Fertiliser matters Fertiliser prices have been somewhat flat for the past few months, as quiet markets no longer seem to put any downward pressure on prices due to a continuation of high energy costs and tighter supplies, writes Openfield fertiliser manager Lucy Hassall. Urea has been the exception, partly due to the return of China’s urea export programme. China, which would usually export around five million tonnes per Lucy Hassall, Openfield’s year, was absent fertiliser manager. from the export market last year to protect domestic pricing and supply. An increase in exports this summer resulted in improved global supplies, and we saw urea prices start to soften. Unfortunately, this didn’t last for long with large Indian demand and Europe starting to make purchases again at the end of October, leading to firmer global pricing. The EU not only has significant tariffs on Russian fertiliser imports from this year, it also has CBAM coming in from January 2026. This may affect trade flows and, with increased activity, it’s likely our prices will be firmer. FG

Claas’ Trevor Tyrrell (left) and Marcus Schulze-Duello (right), with Owen Doran of Leinster Farm Machines.

Claas dealer excellence The high level of service, support and overall excellence of performance achieved by Claas dealerships throughout the UK and Ireland was recognised at a recent Claas Dealer Council Meeting held at Saxham. A total of eight dealerships received recognition, with the overall Claas UK ‘Dealer of the Year’ Award being presented to Leinster Farm Machines, based in Duleek, Co Meath in Ireland. Three family dealerships, Rickerby, Gordons and Olivers, were awarded Claas UK Platinum ‘Dealer Excellence’ awards, with Manns, Claas Western, Erwin, Kellys and Leinster Farm Machines all awarded Gold ‘Dealer Excellence’ awards. The award of the overall ‘Dealer of the Year’ award to Leinster Farm Machines reflects their overall performance and assessment by Claas UK in terms of their overall market share, financial benchmarking, ProfitBuilder financial performance and most importantly the assessments from customer surveys.

A new online course – ‘Farmer-friendly Finance’ – has been launched by the Royal Agricultural University (RAU) to help farmers to understand, and cope with, the financial requirements of the business. Teresa North, executive transformation director at the RAU, explained: “We know that mental health is a big issue for farmers and some of that stress stems from dealing with the financial planning involved in running a farm. This new course is aimed at

farmers who are keen to boost their confidence in dealing with financial planning and monitoring to improve their business strategy and help them with discussions with advisors.” The University continues to offer other CPD courses in the agriculture and real estate and land management sectors. The courses, which are designed and delivered by experts in the field, are offered both online and face-to-face on the University’s historic

Cirencester campus. The 'Farmer-friendly Finance' course will cover the basics – from gross margins, cash flow, and how to construct them, right up to more complicated tasks like debt level management, risk management, and also putting business plans and tenancy applications together.

NEWS IN BRIEF Farmland values reflect uncertainty in sector The farmland market is seeing land values slow after reaching record highs. The latest Carter Jonas Farmland Market Update shows an increasing polarisation in values between land and farm sales in its third-quarter figures. Well-located commercial farms with competing buyers are still attracting aboveguide bids, but for poorer ground or isolated units, sales

are proving slow and not generating as much interest. The decline in average arable land values accelerated to 1.5%, following a slightly more modest decline of 1.1% in the second quarter of 2025 (Q2). Similarly, average pasture values declined by 1.2% in Q3, a steeper fall than was recorded in the previous quarter. This is the first time

land values have declined year on year since Q4 2020. Sophie Davidson, research associate at Carter Jonas, said: “Speculation that the autumn budget (scheduled for 26th November) will bring further setbacks has prompted some to adopt a ‘waitand-see’ approach as they await further clarity on the government’s approach to tax and agricultural policy.”

Rumenco launches new silage additive Rumenco has launched NovaSile Cool and Stable (NovaSile CS), a new silage additive designed to work across all silage types including grass, maize, wholecrop and legumes. “NovaSile CS contains two fast-acting lactic acid bacteria that reduce the pH level of a clamp or bale quickly, to protect its nutrient value and prevent against yeast and mould

development that can cause silage to heat,” explains Rumenco’s Dr Alison Bond. NovaSile CS also contains an acetic acid-producing bacteria that improves aerobic stability once silage is exposed to oxygen. Having two independent bacteria working in harmony enables NovaSile CS to keep ensiled forage cool and improve dry matter retention when the clamp is opened.

With silage quality and quantity a concern in some parts of the UK, and with feed stocks down for many, 2026 will be a crucial year to optimise forage production. With its ability to improve silage quality, speed up fermentation and provide a higher dry matter and nutrient rich forage, NovaSile CS could be an important solution for many livestock farms next year.

NAAC reminds ag industry to stay safe

In response to 19 fatalities within farming since 1st April 2025, the National Association of Agricultural Contractors (NAAC) has released highimpact visual imagery as part of its existing safety campaign. The NAAC comments: “We need the entire sector

to work together and remind each other that we are all vital to our family, friends and businesses. No-one goes out in the morning expecting an incident to happen, yet we go about farming thinking it won’t happen to us. But it happens to someone – 19 times since 1st April this year. Whilst we shouldn’t worry unduly about safety, we must build a culture where we talk about it, think about it constructively, discuss it with our teams and take practical, preventative action.” The NAAC asks that

agricultural contractors, farmers and the wider industry come together to use the stickers as a visual reminder anywhere that will prompt action to stay safe. This might be a reminder to wear a helmet when riding a quad bike, making sure PTO guards are always in place or switching off a machine before clearing a blockage. To obtain free stickers please see: www.naac.co.uk/ naac-safety-campaign/ where you will also find information on how to further support this vital campaign.

New dealer for McCormick Wiltshire-based machinery dealership Westbrook Agri Ltd has become an official McCormick dealer in the South West, after signing an agreement with Argo Tractors GB. Lewis Johnson, director of Westbrook Agri Ltd, said that this partnership will strengthen the company’s ability to offer a true ‘one-stop shop’ for farmers who now have a tractor range to consider, alongside the trailers, diggers and low loaders also on offer. “Along with the responsibility of sales of the McCormick range of tractors, we are also offering full after-sales support to all our McCormick customers, and thanks to our agricultural engineer, we can respond to any repair query at any time, seven days a week,” he added. Richard Haines, commercial director of Argo Tractors GB, said: “We are delighted that Westbrook Agri Ltd has joined the McCormick team, thus extending our commercial footprint into Wiltshire. Lewis is leading an ambitious operation that is keen to grow and innovate, mirroring Argo Tractors GB’s wider vision for boosting our sales and aftersales business throughout Great Britain.”

All-Wales bluetongue restricted zone announced The Welsh government recently announced that an allWales Restricted Zone (RZ) for bluetongue serotype 3 (BTV3) will be introduced from 10th November. To date, 11 cases of BTV-3 have been confirmed in Wales – four in Powys and seven in the Temporary Control Zone, located in Monmouthshire. It is likely the number of bluetongue cases will increase as the surveillance continues, the Welsh Government said. The move to introduce the all-Wales Restricted Zone (RZ) will replace the existing Temporary Control Zone with a single national approach. The restricted zone relates to BTV-3 only. Controls may need to be introduced for positive cases of new bluetongue serotypes, should these emerge in the future.

Positive start to campaign in British Sugar’s 100th year As British Sugar celebrates 100 years since the opening of two of its factories, Sarah Kidby visited the Bury St Edmunds site in early October to find out how crop is looking this year, and how the sector has changed in the past century. Speaking in early October, shortly after the Bury St Edmunds factory began accepting sugar beet, Nick Morris, head of supply chain – agriculture, said the season had got off to a good start, with low disease pressure followed by good yields and sugar content. Colder weather in January and February 2025, followed by an absence of rainfall meant much of the crop was drilled by the end of March – far earlier than the previous two years. “The seed went into good seedbed conditions and, for the first time that I can recall, it was a completely unbroken drilling window for most people,” Nick noted. At the time of Farmers Guide's visit, 350 growers had already begun their harvest campaign and delivered over half a million tonnes of beet to the factories, with the average sugar content being 17.7% – the best start Nick had seen in terms of quality for some time.

Future without Cruiser With the government denying the emergency authorisation request for Cruiser SB this year and uncertainty over whether it will ever be authorised again going forward, it was fortunate that there were “exceptionally low” levels of virus yellows in this year’s crop – as colder weather and frosts in January and February kept aphids at bay, Nick explained. Last year British Sugar was awarded £660,000 in government funding for gene editing research, but when it comes to the future of virus yellows control post-Cruiser, Nick added: “I think whether its virus yellows or any threat through crop protection it’ll always require a variety

of approaches to manage and control the impact, be it virus yellows or a different pest or disease. “IPM Is key and we’re very supportive of its principles as a core, but also its application through BBRO, which is our science-led body which investigates control approaches.” On-farm hygiene is essential, especially for sugar beet. “Removing inoculum from the farmed environment where we have groundkeepers from one crop into the next, on sugar beet spoil heaps removing those is key.” Additionally, he emphasised the importance of protecting beneficials and the part they play in managing virus yellows in the crop. “Classical breeding for virus yellows is going from strength to strength,” Nick added. There are now two varieties with tolerance on the Recommended List – ST Tweed from Strube and Maruscha from KWS. Whilst the threat can never be eliminated, a lot of the risk can be mitigated.

100 years When the sugar beet sector was first born, the crop was a multi-germ seed and each plant had to be manually singled, which was back-breaking work. “The introduction of mono-germ seed was a phenomenal technological advancement,” Nick noted. Breeding and genetics have been another significant change – rhizomania was a real threat to the industry in the late 90s, but all varieties have been rhizomania tolerant for 20 years. Similarly, quite a significant part of the crop grown is beet cyst nematode tolerant. Fungicides have also made a step change improvement in yields, for all crops, not just sugar beet. Mechanisation has brought substantial changes in efficiency, for the factories as well as for growers. Now, modern harvesters allow growers to harvest 10–15ha of beet per day, while at British Sugar, its four remaining factories produce the same amount of sugar as 18 factories produced in the mid-70s. The Bury factory processes more sugar beet in one hour than the site processed in an entire day in 1925.

Nick Morris, British Sugar.

Innovations Nick says innovation is at the heart of British Sugar’s success story. Wissington has a bioethanol plant, as well as using chromatography to separate sugar compounds and produce pharmaceutical products and animal feed. British Sugar also produces enough exported electricity to power a city the size of Peterborough. Additionally, it creates co-products out of what might otherwise be considered waste – soil that comes in on the beet is used to make a quality top soil product, and lime used in the sugar production process is used to make LimeX. “Phenomenal” reductions in energy, waste, water and subsequently emissions have been achieved at the factories. Three new evaporators installed at the Bury factory will reduce CO2 by 20,000 tonnes a year, whilst investment in a steam drying facility at Wissington, commissioned for the 2026/27 campaign, will reduce emissions at the site by 50,000t/year. Combined with Wissington’s own evaporator project a couple of years ago this will reduce its emissions by a quarter. Whilst these large investments may be the most visually impressive, British Sugar also invests in its people, including those outside the gates, Nick said. The Lifted and Delivered app allows the supply chain to effectively share data. British Sugar also installed a digital map of overhead power lines to improve safety during harvesting. Nick concluded by wishing growers a safe and successful campaign, urging people to take heed of the hazards and look after themselves. FG Beet being delivered to the Bury factory in early October.

Planning ahead: Spring cropping variety Hutchinsons national seeds manager David Bouch gives his views on some of the spring cropping options available.

HOME-GROWN PROTEIN IS WRITTEN IN THE STARS SCAN HERE FOR INFO

KETU

SPRING BEAN

npz-uk.com

When considering variety options for spring 2026, the end market will dictate the preferred variety in almost all the spring quality cereals. With a very kind autumn, fields will be covered in winter wheats and oilseed rape as we head into Christmas, leaving lower planned spring hectarages than we have seen in the last two years, rather than unplanned ‘catching up’ spring cropping. In terms of variety choices there is not much change to report, and many options remain the same as they have done for last year.

Spring barley If contracts are in place and quality parameters have been met over several years, there is no reason not to continue growing spring barley, although prices remain steady around the £35–£40/tonne premium. Spring barley still offers the best option for rotational suppression of grass weeds such as blackgrass, ryegrass and brome, whereas spring wheat will not offer the same level of competitiveness in the field. With regards to variety choices, Laureate remains the undoubted number one in the marketplace, last year taking around 45% of the total market share. It remains the highest yielding variety offering dual use,

brewing and distilling. None of the newcomers offer much more in terms of a step up in yields or quality, so there is very little rationale to change. Skyway offers brewing ability but its yields have dropped behind Laureate. SY Tennyson is more akin to Laureate with its dual-purpose credentials whilst offering dual purpose end markets, but does not seem to have caught the attention of the market. RGT Planet has slipped further as the newer options gain a greater share of the market. However, it will still have support from growers who have seen very consistent performance over the years. LG Diablo’s market share has declined as it no longer competes on yields. Several varieties are under test for malting quality, these include LG Aquarius, Nos Gambit, Nos Munron and Olsen; but there remains uncertainty over quality. Belter has generated interest; it offers dual use markets, is slightly higher yielding than Laureate along with improved disease resistance. Feed varieties Westminster and Kelim still sell well for this market. Feed barleys have their place if there is a physical need for straw, but arguably the malting varieties offer better yields, with the chance of

Spring wheat In the spring wheat sector, Mulika, KWS Harsum and KWS Ladum are the Group 1 offer, with the former now under significant yield disadvantage. KWS Ladum has no major disease weaknesses, with high resistance to mildew, brown rust and Septoria tritici. It will be a major consideration for next spring. KWS Harsum has OWBM resistance. KWS Cochise and, to a lesser extent, KWS Chilham provide alternatives in the group 2 sector, which is little changed. KWS Alicium has the best yield. WPB Escape has the largest market share with KWS Fixum since its arrival within the sector. It is a relatively late-maturing variety, which will be a limitation to some. Again, it appears that KWS Fixum has no major disease weaknesses, with high resistance to yellow rust, mildew and brown rust. Everlong being highest yielding at 107 – Group 4.

Spring oats Spring oat variety choice is chiefly set by the market; WPB Isabel remains the

There is very little change in the offer for pulses with regards to new varieties. Spring beans will again be dominated by Lynx whilst Genius remains the highest yielding option on the Descriptive List. Yukon has the best mildew resistance and is the earliest maturing. New options don’t compete with Genius for pure yield. Synergy is a new low-vicine and low-convicine variety (LVC) and is higher yielding than the other two LVC varieties, Futura and Victus. Concerto (115%) and Batist (113%), lead the yellow pea sector. Carrington holds on as the top yielding blue pea. Bluetime will again be popular, and Butterfly is new and again showing the strength in depth of the NPZ UK portfolio. Kameleon from Senova and NPZ UK’s Orchestra are the standout white peas, however availability is key. In the new pink pea category Flamingo from Cope Seeds & Grain offers specific end markets from uses for human consumption, to bird and pet feed. In terms of marrowfats; Vision offers the best downy mildew rating of 7 and with the highest yield in the sector, whilst Sakura has shown its consistency and support from the end user. The yield gap is circa 10%, but again as with anything that involves a quality premium, it will be decided by the end user.

In-house harvesting update for Townshend Farms

Suffolk-based Townshend Farms has updated its Vervaet Beet Eater 617 harvester for 2025.

We caught up with Townshend Farms, who recently upgraded their 2009 Vervaet Beet Eater 617 to a newer model, supplied by J Riley Beet Harvesters (UK) Ltd. Five years ago, Townshend Farms, Suffolk purchased a 2009 Vervaet Beet Eater 617 to bring their sugar beet harvesting in-house. This year the business upgraded to a 2014 model, with the new machine again supplied by J Riley Beet Harvesters (UK) Ltd. Townshend Farms looks after nearly 1,820ha

for multiple landowners growing crops of wheat, barley, oilseed rape, beans and sugar beet. Soil types vary considerably across numerous farms, although heavy clay loams are prevalent. A very wet season had inspired the original purchase, and rapid expansion made this year’s update a logical progression. “We were not unhappy with our contractor, but they can’t always be available for everyone,” explains Chris Townshend. “Autumn 2019 was really wet, and by January 2020 we still had over

60ha of beet in the ground. I started looking online at used harvesters, and Rileys had this machine advertised. We viewed it the next day, made a deal with Jeremy Riley, and drove it home a day later. A key part of the decision was having experienced operator Paul Baker available to drive it.” Chris adds: “Buying a 10-year-old machine felt strange, and had it been a tractor or combine I wouldn’t have even considered it. But we have Rileys carry out an appraisal every year, and if everything on this list is done there’s a very good chance the machine will get through the season without an issue. We do most of the maintenance ourselves, and with three full-time staff it’s really handy having it in the workshop during the winter months.” He points out that Vervaet harvesters are tried, tested and proven. “They’re not the cheapest, but I don’t mind paying a little extra as residual values are good. Rileys are specialists, the engineers are experienced and knowledgeable, workshop manager Harry Skeet is brilliant, and they’ve always had all the parts we’ve needed in stock. “This year the harvester needed more spending on it, so I enquired about an upgrade,” explains Chris. “Matt Carse at Rileys had a machine available which was a big step up but affordable, and would be ready to go having gone through their workshop. We’re really pleased with it.” FG

Fodder/energy beet as a spring-sown break crop Strube-RAGT UK explains why you should consider its well-proven fodder/energy beet varieties for 2026. Following another highly successful season with its varieties in 2025, Strube UK offers three wellproven varieties for the UK fodder and energy beet markets: Clemens, Degas and Gahan. The company’s MD, Richard Cogman, comments: “It is widely understood by livestock farmers and nutritionists that fodder beet offers a highly valuable constituent in ruminant diets. The highly digestible fibre in combination with the natural sugars in fodder beet provide an excellent feed that supports stable rumen pH and encourages dry matter intake for optimised daily liveweight gain or milk quality.” Dietary inclusion can easily exceed six months per year, from earlier harvested crops in October through to later-lifted and well-stored crops to March and beyond. In answer to this, Mr Cogman says: “Our varieties offer dry matter of around 19–21%, and, in combination with a seed rate of 1.1–1.2 units per hectare, well-managed crops can produce yields in excess of 100t/ha under UK conditions, equivalent to c.20t/ha dry matter or more. “All of this can be grown using no more than 120kg of applied nitrogen per hectare. When grown in combination with the use of organic manures, this rate can be reduced accordingly.” Having a spring-sown break crop may also bring benefits when planning farm rotation. Furthermore, fodder beet seed is treated with the same fungicide

and insecticide treatments as applied to UK sugar beet seed (with the exception of Tachigaren seed treatment which is not authorised for energy beet). When combined with the varieties’ seed quality and vigour, excellent and uniform emergence, high field establishment and rapid early canopy development to maximise interceptedsolar radiation that is essential for root yield development. For early planting and on colder soils, Strube UK’s newest Clemens variety, with the added benefit of seed priming advancement, may be the variety of choice; however both Degas and Gahan have consistently proven themselves over the past four years in the UK and Ireland, delivering exceptional performance, Mr Cogman says. All are

suitable for sowing from mid-March onwards and are low bolting. “As plant breeders, we are driven by continuous improvement and have two candidate varieties; Hubble and ST Olympe in UK national trialling with the objective to be available for 2027 planting,” Mr Cogman explains. Strube is renowned for delivering consistently high performing varieties combined with excellence in seed quality and, as the company transitions into the RAGT Group, Mr Cogman says: “More than ever we will be your supportive partner for varietal selection, delivering innovative agronomy to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow, and for sustainability.” FG

Could novel crops hold the key to domestic food security?

Rice trials within rewetted peatland in Ely, as at 31st July 2025.

The UK is renowned for the quality of its wheat – but with a warming climate, some new (and unexpected) cropping options could be on the horizon. The list of novel crops currently grown in the UK for specialist end markets is already fairly wide; although due to the limited number of contracts available, the cropping area is relatively small. Gross margins for these niche crops are, as a general rule, higher than for conventional crops, but demand is lower and they can also require significant and specialist management. The end market for novel crops ranges from livestock feeds, pharmaceuticals, energy, textiles, dietary supplements and plastics, while some also act as useful break crops. The more well-known novel cropping options include, among others: • Miscanthus • Parsley • Willow • Flax • Borage • Lupin • Linseed • Quinoa • Sunflower • Millet • Coriander • Soya bean. However, various trials are being undertaken in the UK to assess the potential of other cropping options not grown at scale in the UK before.

UK-grown rice Nine varieties of rice are currently being trialled in the degraded and rewetted peatlands of the Cambridgeshire Fens. The rice-growing trials are part of a wider project managed by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) to see if a variety of crops, including lettuce, bioenergy crops such as hybrid willow, and biodiversity options e.g. wet woodland, can be grown in waterlogged conditions in the UK, and investigating the benefits and trade-offs of different land uses of these sites. Nine varieties of cold-hardy rice, suited to the climate of the Cambridgeshire Fens, are being grown on the rewetted peat. The rice varieties selected come from around the world, including Brazil, Italy and the Philippines, and include Arborio (risotto), Dellmati (basmati) and

Koshihikari (sushi) rice. Thanks to a warmer-than-average summer, the rice crops have thrived and were harvested in October, although the initial results have yet to be released. Professor Richard Pywell, the lead UKCEH scientist on the project, said: “By its very nature, this is an experiment – and so it will be interesting to see how the traditional produce and novel crops like rice perform on the rewetted peat soils alongside other land use options such as biomass production and habitat for nature. We hope to be monitoring the site over the coming years to assess the long-term viability and resilience of these land use options to a changing climate.” Craig and Sarah-Jane Taylor farm the land near Ely where the trials are taking place. Sarah commented: “Our Fenland soils are some of the most productive in the country but are very susceptible to the changing climate and we need to adapt the crops we grow and how we grow them. “The trials are critical to understanding the practicalities of how we might go about largescale rewetting of peat, including its impact on yields and farm income, as well as the potential wider benefits for wildlife and flood prevention.”

Domestic chickpea production Chickpea is a nitrogen-fixing legume with the potential to reduce fertiliser use across the rotation, producing food-grade seeds rich in protein, fibre and minerals. With 60,000 tonnes currently imported into the UK each year, Niab says there should be a ready market for UKgrown chickpea provided that the quality and price are competitive, and that crops can slot into appropriate farming systems. However, with no UK breeding and selection, little is known about how to best grow chickpea in UK conditions. Running from 2023–2025, Niab’s Cicero

research project evaluated the potential for domestic chickpea production, and pushed forward the UK’s first chickpea breeding programme. The two-year DEFRA-funded feasibility study was led by Niab (agronomy, genetics, breeding) with supply chain partners Premium Crops (seed supply, agronomy, end-user markets), Place UK (grower and processor) and Viridian Seeds (genomics and biotechnology), and had three broad aims: 1. To identify which current varieties are best suited to UK conditions. 2. To understand how to grow these varieties more reliably and profitably. 3. To begin breeding work targeting improved UK adaptation. Variety trials and agronomy testing were carried out by Niab and specialist seed company Premium Crops, ranging from small plots up to field-scale evaluation. End-use quality assessments were then undertaken by Norfolk-based grower Place UK, who has been successfully growing chickpea crops to sell through its vertically-integrated food ingredients business since 2021. Across two cropping seasons (2023 and 2024), the study: • Established basic agronomy principles: weed control, sowing date, planting density, crop inputs, harvesting • Began to understand which traits are most important for building yield • Made crosses and kickstarted new breeding populations • Screened diverse chickpea material in the field to identify promising adaptation traits for new crossing and selection • Established new induced variants, and characterised these for key target genes, such as flowering time • Started to develop some of the underpinning technologies needed for future smart breeding approaches, including genome sequencing and predictive quality testing. The graph shows the yield and protein content of the various varieties within the replicated field trial, as at 2024. The conclusion of the project was that if new, earlier varieties can deliver good yield and quality from reliable mid-September harvest year-on-year, supported by end-user contracts, then UK-grown chickpea could become a viable combinable break crop and entry for subsequent winter cereals.

Risk of early potato dormancy break Potato agronomists in the UK are suggesting that the hot, dry summer could lead to an earlier-than-usual break in potato dormancy. The unknown factor, currently, is how well maleic hydrazide (MH) applications were taken up in those conditions, with good uptake helping to delay dormancy break. In contrast, poor uptake would exacerbate the challenge.

Careful monitoring “I haven’t yet seen any data on MH uptake, but I don’t see why it should have been horrendous – it was dry last year and we saw some quite good uptake,” says Simon Alexander, an independent agronomist based in Norfolk. “But with how hot it has been, in theory, we should see dormancy break earlier than normal, so careful monitoring of stores is going to be essential.” Fellow independent potato agronomist Simon Faulkner of SDF Agriculture agrees, saying the accumulation of day degrees has been much higher than in a ‘normal’ year. “I suspect dormancy break will be sooner rather than later, which we are already seeing a little bit,” he says. “That’s mostly tubers which have become green, so are ones closer to the surface and have accumulated more day degrees.” He, too, has not seen any results of MH uptake, although he stresses that testing is a valuable management tool, especially in this type of season. “If the tuber hasn’t taken up sufficient MH, it will be a candidate for earlier dormancy break, so there is some benefit of doing one or two samples.” Both agronomists expect the dormancy break to occur around two to four weeks earlier than in a typical year. “It’s difficult to give a concrete answer,” Mr Faulkner says. “It will depend on varieties, on MH uptake, on whether they are cold stored or processing, warmer stored potatoes. “Clearly, processing potatoes are at higher risk because you’re storing them at higher temperatures, whereas you will have more time with cold stores. Pulling temperatures down to 3°C clearly slows the process.”

Early-lifted potato risk Early lifted potatoes going into storage could also be at higher risk, Mr Alexander suggests. “Most growers start worrying about stores once they finish lifting, but it’s crucial those earlier lifted crops get due attention, particularly where lifted into ambient stores, as in that earlier part of the season we weren’t getting cooler nights, which will exacerbate the risk.” Mr Alexander UPL's potato technical specialist, Geoff Hailstone.

is less concerned about crops that appear to be sprouting in the field. “On some varieties, such as Agria, you can dig up plants and they’re hairy and have chits. I don’t believe that is conventional dormancy break, and I’ve never seen it have an impact on sprouting in store – so don’t panic if you do see it.” Monitor, monitor, monitor is the advice from both agronomists. “Be vigilant,” Mr Faulkner stresses. “Look around the stores, especially in areas where there could be slight variations in temperature where dormancy could break sooner and treat accordingly. “You might end up needing one or two more applications than usual,” he notes. “When it comes to application, make sure stores are in a fit state in terms of dryness – no wet patches or condensation on the roof, for example. “It’s standard practice in any year, but follow best practice and you get good application efficacy.”

In-store programmes Considering the potential for dormancy to break earlier than usual, Geoff Hailstone, potato technical specialist for UPL, advises growers to consider starting their in-store programmes with a product that uses a physical mode of action. “This approach maximises the crop’s natural dormancy,” he says. “Unlike products which need to be applied ahead of sprouting, a product like Argos (orange oil) can be delayed until sprouts begin to appear, pushing back in-store treatments until it’s clear that crop dormancy is broken. “Growers have multiple in-store sprout suppressant products to choose from, with each having notable benefits. I’d encourage them to build a programme around these based on the merits of the available products to reduce storage costs and maximise potato quality. “The market is tough at the moment, and every little gain helps improve profitability.” FG www.farmersguide.co.uk | December 2025 21

ARABLE The original 3m Claydon Hybrid was upgraded to the latest 3m Evolution seed and fertiliser model in 2024.

DIRECT DRILLING “IMPROVES FINANCIAL AND ECOLOGICAL SUSTAINABILITY” Cotswolds farmers Martin and Tim Williams have been direct drilling with the Claydon Opti-Till system for the last four years, and it has had such a positive impact that they say they wish they’d adopted it sooner. Some years after first seeing Claydon’s Opti-Till crop establishment system in action, Martin and Tim Williams decided to adopt it on their mixed farm in The Cotswolds as part of their quest to create a highly efficient, ‘low touch’ farming business. “It took us a long while to pluck up the courage to move away from our traditional approach of crop establishment to direct drilling with the Claydon Opti-Till System, but now we wouldn’t want to farm in any other way,” Tim Williams states. A specialist agricultural lawyer, Tim and his father Martin own Stancombe Ash Farm at Bisley near Stroud where the clay/Cotswold brash soils grow arable crops and grass to support an expanding herd of Aberdeen Angus cross cattle. “Our previous method was expensive and inefficient,” Tim acknowledges. “Every autumn we were ploughing for weeks on end and if the frost didn’t condition the soil we had to cultivate it before sowing with a 3m combi-drill. That cost circa £87/ ha in fuel alone, tied up two tractors, involved a lot of labour hours and left us chasing small weather windows. It

was common to burn a whole tank of fuel per day combi-drilling at just 3kph.” The Claydon Opti-Till System was introduced to Martin around 2013 at a Claydon event which was held at the pub now owned by Jeremy Clarkson. The benefits appeared to be extremely attractive, but moving from a way of working that had been used for generations wasn’t easy. “The consequences of making a wrong decision were so great that we weren’t brave enough to take the plunge at that stage,” Martin states. “We needed time to consider everything in detail; eight years as it turned out. It wasn’t just a capital investment – it also required a whole mindset change. “In 2021 we arranged a demo of the Claydon on our farm. Having always focused on producing what we thought was a ‘perfect’ seedbed – brown soil and a fine tilth – we weren’t too impressed with how the land looked behind the direct drill or during the early few weeks of establishment. It wasn’t what we’d been used to seeing, and the visual aspect was a significant mental hurdle

to overcome – although after rolling, it did look better. “In the end, our initial concerns were unwarranted, and a healthy crop emerged. The Claydon rows are spaced at 330mm centres, much wider than we’d been used to, but seed is spread evenly across 150mm-wide bands so once the crop starts to grow you can’t see any difference. Interestingly despite the wider spacing, the 150mm seeding bands added together over a 3m span provide more field coverage than smaller strips on our conventional drill which means we are drilling more field area.”

Multiple benefits Tim and Martin liked the fact that Claydon is a family business, the owners thoroughly test everything on their own farm, and they are very approachable. “Having purchased a 3m Hybrid in October 2021 we used it that autumn to drill cereals directly into stubble and chopped straw from the previous crop, covering 20ha a day with ease,” Tim adds. “The Claydon’s one-pass approach slashed our fuel use to circa £13.50/ha – about 15% of what it was previously – and the output was so high that we established our crops in days rather than weeks. “We would have been happy with

the huge savings in fuel, time and labour, but they are just part of the story. We have significantly reduced tractor hours, wear-and-tear on machinery and the weather risk from having large areas of land cultivated before drilling. The Claydon has also vastly improved the structure and quality of our soils and increased worm activity, while run-off in wet weather has been eliminated. Because much of the root structure from the previous crop is left intact the land is far better able to support following operations such as fertiliser spreading and spraying.” According to Tim, the other major benefit was an immediate increase in yields, largely because areas of heavy land which previously were impossible to farm have come back into production. “Decades of inverting the soil had created a stubborn plough pan and in certain areas the drainage was poor, so the land became rutted in wet weather and the crop there would fail, leaving only thistles and nettles on these barren patches. When the next rain fell soil erosion was an issue. The reported yield loss from moving to a direct drilling system just wasn’t the case for us. “The same was true on the headlands, accounting for nearly 30% of a field, which traditionally yielded

significantly less than the main part. “Our previous drill was establishing seed into capped soil, so crops formed a nest of dense, shallow roots which were unable to access sufficient moisture and nutrients, particularly in dry weather. For the same reason, worm numbers were also low. Now these areas are almost as productive and the yield monitor on our combine proves that the Claydon drill can establish successful crops in areas where previously it was impossible. “The leading tines quickly alleviated years of compaction but as they move less soil we’re not destroying it, so plants grow taller, thicker and greener.”

Making use of grants “Because of our location, harvest is always late and typically we start combining in mid-August or beginning of September. This makes for a short weather window to get following crops in the ground,” points out Tim. “The Claydon has revolutionised how we establish herbal leys, allowing us to drill an SFI mix immediately after harvest when the soil is warm, claim the payment for that and use the forage to help feed our cattle going into winter. This is in addition to the payment we claim for no-till drilling. “The big thing for us is that we now try to apply for all available grants, but as one never knows quite when the application window will close it is essential to do so as soon as possible.”

When the 2024 Farming Equipment and Technology Fund (FETF) grants became available, Martin and Tim decided to upgrade their original 3m Hybrid to the latest 3m Claydon Evolution seed and fertiliser model. Its front cutting discs give additional versatility, the larger 2,500-litre split hopper gives more options when drilling cover crops, the centrally mounted depth wheels better support the weight of the drill, and it has a larger toolbox. Chandlers Farm Machinery in Cirencester delivered the Evolution in September 2024, and they operate it at 8–12kph behind the farm’s 230hp New Holland T7050 which is equipped with RTK guidance. “With the yield monitoring on the combine and the dual hopper of the Evolution, we will now test whether fertiliser can be applied next to the seed to increase the uptake of nutrients and reduce the risk of leaching in pursuit of increased yields to remove the need for our pre-drilling application on the top of the stubble,” shares Tim. “The Claydon has been a game changer, and its ability to establish crops so quickly has allowed us to generate additional income from both SFI option payments and other farming enterprises. “In fact, so many people asked how we were getting on with the Claydon that I produced a video – Is the Zero Till drill worth buying? – for my YouTube channel 'Tim’s Cotteswold Farm',” concludes Tim.

Enhancing soil health for 20 years

Benefits of mechanical weeding

The UK distributor of Algifol, MJP Supplies, is marking 20 years of representing the seaweedbiostimulant, which has proven its ability to improve soil health over the last two decades. MJP Supplies has been working with Algifol since 2005, in which time several field trials have proven the biostimulant’s ability to not only improve crop yields, but also their disease resistance and the health of the soil around them. Algifol is derived from concentrated brown algae harvested from the North Atlantic, rich in trace elements, vitamins, enzymes, amino acids, carbohydrates, and natural growth hormones. Applied four times during the growing season at the rate of just 1-litre/ha, Algifol improves soil fertility by stimulating healthier, more extensive root systems, enabling plants to absorb water and nutrients more efficiently. Improved root development also increases drought resistance and reduces the need for synthetic fertilisers. Field trials led by the PGRO have shown that Algifol can increase pea yields by around 3% under challenging weather conditions.

A key benefit of hoeing, explains KRM, is the ability to destroy ‘resistant’ weeds. This is especially true for those closely related to the crop which can be difficult to target with chemistry. As well as removing weeds there are further agronomic benefits, these include removing capping and opening up the soil thus improving aeration and increasing the soil’s ability to hold water. Traditionally the hoe width must match that of the drill, but KRM has launched new ‘Duo’ versions of its Econet and Klinea models, which allow two drill bouts to be hoed in a single pass. The Duo is a single mounted hoe with two separate hoeing elements; for example in a

Marcus Palmer of MJP Supplies.

12m Duo there are two 6m hoeing elements, each with its own camera and guidance system, allowing a single 12m hoe to operate in a crop sown with a 6m drill. The parallelogram-mounted hoeing unit is fitted with laterally rigid tines to prevent the share from deviating, while a double row of combs at the rear of the hoeing element leaves a perfect finish and ensures that weed roots are left exposed on the soil surface. KRM’s Kipline camera system along with the Weed Pilot in-cab display manages both cameras and both hoeing elements of the Duo, whilst providing the operator with a clear overview of machine’s performance. FG

Algifol’s natural composition allows farmers to reduce their pesticide, nitrogen, and water applications, aligning with regenerative agriculture goals. As agri-input costs rise, MJP says Algifol offers an effective, versatile solution across diverse crops, including potatoes, sugar beet, and oilseed rape, helping improve returns on investment.

Managing over-wintered weeds in wheat Niab’s head of agronomy services Dr Mark Fletcher discusses over-wintered weed burdens. The 2025 drilling season has already surpassed 2024. Where we had some heavy rain in the autumn of 2024 which delayed sowing significantly and in other areas virtually stopped drilling for long periods, this actually optimised grassweed control more by luck than design in some cases.

Early drilling So as not to be caught out two years in a row, and with one of the earliest harvests on record, the temptation for 2025 was to then drill earlier (just in case). However, the rain that "always will come" did not materialise, and in the main seed beds were extremely dry – so many decided not to apply preemergence herbicides in some cases, or opted for a very low-cost control containing the standard flufenacet and diflufenican. Then planned to return later with the chemistry that has more efficacy but comes with an increased cost attached, when moisture arrived. It duly did; however, the general environmental conditions have been warm with high light transmission, which is not a good combination for residual chemistry, that from an efficacy point of view requires the opposite. In some cases, the moisture wasn’t there either. This development has now led to flushes of grasses now appearing in crops that many will struggle to control unless action is taken. These certainly can’t safely be left to spring with the potential of limited temperatures, spray days and the potential to travel would all point to doing something now rather than waiting and praying.

Weed control research It’s not just black-grass that can be easily found now; ryegrass and bromes are equally prevalent in some fields and will require some treatment now rather than later. Over the years, Niab has conducted a vast array of trial work investigating weed control for winter grown crops. With all work, this has evolved depending on the nature of the weed burden and the change in systems or cropping which will predispose the weed type as a potential issue. During the last two decades, Niab has Dr Mark Fletcher, Niab’s head of agronomy services.

undertaken extensive research into both chemical and cultural control methods. These trials have investigated factors such as variety selection, drilling date, seed rate and comparisons between conventional 2-row and 6-row barley. Other experiments have examined herbicide modes of action, timing (pre-emergence vs. postemergence), application rates, tank mix combinations, spray nozzle types and water volumes. Additional studies have focused on cultivation practices and mechanical control techniques such as inter-row hoeing.

Mode of action diversity Multiple Niab trials conducted over time have consistently highlighted the importance of incorporating the mode of action (MoA) diversity within a herbicide programme. Integrating herbicides with different MoAs, growers can reduce the risk of resistance development and improve overall efficacy against grass weed populations. In situations where weed pressure is high, increasing the number of herbicides with different MoAs has been shown to enhance the overall level of control, providing more reliable and consistent results. This strategic approach ensures that the herbicide programme is robust, sustainable, and capable of maintaining long-term effectiveness against some of the most difficult weeds in cereal crops. In addition, combining herbicides with different MoAs (e.g. cinmethylin, flufenacet, aclonifen) improves efficacy. Programmes should be robust and tailored to local grass weed pressure to maintain long-term sustainability. New actives to the market such as bixlozone will have their place in this strategy and future sustainability for weed control. Top-ups if time, and weather, allow, may be a very useful addition this season. If the weed has emerged, residuals may struggle for control and contacts will have to be employed with actives such as pyroxsulam (ryegrass and bromes) or mesosulfuron (ryegrass and black-grass) applied before the grass weed gets

past the 1–2 leaf stage and is still small, otherwise controlling these in the spring can be problematic as discussed earlier. Niab’s membership continues to invest in work on grassweed control and alternative strategies for the future. Current and future work on

grassweeds includes black-grass, Italian ryegrass, brome and wild oats. However, it is now more apparent that broadleaf weeds such as bur chervil are now becoming more of an issue in rotations, and strategies will have to evolve to ensure these don’t become the problems of the future. FG

Sprayer set-up advice for early weed control Now is a good time to ensure sprayers set up for autumn work are reconfigured for spring weed control, suggests Knight Farm Machinery. The manufacturer offers a number of simple tips to help ensure best machine and product performance in winter crops, plus good results from spraying off overwintered stubbles ahead of spring drilling. Before beginning physical checks, ensure the sprayer’s NSTS certification is valid, and that GPS and precision technology unlock subscriptions are up to date. Even where a full in/outside wash was done before winter storage, repeat the process, to minimise risk any residues of the product last applied could affect the next crop sprayed or adhere to components. Clean or – if not done preseason – renew filters. With the correct nozzles fitted and positioned for the season’s first task – check the product manufacturer’s advice on the best nozzles for the timing according to weed and crop canopy size – flush out a full clean water tank on stubble to check all controls, functions and sensors. If not already reinstalled, refit boom end protectors to ensure tips cannot touch the ground. Those with undulating land may wish to take a look at Knight’s Contour Master terrain-tracking technology for tri-fold booms (30–40m) before buying their next sprayer. Four sensors across the boom work with advanced software to control height, tilt, levelling and variable geometry of each boom side (+/-5 degrees). A further 6G version of

Knight 2400 series SP sprayer. Knight Contour Master uses six sensors and Knight’s own technology to manage additional variable geometry points between the inner and outer boom sections, adding full independent automatic movement of the outer boom sections to the existing boom contour-following, with 8-degrees of movement at the boom ends in both directions. With many users likely to be refitting rowcrop tyres for spring work in winter crops, following

proper wheel-changing procedures is vital to avoid injury. Use the jacking points indicated in your machine’s manual, and suitable jacks of the correct rating. Appropriate wheel-handling equipment is available from multiple sources to safely manoeuvre wheels into place. Inspect tyres for damage and ensure pressures are correct. When the wheels are changed, it is also important to check and calibrate the machine’s wheel speed. FG

Winter hive management During cold months, your HIIVE is engineered to support optimal thermodynamic and hydrodynamic conditions by emulating the insulating properties of natural tree cavities. Thermodynamic efficiency: HIIVE structures are designed to conserve the bees’ energy by maintaining a stable internal climate. The materials and geometry of the HIIVE reduce heat loss, allowing bees to survive harsh winters with minimal metabolic strain. This insulation

mimics the thermal buffering found in tree hollows, such as a 200–300 oak tree, where temperature fluctuations are dampened. As a result, bees expend less energy on thermoregulation, preserving their food stores and enhancing colony resilience. Hydrodynamic control: Moisture management is critical during winter, when condensation can threaten colony health. HIIVE’s design includes passive ventilation and water-resistant materials that prevent internal dampness. By controlling airflow and minimising water ingress, the HIIVE reduces the risk of mould and maintains humidity levels conducive to colony survival. This hydrodynamic balance ensures that bees remain dry and healthy even in prolonged cold spells. In essence, HIIVE’s nature-inspired architecture offers a thermally stable and moisture-regulated environment, helping bees thrive through winter, and lean months, with reduced stress and energy expenditure. All features that align with HIIVE’s mission to create speciesappropriate habitats that support natural bee behaviour and long-term sustainability. FG

Väderstad has announced a series of new launches, from its digital telematics tool E-Connect, and new front tool for the Carrier disc cultivators, to new seed drills. Seed drills: The next generation of the Spirit 400-900C/S and Inspire 1200C/S seed drills are now fitted with a new seed coulter, extended coulter pressure, a new following harrow option, and a hydraulic depth setting which can be controlled from the cab as an option. The new seed coulter, able to apply 120kg coulter pressure, features TriForce II, a patented suspension technology that enables every seed coulter to follow the field’s contours with even

tools in the ground, delivering highly intensive mixing, crumbling, and residue management. Field tests have shown that the new front tool is able to create a stronger stale seedbed, promote weed germination and more effective weed knockdown in a second pass. This approach supports sustainable farming practices by reducing the need for chemical herbicides, such as glyphosate, according to UK managing director Andy Gamble. “We have designed the third disc axle front tool to deliver higher intensity and better mixing, which in turn encourages stronger emergence of weeds and leftover seeds,” he says. The new third disc axle is available as a front tool for Carrier XT 425-625 and Carrier XL 425-725 from October 2025, with deliveries starting in the spring 2026. E-Connect: A cutting edge digital telematics tool, E-Connect allows operators to track field work progress, analyse operational efficiency, and make informed decisions based on accurate, up-to-date data. With seamless integration it can connect with major farm management systems (FMS), ensuring that machine data can be integrated as a valuable part of the broader farm planning and analysis ecosystem. E-Connect will be available for Väderstad seed drills, planters and tillage equipment machines fitted with a connected gateway, and it will start to roll-out during the beginning of 2026.

JCB invests £100M in ultra-modern facilities JCB has marked its 80th birthday with news of a £100 million investment in ultra-modern manufacturing facilities at its global headquarters in the UK. The project at the company’s plant in Rocester, Staffordshire, will see the installation of a fully automated powder paint plant costing £60 million as well as a full modernisation of the shop floor, with new machining centres, friction welders and cylinder boring machines. The investment was announced as the British family company celebrated its 80th birthday – and that of its chairman, Anthony Bamford – on 23rd October. The company marked the occasion by giving the entire global workforce of more than 19,000 people an additional day’s holiday on 24th October this year. Anthony Bamford said investing in the World HQ, JCB’s home since 1950, was an important and logical step for the company. Lord Bamford said: “Basing JCB in the UK makes business sense, just as it has always made business sense. The work ethic in our country remains strong – especially in the Midlands, with its

deep engineering heritage. “It makes perfect sense to invest heavily in our British factories and the £100 million we are investing now will put us at the forefront of our industry. Obviously, we are expanding overseas, not least in America, where we have been for decades. But the UK is our home. “We directly employ more than 19,000 people around the world,

more than 8,000 of whom are in the UK. And even though around three-quarters of our UK production is exported, we continue to make a huge contribution to this country and to the national economy.” Anthony Bamford was born on 23rd October 1945, on the same day as his father Joseph Cyril Bamford founded JCB. Today, inventor and entrepreneur Sir James Dyson paid

tribute to Lord Bamford as he and JCB prepared to celebrate their 80th birthdays. He said: “Anthony Bamford is a wonderful example to us all for his entrepreneurship, his engineering, design, and manufacturing. He has built what was a small British manufacturing company into one which is a true global success story, and one we are all very proud of.” FG

New Holland makes changes to dealer network New Holland has announced updates to its UK dealer network, to ensure continuity of sales and service support in the former territories of Rea Valley Tractors Ltd. Rea Valley Tractors Limited officially went into administration in September, prompting New Holland to update its UK dealer network, effectively immediately. The changes are: • Lloyd Ltd has been expanded south to cover the South Lancashire and Cheshire areas • T H White Ltd has expanded to cover Shropshire and Knighton • Russells Ltd has expanded to cover Derbyshire and Staffordshire • The areas of Welshpool, North Powys and North Wales will be subject to a future announcement. “This change represents an important expansion for these three dealer networks, which are committed to delivering outstanding support to our New Holland customers,” said David Rapkins, CNH business director for the UK and Republic of Ireland. “Our customers will benefit from the professional and dedicated support of these established groups.”

Lloyd Ltd Lloyd’s managing director, George Lloyd, added: “This is an exciting time for Lloyd Ltd as it allows us to increase our market with New Holland, a key partner for our business from all eight of our current branches. The decades of experience we have across the company with the New Holland brand will be invaluable as we bring on board new members of the team to support this expansion.” In June 2023, Lloyd Ltd expanded its area down into Garstang. A year later it opened its branch at nearby Cabus Nook, from which it has been selling the New Holland machinery range to many new and existing customers. The site also includes extensive

workshop and parts facilities, with an experienced team ready to support customers across Lancashire with sales, service, and parts. The extended Lancashire coverage will operate from the company’s current branch in Garstang, allowing for new staff to integrate smoothly with the staff and processes. “It will also help us to get to know the area and our new customer base. This is a significant step forward for Lloyd Ltd and provides us with excellent opportunities for the future,” he continued. Meanwhile, Lloyd Ltd Cheshire will be based at the Holmes Chapel premises, formerly the Malpas Tractors depot, making it a familiar location in the region. This will be the company’s ninth branch. “We already have a number of experienced staff on board who can continue to support existing customers in the area. As with all our branches, our sales, service and parts teams combine working at the branch with getting out and about to customer sites, so this extended territory will work well with our current approach. “We look forward to supporting New Holland’s customers throughout Lancashire and Cheshire and introducing them to the Lloyd Ltd team,” Mr Lloyd concluded.

Five diversification ideas Rural Asset Finance shares the top five farm diversifications it has funded in 2025, to help inspire farmers looking to generate new income streams. Around seven in 10 British farms have now diversified to open up new revenue streams. From campsites to curling rinks, renting office space to tank driving experiences, farmers are embracing the opportunities to help sustain their businesses through to the next generation and beyond. Rural Asset Finance, the UK-based specialist direct lender to farmers, says it has been fortunate to fund many such schemes. “It never ceases to amaze me what brilliant ideas farmers have to create an extra revenue stream on the farm,” says CEO Matthew Smart. “It’s a privilege to help them.” With many farmers currently making their plans for the next 12 months, here are a few of Rural Asset Finance’s favourite diversifications it has funded this year.

Profit ’til the cows come home Dairy farmer Stephen Carson’s customers can get fresh milk within hours, after RAF funded a parlour which included the UK’s first batch milking system. Eighteen milking robots sped up productivity, saved labour and improved yield on the farm at Strabane, Co Tyrone. The milk from his 600 Jersey cross British Friesians is then pasteurised, bottled and sold at one of Stephen’s four vending machines in local shopping areas. It’s sustainable, convenient – and importantly, Stephen has kept the profit margin right through the supply chain.

Hats off to the huts Simon Ray knew his smallholding near Edinburgh would not sustain itself – so decided to open a glamping site with shepherd’s huts. He chose five – but, like most farmers, needed to invest without tying up his cash or assets. Rural Asset Finance arranged a hire purchase facility secured on the huts themselves, which refinanced the first hut Simon had already bought – to replace his cash flow – and provided finance on 90% of the purchase price of the other four. Now he’s welcoming his first guests to the site

in the Pentland Hills. “Rural Asset Finance just got what we’re doing,” says Simon. “They were friendly, efficient, they found solutions. I feel they’re on my side.”

Horses for courses Farming contractor Dave Chandler’s core business is contract farming and spreading lime. But he also grows and sells maize feed, farms his own beef cattle – and with help from Rural Asset Finance, recently bought the next-door equestrian yard to create a £1million-plus livery business. “The yard had four stalls but we’re expanding to a 10-stall livery and menage, where my daughter Molly can keep her horses, stable others and also teach,” he says. RAF’s bespoke lending package, which also funds rebuilding a house on the site, included consolidating Dave’s existing mortgage and overdraft by repaying his bank in full and ensuring Dave had sufficient working capital in his own account. “When the livery is up and running,” he adds, “we anticipate the new income from the site means the new project will pay for itself.”

Green for go Jane and Paul Crockett already lived mainly offgrid on the site of their commercial tree nursery. But when they wanted to borrow money to improve the site with renewable electricity, a water treatment plant and a permanent timber home, traditional lenders said no. “I think they saw us as a couple of hippies after a handout,” says Jane, “instead of a professional business wanting sustainability. No-one would look at the whole picture. But Rural Asset Finance got it.” RAF looked at their business, at Heydon Hill Tree Nursery in Somerset’s Brendon Hills, and confirmed a secured loan on a long leasehold parcel of land. “We’re actually like a typical farm,” says Paul, “in that we’ve got more than enough asset, but are cash poor because everything’s tied up. But Rural Asset

At Ollie Stoate’s flour mill RAF finance linked up the firm’s 160-year-old iron water wheel to a 21st century hydro electric generator system. Finance understood our vision. They were just completely on our side.”

Flour power Ancient met modern at Ollie Stoate’s flour mill when RAF finance linked up the firm’s 160-year-old iron water wheel to a 21st century hydro electric generator system – and in real terms, it hasn’t cost him a penny. A RAF loan to his sixth-generation Dorset family business supplemented a low-carbon grant, enabling him to convert the wheel, while also installing 30 solar panels on the grain store roof. “The grant’s terms meant Ollie had to pay the supplier upfront, so we provided him with the funds to coincide with this,” says RAF sales director Ben Wood. “He paid the supplier and because we do everything in-house at speed, we could put the funds back in his account the same day.” Now the mill can harness energy from the River Sturkel 24 hours a day, slashing the company’s energy bill so much that the savings totally offset the repayments – while allowing the business to increase production to an unprecedented 1,000 tonnes of flour a day.

MACHINERY At 853hp, the new Steiger 785 Quadtrac is the most powerful Case IH tractor ever made.

Case IH flexes high-horsepower muscle Daniel Hodge visited the quiet town of St Valentin, Austria – home to CNH Industrial’s European headquarters and, more importantly, one of its key Case IH manufacturing plants responsible for some of the most technically advanced tractors on the continent. The event gathered journalists from across Europe to see how Case IH is reshaping the upper end of its line-up. Centre stage was the new Optum range expansion, containing the newly added Optum 360, Optum 390, and top-of-the-line Optum 440, each with 360, 390, and 435hp, respectively. Alongside it, updated Magnum models underlined the brand’s commitment to serious draft power, while the reborn Steiger 785 Quadtrac stole glances as the most powerful machine Case IH has ever built. Between spotless factory floors and Alpine test tracks, the St Valentin visit offered a glimpse of a company confident in both its engineering heritage and its tech-connected future.

600 to 750 hours, matching other recent Case IH models, and giving the Optum an edge in uptime over most competitors. It’s a subtle but important improvement for busy arable and contracting operations where every hour off the field makes a difference.

Efficiency through transmission The Optum 440 uses the latest 4x2 CVXDrive, providing four fully mechanical ranges in forward and two in reverse. The design allows for 100% mechanical power transfer at four distinct points across the speed range, maximising efficiency for both field and transport work. In practice, that

means a seamless pull from crawl speeds right up to 66kph. For operators familiar with the Optum 340, the driving feel remains largely the same, but torque delivery is more muscular and responsive. Case IH engineers have also fitted a dual pump hydraulic system, offering up to 360-litres per minute total flow. Each pump runs on an independent circuit, with left and right valve banks, giving operators priority control and improved energy efficiency when running multiple implements or hydraulic motors.

Braking, suspension, and control Transport performance was a clear design focus. The new independent double-wishbone front suspension carries 10.5t and provides 250mm of travel, smoothing out road undulations and

New higher-horsepower Optum The new range additions to the Optum series are not positioned as replacements, but instead as natural evolutions of Case IH’s mid-to-high horsepower platform. While the Magnum remains the brute-force puller and the Quadtrac the outand-out powerhouse, the Optum is positioned as the European all-rounder: a machine equally at home hauling silage trailers down country lanes as it is on the plough or drill. Under the striking red bonnet lies an FPT Cursor 9 engine – the same 8.7-litre, six-cylinder block used in the Magnum, though re-engineered here as a structural component rather than mounted within a chassis frame. This approach trims both weight, width, and length – improving manoeuvrability without compromising strength. Rated at 435hp, the Optum 440 delivers permanent power across a flat torque curve, tuned specifically for the CVXDrive continuously variable transmission. Service intervals have been stretched from

MACHINERY for operators who spend long days switching between roadwork and fieldwork. Further refinements include tweaks to the Automatic Productivity Management (APM) system, enabling finer control of acceleration, gear shift sensitivity and power delivery. Operators can also toggle directly between field and road modes, speeding up transitions between tasks. At the business end, hydraulic performance has been improved with new electrohydraulic remote valve assemblies, redesigned for better oil retention and reliability. A dual-line trailer brake system is now standard, providing smoother, more confident stopping power.

The Steiger Quadtrac

The new Optum range houses the same 8.7-litre, six-cylinder block used in the Magnum. stabilising heavy front-mounted implements. The front brakes are now inboard oil-cooled dual discs, doubling braking capacity compared with the previous generation and preventing fade on long downhill runs. Case IH has also developed a decompression exhaust brake system, working in tandem with a variable geometry turbocharger. The result is impressive – with roughly 166% more braking effect than a conventional exhaust flap alone. On the local alpine gradients, Case IH claims you could descend fully loaded without ever touching the service brakes. To prevent jack-knifing under heavy engine braking, the advanced trailer braking system automatically applies proportionate pressure to the trailer circuit, maintaining straight-line stability.

Operator experience and details It’s not just about power and mechanics. The Optum’s cab has been extensively reworked for comfort and usability. Step illumination and integrated aluminium steps make entry safer at night or in poor visibility conditions, while a new integrated toolbox and eight-litre water tank beneath the exhaust let operators clean tools or hands in the field. Inside, revised suspension software adapts damping rates automatically to terrain, and Case IH claims the new cab is among the quietest in its class. The familiar Pro 1200 display now manages almost every system, from the central tyre inflation system (CTIS) to FieldOps data management. CTIS can inflate the Optum’s large-volume tyres by one bar in around five minutes – quick enough that by the time the implement is folded, tyre pressures are back to road-ready. Two memory settings for field and one for road pressures simplify operation further, while automatic speed-triggered inflation can handle the changeover if the operator forgets.

Connectivity and technology As with all new Case IH models, the new Optum range comes with ‘Connectivity Included’ – Case IH’s lifetime, subscription-free connected services package. This enables remote monitoring, telematics, and machine-to-machine communication without ongoing costs. Through the FieldOps platform, operators can access near real-time machine and agronomic data, plan jobs,

and even share A-B lines and coverage maps between tractors via AccuSync. For implement control, Isobus Class 3 and Tractor Implement Management (TIM) compatibility are standard, allowing the implement to adjust the tractor’s parameters automatically for optimal performance, for example, a baler managing ground speed or hydraulic pressure on the fly.

Agile for real-world usability Despite a wheelbase at 3,190mm – 40mm longer than a Magnum – the Optum is nearly 1m shorter overall, thanks to a more compact cooling package and front-end layout. This gives it a tighter 6.1m turning radius, making it one of the most agile tractors in its class. Weighing in at around 12,450kg unladen, with a gross vehicle weight of 18,000kg (or 19,000kg where regulations permit), the Optum sits comfortably in the upper mid-range sector. Its flexibility, from heavy cultivation to high-speed haulage, is the reason that Case IH staff repeatedly referred to it as a “multi-purpose tractor for Europe.”

Completing the line-up at the event was something that makes the ground tremble a little – the Steiger 785 Quadtrac. Described as the most powerful tractor ever built by the brand, it pushes output to a remarkable 853hp, courtesy of the FPT Cursor 16-litre, six-cylinder engine with twin-stage turbocharging. Power is transferred through a 16x2 PowerDrive transmission and the brand’s TwinFlow 428-litre/ min hydraulic system, ensuring there’s no shortage of oil flow for the biggest air seeders and cultivators. For operators who want to make the most of all that power, transfer to the ground is imperative – and now an optional heavy-duty suspended undercarriage keeps the rubber tracks in constant contact with the ground – a design that reduces compaction while smoothing out the ride. Case IH was keen to point out that despite weighing around 30t, its footprint is so large that its ground pressure is said to be no greater than a “normal man” standing on one foot. It’s an interesting talking point for anyone questioning the practicality of running a 30t, 850hp monster. Reintroducing the Steiger name marks a return to a high-horsepower heritage. The “Quadtrac” badge now sits discreetly on the rear glass; the statement power, it seems, doesn’t need shouting about. FG

Magnum: The field specialist While the Optum may be Case IH’s new poster child for European versatility, the Magnum remains the company’s cornerstone for heavy fieldwork. Case IH made it clear during the St Valentin visit that this isn’t a case of one tractor replacing another. The two lines are now designed to coexist – the Optum as a multi-purpose machine for mixed farms and contractors, and the Magnum as the purebred draft specialist. The 2025 Magnum range introduces three models – the 355, 385, and 405 – covering maximum outputs from 390 to 435hp. Power comes from the familiar FPT 8.7-litre six-cylinder engine, while transmission options remain a choice between 21x5 PowerDrive powershift or the CVXDrive CVT. A key update for this generation is the braketo-clutch feature on PowerDrive models. When the brake pedal is pressed, the transmission automatically disengages, allowing for smoother, more precise movements when coupling implements or manoeuvring in confined yards. Releasing the pedal accelerates the tractor to its previous speed – a small but very practical addition

The Andrew Guest Ltd team (l-r): Lewis Hopkinson, Will Johnson, Simon Stapleton, Andrew Bryan, Liz Birch, Ade Dumpleton, Connor Nelms, Liam Reynolds and Tony Beedham.

Andrew Guest: Continuing the legacy Daniel Hodge visited Newark-based refurbishment specialist Andrew Guest Ltd to catch up with the management team about the business. When Andrew Guest passed away, few in the agricultural community could have imagined the business carrying his name would be able to continue with such strength. Yet, under the ownership of Simon Stapleton, Liz Birch, and Lewis Hopkinson, the business has done just that – keeping the same trusted name, the same values, and much of the same team. From the outside, little has changed. Machines still arrive looking tired and in various states of disrepair, and leave looking reborn. But, behind the scenes, the trio have steered the company through uncertain times – preserving jobs, maintaining standards, and ensuring that Andrew’s legacy remains not just intact, but thriving.

Lewis explained. “That’s what makes it last.” Even smaller components such as pins, guards, rollers and levelling boards are handled with the same care. Each is finished to specification, whether by hand or robotic welder. “It keeps the welds consistent,” Lewis said, “but we still check everything ourselves. If there’s a fingerprint in the paint, we’ll spot it.” This is engineering as craft rather than production: a mix of modern tools and oldfashioned standards. The aim isn’t just to make something work again, but to make it right. It’s this combination of experience, technology and care that turns what might once have been scrapped into a machine that looks and works as good as new.

Trust built over decades

Continuity and team spirit

There aren’t many names in the industry that carry the kind of reputation that Andrew Guest Ltd does. If you’re at an auction or event and you’re talking about a Kuhn Power harrow, or Accord seed drill in need of attention, it won’t be long until you hear: “Give Andrew Guest a call.” That trust, built over decades, has become the company’s most valuable asset. As Simon explained, most of their new customers arrive through word of mouth, often from farmers who’ve seen a neighbour’s refurbished drill and want one exactly the same. Others simply call for advice, which the team is always happy to give. “We don’t charge for it,” Simon said. “We just try to help whoever we can.” Stepping inside the workshops at Andrew Guest Ltd makes it immediately clear why their work is so highly regarded. Machines that arrive rusted and half-forgotten are stripped back to bare metal, every shaft and gearbox are checked by hand. Parts are re-bushed, re-bearinged, and replaced where needed before being rebuilt with meticulous precision. The process is as thorough as any manufacturer’s production line. Components are shot-blasted, sand-blasted, hand-prepped, and painted to factory standards, giving every surface a smooth, lasting finish. “It’s all in the preparation,”

Beyond all the machinery and metalwork, it’s the people behind Andrew Guest Ltd that give the business its character. Much of the original team still works there, with many decades of experience, and the company continues to use the same trusted suppliers and long-standing customers. “It ran well for 30 years,” Simon said. “So why change it?” When Andrew passed away, there was uncertainty about what would happen next. But Simon, Liz, and Lewis took on the business, determined to keep it going – and to keep everyone in work. “Andy’s wife, Wendy, didn’t want to see it all go after Andy spent years building it up,” Liz recalled. “So that’s what we’ve done.”

Challenges and the road ahead Like most in the industry, Andrew Guest Ltd has not been immune to rising operating and energy costs, or the uncertainty facing farmers. Yet, as Lewis pointed out, there’s been an unexpected upside: with many farmers reluctant to buy new, the demand for refurbishment has grown. The team’s approach remains pragmatic. “We’ve got ideas,” Simon said, “but we can’t do everything.” Instead, they focus on steady investment, upgrading machinery, refining processes, and keeping quality consistent. It’s a

Walking around the yard, it’s impossible not to notice how Andrew’s legacy continues; not as nostalgia, but as a standard. Machines that once sat idle in hedgerows now gleam, rebuilt with the same care that defined his work. Under Simon, Liz and Lewis, that legacy has found steady footing. They’ve preserved what mattered: craftsmanship, honesty and pride in a job well done. In an age of disposability, Andrew Guest Ltd stands as proof that doing things properly never falls out of favour. FG www.farmersguide.co.uk | December 2025 47

MACHINERY A total of 40 competitors took part in the competition.

Trelleborg’s first UK TRACTOR DRIVER OF THE YEAR The first UK edition of Trelleborg’s Tractor Driver of the Year brought tractor handling to the spotlight near Loughborough, on 16th October 2025. Daniel Hodge was there. Originally an Italian contest, the event made its British debut this year, inviting 40 farmers from across the country to test their skill across four challenges – all behind the wheel of Valtra tractors on Trelleborg tyres. The day mixed competition and camaraderie in equal measure, supported by Chandlers Farm Equipment Ltd and hosted at the Everyman Racing track. By sundown, one driver would claim the UK’s first Tractor Driver of the Year title, but the real win was the atmosphere. It was a rare day for farmers to swap stories, compare skills and show just what modern kit, and its operators, can do.

A new challenge on British soil Bringing an Italian concept to British farms took careful planning. Italy had proved the idea worked; now it was Britain’s turn. “We’d been planning it for about a year,” explained Chris Heale, Trelleborg’s UK sales director. The UK debut was capped at around 40 competitors to keep the first year manageable, with entries promoted mainly through social media. Timing it in October was deliberate, Chris said, commenting: “Getting them off the farm is the biggest challenge.” For this reason, the event was placed after the harvest rush. For Trelleborg, the day was as much about connection as competition. “It’s nice to have events that get farmers together,” Chris said. “It’s not just about tyres – it’s about talking, sharing, inspiring young people.” Judging by the turnout and the laughter between rounds, that aim was well met.

The event’s challenges included reversing, manoeuvring, precision parking, and hoisting.

Event layout and challenges The competition featured four tests of precision and control: • Reversing demanded patience and accuracy, as drivers guided a tractor and trailer around a semicircle, nudged a rugby ball into a tyre target for a 10-second time bonus, then reversed back without clipping cones • The manoeuvring challenge was a forward-

MACHINERY a pallet weighed down with a tyre, carry it across the track and set it back down. Competitors were split into groups, tackling two challenges before lunch at nearby Prestwold Hall, and two after. The friendly format meant that while times mattered, so did sportsmanship. As one driver joked after clipping a cone: “I thought you were supposed to hit them – that’s minus 10 seconds, right?” It summed up the spirit of the event: competitive, but good-humoured throughout.

Machines and rubber A fleet of Valtra tractors provided the muscle: the T255V, N175D, Q265 and flagship S416, ranging from around 200–400+hp. All were equipped with Trelleborg TM1000 ProgressiveTraction and TM1060 tyres – built for high horsepower and low soil compaction. “It’s nice to see the tyres in action,” said Hawra Hussain, Trelleborg’s UK marketing manager. “Farmers could experience the traction, comfort and durability that make the difference in

everyday work.” Seth Bradford from Valtra added that the event also showcased the synergy between brands. “Our factory-fitted central tyre inflation system works perfectly with Trelleborg VF tyres,” he said. Local dealer Chandlers FE Ltd supplied the trailers, while Everyman Racing handled hosting. On the track, the combination proved seamless – plenty of power, and plenty of grip.

The final reckoning As the events came to a close, competitors gathered for the results. Chris Heale thanked everyone for a “fierce competition” and joked that each could now claim bragging rights as one of “the top 40 tractor drivers in the country.” Third place went to Jordan Sizer, finishing in nine minutes 43 seconds, with Neil Sturmey second with nine minutes 32 seconds. The title of Trelleborg UK Tractor Driver of the Year UK 2025 went to Mitchell Oldershaw, with eight minutes 49 seconds, who also took home the Everyman Racing Platinum Driving Experience as his prize.

Heale praised the strong turnout and teamwork that made the day possible, thanking Valtra, Chandlers and Everyman for their support before calling everyone over for a group photo – a fitting close to a day that was as much about community as competition.

Looking ahead With the first British edition complete, Trelleborg has confirmed plans to make the event annual. “We’ll definitely be doing it again next year,” Heale said, hoping for an even wider mix of ages and backgrounds. The UK debut marks the start of a new tradition, extending the contest beyond Italy where it has long been a staple. As Hawra explained: “It’s about connecting directly with farmers, understanding their real-world needs and showing our products in action.” For the competitors, it was a day to remember – a rare chance to swap fieldwork for friendly rivalry and prove that precision, patience and pride are vital behind the wheel.

Meet the competitors Mitchell Oldershaw

W EV IN EN N T ER

Leicestershire farmer Mitchell Oldershaw didn’t travel far – his 500-acre grassland farm is just down the road. Entered by a friend “as a joke,” he came for fun and left as champion, clocking a total time of eight minutes 49 seconds. “I came for the fun and didn’t expect to win,” he said, grinning. What stood out most for him was the atmosphere. “We’ve met great people today – never met anyone here before, but everyone’s been brilliant,” he said. He praised the organisation and even the lunch, joking that “farmers will travel for a good meal.” He hopes next year will draw more young entrants: “It’s been fantastic. I’ll even come back as a judge if I have to.”

Young farmer, Kurt Taylor

Experienced contractor, Colin Young

Mixed farmer, Will Shemilt

At just 18, Kurt Taylor was one of the youngest drivers on the day. Hailing form Pickering, he doesn’t come from a farming family – his dad is a builder – but he’s been driving tractors since he was 12, working weekends on a 350acre organic farm. Kurt entered for a laugh, but he quickly found himself tackling Valtra’s 400hp machines. “It’s nice to see other drivers and actually socialise a bit,” he said. Farming can be lonely work, and for him, that made the day worthwhile. By the afternoon, facing the S416, he admitted: “I’ve never driven anything that big.” He didn’t make the podium, but left proud to be “one of the top 40 tractor drivers in Britain.”

At the other end of the scale, 52-year-old Colin Young from Wiltshire brought decades of experience – and perspective. A contract sprayer covering 5,000 acres, he entered “for a bit of a laugh”. “I’m nowhere near the leaderboard,” he admitted cheerfully, “I’m just here for fun.” He relished the social side: “You don’t do this on the farm – except maybe when you’re stuck in roadworks, trying not to hit the cones.” Between runs he spoke about the realities of modern farming – land sales, development pressure, shrinking margins – before laughing that at least he could now claim to be one of the UK’s top 40 tractor drivers. He fully enjoyed a day of cone-dodging and banter with fellow tractor drivers.

Will Shemilt, a mixed farmer from Northamptonshire, turned up solo “just for something random to do!” With 300 acres of grass and silage under his care, Will said he spends much of his year in a loader tractor and took to the challenges with a grin and running commentary. He didn’t worry about performance times. “I didn’t come to win – just to have a laugh and get off the farm for a day,” he said. His enthusiasm was infectious, and by the end, all those watching were cheering him on. “Absolutely brilliant event – I’d recommend it to anybody,” he said as the day wrapped up.

MASSEY FERGUSON eXperience TOUR At the Lincolnshire Showground, a fleet of red machinery gleamed as Massey Ferguson’s travelling eXperience Tour rolled into town. Daniel Hodge was there. Designed as both an open-air classroom and a social get-together, the event gathered farmers, dealers and engineers for a hands-on look at the brand’s full-line range, from compact tractors and telehandlers to high-horsepower models and combines. Hosted in partnership with dealers Peacock & Binnington, B&B Tractors, and Chandlers (MF) Ltd, and supported by Trelleborg Tyres, the day opened with a short presentation from Massey Ferguson’s advertising and sales promotions manager Lindsay Haddon, who emphasised that the tour was as much about conversation as horsepower. Massey’s aim, she said, was to reconnect face-to-face, to let customers talk directly with the people behind the machines. After coffee and introductions, guests were divided into small groups and sent out to explore a rotation of demonstration stations. Each offered something different – a close look at the combine line-up, test drives of the latest tractors, or practical workshops on tyre technology and finance.

Full-line manufacturer If there was a single message behind the eXperience tour, it was that Massey Ferguson now

builds everything. The company used the event to underline its credentials as a full-line manufacturer – producing not only tractors but also telehandlers, combines, balers and headers, all developed and built within AGCO’s own facilities. From compact utility tractors to flagship harvesters, the display at Lincolnshire covered the full spectrum of power and purpose. Guests were reminded during the morning briefing that every machine, from the smallest 1M to the top-end 9S, is engineered with the same design philosophy: practical, reliable and straightforward to own. That consistency was on full display across three demo stations. Those wearing blue lanyards began at the material handling area, where the new TH.7038 Dyna-CT telehandler and 5S tractors were paired with loader demonstrations. The white group headed for the high-horsepower section, taking turns behind the wheel of the 7S, 8S Xtra and 9S tractors, while the red lanyards joined Trelleborg’s technical team for an interactive look at tyre pressure and soil compaction. Before heading outside, visitors also heard from AGCO Finance and AGCO Aftersales about flexible finance options and after-sales support –

The (l-r) 8S Xtra, 9S, and 7S were running all day for on-tarmac driving demos.

part of Massey’s broader effort to offer complete ownership solutions, not just machines.

A combine for anyone Few machines draw a crowd quite like a combine, and the event offered a rare opportunity to see both ends of Massey Ferguson’s harvesting range parked side by side. Leading the session was Howard Warnes, MF’s combine area sales manager, who walked visitors through the engineering lineage that connects the company’s smallest straw-walker Activas with the flagship Ideals. “The key message,” he explained, “is that whether you’re buying a simple, owner-operator machine or a high-capacity rotary flagship, they share the same design DNA and quality control.” Behind him stood the Activa 7344, described as the flagship of MF’s entry-level range. With its 20ft FreeFlow header, Schumacher knife system and optional third drum (multi-crop separator), the model bridges traditional simplicity with modern refinement. A 7.4-litre AGCO Power engine delivers dependable torque, while features such as electric engagement, automatic header control and a ProLine comfort cab ensure it feels far from basic. Howard pointed out that for many owneroperators, this balance of mechanical reliability and just-enough automation is precisely what makes the Activa attractive: “It’s about independence,” he said – avoiding the uncertainty of contracting and maintaining full control over the harvest window. A short walk across the yard brought visitors to the Ideal 8T, Massey’s flagship rotary combine and the product of a decade-long clean-sheet design. Developed to combine European efficiency with American throughput, the Ideal series features 4.8m twin rotors – the longest on the market – and MAN six-cylinder engines delivering high output with surprising fuel economy. On the demonstration machine, a 35ft SuperFlow header fed into a 12,500-litre grain tank unloading at 140-litres/s via the standard Streamer 140 system; an optional upgrade increases capacity to 17,100 litres and 210-litres/s.

MACHINERY The Ideal range of combines was designed from a clean sheet, with each engineering solution being “ideal”.

included AirSense cooling (automatically reversing fans to keep radiators clear), the Skyline cab with full touchscreen control, and built-in Trimble guidance and AccuConnect telematics as standard. Howard noted that for the upcoming model year 26, the Ideal range gains a redesigned cleaning shoe, boosting output and hillside performance – a subtle but meaningful evolution for contractors chasing every tonne per hour.

Recent combine purchase Among the farmers attending were Henry Ward and David Needham, who will be replacing their 2023 Ideal 8T with a 2026 model, currently pending delivery. “The first year with our current Ideal 8T was a learning curve,” David admitted, “but the dealer backup was faultless, and since then it hasn’t missed a beat – which is why we've now ordered the latest version.” Their confidence in Peacock & Binnington’s support – and in the machine’s steady performance – neatly captured what the eXperience Tour aimed to demonstrate: modern capability grounded in practical trust.

Material handling updates Among the newer additions to Massey Ferguson’s full-line range, few drew as much curiosity as the TH.7038 Dyna-CT, which made its UK debut at the Lincolnshire event. While it looks familiar beside previous TH-series handlers, the real change lies beneath the bonnet – this is Massey’s first telehandler fitted with a continuously variable transmission (CVT).

Replacing the traditional hydrostatic setup, the new Dyna-CT gearbox promises a smoother, quieter, and more efficient drive. As Richard Cox, area sales manager for Massey Ferguson explained: “With this CVT, it just goes.” The difference is noticeable: throttle response feels direct, transitions between forward and reverse are far more intuitive and are the kind of refinements operators notice within seconds of use. Powered by a 135hp Develon engine delivering 119-litres/min of hydraulic flow, the TH.7038 offers 7m of lift height and 3.8t of capacity, and an arm that can be lifted and extended at the same time. It’s also robustly built, with 8mm steel underbody protection to shield the driveline and hydraulics – a thoughtful detail for farmyards where concrete, mud and straw rarely stay in their lanes. Manufactured in partnership with Bobcat, the new model combines Massey’s ergonomic cab and control layout with Bobcat’s long-proven loader chassis. Optional headstocks, hydraulic packages and lighting upgrades allow buyers to tailor the machine to specific handling roles. For many attendees, it was their first taste of a MF-badged handler capable of matching or even exceeding the refinement of competitors – a small but significant step in completing the company’s full-line ambition.

Gaining traction While much of the day revolved around horsepower and hydraulics, one of the most animated sessions took place under the Trelleborg Tyres canopy. Led

by Trelleborg’s technical manager Jimmy Jones, the talk drew in crowds with its mix of humour and hard facts – and an occasional prize for anyone willing to guess correctly in his pressure-footprint quiz. Jimmy began by introducing VF (Very High Flexion) tyres, a technology, he noted that has been available for 15 years but remains surprisingly underused. In simple terms, a VF tyre can either carry 40% more load at the same pressure, or the same load at 40% less pressure, reducing soil compaction and improving ride comfort without the need for complex inflation systems. To prove the point, Trelleborg’s team compared a standard 710/60R38 tyre inflated to 1.6 bar with one set to 0.8 bar, doubling the contact area from around 4,500 to almost 7,000cm². The demonstration made a clear impression – as did the reminder that “saving £500 on front tyres while destroying £1,000 rears” is false economy if ballast and pressures aren’t properly matched. A follow-up display illustrated how incorrect “delivery” pressures from new tractors, often left unchanged, can halve traction efficiency and accelerate wear. By contrast, correctly set field pressures extended footprint length, spreading the load and cutting compaction dramatically. It was a lively, practical reminder that machinery performance begins where the rubber meets the soil, and that tyres, too often overlooked, are as vital to efficiency as the engine above them.

The full experience The eXperience Tour wasn’t about selling a single model so much as reaffirming the brand’s full-line identity and the dealer relationships that underpin it. From the simple, owner-focused Activa to the cutting-edge Ideal 8T, from the compact loaders to the new Dyna-CT telehandler, and the ever-present high-horsepower tractors, the message was consistent: a complete offering backed by a familiar support network.

CLAAS UNVEILS NEW AXION 9 At an exclusive press event at its UK head office in Saxham at the end of October, Claas unveiled the latest generation of Axion 9 tractors ahead of the official launch at Agritechnica. Daniel Hodge reports. While 2025 has tested most major manufacturers, Claas has managed to hold its ground. Speaking at the UK preview, senior vice president Trevor Tyrell painted a mixed picture of the global market: combine sales at record lows and arable margins tightening sharply across much of Europe, yet Claas maintaining a steady turnover in the UK and Ireland. “Full speed ahead,” he said, summing up the company’s stance amid the downturn. Trevor noted that tractor sales have more than compensated for the fall in combine numbers, with Ireland in particular showing a 25% uplift over the past year. Across the group, Claas has continued to invest heavily in production and R&D, expanding or modernising nearly every major site – from the forager plant in Harsewinkel and the baler factory in Metz, to a new €11 million extension at Le Mans, where all new Axion models will be built. The company’s strategic focus is clear: growth through high-horsepower tractors and greater presence in global markets, especially North America, where Claas is developing its next generation of combines locally for the first time. Despite wider market pressures, Trevor’s message was confident – Claas is betting on technology, investment and premium products to carry it through the cycle.

looking back at you is now sharper, leaner, and meaner. Patrick Frawley, product manager for large tractors at Claas UK, described it as “turning customer expectations into reality” – a sentiment that echoed throughout the launch. The new styling centres around what the company calls the ‘Claas visor’. It’s more than just a cosmetic flourish, it helps define the tractor’s identity, giving it the same visual authority as the company’s flagship foragers and combines. Claas’ design team admitted that the tractors of old “didn’t excite”, and the new generation is their answer – a machine that is designed to look every bit as advanced as it performs. Within, the transformation continues. The new K09 cab sets a new benchmark for space, comfort, and refinement, pairing high-grade materials with a subdued automotive colour palette. Every surface and control have been re-evaluated for function and feel, resulting in an environment that matches the expectations set by Claas’ premium image. For a brand often praised for engineering over style, the Axion 9 shows that Claas can do both. It’s a tractor designed not only to deliver horsepower and productivity, but also to make it so that operators want to climb in and stay there.

Design and identity

Underneath the bold new styling, Claas has rebulit the Axion 9 from the ground up. Power comes from an 8.7-litre, six-cylinder engine, delivering between 317–448hp across the series, with the

range-topping 9.450 Terra Trac at its peak. Each unit employs a variable-geometry turbocharger and a fully adaptive driveline management system that continuously adjusts engine speed and transmission ratio for optimum efficiency. A headline feature is ‘Auto Load Anticipation’, which is a predictive system that anticipates load changes before they happen. For example, when lowering an implement into work, engine speed will be raised proactively. This results in smoother transitions, fewer rev drops, and a more stable ride under heavy draft conditions. Power delivery is handled by the latest ZF Cmatic CVT, which has been re-mapped with improved torque response, better low-speed control, and a new automatic stretch brake for greater downhill stability. At the rear, the new half-track Terra Trac system retains its key advantage: the ability to deliver more than 50% greater contact area than a wheeled equivalent, without the pitching and pressure peaks associated with triangular track systems. Maintenance has been simplified too, with all service intervals extended to 750 hours, and transparent mid-roller and idler caps for quick checks. Overall, this results in less down-time, and Claas claims an 18% reduction in service costs compared with the outgoing Axion 900. It seems that this might have been where the biggest gains have been made. The new driveline and track unit promise not only more efficient power transfer, but also lower wear, easier servicing, and better fuel economy – traits that matter more than ever in today’s incredibly cost-sensitive market.

Cab and operator environment Claas describes the new K09 cab as “a completely

MACHINERY new generation”, and in this case, that doesn’t seem like an exaggeration. The overhaul is total – from the frame and glasswork to the controls, ergonomics, and the materials. The cab is 17% larger than before, offering a class-leading 3.24m3 of internal volume, and yet manages to be the quietest in its bracket, registering just 66dB at operating speed. The improvements start before you even climb aboard. A redesigned stairway with aluminium diecast steps and a shallower angle make access easier, helped by new lighting and handrails. Inside, the space feels immediately more premium. The seat rotates 40-degrees to the right and 10-degrees to the left, allowing operators to comfortably get a full view around them without contorting themselves. Claas has delivered the sort of environment that makes a long working day feel much more bearable. Air-conditioning performance is up 30%, thanks to new dual fans, while 360-degree LED lighting packages offer up to 48,000 lumens for night work. Storage, visibility, and finishing quality all take a clear step up, with a 10% larger glazed area and the widest rear window opening on the market. The new CEBIS Connect terminal integrates all key functions from GPS guidance and CEMOS optimisation to lighting, hydraulics and multimedia into a single 12in touchscreen, with the option of a second display. The redesigned armrest and ElectroPilot joystick provide up to 38 assignable controls, giving operators near-total customisation.

Under the bonnet is an 8.7-litre, six-cylinder engine, delivering between 317–448hp.

Hydraulics and implement control Matching the power on tap is a new high-capacity hydraulic system that gives the Axion 9 series the muscle to handle today’s largest implements with ease. Operators can specify either a single-pump setup delivering 220-litres/min, or a twin-pump configuration producing up to 370-litres/min, with two valves capable of supplying 170-litres/min each. The dual-pump system allows simultaneous operation of high-demand implements, a clear nod to the needs of modern contractors and large-scale arable farms. A redesigned rear linkage delivers up to 12t of lift capacity, while the front linkage retains a robust 6.5t. Claas has added a hydraulic top-link assist, allowing the heavy top link to be raised or lowered effortlessly via a pneumatic cylinder. It’s a small but much appreciated touch for anyone who’s tried to manhandle one. Further refinements include new hydraulic stabilisers, auto trailer axle locking, and an upgraded front axle capable of carrying greater ballast, giving the tractor more flexibility for heavy front-mounted implements. The Terra Trac version, meanwhile, continues to offer class-leading traction and soil protection for those who value low ground pressure.

Claas’ distinctive oval tracks are said to offer advantages over competitors' triangular tracks.

Digital intelligence and autonomy The Axion 9 introduces an entirely new electrical and electronic architecture, designed from the ground up to handle the growing demands of automation, connectivity and data management. Every control unit, fuse and wiring harness has been re-engineered, creating a platform that Claas says is “future-proofed for the world of autonomy”. At its heart is the CEBIS Connect terminal – a unified interface that brings together GPS steering, implement control, headland sequences, lighting and multimedia. The new system integrates directly with Claas Connect, the cloud-based portal that

enables data sharing, remote monitoring and machine documentation. For the operator, that means real-time access to performance data, task planning and remote support through their dealer. For managers, it opens the door to detailed job reporting, variable-rate applications and emissions tracking across the fleet. The new tractors also support the latest AEF Isobus compatibility, allowing seamless connection with mixed-fleet implements and data exchange through the growing universal ag-data network. Claas’ own automatic documentation feature now records inputs and emissions per field and even generates contractor-ready digital reports at the end of each job. Perhaps the most forward-looking element unveiled at Saxham was Claas’ first step towards Level 2 autonomy, developed in collaboration with Dutch partner AgXeed. The system uses the AgXeed VCU module to execute pre-planned field tasks autonomously under operator supervision. Routes, headlands and working parameters are created in the office via Claas Connect, sent wirelessly to the tractor, and executed in the field with the operator present in the cab. Steering, hitch position and hydraulic control can all be automated, but the driver retains ultimate responsibility.

UK relevance and outlook

Its arrival also highlights Claas’ commitment to manufacturing and support, with all models built at the upgraded Le Mans plant and backed by a strengthened UK dealer network. For operators and managers alike, it’s a clear signal that Claas intends to compete not just on engineering reliability, but on whole-farm efficiency.

For British and Irish farmers, the Axion 9’s upgrades go far beyond aesthetics. Claas’ high-horsepower tractors have carved a loyal following in the contracting and large-scale arable sectors, and this new generation clearly targets the realities of those businesses: tighter margins, longer working days and increasing pressure to do more with fewer people. Extended 750-hour service intervals and lower overall maintenance costs will appeal to operators chasing uptime and predictability. The integration of remote diagnostics and dealer-linked service notifications through Claas Connect should reduce unplanned downtime, a small but critical advantage during short drilling or harvest windows. Equally relevant is the shift toward digital compatibility. Many UK farms now run mixed fleets, and Claas’ open-data approach through the AEF Isobus framework ensures that the new Axion can work alongside other brands without friction. From section control on drills to automatic documentation for fertiliser applications, the system reflects how professional farming is evolving: increasingly data-driven, collaborative and accountable. In a market where return on investment matters more than ever, the new Axion 9 is pitched as a long-term workhorse with modern sensibilities.

A statement of intent The Axion 9 is more than a facelift for a proven platform. Claas has taken the lessons of a decade in the high-horsepower market and rebuilt its flagship from the inside out, blending the comfort and digital sophistication of a premium tractor with the durability expected of a true workhorse. It arrives at a time when efficiency, reliability and operator appeal matter more than ever. From the re-engineered driveline and longer service intervals to the revamped cab and connected electronics, every detail points to a machine designed to work harder for longer, and to keep its driver happier while doing so. As Claas prepares for the public debut at Agritechnica, one line from the launch presentation resonates: expectations become reality. For the Axion 9, that feels about right, though what those expectations will cost remains, at the time of writing, undisclosed. FG

BUCKS FARMERS BEAT CRYPTO OUTBREAK AFTER LOSING 23% OF CALVES Only Hereford calves were affected by the outbreak.

A young farming couple who lost nearly a quarter of their suckled calf crop to cryptosporidiosis in 2023 have taken a belt-and-braces approach to ensure such devastating losses never happen again. Ollie East and his partner Lucy Clark of East Livestock, Buckinghamshire, faced a costly and devastating issue in February 2023, when eight Hereford calves were lost during the indoor calving period, and many others severely affected. Only Herefords were affected, which is thought to be down to poorer colostrum quality and quantity. In 2021 Ollie and Lucy took 50% ownership of a 30-head Hereford suckler herd, and bought around 20 Continental-cross cattle – grazed across 283ha of tenanted grassland. Caused by the protozoan parasite Cryptosporidium parvum, cryptosporidiosis primarily affects calves within their first 14 days of life, damaging the gut lining, causing extreme diarrhoea, dehydration and – in severe cases – death. It also poses a risk to humans, which Lucy found out the hard way when she contracted the parasite. “I was knocked out for 10 days. I had no energy and couldn’t keep anything in. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I now take no risks when it comes to hand washing,” she says.

Long-term problem Their vet, Jon Goodson of Goodsons Farm Vets, used a calf-side faecal testing kit from MSD Animal Health to confirm the presence of cryptosporidiosis, as well as coronavirus in the first case. Subsequent cases all tested positive for cryptosporidiosis alone.

“We were drip-feeding calves and giving halofuginone lactate (Halocur) as a treatment to the sick and then as a precaution to all others,” says Jon. “But some calves deteriorated so quickly, they were dead within 24 hours of showing symptoms. Even some that calved outside were going down; the cows must have had contaminated teats.” Environmental swabs later revealed the parasite was present throughout the calving shed – including in the water trough. Further tests also revealed it was on the pasture next to a sewage treatment works, which is known to flood onto the land during heavy rain. “The building where we calved the cows and housed them over winter was old,” explains Ollie. “When we looked through historic records, we saw the Hereford herd had consistently run at 20% calf mortality. It’s clear cryptosporidiosis had been here long before us. It’s almost embarrassing to admit the scale of the problem.” And the cost was significant. “Administering Halocur was expensive, and it still knocked the calves back,” says Lucy. “Even after turnout we were still seeing issues. Our initial reaction was that we’d never calve in that shed again. But with shed space so limited, and local barns being turned into commercial units, we didn’t have another option.”

Tackling crypto head-on Ollie and Lucy worked closely with Jon to take control of the situation. “We were very

strict on culling,” says Ollie. “Anything that lost a calf and shown to have poor or limited colostrum was culled. We culled over half the Herefords and have been slowly rebuilding with stronger replacements.” They also bought a new Hereford bull from James Ludgate’s Rempstone herd, chosen for his maternal traits and milkiness to improve colostrum quantity and quality. Sheds are now mucked out three times over winter, disinfected each time with a cryptoeffective product, and lime is added under the bedding. Bedding is also topped up more regularly. But the game-changer, they say, has been vaccination with Bovilis Cryptium – the first vaccine in the UK to protect cattle against Cryptosporidium parvum. It is administered to pregnant heifers and cows to boost antibody levels in their colostrum, providing newborn calves with protection against the parasite. “We realised that unless we changed to outdoor spring calving entirely – which still had its issues – vaccination was our only real option,” says Lucy. Now, cows are vaccinated with two doses four weeks apart in November, completed at least three weeks before calving. In subsequent pregnancies, cows only need a single annual booster. The vaccine can be used alongside Bovilis Rotavec Corona for broader scour protection against rotavirus, coronavirus, and E. coli F5 (K99) and F41. “Since we started vaccinating in late 2024, we haven’t had a single case of scours – not even milk scours – and we’ve had zero calf losses postcalving. It’s made a huge difference,” says Ollie.

Suckler herds Although cryptosporidiosis is often associated with dairy units, Jon says it is not uncommon in beef herds. “The movement of calves from dairy farms to suckler systems – to foster or replace dead calves – can be a route in, or lapses in biosecurity. If you’re bringing in a dairy calf, it may be worth considering Halocur treatment on arrival or buying in from vaccinated herds if available that have good colostrum protocols.” He stresses that once cryptosporidiosis is present on a unit, it’s almost impossible to eradicate it for good. But effective control is possible through vaccination, hygiene, and colostrum management. “With beef calves worth £500, spending money on a vaccine is an easy decision,” says Jon. FG

NEW INNOVATIONS IN NAVEL HEALTH

Emma Johnston, ruminant technical specialist at Provita Animal Health, offers advice on navel health, which is critical for the survival and well-being of newborn lambs.

Prevention is key Preventing navel infections is a multifaceted approach that relies on good husbandry practices rather than just a single treatment. Hygiene and environment – a clean, dry environment is the first line of defence. Pathogens thrive in dirty, wet conditions: • Lambing pens: Pens should be thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and re-bedded with fresh, dry straw between each animal. Lime can be used to help dry out the bedding and reduce bacterial load • Housing and pasture: Keep all areas where young animals are housed or spend their first few weeks clean and dry. Regularly add fresh straw to sheds and rotate grazing pastures to prevent the build-up of bacteria • Animal hygiene: Keeping the mother animal clean, particularly the tail and udder area, reduces the risk of the newborn ingesting or coming into contact with

faecal matter

• Farmer hygiene: Farmers and

staff should use clean overalls or gloves when handling newborns, and all equipment, like ropes or stomach tubes, should be disinfected between uses.

Colostrum management: A new-born lamb is born with an underdeveloped immune system. It relies entirely on its mother's colostrum to receive the antibodies needed to fight off infections. It's crucial that the lamb receives a sufficient amount of high-quality colostrum as soon as possible after birth. The gut's ability to absorb antibodies is most efficient within the first two hours and drops off significantly after six hours. Navel treatment – dipping vs. spraying: Navel disinfection is a cornerstone of navel health management. It serves to disinfect the navel, kill bacteria, and promote rapid drying and sealing. Traditionally, an iodine solution is used. Micellerate Dermacare from Provita Animal Health is a new generation product. The key to effective treatment is thorough application. The entire umbilical cord, from the severed end to where it meets the abdomen, must be fully covered. Dipping: Using a navel dipping cup is often recommended as it ensures 360-degree coverage of the

entire cord. Disposable cups can be used to prevent contamination between animals. Spraying: While convenient, spraying can easily miss parts of the navel. If spraying, ensure the entire cord is saturated with the product. The navel should be disinfected within the first 15 minutes of birth. A second application 2–4 hours later is highly recommended, as it provides a second chance to seal the cord and combat any new bacterial exposure.

Micellerate Dermacare Provita is proud to introduce its latest innovation in animal health: Micellerate Dermacare – Navel and Wound Spray, a gentle, effective, and sustainable solution designed specifically to support the healing

The navel, or umbilical cord, is a direct pathway for bacteria to enter the bloodstream, leading to serious and often fatal infections. Navel ill and joint ill are the most common infections, causing economic losses due to treatment costs, reduced growth rates, and mortality. Proactive management focusing on hygiene, colostrum, and navel care is essential for prevention.

of navels, small wounds, and ear tagging sites. Micellerate Dermacare helps promote natural, antibiotic-free healing. The product harnesses a powerful blend of natural antibacterial and antifungal agents that work synergistically to combat pathogens without the use of harsh chemicals. This approach helps reduce the risk of irritation, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and long-term skin damage – a growing concern within the farming industry. One of the standout features of Micellerate Dermacare is its quick-drying formula, which forms a breathable but protective barrier over the treated area. This barrier allows oxygen to reach the skin, which is essential for effective tissue repair, while shielding the site from external contaminants. The spray also contains natural anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe the skin, reduce swelling, and promote faster healing. Unlike traditional aerosol sprays, Micellerate Dermacare is nonaerosol, re-sealable, and reusable. This innovative packaging ensures controlled and precise application with less product wastage, making it both farmer-friendly and ecoconscious. The compact, easy-to-use spray bottle fits neatly into a vet kit or lambing box and is perfect for use in the field or shed. Whether used for navel care, minor wounds, or tagging sites, Provita Micellerate Dermacare offers a natural, fast-acting alternative to conventional wound treatments. It aligns with modern farming values of sustainability, welfare, and reduced reliance on antibiotics, helping farmers care for their animals while protecting the future of livestock health. FG

animals,” Kate explained. “If it’s a 12-week calving block, for example, then ideally you would vaccinate half the cows that are due to calve first, then do the second batch at a later date, rather than doing it all on the same day.” This avoids some calving a little too soon after the vaccine and others calving after the 12 weeks. Other top tips include:

• Check the dose rate, because not all vaccines are the same

• Vaccines should be kept in the fridge between 2–8ºC

• Make sure your fridge is working properly and keep a minimum/ maximum thermometer in your fridge so you know if there has

HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF

CALF SCOUR VACCINES When you’re investing in calf scour vaccines, there are several factors to consider to ensure you get the best results possible. We spoke to Kate Ingram, veterinary technical adviser for Virbac, for some advice.

Storage and administration “If you’re going to invest money in these products, it’s really important that you store and use them correctly,”

Kate began. “The most important thing is to read the data sheets, even if you’ve used these products or similar products before, to make sure you use them in the right way and get the most out of them.” Changes can sometimes be made to product specifications, so even if you’ve used them before, it’s worth checking again. For example, the Bovigen Scour vaccine previously had a 10-hour shelf life

after broaching, which has now been extended to 10 days. This is very beneficial knowledge from a management point of view. Some key advice for using scour vaccinations include knowing your calving dates to ensure it’s given to cows at the right time. Bovigen Scour should be given 12–3 weeks before calving. “Particularly for your block calving herds, it is important to batch the

a long time between picking it up from the vets and getting it home If you are using injection guns, calibrate them first and make sure they are serviced regularly to ensure dosing is correct.

Calf management As we know, vaccines are not a silver bullet and when it comes to calf scour vaccines, colostrum management is absolutely key to ensure the immunity is passed from the dam to her calf – as is minimising the challenge that they face through good hygiene. “What’s also important to remember with vaccination is that it boosts the immunity of the individual animals, but it also reduces the challenge as well, because it’s reducing the shedding. So that helps from both the challenge and immunity side,” Kate pointed out. With colostrum management, it’s very important to focus on the six Qs: • Quantity • Quality (testing it before you feed it) • Quickly (ideally within the first two hours after birth) • Quietly, to reduce stress, which can affect absorption of antibodies • sQueaky clean • Quantifying (monitoring the success of your colostrum management and transfer of immunity – routinely testing calves for total proteins is the simplest way to do this). When it comes to hygiene, think about every step of the process, from where the calves are born right through to where they end up in the calf house, and everything in between. This includes how they’re transported from the calving yard

to calf housing, for example in a wheelbarrow – ensure this is as clean as it can be. This goes for feeding equipment too – if you are tubing calves, make sure you don’t use the same tubes for feeding electrolytes and feeding healthy calves their colostrum. “It’s making sure that you have a really robust cleaning and disinfecting process protocol, and making sure the disinfectant you choose is effective against all the most common causes of scour – for example, not everything kills cryptosporidium.” Finally, minimising stress levels is important for immune function. “Ideally, not making too many management changes to them at any one time, for example change of diet or social groups, transporting them, and any handling events like castration, dehorning, vaccination, etc. They would all be stress points, so try to minimise those, but if you do have to do them, minimise the stress as much as possible,” Kate said.

Supports scouring lambs as an effective oral rehydration therapy. It can also be used proactively to support calves that are potentially at risk of stress or infection e.g. • if slow to suckle • when in contact with other scouring animals • weaning or feed change • from handling and transportation

What farmers tell us: “We have used Rehydion successfully for many years. It is easy to administer as it can be diluted in milk, which means there is no interruption to milk feeding.”

Vaccination and treatment Bovigen Scour provides protection against three of the most common infectious causes of scour: rotavirus, E coli and coronavirus. Whereas Kriptazen, which is halofuginone is licensed for treatment and prevention of Cryptosporidium parvum, so both products can be used together. Bovigen Scour is given to the dam when she’s pregnant, to raise antibodies in her colostrum which is passed to the calf. Kriptazen is fed to the calf itself to prevent or treat crypto. If you’re using it as a preventative, it’s given within 48 hours of birth, whereas treatment is given within 24 hours of developing diarrhoea. FG

Rehydion is an oral rehydration therapy gel that provides sufficient essential electrolytes to correct acidosis and still allows continued milk feeding (when given at the recommended levels), as it does not disturb milk clot formation or delay abomasal emptying1.

BIG DATA AND AI IN THE DAIRY INDUSTRY Armin Pearn, head of data science at Dairy Data Warehouse, explains how big data and AI are transforming the dairy industry, what you need to know about using it, and what the future may hold.

How is big data and AI being used in dairy? A. Big data and AI are helping the industry move from reactive to proactive management. Farms and consultants now have tools to predict herd health challenges, optimise breeding decisions, and improve feed efficiency. For example, predictive models can identify cows at risk of disease before symptoms appear.

Can you tell us about Dairy Data Warehouse? A. Dairy Data Warehouse is a Dutch

chain – to give some examples: • Genetics: Providing reliable herd data to support smarter breeding strategies • Cow monitoring: Giving herd data driven context to sensor triggered alarms • Nutrition and feeding: Supplying data from and providing context to feeding software data out of the herd management software • Consultants and service providers: Giving advisors a full herd overview for easy identification of key focus areas for their dairy farm clients. In each case, we help farms and their partners improve profitability and efficiency while reducing environmental impact.

ARE YOU IN A RUT WITH LAMBING? It’s easy to switch to autopilot when you lamb year after year, and end up doing exactly as you always have done. As lambing season is almost upon us, Greg Taylor of Westpoint Farm Vets says now is a good time to think about some small changes to make life easier. Preparation for your sheep: Make sure sheep are in good condition and try to avoid any sudden changes in their nutrition. This may require grouping ewes that are carrying multiples and any that have a lower condition score to increase their

feed intakes during pregnancy. Remember to plan for the nutritional requirements postlambing too; this is vital for good quality milk and the growth rates of your crop of lambs. After a dry season like we have experienced this year, it is especially important to consider testing for trace element deficiencies and consider sending in dung samples for worm egg counts. Keep up-to-date with vaccinations so ewes are boosted at the optimal time for the best quality colostrum. Preparing your lambing area:

Revising your layout can have a big impact – saving climbing over 10 hurdles a day or walking an extra 1,000 daily steps will make a huge difference over time. Lambing pens must be easily accessible, quick to put up and easy to keep clean. Make it as easy as possible to check up on animals and provide their feed, water and bedding requirements with as little effort for yourself and as little stress as possible to the animals. Keep all the provisions you will need in an area where you can get to

them quickly and easily and make sure you are stocked up with all your medicines, lube, ropes, colostrum etc. and a lambing snare. Preparing yourself: Make sure everything is organised beforehand and you are well rested before the long nights begin. You want your lambing area to be as comfortable as possible – have a comfortable seat like an old sofa where you can rest those weary legs and aching back for a few minutes, and most importantly have a station set up to easily make a good brew and grab a snack to enjoy while you catch your breath before getting back to work. Ideally you should be able to observe what is happening with the animals just in case your intervention is required immediately. It won't take much time, but a quick assessment of these areas and any others that come to mind while you do it could really help you in the months to come. FG Greg Taylor.

WAITROSE COMMITS TO ENTIRELY

FREE-RANGE PORK SUPPLY CHAIN North Farm Livestock, a leading UK free-range pork producer, has been increasing the size of its operation this year after Waitrose committed to 100% free range own-label British pork by 2027 – a global supermarket first. Since 15th October, all pork mince, steaks, chops and joints in Waitrose have been from freerange farms. Waitrose is committed to all its own brand pork products being free range by 2027, meaning those pigs will have spent their entire life outdoors. “We believe that happy pigs make the best pork. Our commitment to 100% British free range across all our Waitrose products reflects our dedication to providing our customers with unbeatable quality, taste, and value with values. When you choose Waitrose pork, you’re not just choosing a meal; you’re choosing ethically raised, delicious British produce and truly backing British farmers who share our values.” comments Charlotte Di Cello, chief commercial officer at Waitrose. “This isn't just about happy pigs; it's about happy customers and farmers too. Waitrose is investing in British pig farming over the next decade, ensuring top-tier animal welfare standards and delivering tasty, high-quality pork at great value.” Waitrose says it’s already a leader in free range pork, representing 55% of the UK market. This new commitment solidifies Waitrose’s position at the forefront of animal welfare and quality. The succulent, flavourful free-range pork available at Waitrose has come from pigs that have spent all their days outdoors, roaming freely and enjoying a natural lifestyle. “We’re proud to work with dedicated British farmers who share our passion for animal welfare,” adds Jake Pickering, head of agriculture for Waitrose. “These farmers are the heart of our business, and we’re committed to supporting them in delivering exceptional pork. “We’re thrilled to say that if you pass a field and see pigs being reared outside, they are likely

to be happy Waitrose pigs, raised and cared for by our brilliant farmers.”

Producer boosts operation North Farm Livestock, the UK’s leading free-range pork producer, has been increasing the size of its operation this year to deliver this commitment. “We have seen tremendous growth this year. It just keeps coming!” says Michael Baker, who owns North Farm Livestock alongside his brother Ian. The family-run business, which they run alongside their respective sons, Matthew and Todd, has recently been nominated for Outdoor Producer of the Year at the upcoming National Pig Awards alongside nominations in other categories. Michael Baker, co-owner of North Farm Livestock. They are continuing to partner with new landowners and estates who are interested in having free-range pigs on their farms. The family explain: “We have heard from so many farmers and landowners who are looking at the prices they are receiving for their crops and realising they need to add something else to their farm. They are so passionate about producing food and having a working farm but they also need something which is going to bolster their bottom line. That’s where North Farm Livestock and our pigs come in.” “Anyone can pay rent,” adds Michael, speaking with a passion clearly shared by the whole leadership team, “but we know that our success is built upon the relationship we have with the landowner and the service we provide to them.” The team explain how they drill a grass mix prior

10-year deal Waitrose’s commitment forms part of a new 10-year deal with Pilgrim’s Europe, building on a 30-year relationship which has seen the retailer continually set the benchmark for the UK pork industry. “Pilgrim’s Europe is proud to extend our partnership with Waitrose for another decade," said Nick Robinson, chief commercial officer at Pilgrim’s Europe. "This new agreement is a testament to the progress we’ve made together in driving positive change within the industry. We remain fully committed to providing consumers with the highest quality pork while ensuring the welfare of animals, supporting British pig farmers and contributing to a more sustainable future for the industry.” FG

WHERE IS THE UK’S SLURRY SPREADING INDUSTRY HEADING? With restrictions on spreading windows and future application method control, plus increasing fertiliser prices, high output reliable tankers is where the UK’s slurry spreading industry is heading, according to Agri Industry Solutions (AIS). Veenhuis has perfected its two main ranges; the Profiline and the Premium Integral tanker range, according to UK importer, Agri Industry Solutions (AIS). The Profiline comes as a vacuum tanker or positive displacement rotory lobe-based tanker, while the Premium Integral is a non-vacuum pumped tank for increased throughput. Grabbing every efficiency in your slurry spreading operation is where the real gains and cost savings take place. Veenhuis tankers offer a wide range of volumes, several axle configurations and a huge options list to ensure your machine matches and optimises your operation. Efficient loading is guaranteed, with a wide range of docking arms, crane arms or front mounted tractor docking, together with the correct turbo fill systems. Once you are spreading, tankers are equipped with turbo unloads ensuring a consistent field performance is achieved to match the loading. From a user perspective, the ranges offer a very comfortable ride with hydraulic suspension and drawbar, easy Isobus control, auto greasing, tank mixing and weight transfer systems to maintain traction. Looking after the soil is just as important as getting the slurry on, so AIS explains that the Profiline range can carry some of the biggest rubber footprints of any tanker – and this can be combined with extending axles to ensure the weight is distributed off the tractor path. You can even have the single axle quadtrack with four wheels across, the outer of which can extend, keeping the footprint as light as possible.

Spreading options The tanker’s robust 4-point linkage enables a variety of spreading options, allowing up to a 15m Fullject X-Line disk injector to be mounted, or cultivation injectors, together with dribble bar

and trailing shoe options. This variety of options means that the machine can be used efficiently throughout the cropping year to maximise the spreading opportunities. The Veenhuis range of injectors covers every spectrum and has done since the 1970s. Thanks to constant innovation, AIS says the Veenhuis injectors offer the "most accurate slurry distribution on the market, catering for all price ranges".

Available options The new Fullject X-Flow: The latest injector to be launched. The X-Flow offers a lightweight disc injector, appropriate for grassland or arable crop injection. It is offered from 6–15m working width. The ‘X’ design of the injector leg elements and hydraulic pendulum control means that there are 40% fewer wearing parts and 33% less lubrication points than the previous model, whilst maintaining the best contouring travel attributes. The ‘X’ Line is equipped with massive 350mm diameter triple plated self-sharpening discs, with pneumatic drip stop and is available with automatic section control. This new design offers long service life with improved accuracy and quality of placement of the slurry, truly making

the most out of your digestate/slurry. The Ecoject: The starting range for shallow disc injection for grassland or arable crop injection, giving great performance at an affordable price, running on low maintenance leaf spring legs with a 300mm diameter cutting disc, hydraulic dripstop, and large 60mm outlets together with the Veenhuis cutting distributor, to ensure an even spread with no blockages. The ‘Terraject’: A tined injector to cater for all land management requirements. These are available in varying widths and number of rows of legs and equipped with varying crumblers on the back. They are also available with section control. The TerraDisc: A cultivation set of injection discs. These are available in varying widths and number of rows of legs and equipped with varying crumblers on the back. They are also available with section control. All Veenhuis injectors are compatible with its own tankers or indeed third-party tankers. There is great integration with most of the self-propelled tankers on the market to ensure sectional control is merely a plug-in exercise. Veenhuis also has its own real-time nutrient monitoring system – the Nutriflow – which is used to regulate your manure applications to ensure an accurate application every time. The Veenhuis tankers and applicators can also integrate with John Deere’s Harvest lab, if clients already have a unit and wish to utilise it. FG

Steps forward Agri Industry Solutions (AIS) says it is seeing a greater uptake of the higher-end machines, commenting: "The build quality, the improved efficiencies in terms of time saving on tractor run hours etc, and the length of service one of these machines will give you, means the whole life cost is vastly reduced compared to a more basic machine." Veenhuis is part of the SV Group – the other half of which is Schuitemaker, another high-end forage and feeding brand. AIS explains that it has continued to grow its support network for the machines by purchasing an engineering firm, allowing the business to provide UK specialist knowledge of the products to its dealers and customers direct. AIS will showcase something new to the forage scene at LAMMA, aimed at both improving efficiency, depreciation costs and bolstering health and safety.

Labour-saving drag hose equipment

The constant growth of biogas plants and larger dairy herds in the UK is pushing the demand for more efficiency and performance from drag hose equipment in the country, explains Wox Agri Services. The company says it is well placed to be able to supply equipment to the sector with a range of

trailed and mounted reelers for pipe management and handling of all sizes and grades of pipe. The range of reelers is focused on pipe care and user friendliness. To achieve this the drivelines are chain and sprocket free, allowing less downtime and reliability coupled with exemplary performance. Coupled with the supply and production

hvm@dezwaef.uk

of reelers and pipe from Gollmer and Hummel, Wox also recommends Metal 360 shug couplings for the safety and efficiency of the operation – supplying a full range of units from 4–12in. It has taken a long time for the product to be accepted into the marketplace but Wox reckons its strength and reliability – making hose management quicker, simpler and overall a more pleasurable experience for the operator – is reaping rewards. Wox Agri Services also produces a range of PTO and engine driven pump units, catering for the Base farmer units with either Doda or Bauer units fitted, or the renowned Walrus pump units with fully integrated arms and multiple options for mixing and jetting lagoons and storage facilities. Along with the PTO versions, engine versions are fully available with Doda, Bauer and Cornell pump choices. Along with the variants of the pump units, pump materials are being looked at and ‘white’ iron alternatives are being considered more and more for challenging sand-laden manures. Headland management of manures particularly with topdressing of grain is always moving further on as dribble bar accuracy and section shut off is being used in higher strength products and is a must for the professional operator. Looking ahead to 2026 and the LAMMA show in particular, Wox says it expects to come to the market with more labour-saving and higher performing equipment for drag hose applications. FG

From now on, the X-TREM2 will replace the X-TREM slurry tanker after Joskin’s engineers set themselves the challenge to further upgrade the strengths of this tanker’s first version. When the X-TREM slurry tanker was released in 2010, Joskin says it allowed contractors to benefit for the first time from a tanker combining a high-capacity tank, an unparalleled manoeuvrability and large-diameter wheels for a low ground compaction when spreading. Joskin has now further developed this product – keeping all of its initial qualities. The second version now has the same heavy-duty chassis as the Volumetra, also from the Joskin range. From

Available with vacuum, Vacu-Storm or lobe pump

now on, the chassis starts with a 900mm width at the front, which is reduced to 600mm (instead of 760mm previously) at the wheel recess level and up to the back. Two X-TREM2 versions will be available: • D-type X-TREM2 – Compatible with standard 800/60R32 wheels • DXT-type X-TREM2 – Can be fitted with standard wheels with a larger diameter. These two versions will be available in 16,000 litres, 18,000 litres and 20,000 litres. Higher contact surface between the ground and the tyres means the tanker weight is better distributed and tracks are less deep. The compact

Joskin upgrades flagship range

design, due to the integrated chassis, provides a low center of gravity which makes it easier to work with wide spreading booms and also provides a higher driving comfort and stability. Other changes include: • Running gear has changed from HydroTandem to Hydro-Pendul for better ground following and higher maintenance ease • Self-steering axle now on the front axle, not the last to increase manoeuvrability • The drawbar has also been fully redesigned for manoeuvrability and increased steering angle • A linkage is directly integrated in the tank brackets to allow it to work with the widest injectors or booms without any difficulty. Injectors will be hitched to the tanker by a 3-point linkage, instead of a 4-point system as in the past. Additionally, X-TREM2 tankers can be fitted with vacuum, lobe or Vacu-Storm pumps, ranging from the Jurop PNR 155 (15,500-litres/min) to the Jurop DL 250 (25,000-litres/min). For lobe pumps, the Vogelsang VX186-260 (6,000-litres/ min) models will be standard fitted, while the VX186-368Q (9,000-litres/min) will be available as an option. For Vacu-Storm machines, they will combine the above-mentioned vacuum pumps with a 10,000-litre/min Storm centrifugal pump fitted at the drawbar end in order to ensure an optimal distribution of the slurry on large surface areas. All these pumps, which are integrated to the drawbar, will be easily accessible and therefore easy to maintain. FG

MUCK & SLURRY PFC's slurry bags can store up to six months' worth of slurry.

Cost-effective and flexible slurry storage Slurry bags can store up to six months’ worth of slurry, and with stricter regulations it can save you money in the long run, farmer and PFC technical director Andrew Snell explains. Andrew Snell says: “As a farmer, I know firsthand the challenges of managing slurry. With stricter regulations and the risk of hefty fines, it’s crucial to have a reliable storage solution. That’s where slurry bags come in. They’re a costeffective and flexible option that can save you money in the long run.” One family-run dairy in Dorset, for example, was fined £6,000 and ordered to pay £10,158 in costs in October 2025, after cattle slurry

overflowed from a lagoon, polluting a nearby river for over 4km. This incident, which occurred in March 2024, caused significant environmental harm and highlighted the importance of proper slurry management. Similarly, in Somerset, a pig farmer was fined £5,065 for allowing slurry to escape from an illegally constructed lagoon, causing pollution in the Oake Stream. For the same price as a fine, you could have a 450m3 slurry bag installed by the PFC team, Andrew says. These bags can

store up to six months’ worth of slurry, providing ample time to plan your spreading schedule. The cost of delivery and installation is approximately £14,600, which is a fraction of the potential fines for non-compliance, Andrew explains. An Environmental Agency (EA) officer has gone as far as to say that PFC’s bags are the best he has seen in terms of quality, when inspecting a 600m3 bag in Shropshire, the company claims. Investing in a slurry bag not only helps you avoid fines but also protects the environment by preventing pollution. It’s a smart choice for farmers looking to manage their slurry responsibly and cost-effectively, Andrew continues. One of the bonuses you get with slurry bags is that the rain doesn’t add to your slurry the way it does with an uncovered concrete store or lagoon. So, down the line you won’t have to have it covered and deal with overflowing stores like many do when it is a wet and rainy autumn/winter season. “Simply put, slurry bags offer a practical solution to slurry storage challenges. They provide flexibility, compliance, and peace of mind. By investing in a slurry bag, you can avoid costly fines and contribute to sustainable farming practices.” FG Andrew Snell, PFC technical director.

Remote-control engine-driven pump gets update The new latest Teletram 2020 system from Tramspread has been refined from the original which launched four years ago. Tramspread pioneered remote-control systems for engine-driven pump units (EDPUs). The first units, introduced in 2010, allowed an entire umbilical slurry spreading system to be operated and monitored by just one person. Today, Tramspread offers two options: SIL Vision IV is a radio remote control system, whilst Teletram 2020 uses the GSM network. Both are suitable for fitting to the full range of Tramspread EDPUs which all offer many benefits when compared to PTO-driven pumps, including a significant saving in labour and machinery as well as typically using 35% less fuel. Developed in-house by Tramspread, the latest Teletram 2020 system has been refined from the original which was launched over four years ago. It uses the GSM (3G, 4G or 5G) communication network, so operating distance is simply not an issue. The system allows the pump to be controlled at the push of a button from the cab of the applicator tractor and, when coupled with inlet and outlet pressure sensors and flow meters, can also warn of potential issues such as drag hose leaks. When fitted with an optional 360-degree video camera the slurry store and surrounding area can be monitored from the tractor seat or elsewhere. The platform can be accessed via any smart phone, tablet, or computer with an internet connection,

SLURRY SEPARATORS

allowing monitoring by others from the office or whilst mobile, also making it ideal for management tasks and record keeping. Basic Teletram 2020 features include engine protection, start/stop, throttle and divert, fuel-level sensor, pump inlet and outlet pressure, pump flow

monitoring, divert valve, recording of spread/mix hours and slurry volume applied. Options include a 360-degree video camera, air compressor control (including pressure sensing), sponge ball (pig) launcher, transfer mode (monitored unmanned slurry transfer) and nurse tank level sensor. FG

and Ireland sales manager, says: “Scotland is an important market with a broad mix of farmers, growers and contractors who all need to spread manure at the correct times, and with the required accuracy, to maximise applications. “The Lowlander 150 HBD on stand is an ideal contractor machine but is also an option for larger dairy farms and arable producers requiring flexibility to control applications in-house.” Bunning will highlight how its full spreader range can achieve an even and targeted application with every tonne. Manure is a valuable input, rather than a waste product as it may have been considered in the past, so having the ability to apply it accurately, at consistent target rates, and at desired widths, is essential for all farmers. Ben continues: “With weigh cells, operators can enter a target rate into the controller, which the spreader achieves by controlling the floor speed in relation to the tractor’s forward speed. Weigh cells are a factory fitted option on all Bunning spreaders and support with setting up and maintenance is handled by Bunning and its dealer network.” FG

Vacuum scraper boosts efficiency Langdon and Max Turner, of GB Turner & Son in Frome, Somerset, faced a common challenge on their dairy farm – keeping yards clean without adding more labour. Cleaning often meant extra hours, and the cows still weren’t always as clean as they’d like. That changed when Max discovered the BouMatic Vacuum Scraper (BVS) through Tibbs Machinery Solutions. With smartphone control and automated cleaning features, along with its flexibility and water sprinkling for dry conditions, it quickly stood out from other systems. “The phone control and digital map make it so

easy to use,” says Max. “It helps keeps the cows clean efficiently even when it’s drier.” Since installing the BVS, the farm has saved labour time, used 50% less bedding, and seen healthier hooves and cleaner cows. While it’s still early days, the results are promising, and a second unit is planned for his high-yielding group. Customer support has also been a key factor. Tibbs Machinery Solutions has provided “very good” support, helping Max get the most out of the system. “It’s a great product with excellent support,” says Max. “I’ve already recommended it to other farmers.” FG

New slurry applicator launched Vogelsang launched a new UniSpread model at Agritechnica. The new 12m UniSpread will join the existing range to offer an additional option with increased working width. “This model is aimed at farmers and contractors who need a compact solution for spreading liquid manure close to roots. The linkage is available as a dribble

bar and trailing shoe and features Vogelsang’s tried-and-tested folding mechanism behind the drum, making it an easy retrofit to any size of tanker,” explains Vogelsang’s Andy Hayhurst. The trailing shoe model of the new 12m UniSpread will be on show at Agritechnica and will showcase the brand’s DoubleFlow trailing shoe design.

“DoubleFlow halves the row spacing from 25–12.5cm to enable more slurry to be applied more accurately,” adds Mr Hayhurst. The new model features two side support wheels to ensure optimum guidance, and operators can specify an optional piping kit. The UniSpread also benefits from the long-established ExaCut precision distributor.

Geosynthetic lining technology Sean Carr Lining Technology Limited (SCLT) provides an extensive range of geomembrane and associated services across the construction sector. SCLT’s slurry lagoon covers are part of its floating cover line range, made to any size and specification. Covers are rainproof to prevent water ingress, which reduces the loss of nitrogen from the liquid and contamination risk, while maximising storage capacity. Meanwhile, key features of its high-density polyethylene (HDPE) slurry lagoon liners are: high puncture resistance, high strength and durability, withstands heat/cold fluctuations, high impermeability and environmentally friendly.

“The ExaCut ECL will be the standard fitment, but customers can also choose the lower maintenance ExaCut ECQ, which has won awards for its precision. We are seeing a growing demand for flexible linkages that can be adapted to varying terrain and drum sizes, both for retrofitting and for equipping new tankers, so having this available for the new UniSpread will help it fit the different farm systems in the UK,” says Mr Hayhurst. Alongside the UniSpread will be two of Vogelsang’s BlackBird trailing shoe models, to enable a direct comparison, on the Agritechnica stand. The BlackBird Light is available in 12 or 15m working widths and is equipped with two ExaCut ECM distributors without air suction. The Pro version offers the same working widths, and it can be equipped with two precision distributors from the ExaCut series. “We will also be exhibiting the 30m BlackBird and the SwingMax5 Slide trailing shoe linkage with a working width of 24m. It is based on the already well established SwingMax Slide but the height and width has been adapted to meet UK height and width regulations,” says Mr Hayhurst. FG

The company is based in North Wales, but with full UK and overseas operational capacity. Both its management team and field-based resources are experienced and well-trained with a comprehensive knowledge of geomembrane practices and construction processes gained from working on a variety of large technical projects for sector leading businesses. SCLT says it aims to deliver a first-class service to its customers, using high-quality products and workmanship at competitive prices.

MUCK & SLURRY

Farmer impressed with spreader When South Lanarkshire farmer Duncan Allison decided it was time to replace his aging muck spreader, he spent a day at the Royal Highland Show comparing the options. Richard Western’s Delilah D10 vertical manure spreader stood out from the crowd as the strongest build, with a number of appealing design features. Since taking delivery in August, the mixed hill farmer says he’s “incredibly impressed”. Stand-out features include the heavy-duty axle, heavier drive line than others on the market, and a cam clutch rather than a shear bolt, he explained. Additionally, the floor chains are driven by innovative

sprockets which bolt to the drive hubs, making them easy to replace without the usual need to cut out rusted solid driveshaft when worn out. It’s predominantly used for well-composted straw court manure, but Duncan has also tried some fresh court manure through it and said the evenness of spread is “tremendous”. Accuracy of spreading is key for bringing up soil indices and the D10 offers that, he added. It was purchased from Bryson Tractors who Duncan says look after him well. “If there ever is a problem with the machine, you know you’ve got the back up there from them,” he concluded. FG

Flexible hire options available As farms face increasing pressure to manage workloads efficiently while keeping costs under control, machinery hire is becoming an increasingly attractive solution. SW Machinery Hire offers flexible hire options for a vast range of machinery, including muckspreaders and slurry tankers. Based in Wiltshire and operating nationwide, the company runs its own transport fleet. Hire periods range from as little as one day to up to three years, allowing farmers to tailor agreements to suit seasonal workloads or long-term operations. With the cost of machinery ownership continuing to rise, hiring eliminates depreciation and maintenance worries, offers predictable budgeting with fixed costs, and keeps

your working capital free for other business needs. All hire machines are fully serviced and maintained, ensuring maximum performance during busy spreading periods. The hire fleet includes: • Tractors (100–400hp John Deere and Fastrac) • Trailers (flatbed, low-loader, grain, silage, dump and people carrier) • Telehandlers (agricultural and construction spec) • Muckspreaders (rear and side discharge) • Hedgecutters (McConnel 6.5m) • Excavators (1.5–15t) • Tracked dumpers (6.5t, 180-degree) • Gators (electric and 4x4). To discuss your hire requirements, contact the company directly or visit www.sw-hire.co.uk FG

FENDT: ONE TRACTOR THAT CAN DO IT ALL Updates

The Fendt 700 Vario series remains the best-selling range in key European markets, and the Gen7.1 continues that legacy with enhanced performance and efficiency. Introduced in 2022, the Gen7.1 line-up now includes four upgraded models, with the Fendt 724 Vario Gen7.1 standing out thanks to its top speed of up to 60kph. In the independent DLG PowerMix Test, the flagship Fendt 728 Vario set a benchmark for efficiency. Now, the 724 Gen7.1 has matched those top marks and even surpassed the 728 in transport efficiency. This makes it an ideal choice for contractors and arable farms looking for power, flexibility and fuel economy in one versatile package.

Tailored power With four updated models (Fendt 720, 722, 724, and 726 Vario) now covering 203–282hp alongside the Fendt 728 Vario topping out at 303hp, the Gen7.1 range offers tailored power for various workloads. The Fendt DynamicPerformance system adds up to 20hp automatically when needed, without relying on fixed conditions. This ensures consistent output across demanding tasks like PTO work, transport, or soil cultivation. The updated Fendt 726 Vario Gen7.1 output

90-97 Tractors and Tyres.indd 90

has been increased by 7% to 282hp, bridging the gap to the flagship 728 Vario, giving customers more flexibility to choose the right tool for the job. In DLG PowerMix tests, the 724 Vario Gen 7.1 outperformed even the top-tier 728 Vario model in transport efficiency, showcasing its ability to deliver more with less. At 40kph, the 724 consumed just 321g/kWh (+33.8g/kWh AdBlue), compared to the 728’s 332g/kWh (+33g/ kWh AdBlue). At 50kph, the 724 maintained its lead with 324g/kWh (+34.4g/kWh AdBlue) versus the 728’s 336g/kWh, and even at 60kph, the 724 remained more efficient at 326g/kWh (+34.5g/ kWh AdBlue), undercutting the 728’s 338g/kWh. These figures translate to a fuel saving of up to 9%, or approximately 3.7–3.8 litres per 100 tonnekilometres, making the 724 Gen 7.1 the most efficient transport tractor in its class, Fendt says. Tractors in this class spend about half of their operating time in transport – either during harvest or transporting goods. Thanks to its outstanding overall efficiency, the Fendt 724 Vario Gen7.1 can significantly reduce running costs by up to 9%.

From November 2025, all new 700 Vario Gen 7.1 will have Headland Management for obstacles available via the FendtONE terminal, allowing operators to map permanent features like ponds, pylons, or buildings directly on the machine or via FendtONE offboard using the “Teach-in” function. These obstacles can be integrated into headland reference tracks, enabling precise automation with Section Control and TI Auto, even around irregular field boundaries. Looking ahead to June 2026, Fendt WorkGroup will allow multiple machines to operate in synchronised teams within the same field. Machines can share live data including field boundaries, waylines, worked areas, obstacle locations and position tracking. New machines joining mid-task receive all existing data, ensuring consistent operation across the group. The Fendt 700 Vario Gen7.1 integrates advanced safety systems to support operators in high-speed and heavy-load conditions. Once the tractor exceeds 20kph, Fendt Stability Control (FSC) automatically activates, using sensors to monitor lateral acceleration and steering input. It adjusts suspension and damping to reduce chassis roll and suppress rocking, stabilising the tractor during cornering or uneven terrain. Tractor Braking Assist (TBA) monitors brake pedal input and trailer response; if the trailer delays, the system increases hydraulic brake pressure on the tractor’s rear axle to prevent shunting. This is managed via the brake control unit and load-sensing hydraulics. For downhill driving, the hydraulic auxiliary brake uses the tractor’s hydraulic circuit to generate braking force through the transmission and rear axle, slowing the vehicle without engaging the service brake. This reduces wear and maintains consistent braking performance, especially when descending with heavy implements or trailers. The 700 Vario Gen7.1 delivers measurable gains in efficiency, automation and flexibility. With running cost savings of up to 9%, the 724 Gen7.1 sets a new standard in overall performance. The Fendt 700 Vario Gen7.1 is available to order from November 2025 with deliveries starting in Q1 2026, ready for spring. If you need one tractor that can do it all, this is it, Fendt concludes. FG

TRACTORS & TYRES Key improvements

WHAT’S DIFFERENT ABOUT THE MF 8S XTRA? From a quick glance, it may appear that little has changed on the MF 8S Xtra models compared with existing MF 8S tractors, but first impressions can be deceptive… Massey Ferguson launched the MF 8S Xtra – in the process reviving the brand’s iconic Xtra models – this summer to improve reliability and operator comfort, while

addressing some key areas following comprehensive operator feedback. The last time MF had an Xtra line of models was back in 2002 on the MF 8200 series tractors. However, this latest line of Xtra models is much more refined, with features that make the operator’s life more enjoyable. Gareth Goodchild, sales support

manager at Massey Ferguson UK, explains: “MF’s Xtra models are steeped in history, and the new generation of MF 8S Xtra have been designed with feedback from customers, along with building on the reliability and overall performance offered by the original MF 8S.”

Efficiency of the drivetrain and associated parts is where current operators will notice improvements. New fan control software and an optional reversible fan enhance the cooling power of the Xtra models. This not only reduces maintenance requirements, but the new control software can increase engine performance by up to 5% with the associated fuel consumption savings. These savings have been achieved through a redesigned and unobstructed air flow to the fan, allowing it to operate at a reduced rpm than previous models to maintain the same consistent engine temperature. It periodically reverses the air flow to discard debris build up, ensuring the cooling pack can operate at its maximum throughput. The reversible fan option is available for all MF 8S Xtra models and control is through customisable keys of the Multipad joystick, or via the Datatronic 5 terminal. “Although the MF 8S has been well known for its fuel efficiency when paired with our range of

TRACTORS & TYRES transmissions, our customers still require greater efficiency. By making changes to our cooling system, we have reduced fuel use while maintaining operating temperature in the harshest conditions,” says Gareth. All six models employ the sixcylinder 7.4-litre AGCO Power engine as the previous MF 8S tractors used, achieving outputs from 205–305hp, with Engine Power Management boosting outputs by 20hp for all but the flagship, MF 8S.305, model. The four small and mid-range models, from the MF 8S.205 up to MF 8S.265, have three transmission options from the semi powershift Dyna 7, dual-clutch Dyna E-Power, and the continuously variable DynaVT. The top two models – MF 8S.285 and MF 8S.305 – come as standard with the Dyna-VT transmission only. While users of higher spec MF models have been used to decompression spool valve levers, base spec Efficient owners have suffered with pulling stubborn pipes from pressurised valves. However, the decompression levers are now a new option on Efficient spec MF 8S Xtra tractors. Positioned on the valves, the operator can release any built-up pressure from implements’ hydraulic pipes before easily removing.

Cab upgrades As before, operator comfort is a standout feature on the MF 8S range with the Protect-U cab concept and 24cm gap between the bonnet and the cab to reduce, noise, heat and vibration transfer to the operator. This well-liked design now gets an upgraded Entertainment Pack, which provides the operator with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay via a dedicated 6.75in colour terminal on the right-hand rail. This eases the process of making and receiving calls or playing music and podcasts from streaming services. Furthermore, the terminal incorporates a DAB radio and the Entertainment Pack, fitted by the MF By You customisation studio, also features Focal speakers. Gareth says these upgrades offer familiarity and simplify setup. “We know that operators are spending longer in their cabs than ever so having comforts such as Android Auto and Apple CarPlay make it much easier, and safer, to communicate with colleagues.”

Light up Operators working long hours into the night will benefit from the 360-degree lighting package that has filtered down from the MF 9S range.

The LED 360 light option includes 20 ultra-bright LED work lights and provides the MF 8S Xtra with up to 51,500 lumens of lighting power, which is 17,400 lumens more than its predecessor. Other benefits include real-time monitoring through MF Connect. Managers can view live positioning of tractors, monitor fuel levels, keep

track of service intervals and spot any error messages. This can be part of the Proactive Alerts, provided by AGCO and MF, which highlights when a machine needs assistance and raises this with the Beauvais Monitoring Centre and the customer’s local MF dealer. The aim is to diagnose and repair the fault as quickly as possible and with a high level of accuracy. FG

As Tianli continues to expand its global presence, British Rubber remains dedicated to delivering the best tyre technology and customer service, ensuring that professionals across multiple sectors benefit from products built on strength, performance, and technical excellence. FG

HARD-WORKING mudguards Born from a customer request and built on a reputation for innovation, Agriweld’s Mudguard range didn’t start with mass production – it started with purpose. While other brands offered off-the-shelf options, Agriweld says it was asked to deliver something better: tougher, smarter, and properly fit for work. After some serious R&D, the company launched a fully adjustable model to suit all 3-point linkages. Multi-axis adjustment meant a clean fit, no matter the brand. That success drove demand for bolt-on versions, starting with the Fendt ladder hitch, tailored for Series 5–10 Tier 4+ models. From there, Agriweld added the JD 6 Series bolt-on and

FLEXIBILITY DELIVERS ENERGY SAVINGS FOR AG BUSINESS Through Drax’s Electric Assets service, Sundown Products has unlocked £35,000 in annual savings and greater energy flexibility, proving sustainability and efficiency can go hand-in-hand. As the UK moves toward net zero, the role of flexibility in the electricity system has never been more important. With renewable generation increasing, the grid faces new challenges, particularly around supply and demand balance. Businesses that can adapt their operations to respond to this variability are not only supporting decarbonisation but also unlocking new financial value. That’s exactly what Sundown Products, an agricultural manufacturer based in Cambridgeshire, has achieved through its partnership with Drax. The company, which produces premium animal bedding and feed and holds a Royal Warrant, has been a Drax (formerly Haven Power) customer for almost a decade. Now, with support from Drax’s Electric Assets team, it’s saving around £35,000 a year through energy flexibility. “Drax is helping its customers optimise their energy use by delivering fixed, risk-free savings,” says Adam Hall, energy services director at Drax. “Flexibility supports decarbonisation while creating tangible financial benefits; it’s a win-win for UK industry.”

Identifying opportunity The journey began with a detailed operational review. Drax’s Electric Assets team worked with Sundown Products to analyse half-hourly electricity data and understand how its processes aligned with energy market fluctuations. By collaborating with site engineers and understanding production constraints, Drax identified opportunities where Sundown’s operations could become more flexible without affecting output or quality. “We like booking our contracts long-term, and Drax has always offered competitive rates,” says David Cubitt, managing director at Sundown Products. “When they introduced us to their Electric Assets team, we were interested to see what extra value we could find. We’ve been delighted with the results.” Using its proprietary optimisation model, Drax was able to guarantee an annual saving up front, removing financial risk for Sundown. The model combines wholesale trading, cost avoidance, and system stability benefits into a single, easy-tomanage agreement.

Guaranteed value

Flexibility

Flexibility allows businesses to adapt electricity consumption in response to changes in grid demand or market prices. In simple terms, this might mean adjusting the timing of certain energy-intensive processes to take advantage of cheaper, greener electricity when it’s available. Drax’s Electric Assets service makes this seamless. It commits to a pre-defined annual “flexibility value”, giving customers a fixed discount on their electricity costs without the need for complex reconciliation or risk exposure. “Demand flexibility will help shape the future of the energy network,” says Jake Miller, head of electric assets at Drax. “As renewable penetration increases, flexibility provides resilience to the grid and valuable opportunities for our customers.” For Sundown Products, this approach has proven transformative. By adapting its production schedules to align with energy availability, the business not only saves money but also helps balance the UK’s energy system. “We’re a seasonal business,” explains David Cubitt. “If we can turn down in the winter and work longer in the summer when energy is cheaper and more available, that’s a big advantage. The optimisation, combined with 100% renewable electricity, is a significant benefit to us.”

The UK’s rapid decarbonisation has brought both opportunities and new challenges. While renewable generation reduces emissions, its intermittent nature increases volatility in the energy market. This means flexible demand, the ability to reduce or shift Adam Hall, energy usage is an essential services director at Drax. part of maintaining grid stability. Through Drax’s integrated flexibility offering, businesses like Sundown Products can participate in this evolving energy landscape without additional complexity. Drax manages everything from energy trading and demand-side response participation to cost avoidance and reporting while providing a clear, unified view of the savings achieved. By enabling industrial customers to act as partners in the energy transition, Drax is helping to create a more efficient, resilient, and sustainable electricity system for the UK.

Partnership in practice The success of this collaboration also reflects the power of partnership. Working closely with Brownlow Utilities, Sundown Products’ energy consultant, Drax ensured the transition was smooth and fully aligned with the company’s existing contracts. Brownlow Utilities carried out additional audits to help Sundown further reduce costs, including minimising exposure to the Climate Change Levy (CCL) – a non-commodity charge on electricity. “We’re delighted to work alongside Drax,” says Stephen Cross, operations director at Brownlow Utilities. “Together we’ve helped Sundown realise significant savings. Drax’s professional, partnership-based approach makes it easy for customers to get more value from their energy portfolio.”

Looking ahead For Sundown Products, flexibility is now a core part of its energy strategy not just a cost-saving measure. The business plans to build on its success by exploring further optimisation opportunities and continuing its close collaboration with Drax. “We feel good about supporting the grid when it’s needed,” Cubitt adds. “It’s the right thing to do for our business, our customers, and the environment.” With guaranteed annual savings and a clear path toward decarbonisation, Sundown Products’ story demonstrates how flexibility isn’t just a technical concept; it’s a practical solution delivering real value today.

Designed for safer handling The Ceres Linkage-Lift Implement Mover is a strong, safe way of transporting attachments, rather than scratching and gouging, sliding both on and off pallet tines or flailing around on chains, the manufacturer says. The Linkage-Lift uses the Category 3 quick-release linkage system, for Cat 2 and 3 implements up to 4.5t (at pin centre). Lifting directly upwards from the lower arms, rather than the top link pin, attachments are elevated the way they are designed to be, with ease and without damage. The lower lift arms, which are mounted to a floating bar within the frame, and the slotted top link bar are both there to aid smooth coupling and to allow easy and safe removal. The Ceres Bag Buddy is a convenient and easy way to controllably manage fertiliser, seed and feed

bags, far more safely than the “questionable” use of pallet tines, as well as decreasing the risk of damage to lorries, buildings and overhead cables. It is designed with minimal sharp edges to prevent damage to the bags and reduce the risk of hazardous and costly mishaps. The Bag Buddy comes with retaining loops at both ends of each arm, so bags can be quickly secured in adverse weather conditions. FG

Turn your farm into a gateway Farming’s never been easy, but lately it’s felt more like wading through a bog in your best wellies, writes Emily Sutherby, co-founder of Sutherby & Brown. Wetter springs, unpredictable seasons, and rising costs have left many British farmers wondering how to keep their heads above water, and their margins intact. That’s why more farmers are looking beyond the gate. Diversification isn’t just a buzzword; it’s becoming a lifeline. Selling direct to customers is proving to be one of the most rewarding ways to make your business more resilient. People want to buy food they can trust, grown locally.

Direct-to-consumer sales let you tell your story, set your price, and keep more of what you earn. Sutherby & Brown, a dynamic duo that specialise in digital marketing, helps farms do exactly that – building effective websites and bespoke social media plans that showcase what makes your farm unique. Its goal is to turn your produce into profit, without losing the personal touch that keeps customers coming back. If you’ve ever thought: “There must be a better way to sell what I grow”, now’s the time to find out. Get in touch with the company directly for more information. FG

Defining LOLER, PSSR and PUWER • LOLER (Lifting Operations

Maintaining farm buildings If your valuable farm storage buildings and workshops require some maintenance, closed cell spray foam can help with all kinds of issues, according to TAG Insulations. It can reduce heating bills, help to weatherproof, and encapsulate aging asbestos fibre cement roof panels, making the structure up to three times stronger. Additionally, it can assist in sealing leaks, stop delamination of fibre cement and asbestos, and stabilise the structure of the roof, holding loose sheets in place. This type of insulation can reduce condensation, eliminate drafts and greatly improve the

living conditions for horses and livestock. On top of all these benefits, it has the most up-todate fire certification and, for peace of mind, carries an extended life manufacturer’s warranty. TAG Insulation is a UK-wide company specialising in closed cell insulation which it believes is one of the quickest, most cost-effective and efficient ways to insulate agricultural buildings. The spray foam used is an easily applied polyurethane material that sets exceptionally fast meaning the building will not be out of use for a long time compared to other options, TAG concludes. FG

Stay safe when changing wheels WM Agri offers a range of innovative, practical equipment to help improve safety when changing wheels. Trak-Jak: Designed as a safer way to jack up and support the rear of a tractor, using the tractor’s rear linkage, it can be fitted to any wheeled-loader, telehandler or forklift, with attachment to any type of loader. Tire-Grabber: Designed by a farmer, this makes the task of changing large tyres a simple job for one person, taking less than five minutes, rather than being a mammoth team effort. It can be fitted to any wheeledloader, telehandler or forklift, with attachment to any type of loader.

Preparing for IHT rule change

Sprayer-Jak: Wheel changing on self-propelled and trailed sprayers is now safer, quicker and easier. Sprayer-Jak can be remotely operated, removing the operator from the ‘danger zone’ where a wheel or worse could fall on them. It lifts two axles simultaneously, so there’s no need for bottle jacks or axle stands, and will comfortably handle 13 tonnes. Once it lifts axles from the ground, the self-locking mechanism safely secures the sprayer from tipping or becoming unstable. It’s essentially fully mobile with an optional additional wheel kit.

From April 2026 the inheritance tax rules for agricultural relief are changing. Esther Lee, a partner at Thomson Snell & Passmore, shares what we know so far. 100% relief is limited to the first £1 million of agricultural value (which may be lower than market value), with 50% relief on remaining qualifying assets. The £1M cap is shared across all qualifying agricultural and business assets, is not transferrable between spouses or civil partners and will apply to lifetime gifts, trusts and death estates. The cap will renew every seven years, if lifetime gifts are made. The points you should think about now include: • Check how assets are held, in partnership, sole or joint names • Do you have a partnership agreement? Is it up to date? • Get an up-to-date valuation of all assets and their agricultural value • Are your wills fit for purpose? • Do you have insurance in place to cover the extra burden of inheritance tax?

FARM SALE

Fine tractors sell well at Staffordshire sale A genuine farm dispersal sale at Moddershall in Staffordshire attracted strong attendance resulting in high prices. David Williams reports. The on-farm auction arranged for FWH & N Brunt & Sons by auctioneers, Bagshaws took place shortly before harvest. The Brunt family had farmed at Knenhall Farm for more than 35 years, and the sale resulted from dissolution of the farming partnership following the death of Stephen Brunt just over three years ago. Bagshaws auctioneer, Mark Elliott described the enterprise as a renowned dairy and sheep farm with very good quality kit that had been used in a kindly manner and maintained to a high standard.

The farm dispersal sale, arranged and conducted by Bagshaws, was extremely well attended reflecting the reputation of the vendors and the quality of the lots on offer.

This Browns 2.8m mounted flail topper was new in 2018, and in very good condition. It featured hydraulic side-shift, a rear roller and a 540rpm main drive gearbox. Competitive bidding, as seen in the image above, pushed the price to £3,400.

Good weather, high prices The sale day weather was dry and bright and as well as local farmers and trade in attendance, many had travelled from further away and there were also plenty of bids by phone. Highlights included a Houghton Parkhouse tri-axle livestock trailer with a full lift deck and partition. New in 2018 and in excellent order, it sold for £20,100 to a Yorkshire farmer. All the tractors and the farm’s JCB articulated handler also achieved high prices. The auctioneers included Mark Elliott, Oliver Hiles, Natasha Hall and Holly Swift. “It was a cracking sale, well attended and demonstrating support from the local farming community for the Brunt family,” said Mark. “We were delighted to achieve such a great result for the vendors.” FG

The highest price on the day was paid for the most powerful of the three John Deere tractors. The 6155R attracted competitive bidding and eventually sold to a Derbyshire farmer. Just eight years old and with only 2,352 hours recorded, it was in superb order, with its Rea Valley Tractors dealer stickers still attached. The Michelin 650/65R42 rear and 540/65R30 front tyres were in good condition with plenty of tread. The sought after specification included AutoQuad 50kph transmission, cab and front axle suspension, air and hydraulic brakes, three spools, three-speed PTO, a push-out hitch and a Zuidberg front linkage. The winning bid was £64,500.

An impressive winning bid of £9,000 was needed to take home this McHale C460 trailed straw chopper. With electronic controls, a twin ram rear door, rear door controls, a short giraffe chute and a wide-angle PTO, it was in superb condition and looked much newer than its 2013 manufacturing plate suggested.

The New Holland T6010 Delta 2wd was equipped with three spools, a two-speed PTO, a Sauerman push-out hitch and an air suspension seat. Carrying an 07-plate and with 5,947 recorded hours, it achieved £20,800.

One of the stars of the sale, this John Deere 6330 Premium was registered on a 12-plate and had been on the farm from new. It had air conditioning, cab suspension, an air suspension seat, PowerQuad 40kph transmission, three spools, three-speed PTO, a push-out hitch, front fenders and was on 18.4R38 rear and 16.9R24 front wheels and tyres. The tractor had worked only 2,407 hours and it was bought by a farmer and his son based just six miles from the sale site, and driven home. The winning bid was £46,400.

Sold mid-grass harvesting season, this Kverneland 8576 six-rotor mounted tedder featured hydraulic folding, a 540rpm gearbox and wide jockey wheels. It was a 2017 model in very good condition and sold for £8,500.

Little used, this 2014 Krone Swadro 800/26 trailed, twin-rotor rake had a 540rpm drive gearbox, a centre skirt and four jockey wheels per rotor. Its superb condition easily justified the £12,000 winning bid.

Registered on a 19-plate, this Kubota M4062 4wd had been on the farm from new. Inside and out, it remained tidy having worked only 893 hours. It had a Q-cab, pick-up hitch, electric shuttle, two rear spools, a bonnet guard and front work lights. It was shod on Trelleborg 420/85R30 rear, and 320/85R20 front wheels and tyres, and sold for £21,700.

A Lely Storm 130P trailed forage harvester achieved £12,700. It had arrived on the farm having been used previously only as a demonstration machine and still had its original knives. It was a 2012 model with a hydraulic folding drawbar, wideangle PTO, rear pick-up hitch, additive applicator, 1,000rpm input and electronic controls.

In excellent order, this Storth PTO-driven Deep Pit Slurry Pump suitable for an 8–12ft drop generated a lot of attention and sold for £3,100.

A Trimble EZ-Guide 250 lightbar guidance system with its original box made £610.

This Kverneland SiloKing Premium 14 Diet Feeder had front steps, a wide-angle PTO, Add 11 electronic weighing system and twin side discharge belts. In impressively good condition, it sold for £10,300.

The John Deere 6430 Premium also sold extremely well. With only 3,575 hours recorded since it arrived new on the farm in 2009, it was on 480/70R42 rear and 420/70R24 front tyres, had a PowerQuad 40kph transmission, three spools, threespeed PTO and a push-out hitch. Carrying its AIS dealer stickers, it was bought by a North Yorkshirebased trader for £42,100.

As the image above shows, the farm’s JCB TM320S pivot-steer telehandler attracted a great deal of interest from on-site buyers as well as many bidding by phone. It had been owned from new and carried a 65-plate. The handler had worked 3,385 hours and remained in excellent condition inside and out. It had an air suspension seat, air conditioning, a rear hitch, six-speed transmission and was fitted with a cone and pin headstock, with a third service for powered accessories. It came with a full light package including boom lights and was on Michelin 460/70R24 wheels and tyres. The bidding concluded with potential buyers competing by phone, and it eventually went to Derbyshire for £55,000.

On 30th October 2024, chancellor Rachel Reeves created shockwaves throughout the farming community with her announcement on inheritance tax (IHT) – and a year later, as we approach Labour’s second Budget, the emotional toll on farmers is still plain to see, writes Sarah Kidby. A recent episode of Countryfile, clips of which have spread widely on social media, clearly shows just how deeply British farms are hurting from last year’s announcement, which will see an effective inheritance tax of 20% on farms valued over £1M from April 2026. Fifth generation farmer and cancer sufferer, Charles Rees, broke down in tears on the programme, as his son Tom, who runs the farm, could face a £1M inheritance tax bill on his death. “It’s been hard for me lying in the hospital bed thinking, how am I going to save my farm? And trying to have all this treatment to save my life. And sometimes I think, what the hell are you doing it all for? Because if something doesn’t change by next April, I’d probably top myself.” As well as regular, widespread tractor protests, everyone from MPs, including some within the Labour Party itself, to rural groups and local councils have protested against the tax – warning that it will devastate family farms whilst failing to raise the £520M a year the government wants. A recent CenTax report even concluded that the reforms could be better targeted and recommended a series of changes such as restricting relief to the first £10M of an APR

claim; making the combined allowance transferable between married couples; and removing relief from estates for which farm and business assets are a relatively minor share. Despite this, farming minister Angela Eagle recently squashed speculation that an overturn or tweaks to the proposals could be incoming. Many will be concerned about what the next Autumn Budget could hold – with key fears being that the chancellor could target pensions, or an IHT exemption that allows surplus income to be passed on through regular gifts. Ultimately, nothing is certain and we will have to wait until the 26th November to find out what the chancellor has in store; and we have until April 2026 to see if the government does back down over IHT. But showing its characteristic resilience, the industry has not given up, and numerous go-slow protests are planned for the Day of Unity on 24th November. If you’re struggling with how IHT could impact your farm, reach out for help from an organisation such as the Farming Community Network – its helpline (03000 111 999) is open every day from 7am–11pm.

Terrington pays tribute to founder

New Greencrop sales manager

that his small idea had become so successful and played a big part in making Terrington Machinery Ltd what it is today. Although Brian was officially retired, he remained actively involved in the company. For the last few years, it has been run by his son, David Coleman. His wife, Debbie, is secretary and the company is also supported by the next generation, Steven and Ashley.

New addition to Niab Board Belinda Clarke OBE has been appointed to the Board of the UK crop organisation Niab. Dr Clarke is the director of Agri-TechE, the UK’s longest-established and largest network connecting farmers and growers with researchers, technologists, entrepreneurs and investors. A University of Cambridge graduate, she has a PhD in plant biochemistry following her research on starch production in peas and potatoes at the John Innes Centre. She is a Nuffield Scholar, a Fellow of the Royal Agricultural Councils, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology, a chartered biologist, and a

qualified business coach. Her previous roles include: nonexecutive director of Agrimetrics, formerly one of the UK’s Agri-Tech Centres, a member of the Council of UKRI-BBSRC and a trustee of the Royal Norfolk Agricultural Association (2015-2021). In 2021 Dr Clarke was awarded the Sir Timothy Colman Prize for “outstanding leadership in the agri-tech sector” and she was among the ‘Women of the Year 2022’ cohort. In 2024 she was awarded an OBE for services to agritechnologies and farming in the King’s Birthday Honours List.

Richard Davis has joined Greencrop Ltd as UK sales manager. Richard has a strong background of 13 years in the livestock, butchery and meat trade, coupled with a formal qualification in agricultural engineering. His mix of practical industry knowledge and technical expertise means he is wellplaced to

support Greencrop’s customers and dealer network, the company says. Based locally in Norfolk, Richard will be working across sales and customer support, developing new opportunities, and helping the business to continue to grow its presence in the UK agricultural machinery sector. You can contact Richard on 07881 787997 or email him via richard@ greencrop.co.uk

Terrington Machinery has paid tribute to its late founder, Brian Coleman, who passed away on 29th September, aged 81, leaving behind his wife, three children, five grandchildren and one greatgrandchild. After 25 years as a farm and growing manager, Brian got an opportunity to supply machinery to the horticultural and vegetable sector, and set up Coleman Enterprises – the original trading name of Terrington Machinery. In 1991 he was approached by Austrian company Einböck, which was looking for a UK importer. Terrington Machinery currently cooperates with over 60 dealers, with thousands of machines sold and delivered to dealers and customers around the country. Mr Coleman’s family said they are very proud
