Out & About With Farmers Guide editor Rachel Hicks and the team Farmers Guide machinery editor David Williams and marketing executive Patrick Over attended the Oliver Landpower open day in Colchester during early November – you’ll find videos of the event on our social media platforms, and a full write-up of the day in the next issue of Farmers Guide. Pictured (l-r) are: JCB territory sales manager, Louise Hemmings; David Williams; Olivers managing director, Charlie Glenister; sales director, Adrian Hewis; office manager, Toni Collins; and Patrick Over.

A protracted launch of New Holland’s latest T7 HD-series flagship, which commenced with a preview at Cereals in June, peaked at the German Agritechnica event this November when it was displayed to the European public for the first time. David Williams spent a few hours in the seat – find out more on page 63. Pictured with David is New Holland tractor product specialist, David Redman.

A Norfolk farming family was so impressed by its first Fendt tractor, that they bought a second just 18 months later. David Williams and FG marketing manager K.M Sharp visited the farm to find out more – you’ll find the full details on page 57, as well as plenty of videos online. Pictured (l-r) are K.M Sharp, Tom Gay, and David Williams.

Editor Rachel Hicks chatted with British Sugar head of commercial agriculture, James Little, in late October to discuss how the 2023/24 beet campaign is going so far. You’ll find the details within the ‘Looking ahead to spring options’ article on page 14. Follow the 2023/24 sugar beet campaign online via the Farmers Guide website, where you'll find a dedicated section.

Members of the Farmers Guide and Fruit & Vine team were treated to a tour of Plumpton College, while discussing future topics and editorial plans for the next 12 months of the magazine. Pictured during the wine tasting part of the tour is winemaker and lecturer, Sarah Midgley. Sarah is passionate about the wine industry and sustainability, and is current chair of the Sustainable Wines of Great Britain (SWGB) Winemaking group.

An old farmer got up in the middle of the night to use the toilet. As he was heading back to bed, he looked out of the window and saw the lights were on in his shed. A closer inspection revealed a group of men loading his tools and farm machinery into their truck. The farmer rushes to the phone and calls 999. “I need the police! There are some men outside, stealing everything from my shed!” he explains. “Okay sir, we are sending officers, they should be with you in about an hour,” the police dispatcher replies. “An hour?!” says the farmer. “But they’ll be long gone by then, and so will my stuff!” “I’m sorry, sir, but there are no officers

currently in your area,” the dispatcher replies. The farmer hangs up angrily, waits five minutes and then calls 999 again. “Hi, it’s me again,” he says. “Don’t worry about sending anyone over, I’ve just shot the thieving bastards,” and then hangs up. Within 10 minutes, three police cars and a helicopter arrive, and the robbers are caught in the act and arrested. The police sergeant storms up to the house and bangs on the door. The farmer opens it while in his dressing gown, holding a cup of tea. “What’s going on here?” shouts the sergeant. “You said you shot the thieves!” “And you said there were no officers in my area,” the farmer replies.

So asks Openfield’s before other grain exporters also pull land out of head of research, compliance and shipping, production leading to cereal prices rises due to Cecilia Pryce. shortage of supply? I have a feeling many may get the answer It’s been discussed for many years, but I feel wrong. If you take all three commodities, the there is an increased need for the government to answer is, that since the 2012/13 crop year, we have a close look at domestic cereal and oilseed have only exported more than we have imported production while I also urge you as landowners once.

Fertiliser matters Global markets remain volatile as disruption and high gas prices continue to reduce current supply, comments Openfield’s fertiliser manger, Lucy Hassall. At the beginning of November, Israel cut the gas supply into Egypt and the country’s state-owned gas company cut gas supply to urea producers – forcing shutdowns. It is not known how long this will continue, and whilst there are stocks of product on the floor this is less concerning, but as we see demand increase, and should India tender for more tonnage in the near future, it will almost certainly lead to firmer replacement costs into the UK. We continue to see production curtailment of ammonium nitrate in Europe due to the cost of gas, and Lithuania has recently shut down ammonia production at one of its plants for the next seven months. CF is now offering UK nitrogen for March only, and any growers looking for spring delivery of this could benefit from covering tonnes. FG

Health & Safety Advice Sponsored by Peninsula

lead to discomfort, disorientation, and loss of consciousness – in extreme circumstances, this can be fatal. Many underestimate the dangers of managing slurry, as it cannot be smelt in high concentrations. Due to the high toxicity levels, it can be very easy for workers to become overwhelmed and lose the ability to save themselves if they fall in. Livestock or children may also be in the area, sometimes unsupervised, so it’s vital to have proper fencing and adequate safety precautions to prevent animals or people who are not properly trained in slurry handling from getting in danger.

Regular checks and training

The health and safety considerations when managing slurry Gavin Scarr-Hall, director of health & safety at Peninsula, offers some advice on best practice for slurry management. Within the health and safety team, we talk a lot about proportionate measures. This means that nobody should have to invest in control measures that are unnecessary compared to the level of risk faced. But there is no avoiding it; agricultural work has one of the highest levels of risk of death or serious injury of any industry in the UK. There were 21 fatal injuries last year alone. This is why the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) expects a much higher standard of safety management for farming than in most other sectors, and slurry

management carries one of the highest risks.

Toxic gas Slurry gas is incredibly toxic, and fatal exposures can happen rapidly and without warning if the correct safety measures are not in place. Slurry is essentially manure and water. When these two elements combine, a chemical reaction takes place, producing gases such as hydrogen sulphide, ammonia, methane, and carbon dioxide. The odourless nature of these gases makes them hard to detect, which poses a huge risk. When inhaled these gases

It’s also important to have regular checks and balances to ensure that all the safety measures you put in place are properly maintained and working. It is management’s responsibility to make sure that all members of staff undergo the correct health and safety training to make them aware of all the dangers they will face on the farm. Reinforce risk awareness training by installing secure fencing, exclusion zones, and a clear warning to show when the slurry is being mixed. Toxic gases are released when slurry is disturbed, so everyone on the farm should know to stay away when mixing or pumping and the risk prevalent during this period. Ventilation and high levels of awareness from staff need to be considered – lone workers pose a significant risk therefore it is key to staff activities appropriately. Workers should leave the store following any pumping or mixing to let the fumes disperse. Buildings must be ventilated for at least 30 minutes before anyone re-enters after the

slurry is disturbed. Even outdoors, the gases are not sufficiently ventilated to reduce the risk of inhalation due to the sheer toxicity of the slurry, so don’t just assume that you are safe because you’re working outdoors. Never stand over mixing pots, reception pits, or slats as the risk of drowning in slurry poses a huge risk. If there’s no alternative to working inside a slurry storage system, then specialist confined space contractors should be used to do the work. All staff who are working on slurry should be wearing a harness and lifeline system. This will make it quicker and easier to rescue anyone who becomes overcome by fumes without anyone else needing to put themselves in danger by entering the system. Suitable materials such as small-mesh wire should be used to prevent handholds, as well as barbed wire at the top and bottom to ensure that livestock cannot push through the fence. Stores with a scraping ramp need to consider the risks involved for tractor drivers. As a precautionary measure you should install extensions at the top and bottom of the fence, or swinging flaps attached to the tractor stop rail. Although this may seem like a list of control and precautionary measures, they are all proportional to the risks involved with slurry handling, although these risks will vary from farm to farm. However, while the risks may vary, the level of training, supervision, and contingency plans that should be in place do not. Therefore, it’s important to ensure that if you are unable to eliminate the risk to your workers with relevant control measures, this dangerous work should only be carried out by specially trained experts who can meet the standards required.

News in brief Mid-range controller introduced Stocks Ag has introduced a new mid-range controller for its range of pneumatic, gravity-fed and spinning disc applicators. With key-pad menu navigation, Stocks Ag says the Jackal is an easy-to-operate, robust, compact unit. Its ability to process either a radar or gearbox speed signal from the tractor’s seven-pin ISO socket means it is able to deliver forward speed-related rate control. It can also be supplied with a GPS receiver

for this purpose. The large characters on the backlit LCD screen provide real-time read-outs of application rates, forward speed, area worked, fan status and hopper level. Programmable ‘hotkeys’ allow the operator to switch between two pre-set application rates as well as enabling on-the-move rate adjustment. The addition of an implement cut-out switch can

bring further levels of automation, shutting off the flow of material as the machine is lifted at the headland and then reinstating metering system drive once it is lowered back into work. The addition of the Jackal provides purchasers of Stocks’ Turbo Jet, Rotor Meter, Fan Jet Plus, Maxi Meter and Micro Meter applicators with three cost options and three different levels of functionality.

Preparing for changes to rodenticides law From 4th July 2024, the use of rodenticides containing bromadiolone and difenacoum in open areas will be illegal. The law has been passed to reduce the number of wild and non-target species affected by second generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs) residues. David Reece from Lodi has welcomed the move, suggesting that there are new, more sustainable ways to control rodents on farms.

“To bait burrows and open areas, such as hedgerows, farmers can use the new generation of cholecalciferol baits such as Harmonix. Cholecalciferol (vitamin B3) can control rodents in just seven days, yet substantially reduces the risk to non-target species like birds of prey,” says Mr Reece. Cholecalciferol was first registered in the UK in the 1980s. But it is only in recent years that bait manufacturers

have been able to formulate a palatable formula that can outperform SGARs. “We have developed a paste bait to make it more palatable. The bait also has a stop feed effect after two to three days which will reduce the overall amount of bait used and the risk of remaining bait harming non target species. This makes Harmonix a more sustainable option than SGARs for outdoor use,” adds Mr Reece.

Three new power harrows added to tillage range Kuhn Farm Machinery has expanded its range of folding power harrows with two new 6m models and a 5m unit aimed at operators looking to increase outputs and make transitioning between fields quicker. For the first time, Kuhn’s HR 1030 R range features folding machines, with the HR 5030 R and HR 6030 R becoming the new flagship models in the range and suitable for

tractors up to 350hp. They join the existing rigid models from 3–4.5m. The single beam design on the HR 1030 R machines allows easy access to the gearbox and transmissions for maintenance, while rear lift requirements are lower thanks to a close coupling design. Existing options featured on the new models include working depth and levelling bar adjustment in manual or hydraulic format.

A 6m HR 6042 R model suitable for tractors up to 460hp joins the larger 7m and 8m models in Kuhn’s high output folding power harrow range. The HR 6042 R comes with an oil cooler to protect the reinforced central gearbox from overheating during long days. Two side Duplex gearboxes make it possible for the operator to adjust rotor speed to suit ground conditions.

New first for apprenticeship scheme This autumn saw a new milestone reached in the development of the in-house Claas Apprenticeship Scheme when for the first time, new apprentices not only from England, Wales and Ireland as previously, but also Scotland, were welcomed to the Claas Academy at Saxham for their apprentice Induction and the start of their first three-week training block. Claas is the only UK machinery manufacturer to deliver a specific in-house apprenticeship under one roof. This year’s cohort is made up of 22 students from 10 Claas dealerships who over the next four years will study for a Level 3 Apprenticeship Standard in Land-Based Service Engineering Technician. Their training will be delivered by dedicated Claas trainers, alongside specialist product trainers from the main Claas Academy, so ensuring that these engineers of the future have been trained to the highest level on the latest Claas machinery.

UK agricultural tractor registrations – October 2023 Registrations of agricultural tractors in October were once again above both last year’s level and the recent average for the time of year. At 1,007 machines, the monthly total was 9% higher than in the same month last year. Indeed, it was the highest number recorded in October since 2016 and was as much as 30% above the five-year average for the time of year. That brought the total for the year to date to 10,709, 5% more than in the opening 10 months of last year. That is already higher than the annual total in three of the last eight years, most recently 2020. Month: 1,007 units +8.6% change (compared with October 2022) Year-to-date: 10,709 units +4.7% change (compared with January–October 2022) 97959

Based on the popular K9 2400, the 2410 has an upgraded CVT transmission produces a homologated 50kph road speed, whilst speed proportional electric power-steering (EPS) and an engine-brake improve handling and performance. The 2410 is available with either a climate-controlled factory-fit cabin, a ROPS frame with door, windscreen and canopy options, or a retro fit field cabin. As standard the K9 is available in Kioti red, with the option of green for customers requiring a more subtle colour. A rubber floor mat, seat headrests and electricassisted bed tipping complete the upgrade, improving driver and passenger comfort. The generously sized rear load area, ability to carry three people, 4WD and high ground clearance make the K9 2410 well-suited to multiple jobs around the farm. With a 500kg capacity, the urethane lined tipping bed can carry anything from tools, to feed, to supplies and livestock if fitted with the optional livestock hood. Independent wishbone suspension provides outstanding ground clearance and comfort. Selectable 4wd and optional off-road tyres ensure the power from the 25hp Kioti diesel engine is transferred to the ground. The K9 2410 UTV is available from early 2024.

Propyzamide Knowledge Hub launched for OSR growers Corteva Agriscience has launched a new Propyzamide Knowledge Hub for oilseed rape growers which contains the latest information and advice ahead of the key season for applications. Among a suite of new and updated resources, a ‘Propyzamide: Back to Basics’ website and video has been

created explaining how to get the best out of products containing the active, while also ensuring stewardship best practice is adhered to. Products containing propyzamide – namely Astrokerb and Kerb Flo 500 – can be applied to oilseed rape from 1st October until 31st January, providing the crop

has at least three leaves. But despite the relatively wide widow, central to Corteva’s advice to growers is to focus on using the right rate, in the right conditions and at the right time. “This is to ensure growers get the best efficacy as well as making sure the product stays where we need it – in

the field, controlling weeds,” says Clare Stapley, Corteva’s oilseed rape category marketing manager. “These new materials we have created go back to basics on what propyzamide is, how it works, how to apply it to achieve the best outcome, and practical advice on how to use it responsibly.”

To help decision making, farmers and their advisors are encouraged to download the Corteva Arable App to access Kerb Weather Data. The decision support tool has had significant updates to its functionality in recent years. All the new resources are available at www.corteva. co.uk/propyzamide

Looking ahead to spring options A delayed 2023 harvest, followed by a particularly wet autumn hampered winter drilling, so spring cropping could be the only option for those farmers severely affected. Well-considered spring crops allow flexibility in the rotation, reduce pressure on labour and machinery, as well as assisting with heavy grassweed burden control.

Maize: The “perfect” break crop in sustainable arable rotations Maize has a lot to offer in terms of building sustainability into arable rotations with low input agronomy, efficient use of nitrogen and soil improvement opportunities just some of the benefits, says KWS maize specialist Andrew Cook (right). It’s the “perfect” break crop for many crop production systems, but choosing maize varieties most suited to individual locations and end uses is key, he believes. “Markets exist for forage maize, grain maize and biogas production; and whatever the end use, being able to maximise yields in the context of individual growing situations is critical.” Another key

consideration is to match the heat units available in any particular locality to the varieties chosen, he points out. “Typically, hybrids with FAO ratings of 150–160 are considered to be ‘ultra-early’ and these require up to 20% fewer heat units than later hybrids with an FAO rating of 200+, which are usually classified as mainstream. “So, if you’re in a more marginal area, you’ll need to choose a lower FAO rating to get the most out of the crop and make the best use of your own individual situation.”

Drilling date key Maize likes to put deep roots down and does not do well in compacted soils. Modern thinking is to deal with such areas individually rather than carry out wholesale heavy duty cultivation, Mr Cook says. “It’s important to assess your requirements on a field-by-field basis. Subsoiling provides an enormous benefit – if it is needed – otherwise take the opportunity

to make a considerable saving on machinery and diesel costs. “When it comes to drilling date, this depends very much on location, although later-drilled crops seem to be the ones that have produced the best results in recent years. “Drilling too early in potentially cold conditions runs the risk of poor germination and establishment that can be carried through the season resulting in later harvesting and variable yields and quality. “There’s a growing school of thought that earlier-maturing ‘energy boost’ varieties, drilled at 7.5cm depth, are the most reliable way to produce consistent maize crops against the backdrop of increasingly variable growing conditions. “Growers choosing ultra-early varieties drilled at the correct soil temperature – 8ºC in lighter soils and 12ºC in heavier soils – are generally the ones that achieve the best results.” Looking at which varieties have delivered strong performance in 2023, Mr Cook says two in particular stand out. “KWS Temprano has delivered strong yields and quality this year,

particularly in regions with less than optimum maize growing conditions, whilst the clamp-filling variety Papageno has done particularly well in the more favourable areas.” Another key benefit of such high yielding maize varieties is that they allow optimum use of organic sources of nutrition such as FYM and slurry to be made, he points out.

Soil improvement Agronomy is relatively simple compared with other crops too, with no major diseases being prevalent and costly energy-intense spray applications negligible. Weed control is relatively simple, too, Mr Cook points out. “Maize doesn’t like competition, so weed control is essential. A preemergence will take out any initial flush but also slow the re-growth of subsequent weeds.” The winter period can also be used to improve soils and add valuable nutrients back ahead of the next crop, he adds.

Increasing demand for malting barley One year on from its full approval for malt distilling use by the Malting Barley Committee (MBC), highyielding spring malting barley Firefoxx, bred by Elsoms-Ackermann Barley, has continued to gain more support from growers, advisers, and seed merchants according to continued over…

Mammoth Millet

Black-Grass Troubles? Mammoth Millet - the perfect way to control Black-Grass without using chemistry.

Because Mammoth Millet is late sown and very competitive, it out-competes Black-Grass very effectively. Many growers on heavy land will grow Mammoth Millet specifically to suppress BlackGrass without using precious chemistry which needs to be used sparingly to avoid resistance.

McCreath Simpson & Prentice (MSP) seed grain director, Laura Beaty (right). “Firefoxx is definitely a variety on an upward trajectory, and, at MSP, we’ve seen demand for seed double over the last three seasons. On parentage, it’s a Chanson/Acorn cross and, importantly, is not directly related to another popular variety in Laureate, so it’s offering growers a very different genetic background, bringing some much-needed diversity back into the spring barley market. “[...] Its robust profile and earliness to harvest become stronger traits the further north you go. During a very challenging 2023 growing season in Scotland, where a significant percentage of spring barley was drilled a month later than it should, on-farm reports show that Firefoxx has proven its resilience with bushel weights, yields and grain quality all holding up well. “For malt distillers, its grain quality, low screening levels and observed key trait of being less prone to skinning than its competitors are big plusses, and, with another distilling-only variety Sassy now starting to look outclassed on yield, we see Firefoxx as its natural replacement,” she confirms. MSP agronomist, Robbie King (right), has been working closely with Firefoxx growers for three years, and sees the variety’s earliness as a

key agronomic factor. Mr King comments: “Any variety that allows growers to get some barley in the shed early, thus allowing us to begin transportation and storage, is a massive bonus. Firefoxx’s earliness also allows growers the option of an earlier entry for a cover crop. “On disease control, it’s comparable with competitors, offering very strong resistance to mildew. It’s stiff-strawed, stands well and appears to perform consistently in all soil types. Despite this season’s drilling delays and late harvests, Firefoxx has consistently recorded many of our highest spring barley bushel weights and shown the lowest percentage skinnings from our postharvest results. Both are important factors for malt distillers,” he confirms. On grain quality and market potential, Simpsons Malt Limited assistant raw materials buyer Sarah Lugget (left), says: “As a company we are moving thousands of tonnes of spring malting barley each week during harvest, so the benefits on logistics of an early maturing variety like Firefoxx are significant. “Assessing this year’s harvest results, the overall quality of spring malting barley – regardless of variety – has been variable. However, when I look at the tonnage of Firefoxx grown in regions above the River Forth, it has more than held its own, achieving above average bushel weights for the season. “My expectation is that the upward curve in

demand should continue for the next couple of years [...],” concludes Ms Lugget. Having grown Firefoxx for the last three seasons, farmer Colin McGregor, of Garvock Farm, south-west of Perth, wasn’t able to drill the last 25% of his area of Firefoxx until late April, putting his crop under significant pressure. Mr McGregor comments: “No two seasons are ever alike, but 2023 was exceptional given that we received all the right rain at the wrong times. “An extended dry period during May wasn’t helpful for the spring barley grown on our lighter soils either. Then the rain came, but forgot to stop. On fungicides we used a two-spray program with a T1 comprising of prothioconazole + trifloxystrobin, adding plant growth regulator (PGR) trinexapac-ethyl and manganese to the tank mix on 15th May. On 17th June at T2 we went with benzovindiflupyr + prothioconazole + folpet. “Although delighted with final average yields of 7.5t/ha, it really was a game of two halves with some of the earlier drilled Firefoxx on our heavier land achieving over 8t/ha. Importantly, the crop met distilling specification with average bushel weights of 68kg/hl, average skinnings of 3.5% at intake, and low grain nitrogen levels. A solid set of results given the weather, drilling delays and stop-start harvest. “For 2024, we plan to drill 243ha of Firefoxx with high yield, good standing power and crop quality the main reasons behind our decision. To come through such a tough year at 7.5t/ha was remarkable [...],” he concludes.

Considering sugar beet? To find out how the 2023/34 sugar beet campaign is faring so far, Farmers Guide spoke to British Sugar’s head of commercial agriculture, James Little, in late October. At the time, Mr Little said

the harvesters in York were running despite the wet weather, having moved past the Early Beet Bonus and into the main contract. Commenting on the health of the beet this year, Mr Little explained: “Canopies are looking fantastic, with a very healthy root crop below. So as long as we don’t encounter a hard frost, the harvest overall is looking promising. At the moment we’re predicting a yield average of mid-70t/ ha cross the whole campaign, with a mix of growers wanting to lift early and plant something behind the beet, and other growers wanting to lift in the new year in order to hit the later delivery bonus. “Amazingly, we have already had a grower hitting over 100t/ha, with contracts completed early,” he shared. The area of beet planted this year increased to just under 100,000ha, versus around 88,000ha last year, and yields are also far better compared to those following the summer droughts in 2022. Mr Little continued: “We’ve had lovely growing conditions with intermittent rain and sunshine; the good canopy has provided a great opportunity for photosynthesis. Sugars currently are looking at around 16.5% on average across the entire campaign, but given the good yields in terms of tonnage, it’s looking promising.” Disease-wise, Mr Little explained that there’s been a bit of beet moth this year, but overall disease pressure overall has been low. The emergency authorisation for Cruiser has, he says, played a real part in keeping virus yellows at bay. Through BBRO, funded by British Sugar and NFU Sugar, they are looking to try to develop the “crop of the future” – using crop developments across the grower base to ultimately become sustainable in the long term, both financially and environmentally.

2024/25 announced at the time of writing, predicting the number of beet growers for the next campaign is tricky. But in terms of benefits to the rotation, Mr Little says it’s a key valuable break crop. In the current climate of alternative break crops, it’s an attractive proposition – with the price of break crops such as OSR dropping significantly of late. There is some short-term apprehension around weather, Mr Little explained, but he pointed out that the key is working with the growers and contractors to get the contractors on the right land at the right time. “It’s a long-term, positive partnership between British Sugar and growers,” he commented. British Sugar offers the following tips and advice for farmers who are considering adding beet to their rotation: • Request a crop economics meeting with a British Sugar contract manager to discuss this year’s contract pricing and proposed bonuses • Take advantage of the most suitable seed technology for your farm, selecting varieties for BCN, AYPR, early sowing and Conviso technology • Instead of investing in all the equipment required, make use of the network of contractors who play a key role, from seed preparation, drilling, spraying, lifting and haulage • Discuss your rotation with a British Sugar account manager in order to agree your drilling and harvest strategy • Use BBRO’s benchmarking and yield enhancement tools to achieve your crop’s potential • Speak to a British Sugar account manager to discover the growing opportunities on offer, including the potential to rent land through British Sugar Self-Grow.

Sugar, fodder and energy beet varieties for 2024 Strube offers Morgan, Stewart and Button sugar beet varieties for the 2024 cropping season, delivering growers competitive yield in combination with other valuable traits, the breeder says. All three varieties share the Strube canopy characteristic, giving good early ground cover and later, a full canopy, Button and Stewart offer lower-thanaverage bolting performance and can be sown as soon as conditions reasonably allow. Morgan is suited to drilling after mid-March. For growers who experience beet cyst nematode (BCN), Button

offers tolerance to protect against yield loss, combined with excellent establishment. The focus for Strube Research’s classic breeding is to select for key traits in addition to high yield. The company‘s key target areas are to breed for virus yellows, cercospora, beet cyst nematode and ‘strong‘ rhizomania (AYPR) tolerance. In addition, Strube also considers the needs of the processor to optimise sugar extraction. In this regard, all three Recommended List (RL) varieties demonstrate very low total impurities, supporting optimised sugar extraction as a consequence. Morgan and Stewart have the lowest total impurities on the 2024 RL. For the fodder beet and energy beet markets, the breeder‘s high dry matter varieties Clemens, Degas and Gahan are proven to offer consistently high fresh weight and dry matter yields, derived from excellent field establishment and performance stability. In turn, this offers excellent feed value to the stock farmer and AD operator alike for cost per kg/dm and energy.

Pean and bean varieties bring a touch of 'genius' to spring cropping Two spring bean and two combining pea varieties from breeders LS Plant Breeding Ltd (LSPB) head up the 2023 PGRO Descriptive Lists (DL) and bring a set of positive agronomic characters for pulse growers planning their 2024 spring cropping. For spring beans, the newly-added variety Genius sits at the top of the PGRO DL for 2023, with the highest seed yield – just above Lynx, which LSPB says is the market-leading spring bean. As well as an uplift in yield above Lynx, Genius has a larger seed size with the same earliness of maturity and standing ability. Spring bean Yukon offers a premium quality that is reflected in its high thousand seed weight. It also has the highest resistance to Downy mildew and earliest maturity on the DL. Grower experiences have shown it is around 14 days earlier than most spring beans in most practical farm situations. Indeed, its earliness over other varieties may have had a negative influence on yield figures in official trials. The range of LSPB pulse varieties continues with combining peas where Carrington and Butterfly green peas lead the PGRO Descriptive List. Carrington is the highest-yielding green pea variety on the DL with the highest equal resistance to downy

mildew and good standing power. It is providing good samples – especially for colour. Green pea Butterfly is close to Carrington on the list with a very high yield, very early maturity, and an equally strong standing power. Samples underline its large seed size and good colour. In common with all LSPB combining pea varieties, Carrington and Butterfly have strong disease resistance profiles for the key diseases including resistance to pea wilt. Michael Shuldham, LSPB product manager, sums up LSPB’s offering to growers planning their spring pulse cropping: “We are pleased to have a comprehensive range of spring bean and combining pea varieties, including the top-of-list varieties discussed – as well as Takayama, the highest yielding marrowfat pea. “These give growers a very wide choice of agronomic characters as well as high yields to suit their farm and rotations. “For the future, we have promising candidates in the pipeline – including LVC (low vicine/convicine) spring beans which will help to widen the market for spring beans and do our part in developing the future UK pulse crop.”

Alternative break crops In 2022, wheat reached £300/t and OSR reached £900/t and as a result, so many growers went headlong into growing wheat and OSR in autumn 2022. This was bad news for break crops in spring 2023, with a significant reduction in the area of many alternative options. Since then, however, we have seen sharp declines in the price of wheat and OSR, and more turbulent times for OSR growers having to battle pests and disease. As a result, there is renewed interest in break crops for spring 2024.

Soya: Good on the right ground Soya has had its challenges, but remains a good option on the right ground (light/medium land). Disappointing yields have been the main historic bug-bear; however, soya prices have risen relentlessly in recent years and a tonne of UK-grown soya is worth over £500/t. This high value has offset the lower yields, and the gross margins are now quite attractive. According to Soya UK managing director, David McNaughton: “After difficult harvesting in 2019 and 2020, we saw the soya acreage begin to drop away; however, the crop remains an attractive option and we are anticipating an uptick in 2024.” Soya also has other attributes – there is a reasonable selection of chemistry for weed control, and soya is rotationally compatible with peas and beans, so growers struggling to expand their area of legumes will have a good option in soya. Another useful aspect of soya, is its easy market-acceptability. In any given year, virtually all samples of all grades will see acceptance at full value. Soya is also a very good nitrogenfixer, which is good news for growers, since increasing the area of legumes on farm will be a key part of farm decarbonisation. “Prospects for 2024 are upbeat, with the price expected to remain strong going forward,” shares Mr McNaughton.

Light ahead for lupins Mr McNaughton goes on to say that interest in lupins continues to grow. The resurgence in soya feed costs and supermarket pressure to remove soya from animal diets, is leading many growers to look at lupins as an alternative high-quality protein source. continued over…

“We are seeing a lot of growers taking up lupin-growing – either as wholecrop in mixture with spring triticale, or just as a crop of straight lupins for combining dry. “Again, factoring in the fact that lupins are great nitrogen-fixers and we add in the surge in fertiliser costs, it is easy to see why there are a number of advantages to growing lupins on livestock units as a home-grown feed. “In addition, like soya, lupins can be grown in the same rotation as peas and beans without invalidating the pea or bean break. “The perennial issue for lupins however, has always been a lack of a formal market, and, frustratingly, this remains as elusive as ever. Until a large feed manufacturer is prepared to make the switch from imported soya, to using lupins in at least some of their diet formulations, the lupins will remain hobbled by lack of market. This, in turn will mean that arable growers will struggle to find a market if they grow lupins – which is incredibly frustrating for a crop, where the margins, the agronomy, and the true ability to replace imported soya, is there for all to see. All the ingredients are there for the UK to have a large and successful lupin industry supplying the feed sector soya-grade protein, and that day is coming closer with more supermarket/ environmental pressure to move away from soya, and with the increasing cost of imported soya, perhaps lupins will soon get their day. Meanwhile, UK livestock growers will continue to grow lupins for direct feeding and this will continue to expand.”

Birdseed sector “War in Ukraine has had a distinct impact on our millet business,” Mr McNaughton says. “Previously, Ukrainian millet would have accounted for 75% of the UK’s annual tonnage, but with the war, the availability of Ukrainian millet has dropped significantly. As a result, UK buyers are looking to buy closer to home, and we are expanding our millet acreage quite significantly as UK buyers really like the light colour of

14-23 Arable.indd 21

Mammoth – our white millet – and the deep red colour of Minotaur, which is our new early red variety. “Growers are also getting used to growing millet, and with it being an easy, low-input crop, we can see a lot of attraction for growers looking for a simple, low-input crop that requires little fertiliser.” The other big impact has been on the price, with millet typically being worth well over £350 per tonne – making the gross margins really very attractive. “Historically, we would have seen millet values around £100 above the value of feed wheat, but at the moment, we are seeing values more like £200 over feed wheat,” Mr McNaughton continues. “Yields have been quite variable this year with some growers doing as little as 2.0t/ha (where the crop was caught in the drought) through to some growers getting near 5.0t/ha. “Five tonnes per ha at £375/t will turn a very nice margin for a crop with growing costs as low as £250/ha,” concludes Mr McNaughton.

Growing hemp successfully Hemp has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 140% and 540% compared to oilseed rape and sugar beet respectively when grown for biofuel. It smothers weeds, and doesn’t suffer many diseases. However, the legislation surrounding it is complicated. After completing a final dissertation in 2019 on the feasibility of growing hemp as a break crop, for an MSc in Rural Business Management, Hemp North founder Hugh Wrangham realised that on paper, hemp ticked all the boxes. He and his business partner, Alistair McLeod, decided to launch the company and give hemp growing a go. After obtaining the necessary licences, Hemp North, located in North Northumberland not far from the Scottish border, sowed its first hemp crop in 2021. The farm is approximately 600ha of various soil types and grows predominantly winter cereals, OSR and field beans, now in rotation with industrial hemp. continued over…

“Our objective was to show that hemp is an environmentally-friendly and viable diversification option for conventional family farms,” explained Mr Wrangham. “Grown as a sustainable break-crop, hemp delivers four times the CO2 sequestration compared with the same area of forestry, and delivers an additional revenue stream through the sale of British-grown highly nutritious ‘super-food’ hemp seed products.” Having made the decision to outsource the production of hemp seed oil, Wrangham looked at ways of dehulling the hemp on farm and considered several solutions that would

deliver hemp hearts. In addition, Wrangham needed to consider how the harvested hemp seed would be dried and cleaned. “To overcome the challenge of how to dry our hemp seeds quickly to preserve the quality, McArthur Agriculture supplied us with a Mecmar drier,” said Mr Wrangham. Director Scott McArthur also showed Mr Wrangham the JK Machinery range of cost effective postharvest equipment, including cleaning and dehulling solutions. On a relatively low budget and with a lack of knowledge of the necessary process but with help and advice from Mr McArthur, Hemp North designed a

DIY dehulling facility. “Working with Scott, we kept the facility modular and relied on gravity feeds and good old-fashioned manual labour to transfer the hemp seed between different processing stages. This allowed us to trial the system, learn the methodology and constantly tweak the parameters to improve yields and efficiencies,” continued Mr Wrangham. The post-harvest processing starts with the harvested hemp seeds being dried, if necessary, in the Mecmar drier. Once dried, the hemp seeds are cleaned and graded via JK Machinery’s JCC 05 VibroCompact vibratory sieve cleaner before going into store. Despite the steep learning curve of the first year, Mr Wrangham says the business has quickly established contracts and sales. The company is rapidly building up its e-commerce site to handle direct sales to consumers, and is seeing growing demand in its wholesale business with online health food stores, local shops and zero-waste stores.

Using farm-saved seed for spring cropping The recent heavy rainfall has brought autumn sowing to a halt for most farmers. So now is a good time to plan your spring cropping options. Some

farmers may decide to grow peas or beans in 2024, but for many farmers the best option could be spring barley. Good establishment in the spring is the key to good yields and crop quality. Well-established crops have a better root structure which helps the crop to withstand prolonged dry periods and gives better access to nutrition in the soil. Trials have proved that sowing big seed with the appropriate seed treatment is the best way to get a rapid establishment. Farm-saved seed will be the most cost-effective option for most farmers. So, it is important to keep some seed in store if you are selling your crop before Christmas. If you want to check the germination of your seed for the spring, then now is good time to contact your NAAC mobile seed processor to request a test. When planning seed treatment nutrition on your seed, then one of the key nutrients to consider with spring barley is manganese. The best way to provide manganese in the early stages is by using a seed treatment. That way the crop does not suffer a check in growth during the first few weeks.

Five priorities when choosing a spring barley variety Spring barley is an important rotational option on many farms, and more growers may well be looking to the crop in 2024 if exceptionally wet autumn weather has disrupted winter cropping plans. Fortunately, there is a good range of varieties to choose from, offering attractive yields, lower growing costs than those typically associated with winter-sown crops, and premium potential where malting quality can be achieved. But, whether the decision to grow spring barley is planned or unplanned, Limagrain UK arable technical manager, Ron Granger (pictured), says there are some key things to consider when selecting a suitable variety to grow next spring.

1. Market requirements Start by fully understanding your grain buyer’s requirements in terms of variety and grain quality, especially when looking to supply premium brewing or distilling markets, says Mr Granger. In some instances, contract specifications will dictate the variety that must be grown to supply a particular market, and criteria such as grain nitrogen content, will have an important impact on agronomic decisions and crop inputs throughout the season. “This is particularly true for those dependent on hitting a certain grain nitrogen percentage to achieve the contract premium, notably distilling, which requires 1.65% N or lower, brewing 1.65-1.85%, and grain distilling at 1.85%+. Grain nitrogen is not a concern for animal feed.”

2. Dual use potential Where variety choice is not dictated by the end user, growers have flexibility to select one that suits their requirements, growing conditions and farm situation.

With 13 malting and four feed varieties on the 2023/24 AHDB Recommended List, there is a good selection available, but Mr Granger recommends considering one of the dual use varieties, such as LG Diablo, which combines decent yield performance, with multiple end market opportunities, offering an advantage over many varieties now listed. “Newer recommended varieties certainly offer higher yield potential, and if contracts are offered, then they are worth considering. But dual use varieties offer growers flexibility to grow for more than one market, whether that’s distilling, brewing, or feed market sectors.”

3. Vigour and tillering capacity Newer varieties, such as LG Diablo, offer excellent spring vigour and high tillering capacity, which is a valuable trait in spring barley given the relatively short growing period, says Mr Granger. The best way to maximise spring barley yield potential is to ensure high final ear counts. The AHDB Barley growth guide suggests the final target ear population should be around 775 ears/m2, but even higher final ear counts may be needed to drive yield, he notes. “An 8–9 t/ha crop needs around 800 ears/m2, which at a 350 seeds/m2 rate, equates to around 2.5–3 tillers per plant at harvest. “However, experience shows optimal tiller and ear counts may be underachieved in many situations, meaning crops fall short of achieving their full yield potential. “Choosing a more vigorous tillering variety will help, as it will give some reassurance that the

optimum tiller count will be reached.” While variety choice, seed rate and drilling date all influence tillering and final ear count, the biggest issue is often the weather, he continues. “Drought will cause tiller loss, so growers must also ensure numbers are high enough at the outset by driving establishment and early rooting with frontloaded nutrition. Where spring barley is being used in a blackgrass situation, it is important that a vigorous, high tillering variety is selected, as a high tiller number must be ensured for the variety to compete. Later sowings will require increased seed rates to ensure a good canopy is achieved, as tillering ability will be limited due to the shorter growing period. “Spring barley is a fast-growing crop and if key nutrients are deficient at any time, yield potential will be affected,” Mr Granger adds. It has been shown in Limagrain trials, that higher yielding varieties respond positively to higher nitrogen inputs, due to their increased yield potential and, more importantly, a dilution of grain nitrogen content. Phosphate, potash, magnesium and sulphur, have proven beneficial to tiller retention and final yield, while additional micronutrients, including manganese, zinc, copper, iron, and boron, applied at the stem extension phase into flowering, are also useful, he says.

4. Disease resistance Strong disease resistance is an important characteristic to look for in any variety, and spring barley is no exception, with mildew, rhynchosporium, and brown rust being the main considerations, says Mr Granger. “Early drilling can significantly increase disease risk, so it may be particularly important to consider more disease resistant varieties for this situation. “Spring barley doesn’t have a main yieldbuilding flag leaf, so all leaves, including leaves two and three, must be kept clean and green as long as possible.” A Limagrain UK survey of more than 100 growers last year, found that most (70%) usually apply two fungicides, which is the preferred approach in “normal” seasons, with the first at growth stage 31/32, and the second at GS 37/39. Some may look to make savings in low disease pressure years, potentially putting more reliance on genetic resistance, however Mr Granger cautions that any savings should come from adjusting product selection and rate, rather than omitting sprays. “If you’re only spraying once, it’s difficult to judge the best time to apply it, and you’re second-guessing the weather. The key is to remain flexible and react to the season.”

5. Resistance to lodging/brackling Choosing a variety with good straw characteristics, is key to protecting yield and grain quality at harvest and potentially offers another significant output from the crop, be it for your own use, or for sale, says Mr Granger. However, while a variety’s RL ratings for lodging and brackling provide a useful indication, it is also important to recognise the role that agronomic decisions play, notably around seed rate, nutrition, and the use/timing of growth regulators.

Local weather, but global forecasts Every farmer knows the frustration of a forecast which says one thing and a view which says another. Cordulus says it is working to fix that. The Danish weather company has been servicing thousands of farmers with precise weather measurements for over five years. It quickly became apparent that merely recording the weather data wasn’t enough for farmers, we needed to predict it as well, Morten Birk (pictured), co-founder and CTO of Cordulus, says. “Many concrete actions on a farm are based on the weather in the very near future, which creates a need for accurate nowcasting of the weather’s development within a few hours or days. And that need isn’t properly met by ordinary forecasts,” he comments. “Most forecasts model weather conditions over large areas. This means that local weather variations are often lost, and that hyperlocal variations are

often purposely hidden. Our dense network of weather stations allows us to model the forecasts with a focus on hyperlocal variations. “Our forecasts focus on precise predictions of surface variables. This means that we focus our efforts on forecasting the weather conditions that actually affect farmers’ fields,” Mr Morten continues. “Cordulus uses proprietary deep learning technology, relying on data we collect from our network of weather stations, to enhance and downscale advanced NWP models. That’s what we call hardware-enhanced forecasting – where we calibrate the global models to best fit our users’ specific locations. “We constantly validate our forecasts, and have

back-tested our forecasts against existing models over multiple years. We can see that our forecasts are constantly outperforming other models, and that we statistically are able to eliminate up to 24% of the errors found in other forecasts. Yet that doesn’t mean that our forecasts are without error. “Weather forecasts will never be completely accurate. With more knowledge of the current state of the atmosphere, we can create more reliable forecasts – however, we cannot measure the future and must rely on estimates,” he notes. “But, when it comes to forecasting, accuracy and locality go hand in hand and our forecasts are as local as they get. We model the forecast to adapt to the conditions where the weather station is located – you can actually tune your forecast towards specific fields by moving your weather station.” Every farmer knows the value of accurate forecasts throughout the entire season for countless farming activities – and Cordulus’ goal is to support farmers cultivate that value.

Soil health takes centre stage at direct drilling demo Around 100 farmers from across East Anglia attended a recent demonstration day in Suffolk, where drills from leading manufacturers were put through their paces in a variety of establishment situations. The event at Street Farm on Ampton Hall Estate, near Bury St Edmunds, was organised by agronomy firm Farmacy, and kindly hosted by Strutt & Parker (Farms) Ltd and the Turner family. It provided a stage to discuss the attributes of different machines in a range of situations, from bare stubble to green cover crops. The demonstration also centred on the importance of understanding soil properties to ensure any cultivation, drill, or management strategy was ‘fit for purpose’. “The trial is not about finding out which drill is the best, it’s to show some of the areas that we as agronomists and farmers need to be thinking about,” said Farmacy agronomist, John Chamberlain. “With more and more growers looking at, or now practicing, direct drilling, minimal tillage, low disturbance cultivations, cover

crops and the like, there are so many permutations when it comes to establishing a crop. Drill technology is also advancing at quite a pace, and buying a new machine is a considerable investment, so we want to explore all of this in more detail to better understand what will – and won’t – work in different field situations.”

Six drills, six plots The demonstration centred around a field-scale trial where each of the six drills (see box) was tasked to directsow KWS Serafino winter rye into six different seedbeds, which included: 1. Bare rye stubble 2. Low disturbance subsoil (Sumo LDS) and disc (Horsch Joker) 3. Low disturbance subsoil only (Sumo LDS) 4. Standing cover crop (MaxiCatchCrop – buckwheat,

white mustard, berseem clover) 5. Mown and sprayed off cover crop (MaxiCatchCrop) 6. Ploughed and pressed Mr Chamberlain said plots would be monitored throughout the season, with plant counts and other assessments conducted over the autumn and winter, before being harvested for forage next year to supply a local biogas plant. Winter rye was specifically selected for the demonstration due to its sensitivity to drilling depth and pre-emergence herbicides, which should help to highlight any variations in drill performance, he noted.

Making soils work for you Alongside the drill demonstration, growers also had the opportunity to look beneath the surface of the sandy loam soil at the farm, where Hutchinsons head of soils, Ian Robertson, stressed the importance of understanding soil chemistry to make soils function better for both crops and machinery. “A lot of soil structure is driven by chemistry, so understanding that is key to getting your soil working effectively,” he said. That was clearly illustrated by Terramap high-definition soil analysis of the demonstration area (known as ‘Keepers Field’), which explained why

one part of the field had historically been harder to work than the rest. “We initially thought it might be because of higher clay content in that area, but Terramap showed that while there were some small variations, the difference in workability was actually more due to the calcium to magnesium ratio,” Hutchinsons digital services specialist, James Lane explained. “There was a much higher magnesium content in the bottom corner of the field, which was making soil in that area tighter, stickier and harder to work.” The same area also recorded higher organic matter, but because the Ca:Mg ratio was out of balance, this had little impact on improving workability. Understanding those interactions meant targeted management measures could be put into place, he added. Soil chemistry played a major role in the availability and cycling of nutrients too, Mr Robertson continued. High pH soils, as in Keepers Field for example, were at greater risk of phosphate becoming locked-up in the soil, therefore in such situations, it was more effective to use small amounts of placement fertiliser with seed at drilling, rather than a broadcast surface application. All continued over…

of the drills in the demonstration had the capacity to apply seed and microgranular compounds where required, with versatile hopper and metering systems.

Cover crop benefits Another area Mr Robertson urged growers to focus on was the use of cover crops to improve soil conditions and “feed” the microbial activity needed to cycle nutrients effectively. “Every soil has a ‘deep freeze’ of nutrients, and if we get it working well, soil will cycle those more

efficiently and into an available form that plants can use. “Microbial activity is one of the biggest factors influencing nutrient cycling, so it is vital we feed that activity and ‘pull’ nutrients out of the deep freeze by providing green cover throughout the year. It’s about getting soils to cycle nutrients better, not putting more on.” Analysis of the MaxiCatchCrop that was sown in Keepers Field after this harvest and terminated in the first week of September, revealed that even though it had only been in the ground for a few weeks, the mix had made a significant contribution

to nutrient cycling. Some 17t/ha of fresh weight had been put on, which contained 77kg/ha of nitrogen, 946kg/ha of carbon, and valuable amounts of other macro and micro nutrients. For nitrogen alone, assuming around one-third of that total was available to the following crop, in monetary terms it was worth around £30/ha, which was a valuable saving, especially on lighter land where nutrient retention from applied fertilisers could be more challenging, Mr Robertson said. “The carbon benefit from the cover crop is also important. We only measured the above ground biomass, but don’t forget about all of the sugars, carbohydrates and lipids cycling beneath the surface to feed microbial activity.” The diverse root growth of mixed species cover crops was also a valuable tool for improving soil structure, especially on the high sand content soil, which could be at risk of becoming “tight” in a direct drilling situation. When examining the soil profile, Mr Robertson noted a clearly defined surface layer of darker soil, high in organic matter within the top 30cm; however, beneath that, soil was less

friable, drier, lighter in appearance, and lacked the same organic matter and worm activity as the upper layer (see image on first page). “Ideally, we don’t want to see distinct joints between layers of the soil; it should be more of a murky transition as roots and worms help penetrate layers and mix material around. The best way to manage soils in this way is to put as many living roots in there as possible.” Additionally, roots helped to manage water throughout the profile, as living plants pulled water up from depth, and additional organic matter benefitted water retention – something that was particularly important on lighter, sandier soils, he added.

Give your land a spring clean Following a relatively wet autumn, weeds could take advantage of wet soil and open canopies to cause problems this spring. Adam Hinchcliffe of Bayer shares his thoughts on how to approach weed control in 2024. “Last season, grassweeds were a problem on many farms, wet ground made it hard to apply herbicides in spring and weeds tillered extensively producing many heads, increasing seed return,” explains Mr Hinchcliffe. “With this background of high seed return, good control is

doubly important this spring to stop consecutive increases in the size of the seedbank.”

Check weed status In winter wheat, make an accurate assessment of weed spectrum, resistance status and pre-em

performance before deciding if a follow up herbicide is needed in spring. Even where pre-ems have performed well, there are always some survivors which can recover. Added to that, there are spring germinating weeds so a field that looks clean in January can have plenty of weeds a couple of months later. “It’s easy to focus on resistance status, but population size is equally important when planning a post-em application. If the starting population is fairly small, then a post-em has a good chance of delivering useful control. With higher weed numbers, you have the situation where decent control in percentage terms, say 50–60%, means very little in practical terms because there are still far too many heads of black-grass, ryegrass or whatever the target is,” comments Mr Hinchcliffe. “This is why we say the post-em is about finishing the programme. There needs to be a robust set

of cultural and pre-em controls beforehand to set things up for success in the spring.”

Pick the product for the problem Choosing the right product depends on weed spectrum and resistance status. Mr Hinchcliffe explains: “In general, if grassweeds are the main target, then Atlantis Star (mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron + thiencarbazone) is the best option. It is the only post-em herbicide with three grassweed actives and typically provides 5–10% more control than the next best products.” But in some situations, with broadleaf weed pressure, Pacifica Plus (mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron + amidosulfuron) may be preferred. For ryegrass control, knowing the resistance status is important to choose between mesosulfuronbased products or pinoxaden. The 2021 NIAB/Bayer ryegrass survey showed that ryegrass does not have predictable resistance patterns and over half of populations in the survey were still susceptible to at least one type of post-em. continued over…

The new

CrossCutter Disc Aggressive Higher penetration in challenging fields CrossCutter Disc Aggressive extends the CrossCutter Disc range even further. The new CrossCutter Disc Aggressive has sharpened TrueCut cut outs, providing higher penetration capability in challenging field conditions.

Even with the more aggressive action, it still operates at ultra-shallow working depths of 2-5 cm and will move substantially less soil than a conventional disc. This not only speeds up decomposition, but also saves on fuel costs.

CrossCutter Disc Aggressive will perform in a more uncompromising way in heavy residues such as silage maize or heavy oilseed rape stalks.

Timing and conditions essential for success More than any other herbicide timing, the conditions at application have a huge bearing on overall performance of the post-em. As a rule, smaller black-grass and ryegrass plants are more susceptible so the aim should be to apply as soon as possible in the spring, but this means ground and weather conditions are more challenging. “First of all, the field needs to be fit to travel. Next, active growth so that weeds take in the herbicide, ideally warming soil and air temperatures but in early spring we have seen plants are still active on a metabolic level on bright sunny day even if not actively growing new leaves. This means that we can see better efficacy from herbicides on colder days in February than when we wait till the end of March when the weeds are potentially growing into stem extension and are not so susceptible,” Mr Hinchcliffe shares. On the day of application, weather conditions need to allow the spray to land, settle and dry on the leaf. This means no more than

a gentle breeze and ideally a bright sunny day to get maximum efficacy. Having sufficient drying time is important which can limit work capacity so it is important to have a priority list of fields based on the weed burden and the growth stage of the weed rather than taking the queue from the growth stage of the crop which can often be behind the weeds. Another benefit of the Atlantis Star is the label permitting us to get a full 15g of Mesosulfuron from the beginning of February, which helps to increase weed control. This spring, Bayer is launching a new decision support tool to help farms apply post-ems in optimal weather conditions. It will use local weather data to alert farmers when it is a good time to apply. More information about the tool will be made available early in the new year.

Spring crop preparation Effective management of weedy stubbles ahead of drilling helps give spring crops a clean getaway. The main challenge is to get good kill of all weed species including perennials and over-wintered

Once you have chosen the right rate for weed spectrum and development, application technique is all important. Trials in 2021 showed how applying

with 0.5m boom height and using suitable nozzles prevents drift and improves weed control from glyphosate. Also, forward speeds of no more than 12kph help keep the boom stable for consistent application.” In spring crops, competition is a key form of weed control so time drilling to coincide with rising soil temperatures so the crop can get up and away ahead of weeds (see Table).

Arable Improved early winter wheat growth with Nuello iN (treated on the left).

Looking beyond nitrogen The last couple of years have highlighted that a total reliance on artificial nitrogen for crop health is unsustainable – both financially and environmentally. So how can you reduce your artificial nitrogen requirements without impacting on yields? The price of artificial nitrogen and concerns over supply for 2024 mean that farmers need to think outside the box in order to reduce the quantities of nitrogen applied, without impacting on yield. There’s no quick-fix – but now’s the time to make a start. From nitrogen usage efficiency to nitrogen-boosting alternatives, there are options to consider. Alongside soil analysis, variable rate application to ensure nitrogen is

only applied where it is needed, and using slurry testing to check whether you already have more N on-farm than you thought, products which improve nitrogen usage efficiency are also key to reducing nitrogen inputs. This year’s results for a new biological product aimed at fixing nitrogen from the air for crops are very encouraging. Corteva Agriscience’s BlueN, a foliar-applied

biostimulant which made its debut at Cereals this year, provides a sustainable, supplemental source of nitrogen for crops. A novel nutrient efficiency biostimulant for use in a broad range of crops including potatoes, BlueN contains Methylobacterium symbioticum, a bacteria found in nature that captures or ‘fixes’ nitrogen from the air and provides it in a usable form to the plant. M. symbioticum is an endophyte bacteria, meaning it can exist inside the plant for the lifetime of the plant, providing it with a constant sustainable source of supplemental nitrogen. BlueN provides the equivalent of around 30kg/ha of supplemental N fertiliser in a season and, depending on their crop and fertiliser strategy, farmers can use it in addition to their existing fertiliser programme or to replace N when optimising their fertiliser rates. Modern endophyte seed treatment technology also makes it possible for plants to obtain some of their spring nitrogen (N) needs fixed from the air.

“Clearly, factors such as cultivations, seed rate, drilling date and protecting against establishment diseases with a fungicide seed treatment remain crucial elements in establishment decisions,” says Syngenta’s Dr Ronksley. “However, farmers are also looking to use N fertiliser more efficiently and farm more sustainably, and for the first time this autumn we have available the N-fixing endophyte seed treatment, Nuello iN, for winter wheat and winter barley seed. “Containing two strong N-fixing bacteria – Pseudomonas siliginis and Curtobacterium salicaceae – these enter the plant via the developing root, before colonising plant shoots and fixing atmospheric N. They provide the plant with organic N and ammonium and are ‘always on’ for the duration of the season. This has the potential to supplement traditional fertiliser applications.” Pointing to results from four UK replicated field studies examining N fertiliser dose response curves in winter wheat last season, Dr Ronksley says Nuello iN seed treatment was found to deliver a yield benefit equivalent to applying up to an extra 30kg N/ha on average.

Establishing a better way

09/11/2023 10:31 am

Seed treatments for better crop establishment Crops need a complex of different macro and micronutrients to ensure the best establishment possible. Fielder (UK) Ltd offers a number of different manganese seed treatment options, which it sells to seed merchants: Straight manganese (Manganese Solo ST), manganese plus copper (Manganese Duo Copper), manganese plus zinc (Manganese Duo Zinc), and manganese plus both zinc and copper (Manganese Trio), which the company says help to develop a stronger plant which is better able to overcome a host of establishment and growth dangers. Manganese Solo ST is formulated in the sulphate form, which is known to ensure seed safety and speedy uptake by the germinating seed. This 15% formulation (applied to cereals at 4-litres/ha) provides sufficient manganese to assist in crop establishment and early development in those manganese-deficient soils. Easy and safe to apply, it can also be used in conjunction with other essential seed treatments. Manganese Duo contains all of these benefits claimed by Manganese Solo ST, but additionally includes either copper or zinc, with these providing benefits to the young seed where soils may be low in these nutrients. Copper deficiencies often occur in sandy/peaty soils which are also low in manganese. Also, zinc is vital in helping early root development. Manganese Trio obviously offers the benefits of both Duo options in one. Another seed treatment developed by Fielder

is the plant growth biostimulant, Kick-Off. Applied directly to the seed prior to drilling, Kick-Off provides a generous complex of phosphate, phosphite, zinc and manganese, as well as amino acids – the ideal nutrient base to encourage speedy emergence and rapid root development. According to Fielder, the key features of Kick-Off are: • Encourages greater root growth • More even crop establishment • Improves plant health • Reduces plant stress • Maximises nutrient efficiency • Improves winter hardiness and drought tolerance • Enhances the activity of the plant’s dynamic defence system

Crop establishment in a field of oats – treated with Kick-Off (below) versus untreated (above).

• Increases yield potential • Fully miscible with all fungicide and insecticide seed treatments. FG

Case study: Treated plots out-yielded controls At a variety demonstration site run by host farmer Stephen Buckle and farmer-owned grain and seed marketing business, GrainCo, in North Yorkshire, plots treated with Kick-Off out-yielded the controls. The field used in the trial had been in continuous wheat for over 10 years, with one 0.5ha plot of Graham winter wheat drilled with seed dressed with Redigo Pro as a base dressing, and an adjacent 0.5ha plot drilled with seed treated with both Redigo Pro and Kick-Off. Stephen Buckle reported that he could easily see the Kick-Off-treated plot was thicker than the untreated plot, commenting that a positive yield difference of 0.7t/ha was recorded from the Kick-Offtreated plot versus the control plot, and said that in his opinion, the yield increase was very impressive. Fielder is currently running numerous different trial sites looking at bacillus and nutrient mix designed to reduce N and improve establishment and crop health. The early observations are looking optimistic.

New NPKS liquid fertiliser range launches Omex Agriculture has added a new specialised and premium quality NPKS liquid fertiliser range, Multiflo, to its product portfolio. The Multiflo NPKS liquid fertiliser range has been technically engineered to boost yield and quality whilst reducing fertiliser inputs. “The Multiflo range of grades includes NPs, NKs and NPKs, which are all available with sulphur for enhanced efficiency,” says Omex commercial director, Rob Burton. “The range offers accurate,

easy application in all seasons, with a choice of formulations for precision nutrition to work in multiple farming systems. “UK farmers are already familiar with our

Nitroflo range of liquid nitrogen fertilisers, and we are confident that the NPKS Multiflo range will bring additional agronomic and economic benefits throughout a crop’s lifecycle.” Omex technical development manager David Booty adds that phosphate is a key constituent in getting crops off to the best start possible. “Phosphate plays a pivotal role in boosting root development – essential during the early stages of crop establishment – which, in turn, drives plant health and ultimately yield and quality. Unlike traditional granular forms of P, Multiflo is 100% water soluble, which is significantly higher than any alternative in the marketplace currently, meaning it’s instantly available for crop growth. “Numerous Omex and independent trials have shown the agronomic benefit of applying Omex liquid fertiliser products over an equivalent granular option. The quality of materials within Multiflo has enabled farmers to maximise gross margin by boosting crop yield and quality,” he says. “Where Multiflo was applied on a seedbed potato trial a £138/ha benefit was recorded and in a salad potato trial, a 6t/ha yield increase.” The Multiflo range of liquid fertilisers also offer practical solutions to many daily challenges faced by farmers. For example, application is a one-person operation and it offers an easy, safe handling for the operator, with no heavy bag lifting or cutting issues and no storage or bag disposal challenges. FG

Alternative options for crop nutrition next spring With a reducing number of options for micronutrient applications next season, some growers will need to explore alternatives when it comes to providing the crop and soil with a balanced nutrition programme. Ensuring the crop has access to the right nutrition to maximise its potential means applying a tailored blend of nutrients to account for any deficiencies within the soil profile and ensure adequate levels are maintained. A prescription-grade fertiliser is now a key tool for growers looking for new

options, as Origin Fertilisers nutrition agronomist, Toby Ward (pictured), explains. “A prescription fertiliser based on soil and crop requirements is a popular choice as growers look to provide the crop with exactly what it requires. Even if you applied

a certain type of micronutrient application in previous seasons, it doesn’t mean that is the only option available to you.” With recent announcements regarding fertiliser supply, growers should be making plans to account for any potential gaps in their crop nutrition, which could mean changing from a liquid to tailored granular application. For growers unfamiliar with this method, Mr Ward explains that they won’t be forced into compromising on the crops’ needs. “A blended granular application can offer growers up to 14 different nutrients in a single bag, helping to increase deficient areas and apply maintenance top-ups in one pass. A balanced fertiliser grade, that includes vital micronutrients, can make the best use of major nutrients such as nitrogen.”

Important micronutrients Micronutrients play an important role in any crop nutrition strategy, and services such as Origin’s NutriMatch can tailor fertiliser products to the soil and crop requirements based on test data, which not only offers the crops exactly what they require, but means the investment in fertiliser

is maximised. “The most expensive fertiliser is the wrong fertiliser, and understanding your current soil condition and health offers a starting point for improvements to be made. Applying the right fertiliser at the right time and at the right rate will increase the efficacy of any application,” says Mr Ward. Crop requirements can change based on the rotation, so historical applications may not offer the current crop everything it requires. Crop quality and yield will always be limited by the most deficient nutrient in the soil, and crops will soon show obvious signs of nutrient shortage. Under The Farming Rules for Water, growers are required to test their soils every five years for key nutrients including phosphorous, potassium, magnesium, pH and nitrogen, so using this data can help to inform decision-making for nutrient management plans. “Advice from a FACTS advisor using this data analysis can highlight where the addition of secondary nutrients, and increasing levels of micronutrients, will have a direct influence on raising the availability of others in the nutrient profile,” Mr Ward concludes.

Arable access vital resources and continue developing,” he says. Mr Bond explains that nutrition is one of the best ways growers can support their crop’s resilience during the winter. “Key nutrients can help to support essential processes which are required for development, such as protein and energy production.” Some of the key nutrients for cereal crops, which Mr Bond explains should be applied ahead of the winter months for above ground resilience, are manganese, magnesium, and copper.

Supporting winter crop resilience above and below ground As temperatures begin to decline, FMC crop nutrition product manager Chris Bond urges growers to build up their cereal crop resilience through foliar nutrition to help them withstand the winter. Extreme weather conditions can make it incredibly challenging for autumn drilled crops to withstand the winter months. In light of this, Mr Bond explains that growers should be focusing their energy on building the resilience of their cereal crops now to endure potential extreme conditions. “We can’t predict what weather we’re going to get so it’s crucial growers prepare their crops to be in with the best chance of withstanding whatever is thrown at them,” he says.

According to Mr Bond, in order to achieve good overall resilience, building strength above and below ground is essential. “If plants have developed a robust canopy ahead of the winter months, this will allow them to continue photosynthesising and producing energy, ready for key growth stages in the spring. Supporting root development below ground will also give cereals a foundation to stand on during the winter, helping them to

Manganese “Manganese is an essential nutrient for cereal crops all year round as it is a key requirement for chlorophyll production and therefore vital for photosynthesis,” he says. “Manganese is also involved in the enzyme activation process for the formation of lignin, which is essential for building strong cell walls. If there’s a deficiency in manganese during the winter, crops will lose their photosynthetic capacity, which allows crops to produce energy and this needs to be protected ahead of the spring. “Many growers already apply manganese in the autumn, and I would advise that they continue do that using an efficient, high-quality product but deficiencies of other key nutrients shouldn’t be ignored. “Light and chalky soils are particularly high risk for manganese deficiency, so if you have any of these soil types, prioritise applications,” he adds.

Magnesium Often the ‘forgotten’ element of crop nutrition, magnesium plays an important role in many plant processes. “As well as manganese, magnesium is essential for photosynthesis as it is the central ion in the chlorophyll molecule,” explains Mr Bond. “It’s also a critical element for various plant reactions and is involved in the release of ATP, an important form of energy for plants. Applying foliar magnesium will be incredibly beneficial during the winter to help maintain energy.”

Copper

97618

Another important nutrient for crops during the winter is copper. “Copper is essential for many of the metabolic pathways within the cell and plays a role in lignin formation as well as helping with the integrity and strength of cell walls,” Mr Bond says. “Having a strong cell wall helps cereal crops to withstand frost and freezing temps that could cause

damage to the integrity of the plant.” Crops grown on peaty soils are most likely to be at risk of copper deficiency, so applying copper in these conditions is essential.

Zinc Alongside applying these nutrients to build resilience above ground, zinc can be applied to crops to build resilience below ground. “Zinc has a couple of roles for plants in the autumn,” comments Mr Bond. “It’s key for promoting plant hormones and plant growth. But it’s particularly important for root development and creating strong active root systems. “Having a strong root system is key for cold stress resilience. A good root system will allow crops to access other vital nutrients present in the soil and will give the crops an anchor of strength should conditions become challenging.” However, Mr Bond explains that zinc deficiencies are on the rise, with 66% of tissue samples in 2022 showing deficiency for zinc and then 75% of samples taken in 2023. This nutrient is at particular risk in the winter as zinc can get locked up in cold and wet conditions. “Applying a foliar application of zinc will help to get around this issue and will deliver a sufficient supply of zinc directly to the plant.”

The benefits of foliar nutrition Mr Bond explains that foliar applications of nutrients are an ideal way to maintain the correct nutritional levels and balance in-season. “Many nutrients present in the soil can get locked up in cold conditions and some can also be at risk of leaching in heavy rain. “However, with a foliar application, nutrients are applied directly to the plant tissue and from there, can be readily absorbed by the plant, effectively by-passing any risk of lock-up.” Mr Bond points out that foliar nutrition can also be cost-effective and can be applied with other products. “For growers considering a foliar application of nutrients, I would suggest Cereal Plus which contains magnesium, manganese, copper and zinc and can be absorbed by cereals quickly,” he adds. “The winter can be extreme and challenging for crops. But by building resilience now with the help of nutrition, crops have a much better chance of withstanding the harsh winter conditions, ready to get away during the spring,” concludes Mr Bond. FG

An autumn application of ICL Polysulphate multi-nutrient fertiliser to supplement conventional spring timings can increase wheat yields by 0.3t/ha and significantly decrease leaching of N and P over the winter months, new independent trials are suggesting. The three-year trial, carried out by ICL and independent field trials specialist Envirofield, show better nutrient utilisation efficiency and increased root development are the main reasons behind the benefits, says ICL agronomist Scott Garnett. “Previous trials in winter wheat have shown a 5–8% increase in yields from spring-applied Polysulphate by itself, but this latest work shows a further significant response from an initial application of the product in the autumn. The trials, carried out in Suffolk on loam soil using the variety Skyfall, showed a single 100kg Polysulphate/ha application in the spring to provide around 50kg SO3/ ha, delivered an average yield over the three years of 10.49t/ha. “But when this was preceded by a supplementary application of 100kg of Polysulphate/ha the previous autumn, an average yield of 10.79t/ha was achieved – an increase of 0.3t/ha. “At current values, the cost of the extra application of Polysulphate would be more than covered by the additional grain income plus there are significant environmental benefits to factor in.” Polysulphate’s prolonged release action and unique 48% SO3, 14% K2O, 6% MgO and 17% CaO analysis was key to achieving the results seen, Mr Garnett believes. “Optimum levels of sulphur are essential in driving nitrogen utilisation but practically all soils in the UK are deficient in this vital element now, so no matter how much N you apply, without sulphur you will never get the most out of it. “Polysulphate’s 48% SO3 content rapidly builds sulphur to the optimum level in the soil and the prolonged release nature of the product keeps levels topped up as plants develop through the autumn. “Potassium is also essential in maximising NUE, so the 14% K2O in Polysulphate plays a vital role alongside the high level of sulphur contained.” Creation of early root mass is another yield-building benefit of autumnapplied Polysulphate, Mr Garnett says. “We have done a lot of work on how Polysulphate affects establishment of crops and there is clear evidence the calcium and magnesium it contains encourage greater phosphate uptake by the

Additional root mass (right) created by Polysulphate applied in the autumn.

plants and significant development of roots. Trials in winter cereal crops show 34% greater phosphate uptake by plants receiving the autumn application of Polysulphate and this is directly proportional to the extra root mass seen. This aligns with other trials across a range of crops showing a consistent 30–40% increase in phosphate uptake from Polysulphate. “Growers wishing to take full advantage of these benefits have two main options regarding applications this autumn. Polysulphate can be applied from early October to before Christmas either as a straight or in a blend as part of a grower’s autumn fertiliser programme. It can be broadcast using fertiliser spreaders or direct-drilled with the seed.” “Polysulphate can be applied by itself or blended with other fertilisers to provide the precise formula for an individual growing situation and to help farmers achieve ‘little and often’ applications. “The fact that Polysulphate contains no nitrogen also allows producers to take full advantage of the most environmentally-friendly nitrogen sources such as the latest inhibited or control release fertiliser urea fertilisers and foliar products. “In fact, Rothamsted Research estimates that by breaking the link between nitrogen and sulphur, use of Polysulphate alongside alternative low emission nitrogen fertilisers could decrease ammonia emissions from sulphur fertiliser applications by 90%.” Polysulphate also has the lowest carbon footprint of all equivalent fertilisers at less than 6% of the carbon footprint of nitrogen sulphur products, Mr Garnett points out. “All in all, Polysulphate represents a new generation of fertilisers more closely aligned to the needs of growers, the wider food industry and consumers in the future.” FG

Knight Farm Machinery displayed and demonstrated the latest sprayer technology and its new Red Line sprayer line-up on a Lincolnshire farm in early October.

Knight’s Maximizer E-fluid control system is standard. The Gecko has a user-friendly chemical induction bowl and simple controls.

Range widened to include new sprayer and cultivator options Knight Farm Machinery enjoys a strong reputation for designing and building high specification sprayers and a small but specialised range of cultivation equipment. Now the company has entered into an agreement with a Belgian manufacturer to supply and back-up its range of cost-effective products in the UK. David Williams saw what is available. The event, on a farm in west Lincolnshire, included examples from the new Red Line product line-up as well as demonstrations of the latest technology featuring on Knight’s premium UK-built sprayers.

Cater for demand Knight explained that one of the reasons for offering the additional line-up is that many of its 80 UK dealers want to cater for the needs of all sizes and types of farming business, but that Knight’s own range doesn’t include cheaper models with a lower specification. “Not everyone wants or needs the highest work rates or capacity, and many smaller farms, amenity contractors, and fruit growers just want something accurate and reliable and with a lower cost – especially as their older sprayers reach the end of the road for economical repair,” explained Knight sales and marketing consultant, Paul Harrison.

remain fully dedicated to designing and manufacturing its own full technology larger sprayers at its factory at South Luffenham.

Range of specifications The Red Line sprayer line-up includes mounted sprayers from 600–1,800 litres capacity and with boom widths of 12–28m. Larger models also incorporate Knight’s MAXImizer E fluid control system, which ensures efficient flow of liquid while keeping the plumbing to a minimum for fast response and a low volume of residual fluid. The PA series includes models 600–1,000 litres with 12–18m manual folding booms, with control through a simple switch box for pressure and spray activation. The higher-specification PLH models are from 600–1,000 litres and with 18–21m booms and feature hydraulic folding and more advanced

controls. Both series can be specified with pumps from 120–165 litres/min output. Highest specification Gecko models include the PLK with a 1,500-litre tank and 21–28m sidefolding booms, and the RF with an 1,800-litre tank comes with 18–28m rear-folding booms. The choice of pumps includes 174–255 litres of maximum flow. Basic controls are standard, but the specification includes Maximizer E fluid control. A Spraymat 2 controller, Isobus compatibility, auto height sensing and rate control are all upgrade options.

Knight sprayer updates Knight also announced updates to its own sprayer range at the event, including trailed models up to 12,000 litres capacity. New Trailblazer 7000 and 8000 models with 7,000- and 8,000-litre,

Hydraulic boom folding is standard on Gecko models.

roto-moulded tanks come as standard with a single axle but can be supplied with a second air-suspended support axle to meet transport regulations – an option that will appeal to farmers travelling from the yard to the field with tanks filled with liquid fertiliser. Booms of 24–40m can be fitted, equipped with Knight’s 4D boom suspension system and spray section selection down to single nozzles. Larger 10,000- and 12,000-litre models have stainless steel tanks and tandem axles as standard. The axle steering system has Muller controls. All models are Isobus-compatible. Additional new features include a lower boom park position to maximise stability for transport and a revised operating area around the induction bowl. A new Maximizer Pro version of Knight’s Maximizer has been introduced. The Maximizer circulation continued over…

Proven brand The new sprayers and cultivators are manufactured by Beyne which, like Knight, is a family-owned business. Beyne has manufactured sprayers since 1974, but the range hasn’t been available in the UK previously. Knight has history working with Beyne for several years already – supplying self-propelled skid units for Beyne to mount its own spraypacks. Working with Beyne means that Knight can

The Gecko PLK has a 1,500-litre tank and is available with side folding booms from 21–28m.

Knight also announced updates to its Trailblazer trailed sprayers, including new 7,000-/8,000-/10,000- and 12,000-litre models.

technology includes a live induction hopper, booms supplied at multiple points to ensure even spray-line pressure, and continuous circulation of fluid through the complete boom supply system. Maximizer Pro brings additional efficiency benefits, including reducing boom pipework by 21% for even better spray-line circulation. Knight quotes a 7.5-litre reduction in retained spray fluid volume for its TB5200 trailed sprayer.

Maintaining accuracy At the event, Knight demonstrated its Vario-Select and Curve Control application technology. Vario-Select uses a four-nozzle body to ensure

Vario-Select nozzle control which maintains optimum droplet size is a popular option. Curve Control is also increasingly specified for trailed and self-propelled sprayers with wider booms.

optimal droplet size as application rates and travel speeds alter, in line with user-defined parameters. As the sprayer speeds up or slows down, then the system automatically switches to the most suitable nozzle or nozzle combination to maintain correct application rates without sacrificing droplet size. Curve Control uses section control across the spray width to maintain the correct application rate during turns. On wider sprayers, the difference in travel speed across the ground between nozzles on the inside and outside of the turn is considerable. By dividing the boom into smaller sections and controlling the application rate of these individually, the system can maintain the correct rate for the sprayed area, avoiding under- or over-dosing. Knight said that although control by individual nozzle section is achievable, most users opt for 16–18 section control. The typical four-nozzle combination fitted to the demonstration sprayer allowed application rates from 57–531 litres/ ha to be achieved. Demonstrator John Wooding said that with the inner boom section travelling at only 5.7kph across the ground during tight turns, while the outer-most section achieved

Brian Knight says that there is demand for the company’s rear, front and rear, trailed and self-propelled sprayers and that modern front and rear tank tractor-mounted combinations can replace ageing self-propelled sprayers of similar capacity.

53kph, the nozzle combination still maintained the correct rates.

Cultivator range extended Complementing Knight’s proven Raven and Triple Press cultivators, Knight is offering Red Line power harrows and cultivators, built in Beyne’s factory in Austria – formerly home to Vogel and Noot.

Red Line power harrows The power harrows come in two specification levels. Base MS variants – with 50mm rotor shafts are for tractors up to 180hp, while the premium MG models are rated for 230hp and have 60mm shafts. The power harrows come in a 3m working width, with 12 rotors and a double skin trough.

Red Line Arterra power harrows are available in a 3m working width.

Compact disc cultivators Meeting growing demand for compact disc cultivators, Red Line TerraDisc models come in working widths of 2.5–4.0m in mounted format, and 4.0–6.0m trailed models. Discs are 510mm diameter standard (560mm is continued over…

New mowers and rakes to launch for 2024 SIP has launched a new Disc HD mower range alongside a new generation of rotary rakes, which will debut at Agritechnica and LAMMA. SIP says its new Disc HD range “redefines mowing with exceptional performance, innovative technology, robust design solutions and efficiency”. Including advanced features such as swath merging, exceptional mowing quality on undulating terrain and cutting-edge safety measures, these mowers offer a “perfect solution” that addresses the challenges of modern farming and contracting. Expanding SIP’s range of mower conditioners, the Disc HD 1000 D FS

offers working widths of 9.20–10.20m and the Disc HD 1100 D FS working widths of 10.5–11.08m – now the largest butterfly mower conditioner available from the company. These mowers deliver impressive capacity of up to 18.5ha/hour and 20ha/hour respectively and are fitted with steel finger conditioners. The Disc HD 1000 D FS can be equipped with cross conveyor belts for swath merging, when it is designated the Disc HD 1000 D FS

BC. With advanced conditioning and swath merging technology using belt conveyors, you can mow, condition, and prepare forage swaths in one pass – crucial in short harvest windows. To ensure exceptional mowing quality on slopes and an impressive 515mm sideshift capability of each cutterbar increases overlap when turning. Guaranteeing smooth operation on all terrain, the mowers are equipped with the hydro pneumatic suspension system (HPS), ensuring premium forage quality, and a significant reduction in cutter bar wear and fuel costs. The newly designed aerodynamic cutterbar increases crop flow dynamics preventing the accumulation of cut material in the cutterbar area, improving mowing efficiency. The 409mm diameter discs on the 16-disc cutterbar ensure uniform crop flow while reducing power/fuel consumption. The DDSS (Disc Drive Safety System) offers protection via shear pins integrated into a double flange. The support frame is fitted with a combination of double dampers absorbing peak dynamic loads, extending the overall system's lifespan. The Overload Monitoring System

covers the entire driveline, ensuring every component operates at its peak performance. It operates as an early warning system, sensing rotation speed drop anywhere along the driveline, and providing an alert via the in-cab control box. SIP has also introduced a new generation of rotary rakes – the Star R 870|26 TC (8.6m maximum working width) and Star R 930|28 TC (9.25m maximum working width). These centre delivery rakes offer robust and powerful solutions for maximum performance, ease of maintenance and operation, the company reckons. This new generation of Star rakes fits the needs of medium to large farms and contractors. The Star R 930|28 TC boasts a capacity of 13ha/hour, catering to those with even larger operational demands. These models complete SIP’s range of existing large central delivery rakes including the STAR 1000 and 1250 machines. The Disc HD 1000 FS BC and the 930|28 TC H will be on show at Agritechnica, in Hanover from 12–18th November and launched to the UK market at LAMMA, at the NEC Birmingham on 17–18th January. Machines will be available in the UK for 2024. FG

Safer and easier handling of big bags The Ceres Bag Buddy makes precise manoeuvring of big fertiliser, seed and feed bags simple and safe for machinery, environment and personnel. The Ceres Bag Buddy is a range of Big Bag Lifters from one 600kg up to six 1,000kg bags, with the most popular being the Model 4 –

Fixed Arm, designed to carry four 600kg or two 1,000kg bags. The Model 4 is also available as a Hydraulic

Adjustable version (Model 4H), allowing the carrying arms to be quickly and easily positioned from the safety of the cab, to accommodate varying sizes and placement of bags. The Bag Buddy is a convenient and easy way to controllably manage fertiliser, seed and feed bags, far more safely than the questionable use of pallet tines, decreasing the risk of damage, not only to hoppers and coulters, but also to lorries, buildings and overhead cables, the manufacturer reckons. It is designed with minimal sharp edges to prevent damage to the bags and reduce the risk of hazardous and costly mishaps. The lightweight, but substantially braced, frame helps support bags from behind, greatly reducing swing, Ceres explains. Increased telehandler stability is also achieved by keeping the headstock and boom approximately 4ft lower than if using pallet tines, thus lowering the centre of gravity, whilst still achieving the same lift, with the added benefit of increased reach over hoppers and around drill coulters. The Bag Buddy comes with retaining loops at both ends of each arm, so bags can be quickly secured for transport and in adverse weather conditions. The entire frame is painted in the bright Ceres orange for increased visibility for vehicles around you and ease of use in dark buildings. The Bag Buddy comes delivered ready to go straight to work, with the correct brackets to fit onto your machine. FG

New scalable packing line introduced

Leading designer and installer of automated packing lines, Pace Mechanical Handling used last month's Midlands Machinery Show to launch a new scalable packing line for on-farm packing. Designed to overcome labour shortages, Pace Mechanical Handling introduced show visitors to its new

Stella Evolution system. The Stella Evolution features an Electra weigher capable of handling

10 tonnes per hour; an in-bag weigher designed to fill 10–25kg potato sacks; an auto sack placer and presenter; and a complete bag control system feeding a heavy-duty Smitsen DS9C sewing head. As well as exceptional build quality and reliability, the Stellar Evolution line features one of Pace’s latest innovations: a single bag clamp that automatically adjusts to the size of the bag being presented, removing the need for a second bag clamp and eliminating the change over time found on other systems. “Over the last eighteen months, we have seen a rise in enquiries from smaller growers and on-farm packers struggling to operate efficiently given the labour situation,” says Nick Cesare, Pace’s managing director. “We developed a new line for Olly Palmer, a potato packer in Suffolk, and he was so impressed with the performance, efficiency and price point that we’ve decided to offer it as a complete solution. The beauty of the Stella Evolution system is that it is scalable, so we can increase or reduce its capacity and features to suit each grower’s needs, hence its name, which is the process by which a

star changes over time.” O Palmer Ltd supplies Babylon chipping potatoes in 25kg sacks for use by fish and chip shops across the country. “The new line, which we started using in September, is the third time we’ve worked with Pace,” says Olly. “Over the years, we have been really impressed with the speed, reliability and efficiency of Pace’s lines and have only upgraded the line when the technology has moved on significantly. “The latest line is the best yet. It is really well made, accurate and more than capable of running at 15 tonnes per hour. We don’t have a large team here, so having the Pace Stella Evolution makes a real difference. My uncle, Steven Sizer, is also involved in potato packing and is using our old Pace line, which still has lots of life left in it!” In addition to being scalable and customisable, the Stella Evolution system comes with a five-year warranty on parts and free online service management for the duration of ownership.

News New high output, high accuracy seeder-applicator Dealer expands territory further into Yorkshire Established Merlo dealer Agriscope has been awarded an increased Merlo territory following recent changes to the Merlo dealer network. “Following the retirement earlier this year of the longstanding Merlo dealer for Yorkshire we took steps to ensure support was in place for existing and new Merlo customers in Yorkshire,” comments Owen Buttle, national sales manager of Merlo UK Ltd. “One of those steps was to increase the territory covered by Agriscope for Merlo. This increase in responsibility sees the dealer now covering a territory that extends north to York, with the A1 to the west, and Market Weighton in the East. As an existing Merlo Gold Standard dealer and the 2023 Merlo Dealer of the Year, Agriscope is well placed to support those

customers with their Merlo requirements, whether that be sales, service or parts”. Happy to help with all customer requirements, Agriscope service director Marc Shaw states: “We have built an experienced team of staff over the years and with well-equipped service vans and extensive parts stocks at both Doncaster and Louth premises we are well placed to back up new and existing Merlo customers with a timely, efficient service.” The full Merlo Agricultural telescopic handler range, Cingo tracked carriers, TreEmme attachments and forestry tractors are available from Agriscope. You can find out more about Agriscope online at www. agriscope.co.uk or by calling Agriscope directly at its Doncaster or Louth depots. FG

Stocks Ag has developed a new product line-up for its range of pneumatic applicators, able to spread seed and granules wider and at higher rates than before. Launching at Agritechnica, the Maxi Jet can be used to apply seed and granular products at extremely high rates of up to 200kg/ ha on machines up to 6m wide. Alternatively, it can be used to spread material up to 15m at more conventional application rates, making it the widest-spreading Stocks applicator to date. With two- and fouroutlet metering units available supplying the standard eight-outlet distribution heads, it is possible to have up to 32 spreader plates across the working width of whatever machine the applicator is fitted to. If more are required there is the option for larger bespoke

distribution heads, with up to 20 outlets each. Generally, the two-outlet Maxi Jet 2 is recommended for working widths of up to 8m, while the fouroutlet Maxi Jet 4 is designed for machines up to 15m wide. As with all Stocks applicators, fluted feed rollers are used to precisely meter material out of the hopper. New high-capacity rollers make it possible to handle large and small seeds at high rates and high application speeds. FG

Satisfaction with new tractor resulted in second of the same model A Norfolk farming family was so impressed by its first Fendt tractor, that another of the same model followed just 18 months later. David Williams visited the farm to find out more. Trading as CB Gay, John Gay and his son Tom farm approximately 260ha of land rented from Blickling Estate. The farming enterprise is all-arable apart from a small amount of grass which is part of a livery yard, and the crop rotation includes oilseed rape, winter wheat, winter and spring barley and sugar beet. Wildfarmed grain is being grown for the first time this year as part of a strategy to farm more sustainably. Forty hectares of potatoes are grown too, on a sub-letting arrangement with a local producer.

Finance Available

Wanted more technical capability Tom has been running the farm with his father for approximately 12 years, and he is the third generation of the family to farm there, since the land was acquired over 50 years ago. “We are keen to use the latest technology where it’s appropriate to improve our operating efficiency and accuracy,” he explained. “We got on well with our previous tractors, but always felt limited by the level of technology. I could see that investing in a tractor

with more advanced precision farming capability would give us extra opportunities to improve our operating efficiency. We trialled a Fendt 700 Vario-series tractor loaned by Thurlow Nunn Standen (TNS), plus several competitor brand tractors from other dealers in our area.”

Strong dealer relationship A shortlist of three tractors was created. “All the tractors we tried had their good points, but my father and I very much liked the Fendt,” expressed

Tom Gay was keen to have a tractor with enhanced controls and more precision farming technology. The Trimble guidance terminal used with the previous tractor was retained and installed into the new tractor by the TNS team.

Tom. “We also knew that it would be very hard to fault the back-up from the TNS team; especially area sales manager, Paul Defew, and Philip Andrews in the workshop, as our previous tractors, combine harvester and many implements were all supplied and are looked after by the dealer.”

Surprisingly affordable John said he had always assumed that a Fendt tractor would be out of continued over…

A large, heavy-duty 5.8m Major cutter is a recent purchase from Thurlow Nunn Standen. Operating with the Fendt tractors, it is used to maintain the farm’s 6m grass headlands and to chop cover crops. …from previous page

the farm’s price range. “The standard specification is higher than other brands but includes many features we need. So, by the time the other dealers added the cost of the optional upgrades needed to bring their tractors up to a similar equipment level to the Fendt, the prices were surprisingly close. “We were confident that the Fendt would be reliable which would keep repair costs low and expect the

retained value to be higher than other brands, so the attractive deal offered by the TNS team made sense. We ordered a 722 Vario Power+ that was in stock.” The 222hp Fendt replaced a 200hp tractor, and its primary roles include drilling with a Vaderstad Spirit 3m drill, applying fertiliser through a Kverneland GeoSpread mounted disc spreader plus general tasks including grain carting, mowing and cultivations. The drill

and fertiliser spreader both utilise the tractor’s Isobus connectivity, and spreading accuracy is enhanced using section control and variable rate applications. The farm’s existing Trimble GPS terminal was retained for field mapping and guidance. “We get on well with the Trimble terminal and there was no need to replace it, so the TNS engineers helped us install it in the new tractor. It linked easily into the Fendt’s control system and provides the location reference for automatic implement control,” continued Tom. “The Trimble display is at the top of my right-hand window, and then I have the FendtONE terminal on the right-hand armrest and tractor performance and status settings displayed on the dashboard. “The main difference using the Trimble terminal rather than a Fendt screen for guidance is that field maps can’t be transferred to the other two screens, but it’s not a problem.”

Immediately impressed After having the Fendt for 18 months, during which John drove it occasionally, the decision was taken to replace the farm’s other, 180hp tractor with a second Fendt. “Being older, it takes me a little longer to get used to new technology and I thought that

the Fendt was over-complicated at first,” John stressed. “However, with help from Tom we set up the tractor’s systems to suit our preferences and various tasks and then stored the operating profiles so that that they can be recalled and installed just by touching the screen. “Within a short time, I had found out that driving the Fendt was actually very easy and enjoyable. The ride comfort is incredible, and I suffer less from back ache. We liked the idea of having two identical tractors to avoid complications when swapping implements, so we consulted Paul Defew again and agreed a deal to buy another new 722 Vario Power+ which was in stock.” The only difference between the two tractors is the tyre sizes. Tom’s tractor is on 650/75R38 rears and 600/65R28 fronts and John’s is on 650/65R42 rears and 540/65R30 fronts. John does more road work as well as heavy cultivations and all the spraying – pulling a trailed 2,400-litre, 24m sprayer.

Diverse roles John and Tom agree that the compact size and light weight of the 722 Vario is a significant advantage. “For continued over…

Machinery spraying, the ballast is removed, we drop the tyre pressures right down, and it just tiptoes across the fields,” stressed John. “But with ballast added for heavy cultivations, it lifts and pulls our 2.8m He-Va five-leg, disc and tine cultivator so easily that we sometimes wonder if it is set to work deep enough in the ground. We rarely plough now, but it handles our 5f reversible and furrow press no problem. We also have a 5m Kuhn cultivator and recently purchased a mounted 5.6m Major Cyclone heavy-duty rotary mower to maintain 6m field margins within Countryside Stewardship schemes and for mulching cover crops, and the Fendt is ideal for that job too. For grain carting we use 14t and 16t trailers and the tractors feel stable and secure with loaded trailers behind at higher speeds on the road.”

system and its ease of use. Pulling heavy trailers out of road junctions, it just accelerates constantly through the speed range rather than pausing to find new gears. For manoeuvring around the yard and turning on headlands it’s extremely user-friendly and smooth, but the biggest benefits are for PTO work. I can set the engine revs to achieve the correct PTO speed, then control the travel speed independently. With the fertiliser spreader that’s a real benefit as we can slow down ahead of headland turns without dropping the revs and reducing the spread width, and it allows us to maintain the optimum fan speed on the drill at the headlands too. “It pulls well, including for heavy draft work, and the ability to maintain a constant speed in heavy working conditions means that we could easily upgrade our drill from 3m to a 6m model.”

Vario – efficient and versatile

No major areas of improvement

Fendt’s Vario CVT transmission has particularly impressed John. “Even when our first Fendt arrived, I still favoured the idea of mechanical powershift transmission, but I was quickly won over by the Fendt Vario

John and Tom agree that the Fendt tractors are proving ideal, and they have very few suggestions for improvements. “We could always do with extra cab storage space – especially for paperwork of which we

seem to have increasing amounts for record keeping,” said John. “We had to pay to add toolboxes to both tractors, to avoid having tools and linkage pins rattling around loose on the cab floor. However, for the cost of the tractors, I feel Fendt should include these as standard.” John said that he finds the seat occupancy sensor annoying. “Backing up to a trailer and leaning back to see the hitch means my weight on the seat is reduced and the alarm sounds,” he said. “It would be good to have an external mirror to view the hitch which would save leaning back so far, or a less sensitive seat switch could be added just to avoid the noise of the buzzer in that situation.”

Tractor and dealer create the best package “We never wanted to move away from the TNS Fakenham team with who we have such a loyal and long-standing relationship, so we were extremely pleased when the Fendt proved so good and that the cost compared to competitor brands was so reasonable,” confirmed John. “Having started off concerned that the Fendt would be over-complicated, I quickly got used to it and now count myself as quite

proficient. “Every time I use the Fendt I appreciate its quality – the way the doors shut and the absence of squeaks and rattles, the way the steering constantly self-centres on the road – everything about it is excellent. After using the previous brand tractors for more than 50 years on the farm, I believe we did the right thing changing to Fendt. The tractors are the ideal package – especially backed up by the team we rate so highly at TNS.” FG

Extra power increases appeal A protracted launch of New Holland’s latest T7 HD-series flagship, which commenced with a preview at Cereals in June, peaked at the German Agritechnica event this November when it was displayed to the European public for the first time. David Williams spent a few hours in the seat. The T7.340 HD with up to 340hp is an additional model in the T7 HD line-up, with 9% more torque than the current 313hp T7.315 HD flagship. The T7.315 HD will continue to be offered, as well as the smaller T7.290 HD with 288hp.

Upgraded engine The T7.340 HD has an FPT Industrial NEF 6 EcoBlue engine. This is like the other two T7 HD models, but for the T7.340 HD it has upgraded pistons and a new cylinder head to handle the extra power and torque, as well as a bigger cooling system with a fan specific to the application. A variable pitch, reversible fan is an option. New Holland’s Hi-eSCR2 SCR (AdBlue) emissions control system meets Stage 5 requirements while minimising AdBlue consumption.

Maximum productivity There is no difference between the rated and maximum power and torque figures. Unlike other models which offer extra power only at faster speeds and for specific applications, the new

T7.340 HD always has full power and torque available – regardless of the selected gear or whether the PTO or hydraulic systems are in use. A new electronic-controlled variable geometry turbocharger contributes to a very flat torque curve between 1,200–1,800rpm. Maximum power is from 1,700–2,100rpm. New Holland tractor product specialist, David Redman explained to Farmers Guide that the new engine doesn’t require customers to compromise on maintenance intervals, as it remains at 750 hours like the other HD models, and up to twice as long as some competitors.

Flexible, efficient transmission AutoCommand CVT 50kph transmission is standard. Four forward ranges and two reverse cover the full speed range without steps. The design includes multiple drive ratio points at which 100% mechanical drive is achieved. These are at the speed points most commonly used for

common applications including: heavy draught work, secondary cultivations, high-speed field work such as baling and mowing as well as for highspeed transport tasks. Although the transmission design is like that of the two less powerful models, the T7.340 HD has an upgraded unit to accommodate the extra power. A higher capacity hydrostatic unit provides more drawbar pull; the gears and bearings are uprated and there is a heavier-duty rear differential, and an upgraded PTO drive. Three programmable ranges can be set within the AutoCommand management system, for any speed from 0.5–56kph.

Capable hydraulics The hydraulic system is a Closed Centre Load Sensing type, with a variable displacement piston pump. Max flow is 165 litres/min (std) or 220 litres/min as an option. Up to five rear electronic remote spools can be fitted plus three mid-mount – all with flow control. An advanced configurable joystick hydraulic control is an option, and customisable remote configuration is standard. Powerbeyond hydraulic connections are standard. Maximum rear hydraulic lift capacity is 11,058kg at the ball ends and the optional front linkage lifts 6,016kg. The front lift is controlled using the CommandGrip multifunction joystick, the linkage mouse or the optional hydraulic joystick. Front spools, supplied from the mid-mount valve connectors, are available.

Quietest cab Introduced first on T7 LWB models, the latest T7 HD models have the Horizon

Ultra cab with PLM Intelligence. New Holland claims this is the quietest cab on the market with an operator noise level of 66db. Hydraulic cab suspension is semiactive with variable damping control. There are three comfort levels – auto, firm and soft. Automatic levelling and weight adjustment is standard, and the pitch adjusts to compensate during braking and acceleration. The new T7.340 HD comes with advanced connectivity and precision farming capability. Five years of telematics services are included as standard, and PLM Connect features include location, operating status and tractor condition monitoring, service information and alerts, and automatic wireless syncing of work and field data. The Intelliview 12 terminal also allows remote software updates and remote display access – making it easy to support less experienced users when set-up tweaks are needed. Isobus Class 3 and TIM (tractor control by implement) is an option.

Safety and efficiency For added transport safety, the new tractors come with Intelligent Trailer Brakes. This feature helps maximise tractor and trailer stability when the operator reduces speed using the CVT and engine braking alone. The trailer brakes are automatically and progressively activated to prevent overrun even without the tractor brakes being operated. Other driver-friendly features include CustomSteer, adjustablerate steering which can be added into the headland turn sequence, and Trailer Steering Lock which automatically locks self-steering trailer continued over…

Machinery South-West dealer view Long-established New Holland dealer, T H White serves agricultural customers across a large area of South-West England, from its network of 10 depots. Commercial director, T H White commercial James Ashworth said that the new T7.340 HD director, James Ashworth. is a welcome addition to the line-up. “Our customers are always looking for tractors capable of operating larger and wider equipment to cover ground more efficiently, and the latest New Holland also includes advanced technology to deliver the ultimate in connectivity including data transfer between the field and farm office. “This means that the T7.340 HD will appeal to many customer profiles across our trading area. Extremely versatile, it will cater for large arable operations but also meet the demands of large-scale contractors who not only offer tillage applications but are also engaged in slurry and digestate management. We expect considerable interest from root crop and salad growers too.” …from previous page

Essex contractor’s view Farmers Guide enjoyed an early testdrive of the T7.340 HD, baling straw with a New Holland 1290HD large square baler. This also provided an opportunity to try out New Holland’s exclusive Large Square Baler Mode. The software upgrade is available for latest T7 LWB and T7 HD tractors with Horizon Ultra cabs and PLM Intelligence controls. Activation is through the Intelliview 12 touchscreen

All three T7 HD models gain the latest Horizon Ultra Cab with the SideWinder Ultra armrest. Blackwater Baling operator, John Baker said the cab is quiet and extremely comfortable.

terminal, on the tractor settings display page. The mode is compatible with all New Holland BigBalers produced since 2018 carrying the latest software updates. The system works by predicting when each plunger stroke will occur. Additional fuel is injected to meet the momentary demand for extra power, just as the ram strikes the bale. This reduces engine speed variation and means that the PTO and baler transmission speed also remain more consistent. The Terraglide hydraulic front continued over…

The new T7.340 HD is likely to be a popular model for baling. Large Square Baler Mode is activated through the Intelliview 12 touchscreen, and significantly improves operator comfort while also saving fuel. …from previous page

axle suspension is also utilised by the system, and the cushioning action is stiffened momentarily to further reduce the nodding effect in time with each plunger compression stroke. New Holland claims that cab rocking is reduced by 15% and fuel use is reduced up to 12% through the baling cycle. Switching the mode on and off during baling, the difference in ride comfort was surprisingly noticeable.

Experienced user view The T7.340 HD tractor tested by Farmers Guide was a demonstrator on loan to Essex-based, Blackwater Baling. Owned and managed by Gavin Strathern and his wife Liz, Blackwater

JTE

Baling operates as a grass and straw baling contractor and bale supplier. Seven large square balers include BB920, BB1270, BB1290 BB9090 models, plus two recently acquired 1290 HD machines selected to produce extra dense bales for biomass. The balers and Transtacker bale chasers operate behind a fleet of tractors, most of which are New Holland T7 machines. “By specialising we can offer the most efficient service without being distracted by other tasks,” stressed Gavin. “New Holland machinery supplied by our local dealer, Ernest Doe, makes up the core of our tractor and baler fleet. There is no single reason for that – it’s because of the whole package, including the machines and the way they are backed-up by the dealer and the manufacturer.”

square baler. “It significantly improves comfort,” he said, “and it’s much easier to drink or eat without risking spillages caused by the baler’s rocking motion. Often, on steeper slopes it can feel as if a baler is pushing the back end of the tractor into a jack-knife with each plunger stroke, especially during tight turns, but with Baler Mode selected, that pushing action is reduced. The whole operation feels much more comfortable and controlled.”

Extra capabilities Gavin said that all the operators who tried the T7.340 HD were impressed.

“We have a superb team of full- and regular part-time operators who work long days during harvest, and we rely on them to provide great service for our customers. “Having tried the new T7.340 HD tractor with the suspended cab, even some of our team members who previously preferred another tractor brand for transport work have been converted, and say the latest New Holland is more comfortable. When we next update the tractors then we will take note of their views, and it’s likely that we will end up with an all-New Holland fleet.” FG

Added comfort, convenience and safety Operator, John Baker has extensive experience operating New Holland T7 tractors and balers having worked for Blackwater Baling for the past five years. He spent a week driving the demonstration T7.340 HD tractor as well as a new T7.300 LWB model, both with Big Baler Mode, working with the company’s newest 1290HD large

Machinery The new Horizon M:DSX direct disc drill was launched at Agritechnica last month, providing a cost-effective option for smaller arable and mixed farms.

New mounted direct drill provides costeffective option for smaller farms A mounted version of the Horizon DSX direct drill was launched at the German Agritechnica event last month, providing an additional and practical cost-effective option for those moving to reduced, or zero tillage crop establishment regimes. Manufactured in Lincolnshire alongside Horizon’s larger, trailed models, the mounted toolbar drill is branded the M:DSX and will be offered in 4.0, 4.8, 5.0, and 6.0m working widths, and with 25cm row spacing for the 2024 spring drilling season. A 22cm row spacing option will be offered for

autumn next year, and it is likely that a 3.0m drill will also join the line-up later. Horizon territory manager for North and North and East England, Sam Illingworth (pictured), explained that the M:DSX

row units offer all the features and benefits of those on current trailed DSX models, with the coulters attached to the main frame through a parallelogram mounting

system allowing 320mm of true vertical travel. This means that the 485mm, 10-degree undercut opener disc, depth wheel, seed boot and closing wheel all maintain their preset critical working angles throughout the full range of travel, unlike pivotmounted systems which travel in an arc. The DSX design gives class leading depth control, contour following, and consistent seed channel closing by the pneumatically controlled closing wheels.

Low power and weight requirement The row units are on a close coupled frame which enables smaller tractors from approximately 150hp to be paired with the widest 6m offering. Using a front hopper to supply the seed and fertiliser provides a very balanced, low weight machine which will appeal to those wanting all the benefits of the Horizon direct disc drill but who would have previously discounted them based on the perceived horsepower requirement. continued over…

Versatile hopper with flexible metering The M:DSX offers the same advantages as its bigger brother in terms of the range of products it can handle as well as flexibility of rates and sowing depths which makes it ideal for companion cropping or placement of granular fertiliser with the seed. The new drill is designed for use with Horizon’s own FT2200 front hopper, or an existing hopper when available. The FT2200 has 2,200-litres’ capacity, split 60:40 between two pressurised sections each with their own metering units controlled through RDS Isocan electronics.

The FT2200 is not restricted to use with the M:DSX. It can also be used for other applications including the Horizon PPX precision planter which offers granular fertiliser placement through the newly developed opener disc system.

Inter-row compatibility Being a mounted, single row machine also makes the M:DSX suitable for subsequent inter-row operations such as weeding or mowing. Not only does the drill offer class leading seed depth control, but because it is a linkage-mounted machine, sideways movement is minimal making following operations in-row far more accurate.

All the features, lower cost Sam said that he believes that the new mounted M:DSX will make the key features and benefits of the Horizon DSX row unit available to a new customer base, including those who are keen to move towards no-till disc drilling, but who would previously only

have been able to justify the cost of a second-hand trailed machine that might have seen better days. The M:DSX is available to order immediately through the Horizon dealer network for delivery early 2024, and is backed by the company’s standard 2-year warranty. FG

South-East England dealer view “Since we took on the range last year, we have quickly established a strong relationship with Horizon, and the company’s UK built and designed products are excellent quality and perform very well,” said Ernest Doe Power general sales manager, Ed Perry. “The company is young and dynamic with a very strong emphasis on cutting edge design, and we believe that the existing DSX drill is currently the best on the market. “The trailed DSX is competitively priced, but any big, trailed drill has a hefty price tag and I believe that the mounted M:DSX will allow many farmers who can’t justify a big, trailed drill to access this industry-leading drilling system for a significantly lower cost,” Ed continued. “The popular 25cm row spacing isn’t an option on all mounted direct drills launched recently by Horizon’s competitors, but we believe it offers significant advantages including the ability to adopt mechanical weeding techniques helping reduce dependence on chemicals and to farm more sustainably – something that is attracting more interest across our trading area.”

Demonstrations being booked Along with the Horizon trailed DSX drill, Ernest Doe and Ernest Doe Power will be running a mounted 6m M:DSX drill and PPX precision planter in the spring, explained Ed. All the Horizon products will be on display at the dealer’s annual Doe Show, 6–8th February, at Ulting.

BRD control should be re-evaluated on farm, research suggests The first specific vaccine for protecting cattle against respiratory coronavirus will soon be available to UK farmers, and follows recent research suggesting BCoV plays a bigger role in BRD than previously accepted. Sarah Kidby reports. BCoV is part of a family of viruses associated with both enteric and respiratory diseases in ruminants, and is transmitted by aerosol inhalation or the faecal-oral route. But while it is a well-established cause of neonatal calf diarrhoea, BCoV also increases the risk of BRD in calves when present in the respiratory tract, said Dr Paul Burr, vet and director of Biobest. Speaking during a press briefing for MSD Animal Health, Dr Burr said the UK has previously been sceptical about the importance of BCoV in BRD – but worldwide, it is considered part of the BRD complex.

A widespread issue Respiratory disease in UK calves is widespread – described as inevitable by some farmers – and comes at a high cost in terms of time, veterinary treatments and long-term profitability. The direct annual cost to the industry has been estimated at £100 million – though this figure is likely to be higher now. It also causes permanent damage to significant parts of the lung tissue, reduces calf growth rates and, in dairy cows, slows the time to first service. Respiratory disease is a classic iceberg disease and a critical area for the overuse of antibiotics. However, vaccination is under-used in the UK cattle sector, according to MSD research. It’s a multi-factorial disease, impacted by factors including:

• Pathogens: RSV, parainfluenza-3 virus (Pi3), • • •

IBR, coronavirus, mycoplasma; and Pasteurella, Mannheimia and Histophilus Environment: Optimal hygiene, minimal cold stress, good ventilation without drafts, and controlled moisture levels Nutrition: Colostrum management and intake, quality of concentrate and fibre; consistent and sufficient milk feeding regime; and free access to clean water Stress: Management practices, timing and separating of stressful events.

“Opening the door” to other pathogens BCoV is frequently isolated alongside other, more recognised calf respiratory disease pathogens such as BRSV, M. haemolytica, Pi-3 and M. bovis, suggesting an interplay between these organisms, Dr Burr said. “Research has shown that BCoV infection disturbs the protective mucus lining of the thoracic tract. It may therefore be that BCoV ‘opens the door’ for the other viral and bacterial pathogens to establish themselves and cause disease.” Recent research by MSD found BCoV was the most prevalent virus found in routine disease screening and nasal swab samples taken during BRD outbreaks. It was found in 39% of more than 400 nasal swab samples taken between 2020 and 2022, from BRD affected cattle on UK farms. It was less likely to be found as age increased, and more likely in the winter months. If BCoV was identified, it was more likely that Mycoplasma, Mannheimia and Pi3 would also be found. Additionally, calf serology carried out on 59

UK farms with a history of BRD issues in 20212022 revealed 91.5% tested positive for BCoV. Researchers have also tested boots, clothing stethoscopes and wristwatches etc, and found BCoV survived on these objects after 24 hours, suggesting it could be carried from farm to farm. Risk factors for BCoV, according to MSD research, included the purchase of colostrum – which could be due to the fact that calves given colostrum from their mother are protected from the specific pathogens on that farm – whereas those given bought-in colostrum are not. Other risk factors included recently purchasing cattle and M. bovis, which was a coinfective agent in 72% of outbreaks. Dr Kat BaxterSmith, veterinary adviser for MSD said: “Whilst the pathogenicity of BCoV within the BRD complex remains an unknown quantity, its ubiquitous presence in the UK cattle population – and the recent human experience of coronavirus as a significant respiratory pathogen – suggests a need for a reevaluation of BRD control by vets and farmers.”

New tool in the armoury For the first time, MSD has launched a vaccine that specifically protects cattle against respiratory coronavirus. Bovilis Nasalgen-C is an intranasal live vaccine that can be used for the active immunisation of calves from the day of birth onwards, to reduce clinical signs of upper respiratory tract disease and nasal viral shedding from infection with BCoV. “Just as coronavirus is a pathogen associated with the common cold and Covid-19, BCoV is a proven pathogen that directly impacts the calf respiratory tract. Consequently, the availability of this new BRD vaccine presents veterinary professionals with another tool in their armoury to improve control of this costly disease,” commented Dr Baxter-Smith. She recommends first carrying out diagnostics to identify whether BCoV is implicated in any BRD issues, and talk to your vet about factors such as hygiene and colostrum management, so any necessary adjustments can be made before implementing a vaccination programme. This will give the vaccine the greatest chance of success. The MSD Calf Health Checklist, available from the App Store, is a useful audit tool for farmers and vets. The vaccine, due to be available in the UK in late December/early January, is already in use in the EU and Ireland. A key benefit is the vaccine can be stored for up to 24 hours at room temperature after reconstitution. It can also be used on the same day (in the other nostril) as Bovilis INtranasal RSP Live, which offers protection against both bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) and Pi3. It can be used on the day of birth, with protection in place by five days after vaccination with a 12-week duration. Administered via a single 2ml intranasal dose it comes in one, five and 20-dose packs. It’s suitable for small and large herds and can be given to cattle using a syringe or applicator device. FG

Founding the herd

Native genetics suited to regenerative farm Mary Hamnett and Gordon Oliver, who breed Aberdeen Angus cattle in the Pennines, have a simple, shared vision – to help farmers reduce feed and labour costs and produce quality beef from grass. The couple have been breeding Aberdeen-Angus cattle for some four decades at Upper Waterside Farm nestled in the Goyt Valley of the Pennines and many of the breed’s descendants can be traced back to their herd. They believe the original native type of Aberdeen-Angus are ideally suited to regenerative, organic farms like their own. The pair run 40 breeding cattle on 212 acres of hill ground with cattle finished on a forage-only diet. Original population native Aberdeen-Angus were declassified from critically endangered to endangered by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust. They date back to the formation of the original AberdeenAngus in the first herd book. They have a smaller bone-to-meat ratio and have great depth of body which make them ideal foragers. “The native type of AberdeenAngus went out of fashion in the eighties and nineties because farmers were encouraged to produce bigger cattle for export to Europe and native cattle did not easily reach the minimum weight required,” Gorgon says. But the recent change in government direction towards “public goods”, as well as changing consumer buying habits favouring smaller cuts of beef, firmly places

native Aberdeen-Angus cattle back amongst the front runners of UK beef breeds, they believe.

Rebuilding a native herd Joining the Aberdeen-Angus Cattle Society in 1986, Mary and Gordon were unaware that there were very few pure natives with non-imported bloodlines left. Secretary Bob Anderson recognised the native Aberdeen-Angus were on the brink of extinction and wrote to breeders in the 90s, which alerted the couple to the fact that they had native bulls and native cows. As a result, the Rare Breeds Survival Trust (RBST) placed native Aberdeen-Angus on its critical watchlist, and a separate section herd book was started in 2002. “At that point, 51 females had been found in previous volumes dating from 1981–2001. Many of these were inactive or had been put to a non-original population bull. We were lucky to own 12 on that list. “There were only seven breeding females and three bulls registered in the 2002 herd book,” Mary says. The couple have worked tirelessly to preserve these bloodlines. In fact, half of their herd of 40 breeding cows currently comprises native Aberdeen-Angus with the others being phased out as they retire from production.

The native Aberdeen-Angus cattle at Upper Waterside were founded with genetics from the Boghall herd dispersal. Today, the herd is predominately descended from Rashiehall Cherry Bee E19, purchased at the sale alongside Evorela of Haymont. Evorela bred the bull, Evan of Champagne, which has been used extensively as a herd sire. In the 2000s, the bull Kingswood Eureka was purchased from Mike Spooner in Oxfordshire and later, four of his half-sisters were bought with their Eulima genetics still present today. Mary and Gordon admit breeding has been more challenging because of the small numbers with the bloodlines but are lucky to have a good bank of semen in their AI flask alongside semen sourced through the RBST to draw from. All the natives now in existence from the Cherry Bee families in the UK are decedents of their foundation cow, Cherry Bee E19, and in the last three years Mary and Gordon have sold 40 breeding females into Scotland and England to help establish further native Aberdeen-Angus herds.

Management of the herd One of the attractions of the breed is

undoubtedly its ability to thrive off grassland without concentrates, they believe. At Upper Waterside, cows and calves are turned out into three groups onto hill ground in April. Steers remain outdoors until finishing. The remaining stock is housed in November or December and calves weaned the following February to give the cows one month to recover before they calve again. Steers are finished off grass on higher ground by 30 months and typically grade R4L with cattle sold for a premium to Dovecote Park. Grassland is permanent pasture with no ploughing carried out since the Second World War and comprises of indigenous species of grass, plantain, and clovers. “Some fields contain over 100 different species,” says Gordon. Meadows are cut for hay during the summer to provide forage for the winter. Mary and Gordon’s aspirations are beginning to be realised with demand for the breed continuing to grow. Mary adds: “They make very good commercial cows. They are easy calving, low-input and are goodnatured and they are well-suited to farms in stewardship.” FG

The best start in life: How to protect your calves from illness

With calving season just around the corner, Hydor, part of Elta Group, highlights the importance of air ventilation to ensure a farm’s latest additions have everything they need to grow well and produce quality meat or milk. The first 20 weeks of a calf’s life can determine if it will be a high producer for the farmer or not. By inhaling damp air, young animals are at risk of developing conditions such as ‘sticky lung’ and pneumonia.

These illnesses can have long lasting impacts to the growth and development of a calf, causing them to not put on weight and result in the farmer needing veterinary assistance. With this being an added and unseen

expense, it reduces the overall profit margins that a farmer could expect from their cows. In a worst-case scenario, these illnesses can be fatal. Thankfully, this outcome can be alleviated with the addition of suitable housing and high-quality air ventilation, providing fresh clean air directly to the calf’s resting area. When in use, it is possible that exhaled bacteria will be ventilated away from the environment before it can infect another animal. As well as providing clean air into the environment, having a ventilation system that also can deliver a stream of cool air during the changing seasons can ensure that the animals remain comfortable during their early stages of life. Stuart Wilkieson, technical sales engineer at Hydor explained: “Providing farm buildings with clean fresh air can have so many health benefits for calves, such as increasing the likelihood that they will lie down and rest. When looking into air quality, the main factor to consider is the size of the area. There are three typical shed sizes: 60ft, 100ft and 135ft. Ultimately, the bigger the area, the bigger the fan needed to optimise air flow. Barns of a larger size could require multiple systems to ensure that the area is thoroughly ventilated.”

Adding additional buildings can be a large financial expense to a farmer with significant capital outlay required. Due to this, the government launched the Farming Equipment and Technology Fund 2023 (FETF 23) to help finance 40% of a newly constructed barn. With £31 million available for applications, there is available backing to make additional buildings a possibility. Stuart continued: “A simple investment into the health and happiness of your cows will have long term benefits and rewards with high quality products to sell to the consumer. By investing time into applying for the FETF, farmers can install new, modern buildings alongside an air ventilation system that decreases the need for extra veterinary care. “Illnesses like sticky lung and pneumonia can have long-lasting impacts on both cows and farmers, and we have the opportunity to safeguard against that. At Hydor, we have over 60 years of experience in livestock ventilation and are here to help farmers find the right solutions to keep their animals well looked after.” For more information about Hydor, please visit: https://hydor. co.uk/ FG

Preparing for lambing: Ewe management and reducing neonatal disease Farm vet Faye Heath, of Westpoint Farm Vets in Winchester, provides some top tips to ensure a successful lambing season. Since production of Spectam Scour Halt – the only authorised oral antibiotic product for controlling watery mouth – ceased last year, there is understandable concern about how to treat confirmed cases on farm. Watery mouth is an infectious overgrowth of E. coli in the gut and it is commonly seen in lambs which haven’t received enough colostrum. Targeted treatment may involve injectable antibiotics but only on a case-by-case basis for high-risk individuals, where a proactive health plan is in place and there are no

suitable alternatives. The importance of ewe nutrition, lambing hygiene and colostrum management cannot be overstated in the reduction of neonatal lamb disease, including watery mouth. Consider these factors now to ensure you’re prepared for the lambing period, when time is a precious commodity. Ewe nutrition and vaccination must be managed during the prelambing period. Condition score ewes at mid pregnancy and close to lambing time to assess nutrition provision and identify any issues

78-85 Livestock.indd 78

early. A score of 3-3.5 for lowland ewes is recommended six weeks pre-lambing. It may be necessary to put ewes into different groups where there is a large variation in body condition score. Metabolic profiling will also assess whether dietary energy, protein and mineral levels are appropriate and can be discussed with your vet along with forage analysis. This can aid in decisions on trace element boluses. As 75% of lamb growth occurs in the last six weeks of pregnancy, ewe nutrition must be considered both before and during the lambing period to ensure good birthweights and colostrum quality. Other considerations include providing enough trough space (50cm per ewe for concentrate) and clostridial vaccination boosters 4-6 weeks pre-lambing. As there were production issues with clostridial vaccines last year and continued supply issues, it is more important than ever to manage your vaccination plans well in advance. Maintaining good hygiene in the lambing shed will reduce both the bacterial load in the environment and the infection pressures on lambs. Further steps to consider before and during lambing include:

• Reducing stocking density • Ensuring adequate ventilation

and drainage in the lambing shed

• Bedding down regularly • Disinfecting pens, especially • • •

where there are cases of ill or aborted animals Wash hands between handling sick and healthy animals as well as aborted material Dip navels immediately after birth in iodine solution and repeat after 2-4 hours Provide heat lamps or shelter in colder weather as cold weak lambs will have a reduced colostrum intake.

As stressed by the AHDB, ‘colostrum is gold’ and planning is essential for colostrum management during lambing. Frozen colostrum from other ewes in the flock is preferred over powdered colostrum due to the variation in quality, which is equally important as quantity. Check ewe colostrum supply if in any doubt and ensure that lambs receive a minimum of 50ml/kg within two hours of birth as well as 200ml/kg in the first 24 hours. It is also important to supplement any animals with a difficult birth or where dams have an insufficient supply, via stomach tube. FG

Livestock The lambs that are at the greatest risk of getting hypothermia and hypoglycaemia include: • Lambs from ewes in poor condition • Lambs from very old or very young ewes • Twins and especially triplets • Small and premature lambs • Lambs which are limp or weak at birth.

Giving lambs a jump start

How to prevent hypothermia and hypoglycaemia in young lambs Starvation, hypothermia, and hypoglycaemia are amongst the highest causes of mortality in newborn lambs. Vet and veterinary pharmacologist Dr TB Barragry offers some advice… blood sugar, often accompanies From birth to six hours of age, the hypothermia in newborn lambs wet newborn lamb loses heat very because they have not ingested rapidly and can quickly become hypothermic. This is more likely to colostrum, occur in cold, wet, or windy conditions. Adequate Exposure/ colostrum and brown fat (a Starvation type of fat that the lamb is 30% born with) help the lamb through this period by increasing heat production. From six hours to three days after birth, starvation leads to a drop in heat production and the lamb becomes hypothermic. This can happen even in warm, sunny weather. All the lamb’s brown Abortion/ fat has been used by this time Stillbirth and it needs an adequate, good 40% quality colostrum intake to stay warm.

Thus, temperatures. good quality colostrum is of critical Difficult or premature births can importance. In addition, lambs cause weak lambs which contributes are born with low levels of crucial to hypothermia, because these vitamins, especially vitamins E and lambs do not get up and nurse warm A – which, similar to antibodies, do colostrum as readily. Poor mothering not cross the placenta into the foetal can also lead to hypothermia if a ewe lamb. fails to thoroughly lick her lambs dry In an attempt to maintain or if she abandons a lamb. If the ewe temperature and to survive, the lamb has poor body condition and there may shiver and undergo multiple was a lack of adequate nutrition smooth muscle contractions.

Provita Jump Start is specially designed and formulated to prevent and treat hypothermia/ hypoglycaemia in new lambs. It contains high levels of badly needed glucose and energy as well as fast and prolonged acting precursors of blood glucose such as propylene glycol. These act together to immediately boost the newborn lamb’s blood sugar and energy levels, and to prevent collapse from hypothermia and hypoglycaemia. In addition, Jump Start contains high levels of unique IGY antibodies which Disease help to combat E. 20% coli infection. It

supplies high quantities of selenium and vitamin E to stimulate the immune system, together with cobalt and vitamin B12 which accelerate the formation of greater numbers of red blood cells. This increased blood cell count ensures maximal oxygenation of vital tissues and organs and increased vigour and vitality in the young lamb. Jump Start has been clearly demonstrated under field conditions to be a unique product for preventing and treating hypothermia/hypoglycaemia in young lambs.

Tackling E. coli and immunity Provita Lamb Response is a beneficial bacteria based oral formulation which acts preventatively to augment the gut commensal population of the newborn lamb with protective bacteria, thereby generating gut health, and helping to prevent the establishment of E. coli by boosting local immunity. Lamb Response contains a combination of four highly effective and unique ingredients, not present in other commercial products: • Beneficial bacteria: This naturally diminishes E. coli bacteria, enhances immunity, and ‘seals’ the newborn gut. It contains a potent strain of live organisms, which is one of the primary active ingredients of the first, EU-licensed probiotics (Provita Protect POM-VPS), which is clinically proven to prevent scour and has antibacterial activity against E. coli. This ultra-fast replicating beneficial bacteria will seed the gut expanding the young lamb’s gut microbiome, which is the basis of the overall immunity. In addition, tight junctions in the gut will be sealed, crowding out and neutralising E. coli pathogens preventing their establishment within the lamb. • Egg powder: This provides high concentrations of unique IgY proteins which are more potent against E. coli than usual colostral antibodies. These IgY antibodies have a higher binding affinity for E. coli antigens than do conventional colostral antibodies. Thus, the combination of beneficial bacteria plus IGY proteins provides a powerful immediate protection against E. coli, which has been established in scientific literature. • Vitamins: Lamb Response contains high levels of vitamins necessary for the young animal’s metabolism and supplies especially vitamin E, which stimulates the lymphocytes in the underdeveloped immune system, thus adding a further layer of protection. • High energy: Lastly, it supplies high energy to stimulate appetite, help prevent hypothermia (a very common fatality factor in young lambs) and to stimulate blood flow through vital organs.

Livestock lambs so they use antibodies for passive transfer and then fill the rest of their requirements with a colostrum supplement,” she advises.

Feeding frozen ewe colostrum

Colostrum supplementation quality and delivery matters at lambing time Colostrum is critical to the short and long-term health of lambs. Nettex provides a guide on how to supplement both ewe and powdered colostrum. Ms Hall. Because a ewe’s immune system will be producing antibodies against the pathogens present on the farm, her colostrum will be full of the required antibodies a lamb needs to be protected from those same pathogens. Colostrum also provides lambs with a rich energy source to maintain their body temperature and bodily functions. Inside the ewe, it is warm and everything is provided for them. Once born, they have to maintain their own body reserves and colostrum will help them do this. According to Ms Hall, the majority of lamb deaths within the first 48 hours of life – which make

Thick, yellow and creamy, maternal colostrum is high in energy and protein to give newborn lambs a metabolic and immunity boost. According to sheep farmer and product manager for Nettex, Emily Hall, the proteins in maternal colostrum include immunoglobulins, or antibodies. The most important is IgG, which circulates in the blood to protect against and fight off bacteria and viruses. “Lambs have no circulating antibodies in their body when they are born. After the ingestion of sufficient quality and quantity of maternal colostrum, the level of antibodies circulating and the lamb’s immunity increases significantly. This is called passive immunity,” explains

up 49% of total lamb deaths – are a result of inadequate colostrum consumption. This is due to a lack of energy leading to hypothermia.

Using colostrum supplements “Supplementation will almost certainly be required at some point over the lambing period, be that in the form of other ewes that have lambed at the same time or in the form of a replacer,” says Ms Hall. While it is very common in triplet lambs, a study found 30% of twin bearing ewes and 10% of singles do not produce enough colostrum. If maternal colostrum feeding has also been delayed, greater amounts will be required to ensure lambs absorb enough IgGs for passive immunity transfer. “Where we see a huge demand for colostrum supplementation is when cold weather hits,” she adds. “It is vital lambs receive enough colostrum to have the energy to reduce the risk of hypothermia.” When supplementation is required, Ms Hall recommends feeding as much maternal colostrum as possible to give lambs pathogen fighting antibodies and topping up with a high quality, full fat colostrum supplement for energy. “If you have multiples and are short on maternal colostrum, split the ewe’s colostrum between the

Because of the immunity value on-farm produced antibodies give lambs, always opt for maternal colostrum from the flock when possible. “Whenever a ewe has a surplus of colostrum that meets quality requirements, with a Brix refractometer reading of at least 26.5%, freeze the excess in a flat freezer bag immediately after harvesting. Bacteria rapidly multiply in colostrum due to the high fat content so a high level of care needs to be taken for hygiene measures. Date and label the bag with the ewe number for records,” says Ms Hall. When the time comes to use the frozen colostrum, it must be thawed gently in warm water. High temperatures and microwaving will destroy the antibodies.

Feeding a colostrum powder Since it is uncommon for farms to have an adequate supply of high-quality ewe colostrum on hand for supplementation, Ms Hall recommends farmers have colostrum powder on hand. “There are a lot of colostrum powders on the market that are going to vary in quality and source. Look for a colostrum supplement that closely mimics the ewe’s colostrum such as Nettex Ultra Concentrate Colostrum that has added ewe milk and egg proteins,” she says. Colostrum powders should be full fat, contain vitamins and minerals, and be certified free from TB, Johnes and EBL. To be complementary to UK farms, look for colostrum that is developed from UK farms. If a lamb has received very little maternal colostrum, then supplement it with a higher rate of colostrum powder of around 50g. If it has received some ewe colostrum, this rate can be pulled back to 25g, advises Ms Hall. “Whether lambs can get all of their colostrum from the ewe or if you are needing to supplement, it is essential for the short and longterm health of the lamb to ensure it is receiving adequate amounts of the right quality,” concludes Ms Hall.

to tackle heat stress as Q&A: How weather extremes increase As weather becomes increasingly unpredictable, we spoke to Gary Walker, sales director at Dalton Engineering Ltd, about the implications of heat stress, and some practical steps to help protect your herds.

As extreme weather becomes more common, how can farmers guard against heat stress? A: Solutions include ensuring

What are the implications of poor ventilation? A: At the following Temperature and Humidity Index (THI) readings, cow health and productivity is impacted: • THI 52 and greater results in

What are some of the signs to look out for that improvements need to be made? A: Heat stressed cows stand for up to two additional hours a day, increasing the risk of lameness. Pockets of poor air quality, heat buildup or a fly problem can cause cows to migrate to other areas of a building, even if that means increasing standing times. Visually heat stressed cows drink more water, sweat, pant and increase saliva production, which can result in a loss of moisture and potentially reduced rumen pH.

What are some of the most common building flaws? A: A lack of fresh air movement at cow level. Air exchange rates and airspeeds need to be appropriate to THI readings. Measuring airspeeds in the lying space and measuring air quality can provide evidence to support making changes. The cows will be telling you that anyway.

Can you talk us through some of the products you offer and the benefits? A: Dalton Engineering supplies fans and their appropriate control systems. Inlet, circulation and exhaust fans are all readily available, as is the knowledge of how and where to use them.

Maize variety choice made easy

This autumn has seen the launch of a new Seed2FEED initiative promoting the optimisation of your homegrown feed with Boost Hybrids, reports Andrew Cook of seed breeder, KWS. The Boost Hybrid system is designed to simplify varietal choice for growers, dividing varieties into EnergyBoost and SiloBoost categories, and this is only applied to our newly listed varieties once

national listing is completed. “Maize growers generally prioritise either energy yield or dry matter yield,” says Mr Cook. “As the name implies, our EnergyBoost varieties are focused on high energy

concentration, while the emphasis is on high dry matter yield in varieties in the SiloBoost category. “The exceptional energy content potential of Energy Boost varieties means they are ideal for livestock producers who add maize to total mixed rations with a high percentage of grass silage, or who are using maize to lift the energy content of a grass-based diet. They can help to improve the milk from homegrown forage performance figures for farm businesses. “Meanwhile, SiloBoost varieties will benefit systems where the main aim is to maximise maize silage production for the biogas market, or where maize is added to livestock total mixed rations at a high inclusion rate.” One of KWS’ flagship EnergyBoost varieties is KWS Leto (FAO 160), an ultra-early with a tremendous starch content figure of 39.2%, he says. “KWS Leto has a lot to offer, because it also has excellent yield potential at an average 17.8t/ha dry matter. It will enhance animal performance and it is also suitable for areas with a short growing season, and/or where an

early harvest is essential, with superb early vigour.” Another example of an EnergyBoost variety is the highly flexible KWS Temprano, an ultra-early (FAO 150) for early or late drilling, helping to keep harvest dates on track and suitable for less favourable sites. KWS Temprano has enormous starch potential at 38.9%, as well as similar yield performance to KWS Leto, says Mr Cook. “In the SiloBoost category, we have the dual-use Papageno (FAO 190). The early/maincrop variety is popular among biogas growers and can help to spread the harvest window. It also has a place in silage or grain production, with an average yield of 19.1t/ha dry matter and starch at 32%. SiloBoost varieties maximise dry matter yields on farms which grow maize for anaerobic digestion, or on dairy units which include high levels of maize in the total mixed ration.” Another free aide to help growers with maize variety selection is the recently-published KWS 2024 Maize Variety Portfolio, adds Mr Cook. Available for download at www. kws-uk.com, it separates varieties according to FAO (maturity rating), with infographics to indicate end use suitability. FG

Muck & Slurry Bomech trailing shoe applicator.

New slurry machinery ranges from UK importer J Riley Beet Harvesters (UK) Ltd, known to many as the UK importer of Vervaet machinery, has vastly expanded its slurry machinery portfolio with the addition of Bomech, Vogelsang, Kumm-Technik, TBL and Evers products. To handle sales of these new lines, Rileys welcomes Sion Williams as sales director for slurry equipment. Additional service will be provided from a new sub-depot which is being opened near Shrewsbury. “With this new line-up we are offering the best products on the market from premium-quality manufacturers backed-up by Rileys’ first class after-sales support,” explains managing director, Matt Carse. “We have historically sold our self-propelled machines complete with an applicator, so this development is the logical progression to expand and secure this part of the business. We wanted to supply our customers with the

best equipment on the market to transport, handle and apply slurry and digestate,” he added. The new range complements the highly-successful Vervaet selfpropelled slurry applicator lineup which has been achieving everincreasing sales success in the UK. Dutch manufacturer Bomech has over 25 years of experience making trailing shoe slurry applicators and offers an extremely comprehensive range in widths from 7.5m–30m suitable for mounting on trailed slurry tankers, self-propelled machines and directly onto the tractor linkage. Those requiring a high-quality disc injector can chose from the TBL lineup, also from the Netherlands,

which includes models in widths from 9m–15m. Rileys will also become a primary UK dealer for Vogelsang, handling sales of booms in widths of 12m and above. Evers Agro makes a range of cultivation machinery including the Vari-Disc short disc harrow which is well-known in Britain. The company produces a variety of slurry application tools including cultivator, disc harrow and strip-till injectors which will be marketed by Rileys. Trailed twin- and tri-axle tankers from Kumm-Technik will be available in sizes from 16,500-litres through to 31,000-litres as well as a range of high-capacity road-going transport tankers. FG

Comprehensive choice of muck and slurry machinery

When it comes to comes to the handling of muck and slurry, HiSpec Engineering says it has the ideal solution in its comprehensive range of machinery. The HiSpec tanker range includes a wide range of models with capacities from 3,600–22,700 litres, all available with numerous filling and other options, allowing you to tailor tankers to your specific needs. All HiSpec vacuum tankers are manufactured using high-quality British steel and incorporate internal

implosion rings and a collared dished end as standard to ensure the strongest possible construction. All tanks are fully supported by the complete chassis frame and models are available with both standard or stepped recessed axles. The recessed axle lowers the centre of gravity, which not only improves stability

both on the road and on undulating ground. Options include a wide range of filling options, including highcapacity pumps and a cab operated filling arm. The intake system can also incorporate a Vogelsang Rotacut 5000 chopping unit to avoid any potential blockage to the injectors caused by straw or silage in the slurry. A large choice of spreading attachments is available, including the HiSpec Trailing Shoe, available in working widths of 6.0, 7.5, 9.0 and 10.5m. The HiSpec trailing shoe can also be used as a dribble bar if needed without any contact with the ground. The range of spreaders from HiSpec Engineering include both the rear discharge Xcel 1250 spreader and two side discharge machines. The HiSpec Xcel 1250 is unique in that it uses a rotary chain and flail system to achieve a good break up of material, which is then spread using a pair of spinning discs. The shredding rotor carries 22 heavy duty chains, which in turn carry 12mm Hardox flail heads, mounted under a 4mm Hardox hood, that

shred all the material to an even consistency and ensure no lumps are deposited onto the spreading rotors. An adjustment plate on the shredding rotor hood, evenly places the manure onto the spreading discs to ensure an even spread. The Xcel 1250 has a capacity of 12t and can evenly spread material up to 24m. The material to be spread is moved rearward by a single slat marine grade floor chain, driven by a hydraulic motor with overload protection and variable speed adjustment. Two HiSpec side discharge spreaders are available – the 8m3 SS800 and the 10m3 SS1000. As with the tankers, HiSpec manure spreaders are built using heavy-duty 5mm thick British steel and feature a 3mm lid. Standard specification includes a ring hitch, hydraulic braking and LED road lights, while the SS1000 also incorporates centralised greasing. Further information on the HiSpec range of muck and slurry spreaders and the range of options available can be found at www.hispec.net/ slurry-tanker/ FG

Rear discharge spreader particularly suited to farmyard manure

New reeler system to be launched at LAMMA Wox Agri Services says it is excited to launch its new Scorpion ‘drop-in bobbin’ reeler system at the LAMMA event in January 2024. This new addition to the Wox Drag Hose slurry handling range is a mounted reeler unit with a patented ‘pincer’ action allowing bobbins to be quickly and safely dropped in and out of the holding frame. The reeler has an automatic ‘lock in’ mechanism so does not require any pins or locks to be used in the field, and the reeler unit has a capacity of up to 1,000m of 6in pipe. A robust, reinforced drive line provides approximately 25% more pulling power than the standard Wox Tempest mounted reeler, but is not compromised in

reeling in and out speed. The framework is fully galvanised whilst the bobbins have a red painted finish. As with the Wox Tempest mounted reelers, the framework has pipe bash bars and full road lighting. Operation requires two double-acting spool valves and a free flow return. FG

Built to a high specification and capable of achieving spread widths of up to 12m (40ft), the West Rear Discharge unit from Harry West (Prees) Ltd is particularly suited for farmyard manure. Fitted with the optional hydraulic rear door, it can also be used with poultry muck and semi-solids. The twin rear vertical beaters operate at a powerful 400rpm from the PTO input drive of 1,000rpm. For trouble free maintenance the rear beaters are fitted with replaceable blades, and features a protected twopiece drive-line with a wide-angle PTO c/w slip clutch. The rear discharge machine has large diameter tyres – 580/70R38 – to

minimise any ground pressure and is fully equipped for road use with standard hydraulic brakes, hand brake and lighting. The wide mouthed design of the main body allows for easier loading with modern telehandlers and larger buckets. The introduction of body extensions alters the model number to reflect the increased load capacity. Additional options are available for these machines, including electric in-cab controls for the speed control of the bed chains, mudguards and weighing systems/GPS. Six different models are available in the West Maelstrom Rear Discharge line up ranging from 8–18m3. FG

Weigh cells increase accuracy on spreader range

Ben Johnson, UK and Ireland sales manager at GT Bunning & Sons, says using weigh cells via Isobus on Bunning spreaders allows users to accurately measure every tonne that passes through and adjust target application rates during operation. “Weigh cells allow the operator to enter a target rate into the controller, which the spreader will then achieve by controlling the floor speed in relation to the tractor’s forward speed, which means every tonne is

applied at the correct rate.” Operators can see ‘live’ weighing readouts offering further insight to help manage logistics of fill ups in the field and limit the number of empty runs, to help reduce soil compaction. Weigh cells can be a factory-fitted option on all Bunning spreaders and support with setting up and maintaining the technology is handled in-house. “Weigh cells are available on our full range of machines from 6t Twin Vertical Auger spreaders to 38t tri-axle Horizontal Beater and Disc machines. This technology has benefits to every user, regardless of spreader size or output, as it allows detailed recording of every load and full control over application rates in every field.” Isobus ECU on the spreader allows integration with any compatible Isobus screen on the market. Two further screen options – Topcon XD and XD+ – offer the option to integrate with third party systems to display guidance, precision farming and variable rate application from prescription maps. FG

New additions to second round of slurry grants As applications open for the second round of the Slurry Infrastructure Grant, Defra has announced a series of new additions to the scheme, based on feedback. Grants of between £25,000 and £250,000 are available to improve slurry storage to go beyond the legal minimums. The grant is only available for slurry stores located in England. Based on feedback from the previous round, five changes have been made to the scheme: • Cattle farmers will still be offered funding for six months’ slurry storage, but pig farms will now be funded for up to eight months’ storage. • A grant is available towards a slurry separator as part of projects to increase storage capacity. The grant will

contribute towards a screw or screen press separator unit, gantry and temporary storage of stackable materials • It will support covering for existing stores that are fit-forpurpose with impermeable covers • An option has been added to build in-situ cast concrete stores as an alternative to circular and panel stores, lagoons and bags • An option is being introduced for landlords to underwrite grant funding agreements, giving tenants more confidence to apply. Applications open in November. You must use the AHDB’s latest version of Slurry Wizard (October 2023 or later) to work out how much slurry storage you need to reach the scheme requirements. FG

Modular slurry tanker is a best-seller Joskin’s best-selling slurry tanker, the Modulo2, has over 750 options available and is suited to farms of all sizes. Compact, modular and comfortable to drive, the tanker has proved popular around the world. Joskin’s Modulo2 has proved highly popular, with several thousand machines in use around the world, providing quality service for decades. Joskin believes the secret to its success is its modular nature. Purchased by farms of all sizes, the Modulo2 slurry tanker – Joskin’s bestselling tanker – has multiple functions and is available in capacities ranging

from 2,500 to 20,000 litres, and with a single or double axle, Joskin explains. The components on this fully galvanised machine make it a compact slurry tanker that is comfortable to drive, starting with the V-shaped drawbar with crosssuspension that fully protects the vacuum pump from accidental contact with the tractor’s wheels, the

manufacturer reckons. Regarding the running gear, both the single and double axles (which will be fitted with the Roll-Over bogie) are bolted to the galvanised chassis. This allows the running gear to be moved if you wish to add a rear implement (boom or injector), for a perfect machine balance. Above all, the Modulo2 is modular,

with over 750 options available. To make things easier, Joskin has developed the Advantage series to prove that it is possible to produce series of quality, well-equipped machines without impacting the price. For the UK, for instance, the company offers an Advantage series made up of a single-axle 11,000-litre Modulo2 equipped with a 7.5m Pendislide Basic (trailing shoe boom). This lightweight implement is equipped with skids which exert continuous pressure on the soil, while keeping vegetation at bay, to convey slurry as close as possible to the roots and thus provide quality work.

Customised and compliant Slurry handling systems are a major investment of time and resources, therefore it’s important to ensure they have the strength and stamina for the task. “Our machines are built to last, so we make every effort to design and use premium components to increase product lifespan,” says James Cox, of Heysham-based Major Equipment Ltd. He adds that Major tankers stand out due to their design and build:

“All our tankers have a separate chassis supporting the barrel, unlike other tankers where the tank and chassis are one unit. This means 80% of the weight is carried on the tanker’s axle and the remainder is carried on the tractor drawbar. This design prevents cracking from the

stress of pulling heavy loads and for longer distances.” Major offers four classes of tankers – Agri, Contractor, Alpine and Tandem – for specific use or requirement. All barrels are produced from 6mm steel and fitted with road safety features for easier

towing and smoother journeys. A galvanised finish comes as standard with painted coating as an option. Using low emissions slurry spreaders significantly reduces ammonia emissions, improves grass yields, and allows stock to return back to the land more quickly. Major has three options for precision slurry application: The 7.5m Dribble Bar and 7.5m Trailing Shoe applicators can be easily retrofitted onto any tanker make or model. Both units use the Vogelsang macerator to distribute slurry evenly and consistently through 30 outlets. They are hot-dipped galvanised for extra protection against corrosion. Major also makes larger 10m and 12.5m factory-fitted dribble bar options. The Disc Injector or shallow injection system is the best method of returning nitrogen back to the soil. The Major 5.2m Disc Injector combines soil fertilising and furrowing with a working depth from 20mm to 60mm. It works best on short grass swards, placing slurry 5–6cm below the surface, Mr Cox explains. For more information, visit www.major-equipment.com FG

Specialising in bespoke tanks and muck spreading options Conor Engineering manufactures high-quality slurry tanks ranging in size from 1,100–6,000 gallons. The business specialises in making bespoke tanks and, with over 200 optional extras, 32 different models to choose from and 44 different wheel options, Conor says anything the customer requires can be made. The Conor recessed tandem axle tank has gained a reputation for being one of the best-designed tandem tanks available, the company says. Its design is unique in that its centre of gravity is much lower than the majority of its competitors. It is built on a tandem suspension with parabolic springs and is extremely stable and safer at high speed and on hilly ground. Conor also offers a wide range of dribble bars and trailing shoes ranging in size from 6.4–18m.

Conor also recently launched its Farmpro dribble bar, which can be retrofitted to a farmer’s existing tank without having to do any welding to the tank. The cost savings on fertiliser and the environmental benefits of using a trailing shoe or dribble bar have been well documented through independent research and testing. Another product range manufactured by Conor is its rear discharge muck spreaders, and the company explains that its Conor muck spreader was designed with the contractor in mind – as standard it is fitted with 15mm hardox tips and the base of the beater is made from 15mm plate. It is a very well kittedout machine, with important equipment such as a wide angle PTO and torque clutch included as standard. FG

New pump solves sand-laden slurry headache at dairy farm A dairy farm in Cheshire that was having trouble handling sand-laden slurry, has solved the problem with a new pump and help in the set-up of its reception pit. Woodhey Hall Farm, which has 1,250 cows, was being forced to fix its slurry pump every week, as proprietor Paul Robinson explains: “The seals on the pump kept failing, so it was taking up way too much time for us with repairs and maintenance. In theory, it was a perfectly good pump for ‘slurry’,

but we soon saw that for sand-laden slurry, it’s a totally different story. You need a much sturdier pump, and the right set-up.” To try to find the right solution for pumping the slurry from the reception pit up to the separator, Mr Robinson spoke to Landia. He added:

“Sand-bedding definitely has its health advantages for our cows: Less lameness, less need for antibiotics, and in general, less dust, but you need to engage with a company that has the right kit and a proper understanding of how to handle what is a difficult, abrasive slurry.”

Landia worked closely with Woodhey Hall Farm to emphasise the need to keep the sand-laden slurry moving as quickly as possible and whilst as fresh as possible. Paul Davies from Landia commented: “When a reception pit is too large, and the sand-laden slurry too spread out, a pump can easily become overwhelmed because the second stage of the process becomes far too heavy with sand. It becomes almost as if trying to pump sandpaper, which not surprisingly, is very damaging to the pump. “To make the system as efficient as possible, we installed our pump vertically, so as to minimise the contact made between the sand and the pump, though for sand applications, we always supply our units with hardened components. The need for spare parts is inevitable in this application, but it is possible to minimise wear and protect against abrasion for as long as possible.” Mr Robinson, continued: “The Landia pump just hasn’t stopped since its installation – and we know we can call on them for advice if we need it, so it is good to have back-up. We’ve made significant savings, and overall, everything is much easier to handle.” FG

Get ready for spreading season ahead of time With the spreading season around the corner, farmers are encouraged to check if their spreading equipment is as effective as it can be. As well as being a foremost manufacturer of dribble bars ranging from 7.5m right up to 36m, Vogelsang claims to be the market leader of distributors for dribble bars and trailing shoes. Vogelsang’s ExaCut precision distributor has an “unbeatable” distribution accuracy of 99%, the company says, making it the “number one distributor worldwide” (according to the DLG test

report 7030). Available as an ECQ or ECL model, the ExaCut has centrally positioned distributor pipes and optimal hose routing which ensure that when spreading starts, only a few seconds pass before the liquid manure is discharged at each outlet. Vogelsang agricultural manager Liam Rayner, said: “The ExaCut is one of the most sought-after products in

our agriculture range. It is the heart of all spreading systems, ensuring the liquid manure is finely cut and spread through the dribble bar hose system evenly.” The ExaCut has a high cutting force thanks to the ‘keep-in-touch’ principle: the cutting blade is prevented from lifting off the cutting screen, even when the slurry is particularly coarse. Due to this finely

cut liquid manure, the spreading capacity is increased by 30%. “Farmers are well-advised to add a distributor to their spreading system ahead of the next spreading season,” added Liam. “Tens of thousands of farmers worldwide trust Vogelsang’s ExaCut to help them spread accurately and effectively. Any farmer interested is encouraged to get in touch ahead of the season beginning.” FG

EFFECTIVE SPREADING SYSTEMS Flexible, reliable and easy to maintain: As a pioneer in agricultural technology, Vogelsang leads the way in environmental friendly spreading equipment. The dribble bar systems combined with the ExaCut distributor give the highest application of liquid manure nutrients. Dribble bars are available in working widths of 7.5m right up to 36m and are retrofit-friendly.

Farmers should make use of grants ahead of impending legislation.

Capitalise on slurry grants With uncertainty over what government help will be available in 2024, making use of existing slurry grants to improve storage, management and to cover slurry is being advocated by industry specialist Tramspread. The government wants all slurry covered by 2027 to lower agricultural emissions, and there are some generous grants being offered now. The Slurry Infrastructure Grant and the Farming Equipment and Technology Fund (FETF) currently

offer money towards storage, mixers and separators which are all vital to managing slurry effectively. Grants aimed at extending storage to six months, based on livestock numbers, and further grants to cover, mix and separate slurry are

currently available with up to 50% of the cost being offered. Mixing will keep slurry homogeneous whilst separation can remove up to 25% of solids. Together this will reduce the amount of storage needed and enable slurry to be pumped longer

distance more efficiently. The Slurry Infrastructure Grant only applies to farms with pigs, beef or dairy cattle. It includes contributions to lagoons, steel, concrete and bag tanks. It will also contribute to covering storage that has been extended or newly installed. This can be with floating or fixed covers. Bag tanks are an economical and easy way to expand slurry storage. To qualify for grant funding a bag tank must hold at least 2,500m3. A significant benefit is that bag tanks can be located almost anywhere and rarely require planning permission. For farms expanding storage to meet the six-month target, a floating cover like Hexacover is a costeffective way to meet the impending 2027 legislation, Tramspread says. A further round of grants is planned for 2023 and potentially another in 2024. However, there is uncertainty about how livestock farming is going to be supported beyond this so Tramspread is advising customers to act now, make the most of the grants available, and make better use of slurry today, rather than wait to see what might happen next year.

Do you need additional slurry storage, or have environmental issues? If you need more storage for liquids like slurry then the Serena pillow bag offers the easiest and most cost-effective solution, says PFC Ltd. The 600m3 Serena bag is designed to last more than 20 years plus – although Andrew Snell of PFC explains that PFC has provided the bags for use in the Tunisian desert under extreme UV pressure where they have remained in use for nearly 50 years.

With no planning permission required due to it being temporary storage, installation is simple and just requires a flat area to site the bag. Andrew comments: “I would always recommend a bunded site, which can be soil from the area as it is levelled. We all hope to not

experience vandalism, but the bund acts as an insurance policy against malicious attacks, such as the tap being opened. Bunding the site provides environmental protection in case of such incidents.” The bag will handle slurry from

straw, paper and sawdust bedding, with sand being the only option not suitable. There is no crusting during storage so mixing before using the product is not required. “For longer term storage, there may be some settling of the product so we would recommend mixing the bag every three months,” comments Andrew. The bag comes with one outlet as standard from 3–8in options. Additional fittings can be added to suit your needs, including an option for stirring the bag. On this topic, Andrew adds: “The easiest way to stir the bag is to have an outlet on each of the front corners and using an umbilical pump suck out and pump directly back in to circulate the bag. “The bags offer a simple and effective way to meet your environmental storage requirements that are cost effective and flexible in location choice. Why wait until your current storage is about to overflow and panic about the consequences of the damage and possible fines for noncompliance to the clean water code? Prevention is better than the cure, and this saying certainly rings true for your slurry waste system.” FG 98566

SDS spreaders prove their strength on hire fleet Few farm machines have it tougher than side-discharge muck spreaders, with objects from bricks to baler twine occasionally finding their way into semi-solid manure. Add the challenges of going out to multiple different users for many different uses, and the Richard Western SDS machines operated by SW Hire don’t have it easy. Choosing a design for its robustness as much as its spread quality was therefore essential when selecting machines for his fleet, said SW Hire managing director Simon Williams. “We’d run Richard Western trailers and rear-discharge muck spreaders for some time, being very pleased with their build quality and robustness, so when wanting to add sidedischarge tank spreaders to our hire fleet we looked to the same supplier,” he explained. “I did consider alternatives, but the Richard Western SDS design seemed more modern, with its 1.5m-diameter spread rotor and heavy-duty central auger with paddles spaced to prevent load bridging and keep the spreading

Since then, the company’s fleet has grown to 15 machines across its Wiltshire and East Sussex depots. All are 9,000-litre versions on twin axles, the mid-size models in the 6,000–13,500-litre range. “They provide the best combination of flotation and manoeuvrability for our customers,” Simon commented. “Every hire machine is checked and serviced in our workshops when returned, and we find the SDS spreaders’ strength and design means they require very little additional attention.” FG

Farm Planning & Maintenance review a business. Aimed particularly at agricultural dealerships, alldepartment training is a strong part of our product offering to the dealer sector. “Whilst our business has skills in many areas of farming and farm machinery, there are always areas that require further knowledge and experience, and for this we draw on the expertise of a key group of associates.”

Consultancy offers scope to identify savings Consultants can help identify scope for efficiencies, opportunities to reduce costs, and ideas to boost income. Paul Harrison, of Paul Harrison Agricultural Consultancy Limited (PHACL), shares insights into his work and experience with agricultural businesses. Over 30 years’ experience in the global agricultural equipment sector and a family background in largescale farming are strong foundations on which to build an advisory service to help businesses identify scope for efficiencies, opportunities to reduce costs and ideas to boost income, suggests Paul. From original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to the dealer supply network and the farming businesses at the end of the farm machinery chain, PHACL has been set up to support development across the agricultural spectrum, says Paul, whose business already counts prominent UK manufacturers and dealerships among its clients.

Drawing on expertise “My background is with the dealer 98513

network, product management, supply chain and business side of agriculture,” explains Paul. “That gives me good grounds to offer strategic advice on business management at this end of the sector, but as a consultancy we need to offer our clients the full package. From estate management and governance advice to landowners, through to equipment ownership in large-scale farming businesses, the addition of associates whose expertise we can draw on means we are now able to offer a full set of services to those involved in high output, advanced technology agriculture. “Strategic and succession planning is of paramount importance to all businesses, and is an area we focus on heavily when invited in to

A background in key machinery Paul’s decades of experience in the farm machinery industry include a central role in bringing some key machines for high-output farming to the UK. In 1997 he brought the first Case IH Quadtrac to this country, demonstrating it initially to the corporate farming businesses of the time including – among others – Velcourt and CWS Agriculture, who led the way in adopting the machine, as well as to large private farmers through dealers such as RW Crawford, Farmstar and Farol. “These were tremendously exciting and interesting times – not just finding how we could apply this level of horsepower to make our farms more efficient and productive, but also seeing how UK and European machinery businesses responded with equipment that could stand this level of horsepower and deliver better residue incorporation, drainage, and growing conditions for crops,” says Paul. “We had some very interesting discussions on where horsepower could go, and I remember talking about the possibilities of 800– 1,000hp within 20 years – we get ever closer to that figure.” Paul was also involved with the UK introduction of a new type of straw chopper from Canadian firm Redekop Engineering for

Case IH’s Axial-Flow combines, and in 2014 worked with the firm in Saskatchewan to develop a residue management package to suit UK crop yields, straw volumes and climate. “This part of Canada produces similar yields to European farms, and working with Redekop’s knowledge of residue management, crop flow and aerodynamics we had a product ready for the field in a matter of weeks, with just a few minor inseason tweaks necessary back here to bring about a new level of residue management to the UK combine business. “The Redekop MAV chopper was originally dealer-installed, but one year later the unit was being fitted on the production line. An evolution of this project is the Seed Control Unit (SCU) now being offered by Redekop, a real game changer in the ‘not out of a can’ fight against weed-seeds. “So at PHACL we have a great deal of experience, passion and commitment to agriculture right across our team and associates. Wherever we can help and support landowners, dealerships and manufacturers at all levels with consultancy, we are ready to help identify scope for efficiencies, opportunities to reduce costs and ideas to boost income and smart investment plans.” FG

Farm Planning & Maintenance

The importance of farm building maintenance

Farm buildings all require maintenance, whether new or old. The older a building gets, the more defects will manifest themselves. Cameron McKenna of Salter & McKenna is a chartered building surveyor and can advise on defects and construction repair works. Farm buildings can be divided into two categories: • Old, traditional buildings • Modern portal frame

construction. These can be further divided into livestock and non-livestock buildings. Livestock cause

considerable damage to buildings and equipment and it is a constant effort to keep buildings in order. A lack of building maintenance can lead to other defects, an example would be a leaking roof which causes a timber rafter to fail and lead to a collapsed roof. Water ingress is the number one enemy for buildings. There are a few safety considerations to take into account before undertaking work. Health and safety is the number one consideration before starting work. Many farm buildings have asbestos containing materials in their construction. The farm should have an asbestos register, this should be consulted when planning the work. Also be aware of any electricity cables and ensure these are covered if necessary; the electricity board can sheath cables for you on request. Farm buildings by their very nature are large often tall structures and therefore working at height is an important consideration. Try not to use ladders. The options would be tower platforms, scaffolding, a teleporter and person basket or a cherry picker. Always plan your work and

record any risk assessments prior to starting work and ensure you have all your emergency contact numbers easily available prior to works commencing. Avoid working on your own if possible. The maintenance requirements for new buildings is much lower than traditional buildings; the materials are also much more resistant to water ingress. The priority for all buildings would be to clean all gutters and ensure the drainage systems are working. Water ingress can cause further damage to the buildings structure and anything stored inside. A good time to inspect any building is when it is raining, as failures can easily be seen. Traditional buildings suffer more from water ingress and this can lead to failures in the building’s structure. Timber loses its strength when wet. Foundations can also fail as these are traditionally very shallow. Replace any broken cladding if required – this will stop the ingress of birds and rodents. Have a good programme of pest control in place and ensure that areas around buildings are kept clear of suitable habitat for rats. FG

Before the storm: • Check for Met Office weather warnings • Regularly inspect your farm and keep on top of maintenance by carrying out necessary repairs to buildings, fences and walls whilst the weather is calm • Check that tiles, slates, and roofing sheets are in place and put away any items that cannot be secured • Make sure gutters are not leaking and are clear of debris • Protect and lag water pipes in vulnerable areas and know where the water supply is so that you can turn it off in the event of burst pipes • Ensure you have a good tree inspection programme in place, paying particular attention to trees bordering buildings, roads, railway lines and rights of way • Prepare for power cuts – have torches and batteries to hand and make sure any generators are ready to use, and can run at full load for long periods of time, if required • Plan evacuation routes to get staff and livestock to safety in the case of extreme weather – identify higher ground that you can move livestock to in event of flooding • Have your insurer’s emergency helpline available. During the storm: • Do not attempt emergency repairs • Keep all doors and windows closed. After the storm: • Be aware that after a storm, power cables or powerlines may have been brought down • Do not enter any buildings that could be unsafe • Report any damage to your insurer as soon as possible.

Farm Planning & Maintenance

When to replace agricultural chains

Maintaining the efficiency and longevity of agricultural equipment is vital to ensure a seamless operation and maximise productivity. Among the critical components of farm machinery, chains play a fundamental role in transmitting power, facilitating movement, and supporting heavy loads in arduous applications. However, with continuous use and exposure to demanding conditions, these chains undergo wear and tear, meaning timely replacement is required to avoid unexpected breakdowns. Here’s what to look out for when agricultural chains need replacing:

• Regular inspections – Regular

•

visual inspections are crucial to identify signs of wear, elongation, corrosion, or damage to the chain. Farmers should routinely check for any signs of wear on the chain links, excessive elongation, or debris that might affect the smooth functioning of the chain. Measurement of elongation – Measuring chain elongation determines the extent of wear. Excessive elongation can lead to decreased efficiency, increased energy consumption and potentially cause damage to other components. Assessing the need for replacement avoids unnecessary downtime. Monitor lubrication – Proper and regular lubrication is critical for maintaining the performance and durability of agricultural chains. Not enough lubrication can accelerate wear and lead to premature failure. Farmers should follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for the appropriate lubrication frequency and type. Environmental factors – Agricultural chains are exposed

•

to harsh environmental conditions which can accelerate their deterioration. Regular cleaning and protection against corrosive agents can significantly prolong the lifespan of chains. Farmers should take measures to shield chains from adverse conditions. Seek expert guidance – Speak to reputable suppliers when considering the replacement of agricultural chains. They can provide valuable insights into choosing the right type of chains suitable for specific machinery, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.

When it comes to delivering high-quality agricultural chains, Donghua Ltd offers an extensive range of durable and reliable chain specifically designed for agricultural machinery. Donghua produces chain for all the major farm machinery manufacturers. With super-high breaking loads, heat treated and pre-tensioned with chrome pins, and high interference between pins and plates, Donghua says its agricultural chain is designed to meet the demanding needs of modern farming, making the company a trusted partner for farmers across the UK. With approved product partners, approved stockists and distributors across the UK, Donghua says it is well-placed to support farmers when they need replacement agricultural chain.

Farm Planning & Maintenance New regulations for PTO connections

Accidents involving power take-off (PTO) shafts are among the most common causes of serious injury when operating farm machinery. To help raise awareness of PTO safety, Kramp, the agricultural spare parts supplier, has issued guidance to farmers to minimise the risk of an incident occurring and reduce PTO wear through proper set-up. “Agriculture represents 1% of the working population but is responsible for 16% of all workplace fatalities,” says Farm Safety Foundation manager, Stephanie Berkeley. “It has the poorest safety record of any industry. “Last year, three farm workers were killed when caught in machinery. An arm or a leg can be lost in an instant if it is caught in a PTO. One of our trustees lost a limb following an incident involving a PTO, so we have first-hand experience of the impact it can have.” All PTOs should have an undamaged guard and chain in place. This requirement is covered within the Health and Safety at Work Act. However, it has been part of civil and criminal law for over 60 years, explains Stephanie. If an employee is involved in an accident and the appropriate measures have not been implemented, they are liable to be prosecuted. “I have known cases of employers being jailed because of their negligence – all because they wouldn’t invest £75 in a new PTO guard. Employees must only use a machine if they have been adequately trained and all the safety measures are in place. “If a farmer is unsure of the

guidance, then we have a working with machinery guide on our www. yellowwellies.org website,” adds Stephanie.

No contest “A strong person can generate about three-quarters of horsepower, whereas a tractor transmits nearly all of its horsepower into the PTO shaft,” says Kramp UK OEM specialist, Adam Hubbard. “There is no contest. If an entanglement occurs, a PTO shaft can wrap an arm or leg around it nine times in less than a second.” The most crucial aspect of PTO safety is to ensure you start with the tractor. Ensure it is made safe, the handbrake is fully on, put all controls and gears in neutral, stop the engine and remove the key before working on a PTO. Most accidents involving PTOs happen because these steps are not followed. But it does not totally eliminate the risk even when they are, cautions Adam. “I worked on a busy farm in Australia. There was a large group of us, and I followed these steps to maintain a tractor. Whilst underneath the machine, a colleague entered the cab, took the key from the seat and started the vehicle; I was lucky this was only a near miss.

“It is always best to maintain a PTO before and after it is last used, before taking a break, or at the end of the day. A quick visual check of the guard and the chain, and that it is sufficiently greased may be all that is needed most of the time. Also, check the PTO guard is secure to the PTO. “I have a tip regarding the PTO guard chain, which most farmers do not do. It only takes 20 seconds and will save them time and money. When hooking up the chain, double it back through the D-link and hook it onto itself. This will shorten the chain length and prevent it from being wrapped around the guard tube. The guard should then only be able to turn 90 degrees with the available slack on the chain. A little more slack in the chain may be needed for a wide angle application, but if it is too much, it will wrap around the shaft and eventually wear through it, requiring replacement,” explains Adam.

How to correctly set up a PTO to reduce wear The most common cause of PTO failure is an insufficient overlap of the PTO profile tubes. When the PTO is correctly installed, the overlap should be less than 33% longer than the shaft length. In practice, a closed shaft measuring 1,000mm should have a working length of less than 1,330mm. Adam recommends that the maximum closed centre length is at most 1,410mm due to vibration. If the PTO is installed and there is not sufficient overlap, there will be excessive vibrations when the PTO is in operation. This will produce a whipping motion, which adds stress to the universal joint. The heat generated from this force can cause a catastrophic failure, endangering passers-by. continued over…

Tips on PTO safety and maintenance to combat a major cause of farm accidents

Farmers should be aware of regulation EN12965. This EU legislation came into force shortly before Brexit and was copied into UK law. Only collar locks are allowed on the primary drive shaft connected to the tractor. This means push-pin or certain collar locks with exposed springs are prohibited on new machines. “Push pins may be used on second-hand machines, but it is imperative for new machines or repairs that an authorised collar lock is fitted. If a new machine is delivered, I recommend that a farmer check the compliance of the PTO connection. They can contact their local dealer or Kramp for advice if unsure which is legal for a replacement. “The other statutory requirement that farmers should be aware of is for the PTO guard to overlap the joint by a minimum of 50mm when in a straight position. This ensures the guard covers the moving parts,” adds Adam.

Adam urges farmers to refrain from using PTO adaptors on the main drive and to limit the maximum power they transmit to less than 30kW. An adaptor is an additional point in the drive line and causes excessive vibration. Instead, to be safe, he would recommend changing the yoke on the PTO to be suitable for the implements it needs to operate. “One of the most common warranty claims is related to a single wide-angle application when the operator has used the PTO at an excessively wide angle. I have known brand-new PTOs to fail after only 10 hours of use when this happens. If exceeding this angle even briefly, a double wide-angle PTO may be needed. “If there is a permanent working angle a wide-angle joint should not be used as it will prematurely fail due to lubrication. If such an angle is needed to operate the machine, it may be necessary to instal an H type joint. “Another important consideration when setting up a PTO shaft to a machine is the vertical alignment of the PTO from the tractor to the machine. This can accentuate any horizontal alignment and produce oscillation when in operation. Z and W bends must be maintained as they

will help prolong the service life of the PTO,” advises Adam. All new operators using a tractor powering a PTO are fully briefed on PTO safety because otherwise, they may not know any different and how dangerous a PTO can be, declares

Adam. More experienced operators should also be wary of complacency and treat a PTO seriously and with their full attention. “Kramp is more than just parts. We have an expert team of experienced agricultural engineers,

and several of us have also operated farm machinery, so we understand the practicalities. We support our dealers with bespoke training courses like PTO safety and can offer these to farmers on request,” concludes Adam. FG

Kramp Academy supports agricultural engineers Utilising its in-house expertise, Kramp offers a series of courses to give agricultural engineers the confidence to work on specialist topics. They currently offer a one-day PTO course, a one-day hydraulics course and two BFPAaccredited hydraulics courses. Kramp Academy can take place at the Kramp head office in Biggleswade, or it can be done at a dealer’s site. The Academy aims to ensure knowledge on the latest products, services and legislation is shared with the industry. The courses are constantly adapted to meet specific requirements and demands of the participants. More details can be found on the Kramp website.

Farm Planning & Maintenance Assessing farmland for diversification potential Farming Resilience Fund. Head of planning Dan Hewett comments: “There is considerable scope to enhance value and income through the implementation of diversification projects. Our team has recently expanded enabling us to tailor our service to unlocking these opportunities through the planning system, and our combined experience enables us to cover the strategic promotion of sites through to the project management of development schemes via planning applications or appeals.” Wilson Wraight says its planning consultancy team would be delighted to discuss options for farm diversification or to assess the potential for land to be brought forward for residential or employment uses. For further information on this and to discuss any planning related matters, contact Dan Hewett directly. FG

Alma Renovations says it has experienced first-hand the benefits of diversifying the farm yard and using old barns for commercial use to gain a new and reliable income. Farm buildings that have fallen out of regular use tend to get filled up with bits and pieces from around the farm and home, and get forgotten about. It doesn’t take long for a building to deteriorate. Often vermin get in and start to undermine the floor, roofs start to leak and rot timbers out, exterior cladding comes loose and blows off in the wind, doors and windows get damaged and, in turn, expose the inside of the building to the elements causing further damage to the structure. The longer you leave a building in disrepair the worse it gets and, when you do finally decide to do

something with it the costs obviously escalate. Regular repairs and maintenance can save a lot of money long term. Clearing out old buildings, fixings roofs, cladding, replacing guttering and insuring drainage is running are all good winter jobs that pay dividends for future plans. Maintaining or converting a building is something that can be done in stages – it doesn’t have to be done all in one big hit. Spreading the cost and time over a few years will make a daunting project much more affordable and manageable. Alma Renovations has the experience, staff, equipment and contacts to carry out all aspects of work to your yard and buildings, be it a large project needing full renovation, to essential repairs and maintenance. FG

For many farmers and farming businesses, enhancing farm income from sources other than conventional farm production makes sense. These diversification 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 range of diversification projects including holiday lets, change of use to dwellings, glamping sites, dog exercise parks, and we have had several recent successes for the change of use of existing buildings to commercial uses. Wilson Wraight’s advice would be to take stock of redundant buildings and unearth potentially untapped value, especially in light of the potential opportunities provided by the Defra-funded Future

Series of new appointments at McArthur commercial grain operators. Before joining McArthur Agriculture, his previous agricultural experience included sales and technical manager for a company specialising in post-harvest storage systems. Pete Robertson joins McArthur Agriculture to strengthen the management team as an experienced finance director. With previous expertise in the food industry, he has worked closely with farmers and has extensive knowledge of the agriculture sector as a whole. Harry Henderson, meanwhile, has been with McArthur for some time and, as an engineering technician working across the company’s entire range of post-harvest equipment, has gained invaluable experience in understanding the specific harvest challenges faced by farmers north of the border and throughout the rest of the UK.

New trainee agronomist at Yara Yara UK has appointed Joe Blanche as a trainee agronomist. As part of his new role, Joe will be out in the field looking at crops, giving growers crop protection and nutrition advice, doing trials work, and gathering important data on the efficacy of Yara’s crop nutrition products. He previously worked in the lab at the Food and Environment Research Agency (FERA), and in quality control at Yara for eight years. Yara says Joe’s appointment demonstrates its investment in its

people. The company supported him to take his career in a new direction and complete an Introduction to Agronomy course followed by a Crop Protection course. He is also currently working towards FACTS certification, which will equip him with the knowledge he needs around crop nutrition, fertiliser recommendations, and nutrient planning. Joe will be a trainee for two years, and during that time, he’ll be working alongside Natalie Wood, Yara’s agronomy operations manager, and Mark Tucker, sustainability and business solutions manager, where he’ll hone his working knowledge of all things agronomy.

Agronomist joins biostimulants specialist Agronomist Mike Stoker has joined biostimulant specialist Orion FT as business development agronomist. The role will see him offering advice to farmers seeking alternatives that can strengthen crops and improve soil health. Mr Stoker brings with him more than 20 years’ experience, of which 18 were spent with fertiliser specialist Yara. Orion FT’s principal product, Sirius, is a silicon biostimulant that can be used on a wide variety of plant species including arable,

fruit and horticulture varieties. It strengthens plants against external stress by helping develop deeper root structures, increasing leaf hair density and cell wall thickness. Mr Stoker has significant experience in top fruit and horticulture and is based in the southeast of England. “Whilst working with growers locally, I also intend to cover the length and breadth of the UK as well as looking for international opportunities to offer advice on how silicon and other biostimulants in our portfolio can help strengthen and increase the yield of everything from wheat to strawberries.”

Well-known British manufacturer of potato and vegetable cultivating, planting and harvesting machinery, Standen Engineering Ltd, has announced the appointment of Duncan Pound to the role of area sales manager, covering the west of England. Duncan joins the Standen Engineering sales team with a wide range of experience of root crop handling machinery and has worked for some successful agricultural engineering companies. Duncan grew up in a farm contracting background in North

Herefordshire. Upon finishing school Duncan pursued a manufacturing apprenticeship at McConnels in Ludlow, where he gained a vast knowledge of engineering processes. Returning back to his roots, he worked for a potato farmer near Leominster, followed by a period at Irish baler and wrapper specialist, McHale Engineering. He then undertook a winter at a large-scale contractor in New Zealand after which he found himself wanting to return to the UK potato game. Having recently completed a potato harvest, Duncan is readily committed to the job in hand with a deep understanding of customers’ requirements.

Michelin appoints ag technical correspondent Tom Saunders has been appointed as Michelin’s new beyond road – agricultural technical correspondent. In his new position, Mr Saunders will be a direct link between customers and Michelin’s research and development team – relaying feedback from the agricultural community to ensure the manufacturer is always on top of current market trends and future demands. Working with the sales team and dealer network, his role will involve staying one step ahead of

the competition: “Understanding any potential issues with existing products and, crucially, acting upon new demands for the future, be it tyre sizes or tread designs.” He has been with Michelin since 2009, first joining the company as an agricultural account manager. He has worked in the farm machinery sector his entire career, after gaining a BTEC National Diploma in Agricultural Engineering at Askham Bryan College, in North Yorkshire. Prior to joining Michelin, he was a Fendt area sales manager for AGCO. He will report into Carl Williams, customer engineering support team manager UK & Republic of Ireland at Michelin.

New specialists at Agrovista Precision Agrovista has announced the appointment of two new precision farming specialists to help meet increasing demand from customers across the country. Scot Mitchell and Victoria Kennerley-Bevan will cover Scotland and western England respectively, helping farmers to make informed precision farming decisions based on the collection and interpretation of clear data, backed up by expert agronomist knowledge. GPS soil mapping is in particular demand. Agrovista has also recently appointed two full-time soil samplers, Paul Blackwood in the Borders and Matt Dobson in Yorkshire. Joel Ouellette has been

appointed as a GIS data analyst. Scot Mitchell joined Agrovista in June and will be based in The Borders, looking after farmer customers across Scotland. He has worked on several farms, starting with harvest work and tractor driving, before achieving a National Certificate in Agriculture. He has since worked for a large agricultural contractor before moving to Bielgrange, a 550ha mixed farm near Dunbar. Victoria Kennerley-Bevan started at Agrovista in September, and will be covering the West and South West of England from her home in north Shropshire. She grew up on her father’s beef and dairy farm in the area and has a degree in countryside management. She now lives on her husband’s family farm. For the past five years she also worked for a regional agricultural machinery firm.

This very original International 434 had worked only 97 hours since its engine was fully reconditioned. Carrying an F-suffix registration, it retained its original Cyril G Griffiths, Fletching, Sussex dealer plates and sold for £3,600.

Cruso & Wilkin auctioneer Adam Case takes bids for a County tractor at the Foulsham, Norfolk sale.

Many thousands of spare parts and accessories had been sorted into batches for sale.

Classic tractors, implements and spares attract high attendance at Norfolk dispersal sale A late October dispersal sale conducted by North Norfolk-based Cruso & Wilkin featured a large collection of classic and vintage tractors acquired over many decades by retired farmer and haulier, Terry Myhill. David Williams was there. The sale was at the farm owned by Terry Myhill, in the village of Foulsham, near Dereham. Terry grew up on his family’s farm elsewhere in the village, before diversifying into transport and later agricultural contracting. He also farmed up to 80ha of owned and rented land at Westfield Farm and elsewhere. Terry explained that he accumulated his impressive collection of tractors and farm machinery over a long period, but the onset of aging meant he felt he should reduce his collection to just a few tractors and implements that could easily be used. Among these are a John Deere 4755 and a Field Marshall.

Sold at the ideal time of year, this Browns Woodworker, linkage-mounted, PTOdriven circular saw bench made £1,800.

Well-known vendor Cruso & Wilkin partners, Alexander Ison, Jonathan Fryer and Adam Case, sold the lots. “The sale proved popular,” said Adam. “Wet weather in the period leading up to the auction meant that those involved in farming couldn’t get on their own land, but the preview and sale days were dry, so people were happy to spend the time outside. “John is well-known among vintage tractor enthusiasts and often takes part in ploughing matches and other vintage tractor events. Many of his friends and fellow enthusiasts were at the sale and contributed to the enthusiastic bidding.”

This very desirable 1959 Fordson Dexta on new BKT 11.2-28 rear tyres and 4.00-19 fronts with 70% tread, achieved £4,200.

Alexander said that as well as the County, the Renault tractor proved especially popular. “It is quite unusual to see a Renault of this age in this sort of original condition,” he stressed. “Bidding for it was extremely competitive at the sale and online, and the eventual result of £8,500 was impressive. “Four of the tractors were bought by internet bidders, although many bidding online had visited to inspect the lots on the preview day. People attended from as far away Cumbria, the West Country and the Southern Counties, and although a few dealers were present, most lots ended up with private buyers.” FG

An ‘included’ lot, this Simba Solo combination disc and tine cultivator made £2,500.

Another relatively modern tractor, this Renault 75-12 was registered on a 1983 A-prefix, and it was on Good Year 13.6R38 rear tyres with 70% tread, and Vredestein 9.00-16 fronts which were perished with 60% tread. It had two rear spools and a pick-up hitch, and sold for £8,500.

This very original International B275 was in original condition. The tyres held air but were weathered and the metal seat was rusted through. It sold for £1,700.

There were two classic crawler tractors on offer, including the 1943 Caterpillar D4 (left) which was very original and in good order. The tracks were half worn but in good condition and serviceable. The D4 features a petrol (donkey) engine which is started manually first, and this then starts the main diesel power unit. However, Terry had converted the smaller petrol engine to electric start to make the tractor easier to use. Beside it, the International BTD8 had a set of very good tracks – with plenty of wear left in the plates. During its working life, it had been fitted with a Turner Engineering rear linkage and had a set of hydraulic spools added too. The crawlers made £3,000 each.

The biggest attraction for many attending the sale was the 1967 County Super Six 1004 4wd tractor. Terry had owned it for the past nine years having bought it from a private collector near Corby. Since Terry purchased it, the tractor had been fitted with dual rear linkage assistor rams to increase the lift capacity and although the tractor was exceptionally tidy, it was also extremely usable. It sold for £15,500 to a private buyer from Essex.

A striking 1959 John Deere 830 with a two-cyl, 7.7-litre, 72hp diesel engine had been purchased by Terry from a vendor in Wales, but before that spent its working life in Canada. It was on Firestone 7.50-18 front tyres with 70% tread, and 23.1-26 rears with 80% and sold for £7,500.

A Manitou Manireach 2600 Turbo telehandler registered with an L-prefix was on Alliance 15.5/80-24 tyres front and rear, all with 15% remaining tread. It had a rear hydraulic pick-up hitch and was very original and tidy although the seat needed recovering. In good working order, it made £8,000.

This very tidy International 1969 634 Diesel was on Vredestein front tyres and new BKT 16.9R34 rears. It achieved a welldeserved £4,600.

The newest tractor on offer was this Case IH Maxxum 190 Pro. Registered on an 05-plate, it was on Firestone 600/65R28 front tyres with 60% tread, and 710/70R38 rears with 80%. It had a sliding bar axle and four sets of rear spools, and the cab was tidy although the seat needed recovering. It achieved £16,000.

McCormick Deering Farmall A tractors are always popular at sales as they are light and easy to transport. This one was in very good condition, and carried its original Hawkes & Sons, Taunton supplying dealer plates. The tyres were old but in good condition – Good Year 5.00-15 fronts with 80% tread, and unbranded 11.2-24 rears with 90%. It had a rear belt pulley and sold for £1,900.

This box of flat belts made £55.

An oil burning heater made £40. A skid-mounted diesel engine-powered generator producing 40kVA 3-phase and 20kVA single-phase sold for £500.

One of the ‘included’ lots, this Simba Flatliner 500, 3.5m five-leg subsoiler with a rear packer and carrying its original Ben Burgess dealer stickers, sold for £3,500.

This Lister D stationary engine on an original-looking four-wheel trolley appeared complete but was a non-runner. It sold for £120.

In excellent order, this set of eight International front wafer weights sold for £240.

Three attachments to fit the farm’s Bobcat 5t 360-degree digger included a ripper, a wide ditching bucket and a narrower general-purpose bucket. They sold for £260, £50 and £50 respectively. The Bobcat made £7,900.

This ‘included’ Case CS94 tractor was registered with a Y-prefix and was in tidy condition for its age although the seat needed recovering. It was on MRL 340/85R24 front tyres with 80% tread, and Alliance 13.6-12-38 rears with 50%. It had a pick-up hitch and three rear spools and sold for £7,400.

A box of rachet straps made

This set of heavy-duty ‘lifting brothers’ chains made £130.

A flame thrower weed killer in weathered condition made £22.

This pair of Goodyear 66-43-25 Terra Tires on rims with bolt-in centres had plenty of tread and appeared in good condition. They sold for £240.

This tipping flat trailer with a screw jack was weathered but usable and made £240.

£20.

This Fleming flat 6ft grass roll in very tidy condition made £500.

This large man cage with forklift tine fixings was tidy and sold for £620.

An unusual lot, this Parmiter tool carrier complete with a Ransomes mounted cultivator had been well restored and sold for £360.

A set of 6ft linkage-mounted grass harrows made £230.

Pictured with the County 1004 are (l-r) the vendor’s son, Matthew Myhill; vendor, Terry Myhill; Larry Parker from Nottingham who had assisted Terry preparing for the sale, and Cruso & Wilkin partners and auctioneers, Adam Case and Alexander Ison.
