Out & About
The FG team spoke with David Pool, smaXtec sales manager UK & Ireland, about the company’s advanced bolus technology which o ers early disease detection, precise heat detection and calving alerts.
John gripped the steering wheel tightly and gritted his teeth, speeding up a little. Not noticing his expression, she continued: “After all I’ve had to put up with, I want the farm, the house and the car.”
And finally…
Pictured at UK Dairy Day are Barry Heaton and Antonia Evans on the Evans Vanodine stand, where they discussed new products Sapphire 1:4 and Parlour Pro with livestock editor Sarah Kidby.
Farmer John and his wife were driving back from the livestock market in the truck when, out of the blue, she turned to him and said: “John, I know we’ve been married over 20 years, but I want a divorce. I’ve been having an a air with your best friend, and he makes me happier than you ever could.”
Calmly, John replied: “No, I already have everything I need.”
The Farmers Guide team spent some time on Norbrook’s stand, where Katrina Ross and Rebecca Jesset were introducing UK Dairy Day visitors to the company’s transition cow bolus range.
Closer to home in Essex, David headed to a vineyard where a New Holland grape harvester, the rst of its kind in the UK which was supplied by Ernest Doe & Sons’ Ulting branch, was being put to work in the vines. Pictured with David is vineyard and estate manager, Andy Hares. The full story will feature in the launch issue of our sister publication, Fruit & Vine magazine.

“Oh really?” she sco ed. “What have you got left, then?” Just before they slammed into the bridge, John turned to her, smiled and replied: “The airbag.”
This month, machinery editor David Williams visited Italy with Fendt, where he was given the opportunity to try out a tractor from the company’s newly expanded 700 Vario series, as well as a new, more powerful Katana forage harvester. See page 46 to see how he got on.
At this, John veered the car toward a massive concrete bridge ahead. Nervously, she asked: “Aren’t you going to say anything? Isn’t there anything you want?”
Dr Alison Bond and Stuart Linnen of Rumenco spoke about their Maxx Calf Health for helping calves with the challenge of scours and respiratory disease.
Farmers Guide had a stand at UK Dairy Day in Telford in mid-September. The show was packed, but the team managed to visit a number of clients to nd out the latest news, as well as chatting with FG readers both old and new.
Martha Aguirre and Gus Merrick explained that Omya was shortlisted for a new product award at UK Dairy Day for its OmyaFeed C MgO; an advanced formulation compound feed for ruminants.
John gripped the wheel even harder, and increased his speed to 85mph. Oblivious, she went on: “I also want the tractors, the combine and the dog.”

As natural gas prices and supply remain volatile across Europe, this has caused further curtailment of nitrogen production from major fertiliser producers, says Open eld’s fertiliser manager, Lucy Hassall. As a result of a lack of AN availability, both the UK and Europe have seen a major uplift in urea and inhibited urea purchasing, which has caused further price increases on these grades due to demand.CFFertilisers has announced that it will now import ammonia in order to continue running the Billingham plant to produce UK N and ful l outstanding orders; an option that not all facilities have. Should any o ers on imported AN be available to the UK today, it is highly unlikely that any suppliers would commit to cargoes due to the level of risk at such high prices. We are most likely to see a continuation in urea supply with the inhibited urea being a more attractive option as an alternative to regular AN buyers. FG

Sixth-generation farmer Laszlo Szathmary grows a variety of crops including winter wheat, lucerne, maize and sun owers at Kocsordos Farm, as well as renting out parcels of his land to neighbouring farms.
Over the past decade, my father, Laszlo, and our family have encountered our fair share of challenges managing 60ha of arable land in Bihor County, Romania. As a sixth-generation farmer, however, Laszlo is determined to maintain the family legacy started by our ancestors in the 19th century.TheSzathmary family initially started farming on 12ha of land, which made them mid-level farmers for the region at that time. Laszlo still recalls his grandfather, my great-grandfather, experimenting with a wide range of crops, including barley, oats, sugar beet, wheat, maize, sun owers, and lucerne. Our family also raised cattle, swine and poultry back in the day, selling their produce in local markets.
the family farm and has been working it part-time for the last 20 years. Keeping only a small number of laying hens, he upgraded existing machinery and focused primarily on crop production.
For Laszlo, farming is a major commitment next to his full-time job in IT, which is why he only farms half of the family land. With only my uncle and my mother helping occasionally, he carries out most of the farm work throughout the year himself.
Battling the e ects of war, drought and extreme weather events:
Unlike British agriculture, Romanian farming experienced a major setback with the arrival of communism in 1945. In the years that followed, taxes on agricultural produce were raised to unreasonable heights, forcing many farmers to join collective farming units.
The majority of maize from our farm is sold directly to a trading company for export, with Laszlo transporting a small amount home for local customers. Whereas, the entire sun ower yield goes directly to an oil factory to be used for human consumption and animal feed production.
Like other arable farmers, Laszlo has adjusted his cultivation practices to suit the local climate. Since most of the rainfall occurs in the autumn and winter, he grows winter wheat to take advantage
Despite both maize and sun ower being of
The wheat varieties grown at Kocsordos Farm are Genius, Apache, and Glosa (local Romanian) varieties with good milling properties. Upon harvest, Laszlo sells most of the wheat to the local our mill, taking only a small amount home to use as seed the next year.
The family business was picked up by my paternal grandfather – a former electrician who dedicated the rest of his life to farming and continuing the family legacy. He purchased machinery and began growing wheat and maize alongside raising swine and laying hens.
Due to repeated refusal to give up their assets, our family lost all of their land, animals, and machinery in the 1950s. It wasn’t until two years after the fall of communism in 1989 that our family regained a portion of our former lands and started farming again.
A Romanian farmer’s perspective
of abundant moisture.
Despite the extreme drought conditions of the past two years, wheat yields have remained relatively high at our family farm. However, the same cannot be said about maize and sun ower yields, which have su ered heavy losses over the summer months. Irritatingly for farmers, plentiful rainfall often occurs in late August, when it does crops more harm than good.
Hot and dry summers are an ongoing hindrance
Farmers Guide sta writer, Henrietta Szathmary, returned to Romania recently to visit her family farm, run by her father Laszlo. She discusses the e ects of the Russian con ict, adding to existing challenges amid increasingly extreme weather.
Over the years, Laszlo increased the family holdings to 60ha by purchasing land from our relatives. He currently farms winter wheat, maize and sun owers on mainly clay and sand loam soils at the 30ha Kocsordos Farm, and rents the remaining parcels out to local farmers.
“It is good like this,” he says. “After the stress of o ce work, I can go and unwind in nature.”
With this year being the hottest and driest in half a century, British growers have faced unprecedented challenges in arable farming. However, in countries like Romania, prolonged periods of drought and extreme heat have been weighing down the agricultural sector for the past decade.
As for his day job, Laszlo has so far refrained from cutting the cord and going all-in with farming. With climate change bringing about unpredictable crop yields, trading the security of employment for volatile pro ts is a risk he can’t a ord to take.
After his sad passing in 2003, Laszlo took over

The typical crop rotation at Kocsordos Farm is wheat / maize / sun owers. Wheat elds are disccultivated in the autumn, followed by drilling in October and fertiliser application in the spring. To keep weeds at bay, the crops receive a post-em herbicide treatment (tribenuron-metil) in early April.
Regardinghigh.control systems, Laszlo uses a range of biocides to protect crops from weeds, insects and harmful fungi. Against fungal diseases, all crops receive fungicide seed treatment and wheat elds are sprayed in May. Common diseases threatening crops in the area include powdery mildew, downy mildew, fusarium head blight, and septoria.Tocombat weeds and insects, wheat is sprayed with herbicides in April and insecticides at the end of May. Maize and sun ower are treated again with herbicides when they reach a height of 0.5m to counter renewed weed growth.
Pictured with my father, Laszlo (l-r) are my paternal grandmother, Ilona; my mother, Anita; and me with my sister, Victoria.
With ongoing ghting cutting o Ukraine’s export routes towards the east and the sea, Romania has become a major destination for Ukrainian grain. Due to prices being signi cantly lower in the war-stricken country, Romanian traders have been importing considerable amounts of Ukrainian wheat, leading to a fall in demand for Romanian wheat.
Farming practices at the family farm
Although Romania is one of the EU’s largest wheat, maize, and sun ower exporters, it used to be much more agri-oriented than it is today. Nowadays, jobseekers turn towards opportunities in the industrial and service sectors rather than a career in Accordingagriculture.toLaszlo, farming is not attractive to younger generations, which creates further uncertainty regarding the future of farming. Most farmers are in their mid-40s and 50s, facing the prospect of having to sell or lease out their lands when they retire. These farms are often absorbed into larger operations, continually reducing the number of small farmers in the country.
• Wheat: Common windgrass (Apera spicaventi), creeping thistle (Cirsium arvense), cleavers (galium aparine)
With the lack of a pro table yield, many farmers opted to cut maize stalks prematurely for silage.
As the sole operator of our family farm, Laszlo is facing a similar future. Myself, my sister and our relatives have all made other commitments and will not be carrying on the family legacy. However, until the time comes to throw in the towel, he will continue to savour all that farming has to o er. FG
• Sun owers: Creeping thistle (Cirsium arvense), common cocklebur
Laszlo also stores some of the wheat and maize at our family home while waiting for prices to rise. However, like many other small farmers, he has limited storage capacity and is therefore at a disadvantage.Fertilisercost is currently 4–5 times what it used to be due to rising gas prices. The cost of machinery parts has also notably increased as metal prices doubled following the bombardment of Azovstal Steel Plant in Mariupol. Combined with already high fuel and energy prices, these factors will have a signi cant impact on Romanian crop production this year.
During harvest, Laszlo hires a combine harvester and operator, who is the only seasonal worker on the farm. Besides harvesting crops, he also helps with transporting grain to buyers when yields are

The impact of the Ukrainian war on Romanian agriculture
With maize, he adds fast-degrading nitrogen fertiliser to the seedbed when drilling. Two to three days later, the seedbed receives a herbicide treatment, which is repeated when the crops have reached V6–V8 stages.
Alongside rising temperatures and reduced rainfall, Romanian growers have su ered further losses due to the outbreak of war in neighbouring Ukraine on 24th February, 2022. In addition to the same e ects felt throughout Western Europe in terms of fertiliser, fuel and energy cost, Romanian farmers must also tackle a drop in wheat prices, as cheap Ukrainian grain oods the market.

hope of better prices a few months down the line.
Pests like deer, crows, pheasants, hares and small rodents can also cause considerable damage to crop elds. In Romania, deer are by far the most destructive of all pests and are abundant in number across the country. Unfortunately for growers, they are a protected species by law and hence cannot be controlled e ciently.
To make matters bleaker, irrigation isn’t a feasible option for our family farm. As much as we would like to use water to counter the drought, irrigation would only be possible via drawing a well, which is neither practical nor cost-e ective at present.
Unfortunately, there is little that Romanian farmers can do to counter plummeting wheat prices. Reducing inputs such as fertiliser and biocide use might adversely a ect crop yields and is therefore not a viable option. Instead, many farmers are choosing to hold onto their wheat in
Like many others in the area, our family farm lacks an integrated pest control system. Insecticides and good old-fashioned scarecrows are as far as most farmers go regarding pest control.
During an average year, Laszlo normally drills equal amounts of wheat, maize, and sun owers. However, given the current conditions, he is considering growing more wheat and possibly sorghum to achieve higher and more consistent yields.
Looking into the future
Other than the combine harvester, Laszlo owns all of the machinery used on our family farm. This includes a smaller 45hp and a larger 75hp tractor (FarmTrac 675 DTŋ), two ploughs, two disc harrows, a combinator, a fertiliser spreader, a sprayer, a wheat and a maize/sun ower seed drill, a roller, a maize stalk shredder, and three large trailers. When expanding his inventory, he always buys new machinery from local suppliers.
The key problem weeds for each crop are:
Fields meant for maize and sun owers are deep-ploughed in the autumn (to 30–35cm), then levelled in the spring with a combinator. Laszlo then adds complex, slow-degrading fertiliser to the soil and levels the elds once more before drilling.
The cultivation process is fairly similar for sun owers. For drilling, he uses Pioneer hybrid seeds which feature an ExpressSun herbicidetolerant trait. This type of seed has only been available for the last 10 years and has been selectively bred for herbicide resistance.
That disease control strategy is unlikely to change for later drilled crops, although Mr Lowe will make a call nearer the time. “We could have two very di erent crops this autumn, but again the rapeseed price means they are worth looking after,” he notes.
Of those, LG Aviron is rated as an 8 and 7 respectively, Auckland and Aurelia get a 7 for both diseases. DK Exstar is a little better, with 8 for LLS and phoma.
Forward rapeseed prices remain strong and there is every chance early August drilled crops will grow away from CSFB as well as phoma and light leaf spot (LLS) threats. But don’t be complacent is the message from agronomists.
The most potent LLS options are either bixafen or uopyram with prothioconazole, which is also a potent combination against Phoma too. It is an autumn option for Mr Lowe if disease pressure is particularly high. Otherwise, Proline (prothioconazole), Savanna (tebuconazole) or a combination of the two are more likely.
What this season has shown us is the extremes with our current weather and a cold spell shouldn’t be ruled out. As a result, growers are being advised to stay vigilant as should this occur crops could be exposed to disease for longer.
He believes these early-drilled crops have every possibility of ‘growing away’ from pest and disease threats, but Mr Lowe sounds a note of caution. A cold spell could see growth grind to a halt and, with crops exposed for longer, disease pressure could build.
He points out the disease favours warm weather; something many areas experienced at the start of September. Research has shown the time of peak airborne spore release (ascospores) from infected stubble is during warm and humid weather. These then land on the leaves of the newly-emerged crop. Some good news is that phoma is a monocyclic disease so a well-timed fungicide preventative application should protect plants.
But he warns that timing is important as there are no real curative options. “You need to spray when thresholds are reached. No fungicide is fully
But he says disease management has to start with variety selection, and he is pleased that a number of the top yielding varieties also have good LLS or phoma resilience and sometimes both.
Mr Stephenson, too, will treat crops with an autumn fungicide, and typically looks for actives that are e ective against both diseases.
LLScurative.”canbemore challenging. Mr Stephenson describes it as a bit of a mystery, and it can be hard to spot early on. “It can be very patchy in elds, and the spotting hard to see; sometimes the disease is almost symptomless.”
Extended OSR disease exposure possible, growers warned
Milder winters is one reason why LLS has continued to be a problem in some seasons, despite reduced OSR area. ADAS research has shown that LLS spores need 17 hours of leaf wetness for leaf infection to occur, so the warmer and wetter it is the more quickly the disease will cycle. In ideal conditions the latent period could be as short as 17 days.
In his area, light leaf spot (LLS) is the key threat – although a ‘southern summer’ could lead to an increased phoma threat. Mr Lowe has used Bayer’s Spotcheck service in the past, and is likely to do so again this season. It is worth noting it has recorded the disease in the most northerly of Scottish regions.
remain buoyant. Even a small uplift in yield is likely to pay handsomely.”
Mr Stephenson also is mindful of resistance management. “Prothioconazole suits all OSR disease timings so it is used extensively in WOSR. The addition of bixafen (Aviator) is certainly welcome, bringing another mode of action,” he notes.
At owering, Mr Lowe is almost certain to go down the bixafen or uopyram route plus prothioconazole to tackle sclerotinia.
It is a rain-driven disease, and ADAS guidance is that phoma thresholds are typically reached after 20 rain events after drilling. And, with crop going into the ground in early August, Mr Stephenson
suggests this could be reached earlier than the typical late October/early November period, so he advises growers to remain cautious.
ADAS is partnering Bayer with the SpotCheck service, and ADAS plant pathologist Philip Walker notes that the disease is very di cult to spot in the early stages of infection. “In its early phase, LLS expresses itself as small white dots scattered across the top or underside of the leaf, where the fungus is erupting from the leaf surface. They can look like tiny grains of sugar but without a hand lens or microscope they are di cult to spot.”
Hard to spot
SpotCheck has another purpose for him, and that is justifying treatments. He is looking to use any fungicide as appropriately as possible, matching rates to re ect varietal resilience and disease severity.
There are number of autumn fungicide options but he cautions not all are e ective against both LLS and phoma.
He too has used Bayer’s SpotCheck service to corroborate what he believes might be happening in a eld. Again, he stresses the importance of timing. “You have to spray when symptoms appear. If it takes hold the damage is done.”
A little further south in North Yorkshire, AICC agronomist Patrick Stephenson has the twin challenges of LLS and phoma. He considers LLS still the greater threat in most seasons but, like Mr Lowe, believes phoma could be as prevalent this year.

And whilst the winter months might not see optimum conditions, the disease will cycle in temperatures as low as 4°C, so it can remain active during the winter. FG

He appreciates that, if crops grow away from disease, it does bring the question of an autumn fungicide into call; but his view is, with the potential impact of LLS, the price of rapeseed and that growers are likely to be making a pass with a stem weevil treatment or Kerb (propyzamide) the inclusion of a fungicide is added peace of mind. “Currently there is plenty of potential in Augustdrilled crops and rapeseed prices are likely to

Fungicide performance for oilseed rape
The only control option for verticillium is to grow a resistant variety, with some of the modern resistant options being more able to withstand infection, likely through increased vigour, good standing power and genetic pod shatter resistance. Currently, the AHDB Recommended List does not feature ratings for verticillium resistance, although this is something that is expected to be introduced soon.

Should OSR areas increase as a result of higher prices and demand, Mr Walker says there may be a raised risk of disease carry over from previous crops to the new crop, particularly the leaf diseases phoma leaf spot and light leaf spot; this is because their initial phase of disease development is as air borne spores which remain in the stubbles of the previous crop. These are infectious to the newly growing crop. As it’s been so dry this summer, Mr Walker feels we could possibly be seeing a low-risk autumn for phoma, as you need a certain amount of rainfall for infected stubbles to release spores

Whereas this year, a lack of moisture has caused premature senescence, making symptoms clearer.

Increased expression of verticillium symptoms
Both azoles and non-azoles are still performing strongly in light leaf spot trials, and there have been no anecdotal reports suggesting otherwise on-farm.
Mr Walker says verticillium symptoms were more obvious in crops this year, due to the dry conditions in the spring – often a ecting growers who already had an issue with verticillium in the past. Hot spot areas in Su olk and Cambridgeshire have been particularly a ected, although some growers in the West Country also reported verticillium this year.

Nutrient availability is key to getting the crop through those rst phases of growth quickly, e ciently and in a robust manner. For this reason, crop management needs to promote the development of a su cient number of seeds, and for a crop to reach its full yield potential, each seed needs to ll completely.

Boron is one of the most important micronutrients in oilseed rape. A boron de ciency often occurs in calcareous soils and with rapid cell formation and division. A de ciency can lead to a signi cant loss of yield and quality.

“Putting down NPKS fertiliser during the drilling process (or as soon as possible thereafter) is a good way to kickstart this process, which hopefully you were able to put into action this year,” explains Yara agronomy operations manager, Natalie Wood (pictured).
autumn for oilseed is to use a multinutrient, crop-speci c product, preferably containing magnesium, manganese, copper, zinc, boron, molybdenum and a small amount of nitrogen – all of which vital to OSR growth. When it comes to micronutrients, oilseed rape, like any other crop, has speci c requirements. If not met, these will result in yield losses.

To do this, it is essential to try to ensure that there are no limiting factors to its growth, which is where micronutrients come in.

Manganese is important for chlorophyll formation and photosynthesis. Ms Wood adds: “Of all the micronutrients, OSR has the highest manganese requirement. Similarly to boron, in practice, a defect often remains undetected because it is often only latent.” It should be noted that the risk of manganese de ciency is signi cantly increased for crops on light and well-aerated soils. the past six years, Yara has conducted trials which have shown an average yield response of 0.33t/ha from an application multi-nutrient product, Brassitrel Pro,” comments

It is suitable for use in all crops and fully approved for use in organics. In cereals at the standard rate, 3-litres/t, it has delivered yield responses in the range of 200–500+ kg/ha in a wide range of climatic conditions, making it a very cost-e ective input.
AminoA’s natural bio-stimulant and nutrient source, AminoA FLO, has consistently revealed evidence of both performance and cost bene ts in interaction with fungicides, across independent and replicated trials.

Soil management is an essential component of slug control. In fact, land/seedbed preparation and quality are potentially even more important than the chemical control of slugs. This is particularly true for combinable crops.
The management of slugs is often more critical following higher-risk crops in the rotation. For example, slug damage is greater after leafy crops, which create moist soil conditions, and crops grown for
Mechanical cultivations are e ective at reducing slug populations, with the most intensive and e ective option being ploughing. However, even minimum tillage gives a considerable reduction in slug damage, compared with direct drilling.

The chemical content of bait/pellets a ects their attractiveness to slugs, and their durability. Too much active substance may deter slugs from feeding before receiving a lethal dose. Too little may also prevent slugs receiving a lethal dose, especially in larger slugs. There are no records of resistance to plant protection products authorised for slug control.
Ferric phosphate
A biological molluscicide, based on a nematode parasite of slugs (Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita), is available. Unlike pellets, nematodes can target soil-dwelling slugs, as well as surface-active slugs. However, slugs may not feed or rest on substrates treated with nematodes.
For more advice from AHDB, libraryhttps://ahdb.org.uk/knowledge-visit
Ferric phosphate is particularly suitable for organic systems. Slugs quickly stop feeding, become less mobile and die within 3–6 days. As slugs often die underground, e ectiveness of the treatment should be measured by the decrease of feeding damage in the crop, as with the cessation of metaldehyde only happening recently, farmers may still think success should be measured by the number of dead slugs they can see. FG
The nematodes enter the slug’s shell sack (mantle) and release bacteria from their guts. The nematodes feed on the multiplying bacteria. Eventually, the slug’s mantle swells and bursts. Although it usually takes 7–21 days for an infected slug to die, it stops feeding soon after the nematode enters the body. When the slug dies, the nematodes feed on it until the food source is depleted. They then leave in search of more slugs.

Due to relatively high costs, biological control of slugs is particularly suited to organic systems and high-value crops. It is also extremely useful in situations where it is di cult to target the slugs e ectively with pellets, such as in mature lettuce crops.
The grey eld slug is highly vulnerable to the nematode but larger species are only susceptible when they are young and small.
Nematodes can be applied in advance of expected damage, at sowing or any time during the crop’s lifetime. However, they are best applied in dull weather, in the evening and before rain. Success is dependent on wet conditions after application.Inidealconditions, nematodes provide a reduction in damage for about six weeks after application.

Despite growing grassweed problems across the country, many growers are keen to minimise their wheat establishment risks by drilling earlier than advisable for the best cultural control, reveals the latest in a series of national studies. This will put particular pressure on pre-em herbicides, making the most robust resilient programmes more essential than ever.
Figure 1: Changes in main grassweed problems
Conducted by Gowan Crop Protection this summer, with more than 260 growers up and down the UK managing a total of just under 90,000ha of cropping, the 2022 National Grassweed Management Study spans a broad range of enterprises, establishment regimes and weed management practices.
“Black-grass continues to be much more problematic in the south and east of the country than in the west and north,” Mr King notes. “If anything, though, the weed now appears to be more of an issue in the southern counties than in the historically worst-a ected eastern regions. And it remains most concerning under reduced tillage regimes.
“With grassweed problems continuing to increase, it is worrying to see relatively large numbers of growers planning to drill their wheat earlier than advisable this season,”

It shows black-grass, ryegrass, brome and wild oat infestations continue to be widespread, with three quarters or more of growers having at least some problem with each, and more growers reporting an increase than a decrease in problems in each case (Figure “Interestingly,1). the proportion seeing increasing black-grass problems is lower than it was in a similarly comprehensive national survey conducted by Bayer in 2016,” points out study co-ordinator, Hank
The 2022 study shows black-grass remaining the most signi cant grassweed issue for most growers, with nearly a quarter reporting problems across half or more of their winter cereals area and over a half across more than 10%. Wild oats are the second most problematic grassweed, with bromes and ryegrass somewhat less signi cant in their scale.
Black-grass with wild oats, and black-grass with bromes are the most widely encountered grassweed combinations, with wild oats proving a challenge in combination with other species for more than 50% of growers.
“As well as in reduced tillage systems, bromes are especially problematic in both the southern and northern counties. While there are clear hotspots elsewhere, ryegrass problems are most widespread in the south and among those with shallow min till regimes. Wild oat problems, however, are more evenly distributed across the country and, like the other grassweeds, noticeably less under
The ve most widely used cultural grassweed controls – each employed by 85% or more of growers – continue to be spring cropping, stale seedbeds, delayed autumn drilling, rotational ploughing and increased seed rates. In all cases these are being more widely used than four years ago and are scored relatively highly for their e ectiveness by growers.

“Added to this, tri-allate acts on multiple enzyme systems within the young plant to inhibit the synthesis of long chain fatty acids – including waxes. This means that weed seedlings not killed directly by the herbicide tend to emerge with substantially less leaf wax to interfere with the uptake of other chemistry.
“It will be most important under the reduced tillage regimes our study shows invariably have the greatest challenges from grassweeds. Also, where mixed grassweed populations, in general, and wild oat infestations, in particular, are problematic; not least because employing it in the autumn pre-em spray can frequently eliminate the need for subsequent wild oat spraying in the spring.” FG
“Working as vapour in the air spaces within the soil rather than in the moisture ensures Avadex maintains as much e ectiveness as possible in drier seedbeds,” explains Mr King. “Its very low water solubility also means excessive rainfall has far less e ect on it than other chemistry.

Pre-em performance
“The season-proo ng Avadex Factor so clearly provides to pre-em programmes will be particularly valuable for those drilling wheat earlier than advisable this autumn.
The nal piece of the jigsaw, according to Mr Alcock, is the herbicide programme. With RRR resistant black-grass, in recent years that’s been Crystal or Liberator + d , followed by Avadex. Going forward, the programme will contain Luximo.
The rotation on those blocks incorporates spring crops – either beans or barley – as well as winter oilseed rape and winter wheat.
According to BASF agronomy manager, Richard Guest (pictured), the replicated trials showed the value of pendimethalin as a partner to Luximo. This will be supplied in the pack as Stomp Aqua.
“We’ve had three years of trials here in various di erent elds,” he explains. “The sites had the perfect soil for black-grass with a high clay fraction that lies wet over the winter. The black-grass itself is as challenging as you’ll nd anywhere in the country – it’s RRR resistant.”
“Theeld.trials also helped con rm Luximo’s place in the herbicide programme – pre-emergence has always been the best technical t. They also showed that partnering Luximo with pendimethalin is how to get the most control.”
“While Luximo o ers great improvements in herbicide control, the use of cultural controls such as spring cropping, delayed drilling, higher seeding rates, must come rst.” FG
“We’ve also increased seed rates, and where we used traditional vigorous non-inversion tillage going 5–6in deep, we’re now managing the seedbank in the top few inches of soil with minimum tillage.
“We encourage germination over the autumn and winter and spray o seedlings to reduce the weed burden. Those shallow cultivations are enough to create a seedbed in which we can direct drill with either the Horsch Serto Drill or a Sumo DTS Drill.
“We’ve been using this approach for so long that any seed down at depth will no longer be viable. Consequently, we’re now discussing rotational ploughing.”
Encouraging leap forward in black-grass control
Having hosted trials at one of his client’s farms, independent agronomist, Richard Alcock, has seen Luximo perform across multiple seasons, on a population he knows well.
“With resistant black-grass, the di erent mode of action is critical, but that is also something we need to protect by retaining the cultural controls and maximising its performance in any way that we can.
“We’ve put the trials in places where we know there will be a challenge,” he says. “It’s a good way of testing the product, and we’ve had some very good results.”
“Nathan inherited a black-grass problem, when he took on some new business units,” explains Mr Alcock. “With quite a sizeable enterprise, spread across about seven miles, for economic and logistical reasons, we tend to block crop.”
The trials have taken place at Nathan Hopkins’ farm in Yeovil in Somerset. It’s a business that’s grown rapidly since 2004, and now includes 1,200ha of arable land and 200ha of grassland. With four separate farms, soil types vary from Cotswold-type brash to very heavy clay.
The battle against black-grass could well be easier this autumn with a new grassweed herbicide now available from BASF.
On-farm trials
Luximo is the brand name for cinmethylin – a completely new active with a new mode of action that has the potential to turn the tide for those battling with highly resistant strains of black-grass.
“Luximo’s performance here mirrored that of other trials; it was always incredibly high, consistently o ering more than 20 percentage points additional control.
“Extensive Luximo testing has found no direct cross resistance to any existing chemistry. These trials demonstrate how valuable that is in the
“We try to maximise late drilling. Where there is black-grass, the target drilling date for winter wheat is 25th October. Last year, we went at the beginning of the month because the forecast suggested that the weather was going to break and it would be unlikely that we’d get back onto the elds. As a result, the stale seedbeds didn’t work as well as we’d have liked, and we’ve more black-grass in some crops. In previous years, we’ve made the target drilling window and bene ted from lower seed return and lower black-grass populations.”

“It is a premium product, but having experienced the extra control it brings, it’s well worth the investment.”

“It’s proven to be a substantial step up for black-grass control, and I’ve already pre-ordered Luximo for the whole wheat acreage here.

The trials work at Mr Hopkins’ farm contributedhas to the development of BASF’s o ering.
“Having seen Luximo in trials for three years now, I’ve con dence in the product and want it to play a central role in the pre-emergence stacks we apply.
While delayed drilling is undoubtedly high on the list, for Mr Alcock it’s been changing the rotation that has had the biggest impact.“We’ve dramatically reduced the second wheat area as it is a potential hotspot for increasing the black-grass problem. It’s not nearly as competitive as some of the hybrid barley that we grow and doesn’t have the same capacity for out-of-crop control.

The 2021/22 growing season began with little drama – a mild autumn and winter provided adequate rainfall, followed by a warm, dry spring which allowed crops to progress rapidly. Wetter conditions increased the risk for all the key foliar diseases come May, but this rainfall was shortlived as the hotter-than-average and very dry June and July, leading into early August, resulted in early senescence. Although this will have limited yield potential, both breeders and growers are reporting some positive results.

One 22ha block of Skyfall averaged 10t/ha and a further 33ha averaged 11.6t/ha. The 40ha of RGT Illustrious averaged 10.8t/ha. Protein levels, Hagberg scores and speci c weights exceeded speci cation.

“The crop was drilled in early December after sugar beet and did phenomenally well, yielding 11–12t/ ha,” says Mr Goodger. “It was the best bit of wheat we had.”
Oxfordshire farmer Adrian Taylor has reported another very successful harvest for RAGT’s Group 1 breadmaking wheats at Clattercote Priory Farm, Claydon.
“Our new RL Group 2 variety KWS Palladium has also made a promising start in its rst year of commercial production with some yields approaching 14t/ha and good protein levels ensuring its popularity can only grow.”
“Although yields have been pleasing, protein levels across the board have su ered as a result of the lack of rainfall in recent weeks combined with the potential cutbacks in nitrogen applied due to the high prices.”
“Rather than cherry-pick the highest yields, we’ve chosen examples that re ect wider experience to indicate what new growers can realistically expect.
“Su cient rainfall at the right time has been key. But good management that takes account of a variety’s agronomic strengths and weaknesses, plus the consistency across regions, rotational positions and soil types seen in most of our wheats, has played a big partAndrewtoo.”
Ken Goodger’s RGT Bairstow was his “best bit of wheat”.
Mr Pitts believes the yield re ects years of soil improvements and the massive amount of sunshine thisHeseason.saysRGT Bairstow was cheap to grow. “We omitted the T0 and the T1, as it was dry and there was no disease to be seen, and followed up with 1.2 litres of Ascra Xpro at T2.

“Wheat yields in general have been much better than expected, and our new and established varieties have produced some excellent results.
Despite drought conditions towards the end of the growing season and an earlier harvest than in most years, yields have generally held up well across the country, says KWS UK country manager Will Compson (pictured).
Pitts had his second-best wheat harvest at the Grange, Mears Ashby in Northamptonshire, despite receiving just 25mm of rain between May and Groupharvest.4newcomer RGT Bairstow grown as a rst wheat for seed after peas exceeded 11t/ha across 30ha of medium-bodied soils.

RGT Illustrious has the edge over Skyfall on disease resistance scores, particularly yellow rust. “But as long as you are on the ball, it is easy enough to control,” Mr Taylor comments.
“We had nished harvesting all our seed crops at Thriplow, Cambridgeshire, by 10th August, which is a good 10 days earlier than normal,” he explains.“Despite the challenging conditions later in the season, yields have been strong across most of the country with much of this down to the predominantly good seedbeds crops went into and the amount of sunlight they received throughout the year, particularly in June.

On the barley front, KWS Tardis has lived up to its promise with many crops on-farm delivering yields to match the best six row hybrids, he says. “We’ve seen yields of over 13t/ ha in the East of the country for KWS Tardis, which is truly remarkable considering the year we have had.” FG

Testing the market with 5–10% of your holding is not the end of farming as you know it, and allowing the companies being set up to lead in the market to do all this for you may also work – while taking a rent may be a lot less lucrative, they take the risk.
Once you have your ideal land parcel and have decided broadly what to target – biodiversity, carbon or, in speci c locations, nutrient management – it’s a case of working out how much it is going to cost you to change and manage the new landscape.

With BNG units starting to ‘trade’ in the £1525K bracket, original estimations of £30k per acre don’t look too far out. On 25 acres, a receipt of some £750,000, but remember that’s for at least 30 years of land management. There is no one size ts all cost to deliver a scheme on your land; it is as varied as what it costs to grow an acre of wheat or barley. The best schemes will move the management of the land from a modern intensive agricultural model to a much lower intensity agricultural use, which will allow your agricultural business to continue to manage the site.
If I was interested in putting 50 acres into a habitat scheme, I might be convinced to let half that area to a third party to get it up and running and, if it is successful, I might then look to be more directly involved in the second tranche.
We are also now seeing that the value of BNG units is likely to set the baseline for other environmental credits which is giving us all a base to work from.

We are still waiting for the government systems to fall into place to allow the rst serious natural capital market to get going. However, deals are starting to be struck, with these nascent market arrangements being structured as ‘options’ for developers to call on the land if required.
By some of the simple calculators, up to two BNG units can be produced per acre of farmland o ered into a scheme. Depending on scale, there are di erent approaches – a 500-acre farm might choose to put 25 or 50 acres in one block over to environmental services. Whereas if you are thinking of a whole farm conservation scheme where, say, 25 acres is spread across the hedges and stream banks of a 250-acre block, I would consider how easy (or not) it will be to unstitch a 30-year conservation covenant which, whilst only covering 10% of your holding, wraps around most of the main land blocks.
Farm businesses are already starting to adapt to these changes and more will follow.

Farm consultancy expert Mark Russell, a partner at Carter Jonas, advises questioning anyone who tells you they’ve already traded biodiversity net gain (BNG) units. There is very little real trading going on yet, but as a market, it is starting to mature.
In many cases, third parties have set themselves up as the delivery mechanism to allow farmers to act together.

What is also becoming clear is that being ready to play in one market (say BNG) opens up a number of others, for instance environmental and social governance (ESG). The practical actions can be very similar so, in practice, adapting a scheme is relatively simple.

Agricultural insurance specialist, A-Plan Rural, stresses the importance of assessing rebuild values to ensure your insurance policy contains the right amount of cover.
• You can’t always predict exactly where building costs will be in a year but adding Day One Uplift to the sum insured is a relatively inexpensive way of protecting your business from building cost rises throughout the term.
The risk is that, if you need to make a claim on a building that is underinsured, it may not be paid out. Or you might only receive a percentage of the claim (known as averaging). Using BCH gures as an example, if you insure your farm building for £100,000 but its actual re-build cost is £166,000 and you su er a loss of £30,000, your insurance is likely only to pay £18,072.
As ever, it’s well worth speaking to your broker, who can help you avoid underinsurance and the costs it can entail. FG

“As an alternative, you could opt for a sample valuation of a few properties. You can use this to identify any major changes and consider whether the sums insured on your other buildings need adjusting
Accurate rebuild values key to insurance cover
“The more current problem is restricted supply chains, rising building material costs and the shortage of labour which have all contributed to substantially higher rebuild costs.”
“A whole farm valuation can be expensive, but you don’t need to have one every year –we’d recommend having it done around every three to ve years. But in the intervening years, we’d still recommend you check the sums insured.
• Notify your insurer of changes as they happen, such as building works, extensions, additions or overhauls. Otherwise, it’s easy to forget everything that has happened in a year
Whateveralso.”you decide to do, there are a couple of important bits of advice to help avoid underinsurance:
Each year, when farmers review their insurances, they should be asked to con rm whether the rebuild values for all their buildings remain accurate. Farmers might be aware that costs have gone up and the supply of some materials is an issue, but might not know the extent and therefore the urgent need to assess rebuild values for both old and new farm buildings to avoid beingA-Planunderinsured.Ruraladvises that if you don’t assess rebuild costs properly, then you could end up underinsuring the property. This means that the declared sum insured is not enough to cover the actual replacement cost. Underinsuring will mean that in the event of a claim your insurer won’t pay the full amount or may not pay out at all.
(including materials and labour) but also takes account of site clearance cost following a loss and professional fees.
So, what can be done to avoid being underinsured? For a start, it can help to check index linking rates provided by your insurer. These re ect changes in national building costs, although they won’t be speci c to your farm.
Freddie goes on to o er this advice: “The belt-and-braces approach is to have a whole farm valuation done, to ensure that all buildings are insured accurately. This has the added advantage that some insurers will also guarantee
This is really common with farms and estates, with 85% underinsured, according to valuations by building insurance valuer Barrett Corp Harrington (BCH). Its data also shows that rebuild values are signi cantly underinsured (average of 66%).Freddie Braithwaite-Exley, account executive at A-Plan Rural, explains more: “Part of the problem may be confusion between ‘rebuild cost’ and market value. The rebuild cost (Sum Insured) covers the expense of rebuilding a property

Custom vacuum grippers such as one which picks three, 30kg bags of hay per cycle and cardboard and plastic tray grippers are also available from Bradley Engineering.
In the past, robots gained a somewhat poor reputation for stack quality. This was due not to the robots themselves, but the lack of proper bag presentation and gripping technology. On service jobs, Bradley Engineering says all too often it has found some adjustments to the bag infeed conveyors and the gripping type makes a far greater impact than the robot programme itself.

This o ers greater feedback to help improve accuracy and manage ll up logistics to limit the number of empty runs and reduce soil compaction.Furtheradvantages include being able to enter a target application rate for blanket coverage, with the spreader monitoring the load and adjusting oor speed in relation to product weight loss.
Bradley Engineering therefore developed its bag gripper with 100% bag consistency in mind. It has three main functions: The claw, which carries the bag; the wings, which guide it; and the centre plunger, which keeps it in place while travelling.

Users get back-up from Bunning directly, without going through a third party, which allows a quicker response. Bunning sales director Chris Druce says: “Spreading valuable fertiliser products at the right time to make the most of weather windows and increase accuracy means farmers need reliable machinery. As we supply back-up to the whole machine, including the technology, downtime is minimised, allowing crop and soil nutrition to be applied when it is needed.”
These functions are independent of each other, so when the claw is retracted the wings are not and the bag can only go in one direction: directly down without roll or wobble. The bags are straightened and tightened when picked, dealing with any inconsistencies. Couple this with pneumatic cylinder position monitoring and the robot can produce a safe, reliable

The Sub-Line is designed to achieve the maximum e ciency from your soil by lifting and shattering compaction, allowing air, water and nutrients to ow into the substructure, thus enabling the roots and microbacteria to ful l their potential. The strong environmental credentials of this machine include its contoured, low-draft legs, which are mounted in-line, achieving great lift and shatter with minimal horsepower and fuel consumption. It also helps water dissipate through the soil structure preventing ash run-o , or worse, standing water that will further compact the soil, deprive the soil of oxygen and emit greenhouse gases. Additionally, like all Ceres machinery, the Sub-Line is designed, built and manufactured in the UK, reducing its carbon footprint.

Now is the time to be thinking about preparing your grassland for winter – the Ceres Sub-Line Grassland Subsoiler is a “lowcost, but highly e cient way to rejuvenate and sustain healthy grassland, by relieving compression from the year’s livestock, water and general tra c, with minimal disturbance, and helping to prevent water damage and further compression throughout the winter”.
The Sub-Line is available from a single leg machine up to a ve-leg machine. All sizes are compatible with Category 2 linkage, from 40–190hp. FG
The Sub-Line is suitable for all levels of soil management, including contractors and farmers, and as it has been designed for UK soils, it can be more e ective than other more expensive machines. The leading discs have independent suspension to help prevent damage to the discs and overload and shock of bearings. All of the discs can be adjusted with one handle, which has six working positions and one out-of-work position. The discs can be kept in their optimum working position, cutting through the sward cleanly, allowing the leg to pass through without tearing the surface.

Fendt Dynamic Performance, standard on the 728 Vario, provides the extra 20hp boost only when it is needed, but it is always available even for stationary working applications. The power demands of ancillary systems such as the cooling fan, air conditioning, lights, PTO, hydraulic pump and transmission are constantly monitored, and the engine output is uprated to compensate so that power available for the main task remains constant.

The new 700 Vario models have a completely new AgcoPower engine and a concentric cooling system.
tractors boast extremely compact dimensions and an impressive 30.5kg/ hp power-to-weight ratio, making them particularly manoeuvrable and minimising ground pressure and compaction. Ideal weight distribution can be achieved, with ballast added front and rear up to a maximum gross vehicle weight of 15t.
Longer wheelbase

New engines
“To get the best from the tractor, the operator has to bear in mind the low engine speed concept,” explained Fendt tractor product specialist Peter Settele. “There is no advantage to running the engine at high revs. The economy PTO setting achieves the rated output speed at 1,300rpm rather than the standard 1,650rpm, but I would only use it for implements with an extremely low power requirement, or when implements are too small for the tractor. Otherwise, there is no real bene t in terms of reducing the fuel consumption as the engine achieves maximum e ciency across the standard working speed range.”
The engine and transmission are both brand new. It is the rst time that Fendt has introduced a previously unused engine and gearbox simultaneously on the same tractor.
that the ‘sweet spot’ for operation is between 1,400–1,500rpm where near maximum power and torque are produced simultaneously.
The new models feature a 2,900mm wheelbase – signi cantly longer than the current 700 Vario series. This results in an even better ride, greater lift capacity and improved ability to transfer power to the ground. Despite the long wheelbase the new tractors have an incredibly tight turning radius for their size –and match the manoeuvrability of the smaller 500 Vario models. They can be supplied with a 60in track width and narrow dual wheels – for specialist row crop applications. Tyres up to 2.05m diameter can be tted – increased from 1.95m on existing 700 Vario models. On the 726 Vario and 728 Vario, 650/85R38 rear tyres are standard and 650/65R42 tyres are an option. Fendt 720 Vario, 722 Vario and 724 Vario models feature the smaller size as standard.
There are ve new 700 Vario models, from 203hp to more than 300hp, and the series meets growing demand for extremely versatile tractors capable of heavy draft work and demanding transport applications, but which are also light enough for top-work, and tasks such as spray and fertiliser applications. The new models will be o ered alongside the existing 6th generation 700 Vario line-up, and deliveries commence next year.

Rather than sucking air through the cooling packs, Fendt’s Concentric system pushes it through using a hydraulic-driven fan. Because the air is at ambient temperature and denser than air already warmed by the cooling packs, the system requires a lower air volume than traditional systems – reducing the fan power requirement by up to 40%. The fan speed is independent of the engine revs, and the cooling system can respond quickly if any cooling circuits require extra air ow, and the vacuum created by the fan is used to extract dust from the primary air cleaner, reducing the cleaning requirement. An automatic reversing fan is an option – helping keep the cooling packs clear of dust andThedebris.surface below the cooling packs is at, and with no fan between, they are easily cleaned by washing or blowing out. “If it’s easy then people will do it,” stressed Peter. “Clean coolers mean improved fuel consumption as less cooling power is needed.”Anadditional advantage of the Concentric fan layout is that it allows a wasp waist and a narrow engine hood, and the new 700 Vario tractors

Hydraulic performance
Unlike conventional four-wheel drive systems, VarioDrive distributes torque to the front and rear axles dynamically. A single hydraulic pump powers two drive motors. One delivers uninterrupted torque through a hydro-mechanical drive to the rear axle and the other drives the front axle. An intelligent clutch distributes the torque to the axle with most traction to maximise pulling performance.
Many 700 Vario-series tractors will be supplied with front loaders, and new Cargo and Cargo Pro 6.100 versions with a wider frame, extra strength and an upgraded mounting system have been added to the line-up. “These are designed to withstand the extra power and torque from tractors

With no xed ratio between the front and rear wheels, the steering is light and there is little scrubbing – which will result in a longer tyre life particularly for yardbased operations on hard surfaces.

Fendt’s VarioDrive transmission concept was rst used on the agship 1000 Vario series, and the latest 900 Vario models have it too. Now, a smaller version (TA190) has been developed for the seventh generation 700 Vario series tractors.

Because the front and rear axles are driven independently, the system can increase the speed of the front wheels so that they pull the front of the tractor towards the steering direction.

The Katana’s chopping drum is the industry’s largest at 720mm diameter, and it can be tted with 20, 28 or 40 knives for a chop length from 2.6–41.4mm. The knife sharpening system continually adjusts the stone during use, so that the entire blade width is sharpened gently and evenly. This maintains optimal chopping performance and maximises the blade working life. The blades are mounted on slotted holes and can be repositioned so that the entire length is utilised.Choplength is controlled by the rotation speed of the six feed rollers, through a gearbox with two speed ranges and a hydraulic drive with two virtualFendt’sranges.range of 300mm diameter crackers includes an R version with a sawtooth pro le, and the RS with a V spiral groove.

Roland said that the new tractors bridge the gap between the current sixth-generation 700 Vario series, and larger 800 Vario and 900 Vario models. “The compact size and excellent manoeuvrability make them extremely versatile, and suitable for year-around use,” he added. “All tractors are a compromise, but our new 700 Vario series is an extremely attractive option for all sorts of applications. UK dealers are very excited by the new models and believe that they will provide additional sales opportunities.”
From the header, the crop passes through six pre-compression rollers in the feed intake. These compress the crop and hold it securely as it enters the drum, ensuring consistent chop length. Metal and stone detectors in the rst feed rollers, 920mm in front of the drum, allow plenty of time to stop the ow and prevent damage.

Advantages of the Katana’s design include cruise control which allows the user to set a maximum engine working load which is maintained automatically by adjusting the travel speed, and the unblocking process which allows the feed rollers to be reversed without the table feed reversing at the same time – preventing the crop being ejected out onto the eld.

“The dealer looked after us well and also supplied our tractors, and we didn’t feel any pressure to change
Plenty of torque
The forage is mainly from lucerne and grass.
“However,brands.we have increased the amount of business we do with the Ernest Doe & Sons Ltd Braintree depot in recent years – including hiring eets of six New Holland tractors for the harvesting season. The team looks after us well, so when the forage harvester was due for updating this time, we were happy to consider the New Holland Forage Cruiser instead. We accepted the o er of a demonstration during harvest 2020, and it performed very well.”
Even though the harvester is only the second model in the New Holland line-up, there is plenty of torque allowing fuel e cient operation in Eco mode. This means that the engine runs slower –at the bottom end of its at torque curve – saving fuel and reducing noise. There is no reduction in chop quality, as the chop length and rotor speed remain constant, and when dense or uneven swaths create challenging conditions, then maximum power is available immediately at the touch of a dashboard-mounted button.
Immediate improvement
Initially self-loading forage harvesters with integrated bodies were used then, 16 years ago, there was a change to conventional self-propelled models purchased through a local main dealer.
“For us, the priority is harvesting forage in optimum condition then drying it as soon as possible to preserve the quality, so operating our own forage harvester is the best way to ensure we can do that,” explained Freddie. “There aren’t very many contractors with forage harvesters in our area, and even if there were then they wouldn’t be interested in coming in to cut small areas at a time during limited weather windows, or when we have the capacity to dry it.”
Ideal break crops
Service led to brand change
“We remained loyal to one brand and owned three similar machines in succession,” said Freddie.

The lucerne is grown in three- to four-year leys within arable rotations. “It’s an ideal arrangement,” explained operations manager Freddie Barclay.
Hertfordshire-based Fox Feeds Ltd has been trading since 1982 and specialises in the preparation and supply of forages and bre-based feeds, supplied predominantly to the equine market. The company started supplying haylage which had been bagged and fermented, but in 2000 a drier was installed to rapidly reduce the moisture content to 10% after which the forage is supplied immediately as a feed constituent to other feed manufacturers or stored and then sold.
harvesters was generally good, long, uncut strands were a frustration when conditions were dry. “The staggered blade layout included a gap and when the crop was especially dry there were a lot of uncut stalks. The New Holland rotor has blades right across, and we noticed an immediate improvement when we trialled it.”
The farm’s own new FR550 harvester was delivered for the start of the 2022 cutting season. “It’s easy to drive. The cab is comfortable, and the visibility all around is excellent,” said Freddie. “Lucerne can be very sticky in warm weather, and although we haven’t had any blockages so far, we had a second water jet installed by the Ernest Doe team just to help maintain an e cient ow.”
The forage is cut using tractor-mounted triple mowers, or a MacDon M1170 swather if the crop is particularly di cult to cut, then swaths are created using a rake or belt merger. The forage harvester picks up, chops and loads the forage into trailers for transport to the drying facility.
Freddie said that the New Holland’s Power Cruise mode helps achieve high work rates. “I set what I think is a reasonable working speed for the conditions, then activate Power Cruise mode and the harvester immediately speeds up by

“However, as we had hoped, the back-up has been brilliant. We received training at New Holland’s UK headquarters, and then members of the manufacturer and dealer teams were on-hand to help set the harvester up in the eld for its rst use. Within just a few hours of starting work I felt completely at home on the machine, and for anyone who has used a forager before, the New Holland controls make operation very simple. We have worked 345 engine hours since it arrived, without losing a single day due to technical issues or breakdowns.”
“It was a big leap of faith changing from a brand of forage harvester and a dealer we had known for so long, to the New Holland supported by Ernest Doe,” continued Freddie. “We had experience of Ernest Doe’s excellent customer service through hiring the tractors, and when we purchased a MacDon swather last year, but it was still a big change for us.
Quick, simple maintenance
Back-up as good as expected
Comparing the New Holland’s fuel consumption to the previous machines is di cult as no two seasons are the same, explained Freddie – but he said it seems very reasonable. Daily maintenance and checks are quickly and easily carried out, and with optional auto-lube tted there are only four, 10-hour grease nipples and 10 which require lubrication every 50 hours. The harvester is blown clean every day to prevent dust build-up.
Freddie describes dealing with the Ernest Doe team as very easy. “We feel valued as customers and are well looked after. I particularly like the WhatsApp-based customer care system. If I have a query or a fault occurs, then I just send a message to the Ernest Doe WhatsApp group, and it’s read by both the sales and service teams. That means that everyone is aware when someone responds to my query, and everyone is also aware if there has been no response. In that case, even those who wouldn’t usually get involved will step in to try to nd a solution. It’s a good system that works well.”
Options speci ed included LED lights which Freddie describes as very worthwhile, undercover servicing lights and an air blowdown kit which provides air hose connectors for maintenance and cleaning around the machine.

Chop quality, cost and back-up
“Our main priorities for a forage harvester are performance, cost, and back-up, and the New Holland satis es all three. We will probably keep it for four to ve years before it’s updated and, as long as the cost is reasonable, then it’s likely we will opt for a similar machine again. For us, being able to harvest at the right time to achieve the right quality is far more important than high work rates, and the 544hp Forage Cruiser 550 gives us the chop quality we need, and it’s backed by the brilliant Ernest Doe team,” Freddie concluded.

Merlo UK management was impressed with the Marst Agri business plan, and granted Mark and Stewart its franchise for the Su olk area on 1st September 2022. Operating for the past ve years from its established premises at Lower Layham, close to Hadleigh Showground, Marst Agri bene ts from a large yard with two substantial workshop bays, and is dedicated exclusively to Merlo.
Product and service satisfaction leads to new purchase
a 3.8t/10m Turbofarmer 38.10 also due this autumn.
“But another reason was the product itself. Much of our work involves loading grain and sugar beet, but beyond this we also carry out a lot of rewood processing, plus some landscaping and pond clearance, so our telehandler is rarely still.”
“Whenwork.they announced they were forming a dealership in addition to o ering the servicing they had provided for our previous Merlos, we were very keen to deal with Mark and Stewart based on our experiences with them,” explains Gerald.
“We do occasional servicing of general farm equipment, but don’t intend to broaden our sales into other franchises or product areas,” explains Mark.
One of Marst Agri’s rst customers when it branched out into retailing was Su olk father-and-son farm partnership Gerald and Giles Western; long-term Merlo users who farm 400ha near Framlingham. Having had three Merlo telehandlers, beginning with a Turbofarmer 32.7 in 1996 not long after Merlo had established a UK base, they have considerable experience with the marque, and were as keen to stay with Merlo when purchasing their most recent machine as they were to commit to the new dealer, having previously used Mark and Stewart for service
“But every time we try one out, we come to the conclusion that we must have another Merlo.
“Dealernance.franchise changes across the industry gave us the chance to consider entering the sales sector, and via our service connections with Merlo UK we expressed our interest in becoming a sub or full dealer,” says“WeMark.had accumulated a lot of knowledge and experience with Merlo products over the years, and while it is a big step from running a service business to setting up a full sales, service and parts dealership, we were
Mark and Stewart Butcher formed Marst Agri in 2017, having each been involved with servicing Merlo products since the manufacturer’s earliest days in the UK 20 years previously. Concentrating at rst on servicing machines across their Su olk locality, they then added Merlo parts supply to their o ering, before in mid2021 being o ered the chance to take on the franchise as a full sales dealer for Merlo’s agricultural telescopic handlers, genuine attachments and retail
“For example, many of the transmissions on the alternatives are nowhere near as smooth as the Merlo’s hydrostatic, which is also a great asset when it’s necessary to hold the machine in place momentarily and use the throttle to provide maximum power to the hydraulics.
“We pride ourselves on service, rst and foremost. With Merlo agricultural telehandlers alone, we have su cient service and parts business to keep us busy, because while reliability is not an issue, there is a substantial park of Merlo handlers on farms in this area requiring service support to maintain them in the best possible working condition. We have around 150 machines on our books, and are making investments in our premises to enhance support for them, including a new mezzanine oor dedicated to parts

“The general design principles we really like include the relationship with the headstock and attachment. We had another maker’s 9m machine on demo, and found that the carriage was directly above the front axle at full height, eliminating any forward reach. With the Merlo design, the carriage is over a metre forward of the front wheels at full height.
“One of the downsides with large-scale dealerships is that they can lose the personal touch and struggle to retain service sta . With Marst Agri, working with a small team that understands all aspects of the machines across the sales, service and parts is one of the key reasons we committed to buying another Merlo. On the rare occasion a part we might need isn’t in stock, it will be available the next day from Merlo UK.
“The Turbofarmer 38.10 we recently purchased from Marst Agri is the second 10m Merlo with twin telescopic boom we have had, and the additional reach makes it ideal for pushing up grain – with a pusher attached we can get maximum reach without putting the machine’s front wheels in the heap.
“Every input and output it handles has gone up in price, so we’re pleased we’ve bought another Merlo telehandler that gives us the ability to get commodities heaped and stacked as swiftly as possible without issue, and we’ve no qualms about working with a new dealer given the team’s vast experience with the product.” FG

time comes to replace a machine and demonstrators become available.
Beyond its work shifting grain, seed and fertiliser, the Western partnership’s Merlo spends much of its time on timber processing for rewood.
Satisfaction with both back-up and product design are the twin reasons one farm business has purchased its third Merlo telehandler – this time from long-term Merlo engineers who founded one of the brand’s newest UK dealerships.
Gerald Western (left) pictured with Mark Butcher, was one of Marst Agri’s rst customers when it branched out into retailing, but has been running Merlo machines since 1996, beginning with a TF32.7. He is now running his third Merlo telehandler, a Turbofarmer 38.10.

“In order to help prevent resistance from developing further and impacting our ock performance, we’re working closer with our vet to develop a suitable worming programme that supports ock performance, while preserving the e cacy of the main groups of wormers within our regime,” he explains.Arise in wormer resistance can be signi cantly increased with repeated use of wormers throughout the year when they may not be needed. To avoid this, Mr Richards conducts regular faecal egg counts to determine the need for treatment.
As a closed ock, Mr Richards does not buy in any replacement lambs or ewes but does annually bring in replacement rams. All new rams are treated with Zolvix and then quarantined for 24-48 hours to ensure that they do not bring in any resistant worms. After being quarantined all new stock is turned out on dirty pastures to dilute the impact of any surviving worms.
Typically, Mr Richards chooses to administer Zolvix towards the end of August or early in September.
“These counts help us to check the level of worm burdens within the lambs and ensure we’re only worming when necessary.”
Quarantine treatment
Reducing the resistance risk Wider industry data shows that, in the last 10 years, the number of reports of resistance to the three older classes of wormer has been increasing. In one study, 94% of farms have been found to have resistance to white wormers, 68% to yellow wormers, 51% to ivermectin and 19% to moxidectin, with just 2% of farms with no detectable resistance.MrRichards explains that concern around these growing resistance levels drove him to carry out tests at

Why should we act to prevent worm resistance?
Anthelmintic resistance is one of the biggest challenges to the health and pro tability of sheep ocks and a ects the entire industry. As the impact of resistant worms remains invisible until levels reach the tipping point, it is important to include a newer group 4 active in worm control plans now. Acting before there is an obvious problem will help maintain the e cacy of wormers for the future, as well as allowing lambs to achieve their full growth potential.
Wernoog Farm, which subsequently unveiled that like many other farms, they too had a problem.
Increasing performancelamb
“It’s also worth noting, that when working out dose rates, we always ensure we weigh the heaviest lambs. This then guarantees we’re dosing correctly and none of the ock are being under dosed as this can also increase the build-up of resistance.”
“When ock health planning, e ective worm control is very important and after working closely with our vet, we identi ed a wormer resistance issue. This allowed us to act early to slow the rate at which resistance is building-up,” explains Mr Richards.
Part of the updated worming plan at Wernoog Farm includes the use of Zolvix at key points in the year. Mr Richards explains that this helps achieve complete worm control for all lambs, making sure no resistant worms are left behind that could hinder health and performance.
Mr Richards runs a closed ock of 1,000 pedigree Lleyns at Wernoog Farm, Powys and ensures ock health is always at the top of his agenda.“Assheep are our only form of income, we have very much all our eggs in one basket. Therefore, a high health status across our ock is crucial to ensure we’re maximising production levels and achieving good returns on investment.

years, but in the past 12 months have made a concerted e ort to use it as a form of resistance prevention, to help prolong the e cacy of the other wormer groups we use,” he explains.Zolvix is a group 4, broad spectrum anthelmintic, containing the active monepantel. SCOPS best practice guidance encourages the use of a group 4 at two key points; as a mid-late season break dose for lambs and as a quarantine treatment
“We’ve found that by following this routine and treating at the end of summer when our FECs often show a heavy worm burden, there has been a marked improvement in our lambs’ growth rates and performance into the late autumn and winter months,” explains Mr Richards.
“Strategically incorporating the use of a group 4 wormer into our worming plan has de nitely delivered a notable increase in lamb performance. In addition, we believe it’s helping to increase the e ective lifespan of the older group 1, 2 and 3 wormers which means that they can still be e ectively used at certain times,” concludes Mr Richards.

Challenge: Cattle sheds often have insu cient ventilation, meaning stale air containing pathogens stays within the building and infectious agents are readily spread between animals. The cumulative load of pathogens in the air increases as the air is rebreathed, resulting in a higher load than the immune system can cope with.
What steps should farmers be taking to minimise the risk to herds?
calves have su cient, good enough quality colostrum within six hours of birth. Generally, we are talking about 10–12% of their body weight within the rst 12 hours of life and as soon as possible. If the rst dose is delayed longer than six hours, the calf’s ability to absorb the antibodies and energy in colostrum deteriorates.Oldercows generally have better quality colostrum than heifers, although consideration should be given to the Johne’s disease status of older animals. Any that have tested positive or show clinical signs should be removed from the herd. Colostrum is easy to check for quality with a densimeter. Or your vet can take bloods from calves up to seven days old to ensure they have had su cient passive transfer of proteins from colostrum to the calf.
identifying the pathogens on your farm and vaccinating calves is a key component. There are a number of common pathogens we can vaccinate for, but not all will be present on your farm if you are a closed herd. If you are buying in stock, you may need to vaccinate for a larger range of pathogens.
• Entering a shed with new smells, environments etc.
What are some of the key risk factors for
Stress: Animals release the hormone cortisol in response to stressful stimuli, resulting in the ‘ ght or ight’ response which boosts energy levels and reduces unnecessary functions – including the body’s in ammatory response and immune system. This potentially reduces the animal’s ability to ght o infectious pathogens.
• Mixing groups – having to reinstate hierarchy
Q
At this time of year, prior to housing, there may not be many animals su ering with active pneumonia to sample pathogens. However, if you are a closed herd, it is likely that last year’s batch of calves (if not vaccinated) will act as a sentinel population for what is in your herd. These animals can be blood sampled to assess their antibodies and this data can be used to formulate a vaccination plan.
An alternative method of traditional weaning could be considered, such as separating cows and calves in adjacent elds prior to housing, or gradually weaning them after housing by separating them for increasing periods each day. While not a silver bullet,

respiratory disease, or pneumonia, in housed cattle.
All vaccination courses should be completed two weeks prior to housing or weaning so that the animal has had time to respond to the vaccine. Administering a vaccine on the same day as housing is likely to result in the vaccine failing to produce a robust immune response as the animal has too much cortisol in the body. FG
All of these stressors are su cient on their own to a ect the immune system, however the result of multiple occurring at once, is far greater.
Where possible we need to reduce the impact of stressors. In my experience, farms often perform more than one procedure at once for convenience – e.g. weaning, housing and vaccinating.

• Transport
• Weaning – removal from their dam
At the point of housing there are often multiple stresses on animals:
– a lovely airy shed may be excellent for bigger cattle, but too draughty for smaller cattle, causing them to divert energy to keep warm. The lowest temperature a new-born calf can tolerate without a stress response is 13.4ºC (Robertson, 2020), so consideration should be given to extra feeds, housing or calf coats if the environment is colder than expected.

But it’s likely that all roundworm species will be a problem, Lesley predicts, including possibly nematodirus, which is increasingly seen in autumn.
insidious losses often go unnoticed, so regular weighing also provides useful information. The cost of FECs is very small compared to that of production losses. This year, Lesley believes we are also facing mortality if parasites are not kept under control.Liver uke would typically not be as much of a concern in the winter following a hot dry summer, but some farms will still have it so testing is important. Last year saw many farms treat for liver uke at the wrong time – in September/ early October, when in fact uke caught up later in the winter.

Regular faecal egg counts and treating ‘as much as necessary but as little as possible’ to prevent further resistance, is the key to control, but it’s important to remember that the sample only re ects what that animal ate about three weeks ago. So this should be considered if lambs are not doing well and there has been rain and warm weather, even if faecal monitoring shows worm levels are not very high.
rain, those parasites are very adept at making up for lost time. So we could end up with a crescendo in autumn,” Lesley warns.
Although traditionally parasite problems have tended to slow down in winter, the changing climate means parasites can be a year-round problem, so regular testing is more important than ever. FG
Serology testing a sentinel group of this year’s lambs or calves on a monthly basis can tell you not only that you need to treat them, but when.Another risk is that although very dry summers limit uke, if it is present on the farm it tends to be very concentrated in any wet muddy area of the farm – which is also where animals will go to drink.

It’s also vital to retest 7-14 days after treatment, depending on the product used, to ensure it’s working. When wormers are not working,
Very hot, dry weather, such as that experienced this summer, generally puts a halt on parasites such as roundworms and liver uke – but they are very good at making up for lost time. Testing and treatment where necessary will be essential to avoid losses this autumn, explains independent sheep consultant Lesley Stubbings. In very dry conditions, most of the roundworms will have waited for moisture to complete their lifecycle. “The danger is that as we get more

There are two main causes:
There are two types a ecting cattle – chewing lice and sucking lice. It is important to know which type you are dealing with as this will determine the treatment choice. Chewing lice such as Bovicola bovis feed on skin debris and require treatment with a pour-on pyrethroid. Sucking lice such as Linognathus vituli feed on blood and require treatment with an injectable ivermectin. Most treatments are not e ective against louse eggs, so a follow-up treatment 2-3 weeks later is often necessary.

Cattle: Lice and mites are a common problem for cattle, particularly at winter housing due to the increased proximity to each other and thicker coats providing lice with a warm environment in which to thrive. If signi cant infestations are present, they can lead to intense irritation which can quickly become a welfare concern or lead to production loss.
equipment. The intense irritation caused results in signi cant production losses
In the UK, Chorioptes bovis is the most common mite a ecting cattle. Chorioptic mange is mainly found on the tail head, lower legs, scrotum or udder but they can only be identi ed microscopically following a skin scraping of the a ected area. Infestations with low numbers may not cause signi cant clinical signs so treatment may not be necessary.

10 bene ts of feeding a ration consisting of pre-processed straw:
• No over-processing, reduced mixing time
Tips for a straw-basedsuccessfuldiet:
• The additional bre helps to retain the food in the stomach for longer
• Straw cannot be fed on its own, it must be balanced with other forages (speak to a nutritionist for advice)
• A straw-based diet is very dry; make sure a plentiful supply of clean water is accessible.
To assist in meeting these standards and to review the general health and wellbeing of his herd, Gavin sought help from nutritionist Andy Hawken from Three Counties Feeds. Andy (pictured below) comments: “The challenge when taking over this farm as their nutritionist, was to improve the milk constituents and keep the yield high. One of the tools in the armoury to achieve this was the addition of pre-chopped, short straw to theButterfatsration.”
Straw impaction occurs when the cow’s ration does not contain enough protein and fermentable energy to feed the rumen microbes. These microbes break down the bre and without this process the straw becomes blocked in the stomach (omasum/abomasum). The symptoms of straw impaction include low appetite and very solidGavindung.says:
• Ensure the straw has been pre-processed (using a bale processor) – this will reduce any sorting
• The added straw helps to stabilise the pH levels in the stomach
help improve rumen function otherwise you could cause straw impaction which can lead to major health problems for the animal.”
www.farmersguide.co.uk October 202272 Livestock
As well as improving proteins and butterfats, since incorporating chopped straw into the diet they have also seen improvements in cow health, condition and fertility, with no left displaced abomasums from last winter, continuing into this year. Teagle is a family-owned company with over 75 years’ experience manufacturing agricultural machinery, and invests heavily in its research and development.
• Make sure straw is fresh, clean and palatable
• The diet is more open and palatable
“When you use pre-chopped straw as part of a balanced diet, you need to add extra protein to
Straw is a great form of e ective bre but it must be processed and su ciently supplemented with other forages or feeds to avoid straw impaction.“Wewant to reduce the length of the straw signi cantly from the traditional ‘muzzle width’, which produces multiple scratching e ects on to the papillae (which are like little ngers). More scratching stimulates more papillae, creating more surface area and increasing the nutrients back into the cow and this is all achieved by chopping the straw consistently in the correct way,” Andy explains.
• Maintained butterfats during spring/summer grazing
“At rst we used a contractor to chop our straw but this became a costly and time-consuming process. We contacted Teagle and they recommended the Tomahawk 8555 Dual Chop with a removable screen which we can use for both feeding and bedding.”
• If you feed silage, adding straw will help to reduce the potassium levels, which can be bene cial during calving
Gavin runs a 330-cow dairy herd at Rosemorran Farm, producing an average of 9,500 litres. Milk is produced under contract for Cathedral Citybranded cheese, which demands the constituents and quality of the milk are consistently high.
• Feeding su cient protein to pregnant cows in the last month before calving also makes an important contribution to a successful calving and good colostrum quality
• Feeding pre-chopped straw pre- and postcalving will help to reduce cases of displaced abomasum by increasing food consumption and keeping the abomasum full. FG
typically crash when out to grass but by adding consistent pre-chopped straw to the ration, Andy says they have seen butterfats at over 4% in the summer and up to 4.3% in the winter. Proteins also remained stable at 3.3% in the summer and 3.6% in the winter.
Cornish dairy farmer Gavin Rodda and nutritionist Andy Hawken explain how they improved milk constituents to keep yield high – with one of the tools in the armoury being to add pre-chopped short straw to the ration.
• Less or no sorting occurs, resulting in a complete diet being fed
The unique scissor action, cutting mechanism of the Teagle Dual Chop cuts the straw consistently short and is the ideal material for feeding, creating e ective rumen stimulation, Teagle says. Gavin adds: “The straw is chopped short with clean cut ends. Chopping as needed keeps the straw fresh, which the cows nd more palatable, increasing intake and reducing waste for the dung pile!”

Although ewes are past peak lactation, they need to be preparing for tupping and can’t a ord to lose any body condition. Feeding a free-access supplement, such as Rumevite at this time will help support this preparation as well as supplying key minerals, vitamins and trace elements.
For maintenance a ewe needs 1kg grass on a DM basis during summer time – ongoing dry weather means they struggle to get this and consequently face a loss of body condition which can have a negative impact on conception as we head into tupping time.
Alternatively, the consequences of selling undernished animals may reduce income by around £5 and £18 per lamb and steer sold respectively.
“Supplementing dwindling grazing sooner rather than later will help keep growth and performance on track with younger animals having improved e ciency of growth and so improved return on investment of feed o ered,” concludes Dr Bond. “Reaching markets at closer to peak values adds further value to the nished stock too so delaying acting could end up costing you more than it saves.” FG

becoming depleted with animals who are not supplemented potentially su ering weight loss and a reduction in health and performance,” explains Dr NumerousBond.trials conducted over the years with all classes of ruminant livestock have shown supplementation of sparse grazing will typically increase cattle growth rates and achieve extra margin per head.
This summer’s prolonged dry weather caused real issues for many cattle and sheep producers across the UK as grazing became scarcer at a time when grass growth and subsequent livestock performance should have been at its best, says Dr Alison Bond, ruminant nutritionist for Rumenco.
“Across much of the country, pastures are
“Rumevite feed blocks provide energy and protein required for growth and maintenance to achieve DLWG targets, whilst also providing key minerals, vitamins and trace elements. The little and often feeding provides a ow of nutrients through the rumen, helping to support a healthy rumen bug population. This supports forage digestibility, ensuring stock make the most of the grass or forage that they do have. Rumevite All Season in particular is a high energy and protein feed and mineral block for cattle and sheep with access to lower quality grazing to support optimal health and performance,” explains Dr Bond.

Oestrous expression in dairy cows can be a ected at a THI of 57. This number can be reached at just 14ºC and 55% humidity.

Agro Hanse knows that most automatic systems rely on the monitoring of ambient relative humidity and temperature uctuations, and not moisture, which leaves time for problems to build up in the store –making them more di cult to reverse. Instead, the company says systems should measure the temperature, the aw value and the intake air humidity of the fan, because temperature and aw value can be converted into an increase in grain moisture. Intake of ambient air with high relative humidity % must be prevented in order to avoid an increase in awInvalue.answer to this, the Schmelzer
What is water activity?
Water activity (aw) is a measure of the available water in or around a material, e.g. a grain of wheat. The aw value is temperature-dependent and therefore it’s important to remember that an increase in temperature also increases the mobility of water. So how does it di er from the

If the value falls below the measured value, those values are recorded every 15 minutes and sent to the server. It is reassuring to remember that every single monitoring point is in constant contact with the individual fan controls, which leaves no margin for error. The system can highlight a problem, whether near the surface or deep inside the store.

If the measured value is exceeded, ventilation continues again.
Avoiding an increase in water activity
Silo AW Control System, which includes sensor measuring rods, venting systems and fans, will only operate fans within pre-set parameters which include ambient conditions but, just as important, moisture and temperature conditions deep inside the grain.
When it comes to a good grain store control system, Agro Hanse says customers should demand the following when seeking a new one:
standard moisture content that we usually refer to? It is not always widely known, that two identical grains can have the same overall moisture content, but can still have very di erent aw values. Virtually no damaging microorganisms will grow below an aw of 0.6, and typically the limit to aim for is 0.65. To put these values into perspective, the aw value of water is 1.0 while a completely anhydrous (dry) material is given a value of 0.
Which active ingredient to use is an important consideration as part of a planned approach to minimise and prevent both primary and secondary poisoning. Second Generation Anticoagulant Rodenticides (SGARs) have been termed ‘bioaccumulative’, simply meaning there can be a build-up of these rodenticides within the body, which occurs with repetitive feeding on the rodent bait or poisoned rodents. The non-anticoagulant active ingredient, cholecalciferol, which is used in Selontra, is neither bioaccumulative nor persistent in the environment.
and encourage best practice across UK farms, BASF has launched a new digital portal o ering farmers the chance to gain CPD points through an interactive rodent control training programme.
The soft block bait causes death from hypercalcaemia; the accumulation of too much calcium in the blood. This results in rodents
When signs of rodents are spotted, it’s important farmers act fast to reduce the risks posed by these common pests. Having rats and mice active on farms comes with a host of issues, including:
A recent national rodent control survey showed that 92% of farmers have used rodenticides on their farm in the last year, but with so many rodenticide baits on the market, how do you choose which bait is best?From anticoagulants to non-anticoagulants, and hard blocks, soft blocks, pellets, paste and grain available, is can be di cult to decide which is the most e ective solution.
stopping feeding, on both the bait and any available food on the farm, 24 hours after consuming a lethal dose – quickly putting a stop to disease, contamination and damage to the site.
“Thanks to these fast-acting results, Selontra o ers the added bene t of reducing the time the bait is in the environment as it is applied on site for shorter periods of time – typically no more than seven days. This also means that farmers’ valuable time can be spent focusing on their many other dailyTotasks.”help raise awareness of rodenticide resistance
The need for speed
One of the most important factors to consider, though, is the speed of control.
• Spread of infestation – In the right conditions, rats and mice can reproduce every three weeks, and from one breeding pair it is possible for over 1,500 o spring to occur within six months.
Reducing the risk to non-targets
Find out more about Selontra and gain CPD points at rodent-coursewww.basf-ruralhygiene.com/ FG
• Damage – Rats and mice need to gnaw, and often choose to do so on electrical cables which can result in damage to expensive equipment and machinery, and in some cases even cause res to breakout
Anticoagulant rodenticides usually take 21–28 days to control an infestation, which means that these risks of damage, loss and contamination continue to occur around a site for some weeks after the initial treatment. BASF has introduced a new non-anticoagulant rodenticide, Selontra, to combat this, using the active ingredient cholecalciferol to stop rodents in their tracks.
BASF pest control solutions specialist, Helen Hall, commented: “Not only does Selontra have a stop feed e ect, causing rodents to cease feeding once a lethal amount of bait has been eaten, it is also e ective on rats and mice with rodenticide resistance, non-bioaccumulative and readily metabolised by rodents – balancing performance and environmental impact.
It also goes without saying that all non-target species should be prevented from accessing the rodenticide bait, either by using a securable bait in a lockable bait box or by using the covered and protected approach, that is attaching bait to an object and covering with a sturdy item such as palletts, timber or tyres. Frequent searching for and disposing of dead rodents throughout the rodenticide treatment helps to prevent secondary poisoning, and ensuring all bait is removed following the treatment plan is essential.
• Disease – Rats carry up to 45 diseases, posing a serious risk to the biosecurity of the whole food chain. Salmonella is an ever present (and possibly increasing) risk within pigs and poultry and rodents are a contributing factor to the spread of this disease
as few as seven days, just by choosing the right rodenticide, according to pest control manufacturer BASF.
• Loss of animal feed and grain – It is estimated that one rat can eat and contaminate 100kg of stored grain and feed annually, so 200 rats will destroy a massive 20t per year
With the use of all pesticides, reading and following the product label is a strict requirement. With rodenticides, however, it is also essential to complete an Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA). Think Wildlife’s Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use (CRRU) reported that routine monitoring from 2016–2021 found rodenticide traces present in nearly 90% of barn owls, demonstrating that more needs to be done to reduce the risk to all non-targets.
www.farmersguide.co.uk October 202284
If all non-chemical preventative methods have failed, an ERA should be completed before applying rodenticides. This ERA should focus primarily on non-target species, those being animals which may consume any baits applied (known as primary poisoning) that are not rats and mice, and those which may consume poisoned rodents through predation or scavenging (known as secondary poisoning).

well-lit and dry for valuable livestock. The more you think about it, the more applications you can see on the farm that require a safe, tough shelter system with no groundworks, no disruption, and hardly ever a requirement for planning permission.Theinitial concept was created decades ago in the searing heat of rural outback Australia where farmers work on the slimmest of margins and are at constant risk of drought or ooding. One freak storm or prolonged dry spell could mean ruin, so they had to come up with creative ways to protect themselves and their assets from the elements.
Since the start of time, success or failure in agriculture has been dictated to a large extent by weather conditions. When you add price uctuations in seed, fertiliser and feed, farming becomes a gamble where the bigger the bet, the bigger the win – or loss. UK company Zappshelter explains how its concept is bene tting British farmers.
It’s not possible to control the weather or market prices. However, being able to cushion the e ects these external factors have can greatly improve the odds for farmers and turn a bad year into a good one.
Roll forward to 2016, and Zappshelter was born in the UK. Although loosely based on the Australian concept, the British design took into consideration the sudden and unpredictable changes in our climate conditions and devastating elements such as snow and winds.

Post-harvest and when temperatures are dropping, rodents move indoors in search of food, warmth and shelter. Controlling rodents is vital to prevent disease transmission, food loss and contamination and structural damage, and is essential to meet
Baiting: Place bait in tamperresistant bait stations, available from 1env Solutions, to provide protection against the weather and help to prevent non-target species eating the bait. Place stations beside wellde ned runs, in and around burrows, holes and other sheltered places. Rats are neophobic (fear of new objects) and may avoid new objects in their environment for three or more days.
Food loss and contamination:
• Remove vegetation from the outside of buildings and maintain an uncluttered, vegetation free, perimeter of at least 1m around buildings. Trim any branches overhanging buildings
Prevention: Rodents may be discouraged and infestations prevented by improving hygiene and proo ng buildings:
• Repair leaking pipes. Rats must

• Proof all holes and possible points of entry and make sure there are no openings greater than 6mm around doors and windows
leptospirosis, murine typhus and hantavirus; and spread Salmonella bacteria, viruses and parasitic worms. Rodents could also help spread avian in uenza and other diseases by going in and out of poultry houses.
A rat will eat approximately 10% of its body weight in feed each day, equating to roughly 10kg of feed
Rodents can transmit

per rat per year. Based on one pair of rats producing up to 200 o spring per year, this can result in big losses. They can spoil large amounts of food by contaminating it with droppings, hairs and urine or though persistent gnawing.
Rodents require several feeds over several days to build up a lethal dose of the poison. Therefore, it is essential to regularly check and top up bait points, especially during the rst two weeks. It may take 4–10 days for a rodent to die after eating the bait so it may be two weeks before improvements are seen. FG
Non-toxic control measures: On sites where an Environmental Risk Assessment has highlighted a risk to protected or non-target species, or a risk of secondary poisoning, it may be appropriate to use a non-toxic control method such as traps. 1env Solutions has an extensive range of traps and stations within which they can be placed.

hard work for you, Allmet reckons – IDC is a software-based control system which continuously monitors incoming moisture content and physically controls the speed of the drier to ensure the precise average moisture content of the grain is achieved, irrespective of outside weatherRemoteconditions. dataincludes the number of discharges per hour, chosen moisture content, drying air temperature, and a moisture tolerance – the latter is a reaction to uctuations with incoming moisture content, and is a reference to the intelligent control. This lets the IDC counter any e ect of over-drying grain caused by sudden moisture content uctuations and is achieved by automatically releasing grain with a slightly higher moisture content, to average out in-store variations.
Drying grain precisely is a complex process, but doing it correctly achieves the best possible grain quality for the best price. Relying on manual drying can risk either not attaining the desired moisture content or over-drying the grain which is a costly exercise – by over drying to 13% instead of 14%, you can typically add up to 20% to your energy bill.

serious drought issues, delivered some respite from the doom and gloom of the current economic outlook. Many farmers nished harvest in record time, with reasonable yields and avoided what, in a wetter harvest, could have been hefty energy costs for drying grain.
McArthur Agriculture technician, Andrew Hewitt, commented: “This year will see the use of electronics to further manage the grain drying process to further minimise energy usage. Collection of fuel and power data delivers a clear picture of running costs and, like your car, you will soon be able to optimise the grain drier to deliver greater economy or more performance.”
Although, the heatwave did see many farmers using their driers to cool“Butgrain!who knows what weather we can expect for harvest 2023? It is unlikely we will see such an easy run, and the grain drier will be seeing much more work.

Now that ‘all is safely gathered in’, it is time to assess how successful this harvest was and what equipment needs to be replaced, or upgraded, to ensure harvest 2023 goes smoothly and pro tably, comments John.
“A grain drier will undoubtedly cost more to run over its service life than the initial capital investment and, it has never been so important that the decision as to which drier you select is based on return on that investment, not just the purchase price. Calculating that return is heavily in uenced by operating costs over the equipment’s service life and the residual value.
“Operating costs include maintenance, labour and, crucially, spiralling fuel and power costs. An
“Mecmar driers have for a long time o ered unique energy saving and performance enhancing features including their full-length stainlesssteel furnace, plenum air distribution system and high open space perforated screens, all designed to deliver more air ow with less energy,” further explained John.

“Running cooling fans 24 hours a day is a very ine cient way to cool grain,” explains managing director Joel Capper. “Not only will it use a lot of energy, but it will also have very little e ect when the ambient air temperature is not su cient to e ectively cool. It could even increase the grain temperature.”MartinLishman automatic fan controllers constantly monitor the crop temperature and turn cooling fans on and o to make the best use of ambient air conditions, the company says. This ensures fast cooling but can also save at least 40% of energy costs which, at a time when energy prices are at an all-time high, will have a noticeable e ect on the bottom line. Automatic control means reduced trips to the store to manually operate fans, or simply avoiding forgetting to do so.

“Conditions vary year to year, but the yields we achieved last harvest following favourable growing conditions were exceptional,” he said.
Farmers Guide visited the farm in early September, during a period of unsettled weather which included torrential rain showers following months of drought. The enterprise is owned and farmed by Martin Lole, who is also managing director of drill manufacturer Mzuri. The land is mainly heavy Evesham clay, and a range of soils also includes some Cotswold Brash, so the farm’s drill must cope with challenging conditions in both wet and dry seasons.Thelatest iPass drill was displayed for the rst time last year, following three years of development. A limited number were available for customer purchase earlier this year and, with positive feedback from users, they are now in full production.
The seeding system consists of a at or scalloped leading disc with an adjustable working angle, followed by a fertiliser band placement coulter, then a seeding coulter on a vertical tine followed by a V-pro le press wheel.
Models from 4–8m are available, all with a 5,000-litre split hopper, and coulter spacing at 250 or 333mm. All versions are trailed, and although a standard drawbar is an option, most customers select the recommended semi-mounted, goose-neck connection which provides controlled weight transfer between the tractor and drill wheels and allows 90-degree articulation on headlands.“Wehadexceptionally high straw volumes this year, but our own drill with 250mm coulter spacing coped well, although for farms which chop all their straw we would probably recommend the wider 333mm spacing to ensure even better trash ow,” Martin explained. “There seems to be little di erence in eventual yields whichever seed row spacing is used.”
The iPass o ers high output, low disturbance seeding direct into stubbles and cover crops, as well as into pre-cultivated ground. Priorities during development included minimal soil disturbance even at high speeds, a low power requirement, and a simple design which ensures successful establishment in a wide range of conditions.
October 2022 www.farmersguide.co.uk 111 Direct Drilling
Width and crop spacing options
The adjustable leading disc is a major contributor to the drill’s exibility. A at disc creates a slot and causes minimal disturbance, but Martin said that if conditions are damp then hairpinning is always a risk. He prefers to use shallow scalloped discs, which are run straight if straw conditions are light, but in higher trash volumes he selects a slight angle to the direction of travel to clear a narrow path in front of the coulters.
The fertiliser coulter is directly behind the disc, and nutrients are

Farmers Guide saw the iPass drill establishing oilseed rape into barley stubble on the Worcestershire farm.
High work rates, low power
The seed coulter tine gently consolidates loose soil above the fertiliser, and seeds strike a spreadplate and drop into a V-shaped seed channel. The press wheel’s V-pro le precisely matches the seed channel shape and covers the seeds with a soil layer while also providing consolidation for optimal seed to soil contact.“It’sreally a mini strip-till drill,” Martin continued. “The fertiliser coulter creates a very narrow cultivated strip and ideal conditions for the roots to access moisture and nutrients. However, most of the land remains undisturbed which saves fuel and reduces opportunities for problem weed growth, and far less fertiliser is needed than for conventional full-width tillage systems.”
The iPass drill is designed for direct seeding but works equally well on pre-cultivated ground. The semi-mounted design and front wheels allow draft control to be used to provide weight transfer, ensuring consistent results even on undulating ground. over…
Because Martin does much of the Mzuri drill development on his own farm, a variety of machines are always used; but last year, the iPass completed 80% of the drilling, and crops included wheat, oilseed rape, barley, oats, winter and spring beans, cover crop mixes, and sun ower and maize grown for conservation.
Low-disturbance, direct drill brings flexibility to Worcestershire farm
A direct drill which o ers opportunities to seed direct into stubbles and cover crops, but which works just as well on pre-cultivated land is reducing fertiliser requirements while maintaining yields on a heavy-land farm. David Williams saw it in action.
Adjustable leading disc
Proven performance
continued
“Barley was established in a single pass by the iPass along with most of the Nitrogen, and we achieved an 8t average yield with plenty of straw. The crop established well, and then the roots just followed the moisture down.”
Twelve LED work lights are standard, and the ashing transport beacon is linked to the hopper level sensors and functions as an alert to those delivering seed to the eld when the hopper contents are low.
The hopper lids have rubber seals and are fastened by over-centre latches. The safety bar swings into position.
There are four main working elements:
Accurate seed and fertiliser placement
The front wheel assembly pivots in the direction of turns and avoids scrubbing, reducing fuel use, wear and tear and prevents bulldozing soil on the headlands.Thegoose-neck drawbar allows turns at 90 degrees for bout-to-bout working.
Popular solution
“Accurate drilling depth is critical,” stressed Martin. “For e ective crop management we need the plants to emerge and grow evenly, and chemical regulations are very speci c. Pre-emergence treatment instructions state that seed must be at a speci c depth; they don’t state a range of depths from the surface down.”
• The fertiliser tine coulter creates a narrow tilled strip and places fertiliser beneath a layer of soil.
• The seeding coulter creates a V-slot into which the seed is placed, above and away from the fertiliser but within easy reach of the nutrients for when they are needed.
The seeding coulter is parallelogram mounted, ensuring that the seed depth remains constant, regardless of the surface pro le and conditions. Ball joints are used for mounting, allowing the seed coulter to accurately track the leading coulter, and ensuring that seed is always placed above the fertiliser.
Practical design
tractor’s lower link arms, the leading wheels lift clear of the ground for transport and control cultivation depth in the eld. With light draft control selected, the hydraulics respond when extra pulling power is needed – transferring a proportion of the drill’s weight to the tractor’s rear wheels to optimise traction. Using draft control also provides compensation on undulating land. “Standard drawbars can’t compensate for changing conditions, but as soon as the iPass drill travels up hill, or through a dip, this adjusts to maintain a constant result,” explained
Auto-reset leading tines are standard, and each seeding assembly is held in position by a hydraulic ram. Working pressures up to 200 bar can be set, giving up to 300kg of downward force on the depth wheels and preventing air pockets, but Martin said that pressures of 200kg are usually adequate and on sticky Cotswold Brash he reduces the force, allowing the legs to vibrate and preventing soil and trash accumulation.
The rear press wheel has the same V-pro le as the seed channel, ensuring even
High work rates
Mzuri has developed its own metering system. The iPass drill has four metering units, controlled through an RDS terminal using speed measurement provided by an on-board GPS signal receiver. The standard hopper con guration is a 60/40 split, with a removable ba e. Two metering units are at the base of each hopper section: each supplying half the working width and allowing half-width section control. Seeds are delivered directly into tubes below the metering units, and no venturi is needed due to the pressurised hopper. High ow rates are possible with any size seeds from cover crop mixes to grass seed or beans. A range of metering rollers ensures compatibility with any seed type and size, and calibration is quick and convenient. Blockage sensors are standard.
The rear rake is easily removed, and alternative rear-mounted implements are available. The rake used by Martin has hockey stick tines, which provide shallow soil movement across the working width but have plenty of space for trash to Wearingow. sections of the fertiliser
and seed coulters are easily changed, and the tungsten points are hockey stick shaped and pivot into position and are held in place by a roll pin.

is mounted on a pair of ball joints, which allow movement in three directions. This means that the seeding coulter always follows the same path as the leading disc and fertiliser tine so that the seed channel is directly above the fertiliser. It also reduces the power and fuel requirement.Thelarge 850/50R30.5 rear transport wheels operate at low pressure allowing them to ex and remain clean even in sticky, wet soils. Their width means that they each travel on top of three raised strips of uncultivated soil, which avoids disturbing the planted seeds.
The self-steering leading disc, and seeding tine and press wheel assembly are a unique feature. The leading disc is on a trailing pivot so that it naturally follows the direction of travel during turns. The fertiliser coulter is xed in position, and the parallelogram frame holding the seed coulter and press wheel
Its performance is so consistent that once it is set up for a certain crop, then there has been no need to alter the depth settings when demonstrating at di erent farms and in a range of conditions. FG

“More farmers are looking at one-pass drilling, to reduce soil disturbance and fuel use,” con rmed Martin. “The iPass works well in a wide range of conditions, and always achieves accurate seeding depth.
• A front at or scalloped leading disc creates an opening and can operate at an angle to clear straw and trash in front of the fertiliser and seeding coulters.
Lole says there is growing interest from UK farmers in one-pass crop establishment, but systems have to o er exibility to work successfully in a wide range of conditions.
CultivatingMartin.depth adjustment is by adding or removing spacers on hydraulic rams which control the large rear transport wheels, and by similar spacers on the drawbar wheels. Seed depth control is by the press wheel immediately behind the seeding coulter and adjusted by a simple pin. The leading disc, fertiliser tine, seeding coulter and press wheel are all on one assembly, and the seed coulter and press wheel are connected by a parallelogram linkage and move together. This ensures constant seed placement even if the cultivation depth or working angle varies.
Mzuriconsolidation.managingdirector
The iPass is designed for high work rates, and Martin said that best results are achieved at travel speeds up to 16kph. To ensure accurate seed rates the hopper is pressurised. A hydraulic-driven, twin-fan air supply is mounted at the rear and provides air ow to deliver seed and fertiliser to the coulters while also pressurising the tank. The tank lids have durable rubber seals and are held closed by simple over-centre bars.

“For the rst time during my 35 years in farming, variable costs have overtaken xed costs. Crop inputs costs have tripled and crop prices are volatile. Farmers are at continual risk of growing a crop using very high levels of working capital, but may nd a collapse in the wheat price nine months later,” Simon continues.“Alow-risk strategy is needed and a whole new approach based ultimately on versatility, and the ability to adapt to drilling midseason with as many options as possible open to the farmer at all times.

The ‘closer’ shuts the seed slot just at seed depth, leaving the deep air and rooting slot open for a further 4in beneath the seed. This delivers air and space to the roots and microbes, which gives “exceptional levels of tillering”, Triton reckons. The drill also has a ‘rock-hopper’ feature allowing the heavily stoned soils to be drilled without stoppages.

Meanwhile, the D version has a single disc with large rubber depth wheel, followed by two closing wheels; and the C version has a 15mm wide coulter followed by two rubber closing wheels.
Finally, the DD version is a totally unique design that has not been seen before on disc direct drills, Samagri says. Instead of traditional route of having row cleaners in front of the single disc, Virkar has added a turbo disc that runs directly in front of the single seeding disc, ensuring the turbo disc and seeding disc remain free of substantial crop residue – even in the highest volumes of crop residue.
New available
versions of direct drill now
The Virkar direct drill, imported by Samagri Ltd, is now available in four versions –the DC (disc and coulter), D (disc), C (coulter) and DD (double disc).
The disc, with its 7-degree running angle, cleans as much of the seeding channel as possible to ensure the seed has great seed to soil contact leading to even germination and crop establishment. With the extra turbo disc, you can alter the pressure this disc operates at and can also lift the disc up out of the way when not required. FG

The SM coulters feature narrow tungsten carbide tips which run at an attacking angle to pull the tip in to work. Each coulter creates a tilth as it pulls through the soil, creating ideal conditions for germination and strong root development. Straw and other residues are moved away from the row, ensuring seeds are placed in clear, moist soil. The undisturbed soil between the rows minimises the risk of weeds germinating and leaves a rm surface for following operations.Forthose requiring more output, KRM has an extensive range of mounted folding tine drills with working widths up to 7m. Options include Isobus, variable rate and section control. KRM can also cater for those wishing to follow the drill with a mechanical hoe and o er machines with a 25cm row spacing. FG

each tyre gives space for sprung levelling boards, which break any clods left on the top of the seedbed and levels the soil, pushing it into the track of the tyres.

At the heart of this drill is AgriLinc’s unique tungsten seed coulters, which have been the same ever since 1974. This 3m 24 row model has 125mm row spacings between the coulters which provides the crop with considerably higher competitiveness against weeds. This is especially important as more herbicide-resistant weeds are on the increase. Research shows that 125mm row spacing results in 20% less weeds than 150mm. The narrow rows help close the canopy faster and thus as the crop grows, moisture evaporation from the soil is reduced at a time when it is crucial that the seed gets access to the moisture in the Behindsoil. all this is the new rubber tyre packer, which is used to control the drilling depth of the seed coulters, while at the same time applying reconsolidation.

water courses, geology or B-Lines, for example – and therefore what funding they might be eligible for. The app also has a digital hook up with the Rural Payments Agency.
As British farmers face the loss of BPS payments, soaring input costs and an array of new government schemes to get to grips with, it’s never been more important to get the most out of your land. Many are wrestling with the question of whether to continue farming, and Surrey farmer Tim faced just such a dilemma when his grandfather retired and he was advised to sell the farm.
One feature of the app that has proved particularly popular is the ability to collaborate – when designing a plan users can add the email address of their ecologist or land agent, for example, click ‘add viewer’ and they will be able to view the plans.
“I think what everyone’s going to be concerned with going forward – regardless of whether they are working to improve the environment or increase food production – is the balance sheet. If you have a platform to draw up future plans, and compare how much each scenario is worth, with all the options and opportunities at your disposal, you can make informed decisions.”
Tim is keen to stress that anything users create on the platform is 100% owned by the user and they have full access and control of where it’s used – Land App does not have access to the data and nor do your neighbours. It’s a totally secure process. Tim adds: “Data is not something to be scared of; it’s to be used and leveraged to people’s bene t.”

The app now has nearly 13,000 users and covers 65% of England’s farmland. Its network comprises farmers, farm advisors, land agents, estate managers, ecologists, foresters, surveyors and landscape recovery projects. The team is proud to be 100% sponsored and funded by British landowners, so everyone who has a stake in the platform is invested in the success of British farming. And, with Tim’s farming background, keeping Land App free for farmers is important.
The app has a wide range of project templates, for example for Countryside Stewardship schemes, so users can start to mock up and design a plan.
In addition, with lots of farms and estates in the process of bringing together all the new legislation from government, funding applications and private sector funding, the app makes it easy to assess your options.
maps with clients, colleagues and team members. And while many traditional mapping programmes are highly technical, Land App is very intuitive – and the rst of its kind when it comes to taking ownership of your land digitally, Tim adds. Plus, it’s possible to make as many maps as you like with a free account.Oneuser, organic farmer Martin Steer, who is also a rural consultant at Steer Ethelston Rural Limited, said: “Hardly a day passes without Land App being put to good use. Mapping forestry on Jura, CS plan designs, ‘Slow the Flow’ projects, farm water supplies, section 31 plans to local authorities and looking at the sequestration of carbon in peatlands are all simpli ed using the app. Within days of submitting emails with pdf of RLE1 plans and forms, we received mapping changes messages from the RPA.

Added value
An additional feature is that when invoices are sent, pdf job records can be automatically attached containing eld maps and additional task details – providing full traceability between the contractor and farmer.
Ag-drive is available on a monthly subscription. For the rst or admin account user, the cost is £10 per month, and the cost per additional user is £5 per month. “The cost is right for an agricultural contracting business,” continued Will. “It’s easily a ordable, and the additional user subscriptions can be activated and deactivated as required – making it ideal for seasonal workers. Just one job invoiced which might otherwise be missed will easily pay the app subscription for the year.”
Replacing paper records with an app improves operating e iciency
Ag-drive creates digital time sheets for each operator, ensuring that starting, nishing and break times are accurately recorded.
“It’s so exible that we even have electricians using it to keep track of their jobs and billing,” added Will. “Because work locations are recorded by the smartphone’s GPS tracking function, tasks can be monitored in real time, or locations can be checked afterwards.”
The app is compatible with Apple and Android smartphones and tablets, and desktops. Data is stored in the ‘cloud’, so even if smartphones are lost or damaged, the data remains secure.

“Running our business using paper records completed by machine operators every fortnight, then delivered to us or our book-keeper, and then organised and entered into a paper diary before the jobs could be invoiced through our computer accounts system wasted time and risked bills being sent out late or missed altogether,” explained Ag-drive founder Will Dunn.
For this project, the Cayena tine seeder and Cirrus cultivator drill were used for crop establishment and then crop care was carried out using a ZA-TS 3200 Pro s Tronic spreader and Pantera 4504 self-propelled sprayer.
He explained that he does not see the technology as a way of using less or more inputs, but optimising the best use of what they have, according to the data shown on the satellite images.
Luke added that using a new piece of hardware called Xarvio Connect – which physically connects to the terminal within the machinery – growers can wirelessly ping data backwards and forwards from the Field Manager system to the terminal.
Combining satellite technology with precision machinery has enabled cereal grower Pat Thornton to reap the rewards of better crop uniformity and yield, by optimising inputs usage and tracking disease, on his farm in Doncaster.
He explained that he used the

Amazone Ltd managing director, Simon Brown, explained that technology is going to prove ‘vital to keeping farming viable’. He said: “We can see obvious added value for farmers when you look at potential overlap savings: chemical savings; reduction in fertiliser usage; making the best use of seed by targeting zones, and in the next year or two, we will get more and more smaller zones, that's how we will probably keep some active ingredients going, because we're obviously only

“I've been in this game long enough to know that we've been able to create many pretty maps for many years, but now a grower my size can actually utilise them,” he said. “It is not information overload, and it comes back to the pro tability and e ciency of this farm and it is making an impact. We can all walk and look at our farms and assess them to an extent, but having a tool like this gives you the ability to back up your decisionmaking process.” FG
putting them where they need to be. Everything that we do is e ectively working towards these smaller zones, with more control of what's going on.”
“We have also been able to use the latest in-season satellite images to target nitrogen rates to even out elds in the early spring. We were able to create application maps for our spreader, so thinner areas received a higher rate of 60kg/ha of nitrogen and thicker areas were reduced to 40kg/ha.”
Machinery partner
Pat runs Low Melwood Farm, in Owston Ferry, in partnership with his father. The 150ha operation grows oilseed rape, winter wheat, spring barley and spring beans. Over the past season, he has been using digital platform Xarvio Field Manager, as part of a whole eld scale trial with BASF, to identify historical productivity trends dating back up-to 15 years and in-season eld variation on his farm, which has allowed him to alter and target his inputs more precisely.Xarvio Field Manager was launched in 2020 as a tool for growers and agronomists to improve collection and utilisation of data through satellite imagery, to help inform decisions throughout the season.Growers can use the tool to access historical biomass maps, called PowerZone maps, which identify high and low performing eld-zones, based on satellite data. In the summer of 2021, using the Power Zone maps, Pat found that there was a fair amount of variation between his crops and was able to manipulate his seeding rates to improve uniformity in the eld.
Targeted input approach
By altering seeding rates in August 2021, Pat was able to see improved biomass consistency across his eld by May the following year. He was then able to apply this targeted input approach to his fungicide programme.Xarvioimplementation lead, Luke Pollard explained: “We discussed how to target Revystar XE for Pat’s T2 application, using the latest satellite images, to produce an application map for the sprayer. We maintained the average use at 1.25 litres per hectare, but we varied from 1.0 litre in the thinner areas up to 1.5 litres/ha where there was more biomass and more green leaf area”

digital platform to identify historically less productive areas and then apply more seed in those targeted areas.“It is not low-hanging fruit for a farm of our size to embrace this technology, it does come at a price – but when you have power zones, that have 15 years of data you can access, there is a value to that and I was really surprised how much data was on there,” he said.

Here, iQblue connect transmits implement data on the plough’s GPS position and current working width to the TIM to enable the hydraulic control unit on the tractor to automatically control the cylinder for the plough’s working width. This ensures that the plough always produces a precise and straight furrow. At the same time, it also allows operators to plough towards a target furrow, vastly increasing the e ciency when ploughing wedge-shaped elds.

Tank capacities on mounted sprayers have increased to just over 2,000 litres to give 50 acres or so a ll, but the biggest gain comes from adding a FT 1502 front tank. Traditionally, growers have been put o front tanks due to the time taken to batch mix tank lls and transfer them forwards and then in the eld have to manually transfer liquid from front to back, making sure there is adequate weight on the front
done as though it is all just one big 3,500 litre rear tank, the company says. Liquid is automatically transferred forwards on lling and the front and back tanks swap their contents over every 5–6 minutes, when lling, when in transport and when spraying. Using the digital tank contents gauges, the volume in each tank is constantly monitored and so, once in the eld, and the rear tank is starting to empty, then at 30% of the rear tank volume, the contents of the front tank start to be transferred backwards, keeping that rear tank volume at 30%. When the front tank is empty, the remainder of the rear tank is sprayed out.
To get the most out of every available spraying day, growers are looking to maximise sprayer capacity but don’t necessarily want a trailed option; preferring to stay with the exibility and manoeuvrability of a mounted sprayer.

The Aeon is manufactured with rear-wheel steering, enabling the operator to make sharper turns on the headland, all the while not compromising on overall sprayer
and boom stability. It also enables the driver to steer with booms folded to help increase e ciency especially within the smaller elds.
New, more sophisticated sprayer series
The Aeon Centura Line is equipped as standard with PrimeFlow – a pressure-fed boom uid system that guarantees rapid priming and prevents sedimentation and clogging. When spraying starts, liquid has already been distributed across the entire boom, circulating at the requested pressure through the spray lines. When spraying stops, the liquid will continue to circulate at a standby pressure. Even when spraying at low pressure, the spray lines are completely drained, leaving only a small residual volume, which means less liquid is required for cleaning. FG

Ever since its introduction, the Agrifac Condor has been renowned for its stability, precision and innovation, the company reckons. Agrifac claims that its patented StabiloPlus chassis provides unparalleled stability in comparison to any other sprayer in the world, with GreenFlowPlus ensuring continuous pressure using the specially designed pump so that there is no di erence in spray pressure at any point during operation, as well as no residual liquid left in the tank.
With options that give a wider track width (WideTrackPlus)
and higher ground clearance (ClearancePlus), the tried-andtested Condor concept can also be used in speci c circumstances and for the most diverse crops. In addition to various possible options and versions, the Condor is ready to spray on plant level ensuring each individual plant receives the required dosage speci c to its exact needs, thanks to Agrifac innovations such as AiCPlus (location-speci c spraying camera technology) and DynamicDosePlus (individual dosage per nozzle). Previously only available on the Endurance II, these innovations are now available on the Condor V, which is available with 4,000 or 5000-litre tank options, and booms of up to 54m. FG

An entry level option is also available for smaller budgets or farms with only a small number of solar panels. This is a telescopic pole with a wide brush on the end that is water-fed and can simply be connected to the mains water.
Solar panels are a signi cant investment and, with the costs of energy and other inputs continuing to be sky-high, getting the most out of that investment is key. Dirty solar panels can be one of the biggest factors resulting in reduced e ciency of panels – and also the easiest to x – according to the Renewable Energy Hub, which says cleaning is “an absolute must” if you want to get the best possible performance from your panels.
Q: How much loss can be expected?
A: Designed from the ground up for solar PV cleaning, the Sola-Tecs brush o ers a complete high e ciency solution where manual methods are proven ine cient. With no motor or electrics, the brush head is connected to a pressure washer to drive the internal impeller. The high-pressure water is then distributed through the brush to rinse o any dust and debris. A choice of carbon bre poles provide a reach of up to 15m for roof mounted systems, or shorter modular poles for ground arrays. The system was designed with quality and reliability in mind, with the drive mechanism built from stainless and alloys for extended periods of use. Time e ciency is a key bene t of this system and the spinning brush means it is much less labour intensive than some other options on the market, as well as e ciently removing heavily ingrained dirt.
Depending on the size of PV array, this can equate to thousands of lost kWh per annum. PV panels installed on pig and poultry sheds are especially susceptible to heavy losses as roof mounted extraction fans dump dust directly onto their surface.
Exceptionally dry weather this summer meant precious little, if any rain, to rinse o the dirt and dust accumulating on solar panels – resulting in a spike in sales of solar panel cleaning equipment. But even in wetter periods, rain is not always su cient to keep panels clean, and the costs in terms of reduced energy output can be signi cant.
William answers our questions on the importance of keeping panels clean, the potential losses from dirty panels, and what cleaning equipment to use for the best results.
A: The accumulation of dust and debris build-up on a panel’s surface creates shading and hot spots, which directly impacts the e ciency of the panel – in turn reducing cash generation. The performance of a PV module decreases with surface soiling, and therefore power losses increase as the soiling builds up. Even a light covering of surface dust results in the e ective shading of the PV cell.

A: Hugh Crane (Cleaning Equipment) Ltd has over 40 years’ experience in the manufacture and supply of industrial cleaning equipment to the agricultural sector. With the rise of on-farm solar PV, a solution was required to maintain these PV systems. That’s where the Sola-Tecs systems came in. Rain on its own does not have enough cleaning impact to remove most dusts and debris – check your car windscreen after rain, it’s still dirty! A combination of agitation and rinse water is required for best results. Farms with solar PV can now bring the cleaning
With some of the driest conditions on record this summer, William Crane, equipment sales manager of Hugh Crane (Cleaning Equipment) Ltd, saw an increase in sales of the company’s solar panel cleaning equipment. But it’s important to note that even in times of more ‘normal’ rainfall, dust and dirt can still impact the amount of energy generated.
Soiling equals shading, which equals power loss, which means revenue loss.

The company also helps landowners to maintain agricultural use through sheep grazing once reseeded.

Renewable energy is set to become a very important income stream for farmers. With ever-rising input costs and the phase out of subsidies – alongside the government’s focus on ‘public money for public goods’ – renewable energy can provide long-term income that can be reinvested into the farming business.
should not be a core business but the revenue can be put to good use elsewhere in the farming enterprise and perhaps help to achieve other objectives,” explains Andrew.
Food security is another key concern – without su cient income to spend on fuel, fertiliser and energy, it’s inevitable that UK food production will su er. If poorer grade land is put to solar energy, for example, and the income generated is invested into machinery, technology and additional
renewable energy is garnering a lot of interest among farmers, who are well aware they need to plan for future economic and climatic conditions, John said. Renewables can provide landowners with a very important, long-term annual income, and could help to minimise the soaring costs of their own energy. Alongside the need for diversi ed income streams, there is also the increasing scrutiny from the government and general public on environmental issues.
land, food production could be increased, John points out.
For farmers looking to embark on a renewable energy project, Noventum puts together a balanced proposal factoring in aspects such as commercial considerations and inheritance so the landowner can make an informed choice. The startto- nish process begins with a site visit to discuss the considerations with a view to carrying out internal feasibility, grid feasibility and a highlevel planning assessment.
With costs of fuel, fertiliser and energy extremely high and margins tight, compounded by the recent dry weather impacting tonnages,
What sets Noventum apart from some other developers in the market, Andrew says, is it looks to develop own and operate projects so the partnership extends beyond planning – whereas many others are only involved until planning permission is approved.
In addition, the trend for wellness tourism has inspired many farmers to open up retreats; and there are the more traditional farm diversi cations, such as onfarm accommodation, camping and glamping sites and shing lakes.Diversi cation doesn’t have to be focused just on your land – are there nature reserves, national parks, or natural phenomena that could bring additional revenue back to the Whateverfarm?your vision, RAF says it can provide the funds, friendly support and practical help to open up that revenue stream – however diverse. But to safeguard the future of your farm, the time to act is now. FG

bookings and payments are made directly to landowners without any commission. Landowners are free to set their own pricing and accept members to stay on their terms. This includes choosing where they want the 4x4 capable members to set up camp, giving full exibility to adapt around farming activities.
For many farmers and farming businesses, enhancing farm income from sources other than conventional farm production makes sense. The majority of diversi cation projects will require some form of planning consent, be that through a full planning application or through the use of permitted development rights. As such, planning will be essential to most schemes.Wilson Wraight is involved with a number of diversi cation projects including holiday lets, change of use to dwellings, glamping sites, dog exercise areas, and the company has had several recent successes for the change of use of existing buildings to commercial uses.

An opportunity for landowners is arising with new planning rules requiring developers to improve biodiversity within development sites. Biodiversity net gain, introduced by the Environment Act 2021, seeks to ensure natural habitat which is damaged through development is not just replaced but enhanced by at least a further 10%. This new legislation has already been rolled out across a number of local authorities, creating a growing demand for ‘biodiversity units’.
Biodiversity net gain presents a novel diversification approach
The rm says its comprehensive understanding and experience of biodiversity net gain in practice makes it best placed to determine the appropriate way to deliver such a scheme. It combines ecological expertise with a comprehensive understanding of rural investment to provide well-informed advice on the natural capital market.

including a Dowdeswell Delta Furra model for tractors up to 250hp, Gregoire Besson models with 7–12 furrows and electronic headland management system, and the Rabe Raven with adjustable furrow widths for tractors up to 150hp.
The next series of International Harvester crawler tractors appeared in America in 1938. The T-6 and TD-6 along with the T-9 and TD-9 were farm tractors and the more powerful
Claas reported a good year and announced it was reducing its prices by 15%. The Saxham-based company had achieved a third of the total combine sales in the UK and made an agreement with Caterpillar to market the CAT Challenger range of tractors in Europe. Farm machinery news also noted that Claas had added a new Quadrant 2200 big square baler with a £56,500 price tag and needing a 100hp tractor. With the attachment Rotocut for a 150hp tractor it cost £70,100. Claas had also entered the 200hp tractor market with the Xerion which had four steering modes and a rotating cab that could be xed in three di erent positions.
improved BTD-6 with a 50hp power unit and strengthened transmission replaced the earlier model in 1955. International Harvester added the BTD-20 in 1958. Built for the construction industry and drainage work, it had a 124hp Rolls Royce engine and a six forward and reverse gearbox. FG
The International T-6 was the vaporising oil version of the diesel-engine TD-6 crawler tractor.
FARMERS GUIDE 25 YEARS AGO
The combine feature gave details of the latest John Deere options – the 2200 and 1170 series machines. The smaller 1170 series had a 170hp engine, with the choice of a 14 or 16ft cutter bar and prices from £96,000. Massey Ferguson would be celebrating 60 years of self-propelled combine harvesters in 1998, and the latest models could be equipped with automatic self-levelling cutter bars able to harvest across slopes of up to 25%.
Another special feature on farm vehicles included a new 4wd Yamaha Wolverine ATV with a 350cc engine and ve-speed transmission and the latest Land Rover Freelander rst seen at the recent Frankfurt Motor Show. The speci cation included 4wd, a petrol or diesel engine and optional 16in wheels. Other vehicles reviewed
The special features in the October 1997 Farmers Guide included ploughs and combine harvesters. The plough feature included a preview of the British National Ploughing Championships in Kent. All the latest multi-furrow reversible ploughs would be demonstrated alongside the ploughing match,
T-14, TD-14 and TD-18 were industrial models. The 85hp TD-18 weighed about 10t; it was about three times heavier than the TD-6 and used more than six gallons of diesel fuel an hour. The para n engine T6 and TD-6 diesel launched in 1940 had ve forward and two reverse gearboxes, clutch and brake steering, power take-o and optional belt pulley. The diesel engine was started on gasoline and it switched to diesel automatically after about 900 revolutions. The International TD-6 had been on the UK market for several years when the Doncaster-built BT-6 and BTD-6 were launched at the Royal Show in Blackpool in 1953. The BT-6 had a modi ed Farmall BM vaporising oil engine and a BTD-6 had a 38hp Farmall BMD power unit. The speci cation was similar to the earlier TD-6 with an indirect injection 4-cyl engine, electric starting and an hour meter. An
East Anglian dealer Pan Anglia made the news by selling its kit form rst Concept seedbed cultivator. There were two models; the 3m cultivator at £4,700, and the 4m model at £5,650. It was estimated that it would take two hours to build the 3m model.
included the new SsangYong Musso from Korea, the Daihatsu Fourtrak Fieldman and the latest John Deere Gator with an 18hp diesel engine.
EARLY INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER CRAWLER TRACTORS
The rst international crawler tractors, the McCormick-Deering 10-20 and 15-30 TracTracTors, based on the wheeled 10-20 and 15-30 tractors, appeared in 1928. The 10-20 model number indicated that the tractor, with a 4cyl kerosene engine, developed 10hp at the drawbar and 20hp at the belt pulley. Likewise, the 15-30 had 15 drawbar horsepower and 30hp at the belt pulley. The T-20 crawler, introduced in 1931, a tracklaying version of the wheeled Farmall F-20, was classed as a two-plow tractor and the more powerful gasoline engine T-40 (Trac 40) was the crawler version of the wheeled W-40. The T-40 and the diesel engine TD-40 with the same power unit as the WD-40 were made from 1933-39.
