the brand to friends and neighbours.” SIP sales director Martin Holden is delighted with the response by Ernest Doe customers. “We have sold a real mix of models, and the trend is toward larger machinery each time an item is updated, so there are more large trailed tedders and sets of triple mowers being purchased,” he

Pictured at the event are SIP sales director Martin Holden (left) and product support specialist David Hughes. added. “Most farms have tractors with the power and lift capacity to handle bigger equipment and with weather windows for grass harvesting limited, the higher capacity is an advantage.”

Versatile tool thanks to accessories

Open evening celebrates new premises Family-run dealership Ireland’s Farm Machinery Ltd welcomed more than 300 customers and suppliers to an open evening celebrating its new purpose-built premises in Carrington. Guests were treated to canapes and drinks and the new depot was officially opened by Arthur Johnson of AJ Builders, and Tom Bailey of Bailey Trailers Ltd, who presented the directors Jonathan and Fiona Ireland with an official plaque. Kubota UK managing director David Hart also took the opportunity to present Ireland’s with a Gold Service Dealer award.

The Easy Petrol Post Driver team spoke to David Cobb from Cobbs Country Store at Midlands Machinery Show 2019, as he was interested in some extra accessories for his Easy Petrol Post Driver. David originally bought his Post Driver from McVeigh Parker when he was purchasing some Clipex fencing. After the rep showed him the Easy Petrol Post Driver way to knock them in, David says: “I just had to have one, and it’s certainly been worthwhile. I’ve done no end of jobs with it and been really pleased. So, hopefully, with these new

accessories for it, it’ll make it even more universal, more versatile.” Since purchasing the Post Driver and the subsequent accessories, David has found some other jobs for it, including fencing a pond perimeter, which is part of his conservation area, and building a coffee shop. He wanted the space to be smart and inviting for customers, so put up some pergolas and bird feeding stations. The accessories David purchased at the show were a 4x4in adapter, a 5x3in adapter, and the Pilot Core Tool which helped him get these larger stake sizes into the ground. FG

Future success requires changed priorities This year’s Lincolnshire Farming Conference took place on 11th February at Lincolnshire Showground, and enjoyed a record attendance of approximately 400 farmers. Among the speakers was Michael Horsch, managing director of Germanbased cultivator, drill and sprayer manufacturer Horsch Maschinen GmbH, and owner of a large family farm. Through his travels, Michael has gained a fascinating insight into the way agriculture is practised, valued and perceived in different countries. This year’s conference theme was ‘The future is now’, and Michael’s contribution didn’t disappoint. He started off by describing the farming rat-race in the US corn belt, where many farmers adopt identical farming systems and use similar machinery which, he explained, means there is no differentiation between good and bad farmers. He said that for farms to be successful and profitable in future, identifying opportunities to diversify will be essential.

Changing diets He identified potential threats to future crop demand including changing diets, especially in China where adoption of a more western diet during the past 30 years has included high red meat consumption and resulted in increased health problems. Should the country’s demand for red meat reduce as a result, the reduced livestock numbers would result in a dramatic reduction in the demand for animal feed from suppliers worldwide. Another potential risk which could reduce animal feed demand includes laboratory-created meat. Already available on a limited scale, the meat is ‘manufactured’ by fermenting the same combination of ingredients that make up the animal’s diet. The resulting product is indistinguishable from meat sourced from animals but, with no animal involved in the conversion from raw ingredient to meat, yield is far more efficient so less of the ingredients are required.

Carbon farming Michael also highlighted farming techniques including hybrid, regenerative and carbon farming. He stressed that leaving ploughed fields bare releases large amounts of carbon to the atmosphere, and that cover crops offer opportunities to capture carbon and improve soils. He said that while our current farming systems were developed around chemistry first, then physics and finally biology – with the objective of maximising yields every year – little humus is created and carbon is constantly lost. A simple change to prioritising plant and soil biology first, followed by physics, and then chemistry, would reduce yields slightly, but significantly increase humus levels and trap more carbon. The technique is already used on some large-scale farming enterprises in Brazil, where attention to getting the biology right has meant fungicides and insecticides are no longer needed, and between 5–10t/CO2/ha is trapped per year. He went on to point out that with planned incentives for carbon friendly farming offering up to €100/t CO2 trapped, adopting similar techniques could add €500/ha per year to farm incomes. Horsch dealer Claas Eastern covers the Lincolnshire area, and Horsch franchise manager Richard Sharman was in the audience, supporting Michael. “He didn’t mention his products once,” he said. “Michael focused on farming trends and carbon farming in particular, basing his arguments on data from German scientists who are actually achieving carbon retention. He was inspirational and passionate about his subject and held the audience’s attention from the start. You could have heard a pin drop, and everyone continued discussing what they had heard, during refreshments after the talk. “It’s clear that Michael wants to make sure that what Horsch does is based on science and fact, rather than politics or fashion.” FG March 2020 www.farmersguide.co.uk 45

Keeping grain moving Grain storage systems tend to require conveyors that range in size and configuration so, with nearly 60 years of experience that reaches back to the earlier days of mechanised handling, Guttridge Ltd says it has considerable expertise in this area. As the owner of the Carier brand, the company puts together tried and tested conveying solutions with a comprehensive repair, maintenance and genuine spares service that extends to all Carier and Guttridge machines. It claims this ensures trouble-free, reliable operation over the lifetime of the machine.

“

Equipment is now offered for every aspect of grain handling. With the addition of the Guttridge Silo Sweep Auger to the range, equipment is now offered for every aspect of grain handling, from intake to silo discharge and bulk outloading. The company’s sweep auger and silo discharge auger can operate individually or together to provide a complete discharge system for flat bottomed silos. Guttridge also designs bespoke chain conveyor systems specially configured for discharging hopper-bottomed silos. The Carier range is designed for grain handling, and Guttridge claims to have kept to its trading roots and not compromised on quality. It has, however, added to the range and can now offer throughput from 10t/ hr up to 150t/hr, which it feels is best suited to on-farm use. For larger scale, fully-integrated storage facilities, the Guttridge range offers throughput capability of up to 800t/hr. FG

East Anglian Claas and Horsch dealer Manns invited selected customers to a series of preview events to see the first of the new Horsch Leeb 8.300PT 8,000-litre self-propelled sprayers to arrive in the UK.

Other benefits of moving to individual wheel motors include adjustable ride height, and a tighter turning circle. Adjustable track width will be available.

Ease of use

Latest self-propelled sprayer features at recent customer days New Horsch Leeb self-propelled sprayers featured at customer days organised by Claas dealer Manns. David Williams was there. Two new high specification selfpropelled sprayers were announced by Horsch Leeb in late 2019; with a choice of 6,000- or 8,000-litre tank capacities replacing the previous single PT280 8,000-litre model. Latest Leeb 8.300 PT 8,000-litre and 6.300 PT 6,000-litre versions share few components with their predecessor, so interest from potential Horsch Leeb users as well as those using the current machine has been considerable. The Manns customer days were well attended as the first full production version of the new sprayer to enter the UK was displayed. “The PT280 has been very popular with professional users, and the new models have an improved design and additional features, which increase efficiency and make them even more user-friendly,” explained Horsch Leeb sprayer specialist Matthew Smith. “Having a choice of tank capacities

will be welcomed by dealers and customers and we believe that the new, smaller 6,000-litre version will be popular.”

High-spec sprayers Apart from the tank, the two new sprayers are identical. The 6,000-litre tank is made from plastic, whereas the larger 8,000-litre version is stainless steel with a painted finish. The cab is from Claas and a new ErgoControl armrest houses all the main controls including a multi-function joystick with customisable function buttons. Headland management is a new feature, allowing pre-set operating sequences to be programmed and activated at the touch of a button. This includes automatically selecting pre-set cruise speeds, switching boom sections and raising the boom for each headland turn, then reversing the sequence to

recommence spraying. Factory-supplied control terminals include the Horsch Touch 1200 or TopCon X35, but increased compatibility with other major brands means most commonly used systems for auto-steer and section control can also be installed. The new sprayers share an FPT 310hp power unit. This produces more power than the previous PT280 and drive to the wheels is through an efficient hydrostatic transmission to individual wheel motors replacing mechanical drive. The new PowerGear drive system allows infinite speed control from 0–50kph and automatic torque distribution between the wheels makes the most of available grip. There are two transmission levels – standard PowerGear, and HighPowerGear with up to 18 per cent more torque at the wheels than the previous PT280’s mechanical drive.

A new operator station includes an external touch pad for automatic filling and washing functions and a 52-litre induction hopper. The hopper has upper and lower rinsing nozzles to achieve quick mixing of liquids and granules. Automatic filling programmes include the ability to slow or pause filling at any pre-set tank level with pump speed adjustment from 10–100 per cent, allowing time for preparing complex mixes. For simple fills such as liquid fertiliser, the high capacity 1,000-litre/ min stainless steel pump and standard three-inch intake can achieve a full tank in just eight minutes. There is a range of automatic cleaning programmes from simple flushing to a thorough wash-out, with sequential air purging clearing fluids from the tank to the nozzles. A thorough tank and system clean is achieved in just 13 minutes, but the user can also specify boom tube and nozzle cleaning when a full clean isn’t required. A handy new feature is the ability to clean the filters while the sprayer is full. A cut-off mode shuts off the liquid supply isolating the filter, allowing blockages to be easily cleared.

Popular boom options Horsch Leeb sprayers are known for superb boom performance and the same boom options are available for

Known for innovation and quality Pictured at the event are Claas Manns Thursford depot area sales manager Thomas English (on left) and Spaldwick depot area sales manager Ben Broughton. “We were both working for Claas Manns before we took on the Horsch franchise in early 2017, and the response from customers to us being able to supply the brand was extremely positive,” explained Thomas. “It’s also encouraged farmers we weren’t dealing with previously to make contact to see what we offer, and we have gained a lot of additional Claas business as a result.” Ben agrees: “The Horsch brand is known for innovation and build quality and there are products in the range for all types and sizes of enterprise, from smaller family farms to large estates. Chemical application is increasingly expensive, and for all sizes of farm the priority is to get as much of the chemical as possible on to the target. Horsch sprayers have industryleading technology to ensure this happens, but it’s the incredibly stable boom and 25cm nozzle spacing that impresses most.” Ben said the most popular boom size in his area is now 36m, for both

trailed and selfpropelled machines, and he has seen many farms move from smaller selfpropelled sprayers to 6,000-, 7,000- or 8,000-litre trailed models. “Both new self-propelled models are creating considerable interest, and the variable track width option adds appeal for contractors, vegetable growers and those with potatoes and other root crops. “Horsch is always pushing technology to the next level and, as a family firm with its own farm, it knows just what the market needs.”

Machinery the company’s ranges of trailed and self-propelled models. Widths up to 42m are available with 25 or 50cm nozzle spacing, and boom stability and height control options include Boom Control ProPlus, which makes it possible to spray at less than 40cm above the target, even at high travel speeds. Production of the new sprayers

started in January this year, with the first deliveries to UK farms expected this month. Feedback from the Claas Manns customer event was extremely positive and, between the dealer’s depots across East Anglia and the south-east, several machines have been ordered and there is a long list of requests for on-farm demonstrations. FG

Pictured with the new sprayer are (l-r) Horsch sprayer specialist Matthew Smith; Claas Manns general sales manager Chris Chilvers; Horsch UK general manager Stephen Burcham; Horsch Leeb applications systems managing director Theo Leeb, and Claas director of retail operations Richard Vaughan.

Top specification boom Claas dealer Manns Kent sales representative Ross Leach (on left) is pictured at the open day with Claas Manns Market Harborough depot manager Stephen Hiller. “Our most popular Horsch product so far has been the Sprinter 6ST drill, as it allows growers to successfully establish crops even in a wet season,” explained Ross. “The latest version with twin hoppers for grain and fertiliser has proved particularly popular with customers. Trailed sprayers supplied include a 6,000-litre Leeb 6 LT and an 8,000-litre Leeb 8 GS and both are equipped with 25cm nozzle spacing and CCS Pro automated filling and cleaning functions. Horsch sprayers are definitely becoming more popular in our trading area. They are known for build quality and accuracy and growers are willing to invest to have the right machine. It’s also apparent that although customers often expect Horsch products to be significantly more expensive than competitor versions, they are actually surprisingly affordable, including specification levels to suit most users and price points.” Stephen said that in the three years since Manns took on the Horsch franchise, the Market Harborough and Spalding depots have each supplied quite a few PT280 self-propelled sprayers. “They all have the top specification boom for its incredible stability, which ensures accurate application even at high speeds,” he explained. “We have always prided ourselves on the unbeatable back-up for Claas products, and now the same level of service is available for Horsch machines, too.”

Thumbs up for self-propelled beet chaser J Riley Beet Harvesters recently supplied the country’s first two self-propelled Vervaet Beet Eater chasers to UK contractors. With particularly tricky conditions during this season’s sugar beet campaign, the chasers have already proven themselves invaluable, the company says. The Beet Eater chaser is based on a reconditioned Vervaet Beet Eater 625 or 925 harvester, which J Riley says provides the ideal base machine and offers the added benefit of keeping costs at a sensible level. Nottinghamshire-based contractors J.P. Plowright & Son were the first in the country to snap one up. Ed Plowright says: “It travels much better than tractors

and trailers, going where they won’t, and it rides well too. It leaves the field in better shape, and there are no ruts underneath the beet heap, which is especially important when making one for a Maus. Although this year’s conditions were part of the reason for purchasing it, it will definitely be useful in drier conditions too. Previously the only Vervaet chaser available was mounted on a Hydro Trike, which didn’t really appeal to us, and this machine complements our 925 harvester which has been performing very well. Earlier this year in drier conditions we lifted 103 acres in two fields in 16 hours, which was 3,400 tonnes of beet. We didn’t rush, just stayed at 8kph all day and never stopped.” FG

Flach & Le-Roy Ltd â€“ Crop/Woodchip Drying Systems Founded in 1993 by Richard Flach and Owen Le-Roy, together the partners have over 50 years experience in the crop drying and storage business. Their speciality is high quality drive-on flooring and box-store ventilation and conditioning systems. Based on the near-ambient drying method Flach & Le-Roy's drive-on floor drying system is fully automated, having fans and burners controlled via humidity sensors in the air duct and fan house. The drying rate for cereals is up to half a percent every 24 hours and the fans deliver air through the crop at between 20 and 24 feet per minute depending on stack height. Offloading the grain trailer into the store is time and labour saving and the crop needs no stirring. More recent application of the drying-floor system is the preparation of woodchip for biomass heating systems. Our system typically supports a 200Kw boiler drying 40 tonnes of woodchip at 1.5m deep from 40% to 25% moisture content over 2 to 3 days.

Lincs dealer open day success, despite ideal weather for drilling With local fields just about dry enough for spring drilling, many exhibitors at the G&J Peck Spalding depot annual open day feared attendance would suffer but, with orders placed and many enquiries for follow-up, the day was judged a great success. David Williams was there. From its five depots in Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk, G&J Peck Ltd looks after customers across the east of England and East Anglia. Key brands include New Holland, Case IH and JCB, with Case IH sales and service through the dealer’s Pecks AgriTrac-branded depots. Key complementary franchises include Amazone and Krone, along with Larrington Trailers, Claydon Drills, Knight, Cousins, Monosem, Suton, Lynx, Teagle, Garford, Honda, Horstine Farmery, Stocks Ag, Stihl and MitchellRowlands. The dealer’s trading area includes vegetable and root crop producers and many potato and onion growers, and the Spalding depot is the UK headquarters for AVR and Dezeure trailers, for which the dealer is the main UK importer.

Excellent support “As in previous years we were extremely well supported by our valued suppliers and customers, who continue to make this an important annual event in our calendar,” commented G&J Peck director and New Holland brand manager Stewart Barnett. “The whole G&J Peck team contributes a lot of time and effort preparing for the big day and it really makes it worthwhile when customers turn

out to support us. A big thank you to everyone who attended! “While the current climate continues to challenge our industry, we were delighted with the event’s success. Our major brands all reported very good enquiry levels with genuine new orders taken through the day. Our area sales managers were busy, and have many sales leads to follow up during the coming weeks. Our parts and service teams were on hand to discuss special offers on anything from purchases of powered tools to the booking of winter services. The parts area was very busy with customers taking advantage of our ‘On the Day Offers’, and Wellington boot sales were predicted to break all records!” he added. “We now need nature to be kind over the coming weeks with enough dry weather to allow our customers to conclude any outstanding root crop harvests and get through the spring drilling and planting season with minimal disruption,” Stewart concluded. FG

Tractor order made on the day One of several tractors ordered at the open day was this New Holland T7.260 Stage 5 model, which replaces a T7.250. The new tractor will join the fleet of farmers A&J Neal based at Ring’s End, near Wisbech, Cambs. The arable farm also operates a New Holland CX6080 combine and tractors including a T7-200, a TSA135 and a TS115. A Ford 7910 is also used occasionally. “Our tractors were all supplied through Peck’s Ramsey St Mary depot,” explained Andrew Neal. “The team does our servicing too – and service manager Phil Brown is excellent. We visited the open day with the objective of agreeing a deal for a new tractor.” Pictured are – in the seat James Neal, on the step Peck’s New Holland area sales manager Richard Greenacre, and in front New Holland area sales manager David Carver (on the left) and Andrew Neal.

The Pecks AgriTrac display of Case IH tractors included one of two Case IH Magnum AFS Connect models currently in the UK. The new Magnums will be available later this year and are equipped with class-leading technology allowing two-way data communication.

Machinery Usable capacity for larger tools Lynx products exhibited included a new front weight block. The EcoBox Weight has been updated to include a heavy-duty steel lid, increasing security for tool storage. Area sales manager Roy Milburn explained that the box is proving popular as the 160-litre internal storage space offers usable capacity for larger tools and sundries. The version on show weighs 1,050kg, but there are versions up to 1,750kg, all with identical dimensions. “The box is made of composite material, so the weight depends on the density. It’s available in any colour and costs from just £1,410,” Roy explained.

A New Holland plough was on show, and implement sales manager Tim Lowden explained that interest in the company’s new range of cultivation products has been considerable, with sales achieved throughout the UK. “Our plough line-up includes models from 3–9f and mounted, semimounted or trailed. There are versions rated from 110–360hp which means we have something suitable for most farm types and sizes.” The model displayed at the Peck open day was a PXVS 5, 5f rated at 360hp and with hydraulic width adjustment.

Camera guidance an added option Demand for Monosem precision drills continues for establishment of sugar beet and maize crops, reported Kevin Irlam-Mowbray, who is pictured with a selection of models at the show. “We recently launched a precision seeder for cereals as we believe optimised plant spacing offers opportunities for better establishment and yields,” he added. “We have also recently added camera guidance as an option for our precision hoes. Our hoe range has been available for approximately 60 years, but camera guidance improves precision and allows higher working speeds making them suitable for larger-scale full farm weed control.”

First signal transmitter in Wales RTK signal provider RTK Farming had a stand at the event and many farmers and contractors in the region use the supplier’s services. Company news included its first signal transmitter due to be installed in Wales during February, with others to follow soon after. The company also sells and hires guidance products and dealer liaison manager Jeff Stephenson (left) is pictured with the portable GPS Rover RTK signal receiver which the company hires out for approximately £250 per week. The portable receiver is popular for mounting to vehicles such as ATVs, and compensates for speed and angle while moving. Director PJ Walker (PJ) is also pictured, with a handheld RTK Tablet LT700H which offers RTK accuracy for activities including mapping field boundaries, HLS-designated areas, drainage and irrigation projects. “It can also accurately measure heaps of any material, making it easier to estimate costs for transport, for example,” added ’PJ’.

Machinery

Demand for most efficient harvesters The open day included products from across AVR’s range, and sales manager Tom Lootens explained that Ge-force hook-tine rotary cultivators are in high demand. “Many growers are upgrading to larger models, and sales of folding six-row models are increasing in order to replace four-row machines,” he said. “With only one opportunity to establish potato crops each year, creating the best possible conditions for growth is essential. The hook-tine cultivator’s crumble effect is much better for the crop than the finish from a power-harrow.” Tom said a new trailed two-row bunker harvester will operate in the UK this season. “Customer demand is for the most efficient harvesters, and our bunker models can keep operating without a tractor and trailer alongside. They unload on the move so there is no need to stop and, for most of the time, the operator has only to concentrate on the harvesting rather than watching the trailer too.” Tom is pictured with AVR marketing and communications manager Tine Coopman.

Tractor simulator demonstrations Case IH area service manager Sam Davies is pictured demonstrating the features and benefits of Case IH AFS Connect on a tractor simulator, to farmer Andy Kirk and his daughter Jess. Andy farms at Brothertoft, Lincs and is also a self-employed machinery operator for several farms in the area. “We deal with Pecks and the team provides very good service,” he said.

Well-made, strong and reliable

Farmers David and Ralph Elmore are from Conington, Beds and were at the open day looking at Cousins cultivation machinery. “We use Cousins equipment on our all-arable farm and like it because it’s well made, strong and reliable and works well,” explained David. “When we have a bespoke requirement, the manufacturer is always happy to modify the design to suit our needs.” Pictured (l-r) David and his father Ralph, Cousins of Emneth managing director Laura Cousins and sales representative David Howard.

Guidance solutions explained Pecks AgriTrac precision farming specialist Rob Heanes was kept busy explaining capabilities and costs involved for a range of guidance solutions. New Trimble terminals on show included the XCN 1050 which comes with a built-in navigation controller making it easier and quicker to install. “The wet weather has resulted in lots of enquiries for entry-level systems, mainly to help tackle black-grass,” he said. “Where smaller farms haven’t had a guidance solution to ensure complete field coverage, this has shown up with patches of black-grass making it obvious where areas have been missed. The other key reason for interest from new users is to accurately map field boundaries and confirm field sizes.”

Also trying out the Case IH AFS Connect simulator were William and Charlotte Clark (above). The Clark family farms at Beech Tree Farm, Gosberton, near Spalding and operates a New Holland combine and other machinery supplied by Pecks.

Pictured trying out the cab of the new Magnum AFS Connect tractor was farmer Tony Fowler. Tony’s all-arable farm at Wisbech St Mary is contract-farmed, and he said he has a long history of dealing with Pecks.

Another open day visitor keen to try out the new Magnum AFS Connect cab was farmer and contractor John Ashmore. Trading as JW Ashmore Ltd, the company is based at Enderby, Leics, and the family farm grows wheat, oilseed rape, oats, barley and fodder beet. Contracting for local farms includes spraying, cultivations and other general field tasks. “We use a Magnum 310 and two Pumas,” John explained. “We also have a JCB Loadall, supplied by Pecks. I very much like the Magnum, which is used for primary cultivations. It’s great to drive with plenty of power for heavier tasks.”

Chosen for level of comfort Farmer and contractor Andrew Lawman is pictured with Pecks area sales manager Ken Beard and a new JCB Loadall AgriPro. Trading as Graham Lawman, Sawtry, the Cambsbased family farm has a suckler beef enterprise using Limousin bulls, and arable crops which are mainly cereals. The business is also a forage merchant supplying hay and straw bales and offers a contract baling service. Three Loadalls are operated and a recent purchase is a new 536-95 AgriPro which is due for delivery shortly. “We use JCB because it’s a good product and the back-up from Pecks is excellent,” Andrew explained. “We tend to buy a new one every three or four years which then does most of the work, and the workload reduces as the models become older. The newest averages 1,700 hours per year, while the oldest works just 600–700 hours per year. They are used all year round, and we run five balers producing 15,000t of forage annually. “We also run three Fastracs including two 4240s and an 8310, which were chosen for their level of comfort, especially while working with our bale chaser. Four-wheel steer is a big advantage for our triple mowers too. G&J Peck also supplies our combine – we operate a New Holland,” he added.

Tipping trailers in high demand Larrington trailers are in high demand according to manufacturer Richard Larrington who is pictured (on the right) with Derby-based agricultural contractor Lee Gilbert. “We sell higher numbers of tipping trailers every year,” explained Richard. “We used to be known for supplying direct to end users, but since we set up our agreement with Pecks through which the dealer is responsible for sales in its area and we provide back-up, this has worked well and now we work on a similar basis with dealers in other regions. “We have two standard trailers – the Harvester, with a half-pipe design allowing it to release its load easily from a shallow tip angle making it ideal for low buildings, and the Majestic which is a heavy-duty contractors’ trailer to withstand the most demanding work environments.” Trading as Lee Gilbert Agri Services, Lee deals with Pecks for JCB Fastracs, but was at the open day to view Larrington trailers. “We run forage harvesters and specialise in slurry applications, and we need extra trailers. This was an ideal time to find out more about the Larrington products.”

Up to 600m of hose for popular model Suffolk-based MitchellRowlands displayed its Drainjetter field drain cleaning and clearing products. “Sales are increasing,” explained managing director Graham MitchellRowlands who is pictured with one of the machines. “The recent wet weather has highlighted that there will be advantages this spring where drains have been maintained and kept clear, including the ability to carry out field tasks sooner and better conditions for crop establishment. Our professional specification 500m model with full remote control is currently the most popular, and it can take up to 600m of hose.”

Franchise proved successful Mowers, rakes, tedders and square balers from Krone’s range were displayed and sales enquiries were from new and existing customers, explained territory sales manager Eddie Caulfield. Pecks took on the franchise in 2015 and Eddie said that the move has proved extremely successful. “The Pecks team supports the products well, and customers can rely on the service and back-up. Recent interest has been across the range, but the Big Pack 1290 XDP high density, high output baler is generating most enquiries from larger farms and contractors.” Eddie is pictured with a Krone Swadro tedder which was sold at the open day.

Knowledgeable team, great support Pictured with the latest Amazone Pantera 4503 self-propelled sprayer are (l-r) technical support engineer Chris Bendall, farmer Stephen Pugh and Amazone area sales manager Rupert Batho. Trading as S&S Pugh & Son, based at Low Grounds Farm, Swineshead, Stephen explained that he runs a three-year-old Pantera which was purchased when the farm’s tramline width changed from 24 to 36m. “We liked the Amazone product and it’s proving excellent while working approximately 1,000 hours per year. Amazone’s team is knowledgeable and gives great support, and the back-up from Pecks is very good too,” he added.

Machinery Handlers used almost every day The machinery fleet operated by farmers and contractors JR Naylor & Sons includes a special edition JCB Loadall 560-80, and a New Holland combine, both supplied by Pecks. “We have operated five or six Loadalls since moving to the brand many years ago,” explained Robert Naylor who is pictured (right) with Pecks area sales manager John Northen. “Our handlers did more in the past when we had cattle, but they are still used almost every day for handling muck, fertiliser and grain.

Assured of excellent back-up Pictured inspecting the latest JCB Loadall are (l-r) farmer Michael Fisher with farm machinery operators Philip and Colin Hill. Trading as Terrington Hall Farm, Michael’s all-arable enterprise is at Thorney, Cambs and the machinery fleet includes a 2008-model JCB Loadall 536-70 which is used mainly for grain handling and general farm tasks, and a Fastrac 4220. “We do a lot of business with Pecks, mainly because we are always assured of excellent back-up,” explained Michael.

Ideal solution for large grass areas A Honda TRX420 Fourtrax ATV with a Logic trailed flail mower created considerable interest at the event. With farm woodland, paddocks and conservation areas likely to remain soft and vulnerable to damage from heavier machines this spring, the ATV and mower provides an ideal solution for those with large areas of grass to maintain.

Drill design benefits highlighted Pecks took on the Claydon franchise in 2014 and Claydon managing director Jeff Claydon (right), who was at the open day with territory sales manager for the east and south of England Taig Norman, said that the range of drills has been popular. “This season has highlighted the benefits of our drill design,” he explained. “Demonstrations carried out in the autumn in testing conditions have resulted in excellent crop establishment and healthy-looking plants as we come out of the wet winter. Our design includes wheels which run on undisturbed soil, so they travel well without smearing or blocking. The tines are well spaced and there is nowhere for trash or sticky soils to become trapped and block.” Jeff said that sales of mounted drills – available in 3–6m working widths, have been particularly high as farmers try to minimise headland damage.

Drills & Direct Drilling The 6m Aurock drill from Kuhn direct drilling into a cover crop.

Power on the land Seed drill progress is the topic for this month’s Power on the Land, brought to you as always by Mike Williams. Increased output for crop establishment has been a long-term trend in seed drill development, achieved partly by design improvements such as bigger hopper capacities and working widths, but also by drills that require reduced seedbed preparation. Last year’s addition to the Kuhn range was the Aurock triple-disc drill designed for use with either direct drilling or minimum tillage crop establishment. The working width is 6.0m, the power recommendation is 180hp and hopper capacity options are 3,500-litre for seed only, increasing to 5,000-litre for the split version for seed and fertiliser. Options also include single or dual metering, and the opening discs can be either 460mm diameter with a corrugated surface for use in prepared seedbeds, or the embossed 430mm discs recommended for dealing with large amounts of crop residue. The new Aurock pneumatic seed drill is Isobus compatible and the drill control during headland turns is operated by push-buttons. Drill choices from Kuhn also include the Premia mounted mechanical series in 2.5–4.0m widths, the Integra and Sitera combination drills up to 4.0m wide and Megant series mounted drills and Venta trailed drills to work with min till crop establishment. The ability to work with a wide

range of crop establishment methods is a feature of the Hybrid series from Claydon Drills. Available as the Hybrid T trailed version with working widths from 3.0–8.0m, and the mounted M series drills are 3.0–6.0m wide, they are designed to be used after plough-based conventional cultivations or with minimum tillage crop establishment methods, and they can also direct drill into stubble. Transport widths are either 2.9 or 3.0m and hopper capacities for the Claydon drills range from 1,750-litre for a 3.0m mounted drill to a maximum of 5,500-litre for the widest trailed version. Tractor power recommendations for the trailed drills are 50–65hp per m width, and the minimum for the M series mounted drills is 50hp per m. PowerDisc coulters designed to provide a consistent sowing depth feature on the options list for the Serto SC direct drill in the Horsch seed drills range. Horsch offers a choice of seed drills in the high output sector, and the no-till Serto SC is available in 10 or 12m widths and a specification that includes a 6,000-litre hopper with a 50/50 split for seed and fertiliser. The Horsch PowerDisc coulter with operating pressures up to 320kg can also be used on the Avatar SD single disc series designed for no-till drilling, with widths up to 12m. The top selling series’ from the Horsch range are the

Pronto disc type drills and the Sprinter models equipped with tines, and both are available with up to 12m working width and can be equipped with the PowerDisc option. The new trading name introduced for Lincolnshire-based Sly Agri is Horizon Agriculture, and their focus will be on equipment for conservation and regenerative agriculture, with the emphasis on the development of new seed drills and strip tillage machinery. The first Horizon product was introduced earlier this year when the company announced a new seed drill tested on the Sly family’s 300ha farm. It is designed to follow either no-till or minimum tillage crop establishment and the advanced features include the SeederForce sensing system that automatically adjusts the force on the press wheel to maintain a consistent seed placement depth, regardless of variations in the soil. One of the special features on the Rapid series drills from Vaderstad is the coulter, designed to maintain an even pressure with effective contour following to achieve a consistent seed depth for uniform crop emergence. Each packer wheel controls the drilling depth of two coulters, each coulter has its own disc arm with maintenance-free rubber suspension, and the coulters have hardened steel tips and tungsten side plates for wear resistance. Rapid drills are available from 3.0 to 8.0m wide with a 90hpplus tractor recommendation for the smallest model. The Spirit pneumatic drills feature Vaderstad’s TriForce coulter suspension system for seed placement accuracy. Spirit working widths start at 3.0m with a 2,800-litre hopper capacity and a 100hp tractor requirement, and the hopper capacity on 9.0m drill is Rapid series drills from Vaderstad have 12.5m row spacing and are available in 4, 6 and 8m working widths.

The Hybrid T6c drill with a 6m working width is a recent addition to the Claydon range.

5,000 litres, requiring 170hp. Kockerling drills and cultivation equipment are distributed by Hampshire-based Samagri, and the range includes the Jockey drill, based on the Kockerling Allrounder cultivator. The cultivator has 32 spring tines arranged in four rows 16.6cm apart, and there is a generous 60cm of clearance under the frame. The Allrounder has a relatively low power requirement, but it makes the Jockey suitable for drilling into ploughed soil or for mulch seeding. The Jockey has a 6.0m working width reducing to 3.0m for transport, and the standard specification includes radar control to regulate the seeding rate. Samagri is also the distributor for Virkar equipment, including the pneumatic direct drill. The drill is currently available in 4.5, 5.0 and 6.0m working widths, with wider versions in development. The specification includes 5,300-litre hopper capacity which can be seed only or with a 65/35 division for seed and fertiliser, and liquid fertiliser equipment is also available. Sowing rate is between 2 and 380kg/ha and the drill can be equipped for 19 or 25cm row spacing. The seeding mechanism includes a rotary cutting disc mounted on an arm with hydraulic pressure to produce a clean slot and a mini tilth ahead of each seeding tine, and the tine is followed by a v-shaped double press wheel to close the slot.

Drills & Direct Drilling Strip-till drill reaps benefits for young farmer Since deciding to switch establishment method, young Herefordshire famer Ally Hunter-Blair (right) has seen marked improvements in soil health and benefitted from a wider drilling window. Ally was on the lookout for a new establishment system when he came across the Mzuri Pro-Til. One successful demo later, Weir End Farm took delivery of its first Mzuri drill last spring â€“ part funded by the Rural Leader grant. Areas of the farm were traditionally used to grow potatoes and Ally is keen to restore a more

resilient soil structure to the previously heavily cultivated soils. In the first year since adopting the Mzuri strip tillage system, he has seen noticeable improvements to soil health, as well as a large increase in the farmâ€™s formerly-depleted worm populations. He puts this down to the reduced tillage method of the strip-till drill, which only cultivates a narrow band of soil in which to place the seed, leaving the rest of the ground untilled and a thriving habitat for worms and mycorrhizal fungi. The first autumn since adopting the new system was certainly

challenging, Ally says. With land adjacent to the River Wye, burst banks and flooded fields became a regular occurrence, but he found the new system allowed him to get all his drilling finished. Under previous systems, the need to cultivate ahead of sowing would have meant only a fraction of the autumn drilling would have been completed, due to relying on very limited weather windows. The Pro-Til has effectively allowed the farm to widen its drilling window. By removing prior cultivations, it travels on structured stubble which naturally dries out quicker. Machinery travels

better and it allows them to make the most of opportunities to drill in difficult seasons. In addition to saving a machinery pass, the farm has seen significant savings in wearing metal. The sandy soils of the Herefordshire farm are known for giving wearing metal a tough time but Ally has been pleased with how the Pro-Tilâ€™s tungsten coulters have worn. Going into his second year, he is confident that the new establishment method will continue to deliver and build on the benefits seen so far. FG

Bigger sizes in development for versatile drill The Virkar Dynamic drill is currently available in 4.5, 5, 6 and 7m working widths, with bigger sizes in development for the future, says UK importer Samagri Ltd. According to the company, this direct drill offers high precision and quality sowing, with the most advanced no tillage system on the market. With a modular design, it is possible to add a variety of extras to suit individual needs.

The seed hopper carries 5,300 litres with an option to split the tank 65 per cent seed, 35 per cent fertiliser, running through two metering systems. A third hopper can be specified. The Free Drive steering axle is designed to provide new freedom when sowing on a curved path, and the system frees up tension in the coulters arms so less stress is put on components. Fully Isobus compatible, the

machine can run through any tractor terminal and do variable rate drilling if required. It is very easy to pull, Samagri adds, because of its low disturbance, which means a 6m drill can be pulled by 180hp. A variety of coulters are available alongside the standard, for very small seeds and beans. LED work lights and tank lights, a toolbox calibration bag and scales come as standard with the machine.

TRITON

THE CUTTING EDGE OF WET SEASON CROP ESTABLISHMENT The Triton side-press seed drill stands alone at the cutting edge of versatile crop establishment. For the first time, the farmer is now in control of the drilling programme even in adverse conditions. Patent approve in 2019, the Triton allows crop establishment in all weathers and into all soils, lifting the seeded zone by non-inversion vertical tillage to avoid seed rot and anaerobic seed beds. The Triton is NOT a band seeder and the crop is sown in maximum-yielding 6-inch rows with a 6-inch deep rooting, air and drainage slot running directly beneath every seed. Seed is placed on a ‘seed terrace’ in front of the side-press closing blades. The side-press blades then move the field back across onto the seed, securing it from slugs and leaving a clear passage for the seedling to get to the surface. The Triton gives all the advantages of direct drilling but with the added advantages of top soil aeration and drainage.

Drills & Direct Drilling Cultivation equipment for all budgets With a large range of new and used machinery available, plus nationwide delivery, MPE says it has a solution for almost any budget and any size farm or smallholding. The Cousins Swiftine Harrow (pictured) is the perfect example of a scalable machine, available in either 4, 5 or 6m working widths. It has been custom-built to withstand the demands of West Country farmland and, as a result, it is a strong, reliable one-pass cultivator, the company says. MPE stocks a full range of Cousins, Teagle and Maschio cultivation equipment, including rolls, presses, packers, drills, cultivators and harrows. For those thinking of upgrading, MPE also welcomes part exchange. The company says it is “so much more than engineering,” however, and its country store stocks everything customers may need for farms, smallholdings, leisure pursuits, pets, poultry and equine, as well as farm maintenance, servicing and parts for a diverse range of equipment. FG

Conversion coulters now available for additional drill Minimal disruption is key to direct drilling, according to wearing part manufacturers J. J. Metcalfe & Son Ltd, whose range of low disturbance direct drill coulters now fit the Amazone Cayena drill. “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,” the company says. “This no-till approach also helps prevent black-grass establishment by leaving dormant seeds buried well below the surface, unable to germinate.” J. J. Metcalfe & Son’s range of coulters was designed to fit Seedhawk

drills or to innovatively convert Horsch CO/Sprinter series, Simba freeflow and now the Amazone Cayena drills, into direct drills. The coulters have a narrow, replaceable tungsten carbide tipped blade which cuts through the soil, retaining the organic matter on the surface and posing minimal threat to the worm populace. Ensuring accurate seed placement, the blade cuts a slot to place the seed directly beneath the residues of the previous crop, whilst leaving virtually no surface disturbance. The company says it provides an affordable step into direct drilling and maintaining soil health, which should, in turn, increase crop yield. FG

Martin Pears Engineering Ltd offers a broad range of cultivation equipment and supplies to keep farmers and growers doing what they do best. The company says its well-trained advice team are always on hand to make sure customers find exactly what they need.

Drills & Direct Drilling Range of drills provides versatile offering Kockerling’s three drill ranges include the Jockey, Ultima and Vitu. The Jockey (pictured) is a simple heavy-duty tine drill, with four rows of Hercules tines, 16.6cm row spacing, and 60cm under-frame clearance for working in large amounts of crop residues. This machine is ideal for working in min till and ploughbased systems, as well as direct seeding on lighter soils, according to UK importer Samagri. It is available in 6, 9, and 10m versions and comes with front cross board as standard – wheel track eradicators are optional. Ultima offers even sowing depth at high speeds, controlled hydraulically by a pre-press wheel that is located in front of each

tine. This provides consistent seeding depth, even on the most uneven seed beds. Row spacing is 17.5cm with a 50mm band of seed. Each row is followed by an STS ring, which ensures good soilto-seed contact. It is available in 3, 4, 6, 8 and 9m working widths. Finally, Vitu is equipped with a two-row compact disc harrow and strong levelling board in front or behind the disc harrow. The two-row wheel packer ensures the machine can keep working even in marginal conditions, while the double disc coulters allow seed to be placed very precisely – even at high working speeds. It is available in 3, 4 and 6m, and 6m grain and fertiliser. Depth control can be either mechanical or hydraulic. FG

The newly updated Lemken Solitair 9 pneumatic seed drill in action.

’Perfect seed placement’ with new design The Lemken drilling technology product range was redesigned with the recent launch of the Solitair 25 and Solitair 23 seed drills and the Azurit precision seed drill. The Solitair 9 pneumatic seed drill has now also been updated, with a new look too. Both handling and operating comfort have been improved, while the seed metering and placement system with the proven parallel double disc coulters and depth control wheels remain unchanged. The redesigned Solitair 9 also features an updated hopper design and lid. The new fan, which has been fitted to the Solitair 25, is not only extra silent, but also consumes

impressively little oil. The access step has also been improved and the access grille can now be folded up to make the metering unit and calibration tray more easily accessible. The pre-emergence markers and harrows of the Solitair 25 can also be fitted to the Solitair 9. The single harrows are mounted to the rear seeding coulters to reliably cover two seed rows and the optional compact harrow is easy to lift and can adjust to a wide range of different conditions. The redesigned Solitair 9 seed drill will be available in limited quantities from summer 2020. FG

Jockey 600 The Tine Drill 4 rows of tines at 16,6 cm row spacing and 60 cm underbeam-clearance for perfect trash flow in min-till conditions. 2800 ltr seed hopper with radar-speed-controlled metering for precise seed rates. Only 140 hp needed to haul the 6 m working width using 5 ltr/ha fuel. Unique Double-STS-roller gives targeted reconsolidation of the soil just where the seed sits.

Drills & Direct Drilling

Openers “make good drill even better” Sudbury-based parts company Pan Anglia says its Dutch Openers have proven popular with farmers, with one customer saying it makes their drill easier to use. With a keen focus on the latest crop establishment techniques, direct farm parts specialist Pan Anglia says it is looking to build on its success as a supplier of Dutch Openers, which have so far been successful with Horsch CO and Sprinter drills.

“

Dutch coulters reduce draft and make the drill easier to use. Pan has been involved in supplying Dutch Openers for nearly 10 years and has a depth of knowledge and experience of the system. Sales and marketing director Paul Bray says: “The Dutch Opener has proven very successful in converting conventional tine drills into highly effective min-till systems with their unique low disturbance,

low draught coulter system. “We have found that the Dutch Opener system has proved extremely successful in converting Horsch CO and Sprinter drills and we are currently working on conversions for other makes.” Farm manager James Stevenson, of Brian Rice farms in Northampton, has found the system makes their drill easier to use: “We’ve used Dutch Openers for the last two seasons, with the 1in on our Horsch Sprinter drill for direct drilling beans and the 5in coulters for drilling wheat,” he explains. “Our experience is that the Dutch coulters reduce draft and make the drill easier to use… quite simply they’ve made a good drill even better.” Alongside its success with Dutch, Pan is working with farm equipment supplier Tillso to support its unique and patented Sabre Tine system. The company says this partnership draws together the extensive and

Drainage & Irrigation

50 years of research and development The hose reel system developed by Bauer around 50 years ago has been improved, refined and expanded in terms of scale and capacity into today’s comprehensive Rainstar range, comprising almost 130 model variations to suit small- and largescale crop irrigation requirements. The Rainstar T series is a compact range of universal reel irrigators with integrated hydraulic leg supports, two-wheel chassis with adjustable wheel track, and the energy-saving TVR 18 and TVR 20 drive turbines operating through a Bauer four-speed gearbox. At the top end of the scale, the Bauer professional Rainstar E series covers a wide range of highperformance outputs, culminating in the E55 XL that can cover up to 7.7ha per run and twice that area over two runs by rotating the turntable reel from a central position in the field. The turbine’s design and precision assembly ensures it operates with very little water pressure loss, while the Vario variable output nozzle exploits pressure available by delivering full stream flow over the turbine’s impeller at all settings. In combination with the computer control system installed, the variable water nozzle maintains a constant hose retraction speed from the beginning to the end of the strip.

This robust hardware, which includes a fully galvanised chassis and Bauer’s own PE pipe with high tensile strength and shape stability, is operated through cutting-edge electronic control and monitoring systems, including the Ecostar 4300 and 6000 on-board controllers, and Bauer’s SmartRain online irrigation management system. WIth SmartRain, reel moves can be anticipated, scheduled and handled in a timely manner; similarly, with alerts actively issued whenever any problems arise, remedial action can be taken promptly to minimise downtime andadisruption to irrigation schedules. “Remote monitoring of our Rainstar irrigators and diesel pumps can save growers and managers a lot of time while bringing greater efficiency to the management of these systems,” says Bauer UK & Ireland sales manager, Adrian Tindall. “It also enables managers to focus on other tasks safe in the knowledge that their irrigation systems are being monitored at all times while also recording valuable information.” This element of SmartRain automatically saves water usage records and details of individual irrigation system operations, providing data on soil conditions, soil moisture levels, and the size and shape of different fields, and enabling managers to optimise water-use while minimising operating costs. SmartRain requires a solarpowered GPS controller, mounted on the chassis of a Rainstar reel irrigator or the Universal PRO-G control unit on the central tower of a centre-pivot system, while the app is available for Apple iOS and Android devices. With the SmartRain mobile device App, irrigation managers and operators have information on the progress of irrigation sessions at their fingertips.

QUIVOGNE UK

“On farms with multiple irrigators, status reports from all machines can be received by whoever is in overall charge to help organise day-to-day operation of irrigation equipment d staff,” explains Adrian. “But, to avoid information overload amongst individual team members, their app can be set to receive status messages only from the particular machines they look after; a lot of time can be saved from simply knowing which of several irrigators will finish next and when.” FG

Rainstar E55 XL is the largest reel irrigator in the Bauer range.

Drainage & Irrigation

Flood prevention works within an environmental habitat

As a water and land drainage management specialist, Fen Group was approached by a local Parish Council to help with flooding issues on the Dam Brook, which ran through a local housing estate. Here’s a brief run-down of how they managed the project. On the company’s first visit, it was evident that several residential properties had been flooded on two previous occasions. After a site and environmental survey, several control measures were applied and a maintenance programme was produced that was tailored to the specific requirements. The issues addressed were embankment erosion at the toe, and collapse

during periods of high flood water. Despite being in the middle of a housing estate, the location had considerable wildlife habitats and this was fundamental when designing the works. The project approach was to eliminate the risk to properties, while enhancing the habitat at the same time. The embankments in some areas were re-shaped and supported using

wooden piles – this was carried out by placing coir rolls at the foot of the embankment, not only as a support but also to encourage the re-growth of vegetation and provide habitat for the water vole population. The embankments had an erosion blanket installed to the high-risk areas, then the embankments were top soiled prior to seeding with a specialist mix. Some areas of the Dam Brook were so badly eroded that, in the long term, they could have potentially caused subsidence to several nearby properties, so alternative measures had to be taken including installing gabion

baskets to prevent further erosion. This was approached by cutting into the embankment to maintain the channel width and installing a new granite base, then installing gabion baskets together with an anti-erosion blanket. As a result, after heavy rainfall over the winter period, this proved successful and stabilised the embankment in the areas of high risk. FG

Mole draining – bringing soil back to life Soil has a vital and longterm impact on productivity, profitability and capital value of the land, and we need to make sure that we are protecting this important asset for the future generations as well as for now. With a move towards more sustainable farming and land management, drainage and mole draining in particular are important factors in improving soil structure and reducing soil erosion on heavy clay soils, especially after the extreme trauma that the land has been through in the last couple of years. Mole draining can help bring the soil back to health, and this can be maintained by moling on a regular rotational basis. The Maidwell Moler range

is designed and built to an extremely high standard to keep going in trashy conditions, and machines do not block up like conventional beam molers. Hankins Engineering Ltd has over 35 years experience in the manufacture of mole drainers claims it knows what is needed to improve soil structure and produce a perfect mole. The Maidwell Moler range consists of robustly built single, twin and three leg machines, both mounted and trailed. These molers can withstand the largest hp tractors built today and are a life time purchase – the first Maidwell Moler built 37 years ago is still in work today. To prevent heaving problems, press wheels can be fitted to all types of machine. FG

Easy access to your field data is really important, so LoRAIN reports to your tablet, smartphone and laptop though our web portal FieldClimate, as well as the John Deere Operations Centre. iMetos claims that LoRAIN has significant advantages over alternative solutions. According

Miles Drainage Ltd contract manager, Andrew Wright, says signs of poor drainage maintenance have become more and more evident since the autumn rains started. The problem could be as simple as a blocked drain, or a ditch that has not been cleaned out for a while. With fewer full-time farm staff and more acres to farm, ditch and drain maintenance can easily become overlooked. For a drainage scheme to operate to its full potential, the outfalls need to be in good condition and have a suitable freeboard (the difference between the drain invert and the ditch bed). Drains which are hidden in the undergrowth need to be found,

The role of irrigation in fighting climate change Climate change will obviously have an impact on irrigation but conversely, irrigation also has a role to play in reducing the impacts of manmade climate change. Extreme weather, including longer dry periods and very heavy rainfall, mean water storage must be carefully managed and irrigation systems should be designed to make best use of stored water. Unfortunately, for economic reasons, the drift towards more efficient irrigation techniques will continue to be slower than necessary unless incentives improve, believes Adrian Colwill, managing director of respected irrigation equipment manufacturer, Briggs Irrigation. “One incentive may be lack of water. If there is not enough water, improvements to uniformity of application, droplet size, timing and irrigation infrastructure will become

essential to make better use of the water that is available. But in practice, wholesale change is unlikely unless growers are influenced by incentives such as legislation and financial support. In many cases there are efficiencies that could be introduced with existing systems and machinery.” In addition to improved application systems – such as use of irrigation booms in place of rainguns – developments in remote monitoring, analysis and management can improve efficiency. Modern digital control networks enable essential functions to be monitored and controlled from a mobile phone, tablet or PC. Briggs Irrigation is testing new ‘cloud based’ technology. In addition to remote control, the new systems integrate the management of pumps, hose reels and Briggs’ linear irrigation booms (pictured). FG

Drainage & Irrigation Wroot Water owner Anthony Hopkins.

Reducing the risks of irrigation work Do you ever consider the power of water pressure when you are irrigating? Have you ever had a hydrant top come off and had a near miss? Irrigation specialist Wroot Water says one of the hazards of working with water

at high pressure is the damage it causes when a pipe bursts. There is also a risk of injury if the hydrant top becomes disconnected when you open a hydrant in a pressurised main line pipe. The company says it is

committed to prioritising safety and with this in mind, it has begun modifying hydrants by putting a lever valve in the riser that is between

two flanges. This eliminates the need to be directly over the hydrant top when opening the hydrant, thereby reducing the risk of injury, the company says. FG

Wet autumn provides rapid payback on drainage investment “Our investment in a new land drainage scheme has made the difference between getting our potato crop harvested and leaving it in the ground to rot.” This observation was recently made by a farmer from Lincolnshire, who had invested in a comprehensive drainage scheme via William Morfoot Ltd in the same field in 2018. Morfoot managing director, Tim Sisson, commented further: “We have had a number of farmers advising that recent investment in drainage schemes will pay back the investment in a single season based on the way that last autumn went. With the tight work windows and problematic soil conditions, there were limited opportunities to get on the land through the whole autumn period. Drainage investment has

undoubtedly increased the size of work windows and delivered overall better soil recovery times than would otherwise have been present.” Investing in drainage during a dry time allows farms to reap the rewards when the weather turns. As well as delivering significantly higher yields though enhanced soil structures, land drainage also improves the timeliness for key arable operations, for example allowing harvesting or drilling to continue more quickly when weather conditions improve – even in catchy weather windows. Morfoot offers a comprehensive scheme design and installation service for new land drainage schemes. The company also provides ditch restoration and water course management services and operates across the whole of the UK. FG 70714

Porous filler keeps filling time down

#10 2.00mm mesh, as required by some regulatory agencies to provide protection to marine life such as eels and fish. The optional 12 or 240V power drive unit keeps the drum turning in slow moving currents. The filter can also be used in slurry or digestate lagoons, offering the livestock and agricultural industries a helpful solution when the separation of debris or solids contamination is required. The product is also available as the Gravity Riverscreen filter – this version of the filter can incorporate an electric driven pump, making it the ideal piece of kit for abstraction from an irrigation reservoir. FG

Riverscreen Filter is a rotating water-driven self-cleaning screen that reliably delivers irrigation water from as little as 4in deep, making it ideal for shallow water pumping. Available from Euromacchine – the official European distributor – Riverscreen is the ideal solution for operations in a reservoir, river or canal where weed or sand is a constant problem, the company says. The standard floating Riverscreen comes in five sizes, allowing flow rates from 40 –600m3/hr. Standard on all Riverscreen models is #8 304 2.38mm stainless steel mesh. Other sizes are also available upon request including

Farm Buildings

Farm & livestock buildings: Can you make improvements? Well-designed farm and livestock buildings can have a lasting impact on animal health and productivity, so it is worth looking at your current set up and investing in any necessary improvements. Sarah Kidby spoke to Riva Commercial about the benefits of insulation. Optimising livestock buildings can help to reduce disease, improve animal welfare and boost efficiency, as well as creating a better working environment for staff. While there are many factors to consider when it comes to good building design, AHDB states the three key environmental parameters are air speed, moisture and fresh air. Proper insulation and ventilation are needed to maintain a stable temperature and prevent condensation caused by the heat and moisture animals produce through their breath, sweat, urine and faeces. If heat is unable to leave the building, it will condense on cold surfaces inside, increasing humidity and making bedding cold and damp – creating a suitable environment for bacteria to thrive. Excess moisture in the air also escalates the risk of viruses and bacteria surviving outside the body, while reducing ambient temperature and increasing the need for bedding. As well as cutting down heating bills in winter and cooling costs in summer, insulation can reduce condensation on walls and ceilings by keeping surfaces warm.

Ideal temperature Cattle need to maintain a constant body temperature of around 38ºC, and this can be affected by air temperature, radiant temperature, wind speed and relative humidity, alongside animal factors such as size, feed level and type, and body condition. If temperatures fall below

the lower critical temperature (LCT – minus 15ºC), feed will be channelled away from growth and milk production to keep animals warm. Insulation is important for tackling draughts, which will decrease the LCT considerably and cause loss of heat energy. Ventilation is also needed to remove heat and moisture from the building. Conversely, above the upper critical temperature (UCT – 25ºC), cattle will sweat to dispel excess heat and may suffer heat stress. Dairy cows under heat stress reduce their feed intake, leading to lower milk production and reduced growth. This also has a detrimental effect on reproduction. If ambient temperatures rise above the UCT, Nadis suggests milk yields can fall by as much as 20 per cent. Increasing evidence indicates that even relatively low temperatures during the summer months in the UK can lead to reduced feed intakes, lower milk yields, impaired fertility and a greater risk of mastitis and embryonic loss. Relative humidity in the UK is frequently above 80 per cent in summer, according to Nadis, and nears 100 per cent in poorly designed winter accommodation, so the effects of heat stress could be a growing problem for dairy farmers. While there are many factors to consider when ensuring livestock buildings are fit for purpose, Riva Commercial says insulation is a key, cost effective way to not only reduce energy bills, but

Insulation solutions Riva Commercial installs Revivatherm closed cell spray foam insulation which, according to the company’s senior commercial partner Mark Mann, helps to maintain a stable temperature – keeping buildings warm in winter and cool in summer. Riva says the product can prevent overheating in summer, improves indoor air quality and offers protection from severe weather and flooding resistance. It also promises zero condensation and up to 60 per cent reductions in heat losses, cutting energy bills in half by reducing the need for heating in winter and fans in summer. Liquid installation allows access to critical, inaccessible or curved areas, sealing off gaps and air leaks, while stabilising and encapsulating asbestos and tin roofs – making them Class 1 fire retardent and up to 300 per cent more stable.

Farm Buildings Proud to supply British farmers Graham Heath Construction supplies steel framed buildings for the agricultural, industrial and equestrian industries and has grown significantly since its opening in 2003. The team can design, supply and fit a steel framed building for a customer as an ‘off-the-shelf’ design or a fully bespoke build, and will beat any genuine like-forlike quotation (T&Cs apply). Due to company expansion, Graham Heath Construction says it can now guarantee delivery in six to eight weeks from the date of order confirmation. The company is proud to supply

British farmers with their CE-marked steel framed buildings and to be a UK manufacturer, with all materials being manufactured on-site in South Cheshire. It also has a fleet of drivers for nationwide delivery. With a strong farming heritage, Graham Heath Construction understands the agricultural industry inside out and always strives to provide its customers with the highest quality, valuefor-money solution. From grain stores and livestock sheds to workshops and straw stores, they currently have several promotional offers running on a range of farm buildings. FG

Graham Heath Construction says it can provide customers with a range of high quality, value-for-money farm buildings, which can be delivered in just 6–8 weeks.

An economic alternative to under-floor ducts FloorVent under-floor ventilation, from manufacturer Martin Lishman, is a cost-saving cooling system for new floors, new stores, hopperbottomed bins and silos. It combines the benefits of grain pedestals and cooling fans with the need to make store handling and filling easier. Including a perforated pedestal tube with a conical cap to deflect grain during filling, the tube connects to an under-floor duct via a base plate in a recess in the concrete floor. When the store is empty, a drain cover placed over the recess leaves the floor completely multi-purpose. FloorVent suits deep grain

stores where logistics and safety considerations make moving fans between pedestals difficult. Key benefits include direct heat extraction, with hot air vents directly outside the building so there is no need for building extraction fans; and easier filling with less chance that ducts will move. When pushing up or levelling the grain, there is no tube protruding from the grain that could be damaged. Martin Lishman says installation of FloorVent is low cost and can be done in a fraction of the time of traditional under-floor systems. It combines cost-effective cooling with low capital cost per tonne, the company adds. FG

Farm Buildings

Farmers set up booming construction business

Essex farmers Will King and Johnnie Jiggens set up K & J Construction Ltd six months ago, after finding a cost-effective solution to their own building projects. Farmers Guide caught up with them to find out more. Since opening for business last year, K & J Construction said it has been overwhelmed by uptake from farmers and business “couldn’t be better”. Co-owner Will King, who is part of co-operative Wix Farms with

two other farmers, said they were looking to put up various sheds over the next two to three years, including potato and grain stores and cattle sheds. While exploring the best, most cost-effective solution, it was

recommended that they use their own skills and experience to design and construct the buildings, which led to a partnership with business manager Mark Finney. They wanted to provide a service for farmers, by farmers, using their knowledge of what is required of agricultural buildings, as they are not only providers of the service, but customers as well. Ultimately, they believe customers are looking for a fantastic service at a reasonable price, as well as the continuation of contact after the point of sale – dealing with the same contact throughout the process. Johnnie said that between them they have overseen the construction of many farm buildings on their own farms over the years – covering as much as 30,000 sq. ft – and while they do not fault the build quality of the companies they have used, much of the discussions were carried out over the phone, as opposed to face-to-face on the farm. K & J pride themselves on offering that personal, one-to-one service with their clients. With a full order book, the company has a variety of new projects

coming up, including cattle sheds, grain stores, cold stores, general purpose buildings and workshops. Plus, there is currently a growing demand for industrial units in their local area, they added. In addition to the design, construction and supply of agricultural, industrial and equestrian steel frame buildings, the company – which now has CE marking approval – offers to handle planning permission applications and provides industrial structural calculations. FG

Supplies for farm and livestock buildings Rhino Steel Cladding Limited supplies all major types of roofing sheets and wall cladding sheets, including galvanised steel, fibre cement and GRP fibreglass rooflights that provide a durable, long-lasting and maintenance-free investment for over 30 years. The company also supplies steel purlins for the framework of the building and all fixings, flashings and accessories. Fibre cement roofing sheets are perfect for farm and livestock

buildings, the company says, with excellent thermal properties to help keep a consistent temperature inside by absorbing the weather outside, preventing condensation problems. Perforated and ventilated steel cladding sheets are also well suited to these types of buildings, as they allow airflow and natural daylight through, as well as methane gas dispersal. Meanwhile, the GRP Fibreglass Roof Lights increase natural daylight inside, creating a better working and living

environment. The rooflights can be used on their own or in conjunction with any of the company’s steel or fibre cement roofing sheets. A delivery service is available throughout the UK on a 7–10 working day turnaround. Deliveries can also be collected from the West Midlands depot where a wide range of pre-cut profiled steel roofing sheets, wall cladding sheets, fibre cement sheets, rooflights, flashings, fixings and accessories are stocked.

Farm Buildings

Protecting your assets The importance of well designed, well-built buildings for agricultural use is often hard to quantify in terms of the impact on business. A poorly-ventilated shed can impact the growth of stock, leading to reductions in productivity and therefore increases in mortality, hindering profits. Movement and handling of stock between buildings and competition for feed and water should also be carefully considered when looking at building or redesigning an existing building. Investment in modern buildings is only part of the battle, however, as we have seen a massive increase in the amount of thefts from farms and also the prevalence of activists, which can have a massive impact – not just on the financial aspects

of the farm, but perhaps more importantly the mental wellbeing of its inhabitants. With more than 50 years of livestock marketing experience, Anglia Quality Meats (AQM) has built a range of partnerships to help farmers tackle these issues and provide bespoke on-farm specialist advice. AQM offers a complete service for the efficient production, management and marketing of livestock. Partnerships with leading agricultural insurers and financial advisors mean that it can also help to ensure the correct cover is in place. Through Active Farm Solutions the company offers advice and products for securing, monitoring and protecting the farm and its assets. FG

Don’t forget to leak-test storage plants Loss of refrigerant gas can be a common problem in farm storage buildings and means refrigerated crop storage doesn’t work as effectively as it should, leading to loss of stock. Welch Refrigeration inspects equipment, determines why and where the plant is losing refrigerant and carries out repairs to get it up and running as soon as possible. The Ipswich-based company specialises in the design, installation, maintenance and repair of refrigerated crop storage. Welch engineers, which are on-hand 24/7, also leak-check plants regularly to ensure farms meet their F-Gas regulations, and can advise on how often to leak-test, based on the quantity and type of refrigerant gas in the plant. It also offers advice on

gas conversions to refrigerant gases with lower global warming potential (GWP). Crop storage plants can have problems with compressors and electric motors, the company adds, so it provides an overhaul service of compressor and electric motors to keep plants running efficiently during the season. When farms are ready to shut plants down at the end of the season, Welch isolates the plant to prevent any refrigerant leakages during shutdown. When the plants are ready to be started up again, it carries out a full service to check for problems and carry out repairs where necessary, to ensure the plant runs efficiently throughout the season.

Q&A

Farm Buildings

A new era for buildings company

Mark Allen took over the running of Johnstruct – which supplies, installs and refurbishes steel-framed buildings – after the sad passing of his father Richard a year ago. Farmers Guide caught up with him to talk about his journey with the company. Q. How has the last year been, since you took over the company? A. The last year has been an emotional roller coaster, trying to do right by my father whilst learning on the job as it were. The loyalty and incredible support from the majority of suppliers has been unbelievable. Q. What is the most interesting project you’ve worked on recently? A. All our jobs are really interesting in their own way. I love the variety and difference between projects – thus far, not one job has been the same. One of the most challenging pieces of work lately has been quoting to undertake a seven-cattle barn building project on a farm near Cambridge. The site borders the Fens, has extremely poor soil bearing capacity (for foundations) and is located within a complex drainage network. This is challenging, as rightly or wrongly I do most of the high-level design upfront – this allows me to more accurately price up materials and labour, in order to not go back to the customer for additional funds later in the project. This is important to me as I don’t like ‘unknowns’ or surprises.

site. We are positive that this added-value service reduces risk and emphasises work force/customer safety. Q. What does the future hold for Johnstruct? A. Historically our focus has predominately been agricultural building. However, the trend for farmers and land owners to diversify their business creates opportunities for Johnstruct moving forward. Johnstruct is extremely considered in its building design approach

and asks the question: “What could this building possibly be used for in 10, 20 or even 40 years’ time?” It’s not necessarily just about what materials we’ll use or the building size, it is also about considering building location; positioning/orientation; the environment; and listening to and understanding our customers’ current needs versus their aspirations. In my father’s time he worked with the grandparents and parents. I see a clear trend of working more with the sons and daughters. The world in which we live and the technology within it has changed dramatically from the preboomer era to the millennials. Fundamentally, Johnstruct will always aim to provide a highquality service and product no matter what the building requirement or need. FG

Q. Can you tell us about the drone technology you offer? A. The drone was originally purchased to capture different perspectives of our builds for marketing purposes, and to aid suppliers or site discussion. However, we have used it loads recently – in the main to safely and remotely survey building roof damage from the recent storms and also to undertake valley gutter/roof inspections. We successfully used our drone to confirm the underlying route of a high-pressure gas main across a greenfield

Lighting plans help determine the best lighting level, by giving you the correct number and layout of lights for your building.

Plan for livestock lighting A family business, Lojer LED Lighting was established 1985 and has been involved with LED technology for nearly 25 years. The company designed its first LED lights for farms over 10 years ago, with a focus especially on dairy and cubicle sheds. Lojer states its LED lights use high quality components, including those from Samsung and Osram, to give the lights the highest efficiency and longest possible life expectancy. These are manufactured to EN/British Standards with strong polycarbonate bodies, special silicon sealing gaskets and stainless-steel brackets and clips, making them IP66 water- and fume-proof, high impact- and flameresistant.

The company also offers a lighting plan service, whereby they calculate the minimum number and size of lights to provide the required light levels. Lojer also claims it will guarantee the optimum lighting level for your needs, and ensure there aren’t more LEDs than necessary – saving on purchase costs and reducing power wastage for the foreseeable future. According to the company, they can cut your electric bill in half, plus help save even more energy with programmable clocks so they are only on when you need the light, and light sensors for bright days which turn the lights off when the ambient level is more than enough.

Farm Buildings Planning permission for building proposals

Refurbishing your old farm buildings Farm buildings often fall into disrepair as they withstand the elements year after year, and refurbishing your existing building to enhance its appearance and extend its life is often lower cost than a new build. From roof cladding repairs and removal of asbestos cladding, to upgrading thermal efficiency or improving the building’s aesthetics, Tey Farm Systems says it has a specialist team to help. According to the company, its team are experts in the refurbishment of old steel and concrete framed buildings and pride themselves on creating the best design for both you and your business. Essex-based Tey Farm Systems specialises in the design, build and

refurbishment of high-quality farm buildings – from grain stores and workshops, to cattle buildings and straw barns. The company says it is one of only a handful to offer complete project management from the initial planning stages through to construction and completion, by offering in-house maintenance tailored to customers’ individual needs. It offers a free, initial appraisal visit from which you can choose any number of follow up services offered. The company carries out any necessary planning applications before erecting, cladding, installing and supplying the building. All work is carried out to the same standards as would be applied to a new build. FG

Despite recent political upheaval with Brexit, future trading agreements, the Agricultural Bill and climate change, the need for UK farmers to produce food remains. Buildings are key to this and need to be fit for purpose and suited to modern farming. Rural planning consultants and designers Acorus say they have a wealth of experience in advising clients on meeting the building needs of their business, whether that be agricultural or as part of a diversification proposal. For new farm buildings, there are options available in terms of the route through the planning system. A decision can be made early on whether to use permitted development rights. For holdings above 5ha, legislation allows buildings covering 1,000m2. There are a number of restrictions which need to be considered and it must be shown that the development is reasonably necessary for the purposes of agriculture, and justified as such. Under permitted development rights, there is still a prior approval process to go through. Planning applications for agricultural buildings should be

treated positively even in the Green Belt where agricultural buildings are not inappropriate. However, issues such as landscape impact, pollution, highways and access all need addressing with any application, and in some cases an Environmental Statement will be required. If you are considering a new farm building, new farmstead or relocation of an existing farm, including the potential for on-site accommodation, you can contact Acorus for advice and assistance on the planning process.

Farm Buildings Energy-saving fan set popular with users The Evolution fan from Evans and Pearce first launched in 2011 and has since proven to be a popular choice for pedestal ventilation, the company says. Conventional fans for pedestals generally use a 1,100W motor, which is capable of ventilating around 250t/ unit. The Evolution fan, on the other hand, uses a 350W motor to ventilate the same tonnage. Efficiencies are gained through the brushless motor technology, which reduces mechanical energy loss when driving the motor; and the backwardcurved impeller, which has lower energy demands compared to the forward-curved type commonly used in portable grain cooling fans. Since the introduction of the new Grain Fan Assist controller in 2017, the fan can also wirelessly control building ventilation fans. In practice, it detects when running conditions are suitable, turns itself on and engages the building extraction fan to ensure warm air from the crop is expelled from the grain store. According to the company, users appreciate Evolution’s reliability, low voltage start-up and the ease of moving it around the grain store. The integral controller is a bonus as

the unit arrives with its automation in place, so there are no electrician or controller costs. Motor longevity has been impressive, the company adds, with just one failure out of 700 sold. Managing director Rob White said: “The system just makes sense when people see it for the first time. Fans react to grain conditions local to the pedestal. Energy input is low, moving the fan is easier and control is built into the fan. “As with all our fan products the units are Devon-built, with components sourced from the UK and Europe for supply chain stability.” FG

Kramer telehandler KT429.

No-till eco drills available for hire this spring Dale Drills is making its range of No-Till Eco Drills available for short-term hire throughout the UK this spring, offering users the chance to establish crops in an economically efficient manner, while ensuring healthier, more resilient soils that are capable of growing higher-yielding crops. Features include low disturbance tines to keep the horsepower requirement to a minimum of just 20hp/m (a 6m Eco M can be pulled with a 150hp tractor). This reduces fuel consumption while also

limiting the weight of machinery on the soil and preventing unnecessary compaction. Independent drilling assemblies follow contours accurately, which ensure even depth control across the width of the drill, giving rise to a crop which emerges evenly. This feature also saves money and time by reducing the need for additional cultivation passes in order to level seedbeds. An adjustable hydraulic pressure to drilling assemblies allows users to drill into any seedbeds, from firmer direct seedbeds, to looser min till and even into conventional ploughbased seedbeds, reducing the need for multiple drills. An adjustable row width from 12.5– 25cm (5–10in) also offers users the versatility to plant crops at the optimum spacing for best yield, while the ability to place fertiliser and other products alongside seed optimises establishment. FG

New features for telehandler range An 11-model range of Kramer Werke telehandlers will be equipped with level V engines, as well as receiving new features for optimal comfort and driving experience. Eight models (KT306, KT356, KT307, KT357, KT407, KT457 (successor KT447), KT507 and KT429) will still be equipped with the Deutz TCD 3.6 engine with level V and 100kW power. For this purpose, the exhaust after treatment with DOC and SCR will be supplemented with a DPF as a standard. The models with 5,500kg payload, KT557 and KT559, will receive the Deutz TCD 4.1 engine with level V and 115kW as standard. The KT276 model will also receive new features. For optimal all-round visibility, a raised cabin is optional for the

compact models from KT306 to KT407. The exterior FOPS protective grating has been optimised for the high cabin, to ensure a better upwards view and a new protective grating is part of the standard equipment for the performance range from KT457 to KT559. To increase safety and comfort, the entry into the machine was improved through a recess in the cabin floor. The models starting with KT306 payload and up now have a fourth steering mode, the ‘manual crab steering’. The wheel position of the rear tyres can be fixed here, but still manoeuvred with the front axle, which is very convenient in tight spaces or, for example, when driving along the silo wall, Kramer says.

Are you involved in hedgerow management or tree cutting? If so, you need to see this shear working! Contact us for more information

www.ncdequipment.com

The TMK range now offers shears that fit on 2–30 tonne excavators. The TMK 300 will also fit onto telehandlers. TMK shears can cut between 200mm–400mm softwood and between 180mm–350mm hardwood. Cutting capabilities are dependent on the model of shear being used. Each shear comes with a fixed grapple, which holds onto the cut tree or vegetation before and after it has been cut, allowing the operator to safely place it onto the ground.

Machinery brand appoints new dealer “We’re delighted to add the Vicon portfolio to our business,” said Vincent Tractors & Plant managing director Paul Vincent. “Vicon is a well-established premium brand with a strong reputation, and its extensive product range now takes us into new market sectors with a well-respected range of mounted and trailed sprayers.” Vincent Tractors & Plant has 44 staff, including nine salespeople and 14 mobile and workshopbased technicians. The business, started by Paul’s parents, recently welcomed third generation family members Nick and Alec Vincent into the fold. Vicon sales manager David Furber commented: “We’re pleased to have secured a well-known dealer to handle sales and service of our new sprayers in an area that has given us a strong market share. The Vincent family has a great reputation for supporting its customers with a range of high-quality machinery, and we’re really proud to be (l-r): Alec and Nick Vincent, who recently joined supporting this business with Vincent Tractors & Plant, with Vicon sales manager David Furber. the Vicon range.” FG

In a continued expansion of its dealer network, Vicon has appointed Vincent Tractors & Plant, giving the Kverneland brand a greater foothold in the south west region. Vincent Tractors & Plant will sell Vicon sprayers and balers through its depots in Fraddon, Cornwall, and Smithaleigh, near Plympton in south Devon. The entire Vicon range will also be available through Vincent’s Holsworthy depot in north Devon.

New ‘fine finish’ machine for land regeneration A new addition to the tractormounted mulcher range supplied by Spaldings can produce a fine and firm tilth, ready for woodland re-planting or sowing to other crops as part of a land regeneration project. The TMC Cancela MPK-225 has a working width of 2.25m (a 2.50m version is also available), operates on the rear three-point linkage of a 220–300hp tractor, and has 58 rigidly-mounted hammers arranged in a helix pattern. Each hammer has a single carbide tip that shreds residue against six rows of replaceable counter knives and incorporates the resulting mulched material into finely tilled topsoil.

Another feature unique to this model is a steel finishing roller equipped with six serrated traction rings and mounted on hydraulic cylinders, to regulate the working depth and lift the roller out of work when not required. The combination of an intensive-action mulching rotor, consistent working depth, adjustable hood and rear-mounted roller leaves a fine, level and consolidated surface largely free of trash, ready for replanting trees or sowing to a different crop.

Making the most of the dry period Getting nutrition and management right in the dry period has been shown to reduce health issues and optimise lactation performance, fertility and overall cow productivity. Sarah Kidby spoke to Trouw Nutrition about overcoming key challenges. be important to encourage An important resting period for dairy cows to eat by pushing cows, the dry period allows udder the feed up regularly tissues to repair ahead of lactation and making sure they and provides an opportunity to have plenty of space. dispel potential pathogens that could Controlling cause mastitis. Key aims for farmers energy intake in during this time are maintaining the dry period body condition so that cows calve in has been shown the best condition, and maximising to offer benefits for dry matter intake (DMI) post-calving peripartum health, DMI to ensure high performance and and productivity. Liz explains: reduce the risk of health and fertility “Many people talk about controlled problems. For this, a smooth, low-Debby Brown energy diets during the dry period, stress transition from the dry period widely established in the literature to lactation is particularly important. as the best way to prepare cows for Trouw’s ruminant technical the subsequent lactation, especially development manager Liz Homer controlled energy in the close-up (pictured) emphasises the importance period, but it can be difficult to of the whole lactation cycle, not just achieve.

in order to establish the desired DCAB per farm to achieve. After particularly heavy flooding at the end of last year, analysis of feed and silage will be particularly important, according to Liz: “Feed analysis and silage analysis is always important to know what you are feeding, but flooded land may have resulted in leaching of some important minerals, so forage should be tested when new season silage is harvested, especially if you are using a DCAB ration as you need to be as precise as possible.”

After calving Post-partum nutrition is just as important and Liz recommends a post-calving drink containing calcium. “Most farmers use calcium boluses but some recent research coming out is showing that calcium carbonate supplementation through the Trouw Reviva drink keeps calcium levels higher for longer compared to a bolus,” she explains. “But it’s not just the calcium in the drink, it’s the

rehydration and the balance of salts.” This will encourage cows to eat, as well as reducing the risk of milk fever. Glucogenic diets help to promote a faster return to energy balance and good fertility, she adds.

Sub-clinical disease Most farmers will only get a few cases of clinical milk fever, but the main issues are generally sub-clinical, affecting performance but otherwise going undetected, Liz says. With this in mind, how can dairy producers overcome sub-clinical cases and maximise productivity after calving? She says the key is: “Monitor condition throughout lactation, make sure they dry off in the correct condition, feed a proper transition diet and control the energy, including a decent amount of quality protein in the diet.” After calving, it is essential to manage this stressful period correctly by minimising the amount of changes cows go through and giving them sufficient space to eat, optimising DMI.

Fair-price products for UK farmers

Fallen stock advice from the experts According to fallen stock disposal experts Inciner8, the most commonly used method of disposal is collection. While this may be convenient for some, many farmers in remote locations are left waiting weeks for collection services and, in the event of bad weather, collection is almost impossible. The fees for collection are also increasing, making it the more costly alternative. Burying dead livestock has been illegal since 2003, when a ban was implemented to protect the health of humans and other animals, as the ground can become contaminated by leaking body fluids. This can then make its way into the food and drink supply. Storing carcasses for extended periods of time can also increase the

risk of disease and infection on the farm. Putting your other animals at risk could be catastrophic for your business, particularly at crucial times. Dead carcasses attract vermin and insects which multiply if left for long periods, so getting rid of carcasses the same day of death will eradicate any potential risk of infection or disease. Farmers know that dealing with fallen stock at any time of the year is a costly distraction and dealing with fallen stock during the winter causes further disruption on the farm. Having your own on-site incinerator will allow you to dispose of your fallen stock quickly and safely, saving you money on your collection fees.

The future is bright for dairy Conversations at this year’s Dairy-Tech were inevitably dominated by climate change but, while it is clear the industry will undergo significant changes in the next 10–20 years, there is no shortage of innovation and skill to help producers meet the challenges ahead. Sarah Kidby attended. the next decade. Technology and better use of nitrogen will be an important part of this, John said, while consultant Duncan Williams added that using genomics to improve feed efficiency, health and productivity, will also be key.

Dairy innovations

Zoetis’s Josh Batterham, Phil Cullinan and Nigel Bottrill after winning the Royal Dairy Innovation Award for Clarifide Plus.

Speakers in both the dairy and innovation hubs at this year’s show, which took place in early February, were keen to stress that farmers should not be phased by vegan trends and ‘dairy bashing’ in the media, but emphasised that reducing environmental impacts will be key. With more than 55 product launches and nearly 80 speakers, there was a strong focus on how technology such as robotics, sensing, satellite mapping and genomics, will become increasingly important in helping farmers to produce more, with less. Professor Toby Mottram, who founded the agri-tech start-up Milkalyser, said he believes we could one day see a ‘Fitbit for cows’ or a lowcost sensor for measuring emissions. He predicts that robotics and sensors for animal health and feed efficiency will become more commonplace, with monitoring dry cows being a possible new focus area. The technology behind a system for measuring in-line progesterone levels, developed by Milkalyser, could also be adapted

to detect disease markers for BVD, Johne’s, and possibly even bovine TB, he added. Meanwhile, Cogent genetics manager Andrew Holliday said the company believes feed efficiency is the key to producing more food with fewer inputs. Trials of Cogent’s EcoFeed in Ohio have revealed that heifers on the diet eat up to 24 per cent (4.7kg) less feed a day. Exploring what British dairy could look like in the next 10 years, dairy consultant John Allen, of Kite Consulting, predicted that farm numbers will shrink to just under 8,000, while average yield per cow will rise from 8,090 litres per cow to more than 11,080. Alternatively, he mused, it is possible that milk outputs will actually increase so the surplus can be exported. A new report, ‘A Vision for Dairy 2030’, released by Kite during the show, predicts environmental issues will be the biggest threat to dairy farming, but states that the industry can reduce emissions by 30 per cent in

Zoetis took home this year’s Royal Dairy Innovation Award for its unique genomic test, Clarifide Plus. Arriving in the UK in 2019, it is the only genomic test to incorporate health and wellness traits, as well as production traits. Judges were impressed by the way the selection of animals now encompasses the Dairy Wellness Profit Index, which is adding health traits. Head of judges Tim Downes said: “It’s very exciting that animals twice as

healthy can be chosen – improving lifetime productivity alongside less disease incidence.” Runners up for the award were Miracle Tech with its cattle weighing app Beefie; and Herdwatch, which introduced the next generation version of its app for completing paperwork in the field. Other innovative products launched at the show included Rezatec’s Grass SAT, a new digital grass management tool for optimising grazing performance; the Unique teat spray dip from EnviroSystems, which early adopters say has significantly reduced somatic cell counts; and new software from Mole Valley Farmers that can predict the amount of methane produced by different rations.

Gold Cup goes to Ayrshire farmers The Sloan family from Auchinleck, Ayrshire, are the latest recipients of the NMR RABDF Gold Cup. Robert Sloan runs the 180-cow Townlaw Holstein herd at Darnlaw Farm,

alongside the 60-cow Darnlaw Jersey herd, with his parents Bryce and Anne, and his wife Emma. In 2011, they made the decision to switch to robotic milking in a purpose-built shed on a greenfield site at the farm. RABDF chairman and competition judge said the family had worked together to develop their dairy herds and establish a good working relationship with the milk buyer. “They have invested well in technology and systems and their flexible approach to staffing ensures a good work-life balance,” he added.

Dairy, Forage & Silage Cheshire dairy farmers AL Moore & Partners switched from using a tractor-powered trailed forage harvester to a new selfpropelled model three years ago, to make the most of available weather windows for harvesting and to optimise forage quality.

Silage quality and increased flexibility result from new harvester investment Three years ago, Cheshire-based dairy farmers AL Moore & Partners replaced their trailed forage harvester with a new self-propelled model, with the aim of optimising forage quality. David Williams visited the farm to find out if the decision has proved worthwhile. The farm is run by Alan and Stephen Moore, and the herd consists of approximately 550 pedigree Holstein cattle on two sites a few miles apart. Cattle are outdoor grazed through the summer with supplementary feeding of a TMR including maize and grass silage. With seasons changing, and weather windows for making good quality silage becoming shorter and less frequent, the farm’s tractor-powered trailed harvester was replaced by a new Claas Jaguar 840 self-propelled. “Making good silage is key to maintaining good year-round milk production and catching the grass at exactly the right time is critical,” emphasised Alan. “If we can produce good silage then the cows remain healthier and perform better.”

Invest or use a contractor? “We had operated trailed harvesters for the past 30 years, but felt we needed to speed the job up,” continued Stephen. “We had two options – invest in a self-propelled or use a contractor. We get on well with the local contractors and use them for our maize harvesting, but because there is such a short period when conditions are ideal

for grass harvesting we wanted to maintain full control – being able to harvest when we wanted to, and not be under pressure to continue cutting if conditions weren’t suitable. My son William is keen to join us on the farm and we see a positive future for the dairy industry, so we are always prepared to invest for the future and started looking for a suitable self-propelled machine.”

“

Making good silage is key to maintaining good year-round milk production. Several brands were considered, but Claas was an early favourite for its strong reputation and back-up available from Morris Corfield, the local dealer. The family already operated a Claas rear-mounted mower and a rake which were preferred for their performance and build quality, compared to other brands which they had tried. A Claas Jaguar 800-series harvester was identified as being the ideal size, and the search began for a suitable used model. “Most were from

contractors so had worked a large number of hours, as well as having features that we didn’t need,” Stephen said. ”And, with demand high for used Claas Jaguars, it seemed that as soon as we heard of anything suitable it had already been sold. We knew that with the area of grass we cut annually the hours would remain very low and we would keep it for many years, so with a relatively small price difference between a good used machine and a brand new one built to our ideal specification, we placed an order.” The Jaguar 840 was purchased from Morris Corfield with a Claas 300 grass pick-up. The Claas Liner grass rake was also upgraded to provide a suitable swath for the new harvester. For maize harvesting, the family decided to continue using the services of a contractor, partly because it was hard to justify the additional cost of a maize header and cracker for the relatively small area of crop.

Saving time, gaining flexibility Stephen said investing in the Jaguar has proved worthwhile – saving time and adding flexibility. “It allows us to be independent. We can harvest when we want and take time away from the field for other tasks when needed. It also provides added opportunities to take extra cuts when grass growth might not justify bringing in a contractor. When a good spell of weather arrives, everyone is on to the contractors wanting their continued over…

harvesting done, but we don’t have to worry, so the harvesting season has become easier. Chop quality is much better than we achieved with our trailed machine and the silage has improved as a result.”

Easy to use The main operator is Glyn Tucker. “We had several harvesters on demonstration, but I preferred the Claas,” he said. “I very much enjoy using it – it’s easy to drive and very comfortable. The dealer arranged a useful one-day training course which taught me the basics, and it took little time to get used to it. It’s much easier to use than the trailed machine, with chop length adjusted at the touch of the screen in the cab whereas we used to have to leave the tractor cab, select the appropriate gear according to the conditions, and then get back into the cab. The Jaguar has plenty of power to cope with variable crops and I average approximately 4ha of first cut harvesting per hour. The visibility from the cab is excellent. Using the trailed machine, I had to look back over my shoulder at the pick-up all day. The Jaguar is so much more comfortable and features such as the chute camera make it easy to keep an eye on the trailer while watching the pick-up. When we are under pressure to get the grass harvesting finished I sometimes spend 12–14 hours in the seat and cut at night, but the excellent cab and controls mean it isn’t too tiring.”

Successful move

Main operator Glyn Tucker said he very much enjoys using the Claas Jaguar 840.

So far, the Jaguar has proved trouble-free and just as reliable as the farm had hoped. Glyn said routine maintenance is straightforward and that auto-lube looks after most grease points. “The blade sharpening is fully automatic too, and the machine even tells me when sharpening is needed.

Farmer Stephen Moore (left) with harvester operator Glyn Tucker.

Getting at the blades of our trailed machine for sharpening was difficult and required several hours,” he added. “On our size of farm, the benefits we gain from owning the machine mean it is easily justified,” concluded Stephen. “Margins are under pressure and using a contractor for the grass as well as the maize would add a lot to our costs. Having invested in the new Jaguar, which won’t work many hours a year, we will maintain it well, keep it in good condition and expect it to hold its value while remaining on the farm for at least 20 years.

Six steps for sward success Forage grass experts discuss a plan of action for getting your fields back to full fitness after a wet, mild winter. The UK has experienced unseasonably mild conditions this winter, with temperatures over 1ºC higher than the long-term average. Combined with high rainfall, this has resulted in extensive flooding and waterlogging and a dramatic impact on grassland. Soil in many places has become compacted by the weight of water lying on it and valuable nutrients have also been lost to leaching. Grass seed producer Barenbrug UK has produced a list of actions for getting swards back in shape. 1. Make a forage plan. Work out your farm’s forage requirement for the year to allow for effective

grassland management planning. 2. Walk your fields. As soon as conditions allow, complete a visual assessment of your field/s. Those that need most attention will be easy to spot. If pastures look an unhealthy shade of yellowy green, that’s a clear indicator of stress. Patchy areas of growth are also a definite sign of compaction and poor soil structure. Record information in the Good Grass Guide. 3. Dig deep. Dig a pit to around 30cm or the depth of any pan to assess the extent of damage. If the grass roots aren’t penetrating below 10cm then you are dealing

with a clear case of compaction. Another sign is if the soil is bone dry from 7–15cm down. Compaction can drastically affect the growth rate and rooting structure of newly sown grasses – reducing productivity by 10–20 per cent. It can also prevent the uptake of nutrients, restrict drainage and ultimately cut down on the number of working days you’ll get from a field. 4. Soil sample. Maintaining grassland soils at a pH of at least 6.2 and P&K at index 2 is fundamental to successful grassland productivity. High levels of water, like we’ve seen this winter, can drastically affect

pH and the more acidic the soil, the greater the chance of lock up, making vital nutrients unavailable to plants. Invest in a broadspectrum analysis, not just a basic sample, to give a better picture of the trace element balance (paying particular attention to the calcium to magnesium balance) and allow for better liming and fertiliser choices. 5. Correct any issues. By leaving problems unrectified, production, soil health and profitability will only decline further. 6. Sward rejuvenation or replacement. Once soil structure and fertility issues have been addressed, new leys can be drilled into place or overseeding can occur. If the aim is to get grass producing quickly then it’s best to overseed with a mix of fast-growing vigorous tetraploid ryegrass species. These will start delivering results after 6–8 weeks of establishment – improving ground cover and giving a real spring boost to yield and quality. But remember, overseeding is only a short-term solution. For longer-term results on problem pastures it is advisable to replace the grass with a more suitable ley come the autumn. FG

Major MJ91-750 dribble bar.

Retrofit low emission slurry spreader Major Equipment has launched a dribble bar and trailing shoe slurry spreader to help farmers maximise the benefit of slurries and ensure compliance with environmental regulations. Both units have a 7.5m working width and can be retrofitted to any tanker make or model. The units are designed to apply slurry to the soil surface as accurately as possible, while minimising grass contamination and ammonia emissions. Both have 30 outlets, spaced 260mm apart for even and precise distribution of liquid material in long and short grass. They are easily mounted onto the back door without welding or fabricating. Brackets with settings in 60mm increments allow either unit to be set according to the

tanker height, making the system adaptable to any tanker make or model. They can also be used with the existing splashplate left in place. When arms are folded and locked into place, the trailing shoe and dribble bar have a transport width of 2.4m and 2.2m respectively. For safe and legal road use, a full lighting board is fitted as standard. There is a double self-aligning pivot hinge with easy access grease point on each wing for increased durability. Both units are made from high-strength steel and galvanised to increase durability and lifespan. A Vogelsang ExaCut macerator is centred on both units to deliver optimal cutting results and eliminate blockages. FG

As we go into spring after a very difficult autumn – and with grassland management at the forefront of farming trends – the Guttler Greenmaster 640 system should be a consideration for livestock farmers, arable farmers and contractors alike, according to Wox Agri Services. The Greenmaster 640 Harroflex element has all the features of the very popular Greenmaster 300, the company says. This includes the patented ripper board tine and fully adjustable 12mm sprung tines suitable for coping with all the variable conditions faced when working with grass swards from plough-based to non-inversion situations.

The Master 640 trailed rollers – with the classic Guttler Prisma rings (designed to mimic the sheep’s ‘hoof’ effect) – ensure effective seed-to-soil contact for all seeds placed by the system. With a seeder unit that is able to cope with small seed crops, from clovers and OSR, up to grains, stubble turnips and specialist grass seed mixes, the Guttler Greenmaster System can provide the answers to a never-ending, complicated farming conundrum, Wox Agri says. Working closely with seed suppliers and agronomists, the company advises farmers to ensure they are ready when the conditions are. The Guttler Greenmaster 300 and 640 systems are available exstock from Wox Agri. FG

New maize dry matter monitoring tool A new online tool developed by KWS will allow maize growers to use satellite imagery to view their own fields, in order to improve the assessment of harvest readiness. Due to go live in 2021, the precision management service has received excellent feedback from farmers who took part in the 2019 pilot study and additional participants are being sought for this season. The KWS DM Monitoring Tool uses satellite imagery alongside information on the FAO, or maturity rating, of a variety combined with realtime data on rainfall, heat units and radiation on individual farms. Accurate to 10sq. m, the colour coding system indicates whether the crop is too wet, harvest-ready or if DM content has exceeded optimum figures. Making a decision on maize cutting dates can be challenging and it is estimated that up to 50 per cent of fields are not harvested at the correct time, with a negative effect on crop quantity and quality, says KWS’ John Burgess (left). “Maize growers have become sophisticated in their ability to determine dry matter levels in individual plants, but there can be a wide variation within each field. This can present difficulties, when it comes to making a decision on harvest dates. “The internet-based service will increase the accuracy of decision-making, compared with the standard visual method. It has the potential to be particularly useful for growers with large acreages, as it will help them to prioritise those fields which are ready to cut. “It will also help to pinpoint cutting dates on smaller farms and it is anticipated that it will improve yields and quality across the national maize acreage, as well as reducing the potential for silage losses,” he says. The aim is for the system to cover some 80 per cent of the UK maize acreage by the end of next year. It will cover 10 European countries.

Getting the crop off to a good start is vital for maximising both yield and quality potential. “I would strongly recommend the inclusion of some of the newer maize varieties in the farm portfolio for this year. As plant breeders, we have made huge strides in terms of genetic progress over the past few years on a wide range of economic traits and there is an opportunity to take advantage of some of the more recent advances.”

Dairy, Forage & Silage Baling crops with precise knowledge Whether baling silage, haylage, hay or straw, understanding the conditions is vital. Aiming to lead the way in forage management equipment, Profitable Farming Company offers precision moisture sensors for all balers, with systems either fully integrated or smart device controlled. For large and small square balers, precision starwheels measuring up to 70 per cent moisture are used, while twin disc technology for round balers offers up to 60 per cent moisture readings, with accuracy at +/-1 per cent. The system measures throughout the bale – pulsing from side-to-side and giving up to nine readings per second to gauge the overall moisture level. Once the accurate moisture level has been obtained, there are then options to manage the bale quality.

• • • •

Utilising the wet bale marker will identify bales which exceed the safe moisture baling limit and allow separation in the stack. According to PFC, using its baler-safe buffered acid preservative will extend the baling window in hay and straw by up to 30 per cent. The application systems will monitor the baler performance and crop moisture, and adjust the application rate automatically every second. Declared by the company to be the strongest preservative on the market for hay and straw, it has a pH of 6.0, making it balersafe and suitable for all livestock, including horses. Using market-leading application equipment and preservative will improve efficiency and forage quality, while reducing production costs. FG

Albutt’s buck rake model line-up covers four widths, from 8–12ft, and there is a choice of either Hardox or forged tines.

The right attachment holds ‘key to quality clamped forage’ Clamping silage has been seen to be a bottleneck in the green harvest process, manufacturer Albutt says, so the right attachment is needed to produce quality clamped forage and boost productivity of clamp loading machines. Production of the company’s buck rakes and folding forks has seen more than 5,000 units leave its manufacturing facility for destinations around the globe. Its buck rake model line-up covers four widths, from 8–12ft, and there is a choice of either Hardox or forged tines. Folding forks are gaining in popularity as wheeled loader sales increase in agriculture, the company

adds. Its range offers capacities from 6.9–9.4m3. According to Albutt, the high capacities offer great payload and fast clamping speeds, improving productivity of the clamp operation. Hydraulic folding wings allow the fork width to be reduced to 3m to allow rolling up to the clamp wall, maintaining feed quality across the full width of the clamp. This improves clamping productivity and increases time for clamp rolling, eliminating air pockets and improving feed quality. Albutt also offers accessories including LED work lights and tine guards for both product ranges. The range will be on show at Grassland and Muck on 20–21st May. FG

The range uses a low pitch mixing and chopping auger that creates a simple cycle action and is fitted with eight self-sharpening knives, one of which runs close to the body of the vertical feeder. This ensures that, once the mix is drawn up by the auger, as it falls back down the side it continues to be chopped and mixed, so a quick and thorough mix can be achieved consistently. Options include various discharge outlet positions or a variable height hydraulic chute or cross conveyor with elevator. It can also be specified with the Digi-Star TMR Tracker fully programmable electronic weighing system. The vertical auger can be fitted with a straw blower, so it can also be used as a bedder, or with a root washer and cleaner so root crops can be incorporated into the mix. The company says its MixMax range of paddle-type feeders are designed to be flexible, sturdy and economical, with a long-lasting and simple design that ensures low running costs and low maintenance. The Hi-Spec Feed-Flo mixing system features single-angled rotor arms to provide thorough end-to-end mixing and a light fluffy ration, without the need for multiple augers. The mix is discharged through a hydraulically operated door, through a teaser roller that makes it easy to adjust the flow rate and provide an even, consistent feed-out. A total of seven single- and double-axle MixMax models are available, ranging from 10–24m³. Options available include the DigiStar Tracker programmable weighing system, a hydraulic or fold-down elevator and the root washer and Chopper for incorporating root crops into the ration. FG

Dairy, Forage & Silage

New research indicates more milk from quality forage At an industry briefing in mid-February, the findings of two new research projects were presented, which suggest significant increases in grass energy yield/ha – and the subsequent improved milk from forage potentiality.

from forage than a five-yearold ley with just half of the perennial ryegrass remaining. If we extend the life of the old ley to 10 years, with just 25 per cent perennial ryegrass remaining, then the difference rises to 3,410-litres/ ha (See Table 1). If we apply a milk price of 27p/litre, this roughly equates to an extra £500–£1,000/ha in additional milk from forage, simply by maintaining sward quality.” In answer to Prof Newbold’s prompt on growing better quality silage, Volac scientist Dr Mark Leggett (right) said new farm-based Ecosyl research had examined the potential of multicut silage – where grass is cut younger and more frequently – to deliver extra milk. Results confirmed that grass from a fivecut system was indeed more nutritious than from a more traditional three-cut approach – with an average digestibility (D value) of 72.7 versus 69.7, and delivering 0.5MJ/kg more energy. Crude protein content was also almost three per cent higher. Over the season, the multi-cut grass also yielded 0.92t/ha more dry matter (DM). When combined with its higher energy, this meant it delivered an extra 18,582MJ/ha, Dr Leggett pointed out. (See Table 2). “Based on 5.3MJ being required

to produce one litre of milk, this means this particular multi-cut system had the potential to deliver an extra 3,506-litres/ha of milk,” explained Dr Leggett. “At a milk price of 25p/litre, this is equivalent to an extra £877/ha earned, which would still leave you about £333/ha better off after deducting the extra cutting costs.” But while multi-cut grass has the potential to unlock more milk from forage, this is only half the picture, Dr Leggett stressed. You also need to conserve these extra nutrients within the silage. “Although multi-cut offers nutritional benefits, it can be more challenging to ensile,” he explained. “Its higher protein can contribute to buffering of the fermentation, while shorter cutting intervals can mean less time for slurry to dissipate, and so increased risk of slurry bacteria, enterobacteria, being present, which can produce DM losses. “Indeed, our research found that when multi-cut was allowed to

ferment without an additive, not only was the fermentation slow, with enterobacteria continuing to grow, but the average DM loss was nearly 10 per cent. By comparison, average DM loss was virtually halved when treated with Ecosyl additive, and there was clear evidence of better protein preservation. “It was concluded that multi-cut offers the potential for more milk from forage, but this cannot be realised without careful ensiling, and Ecosyl helped to ‘bank’ its potential,” he added. FG Table 2: Effect of Ecosyl treatment for reducing dry matter losses in multicut silage. Average DM loss 14 12 10 DM loss (%)

Analysing data from different dairy systems, SRUC professor of dairy nutrition John Newbold (right), outlined how maximising milk from forage is positive for bottom line profitability, whatever the production system. He commented that not only was feed the biggest business cost, moreover the most profitable 25 per cent of farms were the ones that produced more milk from forage – whether grazed grass, silage or a combination. His advice for profitability was to grow better grass, make higher quality silage and to use the silage more effectively. In terms of growing better grass, Germinal GB’s Ben Wixey (right) discussed a new study underway at the Germinal Research Station, where the metabolisable energy (ME) yield/ha value of perennial ryegrasses is being compared with the energy potential from weed grasses that predominate in deteriorating swards. “Grass leys do deteriorate with age, which means lower-value weed species replace the perennial ryegrasses that were selected and sown at the time of reseeding,” he said. “…We’ve calculated that a new reseed would potentially contribute around 2,000-litres/ha more milk

Compact TMR feeder attracts interest The new version of BvL’s V-Mix mixer wagon, designed specifically for use with compact TMR, attracted considerable interest when it launched at Lamma in January, due to its potential milk yield benefits. Compact TMR involves soaking and pre-mixing the dry components of the ration with water, leaving it to soak overnight before adding the rest of the ration mix. This makes it impossible for the dry components of the forage to be separated out from the rest of the mix, so every cow is fed a far more consistent ration, resulting in a yield improvement of up to 2-litres/cow, in addition to potential

improvements in milk quality. There are now compact TMR versions of all models in the BvL V-Mix range. The company also launched a new app-based weighing and feed management system for use with the Compact TMR V-Mix. The new V-Dairy Feeder TMR system is designed to allow quick and easy access to information on the ration mix, from multiple mobile devices at once if necessary. It allows users to achieve the accuracy and consistency that are key to optimum results from compact TMR. Both android and Apple iOS versions of the app are available. FG

Improving your grassland It’s been a well-known fact for many years that harrowing grassland in the spring not only assists in removing old sward and weeds, but also helps to release nitrogen to the growing grass. Originally this operation was carried out with chain harrows, but today the grass harrow has evolved into a much more versatile piece of machinery with levelling boards, tines that can be angled, and rear packers. The ability to improve grass leys by distributing seed via a mounted airseeder on the harrow has also improved the efficiency of the operation. A full

re-seed including ploughing can be an expensive operation, so the ability to stitch seed into an existing ley and extend its life can be beneficial. The Grass 300 from Bullock Tillage comes complete with a hydraulic front levelling board which can be replaced by individual tines for greater disturbance. Three rows of adjustable tines and a hydraulically controlled prismatic packer which ensures a good level finish and is used for depth control. The addition of the SP200 airseeder, which has either GPS or land wheel drive, means the Grass 300 can handle all operations required for grassland management. James Dixon Agricultural Service, based in Suffolk, is the new distributor for Bullock Tillage equipment in the eastern counties. FG

For increased yields and better quality grass Use Polysulphate® fertiliser to supply plant-available sulphur, potassium, magnesium and calcium in a single application. Polysulphate’s prolonged availability of nutrients reduces the risk of leaching and gradually releases the key nutrients to the growing grass, improving yield, quality and profits.

Plan liming now for low pH soils Low pH compromises yield and quality, as acidic soils can cause slow plant growth and reductions in nutrient availability of forage crops and grassland. (overleaf ) shows the impact of soil pH on nutrient availability with significant reductions at or below pH 6 highlighting the importance of getting the pH right before thinking about other inputs.

The five-year average data from the British Survey of Fertiliser Practice (BSFP) demonstrates the continuation of low levels of liming in both arable and grassland rotations, as shown in Table 1. The survey shows that only 3.7 per cent of grassland was limed in the UK in 2018, and the 5-year averages are equivalent to liming grassland on a 31-year cycle. A pH below 6.5 on mineral soils will start to impact the availability of major nutrients – greatly reducing the yield potential, along with herbage quality. Graph 1 shows the 20-year lime use trend for all BSFP survey fields in tillage or grassland rotations. Of the 135,000 grassland soil samples analysed by the 2018/2019 PAAG survey, 57 per cent were below pH 6. Graph 2

Get your soils sampled for pH Ignoring pH can prove costly, so make sure to keep on top of sampling and liming to get the most out of your grassland. In 2017, the ALA launched the Aglime Quality Standard (AQS) to provide farmers and advisers with product quality information for participating suppliers. To meet the standard and gain certification, products

must pass a series of NV, particle size and reactivity tests (LimeX AQS certificates can be viewed at www.limex.co.uk). Be aware that not all ag-lime materials meet the required standards so remember to ask for more than just the lime’s NV – do you know what percentage passes the 0.150mm sieve test, and what the reactivity performance level is? To be classified as an agricultural liming product, at least 40 per cent must pass through a 0.150mm sieve

with a minimum score of 70 per cent in a reactivity test. NV combined with fineness drives reactivity and, with it, the rate of and extent of pH change and longevity. With over 85 per cent passing through a 150 micron sieve, and minimum 95 per cent reactivity, LimeX offers rapid but lasting pH correction in arable and grassland rotations, and can be used in organic farming systems. Furthermore, the integral nutrients within LimeX contribute to maintaining soil fertility and increase available calcium. A typical application of LimeX70 at 7.5t/ha will supply a minimum of: • 75kg P2O5 • 50kg MgO • 45kg SO3 • Typically worth at least £75/ha LimeX meets all quality criteria of the Aglime Quality Standard and is available for delivery nationwide, all year round. LimeX is proud to be part of ADAS’s Grassland YEN Project, which aims to gain a better understanding of yield

Farmers Guide 25 years ago Regular contributor Tony Clark commented on the doings of the EU in the March 1995 Farmers Guide. He wrote that we were in the final throes of complete integration in the “United States of Europe” and commented that, according to the Prime Minister, we could control our destiny with various opt-out clauses. Tony then questioned why the government and the opposition didn’t admit that the UK was inextricably committed to the European Union – well, we’re not any longer! A special feature on forage and silage handling recalled that Greenland was the first company to offer a chopper attachment for its variable chamber round balers. The new RV 1556 baler with a wide pickup, net wrap and Opticut chopper cost £24,900. Krone announced two new big square balers with 80 x 80 and 80 x 120cm bale sizes with four and six knotters respectively, and the latest Taarup drum and disc mowers were available with cutting widths from 1.6–3.6 m. The 35th Doe Show attracted its usual large attendance where there was plenty of choice for farmers who were looking for a secondhand combine. The Doe Triple D and other vintage models attracted much attention on the demonstration field and a similar level of interest

was shown on the latest 11 furrow Dowdeswell 220 Series reversible plough. On the Farm Machinery News pages, Massey Ferguson announced the launch of the new 240hp MF 9240 – the first new model since MF became part of the AGCO Group. Prices started at £78,640 for the new model with a six-cylinder engine, 18 forward and 9 reverse gears with clutchless shuttle change between forward and reverse and optional creep speed. In other news, the Same Lamborghini group had bought Deutz-Fahr, Knight Farm Machinery was offering a polyethylene front tank for its high output sprayers, and the latest Bomford Turner hedge cutter had a 4.05m reach. Around 90 companies were exhibiting at the Lincolnshire Showground when John Hodge visited the Lamma show in February. New products included a pressure harrow from Cousins of Emneth, and John H Rundle had a front-mounted pressure harrow-cum-clod crusher on their stand. Gem Sprayers took their latest self-propelled Sapphire sprayer with a price tag of around £50,000, to the show. The specification included a 124hp Deutz engine and hydrostatic 4wd with the option of two-wheel, four-wheel or crab steering. The Harding Headland Control on the Martin Lishman stand was described as an independent, battery-operated attachment suitable for most sprayers which applied a band of additional chemical along the headland while spraying around the edge of the field.

In a double page spread, a new range of Same and Lamborghini tractors was welcomed by dealers in the Eastern Counties. There were four models in the Same Silver range with 80, 90 and 100hp air-cooled engines, and four new Lamborghini Premium models had 85–105hp water-cooled power units. All of the tractors could be supplied with the choice of a 20 x 20 speed mechanical gearbox or a 20 x 20 electronically controlled box with a three-speed power shift. And finally... Ernest Cozens noted that potato prices were rising daily due to shortages in Europe, and in some areas of the UK potatoes were being sold for up to £10 for a 55lb bag. FG

EARLY MASSEY HARRIS COMBINE HARVESTERS Teams of horses or mules were used to pull the first combines, known at the time as reaper threshers, across the Californian wheat lands in the 1880s. The first Canadian-built Massey Harris reaper threshers, which appeared in the UK in the late 1920s, had a peg drum threshing unit. A team of four men was needed to operate the tractor drawn harvester. One drove the tractor, a second was in charge of the cutter bar and reel and the other two were on the bagging-off platform. The Massey Harris No. 20, introduced in 1920, was one of the first self-propelled reapers. With a 65hp Chrysler engine, 16ft cutter bar and a 37in wide drum, it was one of the first machines to be available with a grain tank. Around 1,500 partly-assembled self-propelled Massey Harris No.21 combines, packed in wooden crates, arrived in the UK from North America between 1941 and 1948. Delivered to the new owners in their crates, the combines were assembled by the farm staff aided by a mechanic from the local Massey Harris dealer. The 21, which superseded the No. 20 in 1940, had a

Chrysler engine, a 12ft cutter bar and 32in wide drum with the option of a grain tank or baggingoff platform. The 21 had a canvas conveyor off the cutter bar platform but the later No. 21A was equipped with a table auger. Massey Harris opened a factory at Old Trafford in Manchester in 1945 and later at Kilmarnock, where the 5ft 6in cut trailed Massey Harris

750 was launched in 1952. The self-propelled Massey Harris 726 with a belt-driven 24in wide drum replaced the MH 21 in 1949. Unlike earlier combines with a crank handle to raise and lower the cutter bar, the 726 had an electric table lift, optional equipment included a grain tank or bagging off platform, straw press, straw spreader and a pick-up reel. FG

Around 1,500 Massey Harris No. 21 combines were sent from North America to the UK between 1941 and 1948.

{farm sale}

Fenland machinery sale draws bids from across Europe A machinery dispersal sale near Ely, Cambs in mid-December included tractors, handlers and cultivation equipment, as well as mowers, rakes and tedders, but the biggest draw for many visitors was the huge selection of potato machinery. David Williams attended the sale. The sale was conducted by local auctioneers Cheffins, on behalf of PJ Lee & Sons. The farming business, also known as Highflyer Farms, farms in excess of 4,000ha including owned and tenanted land around the Norfolk-Cambridgeshire border and is the largest independent producer of potatoes in the UK. The auction was arranged to dispose of almost the entire fleet of ground preparation and potato planting machinery, as part of a strategy to increase farm efficiency. “With a team of great managers and wonderful succession in our business, we are investing in new machinery to increase efficiency and maintain profitability,” explained senior partner Richard Lee. “Newer machines offer higher work rates and greater accuracy and, like other farm businesses, we are finding it harder to find skilled operators. Being able to improve timeliness of operations while using fewer machines will be an advantage, helping us to remain competitive.” As well as potato machinery from the farm, local farmers and dealers had also entered lots – mostly from potato and other root crop enterprises, but there was also a wide selection of general farming equipment.

“The sale boasted some very well maintained field preparation equipment and trailers from the PJ Lee & Sons operation and, with considerable interest expected due to the quality of machinery from the farm, the sale also attracted an exceptional entry of included lots from local vendors,” explained Cheffins auctioneer and director Oliver Godfrey. “With a challenging potato harvest almost completed, the general mood was very upbeat and translated into some competitive bidding from all four corners of the country and record levels of bidders online. There was particular interest in the JCB Fastracs with four sold to one buyer. A large majority of the included lots found new homes and the confident mood resulted in some pleasing results. FG

This Lemken Vari-Euro 5f reversible plough with slatted mouldboards achieved a winning bid of £3,800.

£110 was paid for these three bird scarers, which all appeared to be in working order.

Potato machinery from the Lee family’s farm was all from respected brands and in good order, attracting interest from farmers and trade buyers from across Europe.

This Nicholson Multi-Ridger mounted cultivator and ridger was a 1998 model, and in good condition. It sold for £400.

An older C-plate John Deere 2140 Power Synchron 2wd, with an SG2 cab, was on Alliance Power Drive 13.3R38 rear tyres with 90 per cent tread and Firestone 19.0016 front tyres which were badly perished with 10 per cent tread. The tractor had recorded 8,100 hours. Overall condition was reasonable, although the cab was tatty inside with signs of vermin damage. The modern classic attracted plenty of attention and sold for £2,800.

This 2017 locally manufactured Team Sprayers Compact 120 Amistar applicator, complete with control box, made £850.

About People New regional sales manager for Avant

Jim Bird joins Haith as project manager Manufacturer Haith has strengthened a key area of its business with the appointment of project manager Jim Bird, who will oversee projects from the point of order, through to design, installation and after-sales. He joins the company’s project management team, working alongside Steve Barley, Mike Matthias and Joe Marks, all of whom report to sales director Duane Hill. With over 25 years’ experience of

project management, major site development and process technology, amassed at some of the UK’s major food manufacturing companies, Jim says he is looking forward to helping Haith achieve its aims in 2020 and beyond. According to Duane, Haith’s project management capabilities have been cited several times as one of the key reasons for winning large contracts. “We’ve known Jim for several years, and he worked with us on a very large project to deliver several new lines for one of the UK’s largest potato processing companies,” Duane says. “It’s great to have him on board as a full-time member of the team.”

New CEO for contractors’ association Jill Hewitt has been appointed CEO of the National Association of Agricultural Contractors (NAAC), following the retirement of Duncan Russell. Having previously run the organisation from 2000–2013 before a family crisis forced her to step down, Jill has a wealth of experience and has remained active in the NAAC as a consultant, leading its political and technical work. She said she is “delighted” to be back at the helm of the organisation at such a critical

time for the industry and, with over 90 per cent of farmers using a contractor, stressed the importance of remaining at the forefront of political negotiations in the post-Brexit era. Her aims are to retain a high profile for the industry, while ensuring members have all the information and backup they need to sustain compliant, safe and professional businesses. “To make certain contractors have a bright future, we need the industry to be united and represent ourselves as professionals, demanding fair and equal treatment at Government level to allow us to invest in the new technology and innovation coming our way.”

Doosan Bobcat EMEA has announced two new product management appointments for the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region. Jaroslav (Jarry) Fišer has been appointed product line director for the compact loader range and Robert Husar is now product line manager for mini-excavators. Based in the Dobříš headquarters in the Czech Republic, Jarry is now responsible for leading the Skid-Steer and Compact Track Loader, Backhoe Loader and future loader product lines in the EMEA region. Jarry joined the company as a design engineer 22 years ago and worked in various product engineering and concept development positions, before becoming product management director in 2013. His achievements include launching the best-selling 1t mini-excavator, the Bobcat E10; the revolutionary

R-series excavator line-up; and the E10e – the world’s first batterypowered miniexcavator in the 1t class. Meanwhile, Robert Husar will further enhance product strategy and business development, working globally on the long-term product plan, developing the current portfolio of 17 miniexcavators and driving activities to achieve Doosan Bobcat’s market share targets. Robert joined the company in 2005 as a sourcing specialist and spent the next 10 years in various sourcing functions, including a three-year assignment in Doosan Bobcat’s Bismarck facility in North Dakota. After his return to Dobříš, he joined the team as a product manager and, among other milestones, is responsible for developing the award-winning A-SAC system (Advanced Selectable Auxiliary Control).

New chair to take lead on livestock tracing system John Cross has been appointed chair of Livestock Information Limited, a role that will see him provide strategic leadership to the AHDB/Defraowned company as it creates the Livestock Information Service (LIS). This will replace existing livestock tracing systems for cattle, sheep and pigs in England. A fifth-generation farmer from Norfolk, John was chair of Eblex from 2002–2015 and is currently chair of the Traceability Design User Group (TDUG) – the industry body set up to advise on the creation of LIS. In 2015, he was awarded the prestigious Royal Smithfield Club Prize for outstanding contributions to the livestock sector. John commented: “Livestock Information is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to transform the way traceability is managed in the

livestock industry. The massive strides this programme has made since its inception will soon start to produce real-world results which will positively impact producers at all levels. As a farmer myself, I know what the sectors need worldclass traceability to deliver, and as someone who’s supported the programme for many years, I can see the way we can make those changes come about in a userfriendly way. I’m thrilled to take up this opportunity on behalf of the farming industry as a whole.” AHDB CEO Jane King said she is “delighted” that John accepted the role, adding: “His experience has earned him the respect and trust of the whole industry, making him the ideal leader for a programme which will set new standards for collaboration between Government and producers. He’s been part of the Livestock Information programme from the early days, and I’m confident in his ability to lead the company to success as it moves into delivery, taking the programme from the drawing board and into the real world.”

About People Peter Hennity to cover ScanStone in NI

Agri-accountant takes on new challenge Cumbria accountancy firm JF Hornby, which has over 100 farming businesses on the books, has welcomed agri-accountant Tracie Roberts to the team. Tracie has been an accountant for more than 30 years and her passion for agriculture has driven her interest in working with farming businesses – ranging from hobby farms to

large dairy and flock outfits. With a family history in farming – her father worked on a dairy farm for many years – Tracie believes she is well placed to understand the needs of the sector. Living locally in Dalton is another bonus, she adds, as she can quickly adapt to changes in the local economy and landscape, and advise clients accordingly. “I become an extension of the team – and in some cases the family – through my work with a lot of these businesses,” she explains.

National Sheep Association vice president John Geldard has been awarded the 2020 George Hedley Memorial Award, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the sheep industry. John (pictured right with NSA chief executive Phil Stocker) started his career more than 45 years ago and now farms near Kendal in Cumbria. The family-owned business features a beef, sheep and layer enterprise, along with Plumgarths Farm Shop, and an egg-packing station that benefits numerous surrounding

farms. As an avid regional and national networker, John has also chaired more than 20 industry groups and organisations. Phil Stocker commented: “There are few people that can have given so much time and shown such dedication to the NSA and the UK sheep industry as a whole... He has been tireless in his efforts to serve the NSA and further our standing in the world of agriculture. His impact will be felt at local, regional and national level, having had a great influence on both commercial and pedigree sheep sectors. He is, without doubt, a most deserving recipient of the NSA George Hedley award.” John’s award will be formally presented in July at the NSA Sheep Event dinner in Worcestershire.
