Editor’s View

Price-per-acre falls as smaller farms sell up The farm sales statistics for the first half of 2026 make sobering reading. The figures, released by Strutt and Parker and widely quoted in the national media, show that 177 farms were put up for sale from January to June. That’s the highest number for any six month period since 2007. The economics of supply and demand dictate that when there is greater availability of a commodity – in this case, land – the price will drop. And that is indeed what we are seeing, with the year-on-year values of arable ARABLE LAND land and pasture PRICED FARMS PUT UP land dropping LOWER IN THE FOR SALE IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE by 6% and 3% FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR YEAR COMPARED respectively.

According to analysis by the Financial Times, the number of land sales to farmers is on the rise and the acreage being snapped up by private investors and lifestyle buyers has fallen off since its peak in 2022. The inheritance tax reforms no doubt play their part in putting some people off investing in land. The farmers who are buying and the farmers who are selling are not equally distributed by size of farm. The direction of sale is very much one way with smaller farms being bought out by bigger farms. With indications that 2026 may shape up to be one of the worst harvests on record, farmers making a loss on drought-stricken cereals may be weighing up the incentives of selling land. Farmers were gathering in the crops while the Whitehall circus was on its lengthy summer recess. As the politicians and their new leader return to Parliament with a message of delivering visible change in all the postcodes, it will be instructive to note whether, this time, rural addresses are included in that promise.

GRAIN & FERTILISER update

Could SFI cash be a false economy? 'Several years into SFI, what are farmers really thinking about it?' asks Openfield’s head of research compliance and shipping, Cecilia Pryce. After the harvest we have had and the summer of lack of rain post June, matched with fires and tinder dry conditions, is it time to step back and ask if all the schemes are working as anticipated? How many of you are questioning your SFI actions last year and wondering if any of them affected your yields or was the yield purely a function of water? I have heard so many differing views around issues with cover crops, with not applying inputs leading to disease and infestation, and that’s before we discuss the amount of thistle seeds flying around the countryside. Fortunately, the quality of most of the grain that Cecilia Pryce, head of research, we have compliance & shipping. seen seems to be relatively good, although as we all know if all grain is great quality, it erodes the milling premium, with the current levels almost an insult to growers. But if it had been a more standard ‘weather’ year how many of you would really have reached your anticipated or 5-year average yields, and if the harvest hadn’t been so dry what sort of quality would we be facing, would the protein levels be anywhere near what they are? Would the milling premiums be so low? Would your untreated farm saved seed have performed or would disease have played a large part in yield erosion? It’s tough but with inputs being so expensive relative to grain prices what does your plan for next year look like and does the SFI cash and restricting inputs really help or do they start to hinder yield and become a false economy? At the time of writing, there is little confidence in the size of the UK’s 26/27 wheat crop, will we be lucky to have a marginally bigger crop than

2025/26? One thing for certain is that we will need imports of wheat. Milling tonnes may drop, due to enough availability and the functionality of the UK crop but domestic demand will exceed supply especially with such a dry summer and the demand for livestock feed. This need for feed and yet another small harvest should be a wake-up call for Government to take a serious look at all the schemes on farm and work out how much arable land we as a country need to be productive. They could also look at the fact that the EU-27 will be short of around 26 million tonnes of cereals year on year also due to weather, while Russia remains the world’s largest wheat exporter. I don’t believe the UK arable industry needs funds to increase innovation and efficiency; it just needs land being used to grow crops by farmers who can afford to do so – call it an investment into the long-term sustainability of UK Agriculture without SFI. Most farmers know how to farm in a sustainable way. Much has changed from the days of ripping out hedges and spraying anything that moved. It’s important for everyone to realise that inputs have a purpose in life, it would be very difficult to achieve clean crops which comply with legislative maximum residue levels and toxins without using chemistry and inputs. It’s also very difficult to guarantee a reasonable yield without giving crops the best inputs possible. Yes, weather is a vital component but if we carry on the way we are before long the investment needed to keep UK agriculture alive will get bigger and we will be back to the Agricultural policies of the early 90s or worse still: ‘dig for victory’.

By measuring the nutrients removed in the harvested crop, it provides a clear picture of nutrient uptake, crop performance and overall nutritional balance. Openfield’s fertiliser Suitable for trader, Gemma King. cereals, oilseeds and pulses, it helps growers understand how effectively crops have utilised available nutrients throughout the season. The results can identify hidden nutrient deficiencies or excesses that may not be visible in the field, allowing fertiliser programmes to be refined using real crop data rather than assumptions. This supports nutrient use efficiency, stronger crop performance and greater yield potential while helping optimise input costs. When combined with soil sampling and other agronomic tools, grain nutrient analysis provides a more complete picture of soil fertility and crop nutrition. This approach helps growers make informed decisions, optimise nutrient management, improve long-term soil health and productivity, and support more sustainable, profitable farming for future seasons.

NEWS IN BRIEF Protect livestock from BTV-3, says NFU Vaccination is the strongest defence available to livestock farmers who are battling the growing threat of the bluetongue virus serotype 3 (BTV-3) which is spreading at an alarming rate across the UK, the NFU has said. Hundreds of confirmed cases have already been recorded in England and Wales during the current vector season. Animals are being tested following reports of suspicious

Dairy brand supports farm charity British dairy brand All Things announced a partnership with RSABI, committing 1% of revenue from its cottage cheese range to the Scottish agricultural charity. RSABI provides practical, emotional and financial support to Scottish farmers, crofters, farm workers and their families. Its confidential services range from counselling and regular telephone support to financial assistance, business reviews and support following illness, injury or bereavement. The All Things cottage cheese range has quickly become one of the brand’s breakout launches, selling more than 1 million pots in its first four months. CEO & co-founder of All Things, Toby Hopkinson said: “The people working across agriculture are fundamental to everything we do, but the pressures they face are often unseen. The team at RSABI gives practical support when it matters most, and we want the growth of our cottage cheese range to contribute directly to that.” The cottage cheese is available from selected retailers including Sainsbury’s, Ocado, Waitrose and Morrisons.

clinical signs. The south west, including Devon and Cornwall, is a particular hotspot for the disease. Hot, dry weather created favourable conditions for biting midges, the insects that spread BTV-3. NFU Acting Livestock Board Chair Clare Wise said: “Bluetongue poses a serious and growing threat to the UK livestock sector and it’s not going away any time soon. “This disease can have

serious consequences for cattle, sheep and other ruminants, affecting animal health, productivity, movement and trade, while also creating considerable stress and financial pressure for livestock farming businesses. “As the disease continues to spread at an alarming rate, it’s important to assess the risks and consider all the tools available by speaking to the farm vet.”

Heavy duty boosters CTEK has launched two new heavy-duty portable battery boosters – the RB3000 and RB4000 – designed specifically for larger petrol and diesel engines, including tractors, 4x4s, utility vehicles and other agricultural machinery. Delivering up to 3000A and 4000A of starting power, they’re built to get heavy equipment back into operation quickly and help minimise costly downtime. The new boosters are particularly valuable for

seasonal machinery that may have been standing idle for weeks or months before being called back into service. Whether bringing tractors out after winter storage or getting ATVs and utility vehicles back into operation, the RB3000 and RB4000 provide the confidence that equipment can be started quickly without waiting for assistance. UK sales manager at

CTEK, Mark Poole said: “For anyone working in agriculture, downtime isn’t just frustrating – it costs money. During harvest or other busy periods, a vehicle that’s out of action because of a flat battery can quickly have a knock-on effect across the whole operation.”

UK Agricultural Tractor Registrations – July 2026

AS110447

Continuing the trend for 2026, the number of agricultural tractors registered in the UK in July was higher than during the same month last year. UK tractor registrations were 6% higher in July 2026 than in July 2025. However, the rate of increase was the lowest so far in 2026, with 6% more

tractors licensed than in July 2025, bringing the monthly total to 934 machines, according to the Agricultural Engineers Association. That level was around 6% below the average for the time of year during the previous five years, in line with the shortfall recorded in the first half of the year. Registrations for the

year to date are around 20% higher than in the opening seven months of 2025 and were also higher than in January to July 2024. Month: 934 Units +6.1% change (compared with July 2025) Year to Date: 6,889 Units +19.8% change (compared with JanuaryJuly 2025)

NEWS IN BRIEF Vehicles supplied and driven by local farmers helped create firebreaks to contain the fire. Photo credit: Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service.

Farmers lend a hand in major wildfire fight Farmers have been praised for helping firefighters tackle major wildfires across the country. Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service has thanked local farmers for helping to create firebreaks during the wildfire at Dunwich Heath. The blaze broke out on the afternoon of Wednesday 29th July and was immediately classified as a major incident. A spokesperson for the Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service said: “Local farmers have been helping with the response by providing specialist equipment, such as

diggers to create firebreaks, as well as tracks to enable crews and appliances to access more difficult-to-reach areas.” As fires spread across farmland and open countryside, Essex farmers worked alongside firefighters by bringing tractors, water bowsers and other specialist equipment to incidents, as well as creating firebreaks to stop the spread of fire and protect neighbouring land. In one incident, three neighbouring farmers responded to a call for assistance from a fellow farmer, bringing machinery and water bowsers to

support firefighting efforts. Working together, they helped create vital fire breaks, supplied water to crews and prevented the fire from spreading further. Area manager Dave Bond said that the support the service has received from Essex’s farming community has been outstanding. “Time and again, farmers have stepped forward to help, not just to protect their own land, but to help their neighbours and support our firefighters. “Their tractors, water bowsers and specialist equipment have made a real difference on the incident

ground. By helping us create fire breaks and providing additional water supplies, they’ve enabled us to surround fires more quickly, reduce the number of fire engines needed and bring incidents under control sooner.” Mr Bond added that this has been a “fantastic example of communities working together”. Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service also thanked local farmers for their role in preventing the spread of the blaze which broke out near Market Drayton on Saturday afternoon, 1st August.

A spokesperson for Market Drayton Fire Station said: “On arrival, firefighters discovered approximately 30 square metres of standing crops on fire. “The farmers who were on scene had acted quickly, using agricultural machinery to create an effective firebreak around the affected area. Their swift actions played a vital role in preventing the fire from spreading further. “A big thank you to the farmers for their quick thinking and assistance, which helped bring the incident to a safe conclusion.”

Breeding ewes average £220/head Almost 15,000 sheep were sold at Thame Sheep Fair in Oxfordshire on 6th and 7th August, with average prices notably higher on the year. Buyers were keen to secure breeding ewes as sheep supplies remain tight across the UK, while high finished lamb prices further underpinned demand. Senior auctioneer Simon Draper said the sale achieved a clearance rate of 95.3%, with more than £3.3m worth of stock sold. North Country Mule theaves averaged £281/head, up by £74 on the previous year. Meanwhile, North Country Mule ewes averaged just shy of £200/ head, almost £35 higher than last year. Suffolk-cross North Country

Mule theaves enjoyed a strong trade, averaging £269/head and achieving a top price of £330/head. There were fewer older ewes this year, according to Mr Draper, as most had been sold in the weekly fat markets due to high cull ewe prices. Store lambs were up £11.50 on the year, averaging £115/head and selling to a top price of £145/head. Mr Draper added that store lambs were the best trade the sale had ever seen, which is surprising given the limited grazing available because of the drought. Richard Roff, chairman of Thame Farmers Auction Mart, said: “We had a very successful two days and it was wonderful to see both old and new clients, as well as to welcome back some of our Welsh buyers.” FG

BETASEED VARIETIES continue to lead the way The time has arrived to make your sugar beet seed choices for the 2027 drilling season. Betaseed is once again offering a strong portfolio of varieties designed to deliver high yields, excellent sugar content and robust disease resistance.

BTS SMART 4960 N CO M PETITIVE & FLE XIBLE A LS PACK AG E Tolerance: Rhizomania & CONVISO © ONE

High adjusted tonnes: 93.4% treated High sugar content: 17.53% (one of the best available in the ALS sector) Good disease resistance profile: Rust (6.0) / PM (6.0)

For the 2027 season, growers can choose from four varieties, including two conventional options and two BTS SMART varieties. All four will be available exclusively through the Seed Working Group and can be ordered now.

BTS 1915 BTS 1915 continues to set the benchmark for sugar beet performance. As the top-yielding variety on the BBRO Recommended List, it delivers exceptional adjusted tonnes alongside consistent performance across a range of growing conditions. A strong disease resistance package helps maintain crop health throughout the season, protecting yield potential through to harvest. Since first reaching the top of the Recommended List in 2020, BTS 1915 has demonstrated outstanding consistency. Its longevity at the top reflects its yield performance and the stability of its agronomic characteristics through a variety of seasons, including periods of significant disease pressure and challenging weather conditions.

BTS 7870

BETASEED. SIMPLY DIFFERENT. 12-13 Arable.indd 12

BTS 7870 is an excellent choice for growers concerned about virus

yellows. In BBRO virus yellows trials, it ranked as the second-highest performing variety, while also delivering the highest sugar content among the virus yellows varieties tested. This combination of strong yield retention and excellent sugar production makes BTS 7870 a valuable option where farms want to reduce their virus yellows risk.

BTS SMART 8565 BTS SMART 8565 offers growers an impressive combination of performance and crop security. Delivering high adjusted tonnes and a sugar content of 17.5%, it provides strong economic returns while also offering one of the best disease resistance profiles among ALS-tolerant varieties available for 2027. This helps support crop health and protect yield potential throughout the growing season.

BTS SMART 4960 N BTS SMART 4960 N combines high adjusted tonnes with an impressive sugar content of 17.53%. Supported by a strong disease resistance profile, it offers growers a dependable BTS SMART variety capable of delivering consistent performance and strong financial returns.

ARABLE strong disease resistance profile helps maintain a healthy green canopy, allowing the crop to continue growing throughout the autumn and right through to the end of the campaign.” The experience at A.R. Craven Farms reflects the wider industry confidence in BTS 1915. Its ability to maintain a healthy canopy later into the season enables crops to continue accumulating sugar and yield when conditions allow. As a result, BTS 1915 holds a strong place on farm across a range of lifting dates once the early drilling window for bolting risk has passed.

Disease resistance delivers results

Proven performance in the field As the 2026 sugar beet campaign approaches and factory opening dates draw closer, the Betaseed team has been visiting growers to review crop performance through another challenging season. Across the country, Betaseed varieties have again demonstrated why they remain a popular choice for commercial sugar beet growers. One example comes from A.R. Craven Farms near Boston, Lincolnshire. Tom Craven, alongside Andrew and James Craven, grows more than 300 hectares of sugar beet and operates a large haulage fleet supplying both the Newark and Wissington sugar factories. Tom explains: “We have grown BTS 1915 since it was introduced to the Recommended List as the top-yielding variety, and we continue to choose BTS 1915, particularly for our later-lifted crops. The variety’s

Disease resistance continues to be an important consideration when selecting a variety. Recommended List scores highlight the strength of BTS 1915’s disease package. Strong disease resistance, combined with a robust and timely fungicide programme, helps maintain a healthy green canopy for longer. This allows the crop to continue intercepting sunlight, producing energy and accumulating sugar later into the autumn, supporting higher yield potential and maximising adjusted tonnes at harvest.

Looking ahead to 2027 The 2026 growing season highlighted the importance of selecting proven, high-performing varieties. Whether growers are focused on maximum yield, virus yellows tolerance, BTS SMART technology or strong disease resistance, Betaseed’s 2027 portfolio offers a variety to suit every requirement. As sugar beet contracts are finalised and seed orders are placed for the 2027 crop, BTS 1915 continues to lead the way, supported by the strong performance of BTS 7870, BTS SMART 8565 and BTS SMART 4960 N.

Sugar beet seed direct from the breeder Challenging conditions provide vital feedback for plant breeders looking to ensure their varieties, both new and well-established, are tailored to the specific needs of the UK industry. Sesvanderhave, now part of the UBS group, is closely monitoring the performance of crops across its extensive series of trials covering all the main sugar beet growing areas. In addition to its own trial plots, the specialist breeder is drawing on extensive technical data generated from commercial-scale trials conducted by more than 70 Club SV members, where early-generation material is assessed under commercial growing conditions. “Challenging growing conditions, whether driven by climate, pest or disease, can provide vital feedback to the plant breeder, ensuring the varieties we offer are all well adapted to the diverse and variable growing conditions found across the UK,” said George Hunter, who was recently appointed as Sesvanderhave’s UK country manager. Reflecting on last season’s harvest, Mr Hunter pointed out the success that growers had enjoyed: “Results from last harvest showed exceptional performance from our most popular varieties, such as Antler. Many of our customers and Club SV members recorded yields of 100 tonnes/hectare and more. With increasingly tight margins, high yields are critical to the profitability of the crop.” “We introduced direct sales in 2024 and it has proved popular with many growers. Selling directly to the farmer gives us a much clearer understanding of the seed requirements for the UK market, enabling us to maximise the availability of high-quality fresh seed each year. In addition, we now process all our seed in-house, allowing us to draw on decades of expertise in priming, pelleting and seed treatment combinations in order to deliver the highest standards of quality and performance.” The Sesvanderhave offer for 2027 sowing includes proven varieties such as Antler and Gadwall together with the BCN tolerant Hoopoe. All of which have given outstanding performance and yield in both trials and commercial crops alike. For growers looking to try new varieties, Sesvanderhave is

launching four new varieties – Mallard, Newt, Petrel and Curlew. “The introduction of four new varieties this year is a testament to the strength of our breeding programme. Drawing on global expertise in sugar beet breeding, we tailor the varieties offered in order to meet the specific needs of UK growers,” said Mr Hunter. For sowing in 2027, Sesvanderhave varieties will be available direct from the breeder through its online shop at www.sesvanderhave.com. FG

Innovation from Germains enriches beet yields Farm manager Alistair Gray said: “We have hosted the Germains trials on farm for the last few years and it’s encouraging to see that there is investment and progress for the uk beet crop.”

Getting sugar beet off to the best possible start is critical to achieving strong yields. Good germination, fast and even emergence and strong establishment can make the difference between an average crop and a highperforming one. Alastair Gray, farm manager for Sentry in North Norfolk, relies on Germains and their Xbeet enrich seed treatments. He manages more than 3,000 hectares across eight farms and grows between 350 and 400 hectares of sugar beet annually. According to Alastair, crops established with

Xbeet enrich seed treatments have demonstrated excellent early performance. “We’re currently looking at 110,000 plants per hectare,” he says. “Xbeet enrich-treated seeds, drilled into good conditions, have come up through the ground, experienced no cold snaps and kept growing. By the Suffolk Show [end of May], our most forward crops were already meeting across the rows.” Sugar beet can be challenging to establish because of its small seed size and limited energy reserves. Germains’ lead scientist, Jordan Long

explains that seed treatments help overcome these limitations by supporting germination and early establishment. “Xbeet enrich 300 contains primers to speed up germination, along with nutrients and biostimulants that support and promote early growth,” he says. Building on this foundation, last year Germains launched Xbeet enrich 400, its most advanced sugar beet seed treatment to date. Developed specifically for UK growers, the product has performed well in trials and on-farm, increasing yields by 2%. “In comparison with our current marketleading product, Xbeet enrich 400 offers an additional 1.5 tonnes per hectare for a grower achieving 75t/ha,” says Jordan. The key innovation is the inclusion of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR). These beneficial microbes colonise plant root systems, helping crops access nutrients that would otherwise remain unavailable in the soil. By forming a symbiotic relationship with the plant, they provide ongoing support throughout the growing season, promoting stronger growth, faster canopy development and improved resilience. To support decision-making, Germains has launched a sugar beet seed calculator that combines grower data with UK trial results to estimate potential yields and financial returns, helping growers understand the value of their seed investment.

When carrying heavy loads, the Richard Western characteristics of exceptional build quality and high performance come into their own with the Beet Wellington Trailer, built to carry loads of up to 20-tonne with ease and efficiency. James Forrest (pictured) of Forrest Farms Ltd shares his experience: “We’ve had a long association with Western Trailers and have purchased a number of trailers from them, including a Beet Chaser, Suffolk Trailers and a Beet Wellington. “The Beet Wellington is used mainly to cart beet but also to carry grain at harvest time and bulky material waste. “We invested in some 710/50 R 26.5 larger flotation tyres which

we run at reduced pressures when working on poor conditions and it’s proved to be well worth the investment. The next step would be to consider a tri-axle trailer to reduce compaction further – as our current trailer is only a tandem axle. Although this would increase the overall weight slightly, we should see a positive effect from the combination of three axles with good quality flotation tyres. We can weigh the trailer and adjust the tyre pressures accordingly, this makes a huge difference. “Overall we’ve been really pleased. If ever there has been an issue Westerns have resolved it promptly. What more could you ask for really?” FG

Advice for successful autumn drilling into cover crops In the last ten years, cover crops have gone from niche to mainstream on UK farms, driven by a greater emphasis on soil health and the Sustainable Farming Initiative. Cover crops can be a tricky proposition when it comes to planting cereals into them in the autumn. Dense residues, reduced soil movement and increased pressure from pests such as slugs can make autumn cereal establishment more challenging. Simon Weaving, sales director for Weaving Machinery, has worked with farmers across the globe as they adjust to low disturbance systems using Weaving’s range of machinery, as well as transitioning his own farm surrounding the Weaving factory. Here is what he has learned.

Residues drive drill choice “Both our Sabre Tine and GD disc drill will work sowing into cover crops,” says Simon. “The Sabre Tine will manage cover crops around a foot tall, or two feet tall where well rooted, without a problem. However, like any tine drill, heavy residues can cause wrapping around the tines. This is where a disc drill like the GD is Weaving Machinery’s sales director Simon Weaving.

advantageous. “If you only have a tine drill, and have particularly dense residues, a light disc cultivation can help chop and redistribute material before drilling, without fully inverting the soil. the Weaving ShortDisc can be used for just this purpose. “If you would rather leave the cover crop standing, a front linkage mounted cutting disc toolbar, like our DualDisc,

will be a useful investment when your Sabre Tine is frequently drilling into cover crops.”

Minimising slug damage The slug risk is invariably higher when there is a large amount of cover crop residue on the surface paired with wetter autumn conditions. A higher seed rate can help compensate for potential losses, but effective slot closure is the most important factor, notes Simon. “The unique design of the GD system – with its angled cutting disc and following press wheel – helps achieve consistent slot closure, whereas the Sabre doesn’t have a press wheel, so rolling becomes vital,” he adds.

ARABLE as much tilth as possible with the tine coulter whilst the soils are at this stage in their transition. Looking towards the autumn, the plan will be to establish a Crusoe winter wheat crop with 50% of the field drilled with the GD Disc Drill and 50% with the Sabre Drill to get a side-by-side comparison. “The aim is not to prove that one system is universally better than the other. It is to understand which approach best suits the soil conditions, residue levels and stage of transition in each part of the field. Successful establishment comes from matching the drill and cultivation strategy to the conditions in front of you,” concludes Simon.

Family business

First hand experience at Chadbury Farm The Weaving family farm at Chadbury is 18 months into what Simon terms a reset process after many years spent under a contract farming agreement growing veg. The soil was heavily compacted and lacked good drainage as well as nutrients and organic matter. The first step was to establish a cover crop containing tillage radish, vetch, phacelia and rye. The mix was selected to provide a combination of deep tap roots and shallower fibrous root growth, helping to open channels through the soil profile, improve soil structure and capture nutrients. It was drilled in September and grazed by sheep

the following April. The ground was shallow cultivated with the new Weaving Raptor to incorporate the remaining organic matter into the top four inches of soil. A brown mustard cover crop was drilled at 10kg/ha at the end of May to add further organic matter, improve soil structure, suppress weeds and capture residual nutrients. “Both cover crops established well following shallow preparatory cultivation, drilling with the Sabre Tine and subsequent rolling. Drilling slightly deeper also helped the plants access moisture during the dry spring.” Simon chose the Sabre Tine to drill the cover crops because he says that he was aiming to create

Lessons from last year’s grassweed management The autumn of 2025 was as close to perfect as might be expected when it came to thinking about grassweed management. Even where a choice was made to drill earlier than normal, the control levels observed were largely encouraging and set growers up to build on these successes. Analysing the results from last year, there are lessons farmers can take into this autumn’s programme. The message of delaying drilling is not one that should be disregarded. It remains one of our most powerful tools when tackling grassweeds such as black-grass or Italian rye-grass. In the worst fields, farmers should continue to stack the cultural components with stale seedbeds, delayed drilling and improving crop competition being used in unison.

Follow this up with appropriate herbicide programmes including Avadex. The success of last season, even in the cases of earlier drilling, was largely enabled by the ability for growers to plan ahead and accurately execute their plan, with environmental conditions nicely balanced to enable an open season while providing sufficient moisture to activate the residual herbicide programmes. “This is where we can learn the most” says Hank King, UK country manager for Gowan Crop Protection. “Having a plan is really important but allowing for flexibility within that plan to suit the weather conditions is vital to realising success – after all each season provides different challenges, and we must adapt to these as they come.” This flexibility

includes how you approach your use of Avadex this season. Avadex Excel 15G and Avadex Factor are important components in herbicide programmes, particularly as growers are increasingly faced with multiple grassweed threats. Work in the last few years has shown the relative benefits of each, and tailoring your approach as the season progresses can help you achieve the best possible control. “Fundamentally, successful weed management is judged by the lowest level of seed return, and to achieve this you need to utilise the best available actives within a programme,” says Hank. “We’ve seen a rise in the frequency of other species including brome appearing on farm and this requires us to pick actives that are effective across the whole grassweed spectrum. In these circumstances, the inclusion of Avadex is hard to argue against.” For more information visit uk.gowanco.com and get in touch with the team. FG

Managing pre-emergence in an unpredictable season This year has brought one of the driest spells in living memory, but it is worth remembering that the season began very differently. Drilling conditions were supported by adequate moisture, followed by a prolonged wet period that continued into early February. In parts of the south-west, rainfall totals came close to monthly records. It has been a striking reminder of how quickly a season can change. As seasons become more changeable, with increasingly dramatic swings in temperature and rainfall, the one certainty is uncertainty. Decisions made at drilling, and the pre-emergence herbicide applications that follow, must set the crop up to cope with challenges that may not yet be clear. Crucially, those decisions must protect the crop without holding it back.

Understanding persistence and DT50 Pre-emergence herbicides vary widely in their persistence. This is commonly expressed as the DT50, the time taken for an active ingredient’s concentration in soil to decline by 50%. Familiar actives such as diflufenican are among the more persistent cereal herbicides, with reported DT50 values often exceeding 100 days and, under some conditions, approaching 300 days. Others persist for much shorter periods; Luxinum (cinmethylin), for example, typically has a DT50 of around 15–40 days. Soil temperature, moisture, organic matter and, importantly, microbial activity all influence how long an active remains available in the soil. Higher microbial activity can accelerate degradation, reducing persistence as soil microorganisms break down the active ingredient.

Keeping the active in the right zone matters BackRow Max helps hold the active in the upper soil zone for longer, concentrating the applied dose where it can have the greatest effect against emerging black-grass and rye-grass. Just as importantly, it helps keep more of the herbicide away from emerging crop roots, reducing the risk that the crop is checked at establishment. Bleaching, thinning and discolouration

are all signs that a crop has been affected by herbicide stress. When this happens, energy that should be going into root and tiller formation is instead diverted into recovery and stress remediation. If we choose varieties partly for their vigour, it makes little sense to compromise that advantage with a leached herbicide not to mention their environmental fate.

Supporting Luxinum performance Luxinum, is one of the strongest preemergence ryegrass and black-grass actives currently available and a critical part of many programmes. Its emergency approval in Germany this autumn, despite not being registered there, underlines how important it is viewed within the grassweed control toolbox. However, its persistence is more limited than some other residual actives, which is one reason it often forms part of a peri or post-emergence sequence following a more persistent preemergence option. If its effective persistence can be improved, the result is a more potent tool for black-grass and rye-grass control. Replicated trials conducted this year have shown a clear benefit from adding BackRow Max to Luximo mixes, with improvements seen in both wheat plant counts and black-grass numbers.

Improving spray coverage BackRow Max works by creating a more uniform spray pattern, reducing the number of very fine and very coarse droplets. This can improve control where application quality is compromised. At 100L/ha, droplet deposition is unlikely to be fully uniform, which is where BackRow Max can have the greatest effect in improving spray distribution and overall weed control. When using air induction nozzles to reduce drift, we often see a compromise between the coarser droplets low drift nature but also their ability to disperse across the soil surface, BackRow Max helps remove the compromise giving you good effect across both parameters. It’s the combination of improved deposition, greater retention and low drift that makes BackRow Max a winning partner to key pre-emergence actives even in situations where

their activity alone is considered to be good. Where Luxinum is limited by persistence for example, BackRow Max can help extend the effective activity window, supporting control of a greater proportion of emerging grassweed seedlings. Because it is based on mineral oil technology, rather than vegetable or methylated seed oils used in some other products, BackRow Max is designed to remain active for up to six weeks, aligning more closely with the residual herbicide molecules it is intended to support.

Front-loaded herbicide programmes need diversity and planning Grass weed management has transformed from a straightforward and efficacious postemergence approach to a more complex, front-loaded, pre-emergence dominated risk management process. Adas weed scientist, John Cussans acknowledges that grass weed management used to be simpler. “Now it is much more management intensive. We are doing weed control in the first month, and having to manage risk application-by-application, field-by-field.” With herbicide resistance an omnipresent threat, John stresses that a diversity of approaches is required. Post-emergence options have dwindled, and there is no shortage of residual herbicide products available to diversify herbicide tactics, although the EU reset process could change that. For most growers with difficult grassweeds, flufenacet and cinmethylin form the backbone of pre- and early post-emergence programmes. The default approach is to start with the strongest actives Adas weed scientist, John Cussans.

at true pre-emergence, John advises. “I think if you have the conditions, a good approach would be cinmethylin first with picolinafen or pendimethalin. Then you might add another partner, it could be ethofumesate, it could be prosulfocarb or tri-allate depending on grass weeds. “For Italian ryegrass, the priority is to sequence autumn herbicides, but the same approach has benefits for black-grass too,” he says. Adapt that default approach where the situation requires. “If you think crop safety is more marginal, don’t skip the pre-emergence, but start with something a bit safer to the crop and use the cinmethylin as the early post-emergence option.” That approach could be wise in dry conditions when residual herbicide performance can be impaired, suggests UPL’s technical sales manager Tom Wheelhouse. In UPL/ProCam trials, applying a holding spray of a non-cinmethylin or flufenacet product,

which could then be used at early postemergence, worked effectively last autumn, Tom says. “In those conditions, weeds were germinating for longer, so coming back with the strongest chemistry helped knock out the later germinating weeds.” In trials comparing the various residual herbicide tank mix partners, there was little difference between the likes of Xerton (ethofumesate), Avadex (tri-allate), prosulfocarb and pendimethalin, he adds. That makes price, as well as efficacy, a factor in putting together a pre-emergence stack. With cinmethylin a premium product, growers can potentially keep programme costs under control by choosing lower cost options, such as Xerton, rather than the more expensive bixlozone or tri-allate, Tom says. Products need to be matched to the weed spectrum. Xerton will not control Italian ryegrass, while that is a strength of prosulfocarb and bixlozone. But ethofumesate and tri-allate are strong against bromes. “Adding Xerton to a base of flufenacet plus DFF and Avadex Factor gave an 8% uplift in sterile brome control in trials last year,” Tom concludes.

4 Column versionthis autumn Protect crops against BYDV After facing pressure from aphidborne barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) last season, cereal growers are advised to stay vigilant and protect vulnerable crops with effective chemistry this autumn. BYDV is the most damaging virus of UK cereals, with severe infestations reducing winter wheat yields by up to 60%, and winter barley by 50%. Bird cherry-oat and grain aphids are the two main vectors, and while not every aphid carries virus, AHDB monitoring shows autumn 2025 saw the highest proportion in recent years, with 35% of the bird cherry-oat aphids tested deemed viruliferous. Targeted applications of pyrethroid-based insecticides are a key tool for managing aphids once thresholds are met, yet as Sumitomo Chemical commercial agro manager for UK & Ireland, Ruth Stanley explains: not all pyrethroids are the same, which impacts how they perform on-farm. “Generally, most pyrethroids have a similar molecular structure, apart from esfenvalerate, which is chemically different,” she says. This gives esfenvalerate (the active ingredient in Sumi-Alpha)

several distinct advantages over other pyrethroids; namely longer persistency, superior rainfastness, better repellency, higher activity at lower loading of active ingredient, and a kinder environmental profile for beneficials, including ladybirds, ground beetles, lacewings and predatory bugs. “It’s a very targeted product that ensures the right pest is treated effectively,” Ruth explains. Strong repellency is particularly important for protecting crops, especially as it only takes about two seconds for an aphid to land on a plant, insert its feeding probe into a leaf, and potentially infect the plant with virus. Ruth says: “Esfenvalerate works in three ways; knockdown, ingestion and repellency. By deterring pests going towards the plant in the first place, they don’t have to come into contact with the active during application or ingest it.” Esfenvalerate is more persistent on the plant than other actives, even in warmer conditions, which are becoming increasingly common in autumn, adds Aliona Jones, new technical demand creator for

Sumitomo Chemical in the UK & Ireland. Laboratory trials comparing different pyrethroids exposed to high UV levels that mimicked long, hot days clearly showed esfenvalerate to last significantly longer than other actives. “At the highest dose rate for autumn use (165 ml/ha), in some conditions, it can last up to six weeks,” she says. “This can potentially allow for savings to be made compared with

having to treat crops more frequently with a diff erent pyrethroid.” This persistency comes despite needing a lower amount of active ingredient per hectare than other pyrethroids at higher rates. Aliona concluded: “It’s a very low amount of active that needs to be used to form an eff ective dose, which is something that’s becoming increasingly important across the industry.” FG

Don’t neglect phosphate for complete OSR establishment

Assessing the type of phosphate growers plan to apply to later drilled OSR crops affects how crops access nutrition. Autumn establishment of oilseed rape is likely to be delayed this year as growers wait for moisture to arrive. But once the crops are in the ground, providing them with the right nutrition to build strong root systems and healthy cover will help fight any challenges ahead, advises Toby Ward, nutrition agronomist at Origin Soil Nutrition. “The majority of OSR crops have flourished over the past two seasons. However, the dry conditions this summer will undoubtedly force growers to consider drilling OSR later,

placing greater importance on choosing the right nutrition for crops to quickly develop strong and healthy root systems ahead of the winter.” Toby says an essential nutrient for

establishment is phosphate. Good availability will allow OSR’s long tap root and side shoots to grow before temperatures drop. Growers should consider all types of phosphate to ensure they are providing the crop with accessible nutrition. A protected phosphate, such as Origin Enhanced Phosphate (OEP), has been specifically designed to protect the fertiliser being fixed into unavailable forms in the soil. Phosphate lock up in incorrect soil pH can lead to 90% unavailability of the nutrient following application, as Toby explains. “Phosphate moves an average of just 1mm in eight weeks, so increased availability at all landing sites will help plant uptake. Phosphate is only present in around 1% of the soil solution, which should be a caution for growers who’ve taken ‘P/K holidays’

in previous seasons to avoid reserves and indices dropping below the target level two. “This highlights how important phosphate placement is to ensure sufficient nutrient is available to the crop early in establishment.” OEP is part of Origin’s Nutri-OSR grade (20-35-0 + OEP + boron). When compared to DAP (18-46-0), the phosphate quantity has been reduced as the dual-release provides greater availability to the crop. To improve crop access to nutrition, relying on a valid soil nutrient analysis will help guide inputs. “Soil testing can help growers understand the availability of all nutrients, including phosphate, which is essential to build root structures for nutrient and moisture scavenging. The early harvest provides a good window for soil analysis to inform the correct nutrition strategies. Soil index 2 is the RB209 target level to ensure sufficient phosphate supply to meet crop requirements.” FG

OSR requires the right nutrition to improve rooting before winter, which is largely down to availability of phosphate, says nutrition agronomist, Toby Ward.

Fertiliser should not take the blame for declining soil health In some circles, decline in organic matter is pinned on modern farming practices and decades of artificial fertiliser use. But the reality is more complex says Mark Tucker, agronomist. Nitrogen use and soil health should be viewed as complementary, not competing, says Mark, Yara’s food chain business manager for Europe. “First and foremost, let’s think about what soil health and quality actually is,” says Mark. “It has a chemical element in terms of nutrient status, a physical aspect in terms of structure – how it’s made up of sand, silt, clay and organic matter – and a biological fraction, which is very much where the definition of soil health sits.” Mark is quick to address the accusation that fertiliser is to blame for declining soil health. He suggests that while there may have been overreliance on fertiliser decades ago, data suggests UK farmers have a far more balanced use of fertiliser now. “Over the last 40 years, we’ve roughly halved nitrogen use as a sector across the UK,” he explains. “Phosphate use is down 75%, from

Soil sampling can build up a field-by-field picture of soil health. 40kg/ha to an average of 10kg/ha, and potassium is 66% lower than in the 1980s. It’s a much more complex system than pinning the blame on one input.”

Premium protected urea

Fault in the system Mark believes the issue lies with historic farming systems rather than the nutrients themselves. “It’s the system that’s at fault –

the monoculture, continuous cereal cropping of the past. We’re now seeing a systems approach revitalised. With everything geared towards soil health and fertility,

ARABLE incorporating cover crops, livestock and wider rotations.” Manures and compost remain the most effective route for rebuilding organic matter, but Mark points out that supply is limited. “Over the same 40-year period we’ve been reducing fertiliser use, we’ve lost 30% of the national cattle herd, 12% of our sheep and 41% of our pigs.” This means manure is scarce or isn’t always where it’s needed. One solution is digestate, and more anaerobic digesters are coming online, but targeting use is key. “It comes back to understanding your farm at field level,” Mark explains. “Soil analysis is the benchmark for working out where organic material will have the greatest impact, whether that’s for NPK fertility or for improving soil structure.” Where manures, digestate or compost aren’t available, cover crops and green manures offer a way to build organic matter from within the farming system itself. Quality matters too.

“Check the source of any material coming onto the farm,” Mark warns. “With concerns growing around forever chemicals in sewage-derived products, it’s important to look at certification and analysis, so you know exactly what you’re introducing. Otherwise, you could be building up an unintended legacy issue from what was a genuinely positive plan to improve organic matter.”

Straw, tillage and cover crops Incorporating straw brings its own short-term challenge. “When you load the soil with fresh organic material, it gets the bugs and soil biology going, and that activity consumes some of the

available nitrogen.” says Mark. Classically this can be seen as a yellowing in early established oilseed rape, where chaff spreading has been poor. “It can be concerning at the time but it’s temporary,” explains Mark. “The nitrogen cycle reestablishes within a few weeks and the crop greens up again.” On reduced tillage, Mark points to on-farm evidence from the Allerton Project at Loddington, Leicestershire, which is researching the effects of different farming methods on wildlife and the environment. Although the Allerton Project is shifting to less tillage, they’ve still had to plough occasionally to get a seedbed and establish a crop. However, data shows that this occasional ploughing hasn’t been detrimental to organic matter. “Some soils tolerate zero-till easily, others are much more challenging, and farmers need to stay flexible. Light soils are genuinely difficult to build organic matter in, while heavier soils offer more opportunity. The direction of travel is towards minimal or zero-till, but the occasional plough, when the season demands it, isn’t going to undo that progress.”

Cover crops require the same field-by-field thinking. “Picking the right cover crop for the soil type and the moment is essential, because establishment isn’t free – it costs time, money and labour,” Mark says. He suggests cover crops are especially valuable after a disappointing yield, when growers expected to achieve 8–10 tonnes but only got five or six. “Here there’s likely to be surplus nitrogen in the field going into a typically wet August. Cover crops mop up that nutrient, reduce the risk of leaching and keep it working within the farm.”

Complementary, not competing Asked to sum up, Mark is clear that the two sides of the debate need to work together. “The number one message is that we shouldn’t pitch nitrogen against soil health. A report by Nature highlighted that judicious nitrogen use and organic matter should be seen as complementary elements. Build organic matter through the right practices and you get a more successful, betterestablished crop with a bigger root system, which in turn improves nitrogen use efficiency.” FG

GroWright’s fresh approach to soil health Richard Wright of Wrights Produce Ltd has joined forces with James Dixon to design and market GroWright – a soil rejuvenator that improves soil performance and helps growers build greater resilience. Developed over the past four years by Richard Wright on his Norfolk farm, GroWright was born from a simple question: how could surplus straw be turned into something valuable? Richard began by exploring composting systems that could transform agricultural by-products into a high-quality soil amendment. His search for the right compost turner took him across Europe, leading to the development of a precise production process. GroWright is produced using a blend of straw, pig slurry and chicken wash water, with additional water added where required to achieve the correct moisture balance. The materials are formed into windrows and composted over a period of two to three months. Throughout the process, temperature, oxygen, carbon dioxide and moisture levels are monitored using a probe, ensuring optimum conditions for biological activity.

The result is a stable, nutrientrich soil rejuvenator that has been developed to enhance soil structure, stimulate biological activity and improve the soil’s ability to retain moisture. These benefits can help crops cope better with periods of drought and heavy rainfall while supporting healthier, more resilient soils over the long term. A key advantage of GroWright is its physical consistency. Unlike traditional farmyard manure, the finished product has a fine texture which allows for accurate and even spreading. It is also virtually odourfree, making application and handling more pleasant for operators and neighbouring communities. GroWright offers flexibility in application, with growers able to incorporate it into the soil through cultivation or apply it to the surface, allowing rainfall to gradually wash it into the soil profile. It can also be used across a range of arable crops and applied to livestock pasture without any concern about harming grazing animals. Richard has partnered with James Dixon, whose marketing expertise is helping to introduce GroWright to a wider farming audience.

Developed on Richard Wright’s Norfolk farm, GroWright is comprised of straw, pig slurry and chicken wash water.

The final product is designed to improve soil structure and enhance biological activity. James explained the response from growers had already been encouraging. “We’ve already sold 5,500 tonnes across various soil types

to multiple crop growers within East Anglia,” he said. “Wherever it’s been used, it’s benefited both the crop and the quality of the surrounding soil.” FG

TACKLE HOTSPOTS IN YOUR GRAIN PILE.

How to tackle hotspots in your grain store

Hotspots tend to appear in the corners of the grain store or in areas between grain cooling fans and pedestals. If you’re an arable farmer, you’ve probably already decided what sort of grain cooling system works best for you. Perhaps your fans and pedestals were already in place before the harvest season really kicked off. By mid-harvest, you’re thinking that everything is fine and your grain will be cooled at the optimum temperatures. However, the experts at Plug&Cool warn that in any store, no matter what sort of system you have in place, you will likely experience pockets of warm air, or hotspots, in places that are difficult to reach. The solution to these issues is simple. Aeration spears combined with cooling fans can be used in different areas of the store to target

specific areas of your stored grain. The hard bit is getting the aeration spears to the top of the pile but, once there, they can be easily screwed into the grain. Once the spears are in the grain, suction fans are placed on top to draw out the warm air. It’s a cost-effective way of cooling smaller areas of grain, and the spears can be moved around different areas easily. Plug&Cool has adapted its best-selling 1.1Kw grain cooling fan with a 100mm cone. This means that a more powerful fan can be used with the aeration spears for faster cooling of the grain. For farmers looking to measure the temperature and moisture of their stored grain, the Plug&Cool website sells the AgroLog Wireless Sensor Spear. The spear wirelessly measures temperature and moisture within the grain pile, sending real-time data directly to the AgroLog app via builtin connectivity. Instant alerts identify developing hotspots before they become costly problems, protecting crop quality and reducing waste. Suitable for a wide range of crops, the portable sensor spear is easy to install and move between stores. The company recommends combining the technology with Plug&Cool’s grain cooling fans and aeration spears to provides a complete solution for more efficient grain storage. As the UK’s leading reseller of the AgroLog Wireless Sensor Spear, Plug&Cool offers farmers a convenient way to monitor stored grain. FG

Behind the breakdown:

How dealers keep harvest moving When a combine stops during harvest, the repair process begins long before a technician reaches the field. Daniel Hodge visited Ben Burgess’ Norwich depot to see how connected machinery, parts logistics and experienced technicians are changing harvest support. On a screen inside the service office, a combine could be seen moving between fields. The depot team would view its location and active alerts before visiting by opening the display in the cab through Remote Display Access. A technician could assess the available information, speak to the operator and plot a route directly to the machine. It is a far cry from the traditional image of a farmer reporting that “the combine has stopped”, followed by a technician arriving with little more than a toolbox, an educated guess and a hope that, if parts are needed, they’ll be nearby. That traditional knowledge remains essential, but the process surrounding

it has become considerably more sophisticated. Calls are logged, jobs assigned digitally and connected machines monitored before an operator is necessarily even aware that a component is beginning to fail.

When the call comes in Harvest support at Ben Burgess begins with a single service number linked to a wider call tree. If the first person is already dealing with another customer, the call moves to the next available contact, with further back-up from group service management. The aim, Norwich branch manager Adam Inward explained, is that customers should always be able to reach somebody.

The details are recorded and entered into the dealership’s management system. Where the machine is already known to the business, its model, serial number and service history can be brought together with the latest description of the fault. The job is added to a digital scheduler, allowing the team to see where technicians are working, how long current jobs may take and who is best placed to respond. It is then sent directly to the selected technician’s phone, while the customer receives a realistic indication of when support should arrive. Weekend rotas are expanded as required, balancing specialist combine technicians with those covering tractors and other machinery. If several major jobs arrive together, nearby depots can provide additional people or parts. As agricultural service manager Jimmy Wright explained, jobs generally begin on a first-come, firstserved basis, although a catastrophic failure can quickly alter priorities.

Seeing trouble before it stops

Ben Burgess’ Adam Inward, Norwich branch manager, Simon Hall, service engineer, Jimmy Wright, agricultural services manager, and Ben Turner, managing director.

The largest change in recent years has been the amount of work that can take place before a van leaves the depot. Through John Deere Operations Center, the team can view the location and operating status of connected machines, together with alerts and historic information. Remote Display Access allows an authorised technician to see what is appearing on the screen in the cab and talk the operator

through settings or initial checks. Some problems can now be resolved remotely. In other cases, the technician arrives with a clearer idea of the fault, the tools and parts that may be needed. Ben Burgess' proactive support team monitors alerts and can contact the depot or customer when data suggests that a component is deteriorating. The team gave examples involving turbochargers, injectors and gearbox bearings, where patterns can indicate that intervention is required before the machine stops. In one case, a tractor appeared to be working normally when the system raised concerns about a particular injector. The customer was initially sceptical, but inspection found that it was not spraying correctly. Replacing it avoided the risk of far greater engine damage. Intermittent faults have become easier to investigate. Previously, a technician might spend hours operating a machine while waiting for a warning to reappear. A trigger can now capture information immediately before and after a fault, showing what different sensors and controllers were doing at the time. According to Ben Burgess' team, support has become less reactive. More problems can be understood and planned before they become emergencies, reducing some of the traditional harvest firefighting. However, the laptop is not a magic wand. A fault code may identify a sensor issue, while the real cause is a damaged wire several metres away

Parts in the right place An accurate diagnosis is of limited use if the required part is unavailable. “We can’t fix anything unless we’ve got the parts,” Ben Turner, managing director at Ben Burgess said, and preparation begins months before the first crop is cut. He said forward ordering can start around November or Christmas, drawing on previous demand, known wear points and the machinery operating locally. New models are more difficult because there is no sales history to guide stocking decisions. For a new cab design, for example, he said the depot may order every glass panel before a customer has requested one, assuming that damage will eventually occur. When a breakdown occurs, the Norwich branch checks its own stock before searching neighbouring depots and the wider group. Parts move between sites continually to avoid one depot holding several of an item while another has none. Orders through John Deere’s European network can be picked in Germany and flown into Birmingham overnight. Vans collect the consignments and complete delivery rounds before depots open. Larger components, unsuitable for air freight, travel by road. Temporary repairs remain part of the job. Where safe, a damaged shaft or keyway may be repaired locally to keep a customer moving until a replacement can be installed during a quieter period. Where a failure cannot be resolved quickly, a loan machine may be supplied to keep the customer harvesting.

MACHINERY mechanical failure, a machine blocked with straw or damage caused by a foreign object entering the crop flow. The operator remains an important diagnostic advisor, Simon said. What was the machine doing when it stopped? Was there a noise? Was it under load or engaging a particular function? Modern displays provide far more information than earlier machines, but can encourage the belief that every fault merely requires a laptop. In reality, technicians still need the operator’s observations and a practical understanding of the machinery. Technicians must manage the pressure surrounding a breakdown. Some customers respond to humour and reassurance; others want a direct explanation of the fault, available parts and likely repair time. The relationship between technician and farmer is therefore central. Occasionally, no amount of preparation can prevent an unusual failure. Simon recalled a combine that stalled whenever its drive was engaged. Investigation found that a large piece of sandstone had entered the machine and travelled through part of the crop-processing system. The damage could not be repaired quickly in the field, so another combine

was supplied. The original machine required an extensive workshop repair, occupying two technicians for much of a month. There was no obvious operator or machinery fault; it was simply the sort of unpredictable event the support operation must absorb. The case illustrates why support requires more than diagnostic software: it also needs parts, workshop capacity and technicians able to improvise safely.

Putting the combine to bed Many failures can be traced to how machinery was prepared or stored after the previous harvest. The team advised clearing combines thoroughly before storage, removing guards where appropriate and blowing out trapped crop material. They cautioned against washing a combine and immediately placing it in a shed while wet. Moisture around bearings, plugs and wiring can cause corrosion and intermittent electrical faults. Where washing is required, the machine should be allowed to dry fully and, where appropriate, run before storage. Rodents are, as ever, another significant risk. A mouse nesting in a cab roof or frame can damage wiring

A substantial fleet is needed to meet all callout and servicing demands. and insulation, potentially creating a repair bill running into thousands of pounds. Periodic winter checks, including a pre-season inspection,, can expose problems before harvest pressure returns. When reporting a fault, operators should provide the exact model, displayed codes and a clear account of what happened immediately beforehand. A visual check may also reveal a loose plug or trapped material.

Support behind the sale Modern machinery has given dealerships much greater visibility of what is happening in the field. It has also increased the need for people who can interpret that information,

pair it with mechanical knowledge and turn it into a practical repair. Ben Burgess’ operation rests on that combination: connected machinery, organised call handling, parts positioned across a wider network and technicians trusted by the customers they support. The team described agriculture as a three-legged relationship between manufacturer, dealer and farmer. Remove one, and the system becomes unstable. Machine specification secures the initial sale, but when the crop is ready, the forecast is closing in and a combine is standing still, the strength of the support operation is what the customer is likely to remember.

Maximum coverage for maximum efficiency Farmer Ed Turner with his Kubota XTA sprayer and M7 tractor.

For Herefordshire poultry producer Farmpoint, effective biosecurity is critical to protecting the welfare of its 800,000-bird operation. To take greater control of poultry shed disinfection, Farmpoint invested in a Kubota XTA air-blast trailed sprayer paired with an L1 Series tractor, delivering fast, thorough and consistent application throughout its poultry houses. “We really wanted to be more in control of how shed sterilisation took place once the buildings had been cleaned out, and the XTA looked to be the right bit of kit for the job,” explains Ed Turner. “It’s really important that the products we apply

are dispersed effectively and thoroughly, to ensure that pathogens are eradicated.” Supplied by Pallisers of Hereford, the XTA 3320 is an orchard-type air blast sprayer that uses a twin fan to produce an adjustable, 8–14bar spray pressure that feeds 26 nozzles, arranged in pairs. “We wanted something that was both compact, yet generous in its capacity, and offered a high degree of manoeuvrability,” he says. “With its V-swivel hitch mounted to the tractor link arms, the 2,000-litre capacity sprayer follows our L1342 Kubota tractor with a high

degree of precision, which makes it very easy to thread it through the interior layout of our poultry sheds. If the tractor will drive through, so will the sprayer. “We’ve never had a sprayer that could lift the backdraft shutters on our poultry buildings, so we know the XTA produces a very effective blast of air, which is giving us a far better coating of the inside of our buildings,” says Ed. “Importantly, we no longer get puddles on the floor, because we’d rather everything was coated by a thick fog that holds the disinfectant in place for as long as possible. Dwell time is the key to disinfectant effectiveness.” The farm has also added an M7-153, which supports the cleaning process with a 2,600-gallon vacuum tanker to dispose of washings, which operator Luke Williams says has surprised those who have used it. Equipped with front linkage and PTO, the tractor is also used with a front-mounted flail topper. “The M7 is far better than expected,” says Luke. “Cab and front axle suspension is really good, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the way it pulls a fully-loaded tanker.” “Adding a low-loader trailer to the fleet will simplify moving the L-series and XTA sprayer combination between our three poultry units,” concludes Ed.

THE SMART SUSPENSION FOR AGRICULTURAL VEHICLES Download the agricultural catalog

A satisfied customer since 2003 “The driving comfort I’ve noticed is unbeatable, as if the tank were floating behind the tractor. The annoying, continuous rocking of the seat back, which eventually causes back pain, has disappeared. Over time, I’ve discovered that this suspension has another great practical advantage: at the end of the tank emptying, the front tends to rise, resulting in a more complete discharge of the slurry. Conversely, when it’s filling, the position of the retracted cylinder indicates that the tank is full. The suspension cylinder thus acts as an indicator of the tank’s fill level.”

Trailers with ‘intelligent suspension’ The oleo-pneumatic suspension systems pioneered by Spanish manufacturer Hidracar S.A. are gaining a reputation here in the UK. Founded in 1974, Hidracar has spent the intervening decades

acquiring extensive experience in the search for suspension systems that solve the unique issues faced by agricultural trailers. The company is responsible for developing an oleo-pneumatic accumulator that has many generic applications, but has found a natural home in truck-towed and tractortowed load trailers, tanker trailers for the transport of liquids and slurries, and fumigation tank trailers. The accumulators are suitable for trailers carrying weights from 0.5–15 metric tonnes. One benefit that Hidracar is keen to promote is that installation in the vehicle is quicker and easier compared to leaf spring suspensions, as there is no connection to the hydraulic circuit of the tractor required. Hidracar claims that another of its products developed for agriculture (the oleo-pneumatic spring) has many advantages over conventional and gas-operated springs. In a Hidracar spring there is no way for gas to leak through the rod seals as the gas is contained inside the bladder of the accumulator. Additionally, unlike gas and coil springs, there is no rebound effect. FG

DRAINAGE & IRRIGATION

£3 million reservoir

empty by end of July

Elveden Farms new reservoir was nearly full by February this year. Irrigation began in early April and, by the end of July, almost every usable litre had gone. The 500,000m³ reservoir is the largest of three serving the estate and was constructed to strengthen water security for its high-value cropping operation. Elveden cultivates around 3,000ha, including 500ha each of potatoes and onions, alongside carrots, parsnips, sugar beet and around 1,500ha of cereals. Rather than suggesting that the reservoir was too small, managing director Andrew Blenkiron said its

to £200,000 to the business. Elveden’s light Breckland soils are well suited to growing root crops and allow harvesting to continue in wet conditions without the structural damage seen on heavier ground. However, their free-draining nature also means that reliable access to water is essential. The situation emphasises the increasingly close relationship between drainage, water storage and irrigation. Farms need to remove water from fields during wet periods, while retaining enough to support crops when rainfall stops. Effective

water management is therefore not simply about installing a drain or purchasing an irrigator, but about considering the complete system. Reservoir capacity, abstraction licences, pumps, pipework, application equipment, energy use and monitoring technology all have a role to play. With wetter winters and increasingly frequent periods of summer drought, the ability to manage water in both directions is becoming an important part of protecting yields, soil condition and the long-term resilience of farming businesses. FG

depletion showed just how necessary the investment had been. Without the additional capacity, the business would probably have begun rationing water in early July, forcing difficult decisions over which potato and onion crops should take priority. The season placed sustained pressure on the farm’s irrigation system. During some periods, potatoes received around 25mm of water every four days, while hose reels and other equipment were moved onto onions and carrots as earlier potato crops were completed. Mr Blenkiron estimated that 25mm of rain during the main growing season could be worth close

DRAINAGE & IRRIGATION

Transport Position

When it comes to drainage, failure to prepare is preparing to fail. Soil health and drainage are essential to safeguard against adverse and constantly changing weather. Autumn mole draining has proven itself in heavy soils in recent years with better crop establishment early on, allowing the root structures of cereal crops to form deeper and larger structures in order to find the moisture and nutrients. Deep root structures have proven highly beneficial on a drought year. Properly prepared land often produces better yields than land that lacked the same early establishment. In less hospitable, wet environments, seeds tend to rely on finding readily available surface moisture, creating a broad and shallow root system.

SALES SERVICE & HIRE

The crops can then suffer heavily in the spring and early summer, with lack of rain and high tem-peratures stunting plant growth and yields. Some farmers have reported 50% greater productivity per hectare this season on land that was recently and correctly mole drained, compared to land that wasn’t, sometimes even within the same field. On heavier soil profiles, the Ceres UniMole Mole Drainer is a machine that should not be overlooked. Its heavy construction is designed to be used behind both wheeled and tracked machines. The UniMole is well-regarded for reduced soil disturbance and the longevity of the machine and the drains that it forms. FG

Bare fields following an early harvest have created a prime opportunity for land drainage contractors to carry out remedial work and commence post-harvest drainage ahead of autumn plantings. Remedial drainage is recommended in areas that are likely to contain existing land drains, drainage systems, or where the soil has a high clay content. The process typically involves installing between one and four land drains complete with permeable backfill. Andrew Wright of Miles Drainage says these projects can cause considerable disruption to farming operations and therefore remedial drainage advice should be considered as part of the

preceding negotiations. He said: “In areas where the major fall on the land is along the cable route stone drains or gravel spurs may also be proposed across the working strip.” Miles Drainage is involved in a number of utility and cable projects and provides a full design and installation service for all types of remedial drainage requirements. “Agricultural farm drainage remains a key part of our business; we offer a quality GPS based design, installation and maintenance service for all types of farmland throughout the eastern counties and beyond, as well as the installation of water supplies and irrigation mains,” said Mr Wright.

POLLINATION

Does your farm have a pollinator strategy? For years, the conversation has focused on “saving the bees”. While that message has raised awareness and engagement, resilient pollination depends on more than one species. Honeybees, bumblebees, solitary bees, hoverflies, butterflies, beetles and many other insects contribute. Together, they provide the diversity and resilience productive farming depends on. Until now, few have considered pollinators in the same strategic way as soils, nutrients or crop protection. Britain’s Pollinator Strategy is a new editorial series from BIOM Beehives for Farmers Guide. Over the next 12 months, scientists, conservation organisations, beekeepers, growers and farmers will explore practical, evidence-based approaches that support productive farming and biodiversity. Strategic lead on agriculture at The Wildlife Trusts, Vicki Hird says: “Pollinators matter so much to us, but they are part of, and depend on, a far greater, vital natural system – from healthy soils and water to abundant insect predators and the wider food webs – which farmers can, and do, nurture and restore. One key action to restore these natural systems would be building diversity and naturefriendly approaches; more diverse farming can be

the magic tool to help pollinators thrive. “Increasing diversity could mean longer crop rotations; maintaining and creating more natural habitats on farms such as hedgerows, agroforestry, woodlands and flower strips; reducing chemical inputs, especially insecticides; and encouraging more mixed farming. Organic methods and regenerative farming can also be very helpful, as can working with neighbouring farmers and landowners to create larger, more diverse habitat corridors.” Bex Cartwright, conservation projects manager at the Bumblebee Conservation Trust says: “Grow more flowers, for more of the year, in more places. Diverse, flower-rich habitats that provide continuous pollen and nectar sources from spring to autumn will support a wide range of bumblebees, solitary bees and other pollinators. Resilience comes from diversity. A more resilient farming system is better able to cope with environmental change.” Both responses reinforce the same principle: resilient pollination cannot be achieved through a single action or species. It depends on diverse

pollinators, habitats and farming practices working together as part of a wider natural system. Over the coming months, this series will explore five connected pillars: Understand, Provide, Integrate, Diversify and Measure. Each article will focus on one pillar, combining expert opinion, scientific research, practical farm management and real-world examples to help readers develop a pollinator strategy. The next article will begin with Understand: assessing existing pollinators, habitats and seasonal gaps before deciding where action can have the greatest impact. FG

Wox Agri opens doors on slurry and grassland range Northumberland-based Wox Agri Services welcomed press, dealers and customers to its Morpeth base in July, showcasing its manufacturing operation alongside the latest developments across its slurry handling and Güttler grassland ranges. Wox Agri Services opened the doors of its headquarters in July for a week of visits from across the agricultural industry, including dealers, suppliers, customers and the agricultural press. The family-run business has built a strong presence in the slurry handling sector, manufacturing a range of pumps, reelers and associated equipment from its base near Morpeth. Its presence has also been helped by its longstanding relationship with German grassland and cultivation equipment manufacturer Güttler. Founder Geoffrey Wox remains closely involved in the business, supported by a small team of dedicated staff. A factory tour provided an insight into how the company approaches production. While fabrication and assembly remain firmly in-house, Wox has increasingly made use of modern CAD and precision cutting services to reduce the amount of basic steel preparation required before components reach the workshop. Rather than tying up skilled workshop time cutting individual parts from stock, much of the steel now arrives prepared and ready for fabrication, allowing the team to concentrate on welding, assembly and finishing. The site itself has developed alongside the

business. Its oldest production buildings date back around 30 years, while the latest expansion was completed following the Covid-19 pandemic. Much of the welding and fabrication work continues to take place within the original workshop areas, where a Walrus PTO-driven slurry pump unit was among the machines under construction during the visit. The newer facilities provide additional space for components, slurry hose and finished machinery, helping support the company’s expanding product range. A water-holding facility installed as part of the more recent site development has also proved useful for a manufacturer specialising in pumping equipment, providing Wox with a convenient area in which to test machinery while also serving its intended role in managing water runoff from the site. The press event also provided the first look at Wox’s latest development: a new version of its Tempest front-mounted hose reeler incorporating an integrated PTO-driven compressor.

A Walrus PTO pump in production, though cutting steel is outsourced, fabrication is done on site to high standards.

The newest product is the Tempest reeler, able to hold 600m of 6in pipe alongside its built-in 400CFM compressor.

Integrated compressor added to Tempest reeler Wox Agri used the event to launch a new version of its Tempest front-mounted hose reeler, combining

Wox Agri founder, Geoffrey Wox. the established reeler design with an integrated 400cfm PTO-driven compressor. The development is aimed primarily at contractors and high-output slurry operators working with larger-diameter drag hose, where removing slurry from the line before retrieval can significantly reduce the weight placed on hoses, couplings and reeling equipment. Rather than relying on a separate compressor positioned elsewhere in the system, the new design places the compressor directly on the frontmounted reeler, allowing operators to blow out hose close to the point at which it is being collected. The compressor is supplied by German manufacturer Rotorcomp and operates independently of the reeler function. Drive is taken through a toothed belt system with automatic tensioning, an arrangement Wox says has been developed to improve reliability and reduce maintenance compared with more conventional chain or V-belt drives. Wox has patented aspects of the new layout and drive arrangement, allowing the compressor module to be incorporated within the overall footprint of the Tempest. Packaging the additional equipment into the existing architecture reduces hose capacity compared with a standard Tempest reeler, but the new unit can still carry up to 600m of 6in hose. For operators working on long drag-hose runs, the trade-off is intended to provide a more selfcontained system, with the compressor available where hose is being reeled in rather than having to be positioned separately at the pumping end of the operation. The unit is designed for 1,000rpm PTO operation and incorporates multiple stages of pressure protection within the compressor system. Wox quoted a list price of £29,000 for the new model.

A demonstration using a Fendt 1050 and Fendt Favourit 818 connected by a short section of hose was used to illustrate the strength of both the hose and coupling system.

Slurry system developments Alongside the new Tempest reeler, Wox Agri demonstrated a broader selection of equipment from its slurry handling range, including its Walrus pumping system, drag hose, couplings and flowcontrol equipment. One recent change across the pump range has been the adoption of pneumatically-actuated gate valves. Wox says the switch has improved valve reliability compared with the previous arrangement. The valves were shown fitted to a PTO-driven Walrus pumping unit, forming part of the wider slurry setup demonstrated during the event. Wox displayed its range of Gollmer & Hummel slurry hose, available in diameters up to 12in, together with Shug couplings supplied by Metal360. The coupling design allows sections of hose to be joined without tools, using a connecting tube secured by a small linchpin. With the same connection arrangement at either end, hose lengths can be assembled or collected in either direction without the need to match male and female coupling ends. The company highlighted the loads that can be placed on drag-hose equipment during field operation. Larger-diameter hose can carry a considerable volume and weight of slurry, while friction between the hose and ground adds further resistance as it is pulled across the field. Managing those forces becomes increasingly important as operators move towards higheroutput systems and larger pipe diameters, placing greater demands on hoses, couplings and reeling equipment.

Grassland focus with Güttler Wox Agri’s long-standing relationship with German manufacturer Güttler was a major focus of the event, with a range of grassland and cultivation equipment demonstrated on the day. Hans Güttler outlined the thinking behind the company’s distinctive roller design, which is intended to mimic the consolidating effect of hoof traffic across grassland. The roller profile creates a pattern of point pressure rather than pressing the entire soil surface uniformly, helping to consolidate seed and improve seed-to-soil contact while limiting unnecessary surface sealing. This principle forms part of Güttler’s so-called ‘Golden Hoofprint’ concept, which is based on recreating some of the effects associated with grazing livestock treading seed and organic matter back into the sward. The latest grassland machine on show was the 6m Greenmaster Compact, which applies the same

basic operating principle as earlier models but as a fully mounted version. The machine combines several operations in a single pass. A levelling and shatter board tackles surface irregularities such as molehills, while a series of 12mm tines removes dead material and opens the soil surface to create a shallow tilth. Seed is then distributed ahead of the rear roller, which consolidates the surface and presses seed into contact with the soil. Wox and Güttler demonstrated the Greenmaster alongside an Alpin front-mounted harrow. Used together, the two implements provide more aggressive sward preparation by removing thatch and opening the soil surface before seed is applied and consolidated. The Greenmaster can be equipped with a choice of seeders in 200-, 410- and 660-litre capacities, with electric, hydraulic or PTO drive available depending on specification. Electronic control can be used to automate seed metering and headland switching, while a mechanically driven metering option is available for operators seeking a simpler system with reduced reliance on electronics. Machine specification can be tailored to suit different applications, including alternative levelling equipment and roller configurations. Lightweight roller options are also available where overall machine mass is a consideration. Güttler’s emphasis remains on improving and maintaining productive grass swards with relatively low soil disturbance, with the system aimed particularly at livestock farms seeking to renovate pasture without resorting to full reseeding.

Wider Güttler range Away from the grassland demonstration, Wox Agri displayed a selection of Güttler cultivation and consolidation equipment. Among the machines on show was the Magnum 1240 roller, designed as a versatile arable tool for use both after harvest and following drilling. Two rows of tines can be used to disturb the soil surface and encourage weed and volunteer seed germination after harvest, while the roller provides consolidation following drilling. Güttler’s roller elements are arranged in-line across the working width, an approach intended to reduce lateral movement and soil smearing compared with roller systems where individual sections run at different angles to the direction of travel. Also on display was the SuperMaxx tine

cultivator, available in a range of working widths and with either five- or seven-row tine layouts. The number of tines remains broadly comparable between the two configurations, with the additional row spacing on the seven-row version providing greater clearance for crop residue and improved material flow in higher-trash conditions. A tine-drill version of the SuperMaxx has been developed using a coulter boot designed by Wox Agri. The machine is intended to offer a relatively low-disturbance establishment option and can be used either directly into stubble or following prior cultivation, depending on soil conditions and the establishment system being used.

Continued development The press event highlighted both the breadth of Wox Agri’s current range and the direction in which the business is continuing to develop. Alongside its established slurry handling equipment, the new Tempest reeler with integrated compressor showed a clear focus on combining more functions into a single machine and simplifying high-output drag-hose operations. The autonomous slurry demonstration pushed that idea further, showing how pumping, hose handling and application could increasingly be brought together within a more automated system, with the potential to reduce the number of operators required. At the same time, Wox’s long-standing relationship with Güttler continues to give the business a strong presence beyond slurry equipment, particularly in grassland maintenance and lower-disturbance crop establishment. Wox Agri continues to combine its own engineering with selected machinery from specialist European manufacturers, while developing equipment around the demands of increasingly high-output farming and contracting systems. FG The Güttler SuperMaxx is available in both a 5- and 7-row tine layout.

First drive: NEW HOLLAND SHOWCASES THE T7 SWB The new bonnet design looks good and improves visibility from the cab.

Customer feedback was listened to, and useful features such as this full size toolbox and handwashing station were added.

Farmers Guide’s Daniel Hodge drove the range-topping T7.225 Auto Command across transport, loader, cultivation and precision-technology stations. New Holland’s latest T7 Standard Wheelbase tractor retains the compact, six-cylinder formula familiar to many farms, but almost everything around it has been reconsidered. With its front wheels turned sharply towards full lock, the T7 SWB almost looks as though something has been set up incorrectly. However, as you feel the front of the tractor swing around, the effect is immediately appreciated. The tractor comes around surprisingly tightly, while the lower bonnet sweep offers a clearer view of the area immediately ahead and beside the machine. Alongside a substantially improved cab and revised suspension, it is one of several changes that make this feel like considerably more than just an update. The new range comprises the T7.180, T7.190, T7.210 and T7.225, retaining the same 2,789mm wheelbase and Stage V 6.7-litre FPT NEF sixcylinder engine format as the tractors they replace. New Holland has redesigned the front axle, cab, controls, transmissions and much of the operator environment. All tractors available to drive during the UK press event were range-topping T7.225 Auto Command models. The Dynamic Command double-clutch transmission is due to follow later in the year, while Range

Command will come in later still, available as the more straightforward semi-powershift option.

Developed with customers New Holland said the development process began with customer clinics involving operators from different markets and farming systems, with UK users playing a significant role. The feedback centred on three areas: engine and transmission performance, ride comfort, and the cab environment. Customers were shown mockups and prototypes before taking part in drivability testing and, later, on-farm validation. Even some of the smaller details came directly from those discussions. Operators were asked what they carried during a typical working day, prompting New Holland to incorporate additional storage, a larger cool box, a pull-out toolbox and a five-litre hand-wash tank.

Noticeably better ride The redesigned front axle is one of the most significant mechanical changes. A saddle-style suspended axle sits beneath the front of the tractor, controlled by two hydraulic rams and large accumulators. New Holland has replaced the previous front-

mounted tie rod with a central steering cylinder and rear-mounted tie rods, allowing the wheels to turn through a greater angle. Depending on tyre specification, the turning circle can fall to approximately 10.4m on 540 wide tyres or 11.4m on wider tyres, compared with around 13.5m for the outgoing arrangement on comparable narrower rubber. The improvement was apparent during both loader work and tighter road turns. The tractor could be placed accurately without repeated corrections, while the better view over and around the bonnet made it easier to judge where the front wheels and attachment were in relation to surrounding obstacles. Ride quality was very convincing, where the hydraulic cab suspension and suspended front axle can be adjusted independently through soft, medium, hard, and automatic settings. Switching between the extremes produced a clear difference in the movement of the cab. The change in the front axle setting was subtler over the relatively smooth test route, although the suspension rams could be seen working continuously from the driving seat as the tractor crossed ridges and smaller bumps. Firming the axle suspension made a more obvious difference during tighter road turns, reducing body roll and keeping the tractor noticeably flatter. The test route did not include

The new narrower Sidew inder armrest and IntelliView 12 screen.

The cab feels spacious and is furnished with high-quality materials. sufficiently rough or undulating ground to expose the full range of the suspension, but the surfaces available were dealt with comfortably and without fuss. The transport station also introduced Intelligent Trailer Braking. When the operator slows the tractor through the transmission, the system measures the pushing force from the trailer and proportionally applies its air brakes, helping keep the combination in line rather than allowing the trailer to continue pushing the tractor downhill. Unfortunately, the demonstration trailer was empty, so the system’s effect couldn’t be properly tested under load.

A much more modern cab The cab environment was arguably as significant an improvement as the suspension. It feels genuinely spacious, while the materials, finish and control layout are closer to the automotive standard now expected in larger tractors. The seat was comfortable, access was easy and aluminium steps integrated into the moulded fuel tank felt more like a staircase than a ladder. A new compact SideWinder armrest carries the CommandGrip multifunction controller, configurable hydraulic controls and a rotary encoder for navigating the InfoView display behind the steering wheel. The armrest is slimmer than the SideWinder Ultra design used in larger New Holland tractors. This leaves greater space for seat swivel and allows Auto Command tractors to be specified with mechanical remote valves for the first time, rather than forcing every buyer towards a fully electronic hydraulic specification. The optional IntelliView 12 terminal fitted to the test tractors was a particular highlight. It was large, clear and notably responsive. That’s becoming increasingly important, as few things undermine an otherwise advanced control system more quickly than slow or inconsistent touchscreen responses. The interface reacted promptly when changing settings, opening camera views or moving between tractor and implement functions. More basic tractors can also be operated through the smaller InfoView display and armrest encoder, meaning the large terminal is not required for routine control unless features such as guidance, ISOBUS or more advanced tractor functions are specified.

Forward visibility has improved through the lower, tapered bonnet. During loader work it provided a clearer view of the attachment and the area close to the front wheels, but it also increased confidence during general manoeuvring by exposing more of the space immediately surrounding the tractor.

Loader technology The loader station combined the tractor’s improved manoeuvrability with an ISOBUS-integrated New Holland loader. The loader technology is based on an existing Stoll system, but is now available in New Holland branding and integrated more closely with the tractor. Its load-sensing hydraulic installation uses three pipes and an ISOBUS connection, leaving the tractor’s mid-mounted valves free for the front linkage. Through the IntelliView terminal, the operator can adjust joystick sensitivity, hydraulic response and working limits. Maximum lift and lowering points can be programmed for low buildings or repetitive loading tasks, while separate profiles can be stored for different buckets, forks and attachments. Electronic self-levelling, return-to-position

functions and recorded sequences allow the loader to repeat a movement after the operator has demonstrated it once. The system also includes on-the-move weighing, calculating the load as the boom travels through a calibrated section of its lift arc. Of the various functions, weighing without stopping appeared particularly valuable. It should reduce the time needed when loading trailers or recording how much material has been moved from a field. CustomSteer was another interesting feature. At its quickest setting, the tractor could move from full lock to full lock in approximately one turn of the steering wheel. Initially, the response initially felt dramatic, but the potential benefit was obvious where repeated left-right movements were required. Crucially, the setting is adjustable rather than simply switched on or off. Operators can select a slower response for road or field work and sharpen it for tight loader manoeuvres. A wide adjustment range is preferable to a narrower system that regularly leaves the operator working at its limits.

Cultivation without drama For the cultivation station, the T7.225 was paired with a Lemken Karat and worked in notably hard, dry conditions. Despite the ground, the tractor did not appear perturbed. It pulled steadily at relatively low engine speed and maintained the selected working pace without sounding strained. The new Auto Command transmission uses three mechanical ranges rather than the tworange arrangement of the previous generation. New Holland says this increases the proportion of mechanical power transmitted through the

MACHINERY driveline and improves efficiency across a broader speed range. A new High-Performance mode can lock the CVT into its lower mechanical range for demanding fieldwork. It made little obvious difference during the cultivation run available, but it should be viewed as a transmission range strategy rather than a simple power-boost button. Depending on the load, holding the lower range may allow the engine to work at reduced speed and fuel consumption. Under heavier conditions, it may instead allow the tractor to maintain output and work harder, with a corresponding increase in fuel use. Its benefit will therefore depend heavily on the implement, working speed and depth. The same station demonstrated automated headland turns. Once the operator selected whether the tractor should turn left or right and how many bouts to skip, the tractor managed the steering and returned to the next pass. Headland sequences can also control linkage, PTO and other tractor or implement functions, with the setup saved against a particular implement for future use.

data were all displayed through the IntelliView terminal. The value was not simply the quantity of information available, but the ability to prepare a task away from the tractor and have the machine act on it without constant manual intervention. All models are supplied with Connectivity Included, while ISOBUS Class 2 or 3 and Tractor Implement Management allow compatible implements to exchange information with, and in some cases control, tractor functions.

high-horsepower machine. For larger arable businesses, it could provide a relatively fuel-conscious tractor for drilling, spraying, transport or secondary cultivation work. On medium-sized or mixed farms, it has the power and versatility to take on a much broader proportion of the workload. The clearest improvements from this first drive were the cab and suspension. The driving environment is more spacious, better finished and easier to use, while the combination of hydraulic cab suspension, the revised front axle and sharper steering makes the tractor feel both more comfortable and more manoeuvrable.

The urgent case for bluetongue vaccination The 2026/27 UK bluetongue season is underway, with the threat of Serotype 3 (BTV-3) escalating rapidly. Management relies heavily on farmer-led biosecurity and vaccination rather than movement controls. After 348 cases last season, BTV-3 overwintered successfully – as evidenced by early detections in Derbyshire, Cheshire, and Nottinghamshire. With summer midge activity driving transmission, a proactive vaccination strategy is essential to protect livestock. BTV-3 is no longer a theoretical threat, it is actively spreading. At the time of writing, just over a month into the new season which started 1st July 2026, Defra confirmed 183 new cases in England and four in Wales. Most concerning is a recent cluster among sheep in Devon, Somerset, and Staffordshire. Affected animals are presenting with severe symptoms including facial swelling, drooling, fever, lameness and rapid condition loss, with an alarming 24% mortality rate among tested stock.

The true cost of a BTV-3 outbreak The financial and physical toll of a BTV-3 outbreak extends far beyond immediate livestock losses. The virus causes severe endothelial damage in infected animals. Data from the Netherlands showed that affected sheep flocks experienced mortality rates 15 times higher than unaffected flocks1, with a case fatality rate of approximately 75%2. For UK cattle, the impact on production and fertility is equally alarming. Infected dairy herds have been shown to suffer an average milk drop of 1kg per cow for nine consecutive weeks3, alongside an increased mortality risk in the 90 days post-calving4. Furthermore, a recent UK report tracking three suckler farms highlighted that 5–17% of calves were born with severe congenital brain lesions due to transplacental BTV-3 infection. On one of these affected UK farms, the virus left 20% of the breeding stock entirely barren5.

Frontline insights from William Hutchinson To understand the practical realities of protecting a flock, Farmers Guide spoke with farmer William Hutchinson of Chapelizod farm. While farming across the Irish Sea, his recent proactive decision to vaccinate his sheep against BTV-3 offers valuable insights for UK farmers weighing their options as the disease circulates nearby. He said: "The current high temperatures and easterly winds favour the multiplication of any infected midges... It is also concerning to note the reports of the diagnosis of sheep with BTV in Staffordshire and Somerset in recent weeks. Hopefully having a fully vaccinated breeding flock for BTV will avert any fertility issues that might affect the 2027 lamb crop and avoid any clinical cases on farm. Schmallenberg virus was not that many years ago and the memory of the impact that disease had on lamb crops lives on in the minds of many farmers. We have an opportunity to protect our sheep flocks now prior to any significant bluetongue virus introduction and at Chapelizod farm, we believe it is foolish not to avail of the vaccine before this autumn’s breeding season. "Vaccination is the best available insurance that flock owners can utilise to prevent such losses."

Protection with Syvazul BTV 3 As William Hutchinson highlights, early vaccination is vital. Statistical modelling indicates that vaccinating 60-70% of livestock is critical for effective disease control across the region6. Syvazul BTV 3 is distributed by Virbac in partnership with Syva, experts in vector-borne diseases. It is an inactivated vaccine formulated to provide targeted, robust protection against the BTV-3 strain. It is designed to fit seamlessly into standard UK farm handling routines:

• For Sheep: A single 2ml dose, administered

•

subcutaneously. It provides active immunisation to reduce viraemia, clinical signs, lesions and mortality, with immunity established just four weeks after the dose. For Cattle: A two-dose protocol of 2ml per dose, administered intramuscularly three weeks apart. It reduces viraemia, offering protection three weeks after the primary course is completed.

Crucially for commercial dairy and meat operations, Syvazul BTV 3 comes with a zeroday withdrawal period, meaning you will face absolutely no disruption to your production and sales schedules. Safety data also confirms that it can be safely administered to sheep and cattle during pregnancy and lactation, ensuring that you can protect your vulnerable ewes and cows without risking their reproductive cycles. The threat of BTV-3 is an active, spreading emergency in the UK. With recent outbreaks from Cornwall to Cheshire, waiting for clinical signs to appear in your herd or flock is too late. Because vaccine-induced antibodies take several weeks to fully develop, establishing immunity now is the most effective way to safeguard your animals' welfare and your farm's financial stability. Farmers are being encouraged to speak to veterinary surgeons about incorporating Syvazul BTV 3 into immediate health plans. FG REFERENCES 1. 2. 3.

Treating and managing liver fluke in sheep

Improving soil drainage can help to reduce cases of liver fluke over time. Liver fluke can lead to 10% losses in an affected flock; preventative measures and treatment with a flukicide are critical components to a flock health plan. Liver fluke or fasciolosis is a highly infectious parasite infection caused by the flatworm Fasciola hepatica. It is highly fatal in sheep causing 10% losses in an affected flock through

internal bleeding and anaemia or secondary complications from extensive liver damage. Chronic disease leads to reduced weight-gain and loss of body condition, and it is also associated with poor fertility in ewes. It is the second highest cause of abattoir condemnations, and in 2011 it was estimated that fasciolosis led to an economic loss to the UK

sheep industry of almost £15m. Ally Ward, veterinary surgeon at Zoetis UK, said that while historically liver fluke is more prevalent in the wetter western and upland regions of the UK including Wales, Scotland, western England and Northern Ireland, slaughterhouse condemnations and laboratory surveillance has indicated that it

is being seen in areas previously unaffected by fluke. Ms Ward added: “Climate change is altering the geographical range and seasonality of fluke and, while it normally affects sheep during wet and warm conditions over 10°C in mid-Autumn around October, it is highly likely that it will hit flocks later than usual this year. This is due to the drought conditions experienced over the summer causing the mud snails that carry the liver fluke parasite to ‘wait out’ the dry weather. “That being said, mud snails thrive in damp, muddy environments such as ditches, boggy ground, the edges of ponds and slow-moving streams, so the dry pasture from the drought will lead to grazing livestock migrating to these areas which maximises their exposure to liver fluke larvae.” Devon sheep farmer Peter Baber runs a 400-acre sheep enterprise across two holdings on the edge of the Dartmoor National Park. The farm is permanent pasture, with around 900 ewes tupped each year and between 1,200 and 2,000 animals on the farm at any one time. Liver fluke has been a challenge for Mr Baber

He said: “Liver fluke is certainly on my radar and while I have a good understanding of parasitology and how to confidently control worms, liver fluke is a different story. Some years we don’t experience liver fluke, but some years certain groups of sheep are diagnosed, particularly the ones grazing on one of our holdings which is river floodplain and prone to flooding.”

Diagnostic testing Mr Baber continued: “While liver

Preventative measures fluke fatalities are normally low, it can lead to health and welfare concerns and financial losses. Therefore, as soon as we receive the SCOPS alert for liver fluke, we take faecal samples and send them away for a coproantigen test, which is an ELISA test that detects the digestive enzymes secreted by the parasite. The coproantigen test detects the parasite as early as four to seven weeks post-infection, unlike traditional faecal egg counts which only become positive 10–12 weeks after infection. We also do a routine faecal egg count at the same time to test for Strongyles and Nematodirus. “Last year we had positive tests for liver fluke and worms and treated 300 sheep on the

“Prevention should include managing pasture to reduce the snail habitat by topping rushes and improving drainage,” said Ms Ward. “It’s also advisable, although not always possible particularly during

drought years, to avoid grazing highrisk pastures during autumn and winter. All bought in stock should be treated and suitably quarantined on arrival. “A flukicide treatment strategy should be discussed with your farm vet as part of a flock health plan to ensure appropriate treatment choice and dose rates.” Mr Baber added that preventative measures and treatment with a flukicide are critical components to a flock health plan and his investment in diagnostics and treatment for conditions like liver fluke are a priority both for the health and welfare of his flock and to protect his farm from financial losses.

LIVESTOCK Charlie Wellon, co-founder of 02 Agri, adjusts the water treatment system.

Nanobubbles prove their worth in poultry Harper Adams graduates Caroline and Charlie Wellon have developed a patent-pending nanobubble water treatment system now operating on 11 poultry farms. Across UK poultry units, a microscopic innovation is delivering measurable returns. Shropshire-based O2 Agri invented the system that has hydrated more than 52 million birds. The technology infuses drinking lines with 500–800 million ultra-fine oxygen bubbles per millilitre. Each bubble measures less than 200 nanometres. Adding these nanobubbles raises dissolved oxygen from a typical 6–10ppm to around 50ppm. As the bubbles travel the lines, their internal pressure collapses biofilm like mechanical cleaning, reducing bacteria by

25–75% and cutting chemical use, while birds drink clean, highly oxygenated water. Caroline Wellon said: “The biggest challenge has been changing established practices. Poultry producers understandably want proven, reliable solutions, particularly when margins are tight and flock performance is so critical. Any new technology has to demonstrate clear value, not just in theory but under commercial farming conditions. “That's why we've focused on generating independent data and working closely with customers to demonstrate measurable improvements in water quality, bird performance and operational efficiency. “One of our early commercial installations was particularly significant. The customer had

been experiencing persistent water quality issues that were impacting flock performance despite following conventional management practices. “After implementing our system, they saw noticeable improvements in water hygiene and consistency, alongside positive feedback on bird health and productivity, huge reduction in mortality up to 50% and most importantly a massive reduction in antibiotic use.” The results speak for themselves: a consistent 0.03 feed conversion ratio betterment, improved feathering, better litter, reduced antibiotic use and lower mortality. Chris Wright of IEC Poultry, overseeing nearly 1.1 million birds, saw payback in just over two years against a modelled five. He said: "I wouldn't be without it. It's a no-brainer." Ms Wellon sees the system as part of a bigger movement towards responsible water management in agriculture. “We believe water management will move from being viewed as a basic utility to becoming a key management tool that supports flock health, feed conversion and overall performance. Technologies that enable producers to monitor and optimise water quality in real time will become increasingly valuable as they are sustainable and efficient.” Award-winning O2 Agri offers systems to suit any operation – from roll-in skid units for smaller layer sheds to containerised installations for multi-shed sites – with proven applications in broilers, layers, turkeys and beyond. “Ultimately, our goal is to make effective water management an integral part of successful livestock production,” Ms Wellon concluded.

LIVESTOCK negative effect on a calf’s immune status and can increase the risk of disease outbreaks.

Optimise immunity

PRACTICAL TIPS for CONTROLLING BRD Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) remains one of the most costly and frustrating challenges in youngstock health. Tim Potter, national veterinary manager at Zoetis, shares his practical tips for reducing risk. Pneumonia is a multi-factorial problem that occurs when a calf is faced with overwhelming infection pressure – a high level of challenge from viruses and bacteria – or when its ability to fight off infection is compromised in some way.

Reduce the challenge An excellent calf environment is key to preventing BRD. Focus on maximising air quality. Calves need plenty of fresh air without draughts at their level. Check that drainage quickly moves moisture away, that bedding is kept deep and dry, and always provide plenty of space. For respiratory pathogens like Mycoplasma bovis, hygiene matters. Thoroughly clean and disinfect feeding equipment after each use to reduce the chance of spread. It is also important to have a plan in place for AS112677

buildings to be regularly cleaned and disinfected, ideally after each group of calves passes through. High stocking density will increase infection challenge and compromise the environment. Keep groups small and stable, ideally matched by age and size, and avoid constantly adding calves to established pens. It is advisable to avoid mixing calves at different ages in the same air space, as this increases disease transmission from older animals to younger, more vulnerable stock. The impact of stress has a

The foundations of immunity are laid in the first hours of life. High-quality colostrum, in the right volume and given as soon as possible after birth, is essential for effective passive transfer of antibodies, and lowers pneumonia risk. It helps calves respond better to vaccination, ensuring they receive the full benefit from your investment. Vaccination provides an additional layer of protection - but it works best when it matches your farm’s risks. Work with your vet to build a programme that covers key risk periods and pathogens. For example, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and Parainfluenza Type 3 Virus (PI3) are widespread. If it is suspected that a pneumonia challenge is coming from M. bovis, vets can carry out bulk milk testing, blood sampling, or nasal swabs to help confirm an individual farms status. When BRD occurs, speed matters. Make sure the whole team can spot cases early and follow a vet-agreed treatment protocol.

Brighter outlook for producers ahead of UK Dairy Day The dairy sector is showing welcome signs of recovery with milk prices improving after a challenging year, restoring some confidence for producers ahead of UK Dairy Day. Charlie Reeve reports. Strengthening farmgate milk prices should help drive some renewed optimism for the dairy sector, as UK Dairy Day returns to Telford in Shropshire on 16th September. The major dairy industry event provides a setting for farmers to hear from expert guest speakers, view practical farming demonstrations, and meet trade exhibitors, helping them make informed decisions

ahead of the winter months. Talks are due to cover new technologies on farm, foot trimming, breeding and feeding efficiencies, an overview of the UK Dairy Road Map, and a panel discussion on the future of the sector. Dairy Day will host more than 30 cattle classes, including the national shows for Ayrshire, Brown Swiss, Dairy Shorthorn, and Holstein breeds, as well as specific classes for Guernsey and Jersey cows. Calf corner is also set to return for another year with leading veterinary groups sharing their expertise on rumen development, pneumonia, lung damage, and general calf health and welfare.

Producer sentiment Seminars are due to cover farm policy along with calf welfare and breeding.

Some optimism is beginning to return to the dairy sector after a turbulent year, with spot milk prices climbing to almost 50p/litre and several major milk

processors recently announcing higher farmgate milk prices for producers. However, any recovery is likely to be slow, with many dairy producers having operated at a loss earlier this year after farmgate milk prices dropped below the cost of production. A large milk surplus weighed heavily on the dairy sector during the winter months, as processors struggled to absorb excess production, putting sustained pressure on farmgate prices. Since peaking at an all-time high of 38.9 million litres on 25th April, GB milk output has fallen sharply. Seasonal declines and extremely dry conditions have tightened supplies, with AHDB figures showing daily milk deliveries now tracking at roughly 3% below last year's levels. Despite record milk production earlier in the year, the number of dairy holdings continues to decline. As of April 2026, fewer than 7,000 dairy producers were left in operation across Great Britain. This represents a reduction of almost 200 producers compared with the previous year and a decline of

more than 1,000 producers over the past four years. Consolidation of farm businesses within the dairy sector means overall milk production remains high, with average milk output per farm gradually increasing. NFU Dairy Board chair Ian Harvey said: “We know that globally the demand for milk continues to rise and, as one of the most sustainable places to produce milk in the world, the UK must ensure we are both wellinvested and resilient enough to be the ones to meet it.”

BD passes milestone anniversary Last year, BD Supplies celebrated 25 years in business – a big milestone for the specialists in animal husbandry and hoof trimming equipment. The company is proud to keep supporting farmers and professionals across the UK and Ireland with products they are able to rely on. BD Supplies’ range includes hoof trimming knives, discs, and well-known KVK and Appleton crates. As the sole UK and Ireland importer of KVK products, the company supplies crates designed to improve operator comfort while keeping livestock stress to a minimum. Professional block adhesive is one of the company’s most popular products, known for its strength and consistency, and suitable for both wooden and rubber blocks. BD Supplies also offers its own tough, high-quality rubber blocks. The Medi-Dart injection system makes it easier to treat cattle at grass without the need to handle entire groups – keeping processes simple and low-stress. Our Scottish readers may be interested in the company’s growing biomass wood pellet delivery service, which operates

from Lairg to Lockerbie. BD Supplies does not manufacture its own pellets, but only supplies pellets that are ENplus A1 approved and RHI compliant. ENplus A1 is currently the highest quality standard mark in the UK. Homes and businesses in Scotland have been able to purchase wood pellets from BD Supplies for seven years, and the bulk supply business has had its own dedicated lorries for the last four years. The company can also supply Rapid walk-behind tractors and Graham Edwards trailers. As BD Supplies continues to grow, farming stays at the heart of what the company does. It promises to stay focused on great products, reliable service, and nextday delivery. FG Brian Donaldson of BD Supplies.

PRECISE INSIGHTS FROM INSIDE THE COW A successfully managed farm relies on recommendations to make decisions that pay off financially in the long term. This is exactly where a smart technology solution like smaXtec comes in. The company behind smaXtec believes that precise insights gained directly from inside the cow provide a reliable data foundation that enables targeted measures to be implemented and the farm’s profitability to be improved. With smaXtec, dairy farms adopt a health management system that transforms precise data into clear decisions. Continuous insights into animal health and farm operations make it possible to identify problems at an early stage, deploy resources effectively and make management decisions with greater confidence. The result: more efficient processes, healthier animals, and higher profitability through preventive health management. This becomes especially clear when speaking to farmers across the country. Emma Holden, who manages around 100 cows

in Larne, Northern Ireland, sees these benefits and the power of prevention reflected directly in the daily operation of her farm: “The constant monitoring of inner body temperature and rumination has enabled me to decrease antibiotic usage throughout the herd significantly and save cows before they’re too far gone. It’s not only improved cow welfare, but it has also resulted in significant financial savings,” said Ms Holden. Ben and Andrew Gott, who run 190 cows in Tallentire, England, say the first thing they do in the morning is check the graphs and data. "The information it gives you is reliable, and it’s convenient on your phone wherever you are. This provides us with peace of mind that cows are being monitored 24/7 because we can’t be there every second of every day," they said. Using artificial intelligence, smaXtec transforms data into concrete recommendations for action. Implementing smaXtec supports greater profitability, more efficient workflows and partnership that adds value. It upgrades dairy farms around the

UK with professional expertise in implementing and continuously improving management practices. This turns insights into concrete measures that move both herd and

farm forward in a sustainable way. To find out more about how smaXtec can help make herd health pay on your farm, visit www. smaXtec.com/en. FG

Dairy farmers turn to supplementary feed due to drought The prolonged dry weather around the UK has led to more dairy farmers using winter rations and purchasing compound feeds in order to maintain milk production. A forage shortage is looking likely with a lot of farmers currently well into feeding first cut silage, according to Jake Manning, ruminant sales specialist at Massey Feeds. Mr Manning said that growing different winter break crops such as forage rye could help to combat future forage shortages and suggested the industry needs to potentially look at crop irrigation with maize crops beginning to suffer. “Fertility is also being hit hard on some farms, potentially not as bad as I would have expected to have seen, which is great, and just shows the effects of getting the dry cow management correct, improving the egg production,” he said. Mr Manning suggested that keeping cows in during high temperatures, where water and feed is available easily, could help reduce energy wastage. He added that milking later in the day when it begins to cool could help to reduce heat stress. The AHDB estimates GB milk production to already be down by more than 18.5 million litres due to the recent heatwaves. Susie Stannard, lead dairy analyst at AHDB said: “Milk production in the UK has tipped from over to under supply in the short-term. “Spot milk prices have recovered 10p/litre with signs commodity prices may follow suit as milk utilisation shifts.”

The AHDB advises farmers to mitigate the effects of heat stress by providing extra shade and minimising livestock movements and yard time. The milk to feed price ratio appears to be steadily improving with the cost of purchased feed remaining relatively stable while farmgate milk prices start to slowly recover. This may start to incentivise more dairy producers to provide supplementary feed to cows as margins begin to improve. Hydration levels can also affect cow performance and milk yields, with water accounting for approximately 87% of milk composition.

Water intake can have a huge impact on overall yields, helping cows to regulate body temperature and aiding dry matter feed intake, with high yielding cows consuming more than 100 litres of water a day. Mr Manning said: “Ensuring clean water is available at all times is absolutely crucial to maintain performance during these tough times. “Fans are an absolute no brainer, with humidity being regularly recorded at well above 70% in the UK outside this year and numerous days at plus 30 degrees taking advantage of the current available grants to install would be one of my first priorities.” FG

Keeping cows in longer in hot weather may reduce heat stress.

Read what satisfied flock owners have to say: “Split flock trials showed a 10-15% increase in lambs scanned using ProVitaMin in comparison to our previously preferred drench.”

“The results obtained with ProVitaMin were nothing short of remarkable. Of the two ewes flushed that year, one produced 25 embryos which the other produced 19. Subsequent to this 23 of the embryos produced were implanted into commercial recipients leading to 18 lambs scanned. Also used on all the flock, fertility has dramatically improved.”

“ProVitaMin drench is used pretupping and on all lambs before weaning to boost weight gain and overall condition for show and sales. It is a versatile drench and with the small volume application a bottle goes a long way.”

“The flock was split into two groups - the ewes drenched with ProVitaMin tupped several days before those tupped with the competitor product. The ProVitaMin drench was much easier to use as it was a smaller amount given.”

“The first round of ProVitaMin drench helps boost ewe fertility levels while the second acts to increase lamb vitality. I also ensure that the ewes selected for AI receive the mineral and vitamin boost. All the lambs get ProVitaMin prior to weaning. This ensures that growth rates are not reduced, once they are taken off their mothers.”

“Using ProVitaMin has boosted ewe and lamb performance in terms of fertility and growth rate. This has resulted in an extra ½ lamb per ewe sold for us this year.”

Managing mineral and vitamin deficiencies in sheep and lambs Recognising when trace element and vitamin deficiencies become a serious threat is essential to maintaining high welfare standards, writes John Henderson MRCVS. Across the entire sheep farming sector, a frequent concern among producers is that their stock might underperform due to being ‘lacking in something’. That ‘something’ covers a range of trace elements and vitamins that are essential to livestock health.

• Cobalt and Vitamin B12. This

Trace elements and vitamins Trace elements are simple elements that serve as the raw, chemical building blocks for crucial hormones and enzymes. If a mineral is missing from the diet, vital bodily processes break down completely. Take cobalt as a prime example: it is biologically essential for the rumen to manufacture vitamin B12, which ultimately lets the animal extract energy and nutrition from its feed. If the pasture lacks cobalt, lambs fail to thrive and grow, even when grazing on abundant forage. Vitamins are more complex molecular structures. Forage plants naturally manufacture most vitamins that a healthy sheep requires, making outright, primary vitamin deficiencies relatively rare on traditional grazing setups. However, if sheep are set back by disease or heavy parasite burdens, their total food intake drops significantly. This reduced forage intake triggers a secondary vitamin shortage, which compromises the immune system and slows down recovery. A trace element gap occurs when a sheep's metabolic need for essential minerals exceeds the supply available from grazing, leaving animals with a nutritional deficit despite consuming ample pasture. This shortfall, driven by rapidly growing, nutrient-diluted grass and surging demands during peak growth or pregnancy, can be managed with targeted supplementation to avoid sub-clinical deficiencies.

The ‘Big Four’ deficiencies In the UK, these are the most common trace element and vitamin deficiencies found in sheep: John Henderson MRCVS.

70-77 LiveStock.indd 76

•

closely linked team primarily threatens fast-growing lambs during the summer and autumn months. Because these lambs are growing at a rapid pace, their metabolic demand for all trace elements peaks. If cobalt or B12 is lacking, they will struggle to thrive. Furthermore, if the lambs carry a heavy worm burden, the resulting gut damage slashes their ability to absorb what little cobalt and B12 are present. This creates a heightened negative effect, leaving you with unthrifty, underperforming lambs that waste away despite having access to good grazing. Selenium and Vitamin E. This duo drives muscle health, cellular protection, and growth. A deficiency typically shows up in young, growing lambs as muscle stiffness (often referred to as White Muscle Disease) and poor daily liveweight gains. This team is also vital for breeding rams; a shortage degrades sperm quality, structural motility, and overall tupping vitality. Iodine. This element directly regulates ewe fertility and metabolic rate via the thyroid gland. A deficiency disrupts reproductive hormones, causing poor conception rates, higher scanning losses, and weak or stillborn lambs. Copper. Deficiencies are highly regional, appearing mostly in upland areas where specific soil types lock up copper, or where high levels of molybdenum and iron interfere with oral absorption. In the UK, a severe deficiency leads to "swayback" in lambs, caused by poor spinal cord development. This results in permanent hind-leg weakness or total paralysis. However, because copper can be highly toxic if administered to sheep at incorrect levels, careful veterinary consideration for copper supplements is mandatory before use.

Provita’s ultra concentrated drench is designed to maximise nutritional efficiency.

Diagnostics and longterm supplementation If a deficiency condition is suspected on the farm, guessing can be costly. Investigating the flock's true mineral status through professional blood testing or liver samples is essential to confirm the issue. Once a deficiency is verified, targeted supplementation is required. For long-term, year-on-year deficiency issues, boluses provide a continuous supply of trace elements and vitamins. They sit in the reticulum and release nutrients slowly. However, they can dissolve in the stomach at a variable rate, meaning the daily supply of vital ingredients may not always be perfectly smooth. Boluses are also occasionally regurgitated and lost by the sheep or lamb.

The operational benefits of oral drenches Oral drenches work quickly, offer excellent dosing flexibility, and can easily be integrated into standard handling events throughout the grazing season to maintain adequate blood levels. If there is a severe, ongoing cobalt issue on the farm, oral drenches will

need to be administered at least monthly to match the lamb’s shortterm storage capacity. The absolute flexibility and ease of administration mean oral drenches are highly effective for boosting breeding ewes and rams directly around the critical tupping period and during mid-tolate pregnancy.

Targeted support: Provita ProVitaMin When selecting a high-performance drench, commercial options like the Provita ProVitaMin range offer a highly concentrated solution, designed to maximise nutritional efficiency. This ultra-concentrated oral formula delivers 24–25 broadspectrum elements. These products utilise chelated minerals and trace elements, which are able to ensure maximum bioavailability so that the sheep's body can absorb the nutrients efficiently before they pass through the digestive tract. This complete nutritional blend is formulated specifically to improve reproductive success and fertility in breeding ewes, while helping lambs to thrive during high-stress periods like weaning. FG

The event included seminars covering issues facing the sheep sector, including destocking in the uplands, bluetongue, and the pros and cons of a closer trading relationship with the EU. Newly appointed DEFRA farming minister Stephen Morgan told delegates that the sheep sector had seen a sustained period of strong market prices, and that there were opportunities for farmers in both domestic and export markets. Mr Morgan said: “We need sheep farming to work alongside nature and natural resource management, particularly in the uplands, where flocks play such an important role in the landscape. “And there are real opportunities for greater

integration into lowland arable systems, supporting rotations, improving soil health, and opening doors for new entrants.” NSA chief executive Phil Stocker added that, while the sheep sector faces challenges, the atmosphere at the event was positive. He added: “Professionalism, innovation and passion on display demonstrated exactly why the future of UK sheep farming remains bright." Shearing and fencing competitions took place at the event, along with working collie demonstrations. The national final of the NSA Next Generation Shepherd Competition was also held and was won by Chloe Nadin from Staffordshire, who impressed judges with her impressive display of stockmanship and technical expertise.

FENCING'S FINEST COMPETE FOR TORNADO TITLE Tornado Wire showcased its latest fencing technology alongside some of the UK's best professional contractors at this year's NSA Sheep Event, as a closely fought fencing competition was enjoyed by attendees. In an incredibly tense finish, four teams finished within the same minute, at two hours and 52 minutes, with winners John Morgan & Si Gibbs eventually awarded the £1,000 prize as champions of the 2026 Tornado Wire Fencing Competition. Following their win, John and Si also qualified for a 2027 trip to the Silver Spades Competition in New Zealand as the highest-placed UK

team. The duo had previously earned the same honour after finishing as the best placed UK team in the 2024 competition. Rebecca Galley, chief executive of Tornado Wire, said she thought professional pride was the main motivator for the winning pair. She explained: "The prizes are great, but it seemed to me the fencers were more concerned with the kudos. The entrants are meticulous and fanatical about fencing." Ms Galley added that there was a huge amount of interest in both entering and watching this year’s event, with double the number of applicants compared with the available places and many spectators keen to improve their

fencing skills by watching the best. She said: "This year’s event has proved extremely popular. I want to thank all those who took part and those who support the event." Held at the biennial event, the competition saw 12 teams race to construct 60 metres of stock fencing within three hours in challenging dry conditions, using only handheld tools. For the first time, the opening section of the fence was constructed using traditional timber straining and turning posts before competitors completed the second half using Tornado's Pro-Strain® steel straining system and Pro-Strain i-Posts®. Sampson Fencing was among the favourites for this year's competition but

failed to add to their wins in Ireland and Scotland earlier in the year. The guest team from New Zealand, featuring former Tornado champion Jeff, claimed second place, while PDR Contracting & SRM Fencing were placed third. The Tornado Wire fencing competition has a long history, having first been organised by the company in 1984 to demonstrate the benefits of high-tensile wire fencing compared with the alternatives at the time. Away from the arena, Tornado Wire was also recognised with the NSA Sheep Event's Best Outdoor Stand Award, capping off a successful day for the company. FG

MACHINERY

A drill that helped change the system For Kent farmer Richard Budd, the Sumo DTS is a key machine behind a long-term shift in establishment strategy, helping the business move away from higherdisturbance cultivations. Based at Stevens Farm, Hawkhurst, the business includes around 1214ha of arable cropping alongside top fruit and grass. The arable rotation is built largely around winter wheat, oilseed rape, winter beans, some winter barley and spring oats, with break crops kept seven to eight years apart where possible. His performance focus has been reflected in impressive YEN results, with Richard describing around 24 awards across cereals, oilseed rape and beans. Immediately, he is upfront and clear that there is no secret shortcut. “We run probably between four to eight R&D projects a year,” he says. “Unless you keep enquiring as to where you’re at, you’re never quite sure you’re at the top of the game.” That mindset has shaped the farm’s relationship with the DTS. Richard is not presenting the drill as a silver bullet; instead, he sees it as a key machine in a system that gave the business confidence to reduce cultivations on heavy land without accepting poorer establishment.

A system under pressure The farm’s heavy ground, black-grass burden and drive for more resilient soils meant establishment was central to that process. Before moving into the DTS, Richard’s system was based around a Trio, press, tine seed drill, and rolls. It was capable of establishing crops well, particularly in winter, but it also moved soil through the profile. “I don’t want to be mixing up and down the profile,” he says. “We’ve got plenty of black-grass here, and it’s what took us away originally from our original system.”

The ability for the drill to closely follow Richard’s contoured land was a significant factor.

Farmer Richard Budd is a recipient of multiple YEN yield awards across various crops. That need to reduce soil movement, without losing the ability to create a reliable seed-bed, was what made the DTS stand out. The aim was not to stop making decisions in the field. In fact, Richard’s approach has become more field-specific. Soil testing, compaction testing, yield maps and crop observations feed into whether land needs subsoiling, a surface pass or drilling direct.

A drill that could follow the ground Richard first saw the DTS at an open day, when the drill was at prototype stage. What stood out to him was the way the machine looked capable of working across undulating ground. “It was the first time I’d seen a direct drill that was properly capable of moving with the contours of the land,” he says. The farm took factory machine number four in

2012. Richard is now on the fourth iteration of the DTS, having moved from a 4.8m machine into 6m drills as the acreage has grown. His view of the original concept remains strong. “It was the first direct drill that specifically allowed heavy-land farms like ourselves to place the seed and produce a proper seed-bed that was capable of growing good crops,” he says. “We didn’t see a yield drop when we took this on. We actually saw yields build.”

Building confidence in the system The DTS allowed the farm to remove deeper, more intensive cultivations, while creating enough tilth and loosening in the row to establish crops consistently. Richard says the wider system has continued to evolve. Everything is chopped, while digestate and sewage cake are used to return nutrients and organic matter. A light surface pass where needed encourages a weed chit, but deeper movement is avoided unless it is justified. “As far as I’m concerned, I’m trying to put as much back in the soil as we’re taking out, if not more,” he says. He is comfortable calling the approach regenerative farming, but only in practical terms – the system still has to perform commercially. It was a refreshingly realistic, practical, and forward-thinking mindset. “The bottom line is still that we are building

Sat next to a Sumo DD, Richard places great emphasis on proper machinery storage.

Feedback that Richard gave on the drill led to various modifications, including an increased trash clearance. yields and increasing the five-year average on the farm. That’s key,” he says. Over time, he says soil structure and organic matter have improved. Some tenanted farms have arrived with organic matter levels as low as 0.5–1.5%, while land that has been in the system for several years is now into the fours and fives. “There are a lot of people out there who go, ‘What’s the secret?’” he says. “It’s time and hard work. People are looking for that fix now, and it’s not there.” For Richard, the DTS helped the farm stick with that long-term direction. The confidence to reduce cultivations, retain more residue and build soil condition came partly from having a drill that could still establish crops reliably on heavy land.

DTS and DD working together The DTS is no longer the only direct drill on the farm. Since 2019, Richard has also run a Sumo DD, and he sees the two machines as complementary options. Oilseed rape, for example, now tends to be drilled with the DD. Richard says late-planted rape benefits from the disc drill’s ability to place seed at a precise depth, giving a more even crop and helping to reduce slug pressure. The DTS remains central for wheat, beans and spring oats, depending on conditions. Where land has already been subsoiled, the DD may follow. Where structure is good but Richard still wants the benefit of a leading tine, the DTS is used. “Between the two of them, they pretty much

cover every single base you ever wanted,” he says. Flexibility is important because he does not want to apply one establishment answer across the whole farm. Subsoiling is done case by case, and the choice of drill follows what the field needs rather than a fixed policy. In that context, the DTS is valued for giving Richard a middle ground: lower disturbance than his previous cultivation system, but with more soil movement and loosening in the row than a disconly drill.

Lower costs and fewer passes The change has simplified the establishment fleet and reduced cost. Compared with the previous Trio and pressbased system, Richard says establishment costs have fallen by about 50%. At least two passes have been removed, but he says the bigger change is in labour and machinery requirement. “When I changed to this system, I was about 800 acres and I was needing at least three of us to do it,” he says. “Now, 3,000 acres – I can do the whole lot with three of us.” Today, the core establishment line-up is far simpler, built around the DTS, DD, tractors and seed cart rather than a long list of cultivation equipment. The DTS is pulled by a half-tracked Claas Axion 960, which Richard says gives the weight and traction needed for heavy land.

Farmer feedback shaping the next DTS Richard has also been closely involved in the development of the DTS over the years. He says early machines had issues, particularly around trash flow and blocking. Working with Sumo, the farm trialled stagger kits and different harrow combinations, with increased space between the coulters proving important for flow. That relationship has continued with the latest prototype. Richard says Sumo design engineer

Dan Cushing visited the farm several times, with feedback also sent through videos from the field. “There were endless WhatsApp videos to him,” he says. “‘This is not working. This is working. This is really good. This needs changing.’” For Richard, willingness to listen is one of Sumo’s biggest strengths. “These guys understand,” he says. “Sumo understands, listens to farmers and then builds the kit.” That approach is reflected in the latest DTS updates. Sumo has described the new version as a revamp driven by several years of learning, with customer feedback the prime influence. Changes include a 5,000-litre hopper option, higher-output metering, a revised frame, increased trash clearance, a shortened coulter body, extra stagger and more closing options. Richard says the basic principle did not need reinventing. The front opening disc, loosening tine, coulter and seed placement system already worked. The task was to make the machine stronger, easier to use and better suited to modern requirements. “The basics of the drill didn’t need a lot of tweaking,” he says. “It’s a system that works, and it’s a system that works really well.”

Don’t farm blind Despite his confidence in the DTS, Richard is clear that no drill should simply be set in the yard and sent across every field in the same way. Depth depends on the year, the field and what is found with a spade. Compaction testing and crop observations also guide decisions, particularly where previous crops have highlighted weaker areas. “You’ve got to farm the facts in front of you and farm the knowledge that you’ve gained,” he says. “Blindly set it up in the yard and off you go for the whole season – you might be in too deep, in which case you’ve just burnt another 3,000 litres of diesel, or you’ve gone in too shallow.” That practical, questioning approach sums up the farm’s wider establishment strategy. The DTS gave Richard the confidence to reduce cultivation intensity on heavy land without sacrificing establishment. It helped simplify the system, cut passes, manage blackgrass and continue building soil condition, while remaining robust enough for challenging Kent clay. After more than a decade and four iterations, the reason it has stayed on the farm is simple: the drill has continued to fit the job. Farmers who want the result have to put the work in. For Stevens Farm, the DTS has been one of the machines that made that work possible. FG

McConnel brings Tele-VFR capability to the 77-Series

McConnel’s latest 77-Series Power Arm is now available with Tele-VFR, bringing telescopic-variable forward reach technology (previously reserved for flagship heavyduty machines) to a more compact, mid-range platform. The system combines variable forward reach and telescopic movement, bringing the cutting head closer to the operator’s field of view for improved visibility, precision and comfort. Extra reach helps work around signs, posts and roadside obstacles, while the arm can also position the head behind the tractor wheel for close-in cutting in narrow lanes. A redesigned phased-ram system maintains the correct flailhead position as the arm moves forward and back, reducing weight and increasing the available range of movement. Built in Ludlow, the 77-Series combines larger pivot pins and a 48% increase in bush contact area with 70hp hydraulics as standard or an optional 85hp system. An integrated debris blower is also available.

Pioneer and Voyager controls McConnel Pioneer and Voyager controls deliver joystick control with improved float performance. The company has expanded its Power Arm control range with the introduction of the Pioneer and Voyager control systems, delivering advanced proportional joystick control combined with enhanced flotation capability and expanded auxiliary function control. Both Pioneer and Voyager provide full proportional multi-axis control, allowing simultaneous operation of arm movements and auxiliary functions. Expanded diverter capability enables direct control of additional hydraulic services, allowing operators to control more functions such as hydraulic flailhead hood, roller and additional auxiliary hydraulic services without interrupting work. Furthermore, the ‘Swap’ function allows operators to easily customise the configuration of the thumbwheels to suit their personal preference or specific task. The systems are paired with a newly designed, intuitive membrane keypad. This features twin LED status indicators that provide operators with clear, instant visual feedback on active functions and states.

Fingertip or full-hand control

a larger ergonomic joystick designed for full-hand operation. Thumbwheels mounted directly on the joystick allow intuitive multi-function control, improving ergonomics during extended working periods. Voyager joysticks are also configured for a specific hand, with left-hand and right-hand configurations available to match machine layout and operator preference.

Adjustable float pressure Designed to provide increased operator precision and improved cutting performance, Pioneer and Voyager introduce Advanced Float technology, allowing operators to fine-tune verge mowing flotation behaviour to suit varying terrain and working conditions. This system improves ground contour following while maintaining operator control, reducing scalping and delivering a more consistent finish. Unlike standard float systems, Advanced Float allows operators to actively adjust float pressure to match application requirements. When engaged, the lower joystick buttons are temporarily overridden to act as pressure controls, allowing the operator to seamlessly increase or decrease flotation pressure on-the-fly. This is particularly beneficial when working across uneven terrain or when maintaining consistent cutting height is critical. The result is improved ground following, reduced manual correction and increased productivity. Both systems provide a significant step forward from entry-level joystick controls, combining enhanced flotation performance with expanded hydraulic control capability. This allows operators to maintain consistent cutting performance while managing multiple functions simultaneously. Available across the 67-Series, 72-Series, 77-Series, and 85-Series Power Arm models, Pioneer and Voyager are ideally suited to professional operators requiring improved precision and enhanced control when working in demanding vegetation management environments.

Grants for hedgerows and tree planting on farm Farmers and landowners can access a range of public and private funding to support tree and hedgerow planting. Under DEFRA’s 2026 Capital Grants Scheme, up to £35,000 per farm is available for boundaries, trees and orchards. Payments include £19.06 per tree for planting standard hedgerow trees, £28.07 for fruit trees and £22.97 per metre for new hedges. Farm businesses can also apply year-round for agroforestry funding through the Countryside Stewardship Higher Tier Capital Grants Scheme. Through this scheme, payments of £5.40 are available for woodland trees and £17.83 for fruit trees. DEFRA says trees make farming systems more resilient to drought

and extreme weather, helping to moderate temperatures, improve water retention, and reduce wind damage. Private funding is available through the Woodland Trust’s MOREwoods initiative, covering up to 75% of the cost of planting new woodland. Farmers can apply for projects covering at least 0.5ha of land, planted at a density of 1,000–1,600 trees per hectare. The total area of woodland in the UK is estimated to cover roughly 3.3m hectares, representing 14% of the total UK land area. The Government is due to publish a new Trees Action Plan for England later this year, which will outline its plans to invest in tree planting. FG

The list includes native species such as pedunculate oak, sessile oak, Scots pine, silver birch, rowan and field maple, alongside productive commercial species including Douglas fir, Sitka spruce and Norway spruce. John agreed that oak should be a prominent element of future UK woodlands, citing recent studies suggesting that, when managed correctly, the species can reach maturity within 100 years. He said: "I believe all plantations should have timber production as a main feature, and oak is one of our most valuable hardwoods, I would highly recommend it as a key feature in future forestry projects.” FG Chartered forester John Fulcher.

Establishing new woodland has become difficult due to unfavourable planting conditions. Farmers Guide reporter Alfie White spoke to forestry expert John Fulcher, who shared his advice on giving upcoming forestry projects the greatest chance of success. John Fulcher is a chartered forester and chartered environmentalist with over 40 years of experience. He said there has been

confidence that spring rainfall would help young trees establish." However, he said that in recent seasons, this was no longer the case. "In four of the last six planting seasons, anything planted after the end of January has tended to struggle," he said, advising growers to plant early in the season where possible. John said mulching remains one of the most effective ways to help newly planted trees survive dry conditions, either applied manually or in the form of mulch mats. He explained: "Mulch helps retain moisture around the root zone. It also suppresses weeds that would otherwise compete with young trees for water and nutrients." As well as adapting planting times and mulch application, selecting tree species able to cope with future conditions is becoming more necessary. Forestry England recently assessed species against several criteria, including adaptability to future climate conditions, resistance to pests

Makita's rear handle chainsaw is cutting edge The 40VMax Makita UC030G Rear-handle XGT® Chainsaw is a high-performance cordless chainsaw designed for demanding landscaping and forestry applications. Powered by Makita’s 40VMax XGT® battery platform and a brushless motor, it delivers a cutting performance comparable to many 50cc petrol chainsaws, while offering the significant benefits of lower noise and reduced maintenance. Offering a maximum cutting speed of 29.0m/s and supplied with a 500mm bar, the UC030G is compatible with 400mm, 450mm and 500mm chain bars and chain types 85TXL or 22BPX. Currently

the most powerful saw in the range, the UC030G chainsaw delivers the power to take on hardwoods such as ash and oak. Additionally, the tool’s brushless motor significantly reduces its risk of wear as it has fewer components inside the machine, while delivering longer runtimes than comparable brushed models, the manufacturer claims. The tool has been designed with user safety as a priority to provide optimum protection during operation. For example, it locks when subjected to excessive loads and removing the load will allow the motor to restart immediately if the trigger is held down. This enables the user to continue to make the same cut without the need to retrigger and lift the saw. To find out more visit: www. makitauk.com. FG

A shift away from flail heads In an industry where efficiency and durability often pull in opposite directions, the Major MJ39 hedge cutter head series delivers both without compromise. Engineered for the demanding realities of hedge and verge maintenance, these cutter heads represent a shift away from traditional flail systems towards cleaner, faster and more sustainable cutting. The MJ39’s rotary blade system is a configuration that slices rather than smashes vegetation. Each rotor carries four overlapping blades, spinning at 82m/s, producing a crisp, tidy finish. Operators confirm that this cutting action is gentler on hedges and reduces the number of passes required. The result is a head that saves time, fuel and wear, while leaving behind a noticeably neater hedge line.

The deck is formed from Strenx 700MC high-performance steel, while Hardox wear skids protect the underside. The hydraulic motor is safeguarded by an integrated overrun clutch and the deep-sided deck contains the cut material, preventing debris scatter. Available in 0.8m and 1.43m working widths, and compatible with power arms and 2.5–14-ton excavators, the MJ39 range is versatile enough for contractors, councils and large farms. Adjustable front hoods and full-length rear rollers (on the 1.43m models) offer precise control. The Major MJ39 stands out by delivering refined cutting performance, robust engineering and exceptional productivity. For more information, visit www.majorequipment.com. FG

AUTUMN CULTIVATIONS inc TILLAGE LIVE PREVIEW

Autumn cultivation

STARTS AT THE TOP Sometimes the compacted layer in a field is obvious. Quite often though there is no problem below the surface. The real job of cultivation applies to the top few centimetres.

The nature of the job varies from field to field. Uneven cereal straw can interfere with drilling, while maize stalks and a bulky cover crop need enough damage to start breaking down. Fallow ground may only need weeds cutting off before they set seed. If the structure beneath is sound, going deeper adds cost and risks losing moisture without improving the result. The AHDB works on trash distribution in minimum tillage systems makes the point well. The poorest cereal establishment was found where loose surface material had not been spread properly. Yet deeper disc cultivation was no guarantee of a better result. In some of the trials it caused enough moisture loss to reduce establishment: a good reason to deal with the surface first.

Right tool for the job The Amazone TopCut 12000-2T works from approximately 0–3cm. Depending on its configuration, knife rollers can bruise and chop maize stalks, oilseed rape residue or a standing cover crop. Minimum TillDisc elements slice material with little soil movement. A following three-row harrow can pull apart clumps of straw and shake seed from ears or pods. Where the aim is to retain moisture and create contact with the soil, the harrow can also be replaced by a packer roller. A 12m working width and forward speeds of up to 20km/h allow a large area to be covered soon after harvest. Timing can matter as much as the tool. Warm soil and any available moisture

Initial Niab work found that shallow cultivation of OSR stubble significantly reduced beetle numbers where adults continued to emerge from the soil after harvest. Researchers are still working out exactly why but AHDB and Defra-funded research programme says most CSFB pupae are found in the top 30mm of soil, placing them within reach of an ultra-shallow TopCut pass. There is another side to the same story. Volunteer OSR can be left as a trap crop to draw beetles away from newly drilled rape elsewhere. AHDB trials recorded reductions of up to 88% in adult infestation, 76% in feeding damage and 69% in larval populations where volunteers remained until at least late September, with varying results between sites. That leaves a practical decision after combining rape. Cultivating early may disrupt pupae in the surface layer. Leaving volunteers could help protect the next crop if it is nearby.

Deeper cuts A TopCut pass gives very little soil movement. If a field needs more mixing, the Catros+ can be fitted with 480mm X-Cutter discs and worked

from 2–8cm. The wavy disc profile moves the full surface, chops residue and produces enough tilth for a stale seedbed. Alternatively, 510mm Catros+ discs extend the working depth to 14cm where there is more material to incorporate and for up to 16cm working depth the CatrosXL’s 610mm discs really achieve intense shredding and mixing. Holding that depth evenly is important. With Catros 03, the Smart Frame System rotates the disc carrier arms while the main frame stays level. Both rows continue to run at the same depth and the rear roller does not change angle every time the setting is altered. The operator can work slightly deeper through a tramline or headland without upsetting the rest of the machine.

There will still be fields where digging with a spade finds heavy compaction. Following maize, for example, heavy traffic and residue can leave a job that surface cultivation alone will not solve. The Amazone Ceus combines disc section, working from 5–14cm, with tines capable of loosening to 35cm. Each section has its own depth setting. The tines can run just below the discs or reach a compacted layer, while the discs deal with residue above. By drilling time, two neighbouring fields may look quite different and both still have been prepared in the most suitable way. One might have needed tines at 30cm to break through a genuine restriction. On sound soil, a 3cm pass may be all that is needed. FG

Matching the system to the season

Rejuvenation for stubble ground Wox Agri Services brings a practical solution to the arable sector with the Güttler tined cultivation system featuring the Supermaxx. Its proven track record over more recent offerings into the tillage market has shown a robust tine system that competes with most brands. With a ‘one tine style suits all’ approach the Supermaxx is without doubt a timeless solution for rejuvenating stubble ground and chitting un-wanted seeds in the weed seed bank. The combination of either five rows or seven rows of tines lends itself to accurate straw and residue handling in tough conditions. Fitted with an 8mm thick steel point as standard, the option of

an alternative tungsten point is the go-to fixture in the hard and dry conditions being faced by UK arable farmers this autumn. If the weather breaks, it will be an effective machine for drying out seedbeds for those who are looking into late drilling due to black-grass pressures. The machine will be on demonstration in a number of key dealer areas throughout the autumn. In most cases, the demonstration machine will be a mounted 6m seven row version. Wox Agri Services offers a full range of tine drill conversions, which are designed to help meet the demands of low cost establishment. FG

As harvest nears completion across the UK, attention turns to cultivations and creating the best possible conditions for crop establishment in soil baked hard by a hot summer. “With increasing pressure to reduce costs, preserve soil structure and improve resilience, growers are re-evaluating how they cultivate land to suit soil type and cropping system,” comments Lemken UK’s general manager Paul Creasy. Successful cultivation is about achieving the right balance. Some situations call for shallow, high-speed cultivation to encourage weed chit and incorporate residues, others demand deeper loosening to alleviate compaction and restore soil structure. Choosing the appropriate technique and machinery for each field can help to improve crop establishment, while reducing unnecessary fuel use and

From the Rubin 10 compact disc harrow for fast, intensive residue mixing, to the Karat 10 cultivator for versatile shallow or deep working, and the Juwel mounted reversible plough where inversion remains the preferred option, growers can select the approach best suited to their fields. These machines will be demonstrated at Tillage-Live 2026, where visitors can compare cultivation methods and see firsthand the quality of work achievable across varying soil conditions. Lemken specialists will be available to discuss cultivation strategies, machine set-up and practical approaches to improving establishment while supporting long-term soil health. FG

The Rubin 10 ensures thorough mixing of soil and vegetation, even when cultivating stored grain, maize straw or tall cover crop stands. Thanks to the symmetrical disc spacing, it provides intensive soil even under difficult conditions - even at shallower working depths. YOUR PARTNER FOR NEXT LEVEL FARMING

Kverneland’s additional f-drill model Kverneland has introduced a new 6m f-drill model. This version combines hydraulic folding with the ability to distribute grain and fertiliser, or two different seed types, at the wider working width. The f-drill Plus brings a second distribution head and pipework to the outfit, for those seeking more output when paired with the Rotago F power harrow and f-drill Maxi Plus front hopper. The 2200-litre hopper carries two Eldos electrically-driven seed metering units and offers a 60:40 split. Using two 3m toolbars, the 6m f-drill Plus carries a total of 48 CX-II double-entry coulters. Seed and fertiliser distribution is achieved using dual distribution heads positioned to enable hydraulic folding without interference.

“Customers have been asking for a 6m hydraulic folding, grain and fertiliser option,” explained Simon Wills, Kverneland product manager for seeding equipment. “This latest version strengthens our product range for those looking to extract maximum output and efficiency from the f-drill, when used with our Rotago F Isobus power harrow.” In addition to the folding coulterbar design, the f-drill series has received a host of upgrades, including a new hopper version called the f-drill Compact Plus, a dual front camera system with dedicated screen, and a hopper weighing. The Compact Plus hopper adds a split tank to the dual Eldos metering unit format, to suit either grain and fertiliser, or two seed types. FG

HIGHLANDER

Third axle for intensive cutting The addition of a third axle of CrossCutter Discs transforms Vaderstad’s Carrier into an even more capable ultra-shallow cultivator. By increasing the number of working discs by 50%, the distance between each disc is reduced from 12.5cm to just 8.3cm, creating a far more intensive cutting, mixing and soil-engaging action. The closer disc spacing delivers full-width cultivation, making it effective for creating stale seedbeds and encouraging weed germination, including difficult species such as blackgrass. Operating at depths of just 1–5cm and working speeds of up to 20km/h, the three-row CrossCutter Disc configuration offers improved productivity while reducing fuel

consumption, operating costs and overall time in the field. The increased cutting intensity also accelerates the breakdown of crop residues. Finely chopped straw decomposes more rapidly, encouraging earthworm activity and releasing nutrients back into the soil sooner for the benefit of the following crop. Whether your objective is stubble cultivation, residue management, moisture conservation or preparing the perfect seedbed, the three-row CrossCutter Disc system delivers exceptional performance across a wide range of conditions, the manufacturer claims. The third disc axle is available for Carrier XL 425-725, Carrier XT 425-625 and Carrier 925 FG.

POTATOES

Are potatoes facing another 2025 for storage? Juno Plant Protection Products compares the current crop to last season’s and notices a few similarities. In the late spring of 2025, Juno had some sage advice for Farmers Guide readers: “The 2025 crop in store seems to have bumped into almost every factor designed to create a difficult storage season. Early planting and emergence, followed by a (mostly) hot dry summer saw crops arriving in store in a state of considerable physiological age. The weather was also less than ideal for the application of MH for much of the key window. Harvest conditions were good (or perfect) for nearly everyone, so stores filled early, quickly and were warm. The weather kept them from cooling as swiftly as desired, and those crops, which had not sprouted in the field (plenty did), were opening their eyes much earlier than would normally be expected. Growers planning for early movement, and who would not normally expect to use a sprout suppressant, were scrambling for Chlorpropham (CIPC), advice.” UK farmers are now well through the 2026 season, and many of the growing conditions look very similar to those that the 2025 crop faced. Add to that the overhang of last year’s crop in store still trying to find a home, and the similarity becomes even more concerning. For UK growers, one positive factor is that the European crop is unlikely to repeat the records of 2025. The planted area across the continent is

Early planting and emergence, followed by a hot dry summer saw crops arriving in store in a state of considerable physiological age. well down and even higher temperatures over the Channel look as if they will depress potato yields.

Risk of early sprouting The evidence from some early potato crops – lifted with eyes unexpectedly open – suggests that many UK crops are going to arrive in store

with significant physiological age again. Once more, this is likely to result in early sprouting (possibly in the field for some varieties) and growers need to be alert to the risk. Not wishing to tempt fate, but wet and slow harvesting conditions will not help in that situation.

100-113 Potatoes.indd 101

07/08/2026 2:47 pm

POTATOES The 2025 season saw many growers, who plan for early movement from store and have had little or no need for use of sprout suppressants, seeking advice and using Biox-M for the first time. The default position for anyone putting crops into store, no matter how early movement is planned, should be to prepare for treatment.

Flexible sprout suppression The relatively flexible timing of application for Biox-M places the product in a strong position to deal with most situations and keep crops secure. Early sprouting can be addressed, with some requiring a full 90ml/t first application to do so. For more fortunate growers, with crops which break dormancy slightly later, Biox-M has worked effectively to maintain control. Growers, who hold crops for early movement in stores destined to receive seed for 2027, have the reassurance that treatment of the preceding ware crop with Biox-M in the store will not cause a problem.

Another issue facing growers is the increasing interest in measuring and reporting the carbon impact of growing and storing potatoes. Biox-M is produced by steam distilling whole crop spearmint, which has sequestered carbon during the growth. As it does not come with the GHG baggage of a synthetic product, using Biox-M as the sprout suppressant of choice is part of the long-term sustainability story.

Biox-M is distilled from whole crop spearmint.

Benefits of Biox-M Biox-M is a naturally occurring and truly sustainable product, in widespread use in the food industry. It is approved for use on organic potato crops, and has no harvest interval or MRL beyond the one-day mandatory withholding period after treatment, and is thus ideal for use on crops for which the date of movement is uncertain, the company claims. Biox-M does not leave Juno Plant Protection Ltd director, Nick Tapp.

persistent residues in the fabric of stores and boxes used for storage, making it suitable for use in stores that may subsequently be used for the storage of other crops or seed potatoes. The product is effective at higher storage temperatures, reducing the risk of acrylamide development when crop is processed. Because Biox-M sequesters carbon during growth, removing 1t of CO2 for every 1,000t of potatoes treated, it has the potential to be a component of the sustainability plan for every farm. Juno claims the product is effectively carbon neutral and that Biox-M is the only 100% natural and sustainable sprout control for potatoes. FG

in real time, removing substandard product without disrupting flow and maintaining gentle crop handling throughout. “After several site visits and configuration tweaks, we settled on a final design. Charles assured us that the Flikweert Vision optical unit would be incorporated seamlessly into the line and gave us a specific delivery and install date,” said Jonnie. Prior to installation, WW Martin and Son visited Tong’s Spilsby manufacturing facility to review the fully assembled line. “We were hugely impressed with Tong’s engineering facility. The attention to detail and skilled and happy workforce was a joy to witness. The new line looked fantastic, minor adjustments were made and the entire line was then delivered and assembled on site,” said Jonnie. Since installation, the results have exceeded expectations, with significant gains in operational efficiency. Jonnie reports: “Having now graded 4,000 tons of high-grade seed over the Tong line, we couldn’t be happier. Productivity per labour unit has doubled from our previous grading line.” Tong’s engineering and technical teams continue to support optimisation of the system to maximise output and efficiency. “Throughout the whole process, and now in the aftersales phase, the team at Tong Engineering have been particularly helpful in offering support and advice to help us maximise output of our new line. I’m delighted that I placed my business with Tong and proud to be associated with a British success story,” Jonnie concluded. FG

A Scottish seed potato grower has doubled productivity after installing a fully integrated grading line from Tong Engineering. WW Martin and Son, highgrade pre-basic seed potato producers based in North Scotland, has processed more than 4,000 tonnes through the new system, reporting significant gains in efficiency, throughput and grading consistency. The business invested in a new grading line with a clear brief: achieve four precise size splits, improve box and bag filling efficiency, increase throughput, and integrate optical sorting technology to remove defects. After reviewing four suppliers, Tong Engineering was selected to deliver the project. “From the very beginning Tong stood out from the others. The sales team, insightful and knowledgeable, couldn’t have been more helpful. They didn’t |force a sale but listened to our brief,” explained Jonnie Martin of WW Martin. Working closely with the customer, Tong engineered a fully integrated grading line incorporating Tong conveyors, EasyGrade sizing modules, a dry brusher and UniFill big bag and box filling system, designed to optimise flow and efficiency. At the heart of the system is an optical sorting unit from Flikweert Vision, fully integrated into the line to ensure consistent, high-throughput defect removal. The Flikweert Vision system uses high-resolution camera technology and intelligent image analysis to detect external and internal defects

POTATOES

Stop potatoes sprouting to reduce weight loss Good storage management guards the financial success of potato production and prevents losses. One of the best loss reduction measures is sprout suppression. As well as sprouting, experts already speak of up to 50% of the total weight loss occurring, without sprouting, in the first four weeks of storage. A preventative early application soon after store loading could be the key to preventing this loss. Sprout control with Dimethylnaphalene (the active ingredient in products such as 1,4SIGHT) is not only about preventing visible sprouts, but also about influencing physiological processes by reducing the potato respiration rate, and hence the metabolic process of conversion from starch, for sprouting energy. The mode of action of 1,4SIGHT enhances the natural dormancy of potatoes and keeps them calm. To achieve this goal, the first application in a sprout inhibition strategy should be made before the process of sprouting begins. For optimal use second and subsequent applications should be

made at first signs of new sprouting. The product labelled 1,4SIGHT was developed from the active substance discovered from the volatiles emitted by dormant potatoes by UK researchers. Sprout control is an immediately obvious benefit, but application also enhances dormancy – and reduces weight loss and shrinkage – leading to firmer potatoes. Dormancy lowers the potato’s respiration rate, slowing the loss of moisture and solids and diminishing susceptibility to pressure bruising, resulting in fresher skin finish and fewer load downgrades. 1,4SIGHT has been used very effectively as a treatment for controlling potato sprouts in several countries including the USA, Canada and New Zealand since 1995. It can be applied early or late, but before chitting has taken place. Dormfresh Ltd, the developers of this product, advise farmers not to wait for sprouts, this will increase weight loss and reduce saleable tonnage. Rather they should use the product to keep potatoes dormant, preventing losses due to absence of sprouts. Best practice is to apply 1,4SIGHT early, as most weight loss occurs in the first

month of storage. The company claims the extra benefits and tailoring dose rates make 1,4SIGHT the most cost-effective alternative to Chlorpropham, which has been banned in the UK since 2019. FG

SETTING THE STANDARD For over 25 years, 1,4SIGHT® has led the way in potato sprout controls. Unlike surface treatments, it works from within - restoring dormancy and stopping sprouting at the source. The result: longer storage, fewer losses, better potatoes. Trusted worldwide. Proven over decades. +44 1738 633 859

A cleaner, brighter, undamaged sample gives growers a commercial edge over competitors, and this is exactly why the Larrington loader is now used more overseas than in the UK. The system is popular in Slovakia, Germany, Poland, Australia, Tasmania, Japan, Ireland, Canada and the USA. Growers worldwide trust it because it protects their crop and their profit. For a loader that will safeguard your potatoes for the next 20 years, it’s cheap insurance. Book a demonstration now and see the difference for yourself. FG AS113788

Potato growers using the Larrington Guardian Box Loader may have solved the single biggest challenge in modern lifting, the company claims. That is getting potatoes from the ground into store without damaging the crop. The Guardian chute system and the original Cushion-Lock loader use controlled cushioning to place potatoes gently into the box, removing the risk of skinning, bruising and impact damage. Growers can lift straight from the field into long-term storage with confidence, knowing the crop will hold its quality for the rest of the year. The Guardian system also transforms labour efficiency. Because the crop is loaded directly into boxes without running through an expensive grader, growers can reduce

Cultivation “without compromise”

Omnivent’s new factory taking shape in Lipka, Poland.

New HQ and factory for Omnivent Dutch crop storage specialist Omnivent is building a major new headquarters and factory complex in Lipka, Poland, marking the company’s largest investment since establishing its Polish operation 30 years ago. The new facility will consolidate Omnivent’s existing operations from Lipka and nearby Sępólno Krajeńskie into a single, purpose-built site within the Lipka municipality. Construction is being carried out by general contractor Pil-Building, with completion expected next year. The expansion is a direct response to growing demand for Omnivent’s ventilation, cooling and climate control systems across European and

global potato, onion and other crop storage projects. The company says it had simply outgrown its current premises, with no room left to expand. Drone footage of the site already shows the first factory building taking shape, with steel framing erected and cladding well underway. The facility will be modern and spacious, designed to significantly increase Omnivent’s manufacturing capacity. Omnivent supplies storage climate solutions to potato growers and processors worldwide, and the investment signals continued confidence in the sector’s growth. Further construction updates are expected. FG

Drought conditions have led to lower wheat yields at harvest.

MARKET ANALYSIS

Feed wheat lifts above £200/t as grain supply tightens

Charlie Reeve, deputy editor at Farmers Guide. Wheat prices rallied during the summer months with UK feed wheat futures breaking above £200/t for the first time in more than a year, writes Charlie Reeve. The November 2026 feed wheat contract peaked at £207/t in late July before settling back to roughly £200/t in early August. Global grain markets have been supported by conflict in the Black Sea and tighter supplies in the US and Europe. Grain merchants say missile strikes on key grain infrastructure and shipping vessels in the Black Sea are creating major logistical challenges and limiting exports from the region. Looking at the domestic market, drought conditions across much of the UK led to a particularly early harvest for growers, with early estimates putting wheat yields at below 7t/ha. Total production is expected to be low, with

analysis by the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) suggesting that drought could have reduced the UK cereals and oilseeds crop by up to 2.5m tonnes. ECIU analyst Tom Lancaster said: “If these average yields hold the UK cereal and oilseeds harvest would be 19.5m tonnes, surpassing 2020 as the worst harvest on record.” Grain production in the EU was also impacted by exceptionally hot and dry conditions. The European Commission has released a tighter supply outlook, with soft wheat production in the EU now estimated at 124.4m tonnes. Markets have been incredibly volatile recently, according to Luke Carr, chief revenue officer at online grain marketing platform Hectare Trading. Mr Carr said: “Having languished at roughly the same level since last harvest, grain prices started to rise from March, really picking up

Sugar factory closure raises questions for beet farmers Growers are becoming increasingly concerned about the long-term prospects of farming sugar beet for the UK market. The proposed closure of the Cantley factory, combined with persistently low returns for growers and increased competition from imports, has raised serious questions about the viability of growing the crop. British Sugar is the sole processor of the UK’s sugar beet crop and will operate from three sites moving forward, located in Bury St Edmunds, Newark and Wissington. The firm cited low European sugar prices, high energy costs and a steady decline in volumes as the key factors behind its decision

to close its Cantley site early next year. British Sugar’s managing director, Keith Packer, said: “While this is a difficult proposal, we remain confident in the future of the UK sugar industry and believe these changes will help ensure British Sugar remains resilient, competitive and well positioned to continue investing in our people, our customers and the wider homegrown sugar industry for years to come.” Returns for sugar beet growers are already lower year on year with a fixed price of £30/t being offered to growers for up to 65% of their contract for the 2026/27 sugar beet crop, following negotiations between British Sugar and NFU Sugar.

in May, falling back again into July and then shooting up to the best prices we’ve seen for around two years. “We saw a lot of farmers rush to take advantage of the recent rally and, although most have been slightly less keen to sell since prices came off their peak, it’s important to remember that prices remain far higher than they’ve been for the past year or two. “So there are still opportunities for those who have had a good harvest.” Mr Carr added that the outlook remains uncertain, with further volatility likely, and advised farmers to stay close to the markets in order to take advantage of rallies as they occur. “It’s always better to sell at decent prices, if you know you can secure a profitable trade, than to hold out in the hope you can time the market peak perfectly,” he said. FG

This is down from a fixed price of £33/t in 2025-26 and £40/t in 2024/25. Alternatively, growers can opt to receive a guaranteed base price of £25/t, plus a marketlinked bonus for up to 100% of the contract, or an index-linked contract for up to 50% of their contract. Yield protection can also be included for a £1/t fee on both fixed and market linked bonus contracts. A new forward index-linked option is due to be trialled for the 2027/28 growing season. The domestic sugar beet sector has had to compete with greater volumes of imports, with a free trade agreement between the UK and Australia leading to greater tariff-free access for imports to the UK market. A larger general annual tariff quota (ATQ) of 325,000 tonnes for imports of raw cane sugar into the UK also came into force from 1st January 2026 and will remain in place until 2034. James Thompson, senior commercial and market analyst at NFU, said: “Sugar markets have spent much of 2026 under pressure as strong early-season production in Brazil outweighed tightening signals elsewhere. “However, recent weeks have seen markets become increasingly focused on weather developments across key producing regions, including India, Thailand and Europe. “While current supplies are far from tight, growing concerns over production risks later in the year are beginning to provide support to prices.” FG

RECRUITMENT and About People Tel: 01473 691888 Clive Last remembered by colleagues

Celebrated Suffolk farmer retires

Clive Last will be remembered by many as the CEO of Claas UK. For 10 years after his retirement from that post, he served as Chairman of the company’s Pension Trustee Board until he passed away following a long and courageous battle with cancer. The company shared this statement: “It is with great sadness that we share the news of Clive Last’s passing on 23rd July, peacefully at St Nicholas Hospice in Bury St Edmunds. “Clive began his career with MANNS of Saxham on 8th April 1974 as an Accounts Assistant and dedicated 41 years to the company. Clive served as CEO and Chairman of Claas UK until his retirement on 3rd February 2015. He continued to support the Claas family

Suffolk farmer Glenn Buckingham is retiring from his full-time role as farm manager for the Helmingham estate at Framsden. Glenn has worked on the estate, owned by the Tollemache family, for nearly 40 years. A passionate advocate of sustainable agriculture, Glenn took measures to reduce the farm’s consumption of energy, installing solar panels and introducing biostimulants to minimise fertiliser use as part of a trial funded by Nestlé. Glenn told the Stowmarket Mercury: “I will miss it – there’s no doubt about that. Agriculture is the most wonderful career – working with the challenges of the industry, working with the environment, working with soil and caring for an asset that arguably belongs to everybody. “It’s been a privilege to have

after his retirement and served as Chairman of the Claas UK DB Pension Trustee Board until his passing. “Clive will be fondly remembered by many Dealers, Pensioners, and Employees.”

ProCam strengthens crop nutrition team Leading agronomy firm ProCam has strengthened its UK technical team with the appointment of Andrew Cromie as Head of Crop Nutrition. Andrew spent eight years as an agronomist advising farmers and growers before joining Unium Bioscience, where he developed a strong commercial acumen working with nutrition, biostimulant and biological products. These two roles provide the ideal practical and technical backdrop to develop ProCam’s excellent range of nutrition products. “Practical agronomy experience and innovative bioscience

knowledge positions me perfectly to lead ProCam’s nutrition offering,” says Andrew. “Nutrition plays a pivotal role in a farmer’s ability to manage crop production in a profitable and sustainable way and UK agriculture is at a tipping point, where input efficiency, soil health and margin optimisation are paramount.” Based in Cambridgeshire, Andrew will work closely with ProCam’s suppliers and nationwide agronomy team to provide targeted, evidence-backed nutrition solutions that align well with robust agronomy advice.

worked for the Tollemache family, enjoying the agriculture and landscape, caring for the meadows, parkland, hedges and over 50 ponds on the farm and being an early entrant to Higher Level Stewardship.” Glenn will continue to work for the estate during the handover to a new manager. His retirement plans include building an eco-home with wife Jeannie and continued involvement in his local community pub, the Framsden Greyhound.

RS Fellowship for nitrogen researcher A plant scientist has been awarded a Fellowship by the Royal Society for a research program at the University of Nottingham exploring a biological nitrogen fixing process in legumes that could pave the way for more sustainable agricultural practices. Dr Manuel Frank has been

awarded £1.9m for his research into biological nitrogen fixation in plants, with the aim of reducing the need for synthetic nitrogen fertilizers used in agriculture. The University Research Fellowships are awarded to scientists in the early stages of their research career who have the potential of becoming leaders in their fields. The programme aims to support the next generation of research leaders to undertake cutting-edge research. Researchers are provided with the freedom and flexibility to pursue curiosity-driven research, form international collaborations and establish new research groups. Nitrogen is crucial for plants as it is a key component of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins.
