Hay production is expected to be boosted by good winter rains.
Healthy outlook for hay season
rops are currently looking healthy in C the Goulburn Valley, south-west Victoria, on the north coast of NSW,
south-east South Australia, central South Australia, south-west Western Australia and north-west Tasmania, according to Dairy Australia. Crops on the Darling Downs and in central-west NSW are struggling and are in need of some decent rainfall in the next couple of weeks. Cereal hay prices have firmed in Bega and central South Australia. Price changes have also been noted in central-west NSW recently. There is a lot of hay being transported around the country of varying quality. Dairy Australia cautions buyers and recommend feed-testing and viewing fodder before purchasing to be sure of quality of the feed. Dairy Australia makes the following observations about the season for southern Australia:
➤ This season’s hay is limited in supply and there is limited carryover from previous years. ➤ There was a lot of high-moisture hay baled this year with inoculants in southern Australia. If the hay has a high moisture content but is not hot it should be safe. This hay should be sold on a dry matter basis. ➤ Securing long-term, reliable supplies of quality hay may well be an issue for parts of the south. ➤ Late rains moistened soils and provided an autumn break for farmers in parts of the south of the nation. Some regions in the south have missed out on these rains and sowing percentages are down in these areas. ➤ There are farmers who have sown dual purpose crops rather than their usual rotations for next season. ➤ Next season’s crops have germinated in parts of the region. These crops are currently looking healthy in parts of the region that experienced their autumn break.

Hoping for a good September By Rodney Woods
‘‘Grain and hay crops are all pushing towards reasonable levels. ‘‘We still need September to be good to us.’’ Even if September rains do not eventuate, Mr Talarico said farmers would have more success than last year. ‘‘This growing season compared to last year has been a hell of a lot better. ‘‘They (crops) won’t be a complete failure. ‘‘There has been enough rain that crops will amount to something.
‘‘The next six weeks will really determine if it goes from an average or reasonable crop to a really good one.’’ While rains will be welcomed for most of September, rain that arrives at the end of the month could be damaging. ‘‘Silage is harvested in late September, hay in October and November for hay and grain after that,’’ Mr Talarico said. ‘‘You can have a good crop but if you get rain at the wrong times it can damage the quality but at this stage things are going along nicely.’’
WB Hunters field services manager Graeme Talarico (below) says September rain can be the difference between an average or really good hay, silage or grain crop.

A job ‘very well’ done rank Fanning has put the town of F Kyabram on the map after winning the Best Lucerne Hay Feed Test
Analysis and the Best Lucerne Visual Appearance in Victoria and across Australia at the 2018-19 Feed Central National Hay Quality awards. His contractor Alex Peacock, from Peacock Transport & Hay Contracting at Rochester, said the whole process, from planting to harvest, had to be done in a timely matter. ‘‘The whole process has to be done right
and you’ve got to have a bit of luck with the weather,’’ Mr Peacock said. ‘‘It’s not just baling, you’ve got to have the timing of planting and cutting right. ‘‘It’s hard to just give one tip. ‘‘If the crop’s not right, the hay is not going to be right.’’ Mr Peacock, who has done contracting work for the Fannings for more than 10 years, said this was not Mr Fanning’s first victory in the awards. ‘‘Frank’s won a couple of times now and he does the job very well.’’
Howlong’s Richard Baker cleaned up at the Feed Central National Hay Quality Awards.
Tough season helps
owlong’s Richard Baker took H advantage of the difficult conditions to dominate the 2018-19 Feed Central National Hay Quality Awards. Mr Baker was awarded the national and NSW awards for the Best Cereal Hay Feed Test Analysis, as well as the Best Canola Hay Feed Test Analysis and the Best Cereal Hay Visual Appearance. He said he was surprised by his results. ‘‘I knew we had good hay but I didn’t realise it was that good.’’ Mr Baker said frosts, as well as dry conditions, had helped him achieve a personal best in terms of hay quality.
‘‘(Our results were) mainly weather related. ‘‘We put a lot of fertilisers on it and the frost locks in the sugar and makes better quality hay. ‘‘We haven’t been near that quality before.’’ Mr Baker said the tough season had improved the quality. ‘‘It makes better quality hay but it’s harder to make it (in a tough season). ‘‘Frosts make it hard to keep the sap out of it and there’s less growth there, which made better quality hay.’’

‘Hay is our passion’ hile he was unable to match his W national and state titles from last year, Mulwala’s Lochie Donald said it
was pleasing to get recognised for the second straight year. Mr Donald, who was awarded the Best Lucerne Hay Feed Test Analysis for NSW at the recent Feed Central National Hay Quality Awards, said the recognition showed the family business was on track. ‘‘We are still happy about it,’’ he said. ‘‘It’s good to get some industry recognition.
‘‘It shows we are on track with what we are trying to achieve here. ‘‘Hay is our passion so trying to get that as good as we can (is the goal).’’ While lucerne is what got the Donalds the award in 2018-19, as well as the previous year’s national and state title, the family also grows cereal and pasture hay as well. ‘‘Hay would be 70 per cent of our yearly turnover, the rest is sheep and bit of contract work,’’ Mr Donald said. ‘‘We have been diversifying into smaller bales over the last few years (as well).’’

contractor Colin Radcliffe that the Victorian Best Canola Hay Visual Appearance award went to a crop he harvested. The award was announced at the recent 2018-19 Feed Central National Hay Quality awards and Mr Radcliffe, who owns Tyisha Pastoral Company with his brother Brett, said the crop of Sea Lake’s Grant Alday was destined for success. ‘‘It wasn’t surprising,’’ he said.
‘‘You don’t normally see canola hay at that quality, we struck lucky. ‘‘Grant made the decision to cut it early, which you have to with canola. ‘‘There was no leaf loss prior to baling and the weather was on our side. ‘‘You can’t do that sort of hay without weather.’’ Mr Radcliffe said hay was better for livestock when made in a drought year. ‘‘You get better quality hay in drought conditions,’’ he said. ‘‘A drought-affected feed crop has a better feed test than a bulky rank crop.’’
Lochie Donald has produced award-winning lucerne again.

Quest for the holy grail of balers t’s the holy grail for farmers Isilage and contractors working with and hay — and for farm
machinery company Kuhn, the quest to produce top-quality, densely-packed and perfectlyshaped bales in all crop conditions is an ambition that’s inspired the development of what’s being described as the next generation of balers. The new KUHN LSB 1290 iD large square baler comes with some innovative new features designed to boost efficiency, improve overall bale quality and ultimately increase profitability for producers. Kuhn Farm Machinery marketing manager and baler product specialist Michael Murer explained the thinking behind this new machine. ‘‘In essence, this baler creates perfect high-density bales that need less handling, use less twine and ultimately reduce both transport costs and storage space,’’ Mr Murer said. First and foremost is the LSB 1290 iD double plunger design, developed and patented by Kuhn, which produces bales 25 per cent denser than those from conventional machines. ‘‘Its special TWINPACT lunger is a patented system and a revolutionary development that creates 60 tonnes of even pressure across the entire bale, to create 25 per cent more density than competitor balers,’’ Mr Murer said.
The new KUHN LSB 1290 iD large square baler comes with some innovative new features designed to boost efficiency, improve overall bale quality and ultimately increase profitability for producers. ‘‘Achieving the extra density requires twice the force exerted by a conventional plunger. ‘‘To counter this, the TWINPACT plunger is divided into two parts, compressing the bale in two steps — which increases bale density without creating extreme forces on the machine.’’ Mr Murer said avoiding those
massive peak loads meant there was no greater power requirement with this machine than for other more conventional big balers that make these types of 120 cm x 90 cm bales. ‘‘Put simply, we can achieve high density without more horsepower,’’ he said. ‘‘That reduces the running

costs, and it helps to deliver environmental savings too.’’ The machine’s main intake function is another key feature that sets it apart from its competitors. ‘‘Our integral rotor is a simple, maintenance-free intake system that ensures even feeding,
regardless of crop conditions,’’ Mr Murer said. ‘‘The short distance between rotor and pick-up yields an outstanding crop flow, and it also makes possible higher forward speeds, for outstanding productivity and reduced crop damage.’’ After the crop is gathered and pre-compressed in the prechamber, it’s moved upwards into the bale chamber in front of the plunger — and after reaching its pre-set length, the bale is secured by six twines and knotted by a double knotting system sourced from Rasspe. The cutting version, called OmniCut, has 23 knives with individual hydraulic protection, which ensures a perfect cutting quality, regardless of working speed and crop. An operator can easily select from the various available knife group configurations using just two levers. ‘‘It’s about driver comfort as much as cutting quality when it comes to this machine,’’ Mr Murer said. ➤ For more information about the new KUHN LSB 1290 iD large square baler, visit: www.kuhn.com.au or phone Kuhn baler product specialist Michael Murer on 8348 5999.

Ten steps to make good silage SW DPI has produced the N following 10-point guide to making and using quality
➤ Ease of removing and eating the silage (accessibility) affects intake ➤ The feeding space allocated per animal and access time will affect intake. 9. Minimise losses during feedout ➤ Good feeding facilities will reduce losses. ➤ Control access during feeding to eliminate trampling and fouling. ➤ Feed regularly and only in quantities that will be consumed between feeds. ➤ Keep feedout areas clean to prevent contamination of fresh batches. ➤ High feed quality will reduce wastage.
silage.
PLANNING 1. Why conserve forage? ➤ What are your business goals? ➤ Does silage fit into the whole farm plan by meeting the production and management goals? ➤ Is silage the most economic and/or practical option to fill a feed gap, to balance the ration or utilise excess pasture? 2. Always target high quality silage; it: ➤ Maximises animal production potential. ➤ Reduces production, storage and feedout costs per unit of stored ME (metabolisable energy). ➤ Increases management flexibility.
MAKING 3. Minimise costs ➤ Are your harvesting, storage and feedout systems well matched to maximise efficiency and minimise costs? ➤ Should you invest capital in silage equipment? Should you consider using a contractor? ➤ Will capital investment increase efficiency, and therefore increase profitability? 4. Start with high quality forage ➤ Grow crops and pastures that
Good silage production starts with planning, according to NSW DPI. produce high quality forage and have high yield potential. 5. Cut at the recommended growth stage ➤ Forage quality declines as the crop or pasture matures. Time of harvest is important. ➤ Consider the effect on regrowth of pastures and forage crops. ➤ Maximise pasture utilisation by integrating silage cuts with grazing. 6. Wilt as quickly as possible to target dry matter (ideally within 24 hours, but less than 48) ➤ Leave the swath as wide as possible. ➤ Use a mower-conditioner. ➤ Use a tedder to spread the windrow. ➤ Don’t over-wilt — field losses
increase and silage is harder to compact. 7. Minimise losses (of quality and quantity) during harvest and storage ➤ Harvest at the target dry matter level. ➤ Certain additives will improve silage fermentation if wilting conditions are poor. ➤ Even when good silage preservation is expected, inoculants can improve silage quality and animal production. ➤ Additives will not compensate for poor silage management (late harvest, slow wilting or poor sealing). Chopped silage: ➤ Roll pits/stacks/bunkers
throughout the harvest process to eliminate air. ➤ Finer chop will be easier to compact. ➤ Seal pits or stacks as soon as harvest is complete, ideally within three days of starting large pits or stacks. Baled silage: ➤ Aim for high density bales to minimise air pockets. ➤ Wrap or seal bales as soon as possible after baling. ➤ Minimise damage to stretchwrap by wrapping at the storage site or use specialist equipment to transport bales to storage.
FEEDING 8. Ensure feedout system will support high intake
High Performance Mowing
EVALUATE 10. Evaluate the whole silage system — how can it be made more profitable? ➤ Keep records of field operations — were all operations done at the right time? What could have been improved? ➤ Keep records of what crops/ pasture are stored. ➤ Use feed tests to monitor silage quality. Is it acceptable? Given the parent forage, should it be better? ➤ Use feed tests to monitor animal production. ➤ Monitor storage losses. Can you explain why you are getting losses in storage? ➤ Estimate feedout losses. How can they be reduced? ➤ Monitor silage costs. Are there opportunities for reducing costs?

MAGNESIUM 7% Enhances Enzyme Formation. Enhances phosphate adsorption. Essential for chlorophyll production and photosynthesis. Key Nutrient in plant uptake of other nutrients alongside silica.
FEATURES & BENEFITS A natural product free of chemical additives; environmentally friendly. The unique 3 in 1 combination helps maintain nutrient balance particularly where high analysis fertilisers don’t replace magnesium and sulphur lost from soil each year. Particularly suited for horticultural crops and dairy pasture as either direct application or in blends to enhance the effectiveness of the other fertilisers and animal nutrition in the cases of dairy pastures where soil tests indicate deficiencies.
FARMING FERTILISER APPLICATIONS
Low magnesium levels means KMS is more suitable to greater range of soil types across Australia. Important to maintain a proper balance between Mg and K in soils and plants. There is a strong antagonistic effect of potassium on plant absorption of magnesium. KMS can readily replace traditional potassium based fertilisers such as MOP with the advantage of reduced chloride levels (50% vs 1.5%). Low Chloride levels helps prevent the build up of salts in soils; beneficial to potatoes and other Chloride sensitive crops. Suitable for blending with a range of other types of fertilisers such as Guano Gold-Kwik Start, AmSul, DAP, MAP, MOP, SOP & other related products. Available in 1.25MT Jumbo Bulka Bags. Low in heavy metals (Cadmium, Mercury, Lead); meets Australian Standards.

spring silage in Echuca last week. Incitec Pivot’s Lee Menhenett spoke on maximising production through strategic fertiliser and water use, understanding how pasture systems utilise nitrogen, rules around nitrogen and the links between water and nitrogen. Mr Menhenett said the key driver behind profitability of nitrogen use was rates and timing. ‘‘If you don’t use it you lose it and if you get those things right, you will be able to kick some serious goals,’’ Mr Menhenett said. David Lewis from Lallemand Animal Nutrition provided information on getting quality cereal silage into your stack through harvest timing decisions and quality over quantity, managing cereal silage if the season cuts out and increased ensiling challenges of cereals in the region. Whole crop cereal silage can be ensiled at two stages: ➤ Flag leaf: Boot stage — lower yield, generally higher metabolisable energy (ME) and crude protein (CP). Cut crops at 10 cm height and use tedder immediately after mowing or a mower conditioner, harvest ideally with a precision chopper. This is a difficult stage of growth to wilt because it is early in the season and Mr Lewis recommends
the use of silage additives if the silage isn’t wilted enough. The stack should be sealed straight after harvest or bales must be wrapped in four to six layers at the site within hours of baling. Avoid cutting at clear liquid stage because it often has low palatability. ➤ Late milk: Soft dough stage — higher yield, variable ME and lower CP. For the best results use a precision chop forage harvester with direct cutting front, a precision chopper with pick-up front can be used but mow only, leave swath wide and avoid raking to minimise leaf and grain loss. The addition of aerobic spoilage inhibitor additives is beneficial. Using a loader wagon is risky because the chop length is often too long and impossible to compact well, while the use of a baler can cause dry matter and quality losses through grain and leaf loss. Mr Lewis recommends if storing in round bales to use normal additives to assist fermentation, while large square bales under sheets require aerobic spoilage inhibitor and vermin must be controlled because they will chew through the plastic to get to the grain. ➤ Continued on page 11.

at the workshop were David and Denise Gebbie from Timmering. The dairy farmers are currently milking 300 cows. They planted extra crop for hay this year to rebuild reduced fodder stocks, but they fear an early end to the irrigation season due to high water costs will force them into hand feeding earlier then they would like. ‘‘We have around 130 ha of crop for hay and another 40 ha of sub for silage,’’ Mr Gebbie said. ‘‘We planted extra oats to take through to hay this year and they are all looking fairly handy, as long as the rain keeps coming.’’ Business discussions at this stage have centred around using irrigation to finish off the crops to get hay on the ground if required. ‘‘At this stage we are anticipating keeping stock numbers the same but if things turn really bad we will be destocking like everyone else,’’ Mrs Gebbie said.
He also touched on the characteristics of different fodder types: ➤ Barley is okay to cut early, although it is low-yield and best suited for a whole crop high-starch yield. It has a short harvest window and the lowest NDF and is prone to lodging. ➤ Wheat is a good option for both early cut and whole crop. ➤ Triticale grazing helps quality on forage types; select grain variety for a whole crop. It has high lignin. ➤ Oats are a great option for higher protein and digestibility but not ideal as a whole crop due to low grain-to-plant ratio and dry at grain fill stage. Grain types are generally suited for whole crops while forage varieties are more suited for early cut and grazing options. Among the crowd of 40 farmers

These might have been the thoughts of the guano miners shovelling and bagging guano from caves to load into bags to bring back to Europe to fertilise crops. In 1609, Peruvian guano was first discovered by the western world, however, the Incas had been using guano for centuries with strict rules around protecting the seabirds that nested on the islands. The guano trade began in a commercial form in 1840, when the United States started using guano as its main source of fertiliser. The use of guano created an agricultural boom. The US President at the time, Millard Fillmore, said in Congress: ‘‘The duty of the government is to employ all means properly in its power to assure guano is imported into this country at a reasonable price’’. In 1856, the US Government passed the Guano Island Act, which allowed any unclaimed islands to be annexed. So began the hunt for guano to feed the world’s crops. Today, more than 150 years after the 1856 proclamation, the world still demands guano as a source of nutrition for crops and pasture.
Today, however, the world is a different place and deposits of guano are not as readily available. Guano has two main types: the fresh guano from bats and birds that contains nitrogen, and older guano that has been either coralised or, in the case of inland deposits, formed into sedimentary rock deposits. The older guanos are high in phosphorus and calcium but contain no nitrogen. With respect to Australian agriculture, the focus is on the older forms that are imported as a source of fertiliser for both the organic and non-organic farming industry. The current imported guanos fall into two main categories: inland — mainly Chinese — guano, and coastal or seabird guano from South-East Asia. Where your Madura Guano Gold comes from is very important from an agronomy viewpoint, as it determines both how available the phosphorus in the product is and if the product contains beneficial silica at significant levels. ➤ For more information, phone John Jashar from Guano Australia on 0412 474 049. — Robert Drewitt Guano Australia agronomist

Mowers have all the right moves ew CLAAS DISCO MOVE N 3600 and 3200 mowers can really shake their stuff, with an
impressive ‘give’ of up to one metre vertically and 30 degrees laterally, allowing them to work with optimal efficiency and safety in even the roughest of paddocks. Available with mowing widths of 3.4 m and 3 m, respectively, the new configurations feature a highly manoeuvrable headstock that allows the mower to move independently from the tractor front linkage. CLAAS Harvest Centre Echuca dealer principal Brendan Caffery said this high performance specification should appeal to contractors. ‘‘MOVE has 600 mm of travel up and 400 mm down, making it ideal for uneven fields,’’ he said. ‘‘The mower can also pivot up to 30 degrees laterally, further improving its ability to follow contours or swing backwards to avoid obstacles.’’ The headstock includes several proven features found on existing DISCO models, including ACTIVE FLOAT integrated hydraulic suspension and the low pivot point from the PROFIL range. ‘‘ACTIVE FLOAT eliminates the need for suspension spring coupling points on the tractor,’’ Mr Caffery said. ‘‘The suspension pressure can be adjusted during operation again using a single-acting hydraulic service.’’
The CLAAS DISCO MOVE mower will dance through a paddock with minimum effort for maximum result. The headstock can be coupled either directly to the tractor front linkage or using an A-frame. ‘‘The handy adjustment guide allows you to set the front link arms at the right height from the tractor cab,’’ Mr Caffery said. ‘‘The front linkage now remains fixed during operation, with the mower raised and lowered via
integrated hydraulics. ‘‘The convenient Kennfixx hydraulic couplings, which are fitted as standard, can be run on the left or right hand side of the headstock to suit your tractor. ‘‘Likewise, the suspension pressure gauge can be mounted on either side for optimum visibility.’’

Reliability is vital to success ith 900 hungry cows in the W herd and seven employees to manage in the business,
machinery reliability is an important factor in Andrew Newnham’s dairy operation. The Lancaster farmer runs a cutand-carry operation on about 480 ha of owned and leased land, sown to wheat, vetch and lucerne. A key part of the operation is the New Holland-Pottinger tractor, mower and loader combination which brings in fresh feed for the dairy herd. After a succession of poor seasons, the improved rainfall is promising a better year and Mr Newnham hopes to generate between 4500 and 5000 tonnes of silage. His Pottinger loader wagon does about 1400 loads a year and there’s hardly a day goes by when it’s not operating, so he needs to rely on the machine and back-up service. ‘‘This machine runs every day of the year and I can’t just stop. ‘Tomorrow’ is not an option. Everything has to be done today,’’ he said. ‘‘We’ve been pretty happy with Chris Pettigrove at Echuca Rural Group. I think we’ve been dealing with Chris for about 25 years.’’' Mr Newnham runs the Pottinger Faro loader wagon behind a New Holland 735 four-wheel drive tractor, with a Pottinger Alpha Motion mower hitched to the front.
Jessica Newnham is pictured with the New Holland and Pottinger tractor, mower and loader wagon combination used on the family’s Lancaster farm. Pottinger produces the Faro range of 3510, 4010, 4510, 5010 models in the medium-capacity loader wagon segment, operating between 90 and 150 hp. The 31-knife knife bank and
powerful rotor drive for higher capacity make the new Faro a high-performance loader wagon. The machine uses a controlled pick-up for clean forage and the sealed twin-race roller bearings on
the cam rollers are designed to withstand high stresses. The pick-up tines are controlled in a sweeping arc. This results in optimum protection of the sward, lower levels of soil contamination
and prevents unnecessary wear to the tines. The automatic loading system guarantees that the wagon is filled to achieve maximum transport capacity.

Plan ahead for quality silage hen planning your spring W silage, the choice of silage method will depend on
machinery and contractors available and relative cost. While bulk chopped silage may be a cheap option, wrapped bales will always incur the cost of plastic and therefore must be of premium feed quality to be profitable. Early thinking about spring silage should include maintenance of machinery, storage areas and tracks, sourcing plastic, twine or net wrap and inoculants. Growers making early and regular contact with contractors or vice-versa will help reduce problems when everyone is busy. Choice of which paddocks to cut will consider the obvious topography, access and feedout issues, with some people preferring to cut convenient paddocks while others will graze close paddocks and cut further away to reduce stock walking. Soil fertility and weed management are major considerations when we start getting into detail on paddock selection and management. Silage removes large amounts of nutrients including nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), potassium (K) and sulphur (S) which must be allowed for and monitored using soil tests. It can be a great way to reduce nutrient build-up in effluent disposal areas provided withholding periods are observed to minimise animal health risks.
Good silage starts with early planning. If potassium is needed, and it often is if silage or hay is regularly taken from a paddock, then split applications early in spring to allow growth and again after silage harvest to replace nutrients will reduce the risk of luxury uptake. This is where the plant absorbs more K than it needs, meaning you lose fertiliser, while the silage has excess K with possible associated feed quality issues. Nitrogen also needs to be applied sensibly. Top-dressing early in spring to ensure good growth is usually
essential but excess nitrogen can interfere with silage fermentation and nitrate poisoning is a risk. Both are unusual in Australian silage but should be considered. Top-dressing rates for rye-grass will depend on if you take a grazing management priority and harvest at three leaves or want to optimise your yield of high quality silage and harvest at the boot or early head emergence stage of growth. One guide to how much fertiliser should be applied after the grazing prior to silage harvest is to allow for the nutrients removed in the
silage, which would be 30 kg N/tonne DM if the silage was 19 per cent crude protein with about 25 kg K/tonne DM. We often underestimate how much N and K is removed in silage and hay. Weed management is also a major consideration in paddock selection, both from a silage quality and weed control perspective. Using silage for weed control is highly effective and becoming more important as increasing
herbicide resistance issues affect more farmers. Silage will help reduce weeds in two ways. Early harvest compared to hay means that often the weed seed is not fully developed and also the silage fermentation process will significantly reduce weed seed viability if there is any mature seed harvested. From a silage quality perspective, grass weeds may not be a big issue, but broadleaf weeds can affect silage quality. Many broadleaf weeds such as capeweed have a high buffering capacity and low WSC levels, making it hard to get a good fermentation. Another question which sometimes influences paddock selection is disease or insect damage. This especially applies to rust, where the general advice is to make a decision early and avoid badly infested crops because the rust on leaves is dead material which could have a negative effect on fermentation and feed quality, similar to any dead matter that is mixed in with silage. Finally, when paddocks for silage are identified, make sure you remove hazards such as irrigation pipes, electric fence posts and pasture harrows, and mark rocks or stumps early while you can see them. — Neil Griffiths NSW DPI pasture production technical specialist
