Welcome to the October issue. What a busy month! The Farmers Guide team has been attending open days and tillage events all over the country, so we can report the latest news. But the ones who should be applauded for all their hard work are the farmers who have been combining the fields all hours, battling to complete harvest 2021. At the time of writing in mid-September, the weather has been a tad more settled. However, according to data collected by RSK ADAS Ltd and reported by AHDB on 10th September, crops have been slow to dry due to cooler conditions and morning dews, with 80–90% of the crops harvested at or just before the start of September requiring drying due to moisture levels averaging between 14–24%. Surprisingly, less grain than normal has required drying in Scotland. Winter wheat harvests are pretty much closed across the UK, sitting at just above 90% harvested, and despite the extremely slow start, it’s now just slightly ahead of the five-year average (89%) – so a big well done to all those who have worked from dawn until dusk and beyond. Spring wheat harvest has commenced, and early reports indicate that while crops are yielding well, ergot has been seen in some samples, as well as in crops where a high black-grass burden has been present. Winter barley and winter OSR are both complete and in the stores, or on a lorry if you managed to find one. AHDB reports suggest around 20% of the national winter barley crop was affected by lodging, with lodged or flat crops delaying harvesting particularly in the East and South East. Spring barley is also nearing completion nationally, although while the total area is 85% cleared (reported to be the fastest clearance rate since at least 2014), the North East is only just starting its spring barley harvest, with only around 5% cut to date. Lodging is less apparent in the spring barley, at under 15% – however, the South West is reporting lodging of up to 40%. Winter oats are complete, and spring oats are well underway. According to AHDB, wheat yields are sitting just ahead of the five-year average of 8t/ha, ranging between 8.1–8.3t/ha for 2021, with minimum and maximum yields varying dramatically

from 6–14t/ha. Second wheats have performed well, with crops (where takeall hasn’t been an issue) yielding the same as first wheats. As reported last month, specific weights are slightly lower than average, and protein content has been sacrificed for higher yields in some milling varieties. Spring barley is recording lower grain nitrogen readings compared to winter barley, and germination levels have fallen on later-harvested winter barley, at 90–92%, so those will fail malting specifications. Meanwhile, spring oats are recording higher specific weights than their spring counterparts. Oil content for winter OSR is around 44%, with some low oil contents being recorded where desiccation was early. However, overall yields are slightly better than the five-year average, ranging between 3.3–3.5t/ha. I mentioned last month that machinery editor David Williams and our marketing team attended the Tuckwells demo day, and you can now read what happened when David put the John Deere X9 1000 and 1100 models to the test on page 33. We also have some impressive videos from the day on our Facebook page. In September we attended the NORMAC cultivations event, catching up with the brands and dealers who were exhibiting. Interviews and live demos are available on our social media channels if you were unable to attend on the day. By the time this month’s magazine lands on your doormat, interviews and videos from the Tillage-Live event will also be available online, and look out for a review of UK Dairy Day in the November issue – livestock editor Sarah Kidby is there as I write. It’s great to be out and about again, meeting our readers and doing what we love. FG

And finally…. Little Johnny was taken to the local livestock market by his father. They saw a farmer checking over a dairy heifer by running his hands round the tailhead, down the rump, under the udder and squeezing the teats. “What’s that man doing, Daddy?” asked little Johnny. “He’s thinking about buying her, so he’s checking her out, son,” replied his father. Turning wide-eyed, little Johnny shouted: “Daddy, I think the postman wants to buy Mummy!” Thank you to Rupert Shinner, a livestock farmer from Devon, for this joke.

Grain & Fertiliser Advice

Weather and haulage remain the causes of uncertainty, while the commercial cost of grain storage is paramount to the bottom line around 240,000 metric tonnes a week, explains why one problem in the supply line can cause so many issues. There is little slack in the system and everyone relies on ‘just-in-time deliveries’, which is fine in a country with ample supply, lorries and drivers, but the comfort blanket is lost when something goes wrong. We have been handed a very fragile infrastructure which needs some changes to become future proof, but the question is how do we overcome them and at whose cost? Referring back to price volatility and weather; maybe the signs are clearly pointing to the time for consumers to build themselves some more slack, or start to pay for the privilege of someone else doing the job for them. Some are already all over this, but I feel things are only likely to get worse and maybe, just maybe, the end retail consumer on the high street will have to pay more for food to ensure the shelves are always full. Just-intime is a luxury that we have taken for granted throughout the supply chain, but those who have kept the old drier serviceable, the grain silos working and always planned to have an issue at harvest are the ones that are currently smiling.

With demand still outstripping supply, the UK’s fragile supply infrastructure needs to be future-proofed, but at what (and who’s) cost? Plus, testing grain samples will have an important impact on next season’s success.

Fertiliser matters As preparations are made for next year’s cropping, carrying out an analysis of harvested grain can be a valuable tool to measure how the crop has performed over the growing season and determine if the nutritional requirements were properly addressed, says fertiliser manager Lucy Hassall (pictured left). This will assist with making accurate nutrient decisions for the new growing season by measuring offtake and identifying any deficiencies. Grain samples can be submitted at any point, although best timing is at harvest to help pinpoint a specific field or area. Routine grain analysis is now recommended in AHDB’s Nutrient Management Guide (RB209) and a broad-spectrum analysis will provide nutrient levels for N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, B, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Zn to identify any deficiency that could affect optimum yield potential. The levels will be benchmarked against critical values and will also provide the N:S ratio which is a useful indicator for future sulphur requirements. Analysis is available for both cereals and oilseed. FG

Companies celebrate 21 years of working together Acquisition and merger announced A new Brown&Co acquisition and merger of Lincoln-based JH Walter was announced early September – scheduled to commence 1st October 2021. Brown&Co opened its Lincoln office in January 2021 and the addition of JH Walter’s Lincoln practice will bring the new combined office to 70 people. It will operate as a major regional hub within the Brown&Co partnership. The Lincoln offices will trade under the name Brown&Co JH Walter. JH Walter’s Lincoln city centre office will continue to host the residential and County Property Auction teams and the rural, commercial, planning and energy teams will integrate with Brown&Co’s existing partners and staff at the firm’s Doddington Road offices. JH Walter senior partner Ian Walter said: “[...] This represents an ideal fit for our staff and our clients to provide a long-term future and opportunity for growth for the firm, our partners and staff.” John Elliott, managing partner at JH Walter, added: “[...] We are delighted to be joining [Brown&Co] to operate and grow in a larger firm and bring our combined expertise under one business.” Brown&Co managing partner Charles Whitaker commented: “We see great synergies between the two of our practices; both sharing a heritage and legacy created in the heart of Lincolnshire and sharing core business values.”

Tractor brand approves tyre option Case IH Vestrum, Maxxum and Puma tractor series are now available with Continental TractorMaster and VF TractorMaster tyres. The original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partnership is the fourth Continental has secured since relaunching its agricultural tyre range in 2017. “It started with approvals from John Deere and Fendt, then Valtra and now Case,” says agricultural tyre specialist Richard Hutchins. The OEM approval means Continental TractorMaster tyres are indicated in the price lists enabling customers to specify Continental tyres for their Case IH tractor. “TractorMaster tyres feature unique N.flex technology and have d.fine lug design which both help to provide greater resilience in the field and improved ride comfort on the road,” Richard says. VF technology is growing in popularity because the tyre enables the vehicle to carry 40% more load than a standard tyre at the same pressure. Alternatively, in the field, the pressure of VF tyres can be lowered by 40% compared to standard tyres, even when carrying the same load.

Haith has marked 21 years of working with R S Cockerill. The anniversary coincides with the completion of £3m investment into the Yorkshire potato grower and packer’s site in Dunnington, near York. This latest project – the installation of four new grading lines – has been partfunded by an EU Productivity Grant and is the 42nd order

that R S Cockerill has awarded to Haith. Each of the new lines features a Haith rota-tip box tippler, washer and destoner, polisher and direct drive dryers. Haith also integrated Key Oculus optical sorters, Newtec 4015 weighers, GIC vertical form fill and seal packaging machines, and LAN robots at the end of the line. “Things have changed a lot in 21 years, with some amazing advances in technology, but one thing has remained the same, and that is [...] people buy from people, and we still

get along with everyone at Haith exceptionally well. They deliver what they say they will and are always open and honest,” said Rufus Pilgrim, managing director at R S Cockerill. “It is very satisfying to see that both companies have continued to grow in the years that we have worked together,” commented Haith sales director, Duane Hill. “We are very grateful to Martin Cockerill's continued loyalty to Haith, and we like to think that our machines have played a part in their continued success.”

Company opens new baler and baler wrapper finance scheme Kuhn Farm Machinery is offering a new 0% finance deal on its range of balers and baler-wrapper combinations with a scheme running from September through to the end of December 2021. The four-year 0% offer can be used against 50% of the list price of all Kuhn

variable and fixed chamber balers and baler-wrapper combinations including the FB, FBP, VB, VBP and i-BIO machines. The finance scheme can operate either as 1+4 annual payments, or on a 4+44 monthly payments basis. Kuhn Finance can also offer tailored finance plans, making

its equipment affordable for any farming cashflow, the company reckons. Kuhn Finance is a partnership between Kuhn Farm Machinery and De Lage Landen Leasing Limited. Further details are available from Kuhn dealers or on the Kuhn Finance page at www.kuhn.co.uk

UK agricultural tractor registrations For the tenth month in a row, UK agricultural tractor registrations in August were above their level a year earlier. The monthly total of 829 machines was up by more than a quarter, compared with August 2020, and was close to the average for the time of year during 2015-19. This brings the total for the year to date to 8,693 tractors, 23% more than in the same period last year and 6% higher than

the five-year average for the opening eight months of the year. The number of machines registered over the latest 12-month period has now moved back above 12,000 for the first time since the end of 2019; in the year to August 2020, fewer than 10,000 tractors were registered. Numbers might have been even higher but for ongoing disruptions to global supply chains, linked to Covid-19, which have inevitably led to

an increase in delivery lead times for some machines. Month: 829 units +26.2% change (compared with August 2020). Year to date: 8,693 units +23.0% change (compared with January-August 2020).

News in brief New dealer appointed for premium irrigation equipment range

Reekie Ltd, supplier of agricultural, construction and groundcare machinery, is all set to rejuvenate sales, service and parts back-up as a newlyappointed official dealer for Bauer’s premium range of crop irrigation equipment. The main focus of the new partnership is on the group’s

depots at Perth and Cupar, which cover some of the largest potato and vegetable growing areas in Scotland. Sam Mercer, general manager at Cupar and Perth, said: “We have a long-standing involvement with irrigation equipment and wanted to get back to supplying new irrigators again with a premium brand that would sit well alongside our agricultural machinery franchises. In Bauer, we have that premium brand.” Rob Jackson of Bauer UK & Ireland said: “We’re delighted to have reached

this agreement with Reekie Ltd, an established and well-respected dealership [...] who know and understand irrigation equipment and the crucial part it plays in growing high-quality, high-value potato and vegetable crops. “We are already taking orders and securing build slots at the factory for irrigation reels to be delivered in time for next year’s growing season, so it’s important for growers to look ahead and plan their requirements now for next year and beyond.”

Soaring demand creates 100 new welding jobs JCB is recruiting 100 new welders for its Staffordshire factories as demand for its products continues to soar, the company announced in early September. The recruitment drive is underway for the permanent

jobs at JCB’s World Headquarters and its plants in Cheadle and Uttoxeter. In September, JCB will also welcome an additional 15 new recruits on to its fabrication and welding apprenticeship. In the past three years, almost 70 welding apprentices have passed their courses – and all gained permanent JCB jobs. JCB chief operating officer Mark Turner said: “Over the past five years, the number of welders in

the UK has shrunk, which presents businesses with a big challenge at times of high demand. JCB has been working very hard over the past few years to tackle this shortage and attract new entrants to this highly-skilled job with its apprenticeship and training programmes, which have been very successful. We are delighted to be building on that success with the creation of 100 permanent new welders’ jobs.”

Peter’s pink trailer helps raise thousands for charity The trailer was commissioned in memory of Peter Cook who passed in 2011. Peter was a much-loved member of the local farming community, and his family wanted to raise funds for Willen Hospice. The Cooks went to their local agricultural dealer Olivers, who were keen to get involved. Cook Farms Ltd,

alongside Olivers Agriculture, purchased the bright pink Richard Western trailer, which has been fittingly dubbed ‘Peter’s pink trailer’. The family set up a JustGiving page with an initial target of £2,000 – which was reached in less than a week. The trailer will also be used on the family farm.

The JustGiving page is open for any donations: www. justgiving.com/fundraising/ peterspinktrailer

New Eastern England dealer appointed Merlo UK has further extended its Green Network of agricultural dealers in the East of England by appointing long-established dealer Collings Brothers of Abbotsely Ltd. Collings Brothers will be representing the full Merlo agricultural range across the counties of Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire. “Founded in 1930, Collings Brothers have established over many decades an envious reputation for customer service,” stated Merlo UK national sales manager Owen Buttle. “We are extremely pleased to welcome them to the nationwide network of Merlo agricultural dealers.” Operating from two very accessible locations at Abbotsley in Cambridgeshire and Brigstock in Northamptonshire, Collings Brothers depots are well-placed to support the needs of existing and potential Merlo customers. “The Collings Brothers team are excited to be working with Merlo again. Collings Brothers has a long-standing relationship with Merlo and look forward to supporting existing and new customers. [...] Our sales team look forward to offering this extensive range of handlers and to getting out into the field demonstrating,” commented Jason Weston, managing director of Collings Brothers.

Company expands organic fertiliser offering by acquiring Finnish producer Yara has announced the acquisition of Ecolan Oy, a Finnish producer of recycled fertilisers. This is Yara’s first acquisition in the organic fertiliser segment and reflects its commitment to playing a bigger role in organic farming and contributing to the circular economy. “By expanding our offerings into the growing organic farming segment in Europe, we can help improve nutrient use efficiency in this segment by capitalising on our deep crop nutrition knowledge,” said Mónica Andrés, executive vice president for Yara Europe. Ecolan utilises industrial side streams to produce highquality fertilisers for agriculture and forestry. Today, many organic waste streams are not being reused or recycled. Recovering nutrients from waste streams and bringing them back into agricultural production helps to reduce nutrient losses and contribute to a circular economy. Together, Yara and Ecolan aim to make a significant positive difference towards a greener fertiliser industry.

Arable be prioritised when deciding order of fungicide applications, particularly if the variety is more susceptible to phoma. Clearly fungicide programmes should be influenced by varietal resistance as found in the AHDB recommended lists. The 10% threshold should be applied for the more canker-susceptible varieties such as Crome and Crocodile (4). On the other hand, more resistant varieties such as George (9) and Croozer, DK Exsteel, Dazzler, Darling, Respect, DK Expectation and DK Imprint CL (8) are less at risk and a 20% threshold should be applied, as well as being of lower priority when it comes to order of spraying.

Light leaf spot

Hit it early: Disease control in OSR Use disease risk forecasts to plan appropriate and timely spray programmes for oilseed rape crops this autumn, is the advice of Dr David Ellerton – technical director with Hutchinsons. The main autumn diseases of oilseed rape, light leaf spot and phoma stem canker, can both be devastating to oilseed rape yields if not controlled early in the season. However, the risk to crops can be very different based on a range of factors, such as weather and varietal resistance. So how can growers this season best decide when to spray for the most effective control? Hutchinsons technical director, Dr David Ellerton, gives the following advice on using risk forecasts and the right chemistry to manage particular levels of risk. Phoma is a disease that comes from the debris and stubble of the previous year’s crop – and can cause losses of up to 0.5t/ha. Phoma spores need 20 days or more rain from 1st August in order to mature on stubble. More rainfall than this then causes release of mature spores, which are then able to infect the crop – if there is a minimum of four hours of leaf wetness. From infection, it takes an accumulated mean temperature of 120-day degrees (i.e. six days at 20˚C, or 10 days at 12˚C) for a mature spore to

Key points to consider: • • • • •

Phoma risk is currently low as a consequence of dry conditions, although this could change Monitoring is essential and spray should be applied when 10–20% of plants show leaf symptoms Priority should be given to small plants of susceptible varieties Light leaf spot should be treated at first signs of the disease Routine protectant fungicide should be applied late October/early November if no spray applied earlier.

produce the characteristic leaf spot, from which the mycelium will migrate down the petiole of the leaf and into the central stem. At low temperatures, this migration may be only 1mm per day but it is essential to control the disease before it reaches the stem, as control then becomes almost impossible and stem cankers will result later in the season.

Risk forecasts To help decide fungicide timings in the autumn, phoma risk forecasts are available from AHDB, which are based on incidence of phoma canker in 2021 and temperature and rainfall from 1st July to 26th September. At the time of writing in early September, conditions have been relatively dry, so at present there is a relatively low phoma risk across the country – although future risk will depend on how much further rainfall is seen through September. Dr Ellerton advises regular monitoring of crops, particularly early sown crops, rather than relying on waiting for the forecast which is only an indication of the beginning of phoma infections and may only be available after infection has started. Fungicides should be applied once crops have reached a threshold of 10–20% of plants infected with phoma leaf spot and the risk forecast will merely indicate when this is likely to occur for your region. Another consideration is the often large difference in growth stages between crops particularly with the wide variation in drilling dates, differences in seedbed moisture and subsequent variation in emergence date. Later drilled smaller crops will be more at risk of phoma reaching the stem and so a threshold of 10% plant infection would be more appropriate rather than 20% for larger crops. They should also

Issued each autumn by the AHDB, the preliminary light leaf spot (LLS) forecast shows the proportion of the oilseed rape crop (disease resistance rating of 5) estimated to have more than 25% of plants affected by LLS in spring, for the current season, in 10 regions across the UK. The forecast uses previous season pod incidence data and deviation from the 30-year mean summer (July and August) temperature. Low temperatures increase risk. It also uses historic average winter rainfall data. In spring, the forecast is updated to reflect deviation in actual winter rainfall data from the 30-year mean. High rainfall also increases risk. It’s important to recognise that the forecasts should only be used as a guide to risk levels. As local risk varies, crops should be inspected regularly on a field-by-field basis. To provide the strongest risk assessment, plant samples should be put in polythene bags and kept at 10–15ºC for around five days to bring out symptoms. There is no threshold for LLS in the autumn, and sprays should be applied at first sign of the disease.

Taking control Recent work from AHDB has shown that programmes based on prothioconazole are very effective at controlling phoma and increasing yield, while straight tebuconazole often gives poorer control and yield response. However, previous AHDB work has indicated that products containing a combination of both prothioconazole and tebuconazole can outperform straight prothioconazole. Where more growth regulation is required, use a higher ratio of tebuconazole. The addition of bixafen will boost control of both phoma and light leaf spot. Application of tebuconazole-based products in the autumn will affect what can be used in the spring. Products containing metconazole are strong growth regulators, but are generally weaker on disease control, particularly LLS. Where disease pressure is relatively low or there is an early attack of phoma, difenoconazole may be considered, although this is weak on LLS so is more appropriate as the early spray for phoma in a planned two-spray programme. The addition of azoxystrobin to difenoconazole will improve LLS control. FG

Better strategies needed to boost slug control A survey of UK arable growers has highlighted the need for greater accuracy when applying slug pellets, with application timing one of the biggest improvements needed to tackle a burgeoning slug population. The survey, which was carried out by Adama UK, shows that 81% of growers perceive the threat posed by slugs has either remained static (65%) or increased (16%) over the last three years. The survey also showed that only 28% of growers are using

traps to assess slug activity, with 20% potentially applying pellets ahead of the slug threshold being reached. “With our new ferric phosphate pellet, Gusto Iron, recently launched and another novel active ingredient in development, we were keen to identify

how big the threat of slug damage is in arable crops and what growers look for when choosing a molluscicide,” explains Melanie Wardle (pictured), Adama’s molluscicide and fungicide product manager. “What we learned was that growers are anticipating another year of intense slug pressure predominantly because the wet weather in the

second half of the spring coincided with the main breeding period, resulting in the potential for an increased population this autumn. The survey also highlighted that whilst the majority of growers are using pellets correctly, there’s still considerable room for improvement in terms of when and, to a certain extent how, pellets are applied.” In terms of how growers assess the

Arable Expect slug attacks after wet weather Watch out for a resurgence of slugs in farm crops over coming weeks after recent wetter weather, says James Collingwood, commercial business manager for agronomy firm ProCam. Be aware also that successful slug control may look different if switching to alternative slug pellets, now that metaldehyde is in its phase-out period, he adds. “Slugs thrive in moist soils, and the levels of slug reproduction through summer months dictate the size of the slug population going into autumn,” Mr Collingwood explains. “Emerging juvenile slugs are the slug threat in their crops, 69% rely on visual inspections when crop walking, 28% use slug traps and 3% use slug forecasting tools. “From a best-practice perspective it is essential that pellets are only applied once threshold has been reached,” Ms Wardle continues, “so it’s encouraging that almost a third of growers are proactively using slug traps to determine when slugs are active. “In an ideal world, 100% of growers would be using traps to assess the risk – not only for the reason mentioned above, but also because trapping is more reliable than basic visual inspections which can be more hit and miss depending on when the crop is walked and during what conditions.” The survey also indicated that the most critical factors when choosing a slug pellet were palatability, active ingredient efficacy and pellet longevity in wet conditions. “Spreading accuracy, mould resistance and pellet visibility were also highlighted as being important,” Ms Wardle adds, “with growers expressing a clear preference for high quality, value-added pellets such as Gusto Iron which gives the ideal balance between palatability and longevity as well as a colour retention and mould resistance.” The survey also highlighted that 37% of growers are applying pellets to 12m, with an additional 24% spreading to 18m. A further 32% are spreading to 24m, with the remaining 7% spreading to 36m. “As expected, the majority of growers surveyed are applying slug pellets to a width of 12–18m,” Ms Wardle describes. “Even at these relatively narrow working widths it’s imperative to ensure that spreading equipment is correctly calibrated and that it is operated at an appropriate forward speed according to the prevailing climatic conditions in order to ensure spreading accuracy and optimal baiting point density.” FG

most damaging because they are such voracious feeders. “After recent rainfall, potatoes currently in the ground will be at risk of slug damage ahead of lifting, which could affect tuber marketability. But slugs also love oilseed rape, and moist soils are a big reason for growers to plant winter oilseed rape this year, because moisture helps it establish quickly against flea beetles. Similarly, autumn-planted cereals going into moist seedbeds will be at risk.” Control-wise, Mr Collingwood says cultural methods may need stepping up to reduce slug numbers

Instead, monitor levels of crop damage to assess whether ferric phosphate pellets need to be reapplied.

But metaldehyde is in its use-up period following news of its withdrawal. When switching to alternative ferric phosphate pellets, as many growers will be, be aware that ferric phosphate is an effective method of control but slugs don’t die in the same way. “Whereas with metaldehyde you could see dead slugs on the

Metaldehyde stewardship guidelines apply this autumn With slug pellet applications imminent, the agricultural industry is being reminded that metaldehyde stewardship guidelines apply this autumn. Dr David Cameron (pictured), chairman of the Metaldehyde Stewardship Group (MSG), the industry body set up to promote responsible use of metaldehyde, explains that although no further supplies of the active are available from manufacturers, distributors can still sell stocks and use can continue until 31st March 2022. “Responsible use of pellets right up until the end of the use-up period is essential to help stop metaldehyde reaching watercourses in all areas of the UK, especially in drinking water catchments,” says Dr Cameron. He notes key stewardship steps to follow. “Firstly, with the view of helping to minimise slug infestations and reduce the need for treatment, metaldehyde slug pellets must only be used as part of a wider Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programme.

“Factors such as soil and stubble management, planting methods, weather, trapping and monitoring should all be considered as part of slug control programmes.” Growers should also take a field-by-field approach to assess the risk of metaldehyde reaching watercourses. “Think ‘Soil, Slope and Stream’. Your field’s soil type, topography and proximity to a water course are all key to understanding whether applications could impact drinking water quality. “If treatment is necessary, it’s imperative to refer to the full set of MSG guidelines. These state that metaldehyde-based slug pellets should not be applied if drains are flowing or heavy rain is forecast, and no pellets should

be allowed to fall within a minimum of 10 metres of any field boundary or watercourse,” Dr Cameron says. He concludes by thanking the entire industry for their support over the last decade. “Although we are now seeing the loss of metaldehyde from the market, the stewardship initiative played an enormously important role, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the ongoing support of various organisations and stakeholders.” Full stewardship guidelines are available at www. getpelletwise.co.uk/home/ msg-guidelines/ FG

Regenerative agriculture What lies beneath: Perspectives on the underworld Prof. Karl Ritz (pictured), Emeritus professor of soil ecology at Nottingham University, spoke at this year’s Groundswell event, focusing on soil health – in particular soil types, structures, biota and related concepts. Rachel Hicks reports. The primary reason for Prof. Ritz’s talk was to assist in the understanding of how systems work, leading to more effective management of those systems – in particular, sustainable soil management, one of the pillars of regenerative ag. According to Prof. Ritz, soil is the foundation of all natural environments – it’s fundamental to the survival of our entire civilisation, past, present and future. This makes farmers, particularly those working within regenerative agriculture, custodians of the future. From a farmer’s perspective, soil is, above all else, a resource – Prof. Ritz reckons it’s the second most important business asset in a farming enterprise; second only to the farmer’s brain, as this is what makes the decisions on how to manage the enterprise and the soil system. From a more scientific perspective, soil is a structured, porous medium, and an adaptive, dynamic system – which can change with time. It’s also a habitat. Soil is not just one soil – it is soils, with huge variations across the UK. What’s common across all soils is they’re

made up of six constituents; minerals, organic matter, organisms, gases, water, and solutes and colloids. These are apparent in different proportions, which leads to the different soil types. Of the organisms living below ground, within a 200g handful of arable soil, Prof. Ritz says there is approximately 0.5g of living material, or fresh biomass, which is microbial so too small to see with the human eye. The amount of biomass below the ground either meets or even exceeds the amount above ground, at around 5t/ha, or even 10x that in the case of grassland, and there’s a high degree of biodiversity – bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes, insects, arachnids, molluscs, worms, and mammals. Size ranges from micrometres up to centimetres (mice, moles etc) – the larger they get, the fewer there are. On top of this, you can have up to many kilometres of plant roots underground (in the case of grassland).

Biological engine Prof. Ritz describes this biota as the biological engine of the earth. But how does this biological engine

actually work? At the simplest level, solar energy arrives from the sun. Plants capture this by photosynthesis and turn it into glucose – chemical energy. These plants are now a potential food source for all other life forms on the planet. In the soil ecosystem, this plant matter becomes soil organic matter (i.e. it dies). This contains energy, which the microorganisms extract and use to reproduce. The next level in the organism pyramid eat those, and so on. As the energy moves from one level to another, it is transferred in all directions, setting up a ‘food web’ – a big, interconnected system. This is what drives the soil engine – the organic matter is the green fuel in this sustainable system. On-farm, common forms of organic matter are green manure, residues from crops, animal manures, and compost that can be imported into the system. Soil structure is fundamental to how soils function. Soil structure relates to the pore networks, through which all soil processes occur. It sets the nature of the habitat of this biota, is a rooting medium, and assists in the drainage and filtering of water. So how does the biological engine create soil structure? Prof. Ritz likens it to the average day for a child at a nursery/kindergarten, as it involves moving, painting, gluing, sewing and eating. The gluing part is that many of the organisms in soil are sticky, so glue the soil particles together. Plant roots and fungal hyphae ‘sew’ the soil together. Many organisms produce materials to coat themselves, to prevent themselves from drying out, which sloughs off and paints the soil surfaces, which stabilises them. The moving part is where the larger organisms, such as earthworms, move the soil around. Large quantities of soil pass through earthworms – they can move

up to 30x their body weight in one day. The soil that passes out of them is significantly more structured than before it went in. On average, the presence of earthworms leads to a 25% increase in crop yield. In order to reach this increase, in a 20cm3 soil sample you would need around 16 worms – this is a biological indicator of your soil health.

Retaining carbon Graph 1 shows the rate at which the soil is respiring, i.e. the rate at which CO2 is leaving the soil, as a result of different levels of tillage. There is an increase in respiration rate during high energy tillage, i.e. ploughing, which means carbon is leaving the soil in a higher and faster amount, so it is no longer available in the soil. In low energy tillage, i.e. min-till, a higher level of carbon remains in the soil. Soil disturbance has a pivotal role in reducing soil organic matter concentrations. The disturbance primes the decomposition of organic matter, burning off carbon as CO2. If you continue to move soil in this way, in the long term it will reduce the energy available in that system, especially if crop residues are being removed with straw being baled and taken away. It’s also stirring up the organism habitat – ripping the fungal hyphae apart, and destroying the vertical worm channels. The worms are less likely to have the energy to rebuild them, lacking the residues for a source of energy. This loss of organic residues therefore directly impacts on soil health. FG To view Prof. Ritz’s lecture in full, visit www.groundswellag.com So how can you best manage soil biology?

• • •

•

Keep the habitat healthy. Avoid messing up the architecture – manage soil structure appropriately Keep feeding the system/fueling the engine – plants will mainline solar energy into the system, and residues are to remain If you take out more than you put in, it’s not sustainable. Replace what you remove, over time – whether that’s carbon, or other minerals Encourage and maintain diversity in the system. Diverse systems are inherently more resilient.

How to prepare cereal crops for winter dormancy Having been caught out by the wet autumn of the previous year, many growers opted to drill cereal crops as early as possible in 2020 due to fears of repeat conditions of a wet autumn. Now, following a successful harvest, one crop nutrition expert believes growers will be looking to emulate this approach in autumn 2021.

Chris Bond (pictured), FMC commercial technical manager for crop nutrition, reckons many growers will be looking to get crops drilled early to capitalise on warmer and drier soil conditions to ensure another good establishment. “If drilled earlier, crops will be well established ahead of dormancy, developing a much greater biomass, which will lead to a higher draw on nutrients from the soil ahead of winter,” he says. Considering this, Mr Bond advises paying attention to nutrition ahead of the colder months to make sure crops are as robust as possible going into dormancy. By doing so, he explains, crops will be better prepared to ramp up growth once the warmer spring weather comes.

Don’t overlook soil sampling Although growers will be looking to get crops into the ground as soon as possible after harvest, Mr Bond warns that soil sampling shouldn’t be overlooked. “Soil sampling should be carried out any time after harvest to help make nutritional decisions for the following crop,” he explains. “It’s really important to understand where you’re at ahead of drilling so you can make any required changes to cropping or to plan nutrient applications ahead of the crop going in the ground.” Mr Bond highlights the value of a broad-spectrum test rather than the standard P, K, Mg and pH test, saying that a broad-spectrum test gives you

Magnesium helps to turn fuel into plant-available energy, stimulates the production of carbohydrates and plays a role in protein synthesis.

Soil testing and tissue testing go hand-in-hand – using them in tandem can help give a true picture of what is available in the soil and what can be accessed by the plant, according to Mr Bond. “I would encourage growers to take samples as soon as the crop is big enough, usually from the threeleaf stage onwards. For those who haven’t been able to get soil tests on certain fields, this will be invaluable. “Tissue tests can also help spot lock-up issues that could be caused by other factors, such as soil conditions, temperature, water levels and the interactions between the nutrients themselves. “To take an accurate tissue sample, make sure to choose plants at random by walking in a W shape within the field. Try to avoid any soil contamination by chopping the green leaves of the plant with scissors and placing this in your sample bag.”

Magnesium could be vital in 2021 Magnesium is traditionally applied later in the growing season, to help grain formation. However, Mr Bond explains magnesium plays a vital role as a catalyst in over 300 reactions within the plant and should be considered in the autumn. “Magnesium helps to turn fuel into plant-available energy, stimulates the production of carbohydrates and plays a role in protein synthesis.” If this autumn follows a similar pattern to those of past years, with several periods of wet weather, plants could again be hit hard as magnesium is one of the most leachable elements in crop nutrition. “For the past four years, we’ve analysed tissue samples across the country and have seen a significant upward trend in the number of crops that are deficient in magnesium. For example, in the past three years magnesium deficiency has been seen in excess of 70% of samples. This is continuing to grow.

Foliar fertilisers Mr Bond explains that foliar applications of nutrients are an ideal way to maintain the correct nutritional levels and balance in-season. “If crops are found to be lacking in any vital nutrient, growers still have the chance to rectify this through foliar applied nutrition. “This can be a cost-effective, quick solution as foliar nutrients can be applied with other products, and incorporated into T timings,” he concludes.

Despite the extensive pipeline of chemistry becoming available since 1961 – from fops and dims to flupyrsulfuron, pendimethalin, Atlantis and flufenacet – the multi-site strength-in-depth of Avadex (tri-allate) is becoming more essential than ever in the integrated management of bromes, ryegrass, wild oats – not to mention rat’s tail fescue – as well as black-grass. Herbicide-resistant black-grass, ryegrass and now sterile brome are clearly part of the problem, believes grassweed specialist, Barrie Hunt (right) of Avadex manufacturer, Gowan Crop Protection. But he sees this being made much worse by today’s climatic variability. “Although there are obvious concerns over reduced weed sensitivity to flufenacet, most pre-em mixtures seemed to have worked well last autumn,” he points out. “But the cold, dry spring really put the cat among the pigeons. On the one hand, it meant little active weed growth in the main spring post-em spraying window, leading to poor later winter control. And on the other, decidedly thin and uncompetitive crops – especially later-sown wheats. “As a result, any weeds surviving into the spring had a field day – as did late-germinating ones like wild oats – causing considerable consternation over the summer and substantial seed return to be dealt with this autumn.”

Sufficient control Added to the extra seed return is the fundamental problem that, while still pretty effective, the autumn pre-emergence sprays central to most

modern grassweed management programmes are simply not giving sufficient control. Recent trials, for instance, show black-grass control of 60–70% can be expected from typical flufenacet-based pre-ems. At the same time, flufenacet and pendimethalin-based stacks are giving 75–80% control of sterile brome and Italian ryegrass. When integrated with cultural controls, these provide a good start. But, as several dry springs in a row have underlined, they can be nowhere near enough to prevent weed populations growing quite alarmingly wherever conditions allow. “That’s why more and more people are turning to Avadex as a pre-em partner,” says Barrie Hunt. “It has stood the test of time, with activity against multiple enzyme systems making it harder for even the most adept herbicide-beating weeds to overcome. “Analysis of 322 data points from trials over the past six seasons show Avadex Excel 15G adding an impressive average of 17 (and up to almost 30) percentage points to blackgrass control in modern pre-em programmes – including those with the latest actives, aclonifen, and metribuzin. And we’ve seen similar improvements from using the micro-granules as a pre-em partner in dealing with both brome and ryegrass. This pushes overall control up to much more sustainable 80% and 90%+ levels.

Residual action Besides its multi-site mode of action, Mr Hunt attributes this extra value to a residuality that

allows good control of grassweeds emerging over an extended period as well as its physical chemical properties, which means it behaves differently from other cereal pre-ems. In addition to dealing very effectively with winter-germinating wild oats, either the micro-granules or the newer liquid formulation (Avadex Factor) applied as part of autumn pre-em programmes have been shown to give ‘the bonus of’ the same 98%+ total wild oat control as springapplied post-em standards; and with much less vulnerability to ‘difficult’ spring conditions too. One notable field trial showed Octoberapplied Avadex giving 90%+ control of tame oats sown fully five months later in March. “Early germinating wild oats have approximately twice the impact on winter cereals yields of later germinators,” Mr Hunt stresses. “And we know autumn application can be as effective as any early spring post-em. So, it makes perfect sense to focus wild oat control on the autumn alongside other grassweeds wherever conditions allow. “Approved for winter and spring wheat and barley plus winter rye and triticale, winter and spring linseed, Avadex Excel 15G has the greatest flexibility of use as well as concentration of tri-allate (2.25kg/ha at the recommended 15kg/ ha granule application rate),” he explains. “We are continuing to develop the versatility of the newer and less concentrated liquid, Avadex Factor (delivering 1.62kg/ha at the recommended 3.6-litre/ha rate) and hope to add more crops in the future. “Despite the extra convenience of the liquid for sprayer-based regimes, Avadex granules remain by far the most popular formulation. There are numerous contractors with applicators across the country and many growers find using them valuable in taking the pressure off workloads at one of their busiest times. Others are fitting applicators to their drills or rolls to make tri-allate the core element of their pre-em programme without the need for an extra pass.” To ensure they get the most from it, Mr Hunt provides five top tips for Avadex Excel 15G users: Achieve the most effective seedbed – consolidating loose ‘puffy’ ground before sowing and avoiding cloddiness; Drill crops at the correct depth (4cm for wheat) – avoiding applications to shallowdrillings and don’t consolidate (or roll) after drilling if seed depth will be affected; Apply within 48 hours of drilling – unless conditions are very dry (in which case wait for rain) or too windy for spraying (which will disrupt the granule spread pattern); Calibrate and check the applicator regularly – paying particular attention to the pipework and the cleanliness and angle of the deflector plates; Avoid crops to be under-sown with grass or followed by oat or grass crops within 12 months – remembering that some cover crop mixtures contain oats. He adds that Avadex granule applications following direct drilling should be quite safe given adequate slot closure and planting depth and, while soil contact is vital for activity, no problems have been reported with residue covers in the UK or in Canada where 75% coverage is common.

Farmers discover unexpected benefits of labour shortages

Meeting the demands of any operation PFC offers a wide range of quality cultivation equipment from Awemak to meet the demands of the smallest to the largest operators. The aim is to provide equipment to meet sensible budgets while maintaining high levels of strength and reliability. The company offers a full range of discs from trailed to hydraulic folding to suit tractors ranging from 120–450hp. The discs are heavy duty as standard, providing reliability and cost effectiveness. PFC is currently stocking various discs and seed bed cultivators. The Puma is specified with jackpot heavy duty vertical tines and utilises a steel ring packer at the rear to provide consistent consolidation. The Puma can be trailed or

mounted, and is easily converted between the transport options for added flexibility. The company says it has been using the Puma seedbed cultivator on its own farm on the plough-based system, but will be moving to a low disturbance 6-leg sub-soiler and then using the Puma to work the top 50mm ready for a tine drill, which PFC reckons will be a very cost-effective establishment. To see the before and after results, visit PFC’s website with a projected drilling date of 15th October on winter wheat. There is a huge choice of tillage equipment, but PFC reckons it can offer what you need at an affordable price – top quality equipment with full specification, with full post-sales support. FG

An imperfect storm of Brexit and Covid, plus a stronger pound making the EU more attractive for European seasonal labourers, saw casual labour disappear overnight. Suddenly, automation is not just a choice, but a necessity. Some farmers have discovered labour shortage isn’t a crisis – it’s actually saving them money, says Rural Asset Finance founder Matthew Smart (pictured). “A pumpkin farm we support in Norfolk annually paid over £30,000 for 80 workers to hoe crops but when those workers vanished, the farmer invested £28,000 leasing a mechanical hoe mounted on a tractor. It did the job consistently perfectly and has saved £30,000 not just this year, but going forward too. “Another client packs and wraps 500g trays of leeks and asparagus for a supermarket. One gram under, and the supermarket penalises them, but every gram over is a gratefully received giveaway.

Judging numbers of stems to make the weight was done by eye, but those human eyes have gone. The farmer leased a machine to select, pack and wrap, and found human error resulted in such a large giveaway, the machine paid for itself in one year.” It’s time to automate, Mr Smart adds. “Review your casual labour requirements, research newly available machines, crunch the numbers, price up a machine on a leasing plan and see if it’s better. The results may make you wish you’d switched years ago.” FG

Q&A

in Agrii’s Green Horizons Insight Report 3 which is available at www.agrii.co.uk/greenhorizons

Biosolutions: Fact & fiction

Latest news from Green Horizons HQ

Answering your questions in this month’s column is Clare Bend – head of technical at Agrii. What do you mean by biosolutions? “Biosolutions are evolving technologies that may be used as well as, or instead of, conventional synthetic crop protection chemicals (CPC) to enhance crop health, plant metabolism, yield, crop protection, nutrient use efficiency or reduce the effect of stress. These can be further categorised into biostimulants, endophytes, elicitors and biopesticides.” There seem to be a lot of wild claims about these products. How is Agrii distinguishing fact from fiction? “We’re getting right back to the basic science to adopt a ‘what works’ approach with a lab-screening system, to refine priorities for field trials. At the last count, we had tested 130 different biosolutions through our field trials, and only 23% of these have shown properties we believe are useful. Our approach has always been to base our approach on science.”

Which products have shown promise over recent years? “If we look at elicitors for example, one that has shown promise over recent years is Iodus – a product from UPL recommended for controlling Septoria tritici and powdery mildew in wheat. It works by increasing cell wall lignification through protein production, preventing the movement and progress of pathogens. Results over the years have been varied, although it has been shown to perform as well as chlorothalonil (CTL) at T0. With the loss of CTL, we are continuously scanning for new products that reduce the selection pressure for resistant pathogens.” How can biosolutions play a role in a sustainable future for my farm? “CPCs are becoming more challenging to discover and to get registered, because of the high standards

• required in GB and the EU. We need to find ways of becoming less reliant on chemistry, and fill the increasing agronomic gaps that are opening up which may not be filled using cultural controls. Biosolutions aren’t a simple substitution for CPC, but help to bolster it and increase the crop’s resilience to stress. Looking forward, they may also play a role in the drive to zero residue food production.” You can read more about the role of biosolutions and how farmers are using these products in their systems

Yields impressive despite difficult harvest conditions While catchy August weather left many farmers with stop-start harvest headaches, there have been some notable performances from several new varieties being grown for the first time. These include two new winter barley varieties, that have exceeded the current AHDB winter barley yield estimates of 6.8–7.2t/ha reported to date for 2021 harvested crops. Lincolnshire grower Tim Booth (right), who farms near Swineshead, was rewarded with a yield of just over 8.6t/ha on a crop of Lightning – a new 2-row conventional winter feed barley from breeder Elsoms Seeds. “It’s our first-time growing winter barley, as historically it’s been tricky to fit into our rotation,” he explained. “However, we changed things up last autumn, drilled 17ha and were rewarded with a fantastic-looking crop that had no disease issues, albeit in a low-pressure year for this area. Beyond one or two minor lodging problems due to heavy rains, Lightning competed well – producing a lot of tillers which smothered the ground very quickly, helping to keep our black-grass at bay. It’s an early maturing type that proved excellent for an early harvest slot, as we followed it with oilseed rape drilled on 2nd August. “Although not really tested, it scores 8 for rhynchosporium and net blotch, and 7 for mildew and brown rust, so the disease package looks potentially very solid,” Mr Booth confirmed. For Grantham farmer Tony Scarborough (left), a first-time crop of winter barley Bolton harvested on 9th

August achieved almost 8t/ha – again, well above AHDB national yield estimates for this season. “We drilled on 12th October in decent weather. The variety established quickly, competing extremely well. It stood well during the spring, despite some heavy rain that temporarily yellowed the crop, and received a basic fungicide package at T1 with a more robust spray at T2 on 12th May. Bolton looks a good variety for a mixed farm, proving uncomplicated to grow and producing a significant quantity of good-quality stiff straw. We grew two winter barleys this season, including Hawking from breeder KWS which did 6.78t/ha, although both varieties were drilled at the same time and received the same inputs. “The final bushel weight of 63hL on the Bolton was slightly down on our farm average of 65hL, although that seems to be in line with AHDB reports of national averages of 60–64hL for winter barley this year,” added Mr Scarborough.

Further north Reports on Bolton have also been positive further north, where John Wilson (right), who manages Over Rankeilour Farms near Cupar in Fife, drilled 17.6ha of the crop on 15–16th September. He commented: “Weather conditions at and post drilling were excellent, and the crop was at the 4–5 tiller stage going into winter. A low-pressure disease year was further aided by a

cold snap in early spring so, despite not being fully tested, it did cope extremely well with the very heavy rain we caught in May. Harvested in early August the final yield was an impressive 10.56t/ha, ahead of our five-year farm average. Specific weight was 68hL, again better than expected and excellent for a feed barley.

Positive winter wheat reports For Thirsk farmer Tony Bell, a first-time crop of the Group 4 hard wheat Astound achieved a yield of almost 10t/ha supporting its credentials as a robust, low-stress variety. Mr Bell said: “We drilled 18ha of Astound, split across two fields, with the larger field late sown on 5th November following a ‘difficult to harvest’ crop of maize. Despite heavy rain that submerged parts of the crop, it came through and established extremely well once the land had dried, displaying excellent early vigour. “We went with Astound, based on its high untreated yield and a relatively high treated yield and to achieve nearly 10t/ha following late drilling, just a modest fungicide package and the very challenging weather conditions it endured was a very positive result overall. Grain quality was excellent, and, in better growing conditions with earlier establishment, I feel that it’s a variety capable of challenging the highest yielding winter wheats we’ve grown in recent years,” he said. Further south in Leicestershire, Rutlandbased grower George Renner achieved 9.2t/ha on a crop of Group 3 soft wheat Merit. “We eventually drilled during the fourth week of October, later than

desired due to adverse weather and, despite not being in a particularly high risk septoria area, we took no chances applying a robust fungicide strategy. The crop stood well and coped well with the weather thrown at it and, whilst I was satisfied with 9.2t/ha, the potential for a much higher yield was lost during a sixweek dry spell in late April and May which was then followed by a dull June. “It’s uncomplicated to grow, and with premiums available alongside good marketability, I would certainly recommend it,” added Mr Renner. Positive reports on Merit continued via Kit Papworth (right), who farms near North Walsham in Norfolk. “We grew 14ha of Merit as a seed crop to get a feel for it, late drilled in the second week of December following sugar beet. As with most late-drilled crops, it was slow to emerge before racing through its growth stages the following spring. Tillering nicely, the crop received a robust fungicide programme to combat significant late yellow rust and septoria outbreaks in late May and we were rewarded with a clean crop that should yield over 9t/ha. “Having budgeted the crop at 8.5t/ ha it’s a good overall result. However, looking ahead to next year, on better fields and with an earlier drilling slot, I’d hope we’d be able to easily achieve 10t/ha as a commercial crop. Merit offers growers a range of marketing options, we’re too far from a mill, so the attraction for us would be to grow for export, given our close proximity to the deep-water port of Great Yarmouth and Merit’s UKS approval for soft milling export,” concluded Mr Papworth.

UK sugar beet growers benefit from seed treatments For the 2022 sowing, UK growers will have exclusive access to an innovative new seed treatment, proven to enhance the yield of UK sugar beet crops and ensure a rapid and uniform establishment. In independently verified trials Xbeet Enrich 200 has delivered 1.4% (more than a tonne per hectare) of additional yield when compared to its previous Xbeet Enrich 100 product and other treatments on offer. Germains’ Xbeet Enrich 200 enhancements include biostimulants (derived from natural plant extracts) to improve crop health, accelerate emergence, increase yield, and help the crop reach the critical 12-leaf stage and

mature plant resistance. With increased pressure on the performance of crops, Germains Seed Technology is keen for growers to understand the science behind its leading sugar beet seed treatments. Germains says it always ensures that the best quality of sugar beet seed is delivered to UK growers and perform a series of quality tests to guarantee the seed is of the highest standard for UK growers. As a natural product, the shape

of the incoming raw seed will show a variation in both its size and shape. The company’s pelleting process works with the shape of the natural seed to produce a larger and rounder pellet size suitable for use with all commercial planting equipment. Germains reckons it is normal to see a degree of variation in the pellet size and shape reflecting the natural protrusions of the raw seed’s cortex. The unique Xbeet priming process brings the seed closer to the point of germination. Advancing the seed to an equal stage of the germination ensures uniform emergence under even the most

challenging UK growing conditions, the firm states. Germains operates in the heart of the UK sugar beet growing industry from its global headquarters in Kings Lynn with dedicated research and development facilities. For more information on seed priming visit www.germains.com

Newly-approved flutriafol used this summer in sugar beet

“

This active will be a fantastic tool in a sugar beet growers’ kit, particularly in the face of ever-changing legislation and unpredictable weather.

A new approval for flutriafol in sugar beet, which came into effect in January 2021, provides greater control options for growers in the fight against ramularia and cercospora, following the imminent loss of key fungicide actives in the beet industry. This new crop approval for flutriafol is likely to provide relief to many sugar beet growers who will have fewer options in the fight against disease,

explains Georgia Antoniou, FMC commercial technical manager. “The sugar beet industry has been in the spotlight and seen

several significant changes in the last few years, which has resulted in a decrease in the chemistry available to growers,” she says. “At the same time, cercospora and ramularia are diseases which continue to pose a threat to sugar beet crops, with levels of cercospora in particular reported to be on the increase. This means it’s never been more important for growers to have access to a range of flexible options to help manage disease pressure.” Flutriafol is commonly used in cereal control programmes, as it has proven activity against rust in winter wheat and winter rye. More recently, the chemistry has displayed great control over cercospora in sugar beet trials carried out by FMC. “This active will be a fantastic tool in a sugar beet growers’ kit, particularly

in the face of ever-changing legislation and unpredictable weather,” reckons Ms Antoniou. “The early sugar beet season this year was challenging due to poor weather. However, better weather in the last couple of months has meant crops have been moving quickly through the growth stages and critical timings for disease control in sugar beet will soon creep up,” she explains. “This new approval has come at the ideal time to get ahead of disease risks in the field.” Flutriafol should be applied from growth stage BBCH20 when disease pressure and weather conditions dictate, generally starting towards the end of July. Application can be made up to 0.5-litres/ha, either on its own or in mixture with an appropriate approved partner product. FG

Agronomists sought for biostimulant feedback The UK importer of seaweed-based biostimulant Algifol, MJP Supplies, wants to establish a network of regional agronomists to receive insights and feedback from them and their clients. Marcus Palmer (pictured) is offering free product to those who are chosen to get involved. Algifol is a concentrated brown algae gathered from the North Atlantic, dried and refined to maximise its wealth of trace elements, vitamins, enzymes, amino acids, carbohydrates, polyuronides and growth-regulating plant hormones. It has been distributed in the UK by Mr Palmer since 2005. In that time, Mr Palmer and his customers have applied it to a wide range of crops, including combining peas, potatoes and other vegetables as well as sugar beet, oilseed rape and cereals. Now, Mr Palmer is keen to hear the views of agronomists and their clients. “Last year, we worked with the PGRO, and their field trials on combining peas proved that the

use of Algifol increases yields and reduced foot rot infection,” says Mr Palmer. “We have also worked with several universities and academics who have [concurred]. “Now, though, I’d like to work with independent agronomists and gain their feedback on the product as we look to broaden our knowledge and develop our proposition.” Algifol wants to work with one agronomist in the South East, South West, East and West Midlands, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, the North East and North West of England, as well as Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Sugar beet weed management: Bringing hoeing up-to-date The latest Monosem, precision guided Multicrop cultivator. © Monosem

Sugar beet breeder SESVanderHave operates an extensive UK trials network, critical not only for selecting new genetics and seed treatments, but also to monitor emerging threats from pests, diseases and weeds. “One of the ways we achieve our objectives is by mirroring and anticipating changes to commercial practice in crop management,” says SESVanderHave manager Tim Giles.

“Weed control is critical for all crops, and whilst sugar beet helps address grassweeds like black-grass within the rotation, we need to consider potential resistance build82652

up as the products in the armoury become ever more restricted. The efficacy of the herbicides we have needs to be preserved to cope with climate change effects that may see invasive species emerging. You only have to look at how ragwort has spread across the country to see why. “Combine this with increasing pressure to reduce the volume of agrochemicals used, reduce costs, along with a need to reduce the workload from conventional, or even hand-hoeing trials it was a natural step to invest in a Monosem precision hoe from Toucan. “This addition to our equipment line-up will increase accuracy and working the soil is a proven way to stimulate rooting, help warm the soil, prevent capping and run-off when we get a deluge. In time, we anticipate a greater move to both inter- and in-row mechanical weeding or band spraying to control weeds and disrupt herbicide resistance. So we need to adapt our trials practises accordingly.

“We have a long-standing collaboration with Monosem who worked closely with us to design and build our fleet of precision drills. To develop ways to achieve enhanced weed control within trials is a logical progression of this partnership.” For Steve Twist, managing director of Toucan, it confirms similar messages resonating from sugar beet and fodder beet growers with renewed interest in hoes generally and precision hoes specifically. For organic beet growers, it’s a vital key to successful production. The Monosem Multicrop inter row cultivator chosen by SESVanderHave is particularly sought after for its strength of build, simple adjustment, and array of tools, plus it is fitted with an Isobus task controller to individually lift units by GPS position – reducing crop damage for a far more efficient and accurate operation. The company reckons it is clear from the amount of interest being seen, encouraged by renewed optimism in 2022 sugar beet prices, that demand is building for units to be built and in place for growers next season.

Rural Advice

Which way is the wind blowing? It’s typical that, as more information starts to emerge about future farm subsidies, one of the major factors that makes decisions about land use tricky is blowing the other way. Farm consultancy expert Mark Russell, a partner at Carter Jonas, explains. With cereal crops at circa £140 per tonne, the level of margin was so tight that, when one took out BPS payments, most farm accounts looked fairly sick, and anything the government was going to throw back into the pot would have been a great help. Environmental payments via the voluntary market (carbon credits to big business to you and me) were looking key to underpin future income. However, with cereal prices at circa £170– 185/tonne (as at September 4th 2021), and futures for spring 2022 at £200 plus – what do farmers think now? If one could guarantee prices at this level for the next five years, the answer would be simpler (although arguably input prices would simply rise and swallow up margin). Crop in the ground would be king. But we all know that is not the way it works and, for most of our clients, longer term plans are being put in place to offset BPS losses and change operations to better take account of soil structure and environmental improvements. To make ‘public money for public goods’

stick, the government really needs to understand and include the profit requirement. They are going to be asking businesses to move from producing a tangible product to producing a public good. More ways of calculating the value to the public purse are being created and tested, but it will be for all of us (led by national organisations auditing the value of the public goods purchased) to explain to the public how their money is being spent for their benefit.

Why change? Why look ahead to an era where, as farmers, the products from the land include environmental benefits? The short answer is that there is a market for these goods and therefore it is a valid alternative land use, along with: • Energy (solar, wind, biomass and AD) • Development (houses, commercial space, public realm) • Leisure (equine, dog walking, running routes and cycling tracks) • Commercial woodland.

We are in a period of getting to grips with what the market wants land managers to provide, and there are going to be a number of false starts and re-imaginings of the answers before the products settle down into clear, deliverable options. The method of delivery is also going to develop over time; some will choose to provide the environmental benefit direct to users (just as farming families often set up a butchery to sell stock as a product not a commodity). Some will let the land out to third parties who will, in turn, engage with the end consumer, and yet others will produce these goods as a commodity and either sell the product to the public via the government or put their product into a joint marketing arrangement to multiply up the bargaining power of each small producer. Indeed, different elements of environmental production may lend themselves to certain delivery methods. Regenerative agriculture, rewilding and use of environmental subsidy schemes will all play their part in recreating the mosaic of land uses within any of our national landscapes. What needs to be remembered is that less production will mean less people employed on the land and, whilst some will be required to steward environmental areas, new skills will need to be learnt within and outside farming. We continue to emphasise to government consultations our clients’ business needs and the needs of farming as a community, so that these views can filter through to the future schemes. We are also engaging with those looking to source environmental services and those providing them, and there is an imaginative period in front of us where schemes are designed to meet individual needs – be that BNG, ESG or carbon requirements. We are looking at deals whereby traders rent land, professional services are provided to produce marketable environmental benefits, and even carbon treatment is included within Farm Business Tenancy Rent Negotiations. When budgeting forwards, we are not using £200 per tonne, but more closely following the averages over a number of years – this helps make decisions that protect clients’ businesses going forward.

New combine meets expectations in difficult harvest Two Essex farmers who each invested in John Deere X9 high-capacity combines for this harvest have been delighted with the performance. David Williams reports. Both combines were supplied by main dealer Tuckwells, and territory sales manager for the Dunmow and Rayleigh depots, Tim Thornton said interest in the new range flagship continues to grow. “We have received very positive feedback from both users, including daily work rates equivalent to the combined output of the two combines each of them replaced. “Continuous damp working conditions and large volumes of straw made this harvest a challenge, but the John Deere HDX Hinged Draper header coped well in all crops and supplied an even feed to the rotors to optimise output and minimise losses. “We received a lot more enquiries this harvest from farmers and contractors considering buying an X9 to replace their current John Deere combines as well as other brands, so we have already decided to add one to our demonstration fleet for next harvest.”

Simpler system Trading as JR & EH Nott, and based at Ovington Hall on the Essex/Suffolk border, James Nott replaced his two John Deere S690 combines equipped with 635R 35ft headers, with one X91100 with an HD45X 45ft header. The X9-1100 is powered by a 13.6-litre 6-cyl engine producing up to 690hp between 1,700–1,900rpm, but in tough conditions when the engine revs are pulled down under load, maximum 3,000Nm torque is achieved at 1,500rpm, so operators can maximise work rates in difficult working conditions without fear of blockages. James tried the new X9 combine on his farm last harvest before placing his order. “I think the X9 is remarkable,” he said. “A competitor’s machine with a lot more power was also considered, but we preferred the John Deere. One of the best features is the HDX header, which is a massive step up from those on our previous

The performance of the HD45X Hinged Draper header is described as excellent by James Nott. Its ground-hugging ability ensures laid barley is picked up effectively and 1.2m deep rubber cross belts feed crops head-first into the combine for optimum threshing performance.

machines. Three sections move independently for accurate contour following and the table can be tilted forward to push the knife under laid crops and ensure nothing is missed. Cross conveyors maintain an even feed to the threshing system. The combine easily harvests 70ha of cereals per day, including moving between fields and without working late, so if we are under pressure and need to achieve 85ha or even more then this won’t be a problem. Average losses are well under one per cent which is incredibly low.”

Matches combined output “The single X9 matches the combined output of our two previous machines, and the whole operation is easier to manage,” continued James. “Corn cart drivers head straight to the combine so that they are nearby as soon as the tank is full, and they don’t waste time travelling to the second machine just to top up the trailers before heading to the store. Moving between fields is more efficient too. When two combines are used – one usually stays to finish a field while the continued over…

A Ziegler header trailer was purchased from importer Abrey Agricultural. Four-wheel steering means it accurately follows the wheel tracks of the towing vehicle and James Nott commented that it allows narrow gateways to be negotiated with ease.

door to check and clean it, but it was always spotless so I don’t check it as often now.” The X9’s wheelbase is slightly longer than the S690’s, but Steve said manoeuvrability is just as good. He says the cab is quiet and comfortable and the controls are easy to use. His criticisms are minor, and include the unloading auger design as even when folded for transport it sticks out a long way at the rear, and the shape of the header backplate which accumulates barley awns until they restrict the operator’s view of the central section of the knife.

other travels to open up the next one, but both need corn trailers with them, and tractors and people are needed to escort them, and to help remove, transport and reattach the headers. There is also twice the daily maintenance. Running one machine is more efficient and saves time.”

Range of crops Much of the land is contract-farmed. Crops include milling and feed wheats, malting and feed barleys, oilseed rape, beans, and peas this year for the first time in two generations farming the land. Spring oats are also grown, and sugar beet and maize are part of the rotation. “The previous John Deere S690 combines were great in minority crops and very gentle on grain for seed and malting, but we wanted a simpler life while maintaining the productivity to make the most of available weather windows to complete harvest on time,” continued James. “As soon as harvesting started this year, it was obvious that the new system was more efficient. Time saved chasing two combines around the field means we have reduced the trailer size from 20t to 14t. The larger trailers couldn’t hold two full tanks of grain from the X9 anyway, so it’s more efficient to empty a full tank once, and head to the store. Using smaller trailers is working well, and it’s safer too.”

Challenging season When Farmers Guide visited the farm, the X9 was harvesting wheat at 65t/hr at 6.5kph, but conditions were damp and the bushel weight was only 68kg. Despite challenging conditions this season, harvesting rates of 80–85tph have been typical, but in wheat yielding 9t/ha this increased to 105tph. Losses are negligible, and James commented that a field drilled with oilseed rape following early harvested winter barley had emerged quickly, with no barley volunteers.

Confidence in dealer James said that the change from running two proven combines to the single X9 hadn’t worried him. “Tuckwells’ back-up is superb and the team sorts any issues as soon as they occur. John Deere and Tuckwells are both excellent, and I am confident that if anything does go wrong that prevents us working then there will already be

a contingency plan in place.” Most machinery is supplied by Tuckwells, and the eight-tractor fleet includes six John Deeres, a large tracked tractor of another brand, plus a specialist slurry applicator. All the tractors and the combine are monitored through the John Deere Operations Center app – which James describes as a great management tool. “John Deere seems to get things right, and we bought one of the latest 8RX tractors earlier this year which has proved a real game changer. It was chosen for drilling, but it is proving so versatile that it is preferred now for almost all the top-work. “The Tuckwells team is always interested in what we are doing, and we deal mainly with sales representative Steve Buckett and the service manager Glen Sweeting. Roger Gregory has serviced our combines for the past 30 years and is never phased by problems – he just gets on and fixes them.”

Impressive design Combine operator Steven Mynott is also impressed by the combine’s design and describes its performance as fantastic. “I usually set up the combine using John Deere’s default settings for the crop, then experiment with the optimisation. The design makes it easy to achieve high work rates with minimal losses and the sample quality is excellent.” Steven said the HDX header’s contour following accuracy makes his job much easier. “On the third headland pass when travelling across the tramlines there is usually no need to reduce the speed as the header floats so well. It hugs the ground, and in laid crops just tilting the header forward to push the knife down under the crop ensures nothing is left on the ground.” Double knife sections achieve an excellent cut even in dense straw in damp conditions, and Steven said that he often hasn’t realised when blade sections have been damaged until checking the combine the next morning as the cutting performance remains so good. “Daily maintenance is quick and easy, and the engine bay remains clear of dust and chaff. I cleaned the engine air filter for the first time after harvesting 500ha, and although a small amount of dust was present it definitely didn’t need cleaning. For the first few days I opened the cooling pack

“We saved capital expenditure by replacing two combines with one, but we have also reduced our fuel and maintenance costs,” stressed James. “Our two S690 combines consumed approximately 750 litres of diesel each per day, and the X9 uses approximately 800 litres but does twice the amount of work. The X9-1100’s engine usually operates between 1,700–1,900rpm whereas the S690s operated at 2,100, but the fuel economy isn’t only due to the new engine – the whole combine design is very clever and efficient. “We have also reduced our labour requirement as only one combine operator is needed and we use one less grain cart, but for me the biggest advantage is that we achieve work rates similar to before while the whole operation is so much easier to manage.”

Running one combine an attractive option An X9-1000 was chosen to replace two John Deere S680 combines with 30ft headers by Dunmow, Essex-based Coleman & Bennett. In 2016, neighbouring farming operations owned by the Coleman and Bennett families merged their cultivating and drilling activities, and in 2017 all other farm operations except spraying were also combined. Approximately 1,700ha is farmed on land owned, rented and on FBTs, and approximately 265ha of additional contract cultivations and drilling are carried out for other farms. The two S680s were due for updating last year at the same time as one of the long-term combine operators was due to retire, so the opportunity to change to one combine – reducing the labour requirement – was an attractive prospect. “When it was suggested that one X9 could match the continued over…

output of our two previous combines, it became a simple decision,” explained Jack Coleman. “We have always used John Deere tractors and combines on our farm, and a CTS twin-rotor combine was bought from Tuckwells in 2011, then when we merged the farming operations in 2017, each farm bought an S680 with a 30ft header and the two were then run and maintained as a pair.”

Dealer team is like family The tractor fleet includes six John Deeres, all supplied by Tuckwells. “The dealer is key to everything we do, and we regard the Dunmow depot team as part of our family,” he added. “Originally we considered replacing the two S680s with two S690s, but when we heard that the X9 was coming we decided to wait. We didn’t see one working before we placed our order but had faith in John Deere and Tuckwells, and we also asked the opinion of James Nott as we knew he had tried it on his farm. “Simpler logistics with one combine, one header trailer, one driver and one bowser appealed, so we ordered an X9-1000 which had been one of the trial machines during 2020.”

Performance without losses As soon as the X9 arrived, its performance impressed both families. “Conditions have been challenging with a lot of unripe grains in the barley,” explained Jack. “However, the HDX header achieves even, heads-first feeding for optimum threshing performance and it had no problem picking up laid crops at 7.5kph. Oilseed rape yielding 2.5t/ha was harvested at 7kph with minimal losses at a work rate of 8ha/hr – which was more than we could have done with the two S680s together. “We changed from two combines with a combined cutting width of 60ft, to the X9 with 40ft, and while we struggled to believe the new combine would actually harvest as much in a day, it is doing it with no problems.” Opportunities to work are increased. “We can definitely harvest later into the evening with the X9,” continued Jack. “The HDX header allows harvesting to continue after other combines would have stopped, and its ability to pick up

the crop then feed it heads first evenly to the intake elevator is impressive and is a key factor in getting the best out of the machine.” Grain losses average well below one per cent, stressed Jack, and in winter barley yielding 7.2t/ ha harvested at 6.5–7.0kph at the start of the season, total losses were just 0.2 per cent.

Significant cost savings Running one combine instead of two is reducing the farm’s fuel costs, as similar daily work rates are achieved with less total fuel consumption. Jack’s father Michael said significant cost savings are also achieved through having only one combine operator – equivalent to the typical gross margin from 40ha of cereal crops. “We were nervous moving from two combines to one, but there were opportunities for significant cost savings,” Michael continued. “If we have an exceptionally difficult season and struggle, then we always have the option to hire an additional combine from several neighbours. Challenging weather has created difficult working conditions this harvest, but the X9 is coping well.”

Pleasure to operate Operator Alex Shutes joined Coleman and Bennett last year having previously operated a competitor brand combine elsewhere, and he described the cab as excellent, and said John

John Deere UK harvesting products area sales manager Charlotte Pheysey told Farmers Guide that potential customers often doubt the X9’s capabilities, as the engine is less powerful than many competitors. “The design is so efficient that it matches or exceeds the performance of other top-of-therange combines without needing as much power.”

Can-A

Deere’s machine management systems make it easy to get the best from the machine. “The work rate is phenomenal and the header seems to suck all crops in heads first, whatever the conditions.”

Trust in the dealer “We have a fantastic relationship with the Tuckwells team and just can’t fault them,” concluded Michael. “We wouldn’t have had the confidence to rely on only one combine if we didn’t have that much trust in our dealer, and if problems occur then we know we will be back working quickly.” FG

A demonstration day organised by Tuckwells on land farmed by Coleman & Bennett was attended by teams from John Deere, Tuckwells and the farm.

Are you ready for winter? In preparation for the approaching colder months, Ceres Machinery says it has the ideal machine – the Ceres 20t Log Splitter is a very powerful and capable machine, recommended by all levels of firewood processors, which is suitable for agricultural and commercial use. The Log Splitter is able to cope with a wide variety of wood with ease, including knotted, twisted and burled rings, as well as root balls. It is powered by a hydraulic ram that produces 20 tonnes of pressure and it is operated by the safe and easy-to-use twin-handled operation, which meets all the latest safety requirements.

JTE

The legally required twin-handle operation works its own independent spool block, with the splitter only requiring a single-acting hydraulic feed from its power source. The Log Splitter has Category 1/2 linkage mounting for use with a tractor, but alternatively it can be used with a hydraulic power pack or telehandler.

The central beam is robust and strong, limiting the possibility of any bending or twisting during operation of the Log Splitter, while the speciallyshaped splitting head slices through wood effortlessly, with a maximum splitting height of 650mm. The base of the splitter is fabricated from checker plate which prevents the danger of the wood sliding. The Ceres Log Splitter can be used as a single piece, or in conjunction with the optional heavyduty table. The table makes a great addition, increasing the splitter's efficiency and ergonomics, with a height of 710mm, a width of 1,980mm, which provides a working space of 740mm on either side of the centrally-positioned splitter, and a top thickness of 6mm. The heavy-duty table is particularly useful for processing large quantities of wood, because it makes the process of loading bags, boxes or bins much quicker and easier. The table also comes complete with Category 1/2 linkage mounting and two large box section feet for stability as well as compatibility with forklifts and loaders. The splitter is easily detachable from the table, meaning that you have the choice of using the Log Splitter alone, so you can still gain access to challenging environments. Both the Log Splitter itself and the heavy-duty table come painted as standard. Alternatively, they are available with a hard-wearing, galvanised finish, for increased longevity and durability. Due to the splitter and the table being separate components, you can choose whether to have both or either parts with the galvanised finish. FG

Onion harvester launches into the market The latest product to come to market in the ScanStone range is the lightweight and nimble ScanStone Panther Onion and Bulb Harvester, equipped with a specially designed front lifting unit. The configuration comprises of an onion lifting unit at the front end, complete with a square bar and paddles for gently conveying the crop into the machine. The USP of the ScanStone Panther is the individual hydraulic control of each of the lifting unit’s functions; independently controlled square bar; independently controlled intake web and independently controlled flappy paddle. The square bar is driven with a sturdy belt, meaning that in dusty conditions there is no abrasive effects with an oil and greasy chain mixing with dust, sand or earth. The belt allows the square bar

to drive at the optimum height without having a hydraulic motor too close to the ground. Manual depth wheels carry the lifting unit to a set height. The crop is then conveyed to a longer main web. This web has a rocker agitator to help separate any last bits of soil or root balls. This long web then passes onto another mechanically driven web before going onto the hydraulically controlled transfer web and then into the cart elevator. The new cart elevator from ScanStone comes with higher and stronger active fingers on the sides to keep all the crop safely inside the

elevator before it reaches the trailer. A self-centring lane adjuster ram is at the operator’s finger tips on a joystick control. This ensures the crop is always loading exactly into the middle of the lifting unit without missing anything at either side. Once the joystick is released, the machine will automatically recentre itself for smooth continuous harvesting. This feature can be switched on or off from the comfort of the cab. The robust turret style steering system is fully controlled from a proportional joystick on the control box, this allows precise steering control if the machine is being controlled manually. The steering gear on the Panther machine, like all ScanStone trailed machines, comes GPS ready. The turret system has eight stud axles, which are simply adjusted to various track widths. The Panther is fitted with the usual ScanStone premium features such as LED road lights, working lights and centralised grease banks for bearings as part of the standard equipment. The colour screen control box features an auto levelling system, full headland management system and simple joystick controls. To find out more about this product visit the company’s website or speak to one of its five depots; Forfar, Brigg, Lakenheath, Kilkeel (Northern Ireland) or Chepy, Northern France. ScanStone is constantly building a stock portfolio in all the depots to make sure the correct parts are on the shelves for both the long-established and new customers in the respective areas. FG

although we weren’t inconvenienced because the dealer loaned us an equivalent model until ours arrived,” commented Nigel. “We couldn’t have asked for better service, and we always had a suitable tractor available for the work we had planned for our own machine.”

Great working environment

New brand and dealer impress on Cambridgeshire farm Changing tractor brands and dealers is proving a good decision for a large Cambridgeshire arable farm. David Williams reports. Based at Weston Colville near Cambridge, Nigel Clayson is farm manager for Henry D’abo Farming. Arable crops are grown on 900ha of challenging soils, ranging from heavy clay to sand over chalk. “Early last year, our 260hp main wheeled tractor was due for updating and, although we had used another brand for many years, the Ernest Doe area sales representative happened to call in to our yard asking us to try a New Holland,” Nigel explained. “The farm used Ford and New Holland tractors many years ago, until a previous farm manager changed brands. Because the tractors performed well and we received good back-up from the local dealer, there was no reason to consider alternatives.”

Successful demonstration A New Holland T7.290 HD was trialled, and the farm’s operators preferred it. When quotes were considered, the Ernest Doe offer appeared better value. “Being able to buy a tractor we liked more for less money made it an easy decision – so we ordered the ex-demonstration machine,” confirmed Nigel.

Second successful demo As the New Holland T7 HD tractor was performing so well and the service from Ernest Doe had proved excellent; Nigel requested a demonstration of a larger New Holland T8 last autumn. The crawler’s main role had been pulling a Vaderstad Top Down cultivator and the Rexius press, but the T8 handled each of them easily, and it proved just as popular with operators as the farm’s T7 HD. In January this year, a new T8.435 Genesis was ordered with delivery anticipated in time for the start of autumn cultivations. The new T8 Genesis arrived in early September, several months later than planned, and was one of the first of its type supplied by Ernest Doe. “The delay was unfortunate

Harper Adams placement student Emma Mayers was the loan tractor’s main operator and spent more than 100 hours in the cab. “My previous experience was limited to corn carting with the T7, so it was quite daunting when I first used the T8. However, Nigel and the farm’s main machinery operator Glynn Taylor gave me good instruction, and finding my way around the bigger tractor’s IntelliView 12 monitor and SideWinder Ultra armrest proved really easy. The cab is comfortable, and the visibility is excellent which was a big help getting used to the machine.”

New Holland preferred Glynn Taylor has worked on the farm for 11 years and is very impressed by the New Holland tractors. “We got on well with the previous brand but I think the tractors were overpriced. Having spent a lot of time on the T7 HD and some time on the T8 Genesis loan tractor I now far prefer New Holland,” he confirmed. Olivia Abrey is Ernest Doe’s area sales representative responsible for the farm’s account. “I’m really excited to have delivered the new T8 Genesis to Nigel and his team. It has plenty of power to achieve the productivity the farm needs, and it comes with technology and user aids which will match or exceed anything offered by competitor brands. It has lots of advanced technology systems which are well thought-out and easy to set up and use, and provide benefits for the farm. The tractor was purchased with a four-year, 4,000-hour warranty and an Ernest Doe service package for continued over…

Change of policy For many years tracked tractors were preferred for heavy cultivations, but advances in tyre technology including better grip, and the ability to operate at lower inflation pressures to increase the ground contact area and reduce compaction led to a change in farm policy. “Our twin-track crawler was excellent for heavy draft work, but we only used it for part of the year as it couldn’t do other tasks,” continued Nigel. “We believed that a powerful wheeled tractor with the latest tyres could replace the crawler for heavy draft work, but it would also be suitable for lighter cultivations and top work as well as transport tasks. Changing to the wheeled tractor would also solve the issue we experienced with uneven headlands caused by the twin-tracks scuffing during turns.”

Ernest Doe area sales representative Olivia Abrey says she is excited to have delivered the New Holland T8.435 Genesis to Nigel and his team at Henry D’abo Farming. Pictured (l-r): Olivia, Nigel and Ian Roberts.

Future business “Although there is an Ernest Doe depot quite close to us, we hadn’t bought anything for decades until we borrowed the demonstration T7,” Nigel added. “We deal with Olivia, plus the Fulbourn branch and sales manager Andrew Buttress as well as the depot service manager Matthew Thomas mainly, but the whole team is great.” A smaller tractor of the previous brand remains on the farm and is due for updating shortly.

whether it will also be replaced by a New Holland; Nigel confirmed this is likely. “The service from Ernest Doe is excellent, so it would make sense to buy another tractor with the same back-up from the same team,” he explained. “Since buying the T7 HD we have also bought other machinery. Persistent wet weather last winter meant we struggled to get seed in the ground using our disc drill, and we replaced it with a KRM tine drill from Ernest Doe which performed well and will be used for all our crops in future. “I’m sure we will buy a lot more from Ernest Doe. The service we have received from the dealer and from New Holland will encourage us to consider additional products from the range in future. We know our business is valued,” he concluded. FG

Transforming post-harvest box filling worldwide Since its launch in 2019, the MonstaFill box filler from Tong Engineering has proved invaluable in transforming post-harvest box filling for growers worldwide, from the UK and Ireland, to Australia and the USA. Now, several new models of the MonstaFill twin-head box filler are in production at Tong’s new purpose-built manufacturing facility, demonstrating its role in bringing real benefits to growers both in reducing labour requirements and increasing throughput. Built to combine high capacity and gentle box filling, with reduced

when an empty box is presented under the hopper, the MonstaFill detects the box and gently discharges crop to the box. “The success of the original models of the MonstaFill in our home and export markets has seen further design developments to suit different box sizes and specific customer requirements,” says Richard Knighton, sales manager at Tong Engineering. “The MonstaFill can now be specified to suit one and two tonne boxes, as well as a new Dolav bin model.” The simple in and out forklift action to remove full boxes and subsequently present empty ones makes for a seamless process; there is no waiting for the forklift and the machine can be easily operated by one forklift. The MonstaFill can fill boxes to

level or weight. Integrated loadcells in the machine’s hopper tanks allow boxes to be quickly and accurately filled to a pre-determined weight, with the latest models featuring a new large digital display for enhanced visibility of the weight in each box. “We are delighted at how the MonstaFill is performing and its global popularity,” says Richard. “It is always great to see a new product come into its own. One customer in the UK is achieving throughputs of up to 90t/hour when using the MonstaFill with our latest FieldLoad PRO fieldloading machine. The MonstaFill has transformed their daily throughput capabilities so much that we have just completed manufacture on a further two MonstaFill machines to advance their potato handling operations even further.” FG

forklift movements, the MonstaFill box filler ensures a continuous box filling process. Featuring a rubberlined holding hopper at each end of the machine’s main crop conveyor; once one hopper is full the machine automatically begins to fill the second hopper.

Hydraulic quickhitch system: An innovative and sustainable enhancement Kramer-Werke GmbH has unveiled a new, fully-hydraulic and patented quickhitch system, offering complete flexibility with continued maximum performance. According to Kramer, the fullyhydraulic quickhitch system ‘Smart Attach’ will ensure greater productivity, efficiency and safety. The dimensions of both the original Kramer quick change plate and the new quickhitch systems are identical, so existing attachments can continue to be used. Hydraulically-driven attachments can be coupled without getting in

and out of the vehicle, as connection with the hydraulic circuit is automatic. The attachment is locked and hydraulically coupled, with automatic pressure release, by a simple touch of a button with a secure two-hand operation. With the coupling unit’s integrated locking display, the operator can always see that the attachment is connected to the machine successfully and securely.

For all machines already fitted with the new quickchange plate, the display also features a corresponding illuminated indicator. What makes the new Smart Attach system so special, therefore, is its total flexibility. On the one hand, attachments without the hydraulic function and attachments with the conventional hydraulic coupling system can still be used. And on the other, customers

also have the option of retrofitting older attachments or using new attachments that are customised exworks to the Smart Attach quickhitch system, with the tried-and-trusted quick change plate. This flexible solution is unique on the market. The patented system, with floating coupling storage, also ensures that there is no wear on the quick coupler. Consequently, not only is there no need for constant interruption to the scheduled work process, operators are also able to make quick and safe use of the appropriate attachment for the relevant application. Smart Attach is a boon for the ubiquitous silage bucket not always achieving optimal results, enabling it to be re-coupled quickly and easily as required on a gentle bale spike. This total compatibility with maximum performance ensures a targeted increase in efficiency. Initially, the system will be offered as an option in the large 5-Series as well as for some machines in Kramer's premium 8-Series range. As well as the attachments already factory-fitted for these machines, corresponding retrofit kits will also be provided ex-works to enable existing attachments to be fitted with the system. FG

Tractor range upgrades increase appeal A demonstration day by Valtra UK provided an opportunity to try out the latest 5th gen N- and T-series models in the field. David Williams enjoyed his time in the cab.

The UK is Valtra’s third largest sales market after France and Germany, and the brand currently achieves a 6% UK market share. Significant range upgrades included in the latest 5th generation line-up increase productivity and comfort, although the power ratings remain the same as before. First to receive the 5th generation Valtra design treatment was the new G5-series launched last year, then the entry A-series was updated earlier this year. Now the popular N- and T-series have been upgraded, leaving only the largest S-series outstanding.

N5-series

A5-series

T5-series

The Valtra line-up includes seven A5-series models from 75–135hp. Simple mechanical 12x12 transmission is available across the range, but the 3-cyl A75, A85 and A95 models can also be specified with two powershift gears as HiTech 2 versions with 24x24 transmission. The most popular A105 and A115 are also available as HiTech 4 variants with electronically controlled, four-step powershift giving 16x16 gears. HiTech 4 models can also be equipped with a creeper transmission.

The T5-series includes eight models from 155–235 rated horsepower, and 170–271hp with boost. There is also a T175 Eco model in the line-up offering increased fuel efficiency. Engines are all 6-cyl and the smaller T145 and T155 models have a 6.6-litre version, and T175 models and larger come with 7.4-litre power units. Transmission choice includes 5-speed powershift for HiTech, Active and Versu specifications and stepless CVT for the Direct. “There is demand for simple, high horsepower, high-speed tractors for transport tasks without complex electronics, and the T5-series can have a 57kph top speed, with mechanical hydraulics as an efficient and cost-effective package,” stressed Andy. “But we can also supply it to suit the most demanding field applications, with class-leading automation and precision farming systems. For a

G5-series The G5-series fills the gap between A5 models and the larger N5-series and includes five models of 105, 115, 125 and 135hp. G125 Eco versions are designed to save fuel with massive torque available in boost mode. Valtra Shuttle six-speed powershift is standard.

With N104, 114 and 124 models discontinued, the N5-series has been slimmed down to four 4-cyl, 4.9-litre engine models of 135, 155 and 175hp (201hp max). The N135 and N155 both come with an extra 10hp boost, there are Eco and standard versions of the N155, and the flagship N175 has another 30hp available to boost up to 201hp. N5-series transmission options include 5-speed powershift for HiTech, Active and Versu specifications, and stepless CVT in the top Direct version.

The N5-series includes four models with 4-cyl, 4.9-litre engines from 135–201hp, and with Valtra Shuttle powershift or CVT transmissions.

The T5-series includes nine models with 6-cyl, 6.6-litre or 7.4-litre engines producing 155–271hp. Transmission choice includes the new Valtra Shuttle five-step powershift or CVT.

large tractor it’s very manoeuvrable with a tight turning circle, which saves time on field headlands and improves efficiency for transport applications and loader work too.”

First impressions The press demonstration day in South Yorkshire featured the new N5 and T5 models for the first time, working with Amazone implements. The two series share many new design features including revised styling, new smart functions, and redesigned cabs. Valtra Connect is available for both series. In the cab, one of the most

obvious upgrades is a new A-pillarmounted display. This replaces the traditional instruments behind the steering wheel and the top section constantly shows all essential operating information, while the lower section can be customised to suit the task and user. On HiTech and Active models the display is also used to adjust engine and transmission settings. On Versu and Direct models, the A-pillar display and SmartTouch terminal show selected information determined by the application – although the operator can choose what is shown on which display too. continued over…

The cab design is excellent. A new A-pillar display shows essential operating information and the lower section is easily customised to suit the task and operator preference.

…from previous page

Revised controls The new forward and reverse shuttle lever makes it easier to change direction when switching between different controls such as the SmartTouch lever or the TwinTrac shuttle. Models with the SmartTouch terminal have a redesigned righthand control panel, and extra seat swivel improves comfort while keeping an eye on rear-mounted implements. Improved storage includes a handy phone holder and there are electronic power points for charging and powering electronic devices. The new Valtra Evolution seat has a backrest which swivels with the driver and it maintains back support when the driver turns partially to monitor implements at the rear. A new, Premium cab interior is an option.

Increased efficiency More than 80 per cent of Valtras supplied in the UK have Valtra Connect telematics. “With the owner’s permission, Valtra Connect links the dealer, tractor and customer and can improve productivity and reduce downtime,” pointed out Andy. “As the system has developed there have been greater benefits for customers, and now dealer service staff regard it as an essential tool for fault diagnosis during servicing and repairs.” Five years ago, only 5% of Valtras were equipped from the factory with

GPS guidance, but that has increased to 83% this year. “Farmers are under pressure to optimise working efficiency and reduce costs, and GPS guidance can reduce overlaps when spraying or spreading and help maintain accurate work records,” he stressed. “Valtra Guide, Task Doc and Section Control are all easy to set up and use through the SmartTouch display. “For base specification HiTech and Active tractors without SmartTouch, the Xtend display remains an option. This brings the benefits of GPS guidance to users who don’t need additional features of premium Versu and Direct models and it provides a practical and cost-effective solution for fertiliser and slurry applications on smaller livestock farms. Users can create operating profiles and store or transfer them to other tractors on a USB stick. This saves time setting up and ensures continued accuracy.” Auto U-Pilot is new, and combines Valtra’s headland management system with Valtra Guide, controlling the implement with greater precision on headlands for improved accuracy and reduced operator effort.

Loading efficiency Precision farming upgrades have been added for loader work too, with the Valtra Precision Lift & Load app, available for G, N and T-series tractors with SmartTouch terminals. Precision Lift & Load uses a new loader weighing function to weigh each load on the bucket or fork as it is handled. The app collects weight data and when the task is completed, the information can be transferred to an Excel spreadsheet for records or analysis. Upper and lower loader movement limits can be set as well as maximum angles, and the loader and attachment movement stops automatically as soon as the limit is reached. An automatic bucket shake function is also included. Various operating profiles for different attachments and situations can be set and stored for quick recall.

door opening make it easy to enter the cab, and with the steering wheel moved forward there is plenty of space to get into the seat. The cab interior is attractive and well finished. From the base HiTech to the top Versu and Direct specifications, the layout is excellent, and all the controls are within easy reach. The new pillar-mounted display is larger than expected and makes the most of space available without obstructing the view. The display is clear and logically laid out, and the lower section is customised using a rotary selector and buttons to select information. Pulling away under load in the B and C speed ranges is made easier by Valtra’s Start Boost feature which makes full power available until the speed increases. The cab is very quiet, and there is little vibration. The test fleet included models with standard mechanical or active cab suspension, and both proved equally comfortable for field work. Visibility from the five-pillar cab is excellent all around, including down to the implement at the rear. Valtra fits decent size side mirrors which provide a good view behind.

Smoothest powershift transmission Top, Direct specification offers the smoothest operation and greatest control with infinitely variable CVT transmission, but the most noticeable improvement when testdriving the new N5- and T5- series HiTech, Active and Versu models was the new Valtra Shuttle five-step powershift. It’s much smoother than the previous gearbox in N4- and T4series predecessors, and in automatic mode it was hard to tell when ratio changes occurred whether slowing down or accelerating hard with

a cultivator in the ground. Ratios were perfectly matched and there appeared to be no loss of power. For operators used to a brief pause followed by a lurch as drives reengage; the new Valtra transmission will prove extremely popular and reduce fatigue during long working days in the field or on the road. The SmartTouch display on Versu and Direct models allows settings to be changed quickly and easily and it takes little time to get used to the logical menus.

Verdict The new N5- and T5- series Valtras are impressive, and even those currently loyal to competitor brands would find it hard not to be impressed. The cab is spacious, quiet, and comfortable and if one of Valtra’s four standard specifications doesn’t include the features wanted, then the Unlimited Studio will almost certainly oblige.

Demand remains strong Valtra UK national sales manager Alan Sanderson was at the event, and he told Farmers Guide that demand for the latest 5-series models is strong. “Things are looking good, and we are increasing our volume and market share. With the new G5-series, our product portfolio has grown, and we can offer a wider range of specifications and features in all sizes. Valtra’s Unlimited Studio is extremely popular - allowing customers to tailor all aspects of the tractor to suit their needs. “Agco has invested heavily in Valtra including the new models, a new paint shop and improved distribution, and this makes us well prepared for continued sales growth.” FG

In the field The latest Valtras feature attractive but practical styling. Access for servicing and daily checks is excellent, and the cooling packs fold out for clearing accumulated dust and chaff. Improved cab steps and a large

With increased horsepower, better traction, enhanced comfort, and so much more, Can-Am is rolling into the new model year with some serious swagger. For 2022, Can-Am is upping the ante, becoming the first side-byside manufacturer to offer a 200hp engine. That’s a lot of power. And coupled with an all-new pDrive roller clutch system, the entire dynamic changes through quicker acceleration and instant-on power at all times. And while the Can-Am Maverick delivers the best power-toweight ratio in its class, BRP claims, handling remains critical to all-round performance. “The 2022 Can-Am Maverick is the pinnacle of performance side-byside vehicles,” said Hailie Deegan, professional racer and Can-Am brand ambassador. “And the best part of working with Can-Am, is they keep making it better and better. There’s no other choice if you’re in the market for the best, and if you enjoy watching others try to keep up in the rearview.” Can-Am is introducing two new Rotax engines to its lineup – the HD7/700 ACE and the HD9, replacing the HD5, HD8, and 800. The Rotax HD7 is set to become the new ruler of the lower-HP class. It will be available in the Can-Am Traxter, where it replaces the HD5 with 37% more power, and with a sportier calibration, it will power the Maverick Trail 700. The new engine is optimised for off-road usage, delivering an improved experience with less noise, less vibration, and a cooler environment for passengers, resulting in a more comfortable ride. The Rotax HD9 option replaces the HD8 in the Can-Am Traxter range. It is a larger, more powerful engine that delivers 30% greater horsepower than its predecessor. It promises the same dependability, with even more workability by way of class-leading power and low-end torque. On top of the engine upgrades, Can-Am is fine-tuning its Traxter line-up with the expansion of the ABS on some HD9 and HD10 models. Those models benefit therefore from the innovative Brake and Traction Control System that offers maximum controllability. Those models fitted with ABS are no more limited to

Forage and transport range extended New single-rotor rakes from 3.8–4.6m working width were announced.

The tracking mechanism and balancing arm control the rake’s tracking behind the tractor, including during tight headland turns of up to 20-degrees steering angle. Mechanical damper struts are standard, and hydraulics are an option recommended for difficult working conditions.

Practical and low maintenance

An online launch of new products by Krone included single rotor rakes, a professional specification bale wrapper and a multi-use trailer. David Williams reports. Swadro rakes Three new single-rotor rakes were announced. They are three-point linkage mounted and attach through a compact headstock with a tracking mechanism and a balancing arm. There are two mounting positions, one of which brings the rake close in to the tractor to transfer up to 10% more of the rake’s weight to the front axle, allowing use with smaller, light-weight tractors. Four

top-link coupling positions allow users to achieve optimum lift geometry for three-dimensional ground contour following. Krone’s Jet Effect design lifts the front of the rake first, and lowers the rear first, for a gentle transition to and from the working position. This prevents the tines digging into the ground as they are raised and lowered, and the rake self-aligns to the centre before it is raised out of work.

The new Swadro models have maintenance-free drivelines with an over-run clutch as standard. Overload protection prevents driveline damage if the rake hits an obstruction. A 540rpm PTO drive is standard, while raking speeds down to 350–450rpm can be used depending on the conditions to save power and create optimum swaths. Rotor height adjustment is by a mechanical crank and takes only seconds. The swathing curtain folds manually or by optional hydraulics with added comfort provided by end of ram stroke damping.

Proven technology The rakes incorporate Krone’s proven cardanic suspension and Lift tines with kinked tips that lift forage up off the ground to minimise contamination. The rotor gearboxes are maintenance-free and the DuraMax cam track runs dry and comes with a three-year warranty. Each rotor travels on four wheels and has side angle adjustment to optimise the swath presentation. The rotor tines run close to the wheels for accurate contour following.

Line-up Swadro S 380 – 3.8m working width. Swath width 0.6m–1.3m. Rotor diameter 2.96m with 10 tine arms. Swadro S 420 – 4.2m working width. Swath width 0.8–1.5m. Rotor diameter 3.3m with 13 tine arms. Swadro S 460 – 4.6m working width. Swath width 0.8–1.8m. Rotor diameter 3.6m with 13 tine arms.

Machinery The EasyWrap 165 T is a professional bale wrapper for bales up to 1.65m diameter and weighing up to 1,650kg.

…from previous page

launched last year. Bales of 1.00–1.65m diameter and up to 1,650kg can be wrapped at speeds up to 40rpm. Control is through an Isobus terminal, and there is a separate machine-mounted panel for control while replacing the film. The wrapper mounts to the tractor’s rear linkage using a headstock that swings into position and couples to the lower link arms. A slim drawbar and compact design ensure excellent visibility. The hydraulic drawbar swings to the side for optimum bale collection.

the previous wrapped bale is kept on board, allowing the wrapper to operate as a two-bale accumulator. The wrapping table is formed by four belts which ensure effective bale rolling. Four bobbins keep the bale in position and six bobbins are an option. Wrapping starts as soon as the bale arrives, triggered by a sensor. The film is 750mm wide and pre-stretching of 55 or 70% can be selected. The operator enters the bale size and number of film layers on the terminal, then the system calculates the actual number of layers. The

Gentle handling The bale is loaded gently on to the wrapping table by a sturdy lift arm. The arm is adjusted to suit the bale size without needing tools, and the arm design allows a second bale to be lifted to the wrapping table while

table stops if the film runs out, or the operator can continue working with one roll of film. When wrapping resumes – the bale doesn’t roll until the first full layer has been added to ensure thorough coverage. A bale turner is an option – operated from the cab. The whole wrapping cycle can be automated; from pick-up to dropping the bale after wrapping.

GX Universal trailer Krone’s new GX Universal trailer can carry any type of agricultural cargo. There are two sizes – 44m3 and 52m3. The GX 440 is on twin axles and the larger GX 520 is on triple axles and both versions are Isobus linked and controlled. New GX trailers of 44m3 and 52m3 capacity have a powered floor for unloading.

Unloading is by a fabric belt floor with tractive effort transmitted through two chains, and the belt itself is 2,000mm wide and 3.6mm thick with a 50t breaking strain. The headboard is transparent, and the floor chains are driven by two hydromotors. Unloading is gentle as the floor moves the whole load without compressing it, making the trailers suitable for fragile vegetables or root crops. After unloading, the unloading unit is pulled back to the front. Apart from the gentle operation, advantages include suitability for use in low buildings as the body remains horizontal which also makes unloading safer on uneven ground. A new feature is Krone ExactUnload rate control which allows operators to enter the length of the unloading area, then the unloading floor speed is adjusted, ensuring the load is evenly distributed along the entire length. Intelligent forced axle steering is standard, with mechanical or electrohydraulic activation of the rear axle in a tandem set up, or the front and rear axles in tandem. With an electronic axle steering system in place the angle is controlled proportionate to the travel speed. FG

THE CHOICE OF PROFESSIONALS The utility vehicle of choice for many professionals such as farmers, gamekeepers and grounds-care experts. The Trans Cab system allows the MULE PRO-DXT to be transformed from four-person to two-person mode in less than a minute. The spacious cargo bed has a load capacity of 453kg with two people or 158kg with four people, and a 907kg towing capacity (including trailer and cargo).

Born to Farm event brings new products and features

Massey Ferguson has announced new 6S and 7S tractors, additional 8S models, and upgraded hay and forage machinery. David Williams reports. 6700 S replacements The new 6S series brings an improved user experience, connectivity and smart farming technology to the 135– 180hp sector. The five new models have 4-cyl engines and replace current 6700 S tractors and boast an exceptional power-to-weight ratio. Engine Power Management (EPM) provides 15 or 20 extra horsepower depending on the model, and gives the 6S.180 series flagship up to 200hp. Essential, Panoramic, Efficient or Exclusive specification variants are available. The new 6S-series cab includes features from the larger awardwinning 8S-series of which deliveries to farms started earlier this year. The cab gains improved climate control and noise levels are reduced to only 70dBA. Exclusive and Efficient versions gain a new armrest – linked to the seat and housing controls for the engine, transmission, hydraulics, linkage and PTO, plus the radio and phone. Mechanical or active mechanical cab suspension is available. A suspended front axle is also an option. Cabs with a Visio roof can be specified, offering great vision for loader work.

Multi-function single lever control A new Multipad, Isobus-compatible joystick includes a linkage control rocker switch, cruise settings, driving mode pre-sets and MF Guide activation. It also comes with a micro joystick for convenient control of two electric spool valves. An additional joystick is available to operate a front loader or front linkage, and can also be used for tractor direction and speed control. The new, brighter 9in Datatronic 5 terminal increases functionality

and is easier to use with short-cut keys providing quick menu access. It manages the main tractor functions and MF Technologies including MF Guide and comes with a quick set-up Go Mode. MF Section, MF Rate Control and MF Task Doc data are all available through the display. A new Fieldstar 5 terminal option enables smart operations to be run on a separate screen.

Smart loading Loading accuracy is improved through Massey Ferguson’s new E-Loader. Individual fork or bucket loads of materials can be weighed, and the total recorded. Maximum operating heights can be set and stored for safe operation in low buildings.

Transmissions to suit Transmission options include Dyna-VT Super-Eco infinitely-variable CVT, or Dyna-6 Super-Eco semi-powershift with AutoDrive. Both come with the

MF Power Control lever on the left of the steering column for clutch-less shifting with an adjustable response. Dyna-VT comes with a new Automatic Mode. Activated by an armrest-mounted switch, this allows forward speed adjustment using the Multipad lever or the foot throttle while the engine speed is adjusted to suit the working load and travel speed. Minimum engine speeds can be set on the hand throttle. Super-Eco Dyna-VT can achieve 40kph at only 1,450rpm to reduce fuel consumption. Dyna-6 Super-Eco 24x24 semipowershift allows 40kph travel speed at 1,500rpm. AutoDrive is standard on all models, and automatically shifts the gear ratio relative to the work load and speed. A Super Creeper option provides precise control with speeds down to 70m/hour at 1,400rpm. Brake-to-neutral is standard on all models. MF 6S models have a 2.67m wheelbase and are highly manoeuvrable, with a 4.75m turning radius which the manufacturer claims is the tightest of any 200hp tractor. The new tractors weigh 400kg less than their new 7S-series counterparts which have 6-cyl engines. Gross vehicle weights up to 12,500kg, and a Gross Combination Weight (GCW) of 44.5t means they can safely and legally haul heavy trailers. Rear lift capacity is 9,600kg and 110 litres/min closed-centre, load-sensing hydraulics are standard. A 150 litres/ min hydraulic flow option is available for Dyna-6 models while Dyna-VT versions can have 190 litres/min.

Many 6S tractors will be bought for loader work, and a factory-fitted integrated loader sub-frame is available.

7S models The new 7S series brings in similar upgrades to the new 6S models, but has a longer wheelbase and is powered by 6-cyl, 6.6-litre engines with 155–190hp (rated), and up to 30hp extra available through EPM, giving the flagship MF 7S.190 up to 220hp.

Transmission choices New Dyna-VT Super-Eco is available for all four models, and Dyna-6 SuperEco with Automatic Mode is an option for models up to 180hp.

Capable but compact The 7S series comes with a long 2.88m wheelbase for optimum stability and traction, but still manages to achieve a tight 4.93m turning radius. Gross vehicle weight up to 14t and GCW up to 44.5t make the tractors ideal for handling and towing heavy loads. Maximum linkage capacity is 9,600kg at the rear, and 4,000kg at the front.

Superb cab The 7S cab shares the design with the 6S-series tractors. A new air-suspended seat is standard, and there is also a high-specification version available with heating, ventilation and dynamic damping that responds automatically to uneven surfaces. LED light options include up to 16 work lights. continued over…

The 8S-series has gained two new higher horsepower models including a 305hp flagship. Dyna-VT CVT transmission is a new option for the series, but standard on the 8S.305. New Dyna-VT Super-Eco boosts fuel economy by allowing 40kph at only 1,450rpm. …from previous page

Connectivity The Datatronic 5 display manages tractor functions as well as Isobusequipped implements and GPS guidance through the MF Technologies Precision Farming Suite. MF Guide, MF Section Control and MF Rate Control are all available. Data recorded by TaskDoc is transferred using a USB memory card, and Task Doc Pro allows application maps to be created and synchronised wirelessly with farm management software. MF Connect telemetry is standard on all 7S models.

Additional models The 8S series tractors have proved extremely popular with users since they were announced last year, but many customers have been waiting for Dyna-VT transmission. The option has now been added for the full 8S-series, which also includes two additional models at the top of the line-up with 285hp and 305hp, extending the choice to six models from 205–305hp, with EPM boost up to 20hp depending on model. The new flagship 8S.305 is available only with Dyna-VT transmission and has 305hp for all applications, which is achieved at only 1,850rpm. An extremely flat torque curve provides 1,280Nm of torque between 1,000–1,500rpm, making the new 8S.305 ideal for heavy draft work. The flagship comes only in Exclusive specification, which includes Datatronic 5 and MF vDisplay terminals, active cab suspension, automatic air-suspended seat with dynamic damping, a multi-function armrest, Multipad controls, four electric spools and 16 LED work lights. Other 8S models can have Exclusive or Efficient. Like the models launched previously, the new 8S.285 and 8S.305 both have the Massey Ferguson Protect-U design – a 24cm gap between the front of the cab and the

engine and bonnet which insulates the cab from noise, heat and vibration. Noise levels down to just 68dB make it one of the quietest tractors in its class. Like the 6S and 7S series, the new Dyna-VT transmission for the 8S has Automatic mode allowing the Multipad lever or foot pedal to adjust the forward speed while the engine revs are optimised to suit the speed and load. The Super Eco version of Dyna-VT allows a top 40kph travel speed to be achieved at only 1,450rpm. The new MF 8S.285 has up to 285hp, plus a 20hp boost from EPM for a 305hp maximum for transport, PTO and demanding hydraulic applications. Exclusive or Efficient equipment packages can be specified. Transmission options include Dyna-VT Super Eco; Dyna E-Power dual-clutch with 28 forward and reverse speeds plus seamless shifting through an efficient mechanical drive, or Dyna-7 semi-powershift transmissions are all available.

They come with improved mounting, TurboLift suspension, and a new compact mounting and anticollision system. Working width adjustment allows the operator to set the rear mower to match the front mower and maintain a uniform cut even when cutting around corners. A new, lower mounting system ensures a folded height under 4m for transport, and allows safe vertical storage without extra stands. TurboLift provides a lateral swing angle up to 19 degrees downhill and 30 degrees uphill for close contour following to protect the sward, reduce contamination and improve forage quality. The ground pressure can be set to suit the conditions. Both mowers come with a new generation cutterbar.

Front mowers Available as a mower or a mowerconditioner with roller or tine conditioning – the 3.1m MF DM 316 FP front-mounted mowers come with new mounts for closer coupling and have greater linkage oscillation for improved ground following. Spring suspension is an option for all models and hydro-pneumatic suspension is an option for mower-conditioners. A pendulum pivot allows contours of up to +/- 7.5 degrees to be accurately followed.

Upgraded rakes A new hydraulic lifting front axle enables Massey Ferguson’s new generation 10.6–12.5m four rotor rakes to fold to under 4m for transport. Easily operated from the cab, there

is protection to ensure the rotors only lift or lower when the axle is in the correct position. Upgrades for the larger MF 1404 TRC-Pro include an 11.5–14.0m working width, along with steering tandem axles as a factory-fitted option, as well as new sensors, improved front rotor suspension and modified cam tracks. Additional options for all four-rotor rakes include air braking, 550/45-22.5 tyres, a swath former and a retro-fit Isobus control kit.

Year-round tractor receives significant upgrades

Great option for customers

A new cab, enhanced controls, additional features and extra connectivity feature on the latest generation Optum announced in early September by Case IH. David Williams reports. In 2015, when Case IH launched its Optum models, the new tractors were some of the first designed to satisfy the need for machines capable of a large range of tasks making them suitable for use all year around. Now several manufacturers sell tractors offering similar versatility and the market for these is competitive. Previously most large farms invested in heavy, high-horsepower tractors for heavy cultivations, and smaller, less powerful tractors for transport and top work, but the Optum, also referred to as the long-wheelbase Puma, was relatively light and compact but flexible ballasting allowed it to be weighted up for maximum traction, and there was a choice of powerful engines for heavy cultivations, high-speed top work and transport tasks. A superb cab designed for year-around comfort and a high technical specification completed the attractive package.

Practical updates The latest Optum AFS Connect CVXDrive is the first major update of the series, and borrows many features from the flagship Magnum AFS Connect introduced in 2019, but of which UK deliveries to farms only started this year. A larger cab with a wider door opening sitting above re-profiled rear mudguards and with increased head and leg room is the most noticeable external change. The cab interior is totally different. Like the previous Optum line-up there are three models, with 250, 270 and 300hp (rated). They all come with Case IH CVX Drive CVT transmission.

Cab The longer and higher cab increases the internal volume by 7.5 per cent, and there is 11 per cent more glass than before. Interior noise levels

are only 66db. The MultiController armrest incorporates a new MultiController joystick with configurable buttons, and many of the switches on the armrest itself are also configurable with LED colour coding for ease of use. A new, larger Isobus-compatible AFS Pro 1200 touch-screen terminal at the front of the armrest replaces the previous AFS Pro 700 version, and is used to monitor and set up all primary tractor functions, including the engine, CVXDrive transmission, PTO and hydraulics, and it also displays the image from up to two on-board cameras. Essential operating data including travel speed and engine revs are displayed on a screen on the righthand A-pillar.

Task management The AFS Pro 1200 terminal is also used to manage the AccuGuide automated steering, and full AFS Connect telematics available on the Optum for the first time. Two-way wireless data transfer between the tractor and AFS Connect online management portal allows operating and task data to be viewed from anywhere by the owner and anyone authorised by him. Real-time tractor status information including location, fuel level and key performance data can also be viewed through the portal. Data transfer of job instructions, field maps and task records can also be easily shared. AFS Connect Display Viewing allows managers to share the terminal display on their own device so that they can see the same image as the operator. This allows operating data to be checked and makes it easier for experienced operators and trainers to suggest changes and improvements to the settings. Dealers can, with permission, also

share the data and monitor fault codes for early signs of problems. Updated firmware and new features can be sent wirelessly to the tractor, saving a farm visit.

Greater comfort New materials and the larger windows including the front windscreen make the four-pillar cab brighter than before, and the view from the side windows is enhanced by a revised rear mudguard shape which includes a curve down to the outside edge. Vision to the front is better due to a new curved upper edge to the windscreen and the wiper’s relocation to the base of the screen. For night working – LED work and road light packages are available including up to 14 lights in the roof, four in front of the cab, two on the rear fenders and six in the bonnet. The climate control system is completely new, with more outlets at different levels for maximum operator comfort. Auto-zone control optimises cooling and heating performance leaving the operator free to concentrate on the task. The high-specification seat

Ernest Doe Power general sales manager Ed Perry said customers are excited about the new Optum AFS Connect. “When the Optum arrived six years ago, it satisfied the demand for a new class of versatile tractor,” he explained. “For a 300hp tractor it was relatively small and light, but lifted more than 11t on the rear linkage, and could be ballasted up to 16,500kg. It was equally at home carrying out primary cultivations or fertiliser applications, and the combination of light weight and plenty of power also made it ideal for transport tasks. Its potential for year-around use made it extremely popular. “The latest Optum AFS Connect is another game changer. It comes with equipment and a specification to rival anything else on the market,” Ed continued. “State-of-the-art data handling capability and wireless connectivity will allow farmers to get the most from their task planning and agronomy software, and to maintain accurate records. Tractor downtime will be reduced too, as authorised dealers can diagnose faults remotely, often before breakdowns occur. “This new model is the latest to gain the new technology and improved cab, and we look forward to other tractors in the line-up receiving similar updates in future,” he concluded. FG

The new cab is larger and more comfortable than the previous version, and comes with improved controls and state-of-the-art data handling and wireless connectivity.

How to achieve effective liver fluke control

Norbrook Laboratories’ technical vet offers guidance on fluke risk factors for cattle this year, understanding the fluke life cycle and how to achieve effective and sustainable control. The fluke life cycle Understanding the fluke life cycle is key to controlling the parasite on farm. Adult liver fluke, Fasciola hepatica, live in the bile ducts of the liver in many animal species, including cattle, and can produce thousands of eggs per day. These pass down the bile ducts into the intestines and are then excreted in the faeces. When the temperature is above 10ºC, the eggs develop in the dung and a miracidium hatches. The miracidium only lives for a few hours but if it is able to swim through water and find a mud snail, it can penetrate the snail and infect it. Over weeks to several months later, depending on the environmental temperatures, the miracidium in the snail multiplies to produce huge numbers of cercariae which are released and swim onto grass. Here they form infective cysts called metacercariae. When the grass is eaten the metacercariae are ingested, where they hatch and burrow through the intestine to get to the liver. They then burrow through the liver tissue, causing damage as they go, until they reach the bile ducts and become mature egg-laying adults. Eggs can be found in the faeces of cattle 10–12 weeks after infection with the metacercariae.

What are the risk factors? The risk of liver fluke changes each year and can be unpredictable. Spring 2021 has seen a cooler start lead into a warm summer interspersed with very wet periods. This offers favourable environmental conditions for snail populations and therefore the subsequent risk of liver fluke this autumn and winter is expected to be high risk for significant parts of the UK, though it may fall slightly later than expected. More specific

information is available from Nadis. Grazing sheep and bought in animals also pose a risk. Liver fluke will readily infect both cattle and sheep, so grazing sheep can contaminate pastures with metacercariae, which are also infectious to cattle. Co-grazing or alternate grazing between sheep and cattle cannot be used to control fluke populations in the way it can help worm burdens. Should your farm be free of liver fluke, clean pastures supporting the mud snail can be instantly contaminated with liver fluke from purchased cattle or sheep. Purchased animals are also a serious risk for the introduction of triclabendazole-resistant fluke onto a farm, so effective quarantine procedures need to be in place. Even modest liver fluke burdens can result in significant economic impacts and reductions in expected cattle performance. From a recent Scottish study, abattoir data showed that ‘when compared with animals with no liver fluke burden, animals with 1–10 parasites take on average 31 days longer to reach slaughter weight, while animals with more than 10 F. hepatica flukes in their liver at slaughter take 77 days longer to finish.’1

Now is the time to consider fluke control With the effects of infection on growth rate and milk yield estimated to cost the UK cattle industry up to £40.4 million annually2, effective and sustainable parasite control within herds is essential. A multidisciplined approach involving strategic flukicide product choice to reduce pasture contamination and drug resistance, alongside pasture management to restrict

cattle access to snail habitats and quarantine of new stock with unknown infection status is recommended3. It is vital to establish whether liver fluke are present on your farm. This can be achieved through regular post mortem examination of fallen stock or checking abattoir feedback. Blood testing of first grazed calves can be considered at or just before housing, whereas faecal samples detecting liver fluke secretions (coproantigen) or eggs can be done later in the housed period. Norbrook Laboratories large animal veterinary advisor, Douglas Palmer (pictured), advises: “It is very important to work with your vet or registered animal medicines advisor (RAMA) to establish a suitable anthelmintic plan that fits the requirements of your farm. This needs to take into account when liver fluke may start to be a problem, keeping in mind this will be different each year. Using the correct product for the most likely stages of liver fluke present is vital to controlling this disease, as well as using lower risk pastures at high-risk times of the year.” Now is the time to consider liver fluke control for animals that will be housed over the winter period. In conjunction with your RAMA or vet, you need to work out the fluke risk on the farm and what stages of fluke are likely to be present. This will determine when you need to treat and which products to use. Triclabendazole resistance is a growing problem in the UK and careful consideration to ensure appropriate flukicide choices are made is crucial in delaying this. If you do not have triclabendazole resistance you do not want to buy it in. The Control of Worms Sustainably (COWS) effective quarantine measures for purchased cattle include keeping cattle inside, yarded or on snail-free pastures until treated with an appropriate flukicide and then ensuring no liver fluke eggs are present in the faeces six weeks after treatment. Further information can be found at www.cattleparasites.org.uk FG

Flukicides should always be administered following the COWS five Rs principles:

Livestock energy in the form of propionate and acetate. Much has been written and said over recent years about the need to manage the dry cow properly, and particularly with regards to mineral intakes during the weeks leading up to calving. Even on farms where the highest standards of dry cow management are practised, cows can still become recumbent and low blood phosphate levels can be a key contributor. Along with calcium infusion, Provita Boviphos, with its easy-to-use bottle makes it effortless to administer to help rectify such situations. It contains phosphate salts that are readily absorbed within one hour and with added controlled release properties for a maximum of six hours. Boviphos also contains slow-release calcium, in correct mineral ratios to phosphorous, to prevent rebound episodes and assist quicker recovery.

Your guide to cattle health around the transition period Metabolic disorders and health issues can erase the profit potential for dairy cow farms for the year. Provita technical sales advisor George Shaw shares his thoughts. Most metabolic and infectious diseases in dairy cattle take place around calving, commonly referred to as the transition period, e.g., ketosis, displaced abomasum, mastitis etc. This is attributed primarily to dysfunctional immune responses in the animal. In addition, recent studies show that adult dairy cows experience oxidative stress (OS) around calving. At transition, cows undergo extensive metabolic adaptation in glucose, fatty acids, and mineral metabolism to support the foetus and lactation, as well as avoiding metabolic dysfunction. Many find that the higher demands during these times, often coupled with trace element deficiencies, not only affects immunity but also the ongoing fertility status of the cow.

Ketosis Provita Animal Health has developed Energy Plus – an oral liquid supplement providing instant energy. Energy Plus has been formulated with propylene glycol, glycerine, and supplies vitamin B12 and cobalt, which is needed to stimulate glucose production to help treat ketosis. Propylene glycol will increase glucose production by entering the propionate production cycle. Glycerine also stimulates glucose production by entering the

glucose production chain. The combination of propylene glycol and glycerine in the Provita preparation provides an additive effect in producing high levels of glucose. Glycerine has several additional advantages: • It enters the glucose chain at a higher level, thus providing a very rapid response • It stimulates appetite so animals feed better • It has a specific effect against fatty liver, which is always a hazard with ketosis.

Milk fever At the onset of lactation, cows have a strong need for calcium and energy. A deficiency in calcium and/ or energy may lead to a number of diseases around calving, including milk fever. Provita has developed Bovical – an oral liquid supplement used just before or after calving when cows become low in calcium from the stress of pregnancy. Bovical is particularly useful for older cows and those with a history of milk fever. It supplies readily available organically bound calcium that reaches the blood in minutes, while also ensuring long-action elevation of calcium levels for up to 12 hours. For the all-important energy that the cow needs, Bovical contains high levels of slow-release glucoplastic

Foot health Lameness is one of the most common debilitating health issues for dairy cattle and at housing, risk is heightened. According to the Cattle Health and Welfare Group Report (2018), approximately 30% of dairy cattle will be affected with lameness during their lifetime. Several factors are associated with lameness in dairy cows including genetics, the environment and management. There are four types or causes that lead to most dairy lameness issues: digital dermatitis, sole bruising, sole ulcers, and white line disease. Classical signs of digital dermatitis include raw, red, oval shaped lesions typically found on the back of the cow’s heel, but they can appear as a range of warty or scabby lesions on the skin of the foot. Outbreaks happen mostly when animals are in consistently wet and dirty conditions. Provita has developed Hoofsure Endurance footbath solution, a blend of organic acids and essential oils and Provita has conducted over 40 trials across three continents to prove its efficacy. Veterinary lameness specialist Dr Nick Bell states that Hoofsure Endurance is “the only product I’ve ever trialled that has performed as well as formalin at preventing new lesions, and I’ve trialled a lot of products”. Hoofsure Endurance is well placed to help dairy farms get on top of and control lameness. Notable research shows it is up to 44% more effective than formalin with proven antibacterial activity. Also, with Hoofsure Endurance allowing up to 500 cow passes through a 200-litre footbath, this makes it a very cost-effective solution. The Hoofsure range also includes Konquest hoof gel and Combat hoof spray for individual hoof application. FG

SPOTLIGHT ON: CALF PNEUMONIA

With winter fast approaching, farmers are investing in ventilation systems early to protect calves from pneumonia. We take a look at how Cumbrian farmer Jonathan Philipson managed to overcome alarming pneumonia losses – as well as some other prevention strategies to try. February 2020 was one of the wettest on record, thanks to a deluge of named storms. It wasn’t an isolated occurrence – extreme weather is on the rise according to the latest data from the UN. With winter just around the corner, and the onset of cold weather causing viral infections to go up – farmers across the UK are looking for ways to protect their livestock early. Pneumonia is particularly difficult to treat, so many are investing in ventilation systems to prevent their animals falling ill in the first place.

The costly impact of poor ventilation Pneumonia is an infectious disease which can be caused by several types of viruses and bacteria. The disease results in 14.5% of dairy heifers failing to make it to first lactation1, while in beef calves the lung damage caused by pneumonia infection can reduce weight gain by up to 6kg per month2. As a disease of the lungs, infection commonly spreads between calves which are sharing the same airspace, rather than relying on physical contact between animals. In an inadequately ventilated calf shed, the air will typically recirculate around the shed so calves continuously inhale the same air, increasing the risk of bacteria or viruses entering calves’ lungs. An over-ventilated shed can also cause problems, especially in winter, as the chilled environment will lead to calves using more energy to maintain body temperature, leading to reduced growth rates and weaker immune systems. The secret to promoting calf health through ventilation is to create a continuous flow of fresh air without draughts.

How to improve ventilation in your calf sheds Mechanical ventilation systems can improve air flow and quality, something Cumbria-based dairy farmer Jonathan Philipson knows only too well. Mr Philipson rears all calves from his 200-cow milking herd on-farm, but was losing them to pneumonia at an alarming rate after weaning. “The shed which I wean calves into was designed for older stock and wasn’t fit for purpose for calves,” he said. “Every winter I was seeing roughly two new cases of pneumonia each week, which was expensive to treat and was having an ongoing impact on growth rates.” After a particularly severe winter in 2019–2020, Mr Philipson installed a VentTube Fresh system. It was designed to bring fresh air in from outside and deliver it at calf height. Air is also able to pass back out of the building, and a smoke bomb test carried out by Mr Philipson’s vet after the addition of the new ventilation system showed that the air cleared quickly as it was not static or recirculating within the shed. The system was custom-built to fit the length, height and number of calves typically within the airspace. “I’d say it’s one of the best investments I’ve ever made,” he said. “It has transformed the feel of the shed as there’s no longer any stale air or the smell of ammonia lingering. The calves are eating more and achieving good growth rates without getting the setback which comes with pneumonia.” Mr Philipson has had over 180 calves go through the shed since installing the VentTube

Fresh system in October 2020. Only five have had pneumonia since.

Additional strategies to help prevent pneumonia Optimising ventilation is an effective way of preventing pneumonia in calves and, unlike vaccination, can be put in place and is effective straight away. Other strategies to help farmers go a step further in preventing disease, and give calves the best start possible, include: • Colostrum management: To promote effective immunity • Separate calves into age groups: To reduce disease spread from older to younger calves • Introduce isolation pens: Isolate calves with pneumonia into a different airspace to prevent spread to healthy calves • Minimise stress at weaning: Combining other procedures like dehorning with weaning can cause stress, which makes calves vulnerable to infections • Vaccination: To protect against specific bacteria or viruses causing disease that can suppress the immune system. There are a number of sources of information and advice available to help prevent pneumonia in calves by optimising ventilation. Your vet will be able to support you with assessing air flow and quality, or you can contact Galebreaker to find out about tailored solutions for your calf shed. FG References: 1.

Q&A: Poultry housing This issue, livestock editor Sarah Kidby speaks to Vencomatic’s senior poultry consultant Andy Pond for his top tips on key points to consider in a poultry housing system.

What are some key considerations? A: Systems need to be hygienic, high

welfare nest systems with an ease of access throughout the whole system – that’s really essential because of flock hierarchy. The nests always need to be dry and warm and correctly lit, otherwise birds won’t frequent them, with good quality air and sufficient ventilation. The lighting is really important; it’s got to be poultry-specific, high frequency adjustable lighting throughout the whole of the shed, to encourage birds to lay in the nest boxes. The whole system needs to be easily cleaned and maintained during turnaround time. Fortunately, with the Vencomatic design, frequent manure removal is easy.

How do Vencomatic systems improve health and welfare? A: Firstly, we use a soft rubber matting

design for the point of contact for the bird where it lays its egg in the nest box. This stays cleaner and is gentler on the bird. With the opening and closing of the nest boxes, there is also a gentle and progressive movement of the bird off the nest box floor, so birds are not stressed. We have more than ample perching, encouraging easy movement across the system which is always really important due to the hierarchy and hen pecking scenario. Obviously one of the most important things for poultry is food and water, so we always incorporate easy-flush nipple drinkers, which gives them 24/7 access to clean water. We have a design on our feeding troughs called anti-selective feeding, that ensures the bird gets a rounded and complete diet as opposed to picking out the bits they want. We have a rounded mushroom design perch that’s proven to ensure comfortable and stable perching in the system, which is really important for protecting the keel bone – a big welfare issue. We also

provide step-up tubes and welfare ramps to encourage ranging around the system and, again, to reduce keel bone damage.

What are the wider impacts for productivity and profitability? A: There is gentle and complete

transport of the freshly laid egg to the tray, minimising contact and contamination and increasing output. Really importantly, a massive design feature on all our systems is inwardly sloping floors which greatly reduces the number of system eggs. Otherwise, these need to be hand collected, meaning you have to employ more people, which is a really big issue. The Vencobelt gentle egg handling design greatly reduces labour and increases profit by minimising cracks; it’s a very gentle system so there is no stressful movement causing cracks. FG

Promoting Natural Behaviour At Vencomatic, we recognise the importance of encouraging natural behaviour within our nest systems. Designed to mimic a tree, our systems provide more than ample perching using our unique mushroom shaped design. Our systems are easy to inspect, have smart feeder placement, and provide comfy nests for laying. We provide these features as we understand that happy birds lay more eggs.

Prepare now for the avian influenza risk period After the UK poultry sector was rocked by 26 avian influenza outbreaks between November 2020 and March 2021 – the highest number seen in several years – Farmers Guide looks ahead to the coming risk season and what farmers should do now to prepare. Seasonal birds were hit particularly hard in 2020, with turkey rearing premises in Norfolk and North Yorkshire suffering outbreaks, resulting in tens of thousands of birds being culled. Cases of the H5N8 strain were

confirmed in poultry premises across England – in Cheshire, Herefordshire, Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Dorset, West Devon and Staffordshire. A case of highly pathogenic H5N1 was also seen in backyard chickens in North

www.bigdutchman.com

Yorkshire. The low pathogenic H5N3 strain was also confirmed in Cheshire West and Chester, and H5N2 was detected near Deal, Kent. Some industry experts have raised concerns that this scenario could be seen every year. Although the UK was recently declared free from avian influenza, highly pathogenic avian influenza continues to circulate in wild and captive birds in Europe and as winter approaches, the risk to domestic poultry is likely to rise as migratory birds fly to the UK. Defra has urged poultry farmers to uphold strict biosecurity measures as we head into the colder months. It may also be worth considering the potential need for insurance cover, and sufficient housing and enrichment should another compulsory housing order be imposed this year. Insurance for avian influenza comes with a high premium, but should you suffer an outbreak, it could be a drop in the ocean compared to the cost of cleaning sheds and meeting APHA standards to restock. For those farms who would be unable to take the financial hit of an outbreak, insurance may be worth considering. Defra has shared the following

advice to reduce the risk of disease ahead of wild bird migration this winter: • Keep the area where birds live clean and tidy, control rats and mice and regularly, disinfect any hard surfaces. Clean footwear before and after visits • Keep chickens and turkeys completely separate from ducks and geese • Place birds’ food and water in fully enclosed areas that are protected from wild birds and remove any spilled feed regularly • Put fencing around outdoor areas where birds are allowed and limit their access to ponds or areas visited by wild waterfowl • In Great Britain, stay alert by signing up online to a free service to receive text or email alerts on any outbreaks of bird flu in the UK. It is also worth noting the emotional toll that an outbreak can have, so seeking help from consultancies where necessary and knowing where to go for free support, for example charities including RABI or the Farming Community Network, is important.

Livestock Popular mobile handling systems for cattle and sheep

A versatile two-in-one machine French-based manufacturer of feeding and bedding machinery, Lucas G, recently expanded and updated its diet feeder range to include single, twin, and triple vertical auger mixers ranging from 8–46m3 capacity. The ‘Spirmix Jet’ range is highly successful on the UK market and features a front-mounted fan. Due to the unique design, with a horizontal feed rotor between the mixing tub and fan housing, it can feed out a TMR mix through the fan in addition to being used as a straw blower – a truly versatile two-in-one machine. This means farms can use the diet feeder in otherwise difficultto-access areas and over high barriers, or into troughs in narrow passageways, where traditional machines would struggle due to width or feed out height limitations.

The Spirmix Jet features a two-speed gearbox of the fan and mixing augers, along with bottom tank reinforcement as standard. Other features include 85cm counter knives and heavyduty augers with six, eight or 10 blades for reducing the chopping and mixing time of long strand materials and fibrous rations. The standard weighing system can be upgraded to a programmable recipe management, helping the operator maximise feeding accuracy and efficiency by reducing mixing times. In addition, Lucas G offers the ‘Spirmix’ and ‘Spirmix S’ range which can be equipped with various distribution options, including front and rear trap doors and front or rear cross conveyors. FG

Maternal performance ‘key to profitability in suckler herds’

South Devon show and sale to take place in October cattle finishers; and an attraction for consumers who seek assurance of environmental sustainability and carbon reduction from grass-fed suckler herds. With a high return from the South Devon carcase in both weight and grade, the breed is well placed to maximise these opportunities. South Devons are well suited, not just to beef farms who want to benefit from the breed’s characteristics, but also to arable businesses who wish to diversify and make use of the best fertiliser for carbon capture – manure! South Devon breeders can be found throughout the Midlands and the East of England, and welcome visitors by appointment. For further information contact the breed secretary: caroline@sdhbs.org.uk FG

The South Devon Society’s Autumn Show and Sale will be held at Worcester by McCartneys on Tuesday, 5th October, with pedigree bulls and heifers from a wide selection of top breeding herds. Catalogues are available from McCartneys and SDHBS. There is strong demand across the country for the South Devon breed due to its excellent maternal qualities, which enhance the performance and efficiency of beef producing herds. Known for their very quiet temperament, they are easy to handle and both bulls and females are widely used in cross-breeding commercial herds. The welcome increase in the number of native beef schemes being set up by processors and retailers offers choice and competition for

SUCKLER COWS with plenty of milk

When it comes to raising profit margins, AHDB’s new campaign ‘Maternal Matters’ brings the focus away from carcase traits and back to the maternal performance of the suckler cow. In the English suckler herd, only 82% of suckler cows produce a calf each year – quite a different story from the norm in countries such as the USA, Canada and Australia. Whilst undertaking a 2019 Nuffield Farming Scholarship, AHDB’s Beef & Lamb knowledge exchange manager, Sarah Pick, said she was surprised to find each suckler farmer she visited outside the UK had a clear breeding policy, focusing heavily on maternal attributes. An economic study suggests fertility is five times more important than growth rate, and 10 times more important than carcase quality to the suckler producer. Another significant finding

related to age at first calving: “Calving heifers at two-years of age reduces costs whilst increasing the number of calves the cow produces over her lifetime. In the UK only 35% of suckler producers implement this practice, however, in other countries it has been commonplace since the 1970s.” With changes in agricultural payments around the corner, there has never been a more poignant time for suckler herd producers to home in on how they can make their herd more efficient and profitable.

Grain Handling, Drying & Storage

BDC Systems installed this 60t/ hour Svegma continuous flow drier with a 160t capacity wet grain holding hopper.

Power on the land The topic for this month’s Power on the Land is grain equipment, brought to you as always by Mike Williams. A choice of drying systems is featured in the comprehensive range of grain handling and storage equipment available from Essex-based Tey Farm Services. They include floor drying installations, a range of trailer driers, plus continuous flow grain driers with capacities ranging from 5–80t/hour. Continuous flow drying can operate with oil or gas burners and using highefficiency axial flow fans, Turboclean dust extraction can be added and Sinar Drypro moisture monitoring and control is also available. The Tey Farm Services equipment list also includes auger type stirrers for use in stored grain. They are designed to improve airflow efficiency in the stored grain to offer a number of benefits including a reduction in drying times, storage capacity can be boosted by allowing an increase in grain depth, and the stirring action also reduces the risk of damage due to hotspots in the stored grain. Stirrers are available with up to 4m auger length, can be fixed installations or portable, and are suitable for retro-fitting in most existing grain stores. Flach & LeRoy products are mainly for grain, but it also supplies and installs special equipment for woodchip and vegetable crops. A special feature of its grain equipment is the range of drive-on drying floors with fully automatic control using

humidity data from sensors located in the air ducts and the fan housing. Drying rates for cereal crops depend on factors such as grain depth, but are typically up to 0.5% moisture loss in 24 hours using 20–24ft per minute air flows. The drying floors are designed for frequent use by heavy tractors and equipment, and Flach & LeRoy can also supply air ducts and partition wall units for use with drive-on drying and storage installations, with the wall sections based on a self-shedding design. Gas burners used for crop drying have automatic control and most of the fans used for crop drying and ventilation are multi-stage axial flow, although centrifugal fans can be suitable for small capacity drying and for situations where noise nuisance may be an issue. The first Allmet grain driers were installed almost 70 years ago, and the number supplied since then totals more than 5,000. As well as growth in numbers, there is also a big increase in drying capacity required by customers, with 2.5t/hour a popular size when the Allmet business started in the 1950s, while their current range is from 10– 300t/hour to meet farm and industrial requirements. Drier choices include continuous flow, batch and heat recovery systems, and the continuous flow driers can be equipped with the Intelligent Drier Control system

providing additional automation to optimise moisture loss with reduced fuel costs and increased capacity. Buying a new Allmet drier starts with a site visit, and all new driers are designed to meet individual customer requirements, with installation followed by after-sales service including maintenance by Allmet specialists. As well as supplying grain driers, Allmet also has a comprehensive range of handling and storage equipment for grain including weighing, cleaning and dust extraction. McArthur Agriculture is the UK distributor for the Mecmar range of compact and portable grain driers from Italy. The driers are available in tractor-powered versions or with an electric motor, and they are said to be the leading range of batch grain driers

available in the UK. They are grouped in three categories, starting with capacities in the 7–15t range, the midrange portable driers are designed for batches from 14–28t, while the 32–55t group includes the S43T model with 43t batch capacity, considered to be the largest fully portable drier available in the UK. Continuous flow and floor driers are also available from McArthur, and its grain equipment range includes supplying and erecting storage, grain coolers and also de-humidifiers that can be equipped with remote monitoring. The JK Machinery range of modular grain and seed cleaning equipment is also offered by McArthur, with categories including the Air Sieve Classifiers typically achieving 99.5% purity. continued over…

This recent Allmet installation includes a 46t/hour continuous flow drier with a complete set of grain handling equipment.

Grain Handling, Drying & Storage

The D24T drier with 24t batch capacity is the most popular model in the Mecmar portable range distributed by McArthur Agriculture. …from previous page

When the first grain silo was installed on the Sukup family farm in America for the 1962 harvest, an unexpected problem was overheating, caused by uneven moisture levels in some of the patches of stored grain. To solve the problem the family designed an auger based stirring unit to provide a mixing action to disperse and aerate the problem areas. That was in 1963, and the idea was so successful that it attracted the interest of other farmers who had experienced similar problems. An improved version of the homemade grain stirrer was produced and the Sukup Manufacturing Co was formed to develop the idea commercially. The success story continues, with marketing on a worldwide basis including the UK, and the company now has more than 600 employees and is said to be the largest family-owned and managed manufacturer of grain handling, drying and storage equipment. The long list of grain equipment available from BDC Systems covers handling, storage and cleaning requirements, and drying systems are a speciality. The grain drying options include continuous flow systems from the Svegma range covering flow capacities from 5 to more than 100t/ hour and with oil, gas and biomass heating options. Features include fully galvanised construction, control panels can be fully automated with

monitoring and fail-safe shut-down, and the driers are designed to allow future extension if a capacity increase is needed. Low noise and dust levels are a design feature, with Turboclean dust extraction on the options list. Manitou is among the foremost names in materials handling equipment with a range that includes the MLT series agricultural telehandlers available in a choice of 18 models. Power for the MLT series is provided by Deutz, Kubota and Yamaha engines, and the transmission choices include hydrostatic, a CVT plus a torque converter and powershift combination. Maximum lift capacities start at 2,000kg with 6,000kg available from the top model, and the maximum lift height in the MLT range is 9.65m. Manitou also offers a selection of lifting attachments for use with their materials handlers, and these include a range of buckets for handling grain and other loose materials. Their CBA series buckets are available in two sizes with up to 4,550 litres heaped capacity, and the design includes a replaceable bolt-on wear blade to extend the working life. A recent arrival in the agricultural telehandler series from Merlo is the TF65.9 model in the highcapacity sector. Introduced last year, it is powered by an FPT engine developing 170hp, with the power delivered through a hydrostatic transmission with 40kph maximum speed. The lift capacity is 6.5t with 8.8m maximum lift height, and the specification includes both cab and boom suspension, the frame has a self-levelling control and the hydraulics are load sensing. Grain handling with a telehandler often involves working where space is restricted in and around farm buildings, and a loader with compact dimensions can be an advantage. The entry level model in the range is the P27.6 which has 2m overall width, the power unit is a 75hp Kohler engine, the lift height is 5.9m and the load capacity is 2.7t. FG

Grain Handling, Drying & Storage Grain drying tech is saving businesses time and money

Drawing on over six decades of experience within the industry, Allmet, a division of JWI, is the exclusive distributor for the Tornum IDC (Intelligent Dryer Control) System – one of the latest grain drying technologies available in the UK. Drying grain precisely is a complex process, but doing it correctly achieves the best possible grain quality for the best price. Relying on manual drying can risk either not attaining the desired moisture content, or over-drying the grain which is a costly exercise – by over-drying to 13% instead of 14% can typically add up to 20% to your energy bill. The Tornum IDC does all of the

hard work for you, Allmet reckons. The software-based control system continuously monitors incoming moisture content and physically controls the speed of the drier to ensure the precise average moisture content of the grain is achieved, irrespective of outside weather conditions. Labour hours are greatly reduced by not having to rely on basic monitoring systems and, crucially, over-drying is always kept to an absolute minimum – thus having a huge impact on costs. JWI director Charles White commented: “The IDC takes the guesswork out of the process – ultimately maximising obtainable product quality, weight and price. All of our current and upcoming projects are incorporating the IDC system, so it won’t be long before our customers are reaping the benefits.” FG

Join the wireless revolution Crop temperature information is sent to the Barn Owl Wireless web portal through a network of wireless sensors.

Barn Owl Wireless significantly reduces the time taken to cool grain and uses less energy to do so, says Martin Lishman Ltd. The system enables store managers to monitor and control crop stores remotely via an online portal, removing the need to travel to the store to manually check temperatures and turn cooling fans on and off. “We have had a surge in farmers approaching us for Barn Owl Wireless systems,” commented Joel Capper, Martin Lishman’s national sales manager. “From upgrading monitoring-only systems to

outfitting brand new stores with control, it’s clear that farmers want a slice of the system’s benefits. Each system is bespoke and is commonly used with our popular FloorVent underfloor ventilation system and Pile-Dry pedestals and fans to create a complete versatile cooling system.” Robert Boyd-Howell, of Maitlands Farm, Maidstone, upgraded his monitoring-only system to include ventilation control this year. “The Barn Owl Wireless system has eased my grain store management considerably. You only need to avoid a few rejections a year to help pay for it,” he commented. Savings on energy costs and labour hours and gaining quality data in return are just some of the benefits of Barn Owl Wireless for any crop storage situation. With hundreds of satisfied customers now on the network, the company asks – will you join them? For more information on Martin Lishman’s Barn Owl Wireless system, visit the company’s website. FG

Grain Handling, Drying & Storage

New grain drying and storage plant proves wise investment Knowing that its existing grain drying and storage plant was outdated and would halt plans for future expansion, J A & D Cottrell worked closely with Nash Grain Services and BDC Systems Ltd to design a state-of-the-art plant. The new plant, with an increased capacity of nearly 16,000t, enables the Cottrells to store their own grain and contract store for Frontier Agriculture. “Trevor Nash suggested that we talk to BDC as he knew it had a proven track record of successfully designing new plants and delivering high-quality and reliable grain handling equipment,” explained Alan Cottrell of J A & D Cottrell, which farms 866ha at Priors Court Farm, near Wantage in Oxfordshire. “With an eye on continued expansion, it was important that the first phase of development enabled us to increase our drying capacity to 60tph. We needed to store our own grain plus have the capacity to dry and store grain for large grain merchants, such as Frontier, to provide us with an additional revenue stream.” The first phase consisted of the machinery building, which holds a large volume intake pit, a Skandia Elevator 120tph intake conveyor with self-regulating inlets, additional Skandia conveyors and elevators, and an Aagaard 120t/hour heavy duty aspiration pre-cleaner, linked to an outside located Svegma SVC9/6 60t/ hour continuous flow grain dryer. “Skandia conveyors are the only conveyors with self-regulating inlets. With other conveyors, you have to regulate the amount of grain entering the conveyor; Skandia’s conveyors have been designed so that whatever amount of grain comes through, they can handle it,” said Andrew Head, BDC’s MD.

Well-stocked warehouse A 120t/hour Skandia belt and bucket elevator and 120t/hour chain and flight top conveyor transport the incoming grain into a 160t capacity hopper bottom wet holding silo. From the silo, the grain is transported on demand through the Aagaard aspiration pre-cleaner, to remove any light impurities, into the Svegma continuous flow grain dryer. If the grain comes in dry there is an option to bypass the dryer. From the drier outlet the grain can then be transported to various storage areas or bunkers. “All of the machinery is easily accessible and blockage sensors have been fitted so if there is a problem, everything shuts down until it’s fixed,” said Mr Cottrell. Mr Nash added: “An important reason for suggesting that the Cottrells talked to BDC was that it has an extremely well-stocked warehouse so, if necessary, we can quickly and easily obtain spares to keep all of our customers up and running during harvest. The first phase also included a floor store which is linked via Skandia conveyors to the machinery building. “To reduce the initial build cost, we chose to install above floor BDC corraduct laterals with mobile ventilation fans,” explained Mr Cottrell. The second phase of development allowed additional grain storage and was designed with bunkers to enable the storage of different varieties of crops. This grain store houses Skandia 120t/hour

belt conveyors and Skandia 120t/ hour chain and flight store levelling conveyors to ensure maximum fill of the building. “We listened to advice from BDC and, after weighing up the advantages of significantly improving the ventilation of the stored crop against the increased cost, we took the decision to install below floor aeration laterals,” explained Mr Cottrell. “There is no question that below floor aeration laterals provide a much more even ventilation across each bunker, helping to ensure that grain remains in the best possible condition. “Plus, there is the added advantage that a below floor solution makes it much easier to transfer the crop from the bunkers using a telescopic fork lift fitted with a bucket onto the lorry when it leaves the plant – there are no above floor obstructions which the vehicle can damage!” he added. The levelling conveyors are suspended on steel rails in the roof of the building and automatically move along the building as it’s being loaded with grain from the belt conveyor to fill the storage bunkers.

Phase three The third phase of development provided additional large floor storage with two equal-sized bunkers, fitted with below floor aeration laterals. Currently, the stored grain’s moisture content and temperature are monitored manually, with the fans being turned off and on as and when necessary. “We are now taking a close look at BDC’s Moisture Monitoring Systems (MMS) which takes grain samples from both the incoming and outcoming elevators. If the pre-

defined temperature falls or rises a text message alert is sent, allowing us to remotely change the control on the dryer,” said Mr Cottrell. “There would be no need for anyone to be on hand at the plant to manually check levels and make any necessary adjustments.” The Cottrells have future-proofed the new plant, in the event that the Environmental Land Management Scheme (ELMS) reduces the amount of grain being grown by ensuring that the plant’s buildings, subject to the necessary planning consent, could be converted into industrial units. Mr Cottrell concluded: “The new plant does exactly what we want. We can tip at 100tph, the turn-around is very quick and efficient and importantly, the plant is TASCC and Red Tractor compliant so meets our drying and storage requirements, and those of Frontier.” FG

Grain Handling, Drying & Storage

New moisture management systems offer real-time control Yorkshire-based manufacturer of mixed flow crop dryers, Kentra, has introduced two new moisture measurement and recording systems for growers, and an automated moisture monitoring system ideal for use at the grain intake. Kentra says the new grain moisture management systems will help growers manage crop drying operations. The high-accuracy products come from Canadian manufacturer Dryer Master, whose

long-established DM510 control system fully automates the grain drying process with minimal manual intervention. The new DM100 is a lower cost, less sophisticated version that still provides an element of control to relieve the workload of whoever is managing the dryer. Grain moisture is measured at the discharge point and adjustments to the discharge rate are made automatically when operator-set high, low and target

moisture levels for each of three discharge speeds are hit. Unlike the fully automatic DM510, the DM100 requires the speed set points and moisture targets to be adjusted periodically to maintain optimum performance. The new Moisture Monitor Pro records grain moisture and temperature at the discharge – with the option to add an intake sensor as well – to help operators achieve consistent results from fully manual control. As with the DM510 fully-automatic and DM100 semiautomatic systems, values are shown on a colour display, are accessible remotely using a mobile phone and can be downloaded to farm computer records. These features are also common to Load Monitor, a system that records the average moisture of entire lorry or trailer loads of grain at the intake. The sensor is fitted in the grain flow line – for example in a duct where grain passes from the intake pit to an elevator – and Load Monitor automatically starts

logging as soon as the sensor detects grain flowing across it. The finished record includes a consignment identifier and time stamp, and compared with sampling, using Load Monitor means there is no delay to tipping incoming consignments and the moisture reading will be fully representative of the bulk. Kentra Grain Systems was formed in 1989 to design and manufacture grain dryers that meet the challenging requirements of British farmers. Today, the range of mixed flow dryers produced from heavy-duty galvanised steel features a unique column design for effective drying of all free-flowing combinable crops and control systems, axial flow fans are designed, developed and manufactured in-house. The modular construction of the dryer allows for maximum flexibility in model selection. So, if you need a throughput of 10t, or in excess of 100t/hour, Kentra says its range of dryers and userfriendly management software gives you complete, real time control over your harvest. FG

Pest control solutions: New vs old techniques

Martin Cobbald, director of Dealey Environmental, outlines traditional and modern forms of rodent control, as well as the importance of proofing your buildings. Rats can be inconveniently persistent. You can do a ‘Safe use of rodenticides’ course and put poison down, but unfortunately that won’t solve the problem entirely. Rats being neophobic (not liking new things), if you offer them new food when they are already eating your grain, they will likely be completely uninterested. Juveniles and weaker male rats that are sent to the edge of the colony (I like to call them

skulkers) will take the bait, but the core problem remains. So what does Dealey do on the farm sites it looks after? Keeps the rodents outside! The availability of proofing equipment for buildings has improved massively (see Table). The old method of just putting poison down and hoping for the best doesn’t really cut it anymore. You have to be a bit craftier and “think like a rat” as the old saying goes.

Whilst a rat with a good source of food may not be interested in the rodenticide you put down, if rodent proofing is involved it’s a different story. Picture this: You’re a hungry rat looking for warmth and food. You try to squeeze under the door of the building but find your way blocked by a hard black strip that you can’t gnaw through. You decide to try an alternative. A rat-sized black box with a rat-sized hole in the side, and food inside. Proofed farm buildings will only use bait when needed, prevent rodents’ access to grain, keep machinery safe, and, it’s effective on all rats. Un-proofed buildings, however, use an unlimited amount of bait, may suffer expensive repair bills, rats have access to your grain, and it’s only partially effective (you only get

the skulkers). The argument for rodent proofing couldn’t be clearer. With enough persistence, you can keep rats out of any building. In doing so, you are managing the pests away from your profits and improving your assets at the same time. A lot of agricultural suppliers don’t have access to a wide array of rodent proofing materials. If you need any help getting hold of one of the above, contact Dealey Environmental; the team will be happy to point you in the right direction. Dealey Environmental is a Suffolk-based pest control company, providing a range of services to the agricultural market including grain fumigation, pest control, grain store cleaning and store monitoring.

Grain Handling, Drying & Storage

Protect every grain to preserve its value

Airspear.

The grain market over the past year has been unpredictable. Selling your grain at any time can be a gamble, but it is often worth waiting until after harvest to sell. But, if you are playing the long game, how do you make sure your grain is worth more coming out than it is going in? “It’s not just a matter of loading your grain into your store and keeping your fingers crossed. You need to condition your grain to preserve its value,” says Matthew Gibbons, director of Plug&Cool. A popular way to cool grain is to use pedestals and fans. This method has been used for over 50

years, because it is efficient, effective and cheap to run. By now grain will be either sold or in store. However, it is about this time of year that hotspots will appear. These are little pockets of warm air that develop in the areas that the fans can’t reach.

Mites and other nasties can build up in these hotspots, so it is important to cool them quickly – but it’s too late to move your pedestals this late into storage. This is where the Airspear comes in handy. “An Airspear is the perfect tool to keep your grain in top condition and avoid hotspots. The extra-long handles mean they screw in easily, and the small but mighty fan that sits on top does all the hard work for you,” explains Matthew. Plug&Cool offers two types of Airspear – the traditional Airspear, and the Airspear Max. The Airspear uses a 130W fan, is lightweight, easy to use and gets to work quickly, the company says, further stating that it’s the most popular Airspear as it gets hotspots cooled fast. The tapered spigot means no loss of suction, so the fan can work effectively. The Airspear Max uses a 1.1kW fan – so it has the power of a pedestal fan but the portability of a grain spear. The Airspear Max has been specifically designed for grain piles that need that extra cooling boost. Whether you need to get a large hotspot cooled fast, or you have undercounted how many

Airspear Max.

pedestals you need – the Airspear Max will suit you, Plug&Cool reckons. The company’s fans are made with high quality aluminium casings, to last year after year. Plug&Cool has been making agricultural fans for nearly 30 years, so it knows the importance of that durability and quality. Grain cooling equipment needs to be able to withstand the bumps of loading and unloading. Both fans come with a five-year manufacturer’s warranty, giving you peace of mind. Understanding that hotspots need to be cooled urgently, the company offers next-day delivery on all Airspear or Airspear Max orders. So, you can get your grain to the perfect temperature as quickly as possible. FG

Grain Handling, Drying & Storage

Maintaining crop quality in store With a large percentage of the cereal harvest now in store, the correct operation of crop ventilation systems can maintain the quality, whilst it’s in there. Evans & Pearce managing director Rob White, provides his advice. Fan running times need to be managed to utilise the full potential of autumn cooling conditions and are crucial to achieve cost-effective cooling. Don’t leave fans on continuously all autumn and winter and don’t wait only for the cool dry days. The key is the temperature differential between crop and ambient air; every time ambient air is 4–6ºC cooler than the crop, operate fans to ensure you are always cooling the crop. Humidity is largely irrelevant in a low volume system; by low volume we mean air flows of up to six cubic feet per minute (cfm) per stored tonne. The volume of air is not usually enough to introduce moisture back into the crop. The AHDB endorses this message and recognises the importance of cool air, even if the relative humidity is high. Evans & Pearce customer

feedback suggests sucking heat to the pedestal is the preferred option. A good quality pedestal fan will do either – however, choose a direction and stick to it, don’t alternate. If you do not have a fan for every pedestal, fan rotation every 3–4 days is important to ensure regular ventilation to all parts of the heap. If using top caps on pedestals without a fan, check for condensation on the underside of the cap. If present, a fan is needed on that pedestal to draw out the warm air rising from inside the bulk. Regular checking of your harvest is important; make sure leaking roof sheets are not allowing a back corner to start spoiling. Is your crop cooling evenly? If not, a screw in ‘hot spot spear’ might be needed to sort out a problem area. Even with an automated control system, crops

must be checked – a sometimes tedious but necessary job. Summary: Run fans only when ambient air is 4–6ºC lower than crop temperature • Stick to either blowing air in to the pedestal or sucking it out, do not alternate • Check crops, especially after stormy weather; damaged roof sheets can easily go undetected • Rotate fans around every few days to ensure the bulk gets regular ventilation • Consider extra fans in mild autumn/winter conditions to utilise every cooling opportunity • Differential Control Systems do not have to be complicated or expensive but are very useful • A modest investment in a crop temperature spear will remove guess work and highlight problem areas • Seek advice if you are unsure – crops production costs are too high to let them spoil in the store.

Lincs farm opts for two stirring silos for harvest 2021

The introduction of the ‘Super-deduction’ in the 2021 Budget, which allows qualifying companies to claim 130% capital allowance, applies to drying silos, but not traditional buildings and grain stores. For this reason and many others, R.K. Hobson & Sons Ltd of New Bolingbroke installed two 600t Sukup stirring silos, rather than another shed for harvest 2021. Malcom Hobson explains the

company’s reasoning: “Firstly, they are very efficient with each silo only requiring a single 18.5kW drying fan to dry 600t of grain in combination with the stirring system and the mobile heater.

“Secondly, our grain store buildings are a very dusty environment and using this system the dust problem is eliminated. Thirdly, the high speed of discharge into the silos with the Westfield

auger that will unload a 20t grain trailer in 12 minutes. “Lastly, the silos are vermin proof which is often a problem in conventional grain stores.” Sukup’s UK sales manager John Statt was very helpful with the planning process and groundworks, as well as sorting a couple of teething problems, Mr Hobson added. “He is always at the end of the phone, even on weekends. You would think it was his own business, due to his attention to detail and commitment. “Sukup Europe’s erection team was also extremely efficient and thorough, and worthy of praise.” FG

Grain Handling, Drying & Storage

New weighing software offers customisation and flexibility Suffolk-based weighing equipment manufacturer Griffith Elder has introduced a new software range that allows users to configure operation, data collection and reporting exactly as they require it, among other benefits. Company spokesman Peter King said: “Weighing on the farm replaces guesswork with truth, providing farmers and growers with the necessary tools to truly measure and understand their performance and take control of the resulting profits.” Griffith Elder, which has made weighing on the farm its focus for over 40 years, has launched a new software range, ‘Weighbus’, which is aimed at bringing together first-hand experiences gained from customers. It allows users to configure the operation, data collection and reporting exactly as they require. Weighbridge ticket types can be created to cover different aspects of agricultural or other business operations. Configuration is made to collect only the exact data required for that part of the business; it is even possible for more than one business to operate over the same weighbridge, printing their own ticket(s). Data

requirements can be set to be optional or demanded to ensure the weighing operation cannot be completed without recording the data that is needed by management. The weighing process and data capture can be carried out manually or unmanned using the driver remote FOB button system, which allows the field, crop, store and any other required data to be saved automatically and instantly at the time of weighing, at the press of a button. Advances in technology allow any device on the network – be it mobile phone, tablet or computer – to connect and carry out a weighing or use the Weighbus software as if they were in the weighbridge office. The benefit of this is that it enables a tractor driver to save the weight while positioned on the weighbridge via their phone and, optionally, it is possible for them to select any of the data to be saved with weighing

like field, crop, variety and store. All of this can be captured on camera with an image of the vehicle on the weighbridge saved with every weight recorded. The Weighbus system allows flexibility in connectivity whilst maintaining security. All access and operations are controlled via user logins – users are assigned to user groups which can have all permissions defined by the management. This flexibility of setup carries through to reporting. User configured reports are created with specific filters to create CSV files, including only the

data needed. Reports can be run on a schedule and used to import onto other software. FG

S&G Wooldridge Ltd designs and manufactures an innovative grain floor aeration system which can be easily installed in new floors, or retrofitted to existing floors. Six-inch rigid ribbed plastic drainage pipes are embedded in concrete and connected to removeable grills in embedded frames. Steel molds create the connection between the pipe and grill. Tests over five seasons show cooling of grain to be effective and even across the floor due to careful design of airflow and

pressure drops. For aeration, 3m spacing is typically used but larger pipes and closer spacing offer more air volume. Grills can be transversemounted for new floors or longitudinal for retrofit. The concrete floor cutters and molds can be hired from S&G Wooldridge. Farm labour can be used if available to create a cost-effective underfloor aeration system. Spans up to 12m are used and can be fed from the side by outdoor fans or from a central tunnel, giving up to 24m span. Simple wooden central tunnels are easy to remove in sections to leave a clear floor space. The central tunnel engages through the floor with the laterals via a larger grill and frame assembly. The tunnel system is sectional and easily extended, contracted or removed completely to leave an uncluttered open space barn. The fan in the bottom right engages with the tunnel, and grain covers the tunnel which is just 4ft high. FG

Essex farm looks to rebuild after devastating fire

After a large farmyard fire destroyed three buildings in spring 2021, Jonathan Lukies of Cammas Hall Farm, a predominantly arable and fruit farm in Hatfield Broad Oak, shared his experience of seeking to replace the buildings in challenging times. Mr Lukies is working with steel frame and turnkey building provider, Johnstruct Ltd, which the family farm has been working with since the 1980s. Before the fire struck earlier this year, Johnstruct Ltd had been due to erect two additional buildings at the farm – one is half up and construction is due to begin shortly on the other.

Since the fire, the company has also completed a survey of the damaged buildings, checked the structural soundness and quoted for repair costs as well as like-for-like replacement. With prices rises over recent months, Mr Lukies noted that the fire could not have come at a worse time, meaning prices have had to be revisited.

Steel Framed Buildings Covering East Anglia

Another issue is availability which is causing significant hold-ups with some building projects. Johnstruct Ltd managing director Mark Allen highlighted the potential insurance implications for farmers, with respect to pricing up the insurance value of buildings on a like-for-like replacement basis. “Due to the last year or so, incremental material price increases and the building valuations at the time that insurance was agreed, this seemingly leaves room for possible under insurance implications for farmers,” he explained. “Some policies insure farm buildings at an agreed value or the value at the time of the building being built – this can leave farmers exposed on a rising cost market. “At this time, Johnstruct is predicting material pricing volatility in 2021 and is hoping that the recent relatively stable structural steel prices are an indicator that they have peaked.” Mark added: “Fire damage is extremely difficult to structurally validate –

heat damage can transfer further into structures than people think and especially beyond that of any obvious visual indicators. “Johnstruct has been working with a number of insurance companies and loss adjusters in this respect to support farmers like Jonathan in validating claims and ultimately ensuring that existing buildings are safe/fit for purpose.” The support from Johnstruct Ltd has been key, according to Mr Lukies, who commented: “They are easy to work with, very quick and reliable. They know what we want as they have been working on agricultural buildings for a long time.” Work to replace the damaged buildings at Cammas Hall Farm is due to begin next year. FG

Hertfordshire farm impressed by new grain store Graham Heath Construction recently went to visit one of its valued customers, B J Northern & Sons, to find out more about their farm in Hertfordshire and get some feedback on their new grain store building. Redlands is a 380-acre, familyrun arable farm that has been in operation since 1932. Now in its third generation, it farms over 900 acres in total. Plans for expansion meant the farming business required a new building to store spring barley grain, in addition to the wheat and malted barley, amongst others, that it produces. B J Northern & Sons ordered an 80x40x22ft grain store with green cladding, painted steelwork and a natural grey fibre cement roof with

eight roof lights. The building was also fitted with concrete panels to a height of 3.5m and a roller shutter and personnel doors. Asked why he chose Graham Heath Construction for his building, Jeremy Northern said: “We had a look at other buildings [Graham Heath] had done in the area and spoke with other local customers. We were also impressed with the office staff who were very helpful on the phone, answering any queries that we had and explaining details. We would recommend [them] to others and consider having galvanised steel next time!” Contact Graham Heath Construction directly for a quote on your building. FG

Grain Handling, Drying & Storage Floor stirrers Rekord floor stirrers have assisted on farms for over 30 years, and Danagri3S’s updated models are just as relevant to grain conditioning today, as they were all those years ago, the company reckons. Available as a retro-fit or new build installation, the stirrer beam is mounted on rails either side of the grain store moving up and down the building, allowing the auger carriages to traverse from side to side, whilst the special variable pitch augers draw grain up along the entire length of the auger, ensuring a total mixing of the grain layers to the full depth of the crop. This also reduces the static air pressure and significantly increases airflow, leading to greater efficiency of the floor store. This complements the company’s existing range of driveover aeration and drying laterals, tunnels, fans and heaters. In 2020, Danagri-3S took over the manufacture, sales and marketing of the fully automated Rekord floor store stirrer and the company says it has seen the stirrers being sold to all parts of the UK. The Rekord floor stirrers continue to be built in the UK at Danagri’s Bridgnorth, Shropshire manufacturing facility. Utilising tried and tested UK sourced electric control panels, the floor stirrers can operate in stores up to 15m wide, assisting in drying all types of combinable crops as well as wood chip and pellets.

New drier claimed to be quiet enough that you can hear yourself think Noise is a common occupational hazard around the farm, and the grain system is a high-level source. Along with value-formoney, build quality, ease of use and longevity, this was an important consideration when Mr Morris decided to upgrade his farm’s existing GSI Farm Fan drier. David Morris, who farms in Shropshire, has recently become the first UK owner of the GSI Quiet drier from Danagri-3S. Whilst most readers will be familiar with the popular GSI Farm Fans driers, what may surprise many is that the new Quiet drier is now 50% quieter than normal vane axial portable driers and produces a more comfortable, softer, less harsh tone, the company says. So much so that it’s possible to have a normal conversation even whilst the drier’s in full flow. Using the proven star-fire burner seen on existing Farm Fan driers, the key secret to the noise reduction is down to a new fan design, having fewer blades specially angled to quietly cut through the air coupled to a commercial strength single blower. Two plenums then split the air either in a 60/40 or 50/50 configuration allowing the airflow

to be optimised in both the upper and lower plenums producing the softer more pleasing sound, which will no doubt delight the operators and the surrounding rural neighbours. Compared to an axial fan, it’s more energy-efficient, using approximately half the amount of power to deliver the same amount of air. The Quiet drier has couple of useful options that can be specified. A static moisture sampler, the sampler only takes readings when the grain is static to insure a debris/ chaff-free accurate sample reading. To complement the standard vison control panel with its easy to read, large colour graphical touch display panel, the watchdog monitor allows you to control and adjust your drier’s moisture and temperature setting from anywhere, utilising your phone, tablet or computer with ease.

Silos and in-bin stirrer systems Silo and stirrer systems are still proving popular and Danagri-3S has installed several large projects this

year, offering stirrers in 18m diameter silos to stir-dry up to around 1,600t in one batch. The company says its extensive range of GSI flat bottom silos continue to offer simple and efficient storage of all combinable crops, complemented by an extensive range of accessories and control systems that make modern silo plants into labour and fuel saving investments for the long term. In-bin stirrers can also be retro fitted, turning the silo into a batch drier which can take out up to 2% moisture per day throughout the whole bin – making them one of the most cost-efficient drying methods available today, Danagri-3S reckons.

Intake and handling systems With the ever-increasing high outputs of modern day combine harvesters, it is important to handle and move grain quickly back at the farm. To assist with this need for speed and efficiency Danagri-3s Ltd offers a large range of solutions, covering intake, handling, storage and drying. The company says that its renowned Jema Dry Pit intake system can be built to accept anything from 10–60t loads, and acts as a bunker so that the driver and trailer can get quickly back to the combine. A full range of Jema chain and flight conveyors, belt and bucket elevators, and belt conveyors are available to either complement the intake pits or be retro fitted to grain stores to move the grain more quickly, having capacities ranging from 20–300t/hour. Danagri-3S specialises in grain handling and drying equipment. Free site surveys are available, with advice and consultation to assist you in choosing the right system to suit your present and possible future needs. FG

Direct Drilling

Low-disturbance drill allows reliable establishment An East-Sussex-based contractor who specialises in grass establishment and regeneration says the Moore Uni-drill is the obvious choice for his business. David Williams reports. Trading as Agrifactors (Southern) Ltd and based at Heathfield, Roland Davis started selling grass seed in 1977 when the Davis family gave up its dairy herd. In the late 1980s, a contracting business started, establishing and maintaining grass for agriculture as well as amenity grass for local authorities. Building and maintaining football and rugby pitches remains a key part of the business, and the Agrifactors team currently looks after 90 football and rugby pitches for clubs, schools and local councils, while approximately 160ha of owned and rented grassland around the Heathfield farm base is for grazing a 100-head beef suckler herd and 250 pedigree Pole Dorset ewes.

Seeds a speciality Seed supply is 90 per cent of the business. Amenity grass varieties, vetches, herbs and stubble turnips are stocked, including grass mixes made up on site. Wild flower seeds are also harvested, dried, dressed and supplied for planting, often as part of rewilding projects. Wild flower seeds are packaged and supplied to most major retailers throughout the UK and also sold under the Sow Wild brand name. Rare varieties are harvested under a special licence from SSSIs as part of the Weald Meadows Initiative. This is designed to increase populations of endangered flowers mainly within the local area, and Christopher Davis, who is Roland’s son, harvests the seed using a specialist combine, then cleans and prepares it for planting – much of it within 10 days of being harvested. “We used to cultivate intensively before planting grass, but now the emphasis is on carbon capture and avoiding ploughing,” he explained. “More than 90% of what we establish is by direct-drilling and everything we do is as environmentally friendly as possible.”

Effective grass establishment Most wild flower seeds are spread after harrowing, but grass and stubble turnips are established using a Moore Uni-drill – the sixth

owned and operated by the company. “The Moore drill is exceptionally versatile,” continued Christopher. “We use a 3m version with 32 coulters spaced at 70mm, but RTK guidance allows a second pass with the coulters between the drilled rows, so we end up with seeds every 35mm for a denser sward. This is preferred for lawns and sports grounds. “For agricultural grass establishment we use one-pass seeding, as 70mm row spacing is suitable.”

East Sussex-based Agrifactors relies on a Moore Uni-drill to establish amenity grass including pitches for football and rugby, and for agriculture for grazing and fodder. The drill is also used to plant stubble turnips and grass mixes direct into cereal stubbles, and for overseeding mixes into established grassland (as above). Standard coulter spacing is 70mm, but using RTK guidance a second pass can be made with the coulters operating between the previous seed rows to achieve a dense sward with 35mm seed spacing.

between sites on the road as we use lightweight 4-cyl tractors and the drill is quite heavy, but for manoeuvring on headlands and in field corners it’s so much easier to use.”

Minimum disturbance Two rows of discs run at a shallow angle and at only 10–15mm depth for minimal disturbance, and the coulters are mounted alongside and graze the soil surface while dropping seeds in the slot.

GS4 mix trials This year GS4 grass seed mixes are being created for mid-tier stewardship schemes, and include grass seed, legumes and herbs. “There are restrictions on nitrogen applications, grazing and harvesting, but growers receive area-based payments for growing it,” said Christopher. “We have a trial of 40ha on our own land which was drilled into existing ryegrass using the Moore drill to minimise disturbance, and it has proved very successful.”

Accurate and reliable A very short working season of approximately six weeks per year for grass seeding means the team has to average 12ha in a typical 16-hour working day. “It has to be accurate and reliable,” continued Christopher. “We can’t afford downtime and the Uni-drill requires very little routine maintenance and is quick and easy to set up and use. We tend to replace all of our machinery regularly and before reliability reduces as we don’t like paying for repairs.”

John Deere 6130R tractors supplied by Tuckwells make up Agrifactors’ main fleet. The 4-cyl tractors were chosen for their compact size and light weight, while also having plenty of power. Users Harvey Sheffield and Ian Draper say the tractors cope well with the mounted drill, although care is needed during transport even with a 1,200kg ballast weight on the front linkage.

Linkage-mounted drill Agrifactors’ current Moore drill was purchased in January 2020, and it is the first linkage-mounted model operated, as the previous five were trailed. “When we had trailed versions, we believed they were the better option for our type of use, but limited stock availability last year meant we could only get hold of the mounted machine and now we prefer it,” commented operator Harvey Sheffield. “We have to be careful while moving

Slotted discs operate at a shallow angle and depth, and the coulter alongside each disc drops seed into the slot. A Guttler roller at the rear exerts plenty of pressure to close the slot, ensure seed-to-soil contact and preserve moisture, and it also copes well with undulating ground.

horizontal so the front and rear disc rows and coulters operate at the same depth for even establishment and emergence. A handy indicator at the side of the drill makes it immediately obvious if the drill isn’t set correctly. A Guttler roller packer at the rear has proved suitable for all working environments and maintains its performance on uneven ground. For sports pitches too, it exerts plenty of pressure to close the slot and leave the ground level so that immediately after over-seeding the pitch can be used. The drill has an Accord metering system and its own GPS speed sensor. The tractor’s GPS guidance and autosteer ensure accuracy. An optional 270kg weight kit on each side of the drill

frame ensures effective disc penetration on hard ground and proved essential in the dry conditions last year. Operators Harvey Sheffield and Ian Draper both enjoy using the drill. “Once a week we check and reset all the coulter positions alongside the discs as having them set correctly is essential and we have found that they can move, but that takes only 20 minutes or so, and apart from that there is little that needs doing,” commented Harvey. “The only other issue we have found is that when travelling on wet roads the fan housing collects water splashed up from the wheels, so we have learned to run the fan for a while to dry the system before starting work. It’s a minor problem.”

“Our drill gets a lot of abuse, as almost all its work is on land belonging to others and there are often tree stumps and large stones which we don’t know are there,” continued Christopher. “The back-up was exceptional previously through Sam Moore, but, if anything, it’s even better now that Agri-Linc stocks the whole range of machines and parts. There is a dedicated representative for Moore drills, and we are more than happy with the service. We get through a lot of parts and anything we have needed has always been in stock and dispatched immediately. There is very little downtime which is critical when we have such a short working season. “The Moore Uni-drill achieves reliable establishment with minimal soil disturbance, and its ability to perform so well in both agricultural and amenity sectors makes it the best option for our business,” Christopher concluded.

Strip seeding brings multiple benefits to busy family farm Changing from traditional crop establishment methods to strip seeding has brought major benefits for Hebbelthwaite Farms in Leicestershire. James Hebbelthwaite is a third-generation farmer in Leicestershire. His grandparents took on the tenancy at Bridge Farm, Elmesthorpe in 1945 and James’ parents purchased the farm in 1979. In 2002 James started a bed & breakfast pig rearing operation, rearing 5,000 pigs at a time for Cranswick. After seven years working for a contractor, James returned to the farm full-time in 2007. Currently the Hebbelthwaites grow 100-acres of KWS Barrel winter wheat, 80-acres of Belepi, a winter wheat which can be winter- or springsown, together with 65-acres of spring oats for human consumption – the combination of heavy soil and lots of manure helping to produce high specific weight grains. Pig numbers are being reduced to 3,000 because of time pressures and new rules which limit the amount of manure which can be spread on the land. Working with his father David and one fulltime employee, James ditched the plough and power harrow five years ago in favour of Claydon’s Opti-Till System after visiting the arable farm of its inventor, Jeff Claydon, in West Suffolk. This holistic approach to establishing any type of seed that can be air-sown delivers high-yielding crops at low cost for maximum profitability. Instead of the drawn-out process of establishing crops conventionally, James and David Hebbelthwaite now do so much more quickly and efficiently using three pieces of Claydon equipment; a 7.5m Straw Harrow, 3m Hybrid mounted drill and 3m TerraBlade inter-row hoe. All of them, James emphasises, “do exactly what they say on the tin”. “The advantages of strip seeding become more evident every season,” James enthuses. “We have seen significant reductions in time, cost and labour, continuous improvements in soil structure, a substantial reduction in weeds, and higher, more reliable yields.”

Efficient method of establishment “Our heavy land is very difficult to manage and with only 8in of topsoil before we hit clay,

ploughing could throw up some very ‘livery’ soil which would then be very difficult to break down into a seedbed. The last time we used a plough was in 2015, when the land was still compacted after the very wet 2012 and 2013 seasons. “With just my father and me doing all the work, turning the soil over, then power-harrowing and drilling was very time-consuming and costly. We were also rearing 5,000 pigs from 7–35kg on a bed & breakfast basis, so there were lots of demands on our time and we weren’t exactly looking for things to do. It was apparent that we needed a more efficient way of establishing crops, but clearly a zero-till approach would have been a non-starter on this heavy land. “At one time, farmers were able to spray against almost any weed or pest issue but increasing legislation and a reducing pool of ag-chem products has made the job more difficult, so we also felt that there had to be a better, more sustainable alternative. “After seeing the Opti-Till System advertised, we looked around the Claydon farm and saw the benefits on some of the heaviest, most difficult to manage land in the country. Our independent agronomist was not too keen initially but having seen the advantages and excellent results has changed his mind, so much so that he now has several other clients who use this approach. “We ordered a new 3m Claydon Hybrid mounted drill and began seeing the benefits from using it in the first season, particularly on oilseed rape where yields were much higher than with our previous system. Like so many other farms in the UK we were subsequently affected by cabbage stem flea beetle and the last crop of oilseed rape we harvested was in 2018. We haven’t grown it since, but after a long break we plan to give OSR another go in 2022.”

James Hebbelthwaite says the farm has seen significant reductions in time, cost and labour.

sowing, low-disturbance establishment, and zerotill seeding. This makes it a much more versatile, cost-effective solution than purchasing a strip till drill and a specialist low-disturbance model. In standard form, the drill’s unique leading tine busts out compaction, aerates the soil and creates drainage/tilth in the seeding and rooting zones. The seeding tine which follows then creates more tilth and places the seed under it, at the chosen depth above the drainage channel.

Adding to the benefits “A year after buying the Claydon Hybrid drill we added a 7.5m Claydon Straw Harrow, which has been amazing. Until you experience the benefits it would be very easy to dismiss it as not doing very much, but nothing could be further from the truth. It is a very effective and efficient piece of equipment.” A key part of establishing crops successfully is to achieve an optimum tilth as soon as possible after harvest so volunteers and weeds seeds can germinate. Even if no green shoots are visible on the surface, weeds and volunteers will be growing under the straw. The conventional min-till approach can be problematic because moving 100–125mm of soil will significantly slow germination or bury weed/volunteer seeds so deep that they do not germinate until after the crop emerges, creating major cost and control issues. Deeper cultivations also present a significant weather risk, as heavy rain will reduce the soil to a sticky mess with no structure or ability to support following machinery. The surface can also seal over and become anaerobic, creating issues

Versatile drill The Claydon Hybrid will sow direct into stubbles or cultivated soils, both min-tilled and ploughed, with or without fertiliser placement between or in the seeded rows. With a few simple, quick modifications, it can also be used for conventional

The Claydon Straw Harrow distributes chopped straw evenly and creates a fine, level 2–3cm tilth.

with water ‘ponding’ or run-off. In extreme cases, full cultivations may initially be necessary to put right the impact of min-till, in which case weed/ volunteer seeds will be buried even more deeply, making control impossible and providing ideal conditions for slugs. The Claydon Straw Harrow distributes chopped straw evenly and creates a fine, level 2–3cm tilth, providing the high-humidity conditions necessary for weeds and volunteers to germinate rapidly. Straw harrowing also halts the soil’s natural capillary action, preventing water from being drawn up to the surface and the surface from drying out with the action of wind and sun to form a hard, impermeable layer. Using it when weeds and volunteers are less than 2cm tall will kill 70% of them, so repeating this several times will dramatically reduce their numbers and slug populations, often to the point where we need fewer chemicals and there is no need to apply slug pellets. This fast, low-cost operation is highly effective, James confirms. After crops have been harvested by the farm’s John Deere W540 combine and the contractor’s MF 2170 has packaged all the straw into 500kg bales, every acre is covered with the Straw Harrow, often multiple times to maximise the benefits. It flies over the fields, distributing any loose straw that the baler might have missed, killing slugs and their eggs, at the same time creating a fine 1–2cm tilth which encourages weed seeds and volunteers to germinate rapidly. “For spring crops, we just use the Straw Harrow in the autumn, spray off any residues and either do another pass with the Straw Harrow or shallow disc, no more than 2in deep, before drilling at the end of March or early April. The manure from the pig unit does wonders for the condition of the soils and crops but spreading it does cause compaction, so in those areas we tend to subsoil to 9in. “We run the 3m Claydon Hybrid behind a 235hp John Deere 6195, which provides plenty of power even on our heavy land. The front tines run 15cm deep for establishing OSR and the seed is drilled at 1cm using the standard Claydon A-Share. For cereals the leading tine runs at 10cm and seed goes in at 2–2.5cm. That works well and instead of leaving tramlines we use the John Deere’s GPS guidance when applying pre-emergence products at 24m, so all other operations follow the same wheelings. “After six years of using Claydon Opti-Till the soil structure has improved so much that it is unrecognisable compared with how it was before. Even where we have just used the Straw Harrow

after harvest the soil is alive with worms and their casts are all over the surface, so there must be an unbelievable number in the soil profile. “The other major benefit is that it encourages plants to develop unbelievable rooting structures which we simply never saw with a conventional establishment system, so even very dry conditions are not a problem as roots penetrate deep into the soil. In 2020, we had no rain from April until June, yet the crops looked exceptional throughout. “The improved structure and weather resilience of the soil has made following operations such as spraying and fertiliser application much easier and more predictable, even after heavy rain. During the very wet 2019/2020 season that was a huge positive, as muck was spread early, autumn sown crops were drilled before the really heavy rain fell and subsequently developed their full potential.”

The other major benefit is that it encourages plants to develop unbelievable rooting structures.

"In 2020, we had no rain from April until June, yet the crops looked exceptional throughout."

A novel approach For the last few years, the Hebbelthwaites have drilled cereals at 250kg/ha – double the seed rate used just a few years ago, which has proven very effective in crowding out weeds, both those growing in and between the rows. This has been enhanced by the purchase of a 3m Claydon TerraBlade inter-row hoe, this low-cost, reliable piece of equipment being acquired in 2020 from dealer Sharmans’ Melton Mowbray branch. The TerraBlade is an extremely effective, low-cost, mechanical method of controlling weeds growing between the rows in band-sown crops. By keeping the unseeded rows clear of weeds during the early stages of crop growth, competition for nutrients, light, air, and water is reduced, enabling the young plants to grow strong and healthy, and helping to maximise crop yields. It eliminates weeds reliably, safely without using chemicals and clears up any that were missed by ag-chems, or where such products cannot be used, as in organic systems. This drastically lowers the potential for carry-over of weed seeds and the risk of more resistant types developing. Claydon’s TerraBlade range now includes five models from 3–8m wide, designed for use on a Cat II front linkage – allowing for effective manual steering of the hoe blades between seeded rows. “Although herbicides remain an essential part of modern agriculture, their cost is continually increasing, and they seem to be becoming less effective,” James states. “Our experience is that if we apply a herbicide in the spring it will take out 50–60% of target weeds, but not touch the rest, so that is why the TerraBlade is such an effective tool

to have on the farm. “The only addition that we have made to the standard specification of our Claydon Hybrid has been to add two additional depth wheels, which have made the drill even more stable and further improved consistent seed placement. Our latest purchase is the Claydon Twin-Tine kit, which we will use for drilling spring crops. Overall, we have been delighted with the Claydon Opti-Till System.” FG

Direct Drilling “We’ve gone from 80-litres/hr to just 40-litres/ hr, and almost doubled our output,” he says. “And a level, stale seedbed is then very easy to drill into with the MD disc.” Pete says the farm has tried a variety of scenarios ahead of the drill, including leaving the following harrow off the ground too. And where his old u-drill would burn 32–33-litres/hour working on cultivated land, the MD disc version has seen fuel burn drop to 28 litres. “The MD disc moves trash and lightly cultivates a narrow strip of soil, ahead of the coulters,” he says. “Where we’ve experimented putting cover crops direct into stubbles, fuel consumption has dropped to 19–21 litres, and the drill needs little power to operate.” With a late harvest last year, Pete says they would not have finished autumn drilling were it not for the MD disc. “We’ve been very impressed with everything the drill has done so far.” FG

Update sets a path towards direct drilling After five years of running a 6m Kverneland u-drill, David Atkinson and Sons, of Hawkhouse Green Farm near Doncaster, has switched to the new MD disc version. “There’s no doubt this low disturbance approach has reduced our establishment costs,” says Pete Atkinson, who runs the farm with his father, David, and brother, Ben. The 1,400-acre operation has a mix of soil types from limestone through to heavy clay, and most of it dictates that a move straight into no-till would be foolish.

“As a low disturbance drill, the 6m u-drill with MD disc is the solution we need,” he adds. Where the Atkinsons would have previously moved ground with a 3.6m Quadtill cultivator, a 6m Kverneland Turbo has increased output considerably. Cultivation power comes from a Quadtrac STX435, and there’s been a noticeable drop in fuel consumption.

The Atkinson family say that the low disturbance approach from Kverneland’s MD disc has been instrumental in reducing establishment costs.

right conditions. “It’s a quick, easy operation that also produces a slight tilth to drill into; the packer roll crushes any clods effectively leaving a fine, level surface and we rarely need the levelling boards.” Described as simple to set up and operate, the Carrier is set at its highest working depth and does not dig in. “With the Carrier and CrossCutter, it’s one operation and we can close the gate on it until we are ready to spray off for the drill.” A first Vaderstad machine for Stevens Farm, Mr Budd comments that he has been impressed with the durability and build quality of the Carrier. FG

Crosscutter makes light work of stale seedbeds Preparing the ideal stale seedbed ahead of a direct drill is an exacting task and like many farmers, Richard Budd has tried a number of approaches at Stevens Farm, near Hawkhurst, Kent. With 900ha of combinable crops on land varying from Weald clay to Tunbridge Wells sand, the focus is on winter cereals – but juggling the rotation can mean that volunteers are an issue, as well as black-grass. “We need to create an effective stale seedbed post-harvest so that we can go in and spray off ahead

of a Sumo DTS direct drill,” RIchard explains. “We looked at other disc systems but we don’t need to work at depth and risk pulling up weeds from below the surface, just to move soil evenly across the working width.” The solution came in the form of a 6.5m Vaderstad Carrier fitted with CrossCutter discs, chosen to work in

the farm’s 30m CTF system. “The CrossCutter disturbs the surface and chits weed seeds to encourage a green flush,” he explains. “It works to just 10mm deep but the two gangs of discs ensure that it moves soil and mixes across the whole surface.” Designed as a high-speed operation, Mr Budd reckons to travel at 16–18kph with the Carrier pulled by a Challenger tracklayer, and can cover more than 60ha a day in the

Versatility is key when investing in a direct drill Direct drilling and reduced tillage are currently hot topics. With changes to agricultural subsidies squeezing margins for many arable farmers in the coming years, most are looking at ways to cut costs while maintaining output. Many are investigating more cost-effective methods of crop establishment and regenerative agriculture is seen as an essential part of the solution. However, the unpredictable climate and lack of information and guidance can make it difficult to implement and maintain. One company with a lot of experience in this field is Simtech Aitchison. Its T-Sem drills have been at the forefront of direct drilling for over a decade. With a 12-model

range from 3–8m and fertiliser options for all models, Simtech feels it has a drill for every size of farming enterprise. Simtech’s Simon Clarke summarises: “The T-Sem is the economic and versatile solution for entry into direct drilling. It copes with high levels of surface trash and will penetrate very hard soil, which makes it one of the best drills on the market for establishing cover crops behind the combine. “It will work at the other end of the spectrum when things get a little sticky too, and everything in between. Add to this its low power requirement together with its ability to work in all non-direct drilling situations and you’ve got the whole package.” FG

Continued success for multi-purpose tine drills Many farmers are looking for a versatile drill which will perform well in direct and min-till situations and Keith Rennie Machinery (KRM) claims to offer a range of tine drills which do just that. Having built a reputation with the Ares 2713 and SM 1909 tine drills, the latest Ares-P and SM-P variants from KRM feature a new hopper

and metering unit, improving the operator experience and accuracy. The recently introduced ‘Electra’ metering system allows

the operator to quickly set the desired rate from a single calibration. The system uses the drill’s hydraulic fan to deliver metered seed to a conveniently located container to be weighed. The weight is then entered into the Isobus control system and the rate set. The Isobus system can also

be used for variable rate drilling, auto on/off and sectional control where half width shut off is fitted, as well as managing all the usual drill functions such as tramlining, hopper level and alarms. Another feature of this system is the pressurised hopper which ensures consistent, even seed flow to the metering unit and external distribution heads, which leave the hopper unobstructed for ease of filling and cleaning between different seed types or varieties. The narrow Tungsten carbide tipped tine coulters run at an attacking angle to pull the tip in to work. Each coulter creates a tilth as it pulls through the soil and loosens the soil below the coulter tip, creating ideal conditions for germination and strong root development. Straw and other residues are moved away from the row ensuring seeds are placed in clear moist soil. The undisturbed soil between the rows minimises the risk of weeds germinating and leaves a firm surface for following operations. These lightweight, high output models are available in 4, 4.8, 5, 6 and 7m working widths to suit available horsepower and tramline width. FG

Time for a Re--Think ? Re Last year’s wet Autumn highlighted the risks of both later drilling dates and climate change, resulting in many farmers re-thinking their approach to drilling.

Direct Drilling

Tine drill ranges offer precision and flexibility

Premium discs come with range of benefits Direct drilling comes with a simple aim; to retain moisture and place seed directly into the ground with no previous cultivation. Profitable Farming Company is looking specifically at oilseed rape establishment, utilising the premium-built Ozyrus II discs. Mounted to the discs an air seeder to splash plates allows for high work rates and low horsepower requirements, from just 120hp for the 3m discs. Working at a 50mm maximum depth reduces moisture losses, resulting in faster, more even establishment. Discs come as standard with straw tines to spread trash and optional rear tines to cover any seeds after the steel ring packer. Utilising the standard 560mm discs, residual trash is easily dealt with – but for extreme trash

conditions, an optional 620mm disc is available. Discs are manufactured by OFAS, which has a reputation for premium discs across Europe. The Titan 6m hydraulic folding discs are top of the range, with heavy duty running through every aspect of the trailed unit. The standard specification provides maximum specification, even down to air brakes for road transport, so nothing is left off the wish list and work potential is maximised. Soil cultivation depth is controlled by the standard front depth wheels to stop lateral movement in high-speed cultivation, with the steel ring packer consolidating to hold the moisture in the ground. PFC offers in-field setup and support to ensure maximum confidence. FG

Strength – Reliabilty – Quality

For the UK market, Kockerling offers two tine drill ranges – the Jockey and the Ultima. The Jockey is a 6m semi mounted trailed drill using four rows of S tines followed by a double STS roller and tine harrow. Row spacing is 16.6cm with a 40mm band of seed. The drill can be used on ploughing, min till, and direct. With an under-frame clearance of 60cm, the drill can easily cope with copious amounts of trash. Thanks to its large inter tine clearance and light weight, Kockerling says it has proved very useful in the late, wet autumn drilling slot. The tank size is 3,600-litres and power requirement is 25hp/m. Both 9 and 10m versions are available as a bespoke build. The Ultima drill uses a much heavier tine preceded by a rubbered press wheel. Each coulter is individually pressured by a

hydraulic cylinder, allowing every seed coulter to follow the ground contours, making it the most precise tined drill on the market, the company reckons. The drills principle is consolidated, sow, cover, consolidate, resulting in a firm weatherproof finish. Tine spacing Is 18cm with a 60mm band of seed. With only one adjustment it is very easy to set up and operate. Ultima is available in 3, 4 or 6m CS versions or in the larger 8 and 9m seed cart version with tank capacity from 3,000–4,000-litres. Seed and fertiliser is available on the 6m CS version. All drills are Isobus compatible. FG

Strip tillage establishment allows for greater flexibility in difficult seasons.

Is it a case of delayed drilling or healthy establishment? For many, the optimum time for drilling cereals is mid-October but growers can be torn between later drilling to aid weed control and getting the seed drilled early in warmer soil for uniform establishment. Mzuri reckons you can have both. Direct drilling specialists Mzuri claims its Pro-Til system offers users the best of both worlds – an ability to control grass weeds pre-drilling, alongside the flexibility of establishing consistent and competitive crops later in the season. By adopting a whole system approach, the manufacturer suggests that growers can capitalise on

timings by choosing a weatherproof establishment method. The design of its landmark Pro-Til drill aims to provide just that by working directly into uncultivated stubbles, which by their very nature are well-structured and stable. When comparing this against working with pre-cultivated soils which can be prone to slumping through a loss of structure, growers

have little leeway for extending their drilling season whilst still guaranteeing rapid establishment. The Mzuri system allows users to maximise the benefits of cultivations whilst still retaining the structural integrity of the soil for better travelling and high germination rates later in the season. The one-pass drill delivers seed accurately into a strip of friable tilth, before being reconsolidated for excellent seed to soil contact, providing the perfect environment for successful germination. This targeted cultivation mineralises

nitrogen which, coupled with bandplaced fertiliser, yields rapid, early growth. The resulting seedlings are competitive to emerging weeds, and better able to grow away from pest pressures. By having this assurance that crops will establish quickly and evenly, Mzuri suggests growers can afford to pick their timings to suit weed control techniques such as stale seedbeds – something the manufacturer advocates. The Mzuri Rezult stubble rake is one such tool that was developed on the manufacturer’s trial farm to effectively reduce weed populations prior to drilling. By delaying drilling, with a system that allows the flexibility to do so and not run the risk of poor establishment, growers can achieve a broad chit of grass weeds by stimulating the surface with the Rezult rake. By taking the pressure off and widening the cereal drilling window, it is possible to achieve several flushes from multiple passes with the rake, allowing for the best control possible prior to drilling. This, combined with a strong healthy plant that establishes well, even late into the year, means the Mzuri system offers growers the versatility and flexibility they need in unpredictable seasons, the company reckons.

Direct Drilling

Driving down the cost of crop establishment Dale Drills was founded by Lincolnshire farmer, John ‘Edward’ Dale, and has been a long-term advocate of low impact cultivation – recognising its importance in improving soil structure and the associated benefits of improved fertility and increased yields. Dale Drills has been helping farmers to drive down the cost of crop establishment for over 20 years. Now run by Edward’s two sons, Tom and James, who grow 3,500 acres of combinable crops (utilising no-till and CTF techniques) in North Lincolnshire, the company prides itself on technical expertise and practical understanding. The company’s Eco-Drill assembly combines technology with a versatile but simple design to ensure accurate, effective and low-cost establishment. Fitted with two 12mm wide, low

disturbance tines, the Eco-Drill assembly can be quickly adjusted to provide 5in (12.5cm) or 10in (25cm) row spacings. Attached to the drill’s main chassis via a parallel linkage, and followed by a depth setting press wheel, the drilling assemblies are able to independently contour follow, ensuring very accurate seeding depth even at the company’s widest working width offering of 13.5m. Each assembly is pressurised into work via a hydraulic ram which is supplied with an adjustable hydraulic

pressure, allowing operators to set the drill to the conditions. Dale Drills claims its tine opener offers greater versatility and a number of other benefits over disc openers. The additional weight disc openers require to gain penetration is avoided, reducing the amount of compaction caused by the drill. This is amplified by the fact that a lower horsepower and therefore lighter tractor can be used to pull the drill or alternatively a wider drill can be used, reducing the amount of ground trafficked. The simplicity of a tine opener removes the need for expensive bearings as well as reducing downtime for repairs. The Eco opener will avoid ‘hair pinning’ of residues, ensuring positive seed-to-soil

contact for rapid germination. The narrow, forward-facing point of the Eco opener will preserve moisture in a dry period whilst also avoiding smearing in wetter soils. With increasing interest from overseas, Dale Drills’s recent developments have focused on wider machines with the new EcoXL being sold across the UK and abroad over the last few years. The machine features a new layout with an 6,250-litre (4.5t) hopper followed by a toolbar fitted with the company’s proven Eco Drilling assemblies. Hoppers can be split into up to four separate sections, to allow for either quarter section control or half section control with fertiliser placed with the seed. Low ground pressure, 710mm wide land wheels are located towards the front of the toolbar, followed by two rows of drilling assemblies which remove any surface compaction. Wider models are fitted with wing stabilising wheels, located on the same axis as the main land wheels to avoid the need for expensive and complicated caster wheels. The Eco range of drills is available in four different layouts from 3–13.5m working widths. Contact the company directly for more information. FG

What if you could simply create the perfect seed bed?

At Dale Drills we’re as passionate about your soil as you are. As farmers we know just how vital good soil structure is to the health of your crop – locking in vital nutrients to create optimum conditions for sowing and growing. Capable of drilling in direct, min-till and conventional seedbeds our versatile range

of lightweight seed drills have been made with exactly that in mind – promoting low impact cultivation that encourages minimal disturbance. Renowned for excellent contour following, accurate seed placement and a low power requirement, why not see how our drills can help your business fulfil its full potential?

TerraMap Carbon offers a groundbreaking way of measuring soil carbon without actually having to break ground! So says Andrew Pitts, host farmer of the Helix National Helix Farm of farm business JW Pitts & Sons located at Mears Ashby and Whiston in Northamptonshire. Andrew’s farm is one of the network of Hutchinsons Helix farms where TerraMap Carbon has been developed and trialled. TerraMap Carbon, launched in May of this year, is the UK’s first ever soil mapping service that is capable of measuring both active and organic carbon in the soil. Andrew’s interest in Carbon mapping is twofold. “Fundamentally anything that is going to improve the resilience and profitability of my business is going to get me to sit up and listen. “We know that having soils that are in good condition and are resilient are going to be more profitable, as they are better able to withstand periods of drought and wet and are also better able to withstand machinery passes. “More resilient soils will, by their very nature, contain higher levels of carbon. “Secondly, if there is a business opportunity to be gleaned from marketing the carbon from the more resilient soils, it’s an additional bonus.” However, as Andrew points out,

none of this is possible without a starting point and knowing what the levels of carbon are in the soil. “As far as I am aware, TerraMap carbon is the only system available in the UK that can actually map both active and organic carbon, so it has been a very exciting and interesting project to have some of our fields mapped. “TerraMap has proved itself to be a very straightforward means of measuring and verifying carbon – providing a baseline or benchmark to work from. It’s repeatable, so therefore it is verifiable which means we can trust the results and use them to see how and where we need to improve the resilience of our soils.” Andrew notes that the results from the mapping very much reflect the changing practices he has taken with his soils over the years. “The plough was abandoned in 2006, and replaced with min-till and shallow cultivations; then, in 2016, we moved over to direct drilling. “With a strong view to constantly improving soil health, over the years we have left crop residue on

128 www.farmersguide.co.uk October 2021

128-135 Precision Farming.indd 128

15/09/2021 10:22

Precision Farming fields, used cover crops in different scenarios and introduced livestock into the rotation. The consequence of all of this is that TerraMap has confirmed we have decent amounts of organic carbon in the soil.”

What do we do with carbon measurements? “Having a baseline carbon measurement means we are now in a position to monitor changes to carbon levels as a result of different management approaches to get an idea of what actually makes a difference. We hope to do this over fields and even split fields. “We know, for example, that a two-year grass ley is beneficial for improving soil carbon reserves, but once the carbon is in the soil we don’t know if its stays there, and if it does how long for. However, using TerraMap carbon we will be able to measure this on a regular basis to provide some insight.” The impact of cover crops on soil carbon is an area of much interest, he adds. “Healthy and resilient soils have higher carbon reserves, so if cover crops help to improve soil structure, then in theory carbon levels should also increase. Again, this is something that we can now test. “We have trialled Hutchinsons’ Maxi Rooter mix on the headlands of spring crops this year with visible

improvements to soils, so we now want to look further into this to find out if it’s just the rooting that has benefitted or is there also a soil carbon benefit to using cover crops on these generally less productive areas?” Andrew hopes to explore the benefits of using Maxi Rooter around the edge of the field and introducing a different mix, say Maxi Cover in the middle of the field. He is also keen to know what the impact of stubble turnips would be in the middle of the field. “To do this, we will use TerraMap carbon after the cover crops have come out and the crops harvested, and compare the readings. “So, it’s a win-win on all levels – by mapping and measuring soil carbon, a picture is created of the health and resilience of the soils; that’s directly linked to profitability, and that’s key. Secondly, knowing what carbon is available in the soils opens up a potential additional income stream through trading.” FG The advantage of trialling TerraMap across all of the Helix farms means that it is possible to collect and analyse a greater amount of data – which may lead to something that is really beneficial and can be fed into ELMS.

Smart operation for the whole chain of cultivation management Elliot Haines, of ERH Services Ltd, first came across the FJ Dynamics AutoSteering Kit when he was looking for a system for his own compact tractor, and was so impressed with it, he became the official UK dealer earlier this year. Since becoming an authorised dealer of the FJD AutoSteering Kit, Mr Haines says 25 kits have been sold and are working very well. Described as the ‘new brain’ of agrirobots, the kit can be fitted

to any make of tractor and offers smart and efficient operations for a wide range of farm machines. Information provided by sensor modules and GNSS ensures that agricultural machines operate

accurately in various working environments. Mr Haines initially studied Agriculture at Writtle College but after a year’s travelling became a commercial helicopter pilot, spending 20 years mainly flying offshore to gas rigs in the North Sea, before working for JCB, the East Anglian Air Ambulance and finally flying from Beccles to wind turbines in the North Sea in support of wind energy. During this time, Mr Haines was also running his own paddock maintenance contracting business and stumbled upon the FJD Autosteer earlier in 2021, as he was looking for a system for his compact tractor for spraying. He was so impressed with it he began importing it and so far it has been very well received by customers. The system works day and night, without fear of rain or dust, and no matter how bad the working environment is. FJ Dynamics has also developed a ‘Running Mode’ function for situations in which the RTK signal is disconnected, in order to meet farmers’ needs in certain specific conditions. The kit consists of a control

terminal, electric steering wheel, sensor module and GNSS antenna. The control terminal is a combination of a display and a controller. The 10.1in HD high brightness screen is clearly visible even when there is strong sunlight. The self-developed electric steering wheel with highly-integrated torque can be used in any kind of environment, says Mr Haines. The sensor module is integrated with multiple sensors to ensure high-precision operations and working stability when the vehicle is running. The GNSS antenna is capable of positioning with high accuracy and able to receive data on longitude, latitude and direction. The signal is relatively strong and stable. It can automatically adjust the direction in which the vehicle is travelling with operational accuracy up to 2.5cm, using GPS, GLONASS, Beidou and GALILEO satellite signals, combined with a self-developed high-torque waterproof and dust-proof motor. This kit also uses sensor fusion, consisting of satellite navigation, inertial navigation and computer vision to control the steering wheel, so that the vehicle can drive automatically in a straight line.

Specialist company aims to ensure all farmers can be future-ready

Remote support added to display systems Have you been working in the field and experienced an issue with your Trimble display? Is there an implement which you just cannot get the measurements right for? How often have you been sat on the headland wishing an expert was sat beside you? To resolve this, Vantage ASC now offers TeamViewer Remote Support on Trimble displays (GFX/ TMX/XCN) via a downloadable app on the device. Once installed, the operator is able to connect the device to the internet, access a unique device identification number and share it with one of the service/support engineers, allowing them to log into the display. “Once logged in, our engineers can not only see exactly what the

operator sees, but we can take over the control of the display and make necessary adjustments or changes to help you get moving again. Nothing is more frustrating for our customers than not being able to progress due to a technical glitch; connecting operators and engineers quicker has been a priority for us,” says Vantage ASC national sales manager Mark Griffiths. Vantage ASC says the feature is significantly reducing time spent on the phone or waiting for an engineer. Now supplying displays with a modem and sim card bundle on both 12- and 24-month contracts, Vantage adds Teamviewer to its portfolio of proactive services designed to keep technology up and running for longer.

As precision farming technology becomes an increasing part of every farm, the Thurlow Nunn group has responded by launching SymAgri – a separate company specialising in agricultural technology. SymAgri was awarded the Trimble franchise in January 2021, after a strategy review of how best to provide customers with independent precision farming solutions. Formed from an internal department at the Thurlow Nunn group, the team is headed by Gavin Ludkin and Andy Bell, with a growing team of engineers carrying out support and new fitment work. SymAgri offers the full Trimble product range, with the most popular being the GFX750 screen and NAV900 receiver. This provides a flexible base to make any tractor,

harvester, or implement steer, using guidance. There is no brand limitation, as the system’s kits are bespoke to every application, fitted by the experienced SymAgri team. Supporting these units is also critical as the industry becomes more reliant on them, so SymAgri has a range of support packages for existing and new users. One of SymAgri’s philosophies is to ensure that any farmer can be future-ready, which is why the portfolio now includes many other types of applications, including telemetry devices, weather stations, irrigation monitors and much more. This ensures the whole farm is connected and the end user has as much information as possible to effectively manage their business. FG

New launches improve guidance and auto-steer accuracy

LH Agro has launched two new Topcon Agriculture manual guidance and autosteering receivers, the AGM-1 and AGS-2, as well as a new satellite and bridging correction service, Topnet Live, to improve the accuracy and repeatability of precision farming operations. “The ability to accurately position cultivation, seeding and spraying equipment underpins the entire concept of precision farming, with the reliability, accuracy and durability of products including satellite receivers, steering kits and control consoles playing a massive part in ensuring farming operations can be carried out quickly and efficiently along repeatable A-B lines,” explains managing director Richard Reed. The new Topcon AGS-2 receiver allows up to four satellite

constellations to be tracked simultaneously, thereby allowing for more stable GPS positioning, whilst at the same time delivering excellent steering performance from its built-in steer controller, LH Agro says. It can track GPS, GLONAS, GALILEO and BEIDOU satellites, ensuring accurate positioning no matter where you are farming. The AGM-1 receiver is the next generation of manual guidance receiver, which replaces the existing Topcon SGR-1. The new model has been designed to be more durable

than its predecessor whilst allowing additional features such as Topcon TruPass, which delivers more accurate and stable pass-to-pass positioning in dynamic applications. Both of the new receivers are smaller than their precursors, making them less noticeable when installed and less susceptible to accidental damage. In addition, Topcon Agriculture has released additional features including NavBridge which allows GPS signals to be approximated when coverage is interrupted by tree cover, and SkyBridge, a new signal bridging service which ensures machines being guided by the AGS-2 receiver on an RTK signal can continue to operate if the RTK signal is momentarily interrupted. “The new Topnet Live suite of signal correction services allows users to benefit from an RTK guidance signal without the need to connect to a fixed base station,” Mr Reed continues. “This system enables growers to operate across a wider area without having to constantly change from one base station to the next, and without

having to worry about signal losses.” Topnet Live is a subscriptionbased service. Four levels of accuracy are available: Realpoint: Provides RTK accuracy (2cm or less) via a SIMbased mobile data system without the need for a fixed base station. Gives growers greater flexibility to use a highly accurate guidance system in areas where RTK bases are scarce. Initialisation and signal acquisition take seconds. Starpoint Pro: Provides users with 3–6cm guidance accuracy and uses satellite data, meaning the service can be used globally. Initialisation time is 18 minutes or less. Starpoint: Offers correction of 50cm accuracy and uses satellite data, meaning the service can be used globally. Initialisation time is five minutes or less. Skybridge: Offers connection accuracy of 2–4cm via an internet or radio signal and provides a satellite backup service. Initialisation takes seconds.

Software specialist launches major integration update Agricultural software specialist Farmplan has released a Gatekeeper update that delivers improved integration with Claas machines that utilises wireless data transfer for enhanced functionality and efficiency. The download became live and available to all Gatekeeper users on 6th July. “This development reflects the importance of integration between our respective systems,” said Ben Hatton, head of sales at Farmplan. “Claas has been a longstanding partner and we are delighted to bring the benefits of this relationship to our mutual customers.” Farmers, growers, agronomists, and advisors across the UK regularly use Gatekeeper as their trusted crop management tool. This new update will let those users who operate Claas machinery – and its Telematics software – to wirelessly transmit data sets between Claas and Gatekeeper

seamlessly and instantly. “Previously, farmers may have been downloading their collected field data onto USB storage or downloading data from the Telematics website,” said Andrew Wolff, product manager at Farmplan. “This update completely removes the need for all those extra steps, freeing up time on the farm while ensuring all your data is immediately accessible, preserved, and secure.” This functionality allows a seamless experience for those farmers who use both Gatekeeper and Claas machinery as part of their daily workflow. At the touch of a button, all relevant data can be accessed and managed. Integration also ensures that all data sets are refined and

ready for use to ensure minimal admin and more practical usage on the farm. “In many ways, farming has become more disparate,” says Andrew. “For example, if there’s a lot of contracting taking place, a farmer might not have their usual immediate insight into what’s going on with each field. This update removes that barrier. The closer level of integration lets you know the exact situation on your farm at any time.” The new update will also provide greater support for precision farming. Users can instantly upload their Gatekeeper boundaries straight to Claas Telematics – vital for the UK, where boundaries can change yearly in line with stewardship schemes and other circumstances. “Essentially, we allow your data to move along a two-way street,” says Andrew. “Every year, you can upload your crop area boundaries

and the data is adjusted accordingly. This upgrade brings those two silos of data into one.” Edward Miller, UK product manager at Claas, commented: “The direct link between Claas Telematics and Gatekeeper will save a huge amount of time for our customers. Being able to synchronise data with a few clicks could not be easier.” The update is now available for download, allowing farmers to utilise and leverage their data more effectively through greater integration. “It’s the best of both worlds for Gatekeeper and Claas Telematics users,” added Andrew. “The new update will support agile and effective work while helping to create a more integrated farming world for everyone.” The new Gatekeeper/Claas integration update is available to download now.

Embracing the next generation of farming Precision Ag at Ben Burgess is a key factor in delivering premium customer support. Fine tuning of machines and implements by Precision Ag consultants operating across East Anglia and beyond, provides the foundation for getting the best performance out of customers’ John Deere products. Each machine receives a tailored set up specific to individual customers and their way of farming. Years of comprehensive data analysis empowers the Precision Ag team with a skillset that can save customers both time and money, Ben Burgess reckons. In addition, training is provided to ensure confidence with

the technology amongst operators and farm managers. As soon as any ‘Connected Machine’ (a machine with JDLink ) is set off, with the owner’s permission, Ben Burgess can continually monitor its performance using unique reports which allow the team to consult on functional adjustments.

JDLink also provides a conduit to a platform called Expert Alerts, which combines intelligent algorithms with a smart prioritising system, which can predict a possible machine failure. Having consent switched on for Expert Alerts means that when Ben Burgess receives a ‘Critical Expert Alert’, a member of the team can offer support immediately. Using JDLink to remotely access the machine means they are often able to gather enough information before attending the machine to enable a first-time fix. More recently, John Deere has launched an industry-leading ‘Performance Alerts’ system which focuses on optimising machine performance, allowing Ben Burgess to assist its customers with enhancing machine operation, as they are working. Data created by machines as they operate has become an important part of the agricultural world. It is one of Ben Burgess’s priorities to assist in the collection and interpretation of this valuable commodity, then present the opportunities it highlights to customers. However, data needs to be stored safely, accessed easily, worked with and of course utilised. This is where the John Deere MyOperations

Center comes in. It can collect all data generated by JDLink-enabled machines (not just John Deere), store field boundaries, A-B lines, produce application prescriptions and store all historical field data. All of which enables farm owners and managers to make informed decisions for the following year’s cropping season. Ben Burgess’ seven-strong Precision Ag team pride themselves on their knowledge and expertise, built up over a combined total of 70 years’ experience. With the increased demands and difficulties faced in farming over the last two years due to weather pressures and the pandemic, it is more important to Ben Burgess than ever before to ensure customers maintain access to its wealth of Precision Ag knowledge. This prompted the introduction of a ground-breaking centralised communication system called Expert Connect, which ensures customers always have access to a consultant when they need it most through one centralised mobile phone app. Combining these elements and building data-based partnerships allows the Ben Burgess Precision Ag team to provide solutions that really make a difference to farmers and their operations.

Sprayers Features such as section control and automatic boom height adjustment on the Metris sprayer provide the levels of precision application that owner Rob Holmes requires.

New sprayer is long-term investment For Derbyshire arable and dairy farmer Rob Holmes, a new sprayer should be a 10–15 year investment, so the decision on a new make and model was not to be taken lightly. In fact, it was an 18-month quest, which finally ended following a trip to the Cereals Event when Rob settled on the machine that offered the necessary build quality, and sufficiently advanced technology, to give over a decade of good service. That was back in 2014, so six seasons later – or approximately halfway through the sprayer’s life expectancy at Park Style Farm – is the Kuhn Metris fulfilling its promise? “My initial impression when I saw the machine at Cereals was that it looked right,” recalls Rob. “It was wellproportioned and balanced, whereas so many of the other options looked top heavy. “Other key requirements were aluminium booms and a steering axle, and I wanted auto shut-off, automatic boom height adjustment and auto wash-out. The Metris was the only trailed 24m sprayer available at that time that offered all these options. “Other considerations were the reputation and likely longevity of the manufacturer. When you are buying a machine that you expect to still have many years later you want to be sure about long term parts and servicing back-up. Kuhn is a company with a long history and a strong reputation for

quality. They have a UK headquarters that is relatively local to me and they’ve shown their commitment to the future with their investment in people and technology. Everything down to the quality of the paintwork gave me the confidence that the Metris was the right machine for me.” Rob bought his Metris to replace a 24m trailed machine that had done long service across the 1,100-acres that he farms near Ashbourne. Whilst boom width remained the same, he did opt for the increased capacity of a 3,200-litre tank (up from 2,500 litres on his old machine). This extra tank capacity, plus the auto wash-out facility that completes three cycles for a thorough clean in 15 minutes, have all helped to increase the efficiency of spraying operations. “We’re growing around 530-acres of winter wheat and 200-acres of winter barley, in addition to about 50-acres each of spring rape and spring beans,” says Rob, “so a lot of the cropping will have four or five passes with the sprayer in a typical season. We’ll also spray the grassland for weed control. It’s a lot of work, often under time pressure, so having a machine that’s efficient and reliable provides great peace of mind.”

which offered greater control and precision than the standard factory fitting,” says Rob. “It’s been worthwhile investing to get the machine that we want, given the length of service we’re expecting.” Other features that were specified and have proven their worth are the steering axle, which helps manoeuvrability and cuts down on any deviation from the tramlines, and the automatic boom height control. Rob also opted for the Equilibra boom suspension on his Metris – a system that helps to minimise the stresses and strains on the structure during work and in transport.

Sprayer range maximises crop potential Garford Hooded Sprayers, Band Sprayers, Spot Sprayer and Weedfoil were developed to enable precise and accurate application of plant protection products and fertilisers to growing crops, maximising crop potential and reducing environmental impact. The company’s Robocrop Precision Guidance analyses multiple crop rows to find the average row centre position to an accuracy usually better than 1cm. This enables great efficiency for chemical applications as high accuracy allows greater inter-row coverage. The Hooded Sprayer features a tough polyethylene hood, breakback mountings, quick and easy bandwidth setup from 12–65cm per hood, with soil engaging plant protection shields for added plant safety. Integral spray tank systems can be mounted on the sprayer toolbar and, for increased

capacity, front-mounted low-profile tanks can be used. Integrating a Band Sprayer system within a Hooded Sprayer is common practice, so applying liquid fertiliser and plant protection chemicals can be applied on a single pass. Precision Weedfoil aims to control large, early emerging weeds such as volunteer potatoes in root vegetable crops. The Weedfoil pad height can be adjusted remotely via an electric actuator. The Spot Sprayer is designed to target individual clusters of weed material growing in young row crops. Specifically, volunteer potatoes growing in carrot and onion crops. As it advances forward, the weeds pass the toolbar and the appropriate nozzle is momentarily fired to accurately apply the required dosage. FG

Pioneer Trailed Sprayer

Pioneering a solid performer Although S&K Sprayers (FarmGEM’s sole importer for the UK and Ireland) offers wider boom widths, 24m remains the most popular. But technology is also now key too, so the Pioneer Trailed Sprayer (which superseded the Diamond) is the UK’s most popular machine, the company says. Specified with a 3,300-litre tank and the proven Self-Trak drawbar, it is ideal for use for crops where the precise wheel tracking is key, and in OSR where the smooth underbelly and 600mm+ clearance is important, S&K says. A Delta 80 terminal with 8.4in colour screen controls the application rate, combined with a joystick for control of spraying on/off and boom functions. Axle suspension, hydraulic brakes and an automatic priming and purging circulation system are

also standard features, as are the stainless steel 19mm spray lines and chemical induction hopper. A new two-stage folding Series 3 boom with ‘3D’ active boom suspension is fitted to the trailed models and backed by a three-year warranty. The 18, 20, 21 and 24m boom widths are easily available as the Series 3 versatile construction allows boom widths to be changed by adding wider bolt in sections of boom. The boom has tilt correction and boom lock as standard and booms can also be specified with independent variable geometry and independent outer boom fold. The 3D active suspension system controls boom bounce, incline and yaw. Other features such as Precision Farming DGPS auto spray section control, auto boom levelling and LED night lighting are available as options. FG

Sprayers

Maximum output, maximum precision on one axle Amazone has extended its UX trailed sprayer range with the UX 7601 Super and UX 8601 Super high-performance models, with an actual volume of 8,000- and 9,000-litres respectively. The compact Amazone machine design means that the new models combine tank capacities of up to 9,000-litres and boom widths of up to 42m, yet keep the excellent manoeuvrability and high stability of a single-axle sprayer. The newly developed chassis of the UX 7601 Super and UX 8601 Super directly links the axle to the standard lower hitch drawbar. The forwardsloping chassis design maintains an ideal weight distribution of the sprayer, and thus permissible drawbar and axle loads are optimally utilised. The centre of gravity is particularly low in the new chassis concept and

so ensures high stability, even on hilly terrain and when negotiating bends. The chassis also enjoys particularly good ground clearance, Amazone says. The narrow profile of the spray agent tank, with the fresh water tanks mounted on either side of the chassis, contributes to its safe handling, especially when the tank is partially filled. Another advantage of the tank shape, which is made of polyethylene, is the extremely rounded design and the exceptionally smooth inner and outer walls, which make overall cleaning very easy, the company reckons. Designed for high outputs, the

Super-L3 boom now encompasses working widths of 39, 40 or 42m. One-sided independent folding up to the inner boom section for negotiating obstacles is also a major advantage, and ContourControl active boom guidance system and the SwingStop active vibration damping system are fitted as standard. The new larger tank capacities come hand-in-hand with two newlydesigned, high-capacity piston diaphragm pumps with an output of 250-litres/min (spray pump) and 350-litres/min (agitation pump). These highly reliable piston diaphragm pumps enable consistently high

delivery capacities, regardless of the spray pressure. Consistently high agitation outputs and application rates are always available, even at high system pressures. In addition, the piston diaphragm pumps are self-priming, which means that the complete spray agent circuit is set up very simply and with short hose routing. The spray and agitation pumps can be driven either by a PTO shaft or hydraulically. The hydraulic pump drive, which is fully integrated in the Isobus control, regulates the required pump speed fully automatically depending on the operating status. In addition to the enormous work rates, the two new UX Super models also focus on reducing the driver's workload. The SmartCenter settings centre and complete operator station are securely protected under the access cover to the left-hand side of the sprayer. The high-capacity 60-litre induction bowl is also located here. The SmartCenter offers the ideal solution for every customer requirement with the high-end Comfort-Pack plus offering maximum convenience with the pressuresensitive touch terminal for machine operation with fully automated filling and cleaning processes.

Sprayers Smart alternative to PWN launches For sprayer operators looking for individual nozzle control with the addition of variable rate along the spray boom, to provide true turn compensation without the restriction on nozzle choice associated with PWM systems, Altek has launched the new Smart C Spray 124. Smart C Spray ‘True Turn’ flow compensation alters the application rate by swapping to a more suitable nozzle/nozzle combination dependent on the boom tip speed at every position. Switching time is just 0.2 seconds, so there is no noticeable interruption in spray pattern. It is also available with the optional Flow monitoring (Nozzle Spy), which monitors the liquid flow per nozzle position via an integrated flow meter in the line clamp. The Altek SBR 500 regulation valve has been developed to provide fast reacting and proportional flow control with integrated feedback to ensure controlled application at all times. User Interface control is provided by the in-house developed 10in touchscreen LT PC

Terminal with integrated NavGuide GPS solution. This solution provides all typical Precision AG features and supports multiple GPS solutions including RTK, variable application rate via Prescription map. In order to provide greater flexibility of the Smart C Spray system, Altek and its partner Lykketronic are currently developing an ‘ISO-Bridge’ solution which will enable the INC system to work on machines using Isobus control platforms. FG

Compact sprayer design attracts interest from contractors Team Sprayers is reporting an increase in sales of its Arian 2 mounted sprayer, with particular interest from contractors. The Arian 2 is Team’s largest tractor-mounted agricultural sprayer and features rotationally moulded plastic tanks with capacities up to 1,800-litres and boom lengths up to 27m, plus a two-stage control valve operation system designed to keep liquid wastage to a minimum, whilst optimising the sprayer functions. The Cambridgeshire-based manufacturer believes it has seen more interest as customers are keen to buy British. Team’s managing director Danny Hubbard said: “As a British manufacturer we can offer initial personalised set up support and long-term after sales

service which is important to our customer base.” Tony Leach, of Tony Leach Contracting Services, is reporting an excellent first season with his Arian 2: “Buying British was definitely a factor for us; it was great to get personal service from Team for the initial set up. We bought a 24m boom with a 1,800-litre tank at the back and 800-litre on the front. The boom is very compact when folded away, which is great for us as we move around a lot between farms. It’s brilliant in the field and very easy to operate. I have been really pleased with it and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.” The Arian 2 comes in 1,200-, 1,600- and 1,800-litre tank sizes. FG

Sprayers Sprayer range ‘constantly innovated and developed’ Based in picturesque Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire, Househam Sprayers designs, innovates and manufactures self-propelled sprayers; with a diverse product range available to fulfil all individual spraying requirements. With four machines completing the range, the Spirit, AirRide, Harrier and Predator, Househam says it is constantly innovating and developing the range to ensure it is class-leading in all areas. The Air Ride, Harrier and Predator have been upgraded to the Claas Jaguar cab, optimising operator comfort, visibility and overall machine performance. All are available with Househam’s own GPS solution, NavGuide. With the company’s willingness to produce bespoke machines, it says it has won export business from customers all over the EU, Australia, New Zealand, Ukraine and many other nonEuropean countries. The renowned

AirRide (pictured), introduced in 2002, has been developed constantly in order to meet different spraying requirements, including strawberry sprayers, the Cotton Boss and the Veg Boss. It boasts a high standard specification with efficiency, reliability and comfort at the heart of its design. It is available with a range of optional advanced technologies designed to maximise application accuracy and productivity. These include Auto Nozzle Select (ANS), Househam Intelligent Transmission System (HITS) ultra-sonic Boom Height Control and the Spray Pilot hydraulically controlled auto-steer. FG

The future of crop protection? compromising on overall sprayer and boom stability. It also enables the driver to steer with booms folded to help increase efficiency especially within the smaller fields. The Aeon Centura Line is equipped as standard with PrimeFlow – a pressure-fed boom fluid system that guarantees rapid priming and prevents sedimentation and clogging. When spraying starts, liquid has already been distributed across the entire boom, circulating at the requested pressure through the spray lines. When spraying stops, the liquid will continue to circulate at a standby pressure. Even when spraying at low pressure, the spray lines are completely drained, leaving only a small residual volume, which means less liquid is required for cleaning. FG

The Aeon is the first of the new sprayers within the Centura Line series from Hardi, as the manufacturer has expanded its offering into a more sophisticated range of crop sprayers with higher specifications, advanced technology options, and finished off with a more desirable, modern and sleek design. The Aeon is currently available with tank capacity of 4,200- and 5,200-litres, and boom widths from 24–39m. Delta Force steel booms are standard on the Hardi Aeon, and technology includes individual nozzle control and automatic nozzle selection. The Hardi Aeon is manufactured with rear-wheel steering, enabling the operator to make sharper turns on the headland, whilst not

Make sure there is time to spray After two wet autumns, farmers are understandably anxious to get wheat drilled up. But this shouldn’t be at the expense of a timely pre-em herbicide programme. “Herbicides are a significant investment for the farmer, so effective application is vital,” says Tom Chillcott of Bayer. “You achieve consistent, good control by using Liberator (flufenacet + diflufenican) at the pre-em timing, ideally within 48 hours of drilling.” “This year, farmers can add Proclus (aclonifen) to the tank mix to improve control against difficult black-grass and ryegrass populations. It is pre-em only so farmers need to make sure

they have time to get back and spray soon after drilling to get the benefit.” Dick Neale, technical manager at Hutchinsons (pictured), says the past two seasons should serve as a stark reminder to cereal growers in black-grass areas of the perils of allowing the drill to get too far ahead of the sprayer. He thinks that the majority of bad black-grass

situations are due to delayed spraying or no herbicide being used at all because of this. “Beyond weed issues, drilling early also puts wheat under other pressures – the most significant being longer exposure to the septoria pathogen, with the associated yield penalty.” Whilst some may be pinning hopes on a return to an easier autumn like 2018’s, preparation to be able to adapt to whatever the weather may bring is essential, stresses Mr Neale. “There is a trade-off between, on the one hand,

holding off drilling on heavy land for sufficient black-grass flushes to emerge, and on the other ensuring it gets drilled before the weather turns towards late October. If you farm in an area where this scenario is familiar, then a plan B is required, as plan C – drilling early, in September – will most likely result in a bad black-grass infestation, early set-up of yellow rust and exposure to septoria”. In short, growers convinced that land is fit to drill should make sure there is a weather window and sufficient machine capacity to ensure it receives its follow-up preem spray as soon as possible after establishment, he emphasises. “If you are a one-person operation, consider a contractor to spray for you if that’s what’s necessary to keep up with the drill, or that the sprayer is ready to follow the drill as it leaves the field.” The way you manage your soil also influences results. Most important of all, the land needs to be fit for travel. “Any spray recommendations are worthless if you can’t get on. “Make your pre-em application as soon as you are able, but don’t race your spraying. Keep the boom low and your speed at 10–12km/h. Boom height stability comes with low forward speed,” Mr Neale concludes. FG

Farm Safety & Security

Using simple technology to save lives on-farm Farm safety issues remain very much in the spotlight, with the Health and Safety Executive recently issuing a warning after a spate of farm deaths. With this in mind, we caught up with Aberdeenshire farmer Marc Skivington about his popular safety app Smart Farmer, and how it could help to reduce deaths and injuries on farm. The latest HSE figures, published in July, show there were 41 deaths in the agriculture, forestry and fishing industries in 2020/21 – almost double last year’s figure of 21. In August, the HSE urged farmers and farmworkers to prioritise farm safety after four fatalities were reported in just two weeks. With these sobering statistics at the forefront of our minds, simple technology to help farmers improve safety has never been more essential. The Smart Farmer app was created by Marc Skivington, who manages a 1,800ha business at Slainspark Farm, growing combinable crops, seed potatoes, turnips and daffodils; milking 400 dairy cows and fattening 52,000 pigs a year, as well as managing a 300-head beef herd. The farm also has a 400kW anaerobic digester, a 500kW wind turbine and a 400kW biomass plant. When Marc wanted to improve safety and make machinery checks easier on his own farm, he found the available technology was lacking and decided to create his own app, which launched at Lamma ’20. Since then, it has seen numerous updates and now offers not only a simple way of completing machinery checks, but also features to improve lone worker safety, field hazard identification, training, risk assessments and more. As a result, it was voted as one of the top five must-have safety apps by farmers during Farm Safety Week last year. It has also picked up a range of other awards, including Agri-Tech Innovator of the Year at the British Farming Awards and a Royal Highland Show Silver Award for Technical Innovation. Marc is now investing £40,000 into various additional updates over the coming months, to meet various requirements following feedback from users. Further information will be revealed in due course.

The software explained The app and cloud-based software uses a simple traffic light system to help operators complete checks on machinery and equipment before starting work, as well as keeping up-to-date with maintenance, servicing and training. Checklists are easily customisable, so you can opt for just a few checks, or a more comprehensive list. Farmers and other users can record prestart checks on their mobile phones, with QR codes used to identify machines quickly, while the app’s traffic light system shows the state of machinery at a glance. Users can also view

ongoing raised and resolved issues, adding a photo to make a raised issue easier to identify. The app works with all types of machinery and is available on Apple and Android phones. It can be used by unlimited users and machines, and with the industry becoming increasingly aware of farm safety, it can be used as a tool for planned preventative maintenance (PPM). As well as helping farmers to comply with the law, it enables employers, managers and operators to better communicate and take responsibility for machine safety. Other features of the app include risk assessments, training documents and the ability to record and print service reports and daily usage of machinery. This means risk assessments are easily accessible from the user’s phone – saving paper and avoiding them being hidden away in the back of a cupboard. The app can also give reminders when a service is due. As a cloud-based service, data is shared with everyone on the farm, so that all team members know the status and condition of the equipment.

place reasonable safety measures – so this new feature will be a welcome addition. Meanwhile, within the Smart Farmer web portal, fields can now easily be added by the admin of the site, creating a field boundary and utilising the simple key to plot all hazards on the map. Additional hazards can be added to the key for future reference. When the operator enters the field boundary, they receive a notification providing a map to highlight all of the hazards within the field. For more information contact Smart Farmer or sign up for a free 28-day trial via www.smartfarmerapp.co.uk. FG

Recent updates Lone working and field hazard identification were recently added to the app to further improve its safety benefits. The lone working feature allows administrators to set how often the system checks workers’ latitude and longitude coordinates, so if they are the same as on the previous reading, an alert will be sent to the operator and administrator. The administrator will receive a link to the operator’s location so they can check on their safety. Lone working is commonplace in agriculture and comes with the potential for higher risks and more severe consequences if workers are not able to summon help quickly. Those responsible for farm businesses have a legal duty to themselves and their workers to put in October 2021 www.farmersguide.co.uk 145

Secure storage for chemicals and machinery help prevent break-ins and painted in dark green to blend in with agricultural surroundings with a light grey interior. As well as the converted chemical storage units, shipping containers can also provide a solution to all other storage needs. A standard unit can be a cost-effective secure environment for small tractors, quad-bikes and hand-held petrol equipment etc., which are highly desirable to thieves and often stolen from farms and rural homes. For professional advice on storage requirements, contact Jane and her team directly. FG

Jane Billing has been in the container business for 35 years, having started out as an office manager for a container survey firm, making regular contact with container depots and shipping lines, gaining the skills and expertise she has today. Billie Box was founded by Jane in 2012, specifically to be a knowledgeable and professional supplier of shipping containers to farmers and manufacturing companies. Jane realised some time ago that farmers needed specialist chemical storage for pesticides, fertilisers or pest control poisons to meet the Health and Safety Executive’s requirements for safe storage of chemicals. So she developed a range of specially-converted containers to ensure these dangerous chemicals are safe from accidental misuse and theft. Lipped shelves and a ventilation system are among the changes made from a standard container. A high-security lock and hardened steel surround are added to

Exposed to the blustery elements of the North Atlantic, it’s no wonder the UK is a world leader when it comes to wind power generation. In 2020, wind contributed 24.8% of all power generated, and on 26th December 2020, Storm Bella saw wind power provide more than 50% of the UK’s energy needs over a 24-

hour period for the first time ever.

Obligation. The UK has set a target of 40GW of installed wind capacity by 2030 – an increase from the 24.1 GW generated by more than 10,000 turbines today. Wind power is at the heart of the government’s Build Back Greener initiative, with £160 million being made available to upgrade and develop offshore wind capacity. As the UK progresses towards its target of net zero carbon emissions by 2050, wind will become a more important asset in decarbonising the country’s energy system. Much of our future generating capacity will come from large wind farms. However, businesses like farms can also play an important role in the growth of wind power with individual turbines. And small-scale wind installations will have a role to play as the UK moves to a more decentralised system with a greater number of distributed generation assets spread around the country.

Powering the future

Turning generators into vendors

Improvements in technology combined with lower installation costs have pushed the growth of wind power, but so have government incentives such as the Feed in Tariff and Renewable

By increasing the amount of independent wind power generated, the UK can reduce its dependency on emissions-intensive forms of power. By taking the surplus renewable electricity from

small scale generators like farms, the grid can become less dependent on bringing gas or coal power sources online. This is facilitated through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).

The role of PPAs A key mechanism in supporting the growth of independent generators are PPAs, which help promote the growth of independent generation. Electricity suppliers will offer a price to the generators for their excess energy, over an agreed period. This energy will then be sold on to supply customers. For owners of small-scale wind installations, PPAs allow them to generate extra revenue, and stay in control. Drax offers a range of PPA options, beyond the standard agreements, to suit differing business needs.

Looking for a renewables purchasing partner? Drax has partnered with more than 2,300 renewables generators – including 810 sites dedicated to wind power, with a total generating capacity of nearly 141kWh. To learn more about how Drax can partner with you to find the ideal PPA, download the Drax PPA guide at www.energy.drax.com/ppaguide. FG

Farm Diversification

How will the latest taxation issues affect your business? Experts from Larking Gowen, one of the UK’s largest agriculture accounting specialists, highlight two current taxation issues. Those with long memories may recall the generous tax relief once given on farming and agricultural buildings. Under the old ‘Agricultural Buildings Allowance’ the cost could, at one stage, be written off over seven years, but this was restricted to 4% per annum in 1985 and abolished from 2011 on the basis that such buildings had an indefinite life. “Arguments about this assertion have been raging ever since,” Steven Rudd, lead partner in Larking Gowen’s Farms & Landed Estates team (pictured below), states. “Some recognition was given in October 2018 with the introduction of a ‘structures and building’ allowance, initially at 2% per annum, increased to 3% in April 2020. However, this fails to recognise that modern agricultural buildings have a limited life, are highly specialised, cannot be easily converted and may carry a substantial decommissioning cost when no longer required.” The specialised nature of some structures has led to the testing of a different route to tax relief, drawing on the inclusion of silos and cold stores within the list of items qualifying for allowances as ‘plant and machinery’. The point was tested in the First Tier Tribunal (FTT) case of May & Anor [2019] which found that expenditure on a highly specialised store for drying, conditioning and storing grain was allowable as it was incapable of general use. Anecdotal evidence suggests that HMRC has subsequently sought to restrict the relevance of this case

“

Agricultural buildings have a limited life, are highly specialised, cannot be easily converted and may carry a substantial decommissioning cost. to its very particular circumstances, denying tax relief to specialised livestock or food processing buildings. Another aspect was tested during a 2021 FTT case related to a potato store, specifically

constructed to hold and process crisping potatoes. It was agreed that the internal machinery was eligible as plant, but HMRC denied relief on the building. The tribunal subsequently determined that the construction was fundamental to its function and dismissed the argument by HMRC, which has until mid-September to decide whether to appeal in the Upper Tier Tribunal. Currently, it offers a wider scope for tax relief on the cost of specialised buildings and with 100% Annual Investment Allowance continuing at £1m per annum until 31st December, when it will presumably revert to £200,000, there is probably still an opportunity to be grasped.

‘Making Tax Digital’ will affect many farming businesses Farming businesses are likely to be particularly affected by HMRC’s Making Tax Digital proposals, which could make their tax affairs significantly more complex and create additional charges. Significant thought and forward planning will be needed over the next nine months, William Wadsley, assistant manager at Larking Gowen (pictured above), advises. “In a paper issued 20th July 2021, HMRC confirmed that from 2023/24, tax for the self-employed will be assessed on profits arising during the fiscal year, with transitional arrangements in 2022/23 for businesses which use other year-end dates. This will effectively bring multiple accounting years into one tax year. Unlike the change in 1995/96, there will be no averaging calculation; the figure will simply be all accounting periods ending in 2022/3, plus profits arising between the end of the latest period and 5th April, less any overlap relief brought forward (probably from 1995/6). “The speed with which this is being

introduced is surprising. It was mentioned in the ‘timely payment’ paper in March 2021, but only a week after the consultation period ended a further consultation has been issued, including draft legislation proposed for inclusion in the 2022 Finance Bill.” Larking Gowen believes up to 50,000

“

In a paper issued 20th July 2021, HMRC confirmed that from 2023/24, tax for the self-employed will be assessed on profits during the fiscal year. farmers may fall within the transitional rules. There are several areas where the proposals could create problems: • The transitional year will fall into a period when BPS payments are being phased out and ELMS schemes are beginning, so cash-flows and profitability are likely to fluctuate • Against the backdrop of industry transition there are likely to be more successions taking place, with all the associated tax implications • Most overlap calculations will go back to 1995/6. Not all businesses have records going back that far, particularly if they have changed accountant • The five-year spreading calculations could be complex, especially alongside two- and five-year averaging • There may be higher-rate tax implications and if changes in partnership are already in prospect, considerable detailed planning will be required to optimise tax charges • For arable farms particularly, there may be tax mitigation strategies involving the timing of sales, recognition points of subsidy and choice of future year ends • All relevant businesses must review capital expenditure programmes to assess when and whether to invest over the next 2–3 years for best effect, bearing in mind that the Annual Investment Allowance of £1m is likely to end in January 2022.

Do you own land with development potential?

Hawkspur acts for landowners with potential development land – whether selling it with planning permission or land that may take up to 20 years to be developed. Some landowners and professionals shared their experiences. Hawkspur managing director Nick Harper (pictured) acted as the agent for the promotion and sale of a parcel of farmland for Mr and Mrs R and Mrs DW. “He managed to guide us through the initial selection of a development promoter, the promotion agreement, the ongoing monitoring of the planning application and process, which ultimately led to the successful marketing and a profitable sale to our

preferred housing developer,” they said. “Nick, is now helping us through the various stages of an additional option agreement with the same developer which has all the signs of being equally successful.” The land was sold with consent for 135 houses, and the second phase of 100 houses has been sold to a housebuilder. Meanwhile, another client,

Mr P H and his brother, were considering how to promote a 100-house site on green field open farmland and approached Mr Harper, despite being experienced in land deals themselves. “We are experienced in land deals, including seeking planning permission for large scale residential development and achieving sales reflecting a full measure of development value. However, more recently my brother and I were considering the best avenue of approach for us to promote a 100-house site on green field open

farmland,” Mr P H explained. “We decided on this occasion to approach Nick Harper, whom we both knew. Over a five-year period, he critically helped us to select a suitable national builder for an option agreement and then worked with them and the local authority to achieve planning permission and a land sale on suitable terms. At all times, Nick was energetic, knowledgeable and discreet and played a critical role in the whole process. I commend him for similar ventures.” Kerry Addison, of solicitors Thompson Smith & Puxon, added: “I have collaborated with Nick over several years on various projects of differing values and complexities. Nick has always been patient, helpful and approachable. On occasions where the commercial and legal complexities have conflicted, Nick has always worked with me to find a realistic and practical solution to ensure that the legal position is protected but the commercial aims are achieved.” Whether you own land or buildings with development potential, have been approached by a developer, would like guidance on what your property is worth with planning or want to know if your council has a five-year housing land supply, contact Mr Harper directly for advice, or a free initial appraisal.

Farm Diversification Could wind make your electricity for you?

Diversification and VAT As farmers continue searching for new, diverse income sources, the VAT position of any new enterprise needs thought, explains Ensors Chartered Accountants’ agricultural partner Graham Page. Many new diversified businesses will involve dealing with the public at consumer level rather than at business-to-business level. Any addition of VAT to products or services could result in either those products or services becoming outpriced. Alternatively, if VAT is absorbed by the diversified business, the financial returns reducing perhaps to the extent that the new business is not viable. This is a typical problem for diversified rural businesses. VAT planning is key to a successful outcome. VAT-registered farmers don’t

always appreciate that VAT will apply to all trade activities conducted by that business. For example, a farming partnership that chooses to start a holiday letting business will have to charge VAT for that activity from the outset. The advantage is that it allows full VAT recovery of costs incurred in setting up a business. It is commonplace for new activities to be separated from the farming business to circumvent the need for VAT registration for the enterprise, providing its turnover remains below £85,000pa. It is vital, however, to avoid any kind of artificial separation of the new activity from the existing VAT-registered business. This will extend to a different ownership and constitution, different bank accounts, ideally different premises and minimal shared facilities. FG

Producing off-grid electricity from wind can be an ideal power source in rural locations, to contribute to your power requirements or offset consumption from the grid. As UK farmers face increasing challenges, utilising wind power could help cut costs long term and reduce environmental impacts. You can find your location’s average wind speed per year at various heights, using a wind speed database (e.g., www. rensmart.com/Maps). Ideally 5.5 metres/second (m/s) or above at 10m will be required for a wind turbine to be viable. Variations can occur depending on elevation of the land. With an average wind speed of 5.5m/s, the Airforce1 wind turbine could produce an estimated 1,100kwh of electricity over 12 months on a clean air site, or more if the wind speed is higher, increasing exponentially. It is possible to utilise multiple wind turbines. FuturEnergy has been manufacturing the Made

in Britain, Airforce1 1kw micro wind turbine for over 15 years. It aimed to manufacture a robust small wind turbine that would generate enough power to make a difference. The new Airforce Control, supplied with the 24V or 48V wind turbine, automatically protects the turbine in strong wind conditions, providing battery charging control, whilst monitoring wind speed and power generation. Customers can connect to their turbine anywhere in the world using the free iPhone/Android app, check on its power output and even start/stop the turbine. FG

When nothing is sure, everything is possible…

Planning. Design. Property.

Diversification is not purely survival, but a challenge. Everything is possible.

Farm Diversification three categories to consider: The resigned pragmatist – farming is a way of life. Change will only result as a matter of necessity rather than entrepreneurial drive • The focused specialist – economics of scale is key to the farming business. This performance is very good but very narrowly focused. Diversification is considered a side issue • The opportunist – entrepreneurs of the agricultural industry with a wider vision for opportunity. In reviewing current business, it is worth determining eventual goals and ambitions. There will be some situations where diversification is not possible, however in most cases the need or opportunity for progress and evolution of the business must be continually assessed. Existing skills and hobbies are always a good starting point. Feasibility depends on a range of issues – location, market research, profitability, cash flow, capital, funding, staffing and the effect on the farm. It is wise to assess each issue impartially and thoroughly and beneficial to take expert advice before proceeding too far. Gaining planning permission in the countryside is not easy but the right advice is often key to a successful outcome. FG

Diversification: Where to begin As diversification becomes increasingly important to rural businesses, James Whilding, managing director of Acorus Rural Property Services Ltd, offers advice on potential barriers and how to get started. “They always say time changes everything, but you actually have to change them yourself” (Andy Warhol). We have certainly been party to much change in recent years, mainly brought about by external influences. Nevertheless, with fluctuations in farm incomes, many rural businesses are having to change in order to generate an additional source of income.

Diversification is nothing new of course; more than 60% of farmers have already ventured into alternative enterprises. The introduction of various permitted development rights over the last eight years has certainly contributed to this statistic.

Development has typically been in areas of strong economic growth. Despite such popularity, many schemes have stalled due to restrictions hampering development, the key culprits being planning, feasibility, the lack of market knowledge, and in some cases a reluctance around risk is a particular problem. The role of a farmer has changed considerably in the past 35 years. However, there is scope for further change. In considering farmer behaviour there are

Start your glamping business on the best footing We’ve all learned to re-evaluate after the pandemic, and it’s likely you’re taking stock of your needs as well. Farming isn’t what it used to be and making sure everything is steady can be challenging. What seemed to be guaranteed before just isn’t anymore, and everyone has had to adjust their sails. But, in the wake of decreased overseas travel and increased apprehension about going abroad, the glamping business has been booming. There’s never been a better time to diversify in this area, according to glamping franchise Wigwam Holidays. If you’re in the market to diversify your farm and increase your monthly revenue, Wigwam Holidays, which has over 30 years of experience, offers support and

experience to help farmers make the most of their investment. Glamping is one of the most cost effective and financially rewarding possibilities for farm diversification, but starting a new business takes a lot of work. Entering into the challenge with a wealth of knowledge behind you can make it a lot easier. Wigwam can assist with everything from planning your site layout, to running your website and advertising to customers – to ensure you enter the holiday business on the best possible footing.

FARMING AND TREES GO HAND IN HAND Can trees really help you diversify your farm without you having to change the way you farm and your way of life? Yes. A woodland could help you more easily diversify your farm business without the need for you to change your main farming activities. With the recent launch of the new England Woodland Creation Offer, there has never been so much funding available or so much to be gained from planting trees: • Capital grant payments designed to cover 100% of planting costs. • Supplementary payments for public benefits provided by your scheme. • Woodland generated carbon income. • Increased amenity and overall value of your farm. • Sheltering livestock. • Income from the timber and fuel for your home. • Enhance or create recreational and sporting activities. • Wildlife habitat enhancement. • Flood alleviation both on the farm and the locality.

A typical new woodland planting with a diverse species range

Trees can thrive on that area of your land that just won’t grow a decent crop or has never provided a reasonable bite for livestock. This is the area that you can convert from lost leader to winner to bring in that extra bit of income and value.

CARBON – OPEN SESAME? Farmers can benefit from the woodland carbon market by growing a woodland. A win-win as the

trees are planted for you, paid for by someone else, but you get to reap all the benefits including the timber income. Tilhill has been planning, creating, and planting woodlands on farms for years. We are in a unique position to help you secure carbon funding and planting grants and guide you through the process of planting trees on your farm. Our carbonoffsetting arm, CarbonStore, unites farmers with land suitable for tree planting with companies keen to help offset their carbon emissions. It really is an exciting time to be a farmer with land that can support trees, there really is no better time to plant trees than today, and there really has been no better time to gain an income from tree planting on land that’s not currently realising its true potential.

Trees can complement and enhance your livelihood, your farm, your family, and your next generation without altering your business. For further information please contact: Simon Marrington on 07825 193278. Email: simon.marrington@tilhill.com

Mud control slabs ‘perfect for diversification projects’ If you’re looking for an almost instant and moveable hardstanding for almost any application, Mudcontrol Ltd says its heavy-duty recycled plastic slabs can offer the solution. WeMudcontrol Ltd was established in the UK in 2017, supplying high quality, heavy duty 100% recycled plastic products. The small team of Kerry and James at Mudcontrol concentrates on providing great customer service as well as great products, with no minimum order – no order is too big or too small. “Our Facebook community is very active, with customers past and present sending us photos, videos and stories of their Mudcontrol projects,” says James. “We have continuous 5* reviews, and a huge proportion of our business is repeat custom. “While we specialise in the revolutionary Mudcontrol slabs which have revolutionised mud control in the UK, and are now sold in over 40 countries worldwide, we also supply 100% recycled plastic fencing and associated products from the same manufacturer. “The fencing products are strong and reliable, they won’t rot and are

not palatable, so livestock usually leave them alone, and they won’t ever need painting or treating. They can be nailed, stapled, screwed into, sawn and installed (by machine or by hand) in the same way a wooden post can, but with no maintenance required, ever.” All products have a solid 20-year manufacturer's warranty. James adds: "Mudcontrol slabs are used to arrest mud in a huge selection of applications – if you need instant, DIY, porous, removable, reusable hardstanding for anything from a pygmy goat to a bull elephant – we can help. They require minimal or no ground preparation (they are the sub-base and base in one, you just need to remove any stones, hard lumps, or voids before laying them straight onto the mud/soil/

grass, and then topping them with sand, wood chip or bedding if it's for animal use). You can drive vehicles and machinery of up to 60 tonnes over the slabs. They can be installed on any ground, and are as permanent or temporary as you need; a perfect alternative to concrete, without burying your investment.” The slabs are perfect for diversification, allowing an almost instant and moveable hardstanding

for almost any application, the company says. For pathways, tracks, roads, loafing areas, feed areas, 'pony patios', gateways, parking, storage, or wherever mud is a problem – Mudcontrol offers a solution.

Opportunities to set up a distillery or microbrewery •

If you are looking to start a new diversification project, Brew-School owner Chris Horne says farmers have a built-in advantage when it comes to brewing and distilling businesses. Brew-School in Bakewell has been running brewing and distilling courses for over seven years; and acknowledges that farmers have a big head-start in the race to setting up a successful brewing or distillery business. Chris Horne, owner and director of Brew-School, maintains that farmers have a number of the essential qualities which can contribute to the

start-up of a successful brewing or distilling business. For example: • Many farms have redundant commercial buildings that can make an ideal home for a brewery, particularly as many of them have ample eaves height to facilitate the accommodation of tall brewing vessels or distilling columns

Farmers are comfortable in dealing with machinery and food grade equipment used in both brewing and distilling • Agricultural farms can add massively to the end value of their crop produce through the brewing and distilling process of grain and cereals • Breweries and distilleries can turn a farm into a popular visitor destination or add to existing visitor attractions, by bringing in customers to the farm through a tap room/shop or visitor centre • Farmers start with a good understanding of the food supply business, which is an essential part of operating a commercial brewery or distillery. Mr Horne comments: “Over the years we have met many farmers or owners of farms that have successfully branched out into brewing or distilling as part of their farm diversification plans.” Previous customers include: Blonde Brothers Brewery, Aldwark Artisan Ales, and Tipple Mill Distillery.

Brew-School assumes no previous brewing or distilling knowledge, but says its courses can up-skill you in a very short time, as well as introducing you to a whole host of industry experts who enable you to formulate your business plan and put it into practice. It offers a variety of start-up brewing, distilling, cider making and winemaking courses for new entrants into these industries. For information contact BrewSchool via www.brew-school.com. FG

FARMERS GUIDE 25 YEARS AGO Under the heading ’Use it or Lose it?’ the editorial page in the October 1996 Farmers Guide commented on the reported closure of Shuttleworth Agricultural College, suggesting that this closure could herald further losses in the provision of agricultural education. Ernest Cozens noted in his Out and About column that the magazine circulation had been widened to include Kent, Hampshire Surrey and Sussex, and he questioned whether it was true that, in a book he was reading on the history of Norfolk, the first horse drawn plough was made by Ransomes in Norwich before the company moved to Ipswich. (By the way, it was true). Renault Agriculture celebrated the launch of its second UK retail dealership at Brockford in Suffolk with an open evening. Norfolk Farm Machinery Club had celebrated its 50th anniversary at its biennial

autumn cultivations demonstration, and Drake & Fletcher demonstrated tackle worth more than £1m at its tillage demonstration in Kent. It was reported that a Hertfordshire farmer had bought the 100,000th European-built John Deere combine harvester; the first one was made in Germany in 1963. A special feature on grain storage reported that UK farmers were on course for a record harvest, despite recent wet weather. The Farmers Guide noted that a Norfolk farmer’s new concrete crop drying floor had brought a 20% reduction in drying costs, and the fully automatic unique ‘Trayler’ mobile grain drier had worked successfully in Great Britain and Ireland over several difficult harvests. As well as cereal crops, the machine had dried rape, linseed, peas and beans. It was reported that a British-built crop stirrer system had been successful in turning bulk stores into low-cost batch dryers, and the largest ship to enter Boston port for almost a decade had loaded 4,200t of grain for southern Spain. John Hodge noted that Case had purchased the Austrian tractor maker Steyr, and that Hardi had presented a mounted sprayer to Otley College in Suffolk for use with students and trial plots on the

next-door Felix Cobbold Agricultural Trust farm. Armer Machinery had launched its sand machine which used a bed of fluidised sand to remove stones, clods and other foreign material from harvested potatoes, carrots, red beet and other root crops. There were two models, the larger of which cost about £160,000 and had an output of up to 125t/hour. A combine harvester special feature noted that drivers in the Massey Ferguson 30/40 series machines – which had an all-new cab with a full length, full width curved glass screen – would have their best ever view of the cutter bar. New multipoint connectors were said to halve the time taken to attach the cutter bar on the Claas Lexion for the 1977 harvest, and the latest Deutz-Fahr Topliner combines had a new balance system to level the machine when working across slopes on gradients of up to 1:5. Features for the new John Deere 2000 series combines included more powerful engines, improved transmissions, stronger concaves and the optional Hillmaster slope levelling system. The top of the range 270hp John Deere 2266, with a 25ft cut header and straw chopper, had a £169,000 price tag. FG

The Crawley 75 tractor 12:41

Around 200 Crawley 75 tractors were marketed in the UK in the late 1950s by Crawley Metal Productions at Crawley in West Sussex, and later at East Preston near Littlehampton. Developed in the UK from an American design, there was a choice of three engine types for the basic Crawley 75 tractor, which was built in Holland and modified in the UK by Crawley Metal Productions. When the tractor was introduced to British growers in 1958, there was the option of an 8hp air-cooled JAP petrol engine or vaporising oil engine or a 7hp Petter air-cooled diesel engine. The spark ignition engines had a fuel consumption of two gallons and the Petter used about 1.5 gallons in a 10-hour day. The Crawley 75 had an automatic centrifugal clutch, three forward gears and one in reverse,

independent rear wheel brakes, a central power take-off shaft and a universal drawbar. The draft control hydraulic system had a belt driven oil pump. The tractor had a 32in wheel track and, by reversing one or both wheels on their hubs, the track could be set at 36, 40, 44 or 48in spacings. Front wheel weights, a rear power take-off and a foot throttle were included in the list of optional extras. The 1958 price list included the Crawley 75 with a petrol or vaporising oil engine for £280 and the diesel model was £298. Potential buyers were tempted with the offer of two free services during the first 18 months of its life. Crawley Metal Productions advertised the tractor as the first model of its size on the UK market and was

The Crawley 75 tractor was designed in America and made in Holland in the late 1950s.

Cousins Contour Rolls™

strong enough to do heavy duty work around the farm. It was suggested that every farm should have a Crawley 75 as it could do virtually every job including ploughing, cultivating, drilling, fertiliser spreading and spraying. At hay time, it could be used with a mid-mounted mower. FG

Models available from 6.3m to 18.4m working widths, with up to 26” diameter rings. Why compromise when Cousins have rolls for all widths & conditions?

There was no doubt that the lot creating most interest on the viewing day was this 1949 Massey Harris 21 combine, powered by a Chrysler flathead straight-6 engine. The combine had only had two owners from new and Dick bought it through a Cheffins sale after it was entered by its original owner from Pebmarsh, Essex. It remained in superb original condition and full working order and was used by the Wombwells each year to bring in the last acre of harvest. On Firestone 9-24 drive tyres and Good Year 6.00-16 rears, and with its original registration and V5C documents, it attracted 27 bids and eventually sold for £10,750 to a buyer from Scotland.

Classic and vintage machines attract high bids at online sale A timed online auction of mainly vintage machinery and parts from the Wombwell Collection achieved some well-deserved high prices. David Williams reports. The sale was organised by Cheffins on behalf of the family of the late Dick Wombwell who lived at Rectory Farm, Ickleton until he passed away in 2019. The collection was built up over a period of approximately 40 years, and many machines were used alongside more modern machinery on the farm when time allowed. Several vintage tractors remain on the farm, having been owned from new or since Dick’s childhood, and form the core of a smaller collection. Cheffins director and auctioneer Oliver Godfrey commented: “The Wombwell Sale comprised a compact and eclectic mix of vintage tractors,

machinery and implements. We saw a huge amount of interest ahead of the auction, and the prices achieved, particularly in the case of the combine, go to show that the market for these earlier vintage machines is very much alive and well. We had bidders join the sale online from all four corners of the UK, keen to invest in vintage machinery, both from a financial point of view but also wanting machines that they could enjoy at the weekend. The Wombwell family are long-standing clients of Cheffins, and we were delighted to have had the opportunity to offer this important collection to the market.” FG

One of the star lots on offer was this 1947 Fordson Major E27N with a factory-fitted Perkins P6 diesel engine. In superb condition it also had an electric pack including lighting, a hydraulic linkage pack and a belt pulley. The transmission was a high-speed, and it was on 6.00-19 Good Year diamond front tyres and 12.4-11/36 Samson and Alliance rears. Said to start ‘on the button’ it came with its V5C registration documents and sold for £9,000.

This 1944 Fordson Model N also came with its V5C documentation. It was in running order and in very good, original condition, and was fitted with a rear PTO. It had Supreme 6.00x19 front tyres and Firestone 13x28 rears, and it achieved a winning bid of £2,900.

A Ransomes, Sims & Jefferies 54in tractor threshing machine on steel wheels and with drive belts needed attention but appeared in reasonable order. An early model and carrying the serial number plate 500013, it sold for £500. The elevator pictured alongside was powered by a Lister petrol engine and carried a supplier’s plate stating Curtis & Horn Ltd, Aylesbury and Oxford. It was a good buy at £100.

This 1940s workshop compressor with a JAP petrol engine was in very tidy condition and sold for £20.

There were many bundles of 10 hessi an sacks available for bids. They carrie d printed ‘Simpsons’ branding and sold for £10–£50 per bundle.

This Howard Bantam Rotavator with an unusual grass cutter bar attachmen t was in very good, original condition and sold for £140 after attracting 11 bids.

This Land Rover Series 1, 109in was expected to sell well, and it didn’t disappoint. It had its original number plate and came with V5C documentation. It was purchased as an abandoned restoration project by Dick Wombwell and then restored over several years inside and out to match its original factory finish. Displaying only 31,000, miles it sold for £16,250.

This Ferguson TE Continental had a 4-cyl petrol/paraffin engine and had been purchased by Dick from the previous owner in Ickleton. The tractor was very tidy but had been dry stored for the past 20 years and needed two new rear tyres. It sold for £2,300.

This McCormick-Deering WD40 had a 4-cyl diesel main power unit and a smaller petrol engine for starting. Thought to be an early production version, it was purchased by Dick from a Cheffins sale in the 1980s. It was restored at Rectory Farm, at which time the original rear spade-lug wheels were replaced by more convenient pneumatics. The rear tyres were Good Year 16.9/14-34, and the fronts were 7.50-18s. Competitive bidding with 45 bids pushed the final price to £8,600 – well above the pre-sale £4,000–£6,000 estimate.

A winning bid of £500 secured this heavy Ransomes Hexatrac 6f conventional plough.

Used by Dick for ploughing matches, and pulled behind the Fordson E27N, this Ransomes, Sims and Jefferies RSLD 2f trailed plough was very tidy and made £320.

A second Land Rover offered was this 1980s ex NATO 110 which had served in Bosnia and Serbia. It had been converted to run on low ground pressure tyres and carried a Team sprayer in the rear load bed. Offered without documentation, it sold for £2,500.

These two classic tractors were ‘included’ lots. Furthest from the camera – this Fordson Super Dexta New Performance 3-cyl diesel was manufactured in approximately 1963 and had been owned by a local enthusiast and used on his smallholding for the past 20 years. It carried its original Peterborough Motors Ltd dealer plate and came with a roll bar. In good working order and tidy condition, it made £2,900. The Ferguson TEF-20 4-cyl diesel was also very tidy and came from a nearby smallholding, where it had worked for the past 10 years mainly to pull a set of gang mowers and for hay turning. New wings, plus a front cowl and grille had been fitted. The tyres were Victoria 11.2-28 and Dunlop 10-28 rears, and Kelly 4.00-19 fronts which were perished. Manufactured in the final year of grey Ferguson production, it achieved a winning bid of £1,800.

This Suffolk-manufactured Smyth drill was very tidy and had been stored under cover. It failed to meet its reserve. The Bamford Patent Grinding Mill alongside was in tidy condition and sold for £220.

Several new reels of sisal baler twine made £30.

An elderly steel, three-point linkage mounted, belt pulley driven saw bench needed attention but was a good buy at £25.

This Ransomes 6f trailed plough had er one mouldboard missing and anoth damaged, but sold for £140.

A quantity of Fordson spares including a petrol/paraffin fuel tank, headlights, a belt pulley and a radiator blind attracted competitive bidding and made £440.

Two Massey Ferguson hydraulic tipping trailers were both in need of new floors but had working hydraulics. The 579 mid-axle model nearest the camera failed to meet its reserve, but the 717 rear-axle version made £160.

Pictured with the combine at the preview day are members of the Wombwell family (l-r): Dick’s grandsons James and William with their father Peter.

Robin Bunning passes away aged 79

Robin George Bunning, of G. T. Bunning & Sons Ltd, passed away peacefully at home on 29th June with his family by his side. He was a much-loved husband, dad, grandad, brother, uncle and ‘The Boss’. Having been diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer in November/December 2020, and after two cycles of chemotherapy, Robin was cared for at home with only a few short spells in hospital.

Born in Gressenhall on 14th July 1942, he was the eldest son of George and Ethel Bunning. He spent his childhood in the village attending the local schools, then worked on a farm in the village. In 1962 he joined the Royal Marines, serving seven years and seeing active service in Aden and Singapore. He married Doreen at Gressenhall Church in 1967 and spent two years stationed at Lympstone, Devon. In 1969, the couple returned to Gressenhall

and Robin joined his father and brothers in the family business, G. T. Bunning & Sons Ltd. At that time, they were shoeing horses and doing general repairs, but over the years progressed to manufacturing agricultural trailers, farm buildings, manure spreaders and pallet inverters. Robin was very involved with the development of the new factory and was offering advice and ideas in the days before his death. Now in the final stages of development, he said it took him

52 years to get that! Robin was a keen fisherman and enjoyed trips to Scotland, Wales and Yorkshire salmon fishing. He was chairman of the local Roosting Hills Trout Fishery for many years. The funeral was held at Gressenhall Church on 15th July with limited numbers because of Covid. However, Robin was given one final tour of the Bunning factory and premises with the workforce applauding him, then all walking behind the cortege to the church.

Claas apprentices look to the future

Claas dealers from throughout the north of England, Scotland and Ireland have enrolled 16 new apprentices onto the Claas Agricultural Apprenticeship scheme run at SRUC Barony. Despite the difficulties of the past 18 months and the impact on education, the new 2021 apprentice cohort is one of the largest intakes of students since Claas first introduced the opportunity in 2008. Ahead of starting their course, the new students recently attended an induction day at Barony. Over the first three years of their apprenticeship, students will attend the Barony campus on a block-release basis, spending a total of 36 weeks at the college. During this time, they will be given comprehensive training in the wide range of technical skills a service

engineer needs to look after today’s highly advanced agricultural machinery. When not at college, the students will spend time at their sponsoring dealership, where they will be mentored and supported as they put their new-found skills to the test. In addition, they will also be invited to the Claas Academy at Saxham for specific Claas product training, prior to undertaking further advanced technical and industry training in their final fourth year. The completion of their apprenticeship will, however, be just the start of their training with Claas. Having qualified, working at their Claas UK dealership, they will then have access to ongoing training and development, and ultimately the opportunity to move into more specialised or management roles within their dealership or Claas UK.
