News DISTRIBUTION CNH Industrial will end its New Zealand wholesale partnership with CB Norwood in 2022 - instead working directly with Case IH and New Holland dealers

Wider reach From July 2022, CNH Industrial will distribute its own brands, including Case IH and New Holland, to dealers across New Zealand - forgoing its existing agreement with CB Norwood.

In a statement, CB Norwood said the arrangement would not impact its retail operations.

"The company’s sales, parts, service and warranty support for New Holland and Case IH tractors, harvesters and equipment will continue as normal. So, it’s business as usual for Norwood customers," it says.

CB Norwood chief executive Tim Myers says the change reflects a global trend in how original equipment manufacturers have started taking their products to market.

"With CNH Industrial managing wholesale supply and distribution, we’re able to focus on best-in-class customer experiences," he says.

"As well as selling and servicing world-class agricultural machinery, we’re better positioned to front foot the changes in farming with technology-led products and services, so we can be genuine partners that support farmers, in what are frankly uncertain times."

CNH Industrial managing director – Australia and New Zealand, Brandon Stannett, says the change will improve its supply chain efficiencies and help it get closer to customers and its dealer network.

"The chance to go direct to the New Zealand market via the

CNH Industrial managing director – Australia and New Zealand – Brandon Stannett existing dealer network, and to be able to participate more closely in this dynamic and growing market, is exciting to all of us at CNH Industrial," Stannett says.

"Norwood has a long and proud history in the New Zealand agricultural industry, and we thank them for their commitment to our Case IH and New Holland brands for many years, (over 17 years of which as distributor) and we wish them well into the future.

"We appreciate Norwood’s ongoing commitment to Case

IH and New Holland dealerships, and their customers, which will continue until the transition process is finalised mid next year. We will continue to explore the opportunities to build on the strong relationship with Norwood from a retail footprint perspective."

During the transition process, existing agreements and processes will remain unchanged with no disruptions passed onto the client.

Service and warranty arrangements will also be fully catered for.

"Our intention is for a seamless transition with a renewed emphasis for customers on delivery efficiencies, service, capital, parts supply and support," Stannett says.

Lending for investment in headers increased by 120 per cent

FINANCE Lending for the purchase of headers more than doubled in 2020-21 as land prices and business asset finance lending soared

Lending spike Business lending in the agricultural sector has jumped significantly while rural land prices are also surging, according to reports by two of Australia’s big banks.

Data from the Commonwealth Bank shows its overall business asset finance lending during the 2020–21 financial year was 20 per cent higher than the medians recorded over the past decade.

Agriculture was one of the key contributors to the increase, up by 50 per cent, with only aircraft and shipping plus earthmoving equipment outdoing the sector.

Within agriculture, headers were the star performer, with lending for investment in that product up by 120 per cent.

Commonwealth Bank also found business lending for

6 Farms & Farm Machinery

seeders was up 72 per cent, harvesters had a 50 per cent boost, lending for tractors increased by 41 per cent and sprayers were up 21 per cent.

The bank’s group executive of business banking Mike Vacy Lyle says increased customer demand and government tax incentives have contributed towards agricultural businesses looking to invest and grow.

“While the operating environment has been challenging for many businesses for the last 18 months, we’ve seen some businesses [in sectors like agriculture and manufacturing] restock and invest in equipment upgrades, expansion of fleets, new fit outs or take advantage of technological advancements,” he says.

“Each business has its own unique demands and opportunities that asset financing can support – from sole traders looking to secure loans for a new vehicle, to listed entities looking to acquire a business via an asset backed structured facility.”

Meanwhile, the latest Agri Report from ANZ has described a surge in rural land values as reason for “both excitement and nervousness” in the industry.

During the past five years, rural land value growth has exceeded residential property value growth by an average of three per cent per year, the bank says.

ANZ’s head of agribusiness Mark Bennett believes the mix of high commodity prices and good seasonal conditions means very few farmers are looking to sell, driving up demand and therefore prices.

“Rural land values have been growing strongly for a number of years, including throughout the recent drought, and while this has been a boom for farmers, there is some nervousness about what this could mean for the industry,” he says.

“Sustained, stellar growth in rural property prices is boosting farmers’ balance sheets and prompting many farmers to expand their operations in light of the low interest rate environment, however this also appears to be attracting investment from outside the traditional farm buyers.

“With the gap between the value of farm production and overall rural property values continuing to grow, farmers and investors need to consider the potential implications longer term, as well as what it could mean for Australia’s overall agricultural output, noting that seasonal conditions will come and go over time, as will commodity prices.”

SPREADING

The action of the Mammut Gigant is safer for the tractor operator, and produces high quality silage

Fresh approach Amazone’s latest spreader technology can adjust to compensate for wind, the company has announced Amazone has unveiled new spreader technology that automatically compensates for wind on the real-time spreading pattern.

The new system, WindControl, automatically monitors and adjusts spreading patterns to minimise the impact of wind when spreading by using high-frequency wind sensors to record wind speed and direction.

Wind and ground speed data is then calibrated via a computer to calculate new spreader settings, which adjust the position automatically for consistent spreading in the field.

The new technology is available on Amazone’s range of ZA-TS mounted and ZG-TS trailed twin disc centrifugal spreaders.

Amazone product specialist at the Class Harvest Centre Joshua Patrick says the extent to which wind can alter the distribution of fertiliser is significant.

“Headwinds or tailwinds can stretch or compress the spreading pattern, while crosswinds can shift the pattern laterally,” says Patrick.

“These changes can result in significant differences in application rates within the same timeframe and from one tramline to the next.

TYRES Mitas’ new tyre range offers up to 40 per cent higher load capacity than standard tyres, no matter the speed

Lord muck Tyre manufacturer Mitas has developed a new range specifically for operators of self-propelled slurry tankers and as well as harvesting machinery and other heavy agricultural equipment.

The new HC 3000 R tyre range features very high flexion (VF) technology and rounded shoulder sections, as well as what will be the largest high-capacity tyre in the Mitas HC range, the new VF 1000/65R32 CFO.

SILAGE WindControl automatically monitors and adjusts spreading patterns

“WindControl is a fully automatic system that effectively neutralises the effects of wind upon your fertiliser spreading operations, helping you to make the most of your application window.”

WindControl is a wind sensor mounted on the spreader and automatically extends when the spreading discs are actuated, protruding above the tractor’s cab to avoid any turbulence generated by the tractor.

“If there is a crosswind, the disc speed on the side facing the wind increases and the delivery system is rotated outwards,” he says.

“At the same time, the speed of the downwind side is reduced, and the delivery system rotated inwards. This automatically counteracts the wind effect and ensured accurate distribution.”

Once finished and the spreading discs are switched off, the mast retracts to its protected position to between the tractor and the spreader. The system also uses a ‘traffic light’ colour system to advise operators when the system is able to compensate for the wind.

“If the wind is too strong or gusty, the system will issue a warning that the limit of control has been reached,” says Patrick.

WindControl was designed to complement Amazone’s other spreading technology including ArgusTwin system – a 14-radar sensory system that monitors spread patterns of both the left and right discs.

Mitas agricultural tyres product manager Pavel Kott says that, unlike the brand’s other HC tyres, which are primarily used on combine harvesters, the new model was developed with self-propelled slurry tankers in mind.

“We developed this new tyre in response to market demand for a high load capacity tyre for slurry tankers, equipping it with a new and highly soil-friendly tread pattern,” he says.

Thanks to its innovative carcass structure the HC 3000 R can handle up to a 40 per cent higher load capacity than standard models, regardless of speed, which makes the tyre great for cyclic field operations where the load on the machine frequently changes.

Its gentle ground handling — especially when turning in fields or on grassland—is also an advantage, as are the tyre’s flexible sidewalls reinforced with VF construction.

As the tyres can be used at lower inflation pressure, HC 3000 R tyres also have excellent traction and reduced slippage, which results in better fuel economy and productivity.

“These features provide great benefits from the economic perspective and in terms of reducing environmental impact,” adds Kott.

Australia’s first owner of a Mammut SF280 Gigant silage distributor claims the machine does the job 40 per cent faster

Need for speed Wayne Marshall from Bundy Ag Contracting says his first involvement with the Austrian manufacturer came from several trips to Europe, which is where he first discovered the SF280 and eventually purchased the first one brought to Australia.

He says the distribution process takes about 40 per cent less time for both fine and long chops, while also praising the safety features.

“The rotary action of the distributor helps greatly with the fit and trim to fit the tarps,” he says.

“There’s no leaning out of the stack, which makes it very safe, and it is easy to control the rolling depth for every load, which makes a very compact product.

“The Gigant virtually builds the stack itself.”

The SF280 Gigant has a 1,280mm drum diameter, 3,500mm working width, up to 20 degree swivel range when fitted with optional equipment and weighs 970kg.

Even as a contractor using the machine heavily, Marshall says the machine’s maintenance requirements are low.

He also says he has never had a job spoiled because the machine aerates the silage and dries it to the perfect moisture content level.

“We get much more throughput with this machine, a faster roll, and very neat dressing,” he says.

“The silage wagons can be unloaded quickly, with no need to have self-unloading or a feeder at the rear, which also saves toward the cost of the Mammut.

“Going to all that effort – and risk – to get your silage done, to only find that it spoils, is a waste of time and energy.

“The quality is brilliant, and you are safe which means you are fast.”

Mammut products are imported into Australia exclusively by Victorian-based Gendore Group.

Rotary action of the Gigant distributes the silage across the stack, to control the rolling depth for good compaction

SPRAYER

Worth the wait Muddy River Agricultural says its first Horsch sprayer is an ideal fit for the Australian market German manufacturer Horsch has entered the Australian sprayer market.

Its first unit, the newly-released Leeb 6.280VL sprayer, has arrived in the country and will initially be shown to customers before being made available for sale.

It marks a new product direction for Horsch, which has previously been focused on broadacre seeding and tillage equipment in the Australian market.

Jan Moens, service and training manager at Horsch distributor Muddy River Agricultural, says the introduction of sprayers to Australia has been on the company’s radar for several years but finding the ideal model had been a hindrance.

“We’ve been looking at sprayers for a number of years but one of the issues we’ve had is finding the right specifications,” he says.

“Being a European product, Horsch started developing the machine for their European market and it’s only the last couple of years they have developed this differently configured machine for the North American and Canadian market, which also suits our market better.

“For example, up until now, we couldn’t get the 3m wheel track and that’s something we need for the Australian market.

“We weren’t going to try and introduce a product that was never going to be suited 100 per cent to the market.”

The sprayer Horsch and Muddy River Agricultural have decided on for its Australian debut is the Leeb 6.280VL. It offers 280 horsepower (210kW) of power, 1,035Nm of torque at 1,500rpm and is fitted with a 6.7L FPT engine.

There is also four-wheel steering, hydraulic wheel track adjustment from 2.67m to 3.57m, 36m boom and 25cm nozzle spacing.

A 6,000L main tank, 750L fresh water tank and 15L hand wash tank all feature in the sprayer, as does a 75L stainless steel induction hopper.

Moens highlights the boom control technology as being one of the sprayer’s standout features.

“It uses up to six sensors plus a gyroscope-type sensor, which allows the boom to operate at less than 50cm above the ground or crop,” he says.

“If you think about flying a drone with a camera on it; that has got a gyroscope to keep that camera stable. Horsch uses similar technology to keep the boom stable, which allows us to run the boom very close to the ground.

“It’s all about drift control and getting the chemical to end up where it is needed.

“The Horsch boom control, in combination with 25cm nozzle spacing and PWM-controlled nozzle, allows us to reduce spray drift to a minimum.

“The PWM nozzle control used is the Raven HawkEye 2, and is completely integrated in our controller.”

Another aspect of the sprayer Moens highlights is the CCS Pro water system.

“It runs fully automated fill and cleaning programs,” he says.

“Plus, we have a pump, which we use for the spraying and then we have a separate pump, which we only use for the fresh water side of it.

“That also means when we do our rinsing program, we’re rinsing with fresh water and we’re not rinsing with product.

“The way you can compare it with the two pumps – one fresh and one product – is you are going to wash your hands under a running tap, that’s what we do.

“If you use one pump, it’s like you fill your basin and wash your hands in the water in the basin.”

Other key features of the Leeb 6.280VL sprayer include front, rear and boom cameras, the ability

The Leeb 6.280VL from Horsch is now available

to set different track widths for the front and rear, 1,000L per minute filling capacity, 450L per minute spraying capacity from the stainless steel main pump, speeds of up to 32km/h in field mode and 50kmh on the road and capability to work with controllers such as Trimble and Greenstar.

The cancellation of some agricultural events and field days due to COVID-19 lockdowns has impacted the ability for the sprayer to be showcased to customers.

It is hoped the sprayer will be available for wider sale by early 2022.

In the meantime, Muddy River Agricultural will continue work with Horsch on staff training, parts back-up and remote service support options.

Muddy River Agricultural’s head office is in Toowoomba; however, the company also has an office in the Victorian town of Mooroopna as part of a national footprint.

The Leeb 6.280VL offers 280hp (210kW) of power

News HOEING

Under control Managing weeds growing between maize rows is made easier using Steketee’s range of specialist hoeing technologies, distributed through Lemken Recent university studies have proven the effectiveness of Steketee's hoeing technology, ahead of the product's release in Australia next year.

In a study conducted by the University of Applied Sciences of South Westphalia, in Germany, researchers found the Steketee EC-Weeder, working in conjunction with Lemken’s Azurit precision speed drill, was able to control weeds in all variations of a trial.

The results found the weeder, which was equipped with finger hoes and harrows as hoeing tools, effectively controlled weeds in the early

stages of the plant’s growth, ripping the weeds out and then burying them.

Using a precisely set Steketee hoe, weeds were about to be controlled efficiently – from their early shoots through to the cotyledon leaf stage.

In the trial, the maize plants – grown in twin rows for optimal growing space – withstood the load of the mechanical hoe, even at the three-lead stage, and resulted in very little loss of crop.

Lemken says the harrow, compared to the figure hoe, had the added benefit of also working on a section inbetween the twin rows.

Larger weeds at the five- and six-leaf stages were effectively combatted using ridging practices, with efficiencies of 85 per cent and above achieved, depending on operating speed, share width and soil conditions.

"When equipped with the right tools, the Steketee EC-Weeder proves to be a highly effective hoeing machine for mechanical weed control in maize, even with DeltaRow twin rows," says Lemken.

"The smart camera system ensures reliable control at all stages of growth, as it can be set to twin row mode for young plants or single row mode for the final pass with large plants, depending on crop height. Conventional farms have the option to combine hoeing between the twos with bend spraying in the rows."

The Steketee EC-Weeder will be available to the Australian market sometime in 2022.

The Max-Chisel disc ripper is available in two rigid models

RIPPER

Smooth operator The new ripper works the soil more aggressively, but leaves behind a smooth finish, the manufacturer says Great Plains Agriculture has unveiled its new MaxChisel disc ripper, which boasts three work zones and can rip up to 12 inches (30.5cm) deep.

The disc ripper is also capable of effectively burying residue, leaving behind a level and uniform field for farmers as they prepare their soil for planting.

The Max-Chisel disc ripper is available in two rigid models, which range from 3.51m to 4.27m, and four

folding versions, which range from 5.03m to 7.32m.

All models can be hydraulically adjusted to alter the disc gang depth control and heavy-duty toggle-trip reset shanks.

Great Plains product manager John Moloney says the Max-Chisel’s samurai edge blade makes the disc ripper ideal for burying residue and decomposition.

“The benefit of the exclusive samurai edge with unique mounting configuration, means residue

is anchored into the top four to five inches [10.2 to 12.7cm] of soil, creating optimum conditions for future crops,” says Moloney.

“The Max-Chisel works the soil more aggressively than a traditional chisel but leaves the surface level enough for a single-pass tool, finishing the field ahead of planting.

“Heavy duty toggle trip shanks with an industry-leading 1,111kg horizontal trip force allows deep loosening of the soil down to 30.5cm depth.

A patented rear chopper reel and roller attachment ties down residue, smooths the surface and breaks clods for an excellent finish.

“Walking tandem axles maintain consistent main-frame height for accurate, uniform tillage depth, while the single-point depth stop allows the user to adjust depth across the entire width of the machine in one convenient place.”

Great Plains Ag is distributed throughout Australia

by Kubota with equipment, including the MaxChisel, available through its dealer network.

TRACTOR Preparation work is underway to ensure spare parts are in stock ahead of this year’s harvest season, according to some large original equipment manufacturers

Harvest ready John Deere, Claas, Case IH and New Holland have all sought to assure farmers that things are ready for the coming harvest season.

John Deere told customers in September that a specially commissioned flight had brought 110 tonnes of spare parts to the company’s Australian and New Zealand Distribution Centre.

This is in addition to Deere also doubling its weekly supply of parts by adding 10 tonnes of cargo capacity per week over recent months, it said.

The distribution centre has more than 133,000 lines in stock to assist with more than 340 current models of John Deere machinery, plus earlier generation models.

Deere’s Australia and New Zealand managing director Luke Chandler says the delivery will put it on the front foot ahead of harvest season.

CNH Industrial, responsible for brands such as Case IH and New Holland, said it had developed a spare parts inventory 17.5 per cent greater than at the same time last year, with a major focus on combine and high horsepower tractor parts.

"Very early in the year, we could see the season was going to be one of the biggest in many years," says Yavuz Sikca, CNH Industrial head of aftermarket solutions for Australia and New Zealand.

"Machine up-time is a key focus for us and with concerns surrounding limited supply and shipping delays due to the ongoing pandemic, it was critical for us to get in front of the game.”

CNH Industrial’s dealer hub program is now in its second year of operation and aims to move parts from the national distribution centre to strategically located dealer locations across the country.

Through the program, is it hoped farmers can gain

Claas and other manufacturers have confirmed that stock is available

access to parts quickly with dealers able to draw on the centralised supply to ensure a fast response.

For its part, Claas Harvest Centre says it will deliver a record number of Claas Lexion combine harvesters to Australia in time or harvest season – expanding the size of its local fleet to more than 1,000 machines.

Claas Harvest Centre Lexion product manager Steve Reeves says he expects about 100 new machines to be delivered to grain producers and contractors over the next three months.

New Holland will mark its 60th anniversary with a special edition forage harvester, featuring a new livery and unique benefits for operators.

The celebration marks six decades since New Holland’s first self-propelled forage harvester debuted, when the manufacturer transformed its SP818 pull-type harvesters into the new machine.

To celebrate, all editions of the FR Forage Cruiser produced for the next season will bear a 60th anniversary decal, silver swash and sliver leaf to recognise the advancements in technologies and performance made by New Holland across the last 60 years.

Standard MyPLM Connect, UpTime Solutions and UpTime Warranty will also be included as standard on the special edition harvesters.

“For the last 60 years, New Holland forage

harvesters have constantly pushed the boundaries of performance, delivering the highest quality silage to meet the most demanding requirements of livestock farmers,” says New Holland spokesperson Henrik Aaskov Hansen.

“More recently, our FR Forage Cruisers have also proven invaluable assets in biomass production, which is developing fast in response to the growing demand for sustainable fuels. As we mark this important milestone, New Holland Forage Harvesters are demonstrating how their versatility is helping our customers to improve their profitability and fully grasp the opportunities of new revenue streams.”

The anniversary will also be marked by a special demonstration tour in Europe, which will cover major harvester markets on the continent,

including Belgium, the Czech Republic and more.

New Holland hopes the tour will provide farmers with an opportunity to experience the productivity available in the FR Forage Cruiser.

Technology in the FR harvester increase productivity and crop quality in the field, especially in crops such as grass and maize.

Power Cruise ensures operators can harvest crops to full capacity in fields where crops may vary in density. HydroLoc also ensures consistent crop length, regardless of crop type.

MyPLM Connect telematics keeps farmers always connected to the machine and also allows them to send and receive in-time data to boost productivity in the field.

“The technological evolutions on the current FR Forage Cruiser enable the operator to control a wide range of parameters on the machine to increase the quality of the silage,” says Europe product marketing manager Florian Schmitt.

“Whether we are cutting feed for livestock application, or biomass in various crops for biogas applications, the FR Forage Cruiser allows our customers to feed their business with the optimally chopped quality of the crop across all types of produce.

“The NIR [near infrared] technology provides a granular measurement of key nutritional values, and by using these in an applied environment, we can provide our customers with the highest quality in the stack, and as such support and manage a profitable and sustainable forage business.”

Cover story

Beyond the black stump Forestry mulcher and tiller manufacturer FAE is sharpening its focus on Australian farms, with a new boss and a new range of implements on offer It’s no secret that sales of farm machinery entered solidly positive territory in 2021 on the back of a positive season and additional government support.

But there’s one farm asset that’s more notoriously thin on the ground than ever – and that’s the ground itself, with farm land prices at record highs and some analysts asking whether land availability has hit a ceiling.

It’s a change that is leading farmers to look to cultivate land that has previously been left alone or untended – with even some former plantations being turned back into cropping country.

For Alberto Rosso, the recently appointed managing director for the Asia Pacific of forestry mulcher and tiller manufacturer FAE, it’s an interesting time to make the move Down Under.

Rosso arrived at the company’s Melbourne headquarters in April from his native Italy, settling his family here in July – realising a long-held ambition to relocate here after some years spent working in China.

“I’ve been with FAE since the end of 2019… before then I worked as a regional sales manager and director for Maschio Gaspardo Group, and before then I worked for CNH, so I built my experience on agricultural machinery in Asian markets,” he says.

“I think Australians prefer to see machines work in Australia. Every country is unique and has its different challenges, but Australia is very challenging naturally – the rocks are harder, the wood is harder than in other countries.

“That is why also FAE machines are successful where quality is important, where you need to get the job done.”

A family-owned business with its base in Fondo, in the Italian Alps, FAE develops machines for construction and even for clearing anti-personnel mines, but its largest range is in its land-clearing equipment, with stump cutters, stone crushers and forestry mulchers all available.

Rosso adds that all the company’s forestry mulchers have been used across the world to reduce potential fuel for wildfires, with the company having a variety of options available for operators of all sizes.

FAE’s new Patrizio forestry mulcher is ideal for mulching pruning debris in vineyards and orchards, able to shred material of up to 15cm in diameter and equipped with two rows of counter blades.

Rosso says the “entry-level forestry mulcher” suits a 50–100 horsepower (37–75kW) tractor and comes with a redesigned bite limiter rotor to reduce the depth of a cut and be more power efficient.

“With a flail mower you cannot get the same result, and also the price is friendly,” he adds.

A However, he adds that the machine with the widest application for Aussie farmers is the SSH forestry tiller – designed with a PTO attachment and able to be coupled to tractors within 160–500hp (119–373kW) range.

Available in working widths of between 1,600– 2,560mm and with 62–102 teeth, the SSH forestry tillers can shred tree stumps of up to 70cm in diameter – and can reach up to 50cm depth.

The units come fitted with interchangeable Hardox inner antiwear plates and offers the option of either a hydraulic support roller or a wide hydraulic roller which helps produce fine-quality compacted soil faster.

“There is an adjustable counter blade that gives you a different grade of mulching, so more in the

B chamber will make for finer results – though it will slow the operations a bit,” he says.

Also available is the SSH/HP model designed for higher power tractors and which Rosso says are better suited to soils with some rock content – with the optional A/3/HD teeth preferred for that situation.

To help Australian farmers with stone crushing, FAE offers the STCH stone crusher – a power take-off (PTO) attachment that can fit to tractors between 280–400hp (209–298kW).

Able to crush stones of up to 50cm in diameter and to reach a maximum operating depth of 25cm, the STCH comes in three models, with working widths of 200, 225 and 250cm.

The units come with a hydraulic counter blade that can be adjusted directly from the tractor cab,

allowing the operator to check the size of shredded material without getting out of the seat, while its interchangeable Hardox wear plates make for easier maintenance.

It is also equipped with a new side-scraper system to limit side wear, adjustable skids, as well as interchangeable protection chains.

A grader blade and dozer blade are available as options for road paving, as well as a dozing blade equipped with a spring system to level and compact the crushed material.

Rosso says feedback on the new STCH models has been positive.

“People are very enthusiastic about this machine,” he says.

“It is the type of machine that you sell and you forget

D

you have sold until the customer calls you back asking for some spare parts – we sleep very well at night!”

Rosso also rarely loses sleep over spare parts, with FAE boasting a “fully-furnished” spare parts warehouse at its Dandenong base, full of the necessary parts and teeth, which he says puts the company at an advantage over its competitors.

“With the proper servicing, we can see machines that have almost 20 years of work behind them, in perfect condition and still working well,” he adds.

“More than other years, we aim to have a good stock of machines, because we think that this challenging supply chain crisis will be ongoing for at least the first half of 2022, so we will be ready with spare parts and machines in stock.

“Explaining the right maintenance of the machine is very important and giving the right advice for spare parts is what we do.

“I hope for an excellent 2022 – Australia will need agricultural land and there will also be a need for infrastructure.

“For 2022 I am quite optimistic – touch wood.”

AUTOMATION

Taking flight Driverless tractor technology took a big step forward recently after the debut of a new concept at an agricultural event in the United States Raven Industries showcased its OmniDrive technology to crowds at the Farm Progress Show in Illinois in September, which the company describes as an "aftermarket technology solution that turns existing tractors into driverless machines".

The technology allowed for a Case IH Magnum tractor to be controlled without an operator, with it pulling a grain cart and being directed to sync with a harvester during the demonstration.

Raven Industries, a US-based precision agriculture company, was bought earlier this year by CNH Industrial for a US$2.1 billion enterprise value.

CNH Industrial is the parent company of Case IH, plus other well-known manufacturers such as New Holland and Iveco.

Case IH’s Australia and New Zealand general manager Pete McCann says the technology is the next step in an ongoing process for the company.

BALER

Off-shore exclusive Released in overseas markets, New Holland’s 125 fixed-chamber round baler features new styling, new shock absorbers and a redesigned slide shield New Holland has unveiled the successor to its best-selling BR6090 fixed chamber baler, launching the new roll-bar 125 fixed chamber round baler in overseas markets.

The manufacturer confirmed to Farms & Farm Machinery that the 125 model will not be available in Australia; only the 150 and 180 roll belt models will be sold here.

With the 125, New Holland has built upon the success of its predecessor with improvements made to the new iteration’s performance and durability, while also adding a host of new features to the machine.

Company spokesperson Felix Ramueke says the baler is the ideal replacement for the outgoing BR6090 baler.

“The best-selling fixed chamber baler on the market has a worthy successor in the roll-bar 125, which remains true to its strong heritage DNA,” says Ramueke.

“With new additional features and options, it is the right choice for farmers who are looking for a robust, simple and diverse baler, which feels home in all major crops and conditions – from dry straw up to wet silage.”

The baler is available in two variations – rotor feeder and

"This is just the latest example of the rapid advancement in ag technology, with driverless operations the next frontier and first showcased by Case IH in its autonomous concept vehicle (ACV), which visited our shores in 2017," he says.

"It’s all about finding solutions to the challenges our farmers face every day, providing improved efficiencies and productivity at every level of ag businesses."

When the purchase of Raven Industries was announced earlier this year, CNH Industrial chief executive officer Scott Wine said precision agriculture and autonomy were "critical components" of the company’s strategy to help farmers increase their productivity.

"Raven has been a pioneer in precision agriculture for decades, and their deep product experience, customer driven software expertise and engineering acumen offer a significant boost to our capabilities," he said.

"The combination of Raven’s technologies and CNH Industrial’s strong current and new product portfolio will provide our customers with novel, connected technologies, allowing them to be more productive and efficient."

Raven says its OmniDrive technology has been proven to operate safely among people, animals, and other equipment.

It can also recognise unharvested crops so these are not disturbed.

It features multiple cameras and radars and is controlled by a tablet, which is compatible with iPad, Android and Windows. hields.

rotor cutter and includes a large slide shield, which provides easy access for maintenance as standard.

The slide shield has been redesigned and features new styling while a robust weld structure also ensures durability in the field. Top door hinges, wide opening and gas strut supports provide easy access service points for maintenance of the baler.

New Holland says the roll-bar 125 is a flexible machine, with the combination of large floor roll, starter roll and the high tensile steel bale rotation bars can form bales with a positive rolling action across a wide range of crops from dray straw to wet silage.

Modifications have also been made to the main frame of the baler with shock absorbers added on both sides between the frame and tailgate to safeguard a smooth closing of the machine.

Under the hood, high-grade drive chains with chromised pins and hardened plates deliver improved durability and performance while also reducing maintenance costs. The pins and plates have a longer life cycle than the previous model and new sealed bearings ensure dust contamination is kept to a minimum.

Rotor feeder models will too be able to make use of the wellprove hydraulic rotor reverser with a free-run clutch ideal for easy unplugging with the rotor is blocked.

Lights have also been repositioned to accommodate the side shields.

News August tractor sales were 40 per cent ahead of the same time last year

MARKET With dealers making “aggressive” orders, tractor sales were 40 per cent higher in August 2021 than they were at the same time last year

Extreme conditions The month of August was another outstanding one for tractor sales across the nation, with a rise of 40 per cent on the same month last year.

This now sees the year-to-date (YTD) figure rise to 30 per cent above last year, with a running rate well in excess of 16,000 tractors per annum.

The industry is dealing with extremes at present, with new challenges emerging from items ranging from computer chips to tyres.

Machine deliveries continue to be pushed out, particularly in the smaller ranges, and price rises for raw materials are beginning to impact the finished product.

Whilst there remains considerable supply challenges and long lead times, the current demand is being fed by aggressive ordering by dealers back in 2020 in anticipation of strong ongoing activity.

Sales have been strong in all states, fuelled by the expectations of a bumper season coming up, supported by the government’s various company tax incentive programs.

Sales in NSW, which has been on a positive run for nearly 18 months now, are up 44 per cent for the month and are now 52 per cent ahead YTD; Queensland was again strong up 38 per cent for the month and up 26 per cent YTD; and Victoria was up 18 per cent and is 17 per cent up YTD.

Gary Northover is executive director of the Tractor & Machinery Association of Australia (TMA). He can be contacted on (03) 9813 8011 or at gary@tma.asn.au

Sales in Western Australia recorded a mammoth 64 per cent lift for the month in preparation for what promises to be a bumper harvest season; now 34 per cent ahead for the year.

South Australia was likewise extremely busy, up a whopping 83 per cent for the month, and Tasmania finished 60 per cent ahead. Sales into the Northern Territory enjoyed a 125 per cent rise.

All performance reporting categories have enjoyed strong rises for the year, however the under 40hp

(30kW) range was up just six per cent in August due to ongoing supply challenges – keeping it 18 per cent ahead of last year.

The 40 to 100hp (30–75kW) range was again up strongly 23 per cent in the month, now 31 per cent up YTD; and the 100 to 200hp (75–150kW) category was up 72 per cent to now be 26 per cent ahead YTD. The large 200hp (150kW) plus range had another strong rise of 144 per cent and now sits 67 per cent ahead of last year.

Sales of combine harvesters have been forecast to be strong this year and deliveries have begun around the nation in preparation for this year’s harvest.

With more than 200 units sold this year to date, expectations are for a strong 2021, with a return to the 800+ unit sales levels not seen for a year or two.

Baler sales were down in August and remain 13 per cent behind last year’s outstanding season.

Finally, sales of out-front mowers are flying, up 11 per cent YTD.

Events CANCELLATION

Unfortunately another event has succumbed to COVID restrictions, with AgQuip cancelled for 2021

AgQuip cancelled Australia’s largest agricultural field day, AgQuip, has been cancelled and will not proceed in 2021 The organisers of AgQuip, ACM Rural Events, cited the ongoing uncertainty of COVID-19 as the reason for its cancellation, having already postponed the event from its initial date in mid-August.

Extended lockdowns and restrictions on travel throughout New South Wales and interstate, as well as snap lockdowns throughout other parts of the country, meant organisers were forced to cancel the event after initially rescheduling it to November.

The decision was made in consultation with the NSW state government and agencies.

ACM Rural Events group manager Kate Nugent

says the cancellation of the show for the second year in a row was disappointing, but insisted the decision was made to protect the community.

“It is with a great sense of loss, disruption and disappointment to cancel for the second year (in 2021 and 2022), particularly when the Australian agricultural industry is experiencing a boom year and a beacon for our Australian economy,” Nugent says.

“It is the most responsible decision to cancel as early as we could to give everyone certainty and minimise the impacts where possible.

“The health and safety of our primary industry, rural and regional communities is paramount, which is why we’re encouraging everyone to get vaccinated so we can get back to enjoying COVID-safe events again.”

AgQuip – the country’s largest agricultural field day – usually draws a crowd in the tens of thousands and exhibitors travel across the country to showcase the latest in agricultural machinery and technology.

However, following the cancellation of this year’s event, AgQuip has not been held for the past two years given concerns regarding COVID-19 and restrictions in place on both occasions.

Nugent says plans have already been made to revive AgQuip in 2022 while a spin-off event, AgSmart Australia, will be introduced early next year.

Scheduled for March, AgSmart will be the country’s first commercial agtech innovation exhibition and will be staged in a multi-purpose indoor venue in Tamworth, NSW. “As we work together to contain the current outbreak and get our communities vaccinated, we can all look forward to the return of major events like AgQuip and new events like AgSmart that bring us together in celebration of the Australian agricultural industry and community,” says Nugent.

Review The X8 680 VT-Drive is McCormick’s entry into the high horsepower tractor market

Delays with machinery arriving on these shores have become almost standard over the past year, so it was a sense of relief that the McCormick X8 680 VT-Drive was finally unveiled. This impressive offering represents McCormick entering the high horsepower tractor market Words Mark Fouhy Images Justin Bennett

Special delivery T

he latest McCormick release, the X8 680 VTDrive, tops out the X8 range at 310hp (231kW) at 1,900rpm..

Initial impressions were a big thumbs up. As expected of any tractor in this class, it’s large, with LED lights aplenty, and on quality big rubber – what’s not to like? While ‘blacking out’ tractors seem to have become a recent trend – with dark wheels, panels and windows – McCormick has stayed true to its bold red aesthetic. However, rather than its usual fire engine red, this special edition is more of a classy metallic red. Ironically, it almost perfectly matched the Strautmann Magnon loader wagon we hooked it up to for our test drive.

Operating on flat ground and without being loaded due to the availability of grass and terrain options on the day we visited, it’s a little hard to truly say just how much power the McCormick X8 has under full load. However, FPT engines are known for having plenty of torque through the low to mid-range, where they tend to be operated most of the time.

In terms of get up and go, there was no disputing its ability in this regard. It can reach 50km/h at a low 1,600rpm and tow up to 40 tonnes safely, thanks to the engine exhaust brake, as well as air and hydraulic brake connections for trailed implements.

Although it looks big, it actually only measures three metres long; has a turning radius of five metres and turning circle of 11 metres, so is considerably nimbler than you would expect.

Overall, the tractor weighs 10,800kg, with that weight distributed 45 per cent in front and 55 per cent at the rear, helping keep soil compaction low and traction at its optimum level.

Transmission Like most tractors this size, a CVT transmission is the way McCormick has spec’d its X8 tractors.

Opting for a four-stage continuously variable transmission (CVT) allows the best match for speed and power, as well as optimum fuel efficiency.

Control of the transmission is made easy via the VT pilot control with functions grouped together.

With a total of four different drive modes – auto, manual, power take-off (PTO) and cruise – there are plenty of options to suit a variety of tasks when out on the farm.

Hydraulics Plenty of hydraulics and hydraulic flow are important to run big modern implements on high horsepower tractors. A closed centre hydraulic system with a variable pump system (flow rate of 157L/min and the option to take 212L/min) is the best way to do this effectively, using oil flow only as required.

Up to 11 electro-hydraulic remotes are available: six rear, two mid and three front. Using a front buck rake with hydraulic top link, the test tractor makes the most of its front linkage with 5,000kg lift capacity.

This comes as standard on a McCormick X8 tractor.

Rear lift is an impressive 12 tonnes, with electronic control. Working with the three-speed PTO, PTO can be programmed to start/stop at set linkage heights.

Engine Although there’s certainly a push towards having us all start driving electric vehicles in this country, we’re still allowed to operate higher emission tractors (at this stage). While the X8 is available with a stage 4/ Tier 4 Final engine, you can still get them as Tier 3, which doesn’t require AdBlue or exhaust treatment (like our test tractor for the day).

Even better is that, where the 70-litre AdBlue tank should be located, this tractor had a steel lid – great for standing on to clean windows and also provides a lockable toolbox, which is handy.

Back to the engine details: the Betapower 6.7-litre turbo (FPT) engine run in these tractors is similar to what you would find in a New Holland T7.310, so between McCormick/Case IH/New Holland dealerships, you shouldn’t need to go far to find filters for servicing.

Scheduled servicing is the same as other machines running FPT engines: 600-hour engine, 1,200-hour transmission. Daily servicing is straightforward, with the engine oil dipstick easily accessible from the ground and a clear sight glass for transmission oil at the rear.

The bonnet lifts up out of the way for engine access and is secured by heavy-duty wire rope. Radiators release and fold out for easy cleaning. These are designed to be cleaned in just five minutes, so you can crack on with work and hopefully finish your day

sooner. The engine air filter and cab filter are both quite a way from the ground but still accessible.

Cab McCormick has designed a premium cab and I’ve seen some of the features previously on a McCormick X7 tractor. However, the X8 Premium cab version is another level again and pretty much ticks all the boxes for what you’d hope for in terms of comfort and features.

The new four-post cab has been completely redesigned over the offerings of past generations.

outside the tractor. Inside the cab, climate control air conditioning keeps this working environment just how the operator likes it. Even better is the well-sized fridge compartment for keeping lunch and drinks cool for the day.

Like all manufacturers, McCormick has come up with its own functional controller. The VT-Easy Pilot controller is an ergonomically-designed unit where you can rest your hand with key functions within easy reach. One of the standout features for me was the large 12-inch (30.5cm) touchscreen, offering plenty of room to display tractor functions and set-up. Factory-fit GPS for McCormick is Topcon.

However, this test machine was being fitted with Trimble to match other tractors in the fleet where it was headed. Something I hadn’t seen before is an electric button for steering column and central display adjustment, and this works well.

One thing I did feel was a little out of place in such a modern, up-to-date cab was the mechanical handbrake. However, this was something specifically requested by the client, who has a preference for simplicity in this case. The only other issue I found was that the steps to the cab, which is relatively high, are quite steep, but this is often the case in a tractor

this size as to avoid losing cab space the steps need to be quite vertical.

Summary Although 300hp tractors are not the most popular, they certainly have their place within contracting fleets and larger farming operations.

I believe McCormick has done the right thing in making use of the best components for its X8, from electrics and hydraulics to axles and tyres, etc. This should make getting parts and servicing easier, with components being familiar to technicians working on other brands.

After spending the day behind the wheel, as well as testing and installing the GPS system, the big McCormick was headed to the Manawatu where it will be put to use on heavy cultivation in spring.

There are also plans to fit it with a buck rake on the front so it can spend some of the summer months on silage stacks: both jobs well suited to the McCormick X8 in my opinion.

Checking out the unique steering system

It’s been a long time coming, but eventually the opportunity arose to try out an example of Dutch manufacturer Schuitemaker’s Rapide dualpurpose loader wagons. Here, the Rapide 580 turns out to be the perfect fit for grass harvesting or cut and carry jobs on the farm Words Mark Fouhy Images Justin Bennett

Hitting the Schuite spot T

he Schuitemaker Rapide 580 has long been of interest to me, as I’ve had a hankering to see it up close and learn more about the unique trailing pickup these machines run. I’m not aware of any other brand of loader wagon, baler, or forage harvester using a similar pickup system.

Despite the time of year (early August), we managed to arrange an outing to see the machine at work.

Obviously, you’ll be scratching your head wondering what any contractor would be doing with a 38 cubic metre loader wagon at this time of the season.

However, arriving at the paddock for a machinery test of the Schuitemaker Rapide 580, New Zealand North Island contractor Ollie Hawke from Phil Hawke Contracting, based in the Waikato district, assured me there was no silage being made: it was a cut and carry operation for a local cow farm.

Cut and carry is pretty common in areas with goat farmers. However, it’s the first time I had come across this feeding system being used in a cow system. I was assured that it’s working well.

The dairy farm is making better utilisation of a runoff lease block, with feed coming back to the dairy platform at crucial time in early spring to fully feed cows in early lactation. The Schuitemaker 580 wagon usually does a couple of loads every two or three days, unloading in the empty silage bunker, which accommodates approximately 10 loads of a silage wagon, fed in paddock with minimal wastage.

For the contractor behind the wheel, it’s a handy job to have during the quieter winter months before things get busy in spring. The versatility of the Schuitemaker has been well proven at Phil Hawke Contracting, being utilised as a cut and carry

machine through winter and early spring. Then, later, it’s used as a traditional grass loader wagon; still favoured by some farmers as a cost-effective method of harvesting spring surplus pasture into silage.

With the pickup component folding up so tidily under the floor, this proved particularly handy under the Krone forage harvester as a high-capacity bin for grass; and also during maize harvest with heavy crops and potentially longer carts from runoff blocks.

Pickup/feed rotor The pickup is one of the key points of difference of the Schuitemaker Rapide 580 loader wagon. As mentioned earlier, this is the only brand of grass foraging equipment I’m aware of that has a trailing pickup. Given how well it handled the conditions and its performance in the long, wet annual grass we were harvesting, I must admit that this does seem somewhat strange. The only explanation I can come up with is around design patents and brands and manufacturers sticking with what they know.

Key features that make the trailing pickup a winner in terms of design include outstanding ground following (with two jockey wheels at the side of the pickup and up to four following) and how smoothly the head follows the ground.

Should you need to work on the tines, this is surprisingly straightforward as the backside of the pickup is open, so you don’t have to go removing tine bands before starting work. Having operated another brand of loader wagon previously, Hawke commented that repair and maintenance on the Schuitemaker over the last three or so years it has been in operation is considerably less than what the

contractor would have budgeted to spend on its previous brand of loader wagon. Factoring in these savings helps keep the total cost of ownership down, which is always a big plus.

Operation As the pickup is under the floor, I reckon it’s a little difficult to see what’s going on compared to a pickup out the front of the wagon. However, Hawke assures me this isn’t an issue, as the wagon follows the ground so well that it pretty much looks after itself.

Some of the benefits here include being easier to operate in general, as well as going easier on the tines through undulating ground.

Being mounted beneath the floor, the Schuitemaker loader wagon is also more compact than rival brands. Those working within the agricultural industries will understand that while gear has got bigger to become more efficient, not all farm gateways have kept up.

The seven rows of tines on the two-metre pickup and hydraulically driven rapid flow intake roller feed the two-metre-wide seven-row star-shaped feed rotor. The drop floor design cuts down the distance forage has to travel before filling the 38 cubic metre capacity wagon. The knife bank is mounted on top of the rotor, with a total of 43 easily reversed double edge knives, giving a cut length of 4.4cm. The knife bank is in three sections, allowing options as to how many knives are required for the cut length wanted.

Test time On the day we visited, Hawke paired the Schuitemaker with one of his Fendt 724s, also

Customers can choose auto loading to maximise each load volume

equipped with a front mower for a single pass cut and carry operation. With around 240hp (179kW) available, the Fendt was well suited to the job without being too large. On flat ground, you may get away with less horsepower, but on hills, you may want more or to change the way you harvest the paddock to make life easier.

The in-cab, colour touchscreen monitor is thankfully straightforward, and having key functions such as floor, rear door and pickup on dual joysticks makes operation even easier.

Conversely, ISOBUS connection allows you to run through the tractor screen/terminal and assign functions to hydraulics to suit individual preferences.

A 1,000 power take-off speed runs the pickup and rotor, which was still running well after three years of consistent use (as mentioned before, with less maintenance than previous brands in the Hawke fleet).

Being used to having a pickup following behind the tractor where it can be seen, I would have said it was detrimental not being able to see the pickup mounted under the floor. However, given the unarguably tidy job carried out on long wet annual grass, the Schuitemaker Rapide 580 may have proven me wrong. Not only does it do a good job but it’s also easier for the driver through undulating terrain and can be operated with a higher forward speed, meaning it covers the ground faster.

Another benefit of slightly higher ground speed is less bruising and damage of grass when harvesting.

It’s of key importance for the team at Phil Hawke Contracting to be able to provide an efficient service and to be able to utilise feed for dairy farmers as a cut and carry machine.

F In the paddock, the steered pendulum axles did the job well. These are pretty standard now on a lot of silage wagons and trailers. The unique design of the Schuitemaker is the steering rear axle, which pivots from just behind the pivot point of the pendulum, helping with manoeuvrability through gates/yards and also minimising damage to pasture in the paddock.

Lights are standard on the rear for road operation and additional lights on the sides help for night-time operation when unloading. Unloading is another strong point of the Schuitemaker Rapide 580, with the rear door lifting clear up and out of the way.

Even after three years in use, the four roller chains with welded-on slats and the original chains are

still in good working order on this machine. Dual drives and a system that works a bit like a differential, providing drive to whichever side has the greatest resistance, has proved valuable when getting large loads of maize out and into the stack in quick order.

Options If you’re after the ultimate machine for your needs, you will probably have to order it, as there are quite a few options to choose from. Starting from the bottom: larger tyres to decrease soil compaction.

The trailing pickup offers options between two and six wheels on the pickup (up to four of these behind the tines to prevent damage and help with optimal ground following).

Not an option chosen on this machine, but available when ordering, is a hydraulic moveable front bulkhead. This is ideal during maize harvesting when opening up paddocks.

Moving up from the 100 Series range to the 1000 Series, customers can choose auto loading to maximise each load volume. Minimal fodder damage is taken care of, thanks to sensors on the front panel and torque in the rotor tube to precisely move floor chains, reducing fuel consumption and ease of operation for the operator.

As it is, I believe you can get dual rear beaters to speed up unloading. These are standard with the ‘V’ model diet feeders, which are equipped with a rear conveyor for in-barn feeding (for the likes of goats).

To the top of the machine, auto-closing covers are

probably an option worth looking at if you intend to use on roads (and staying on the right side of regulations regarding secure loads).

Summary A lot of contractors doing grass silage also do maize silage, so being able to make use of machinery for multiple tasks makes good financial sense. With the services offered by Phil Hawke Contracting, the Schuitemaker Rapide 580 seems to be a perfect fit, offering it as an easy-to-operate loader wagon, with the flexibility to be used for grass harvesting or cut and carry jobs.

Topping it all off is the fact it also delivers on good manoeuvrability, as well as a high capacity for working next to a forage harvester for grass and maize hauling.

Schuitemaker Although the company dates back further, Schuitemaker first produced a multi-purpose loader/ silage wagon back in 1986, progressing through to the Rapide models available today. Today’s offerings consist of three ranges: 10, 100, and 1000 Series.

The 10 Series are aimed more at individual farmers, the 100 Series is more of an entry-level contractor machine, and the high-spec 1000 Series machines are suited for high-capacity contractor.

Schuitemaker’s dealer in Australia is Greg Allan Farm Machinery in Colac, Victoria.

Opinion

Plagues and people There are signs that a resurgence of the mouse plague in Australia is imminent. Is it time to control mice in same way as rabbits?

By definition, a plague is: • a contagious bacterial disease characterised by fever and delirium; or • an unusually large number of insects or animals infesting a place and causing damage.

Plagues and People, a 1976 book by William McNeill, is a great read for anyone interested in the extraordinary political, demographic, ecological and psychological impacts of disease on human cultures.

For instance, the conquest of Mexico was as much impacted by the rapid spread of smallpox as by the Spanish conquistadors, while the bubonic plague drove the end of feudalism in Europe and there’s no doubt COVID-19 was in part responsible for the removal of Donald Trump from the US Presidency.

In the animal kingdom plagues can occur in certain species, which can breed quickly in response to an overabundance of food often caused by weather events like La Niña.

2021 will be remembered as one of the great plague years right up there with the Toowoomba and Darling Downs Plague of 1996, which caused an estimated $3 billion dollars worth of damage to crops.

The first European house mice (Mus musculus) in Australia are supposed to have arrived with the First Fleet back in 1788, but other sources claim they just as likely came out on James Cook’s Endeavour in 1770 or even earlier still on Dutch ships crashing into the Western Australian coast.

Whichever way they got here, they offered the local native rat and mice population (57 species back then, 47 today) some real competition when it came to who could breed the fastest when the seasonal conditions were right.

As it stands, the Australia’s native long-haired rat (Rattus villosissimus) had been doing the boom and bust thing for around 500 million years but nothing on the scale of what we are experiencing today with the house mouse.

This is because only certain species of rats and mice have the biology and social structure that

Is it time for biological control of the European house mouse?

Trevor Whittington, CEO WAFarmers

allows them to suddenly ramp up their breeding when the times are right.

Certain breeds can extend their breeding season and have bigger litters; knocking out 6–10 pups at six weeks of age and then continue breeding every 20 days for their 12-month lifespan.

This means two animals can become 1,250 within 12 months.

A mouse population density of about 800–1,000 mice/ha is considered a mouse plague. Anything over 200 mice/ha is said to cause economic damage.

We have records of rodent plagues in Australia going back to the Burke and Wills expedition of 1861, as one of the expedition members, William Brahe, was asked as to why there was no trace to be found of the two explorers during an inquiry into the doomed venture. He explained simply: “From the number of rats.”

In 1879, following a likely La Niña event, the correspondent for the South Australia’s Northern Argus newspaper reported: “There are rats of every size, rank and denomination, from the grey-headed

old general, the leader of a battalion, to the young recruit… They invade every place, respecting no thing and no person.”

In 1940, another La Niña year, the longest and most intense rat plague occurred. It was reported that rats pried open “seven-pound tea tins” on shop shelves and chewed the wool off sheep’s backs.

Post-war the expanding impact of land clearing reduced the habitat of the long haired rat that was prone to break out in plague numbers, only to be replaced by increasingly large European house mouse plagues, which found the open paddocks with lots of straw cover a fine place to breed.

With harvest around the corner, the challenge will be how farmers can keep the latest mouse plague out of their grain bags and hay bales, as even the most intensive baiting is often not enough to keep them at bay.

With mice plagues set to continue their boom/bust cycle maybe it’s time for the federal government to look for a biological solution to a big plague, similar to the work they did that identified myxomatosis (1950) and calicivirus (1995) for the control of rabbits.

The challenge will be to target the non-native mice, which might be a big ask but if the government does come up with a control agent no doubt there will be the usual screams of protest from the animal rights activists.

Recall the calls by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) who, earlier this year, pleaded with farmers to not kill the pests, but to use humane traps to allow them to be caught gently and released unharmed.

Putting aside the naivety of activists the government should be looking at ways to manage plague mice because, if nothing else, they have the ability to carry a wide range of diseases that can cause serious illness and death.

And, as the book Plagues and People outlines, diseases that get out of control can have major political ramifications.

Feature Kioti PX1153 tractor

Whether it’s a sub-compact tractor or its larger 115 horsepower model, Kioti tractors keep on delivering

Workhorse If you’re on a small acreage, clearing a bush block or moving building materials around a work or house site, Kioti’s standout CS2610 sub-compact tractor is built tough to help out.

At the other end of the Kioti range, the powerful PX1153 really is the next step forward; a versatile tractor that will adapt to the requirements of your farming operation, excelling in a host of applications.

First, let’s go over the Kioti CS2610. This model is exported worldwide and it’s easy to understand why. Whether mowing, shifting materials or debris, digging or grading driveways, this cleverlydesigned 26 horsepower (18kW), multi-functional lifestyle tractor will save hours of labour.

Kioti has been a diesel engine manufacturer since 1947 and knows Australian conditions well. The company has produced an eco-friendly engine that generates power and solid torque, yet remains remarkably light on fuel consumption.

The distinctive, vertically opening hood on the CS2610 enables trouble-free access for inspection and maintenance.

The tractor has overall ground clearance of 162cm and a top forward speed of 16 km/h. Options include a mid-mount mower with 152cm mowing width, backhoe and four-in-one front end loader, boasting 318kg lifting capacity. The CS2610 is also one of the heaviest machines in its class, adding to the sense of operator confidence, with stability and traction across many tasks.

The rear 540 rpm power take-off (PTO) and high capacity three-point hitch are perfect for attaching implements – sprayers, slashers, cultivators and more – while employing a loader is made easy with a responsive joystick control and a button to open and close the bucket. What’s more, 4WD is standard and a single lever engages 4WD mode.

Intuitive and logical, the workstation on the CS2610 is ergonomically designed for comfort and safety. Twin hydrostatic transmission pedals provide for super easy forward and reverse movement with smooth engagement, acceleration and deceleration. Importantly, pedal pressure is minimised and, coupled with power steering, reduces fatigue if doing repetitive work.

Ash Goulding, from Coffs Harbour in New South Wales, picked up his Kioti CS2610 from North Coast Construction Equipment. He’s on five acres but is about to move to a bigger property.

“The Kioti I bought has a bucket on the front, a mower underneath and a digger on the back. We’re

about to move to 20 acres so it’ll be handy – it’s the perfect size for landscaping and the mower is ideal,” he says.

“I use the bucket to move landscaping materials around the property, mostly to build retaining walls, and the underdeck mower is great because it’s hilly and a bit steep in places here. The CS2610 is bulletproof, really. You can’t kill it and they seem to hold their price well. I like the look of it, too.”

Then there is the PX1153, Kioti’s most powerful tractor.

Innovation and refinement accompany each upgrade and the rugged and dependable PX1153 evolved from the popular PX1052. Producing a turbo-charged 115hp (86kW), it has bigger hydraulic pumps and radials, electronic rear linkage, threepoint hitch external control and a truly impressive 3,630kg lift capacity.

By way of grunt, the PX1153 is fitted with a renowned Perkins engine. This is a 4.4 litre, four-cylinder Perkins, married via a wet clutch to Kioti’s own 32F/32R transmission, featuring power shuttle. For operator convenience, by engaging the hand clutch, the main gear lever can be shifted without using the clutch pedal.

Step into the deluxe cabin and note the panoramic windshield, air suspension seat and ventilating roof panel. Visibility is excellent, both

ahead and behind. The front-end loader is joystick controlled and comes standard with a four-in-one bucket. Note, also, the ergonomic layout and colour coding of the levers for easy operation.

Competitive pricing rounds off this superb offering, with the PX1153 equipped with standard features that are extra on most utility tractors – or only found on bigger machines – such as the de-clutch button, air-conditioned cab, cool box and the integrated loader joystick.

James Dunbier, from Taree in New South Wales, bought a Kioti PX1153 at the start of 2021 and a PX1052 more recently. He uses his Kiotis for hay work, mulching and silage.

“The Kioti tractors are easy to use, with not too many electronics on them and I like the Perkins engine; I’ve always been a fan of the Perkins motors. Put simply, they do the job. I like the 100 horsepower range because I can tow everything with it,” says Dunbier.

Powering productivity With 12 John Deeres in its combined machinery fleet, cotton and wheat grower Hutchinson Ag makes the most of the company’s Connected Support offering Based near Moura in Central Queensland, mixedfarming enterprise Hutchinson Ag says the industryleading remote diagnostics and backup delivered through John Deere’s Connected Support package is helping it to power productivity.

About half of the 4,500 hectares of mixed, sandy loam and black-clay soils farmed by Hutchinson Ag across Glendale and Macander on the Dawson River is under irrigation and encompasses production of 235 hectares of wheat and 1,800 hectares of cotton. The balance is used for dryland cropping and beef cattle production.

Run by brothers Chris, Brian and Greg Hutchinson, alongside their father David, the business relies primarily on two CP690 cotton pickers and one 7760 cotton picker to service the business’ cotton production, as well as a powerful fleet of tractors including two 8345Rs and 8R340, 8345RT, 8370RT, 8420 models. The full equipment line up is rounded off with an R4038 sprayer and two Gator Utility Vehicles: a 625i and an 855D. With so many machines in the field, Chris says Connected Support is critical technology to the business.

“Through this tool, our local dealership has been able to really look after us,” he says.

“If there is a problem, they can look into it for us straight away and either give us pointers on how to fix it, or ensure when they come out to the farm, they have the right tools for the job.

“All in all, it has saved us a lot of time.”

Through Connected Support’s Remote Display Access (RDA), technicians can not only monitor Diagnostic Trouble Codes but also ensure operators have the correct settings enacted in the cab to maximise machinery performance.

“We usually employ up to three backpackers, so if there’s a problem or they are having trouble linking screens, they can be helped remotely without someone having to drive out to where they are and showing them,” says Chris.

Connected Support’s Expert Alert system has the power to predict and prevent certain mechanical issues, avoiding costly repair bills or damage to the equipment, as the dealership is instantaneously notified and can take proactive action.

It’s a function Chris describes as a “safety net”.

“Receiving up-to-date machine information is

always useful and, through JDLink, we have had alerts come directly through to our phones, such as low hydraulic oil on the machine, so we can act immediately,” he says.

“Any alert, from a low-fuel level type thing to something serious, all comes through, and we can get onto it as soon as we can.”

Hutchinson Ag has a focus on precision agriculture and, through Connected Support, Chris has been able to ensure settings in his machines’ cabs are optimised.

This includes having the right parameters set for the AutoTrac Implement Guidance system, to keep implements on a controlled line, even if the tractor drifts off it.

“AutoTrac Implement Guidance has really helped us because you can put a backpacker in the machine and, because of the technology, you’ll have straight rows despite their inexperience in operating that particular equipment,” says Chris.

Good sense

Dan Buzatu (presenting) explains that ifm’s io-key allows for easy and convenient remote monitoring of water systems

The range of sensors on offer from ifm allows farmers to develop their own independent monitoring systems – and that’s just the beginning In a world where remote monitoring and automation is becoming increasingly common at all levels of industry, there are still simple problems – and straightforward solutions.

Dan Buzatu is the national technical sales manager for the Australian arm of ifm, one of the world’s leading specialist automation technology developers, and a person who has worked with some of Australia’s largest factories and mining groups.

How, then, to deal with the age-old problem of monitoring water levels in a stock dam, as the company was asked a few years ago?

Buzatu says a complex device might not be the best solution – noting the one being used by the farmer in this example was not only complicated, but required a specialist to install.

Instead, ifm’s io-key was able to take data from two water-monitoring sensors directly, sending it to the farmer by SMS. It’s one of many uses for the miniature monitor, which can connect to up to two sensors and send information direct to the farmer at anything from daily to 10-second intervals.

“With this device, the farmer can go there and put it there with a solar-powered battery, if he hasn’t got a power supply, and that’s it – leave it on,” says Buzatu.

“You don’t really need IT infrastructure, it has

got an electronic SIM, like most new phones usually have, and it connects to whatever network is available.”

Buzatu adds that the units have also been used to monitor the function of pumps – alerting the owner to anything out of the norm, as well as refilling water tanks once they reach a certain level.

“Basically, you can also do some early mod

We want to make a farmer’s life less complex and more efficient

controls – if the farmer wants to control a gate or a pump they can do that too, but it is primarily used for remote viewing,” he says.

“There are a few applications that it has been used on around the world – level measurement on tanks like feed silos and water trucks [for example]. They all have one thing in common: they should be refilled at some point. So, if it is as simple as saying “I am becoming empty” without requiring a person to go all the way there and check, that is a good thing.”

The sensors may also be used for predictive maintenance, he adds, detecting vibration caused by damaged bearings or unbalancing in motors or pumps situated remotely.

“Up until now it has been quite time consuming and expensive to equip the remote systems part of monitoring with sensors in order to analyse the signals afterwards,” says Buzatu.

“Simply, we want to make a farmer’s life less complex and more efficient, and that is what this unit does.”

The io-key can be powered by a solar battery when operating remotely, sending reports via a choice of SMS or email alerts – or to ifm’s user-friendly dashboard, which can be viewed on a computer or mobile device.

All-round solutions Ultimately, Buzatu adds, while the io-key is a starting point for complex applications, it is just one component of a much wider product offering with potential applications for farms.

With sensors and data-sharing devices developed for a range of purposes, he adds that the company takes pride in advising on the solutions it can offer.

“Most of the time the advice that comes up for a simple application is: yes, we can develop a package for you – whether you want two sensors or if there

ifm is developing a new gateway ISOBUS system for OEMs

is one sensor required for this one… we can even put together a video, and advise the positions to mount the sensors if required,” says Buzatu.

With experience covering small enterprises to some of the world’s leading factories, global automation specialists, ifm has the systems in place to develop solutions to almost any problem.

For agricultural applications, these include water flow sensors for pumps and irrigators, heat and humidity sensors for silos and storage, inclination sensors for fences and other infrastructure – and many more.

“We know very well lots of farmers buy a second-hand tractor and tow implements – they can’t all afford to have 20 new machines in the back,” says Buzatu.

To that end, ifm is also developing a new ISOBUS gateway system that the company is hoping will be available in Australia in 2022.

Adi Kunder, ifm’s product sales manager for mobile control systems, says the initial plan is to aim the product towards Australia’s ag machinery manufacturers, but added that research and development work is still underway.

“Over the years, we have found that there are a number of small- to medium-sized original equipment manufacturers [OEMs] that make implements – they may make

12–20 per year, and that is a lot for them.”

Kunder adds that while every equipment manufacturer knew the ISOBUS communication protocol technology that allows data to be shared to a control panel in tractors, the system remains very complex, and out of reach for some of the smaller developers.

“Usually, the end user will have a tractor and they

This will just display the information on the tractor virtual terminal or display

want to connect this implement to the tractor, and then make whatever information is available on the implement available on the tractor screen,” says Kunder.

“From speaking to most of the small OEMs, it is very hard to get that information on the tractor screen because it is really complicated.”

The ifm ISOBUS Agrimate is a gateway system, Kunder explains, that allows manufacturers to connect ifm’s automation systems to ISOBUS displays – saving OEMs the

time and effort of developing brand new software systems on their own.

“We take that complexity away by having this gateway where they don’t need to know anything about ISOBUS, they just need to know how to code and control their system using our PLC – which we can train them on – and that’s it, and this will just display the information on the tractor virtual terminal or display,” says Kunder.

“They can also have some sort of automation on their implements as a starting step and they can even display everything on the screen – it’s basic, but it can be displayed.

“We want this to be a starting step for some of those small to medium OEMs as a step towards automation and then more automation and evolve with it, but we offer a basic section at the start, so that is where we fit in.”

As the company continues its development of the product, Buzatu says he’s confident that it will join a range that offers a series of new opportunities across the Australian agricultural sector.

“We are really happy to talk with people so we can work out what they need – often there is a need behind that need as well, so then we can work it out and we can address it,” he says.

“We are happy to talk with people and to discuss their applications with them and ultimately come to a solution.”

Fount of knowledge Veldonas Pumps has years of experience designing the right systems for farms across Australia. We pick up some tips One wrong decision with a choice of pump system and the result could be “tens of thousands of dollars replacing pipes” or even property loss, according to Veldonas director Gatis Gregors.

The Melbourne-based business, which has 25 years of history and a customer base across Australia, builds pump systems to order, with more than half of its customers being from the agricultural sector.

Gregors says the benefit of having a system built to order is the knowledge that it has been customised to fit your individual needs.

“Every setup is different and we work with the customer to determine exactly what flow rates and what pressure is required for their piping installations, which could vary dramatically,” he says.

“It could be something that is quite local and you need quite a lot of water for discharging through sprinklers or some other measures, or it can be running many kilometres through different pipes.

“They have to really determine what sort of setup they are planning and have a very good idea of what distance they’re trying to pump through, what pipe size they’re trying to pump through, what heights they’re trying to pump up to and also what distances they’re drawing water from, what type of water and also the heights from the pump set to the water source. Those are all critical in determining the right solution.”

The stakes are high when it comes to selecting the right pump system, with the consequences of a wrong choice ranging from unnecessary downtime and financial loss to potentially something more tragic if a bushfire was to occur.

“If you don’t get the right solution, the pump literally won’t operate,” says Gregors.

“It won’t pump the amount of water that is required and there is the possibility of the unit actually seizing up and not operating it at all.

“In certain circumstances, if their setup is not as per what they’ve discussed there’s the prospect

of overpressurising discharge lines and blowing them up.

“There are a multitude of different things that can go wrong and you’re looking at tens of thousands of dollars replacing pipes and things like that and there is also the prospect of losing properties and losing assets.”

For anyone involved in the agricultural sector, change and adaptability are common themes in the quest to protect and grow these assets.

The evolution of technology, along with the need to adapt to nature’s variability and unpredictable rainfall, has opened up possibilities and changed traditional methods in many ways.

One way this has enhanced pump systems is the addition of remote starting, which has particular importance in bushfire emergencies when physical access may be blocked.

“The primary thing we get from farmers is protecting their built assets from any fires,” says Gregors.

“There are all sorts of systems to deal with that are automated starts and remote starts from a distance, whether it’s by phone or by fob.

“These units can be started up from a distance away just in case fire does encroach on the property. You can be in Germany and start a pump in Australia if you wanted to.

“In saying that, a lot of farmers also want some quite basic units they can work on without getting a computer engineer involved.

“There are the old standards people want and there are other units that require a great deal of technology and planning.”

While its base is in the western Melbourne suburb of Sunshine, Veldonas has customers across Australia.

This means the company deals with farmers in different states with different climate systems and whose needs can sometimes be the exact opposite.

“The market requirements change all the time, depending on the sets of circumstances,” says Gregors.

Veldonas offers a wide range of pumping systems

“For instance, it can be drought in southern parts of Australia and you’re looking at pumping water from whatever water source is available into dams to feed stock and irrigate crops.

“In the north, there can be a monsoon and you’re looking at trying to get rid of water; basically getting pumps to try and dislodge water that is flooding areas.

“It can be different solutions for different localities and it just depends what circumstances exist at the time.”

Gregors estimates between 50 to 60 per cent of Veldonas’ total business comes from the agricultural sector but the company also deals with customers in mining, civil and power supply.

Within the agricultural sector, these climate and water supply differences, plus varying technological needs, means there is not a ‘one size fits all’ approach to the pumps Veldonas supplies.

Gregors believes what sets the company apart is the wide range of products that can be offered, plus the attention to detail in making sure the customer gets the best option.

“We do volume transfer units, we do multi-stage pumps for high pressure, we do centrifugal pumps, we do effluent pumps and we do helical rotor or positive displacement pumps,” he says.

“We do all these sort of things, whereas some other companies may only do one or two of them because they have a particular product they’re linked to but we offer wide-ranging solutions.

“In terms of backup as well, if people have questions about their setup when it gets out on site, they can always give us a ring and we always try to be as helpful as possible in terms of giving advice regarding the functioning or setup they might have.”

With 35 years of experience, W&P Pumps knows the perfect pump for every appliction

Choosing the right pump for the right job can be the difference between success and failure, so getting the right advice is crucial, according to W&P Pumps Getting the right information and advice before purchasing a pump is the most important part of the process, W&P Pumps owner Wayne Surplice believes.

Surplice speaks with 35 years of industry experience, having started W&P Pumps as a family business in 1986 in the northern Victorian town of Kyabram. Since then, he has seen plenty of change in the industry, witnessed the most common mistakes and built a wealth of knowledge about what to do – and what not to do.

He says the best approach with any new customer is for both parties to get as much information as possible about what the pump’s intended use is.

“Getting the right advice and information so you know what you are getting for your money is very important,” says Surplice.

“Sometimes a job might seem more expensive, but from a longevity point of view it isn’t because you have fewer breakdowns.

“The first thing I’d do is ask ‘where are you pumping the water from, how far are you pumping the water and how often?'

“You want to ask whether you’re pumping out of a reuse dam, whether you are pumping direct out of a Goulburn Murray water channel system and how far your pipes and risers are going because that has a big bearing on your pipe size.

“The further you pump water in a pipeline, generally the bigger you need the pipe so you don’t get too much friction in the pipeline.”

The crucial part of the process, and where W&P Pumps’ knowledge comes in, is “selecting the right pump for the job”.

“There are many different types of pumps and in the industry we see a lot of wrong pumps selected for the job, which creates abnormal wear and tear and impacts the longevity of the pump’s life,” says Surplice.

“Selecting the right pipe size is important – too small a pipe puts undue pressure on the pump and won’t be as efficient.

The starting point is to find out what the pump will be used for

“Suction lines are also very important. If you put too small a suction line on your pump it will cavitate and damage the impeller.

“It won’t pump as efficiently and will damage the bearings in the pump.

“Bearing failures are the most common breakdown and I’d say 60 per cent of that is poor pump selection or undersized suction lines causing cavitation.”

After 35 years in the industry, there is no doubt that plenty has changed.

Surplice highlights the replacement of steel pipes with polyethylene as one of the major industry shifts, along with technology such as automation

and remote starting of pumps and motors, plus more efficient uses of water.

There have also been systemic changes in the types of piping and pump systems that have been used, with W&P Pumps adapting to changes in the market.

“There are a lot more pipe and riser systems in now, so channels have been slowly closed down,” Surplice says.

“When people start their pump up it’s more efficient, so water is coming out the end of the pipeline rather than having to fill a complete channel up and wasting water.

“There are a lot more centre pivots and drip irrigation – we’ve moved into that market at all.

“That’s a bit of a shift for our business and we’ve put a fantastic young fella on who is doing a great job.

“We’ve moved into spray irrigation, whereas predominantly it was flood before.

“That’s just responding to the shift in the market because you’ve got to be able to cater for everybody.”

To stand the test of time and still be going strong after 35 years in a country town, and now employing 25 full-time workers, speaks to a focus on customer service and creating loyalty.

Surplice says a strong supply of local spare parts, around-the-clock breakdown service and an attitude of accountability are crucial to keeping customers happy.

“Anything we sell, we service, and the buck stops with us,” he says.

“If a customer rings us at 6am on Sunday morning, someone will answer the phone.

“We always have a technician on call and we’re not the sort of business that switches our phones off on the weekends.

“We’ve got fantastic backup service and we keep a lot of spare parts in stock. If there is a breakdown, we’ve normally got the parts on the shelf.

“We sell Legend motors and we’ve got spare parts on hand in Kyabram, not in Melbourne or Sydney or elsewhere.”

The cost of meeting compliance obligations will be reduced through utilising automation on digital tracing platforms, as well as using sensors and other remote technologies to augment existing export processing audit requirements.

Cash boost Three new CSIRO missions to invest $150 million in sector The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) has announced three new research missions and $150 million in investment, focusing on drought, the food export market and growing the protein market.

These new missions will aim to: • reduce the impacts of drought by 30 per cent • increase the value of Australian agrifood exports by $10 billion • produce an additional $10 billion of high-quality protein products by 2030.

“For over a century, CSIRO has been working with farmers and governments to improve life on this great land – but today we’re bringing all of our newest science and technology, from artificial intelligence to genetics and smart materials, to bear on overcoming our oldest national challenge – drought,” says CSIRO chief executive Dr Larry Marshall.

CSIRO chief executive Dr Larry Marshall

“Overcoming the impacts of drought, protecting the authenticity of Australian products and inventing whole new markets will grow one of our most important national industries.

“Australia has a natural competitive advantage in ‘ag-tech’, the way Silicon Valley does in ‘tech’ – these missions leverage that advantage to grow those local companies and grow the quality of life for Australians working in them.”

Launched in August 2020, CSIRO’s Missions Program is focused on finding solutions to six challenges facing Australia – health and wellbeing,

Mission leads left to right: Michelle Colgrave – future protein; Ryan McAllister – trusted agrifood exports; and Graham Bonnett – drought resilience

food security and quality, national security, the resilience of Australia’s environment, the sustainability of energy and resources, and the future of the country’s industries.

Increasing drought resilience In the first of the three new missions, looking into ways to increase Australia’s drought resilience, researchers will look into new farming systems that use water more efficiently, technologies to secure regional water supplies and new tools based on localised climate data that will make farming into the future easier.

Farmers will be assisted in making more informed decisions based on climate data for their location, new farming systems to improve water use efficiency and options to minimise risk.

Researchers will try to find ways to help farmers make better informed decisions, using climate data for their specific locations

There will also be research into improving regional strength, including the creation of a climate-resilient regional water supply and community transition planning to diversify economies and protect natural capital resources.

The mission will also develop information and systems that underpin policy response and recognise international solutions to shared problems.

Increasing agrifood exports The second mission, which aims to improve the value of agrifood exports, will improve access to high-value markets through new isotopic fingerprinting tools that can support proof of origin for food and verify its clean and green credentials.

The mission will also reduce the cost of meeting export requirements through new automated systems that use sensors and other remote technologies.

Market access will be improved through the development and testing of new approaches to meet the regulatory requirements of Australia’s trading partners, and to give Australia access to as many export markets as possible. Trade barriers under consideration include pest, disease and food safety standards, as well as sustainability and animal welfare benchmarks.

Research will focus on removing barriers to meeting food export standards

A national provenance database will also be developed as a repository for information needed to independently test and verify supply chain information. This will support validation of origin of production based on food samples, or confirm the physical product is accurately linked to its digital record.

Increasing protein exports The third mission, which aims to increase the output of protein products, will protect and grow existing livestock and aquaculture industries, develop new plant-based products and use new technologies, such as biomanufacturing, to create new proteins or even transform waste products into high value food products.

CSIRO says that there is the opportunity to take advantage of a growing Australian plant protein market, valued at $150 million in 2019 but predicted to reach $4 billion by 2030, creating 6,000 jobs.

Team effort In order to successfully implement these missions, CSIRO is working with a range of partners, from state governments, industry organisations and universities to industry partners and start-ups.

“MLA is focused on building a new frontier for the Australian red meat sector, that will contribute to the sector doubling its value by 2030, develop innovative clean food technologies and build new markets here in Australia and internationally,” says Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) managing director Jason Strong. MLA is involved in both the agrifood and protein missions.

Jason Strong, Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) managing director

Marshall adds: “Overcoming challenges of this size takes a Team Australia approach, which is why we’re proud to have so many collaborators on board to help Australian agriculture become more resilient, more profitable, and to produce food that is more plentiful and healthier for Australians and our customers around the world.”

News HORTICULTURE

The map is built via the integration of industry data, image analytics, ground validation and citizen science

Green guide A comprehensive map of Australia’s horticulture facilities will help support biosecurity and market accessibility, developers say A national high-tech map for horticulturalists is being developed in a bid to improve biosecurity preparedness and natural disaster response efforts.

The initiative – the National Protected Cropping Map (NPCM) – is being developed by Hort Innovation in conjunction with the University of New England’s (UNE) Applied Agricultural Remote Sensing Centre (AARSC) and will capture the location of horticulture infrastructure and farms in every state and territory of Australia.

Hort Innovation says the NPCM will show the location of commercial, polytunnels, shade houses, glasshouses and permanent nets across the country.

The map has been backed by agricultural bodies including Protected Cropping Australia, Future Food Systems CRC and Greater Sydney and North Coast Local Land Services, all of which will also

help involved farmers with production planning.

Hort Innovation head of research and development Byron De Kock says the initiative was launched to create a comprehensive national protected cropping map of Australia, given none currently exists.

“A concerning knowledge gap of most Australian agricultural industries is a lack of understanding of the distribution and area of individual crops,” says De Kock.

“Knowing where crops are located supports improved response to biosecurity incursions including the establishment of exclusion zones and the coordination of on-ground surveillance, and for quantifying the area of crops affected following a natural disaster.”

In order to facilitate the map’s development, both Hort Innovation and UNE are urging horticulture

growers around the country to contribute to the creation of the tool.

UNE project lead, professor Andrew Robson says a similar tool, developed by UNE and Hort Innovation, is already in use within the tree cropping industry and has been useful in providing information to the industry.

“This map is built via the integration of industry data, image analytics, ground validation and citizen science. It meets Australian mapping standards, is freely available and respects growers’ privacy by not including any personal grower or crop information,” says Robson.

“This exciting output and collaboration will again raise Australian horticulture as international leaders of the adoption of emerging technologies.”

With data such as crop types, types of structures and growing systems available, an accurate measurement of protected cropping will enable the industry to improve.

Locality information will also provide valuable information around value-chains, transport, market accessibility and traceability.

The protected cropping map will offer a userfriendly platform via desktop or mobile, with the first version expected to be released early in 2022 and to be completed in 2023.

WD Drainage contractor Will Whishaw with the Mastenbroek 20/15 drainage trencher

HORTICULTURE

With the flow A five-year drainage project could see up to 38,250 cubic metres of water stored following a Tasmanian winter Work is underway on a five-year project in Tasmania that will divert drainage water to a reservoir for future use.

Tasmanian farmer Alistair Mitchelson has commissioned the project, which will create a natural flow of rainfall from his paddocks to the reservoir, rather than requiring him to pump the water there.

WD Drainage started the project at the beginning of the year, using a Mastenbroek 20/15 drainage trencher to carry out the work.

The first phase of the project, which wrapped up in March, had the potential to add 38,250 cubic metres of water to the reservoir during the three months of winter rainfall, says Mastenbroek spokesman Fred Clarke.

The stored water, equivalent to about 15 Olympic swimming pools, will be used in the summer months, which is likely to save Mitchelson a significant sum of money.

Clarke says the move to use drainage water to feed a centre pivot irrigation system was an exciting idea.

"The use of drainage water feeding a centre pivot irrigation system by WD Drainage is one of the most innovative projects I've seen in a long while," he says.

"By using the Trimble software installed on our 20/15 trencher, WD Drainage has been able to design and install a drainage system to retain water for irrigation, saving their client money and helping the environment at the same time.

“For me, it is a project that should inspire lots of other people as it shows how we can improve agricultural land and ensure that the precious water that is drained from the field can be stored for future use,” he adds.

Mastenbroek has worked with Trimble since 2010 when the two groups developed a GPS system for drainage trenchers.

Today all Mastenbroek trenchers are factory-ready for Trimble’s GPS machine control offering.

The Horticulture Business Capacity Program will aim to support and grow Western Australian horticultural businesses

HORTICULTURE Horticulture businesses in the country’s west are set to benefit from an innovative program launched by the Western Australian government

Ready to mow Launched by WA Premier Mark McGowan, the new Horticulture Business Capacity Program (HBCP) aims to develop business acumen and advance industry growth among organisations in the sector.

A sum of $800,000 has been allocated to the program, which will deliver business training to horticulture enterprises to ensure profitability across both the short- and long-terms.

The program will be a collaborative effort between the WA state government, Hort Innovation, Pomewest and VegetablesWA. “This targeted program will help lift the business skills of individual horticultural enterprises, while generating flow-on benefits to the broader industry,” says WA Minister for Agriculture and Food Alannah MacTiernan.

“Businesses can access high-quality advice and training to enhance the performance of their operations and the profitability of their enterprise.

“Our government is committed to investing in practical measures that support WA’s diverse horticulture industry to adapt to a rapidly changing operating environment to provide them with the best chance to grow and prosper.”

The HBCP will be delivered by experienced agricultural consultants and will include full business analysis as well as a 90-minute one-on-one session with an industry consultant.

Group training sessions, where participants can discuss common challenges in the horticulture space such as lack of transparency of market prices, labour supply and changes to water allocations, will also form part of the program.

Participants of the HBCP will develop skills such as business analysis and data collection while also receiving advice from industry experts and completing a farm management practice examination.

Industry benchmarking will be used throughout the program to identify business opportunities to modify and adapt their operations to improve profits margins, sustainability and business longevity.

The HBCP follows a VegetablesWA broadacre project that has run for the past three years.

GRANTS $8.4 million allocated by the Victorian government to support food production and distribution

Cash crop The Victorian government has allocated $8.4 million in grants to 13 industry and regional groups to help producers get their products to market sooner – the first tranche of its Food to Market program.

Global Victoria has contributed an additional $2.8 million to provide export recovery support to industries impacted by disruptions as a result of the pandemic.

The peak body for Victorian fresh vegetable exporters, AusVeg, has received $960,000 to commence a pilot in partnership with the Victorian government to investigate and trial alternative packaging and transport options.

Cherry Growers Australia has received $750,000 to support the development of a ‘Chemical Use for Export Toolkit’. The toolkit will help industry provide evidence-based, practical advice to Victorian businesses planning to export their produce so they can meet the expectations of international markets.

Citrus Australia and the Australian Table Grape Association received $1.4 million to lead two traceability pilots for premium fruit – in order to grow, diversify and protect high-value exports.

The pilots include using isotope testing, coolchain tracking and orchard mapping to enhance traceability. This will aim to safeguard the industry from fraudulent products and ensure that the integrity of Victorian premium fruit brands and varieties is protected.

The table grape traceability pilot – which commenced in June 2021 – will run for the duration

Ninety per cent of Australia’s table grape exports are generated by Victorian producers and exporters

of the 2021–22 table grape harvest season, and aims to build, diversify and protect exports by developing producer-to-consumer traceability.

Australia’s table grapes are the nation’s largest fresh horticulture export, valued at $800 million in total, with $623 million in exports. Ninety per cent of Australia’s table grape exports are generated by Victorian producers and exporters, for a value of $562 million across 152,000 tonnes of table grape exports.

Fruit Master, a large Australian producer and exporter, will apply traceability technology and cool chain tracking to premium fruit brands and varieties across table grape exports this upcoming season.

Technology provider Result Group will apply unique serialised GS1 Digital Link-enabled QR code labels to export table grapes, allowing the automated collection of data from farm and supply chain, which can be shared with consumers to authenticate the food’s precise origin and engage with the brand through an open platform smartphone scan.

The Active Digital Identity embedded in the QR code labels ensures each one is unique and traceable, which can help reduce food fraud. Labels will also carry critical international traceability data, based on GS1 current standards, covering consumer pack units, cases and pallet codes, as well as time and temperature logging, which will be captured through the Evrythng Product Cloud database.

“The Food to Market program is an excellent example of how we are providing timely support to agribusinesses impacted by the pandemic, while capitalising on opportunities to expand into new markets over the longer term,” says Minister for Agriculture Mary-Anne Thomas.

Gnawing anxiety Mouse plagues could be about to hit grain growers across the nation – with farmers urged to take action as soon as possible Australian grain growing regions are again under pressure from resurgent mice numbers, which could threaten the winter crop harvest over the coming months, according to the CSIRO and Grains and Research Development Corporation (GRDC).

For much of 2021, large grain growing areas of New South Wales, as well as parts of southern Queensland and northern Victoria, have been subjected to mice plagues, which have wreaked continual havoc on crops.

And still, reports of reviving mice numbers throughout the country’s entire cropping zone at this time of year have raised concerns with industry experts.

Speaking at the GRDC Grains Research Update in early September, CSIRO research officer and mice control expert Steve Henry said warmer growing regions in Queensland, Western Australia and New South Wales have been particularly affected.

“It is a point of concern because winter is the time of year when mouse numbers should be at their lowest,” says Henry.

“If high numbers of mice are surviving through the winter that will cause issues when they start breeding in the spring.

“In conditions like we are seeing now – really good crops, good moisture levels, lots of food, lots of shelter – we know the rates of increase can be very dramatic.

“Unusually, there are a lot of mice in Western Australia – a place where they don’t historically get a lot of mice, but we are hearing reports of high mouse numbers from Geraldton, through the wheat belt and all the way down to Ravensthorpe.

“In Queensland, there are reports of patchy, high numbers of this time of year. I’m already hearing reports of baiting through parts of the Darling Downs. That will become particularly important as

There are warnings that mouse populations could surge across Australia

a large portion of the barley crop on the Downs has fallen over, which will lead to a lot of food being left in the system for mice.

“In NSW, it has been quieter through the winter but there are still concerns about higher numbers of mice than normal for this time of year.

“We are getting reports out of Walgett of really high numbers, and as you travel south through the cropping zone there are more and more places seeing mice at levels that are concerning.”

Other states such as Victoria, where mice reports have circulated north of Bendigo, and South Australia, where not many reports have been recorded, have been impacted to a lesser extent.

According to Henry, if figures were significant in early September, the breeding rate of mice will make them almost uncontrollable throughout October – urging farmers to investigate any presence on their farms as soon as possible.

“Get out of your ute, go and have a walk through your paddocks and look for the signs of mouse activity. You’re not going to see or accurately determine what is happening in your paddock with mice from the spray rig or other implements as you drive through the paddocks.

“The key ones you will see as the crop develops is damage at the node and chewed heads in cereal crops but also in canola crops and in legumes; you’re going to see chewing of flowers and chewing of pods.

“In spring, you need to determine the problem and be prepared to take action. The numbers you have now will determine the breeding potential of the mice. If you have high numbers now, the rate of

increase will be high.”

He also outlined other ways to minimise mouse numbers as well and suggested there is only a threeweek window from when farmers first identify mice and when it becomes a serious problem.

Minimising potential food sources for mice was key, with farmers able to reduce alternate food supplied by minimising grain spill during harvest, adopting seed destroyers and chaff lines, spraying out seed germinations and using sheep to reduce residual grain in stubbles.

“In conventional tillage systems where there were multiple cultivations, mice lived at the margins of paddocks and invaded paddocks when conditions were favourable. Now, with conservation tillage systems, mice live in the paddocks all year round and establish significant burrow networks,” Henry said.

Elsewhere, the NSW Farmers Association has continued to implore more farmers within the state to cash in on the $150 million support package from the NSW government to help recoup some of the financial outlays experience throughout the mice plagues.

The Zinc Phosphide Rebate for Primary Producers program is a one-off rebate for grain growers affected by the mice plague.

A survey by NSW Farmers found a third of respondents had losses between $50,000 to $150,000 as a result of the plague.

“I don’t want anyone to self-assess or not take up this support because they think it’s too hard – NSW Farmers has been talking to primary producers about the challenges and we’re thankful the RAA has listened to us,” says NSW Farmers vice president Xavier Martin.

“With another boom in mouse numbers on the way, it’s vital we get on top of the problem now.”

Production surge Good conditions in Australia, and poor conditions everywhere else, will see the value of Australian agricultural production rise $7 billion to $73 billion in 2021–22, according to government forecasts Australian agricultural production is forecast to be worth $73 billion in the 2021–22 financial year, according to new data from the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES).

The forecast is up from the $66 billion in agricultural production generated in the last financial year, with the value of ag exports predicted to reach $54.7 billion; also a new record.

If what has been forecast in ABARES’ Agricultural Commodities: September Quarter report comes true, it will be the first time the agriculture sector is valued at over $70 billion, says ABARES executive director Jared Greenville.

“The forecast for next year is due to a combination of factors, all tumbling neatly into place,” he says.

“The value of crop production is set to rise by seven per cent to $39.5 billion because of another near-record winter crop harvest, combined with strong global prices for grain, sugar and cotton.

“While there are risks related to mice, labour availability and continued uncertainties due to COVID-19, we are expecting national production to remain robust.”

The price of cotton is forecast to increase by 38 per cent

Greenville adds that he forecasts Australia will have “another robust harvest”, while poor harvests in North America and Europe, due to poor seasonal conditions, mean that grain prices are rising globally.

The price of cotton is forecast to surge 38 per cent, while that of canola and wool is also expected to rise 16 per cent over the course of the financial year.

The value of canola exports is actually expected to rise 50 per cent due to higher prices and an expansion in the area planted, while barley prices are expected to fall due to tariffs imposed by China.

“Strong domestic production and a favourable global market are set to see exports also hit a record of close to $55 billion in 2021–22,” says Greenville.

“The biggest contribution to growth in exports will be crops, which are set to rise by 17 per cent to $30 billion.”

Greenville adds that the value of livestock production is also tipped to rise to $33.5 billion,

an increase of eight per cent, as farmers enjoy record prices for young cattle. Should overseas conditions improve post 2021–22, it is likely that crop prices will come back down, ABARES adds.

The report identifies a lack of access to farm workers, trade challenges, increased international freight costs and the ongoing mouse plague as speed humps, but ones that were unlikely to take the shine off what should be an unprecedented positive result.

The report was welcomed by the National Farmers Federation (NFF), which said Australia was moving closer to reaching its target of $100 billion by 2030.

NFF president Fiona Simson says the data is confirmation of the sector’s strength, praising recent federal government moves to introduce a dedicated agriculture visa and to fund an expanded biosecurity system to protect the industry from introduced pests and diseases.

“Australian farmers are the most innovative in the world, committed to continuous improvement and to finding new ways to grow smarter, more efficiently and more sustainably,” she says.

Industry PRODUCTION Australian farmers may need to keep doing more with less, as ANZ raises concerns the country has reached its peak growing acreage

Milk production is expected to grow by 1.5 per cent in 2021–22

DAIRY Global demand for dairy is high and farmgate milk prices are at near-record levels in Australia, according to a new Rabobank report

Big cheese The potential for a major demand shock in the dairy sector is limited, Rabobank says in its Global Dairy Quarterly report – even though uncertainty related to COVID-19 is likely to continue.

Demand in China is said to be the likely cause of any downside in the global dairy market, with a slowdown in demand coming if the Chinese state reduces its import figures.

But the Chinese dairy market is strong currently, with domestic production and inventories continually increasing while supply is also expected to outpace demand in the nation, meaning imports may decline in the second half of this year.

“Global markets may be able to absorb lost sales through 2021, but pressure will be felt in 2022, initially in Oceania, but eventually rippling through global dairy markets,” says Rabobank in its report.

“The growth rate has been sustainable without becoming overly burdensome on markets so far, but any slowdown in global demand would quickly lead to inventory build.”

China’s likely decline in import figures means the world’s ‘near-term peak’ of dairy commodity prices is likely in the rear-view mirror. However, global milk supply continues to improve on an already ‘run of interrupted growth’ – albeit at a slower rate.

On farm, margins remain mixed across much of the globe, including in key markets of the United States and European Union, yet Australia continues to experience high enough milk prices to offset higher costs.

Michael Harvey, Rabobank’s senior dairy analyst, says the positive farm margins Down Under will lead to “healthy on-farm profitability”.

“Near-record milk prices, affordable purchased feed prices and supportive seasonal conditions have set many up for positive trading conditions ahead,” he says.

“We have revised up Rabobank’s farmgate milk price to A$7.05/kgMS for 2021–22. While this is broadly in line with the official farmgate milk prices range, it also takes into account the limited upside in global dairy markets for the remainder of this season.”

Harvey also says Aussie dairy farmers would be heading towards a peak in spring, with milk production expected to grow by 1.5 per cent in 2021–22.

The figure would see milk production reach 8.9 billion litres – a national high since 2017–18, however persistent lockdowns pose a threat to the consumer market.

“With the spring peak just around the corner, conditions on the farm remain very favourable with the latest seasonal outlooks pointing to average winter-spring rainfall in key production regions,” says Harvey.

“With a large proportion of consumers in lockdown due to the Delta variant, the Australian consumer market is on a rollercoaster. That said, pantryloading seems to be less pronounced this time round and dairy consumption seems to be holding firm in the face of all this uncertainty.”

Beyond the peak Forecasters have once again tipped Australia’s winter crop production to reach record levels this year – but some groups are predicting the country’s crop sector may soon be reaching its ceiling.

Two seasons of optimal weather conditions Down Under and a strong demand for Aussie grain driven by poor weather forecasts in northern hemisphere grain markets has the Australian grain industry on track to boast one its largest production volumes ever this winter.

However, such demand for Australian grain has led some within the industry to ponder whether or not grain production has reached its peak.

ANZ head of food, beverage and agribusiness insights Michael Whitehead says the industry may have reached a point of ‘peak acreage’, meaning the current grain cropping area is unlikely to rise much further in the future.

Whitehead argues that across much of the past decade, cropping acreage in Australia has plateaued when normally, it has generally been on an upward trend.

“While there was some volatility caused by drought during that period, cropping acreage would appear to have peaked in a band between 20 to 23 million hectares,” says Whitehead.

“Looking ahead, particularly over the next 10 years, the experience of the past decade would suggest that Australia’s main agri sectors are likely to remain at this level for the medium-term and possibly longer.

“Importantly, in contrast to the plateauing of Australian crop acreage, crop production levels show little signs of slowing in their overall growth.”

Figures released by ANZ in the September edition of its Grains Insight Paper suggests the ramifications of peak grain acreage will be widespread and even more so if global grain demand remains consistent.

Following the anticipated record levels of produc-

There are predictions that Australia’s grain production capability is reaching a peak

tion this year, industry professionals have warned about potential challenges that may arise over the coming winter harvests, suggesting the sheer volume of grains and oilseeds will require a ‘major concertation’ of machinery and labour.

The report also indicates implications could include an upward pressure on land prices, farm infrastructure, more demand for new biotechnologies to increase cropping yields and water infrastructure.

Despite the sector reaching peak cropping acreage, ANZ says that while the total grain area may have plateaued, yield production growth is still increasing and will be paramount to the agriculture industry reaching the government’s $100 billion sector goal.

“The outlook for production increases is strong.

Over the coming decade it would seem quite feasible that overall cropping production could lift by at least a further 20 per cent,” the report says.

ANZ says the peak cropping acreage also comes following a altering shift of the country’s breakdown, with wheat dropping 80 per cent in its acreage share to around 50 per cent today.

The country’s largest crops – wheat, along with barley and canola – the latter of which has increased 24 per cent for area planted this year to reach the third highest on record, according to the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics (ABARES) may see a reduction in their market share.

Instead, grain growers will turn toward the production of pulses such as chickpeas, lentils and beans, which have seen increases in popularity both domestically and internationally, driven by the plant-based protein market.

Industry STARTUPS Australian food and agtech entrepreneurs have been singled out for praise as part of Rabobank’s FoodBytes pitch program

CONFIDENCE Farmer sentiment is soaring, according to a new Rabobank Survey, as agriculture continues as a “star performer” in the Australian economy

Starry-eyed Farmer sentiment remains at near-record highs, spurred on by good rainfall and strong commodity prices, according to Rabobank’s quarterly Rural Confidence Survey.

Despite the wider economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19, the survey reveals more than 90 per cent of farmers expect the current positive conditions to either continue or improve over the next year.

The overall sentiment is the equal third-highest ever in the survey’s history, which includes more than 80 quarters of data since its introduction in 2000.

A large improvement during the last quarter was that 43 per cent of farmers surveyed anticipate the agricultural economy to improve during the next year, which is up from 35 per cent in the previous survey.

Commodity prices and ideal seasonal conditions are the two main reasons cited by farmers for their optimism, while Rabobank Australia CEO Peter Knoblanche adds low interest rates and a lower Australian dollar as further reasons for the strong performance continuing.

“While there are some challenges for the farm sector due to shipping delays and labour shortages, the Australian farm sector has largely been sheltered from the broader impacts of COVID-19 restrictions and is a shining star in the Australian economy right now,” he says.

“Above-average rainfall in the late half of winter across many agricultural regions has set up the sector for another big spring, with prospects of a second year of high-yielding crops and excellent conditions for livestock.

“Optimism is also being underpinned right now by the fact that the main factors driving commodity pricing higher are forecast to hold until at least the end of the year.”

While farmers in all states expressed positive sentiment, including those whose state capitals have experienced COVID-19 lockdowns, Western Australia led the way for optimism; while the most positive sectors nationally were grain and cotton producers.

Another key indicator of confidence was in planned farm investment.

Rabobank’s survey found 37 per cent of Australian farmers intend to increase their business investment during the next year, with a further 56 per cent maintaining current levels, which equals 93 per cent overall.

More than half the farmers surveyed (51 per cent) expect their income to increase during the next year and a further 37 per cent expect it to remain stable.

With such positivity around the sector, Knoblanche believes this will set Australian agriculture up well for the long-term.

“The success we are seeing right now in agriculture is very important for the whole Australian economy as it grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic,” he says.

“Agriculture is sustaining employment and economic activity in regional areas which is essential at all times, but particularly during the pandemic.

“This is a really formative period for family-farming enterprises, because consecutive years of good returns encourage young family members to return to the land, and it enables good succession planning to take place, which is often not possible during drought years.”

Startup success Eight Australian startups have made the final 45 for Rabobank’s FoodBytes Pitch program, which aims to help emerging food and agriculture companies drive innovation and change.

Australia has strong recent history in the event as Perth-based precision irrigation startup Swan Systems won last year’s overall agtech category prize while New South Wales-based ProAgni was a finalist in the same category.

The eight startups who were named as finalists, plus their purpose according to Rabobank, are: • Fable: Plant-based meat alternative • Ulu Hye: Plant-based milks • Your Food Collective: Locally grown, ethically sourced groceries • Great Wrap: Plant-based, compostable wraps • AgriDigital: Digitised platform streamlining the grain supply chain • AgUnity: Technologists integrating remote farming communities with global supply chains • ThinkBio: Biological products enabling growers to minimise synthetic fertilisers and optimise yields • TranspiratiONal-SBM: Biodegradable polymer membrane maximising yields and minimising negative environmental impacts.

AgUnity is one of eight Australian startups that have reached the final of Rabobank’s FoodBytes Pitch program

The 45 startups named as finalists will be whittled down to 15, who will compete in a livestreamed public pitch competition in November.

One winner will then be named in each of the three categories; agtech, food tech and consumer packaged goods.

Rabobank’s head of innovation Chamidu Karunathilake says 31 of the 45 shortlisted companies directly address areas of food and agriculture that have been affected by COVID-19 and credits Australia for its high representation among the finalists.

“Australian entrepreneurs have shown tremendous resilience and have continued to innovate during the global pandemic,” he says.

“To have eight Australian companies featured in the global top 45 is a testament to the entrepreneurship in this country.”

Industry The new agricultural visa will allow workers to enter Australia to work in agriculture and primary industry sectors

VISA

Access granted NFF welcomes new agricultural visa, though details remain unclear Key agricultural sectors will soon be able to employ foreigners through a new visa announced by the federal government.

The new Australian agriculture visa was set to be formalised at the time of going to press, however it’s not known when the first people using it will start, and where they will come from.

The new visa will enable workers to enter Australia and work across the agriculture and primary industry sectors, including meat processing, forestry and fisheries.

The visa has long been coveted by ag industry bodies given the ongoing labour crisis affecting the sector following the border constraints inflicted by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as

recent changes to the Working Holiday Maker program.

In a statement jointly released by Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce, Agriculture Minister David Littleproud, Foreign Minister Marise Payne and Immigration Minister Alex Hawke, the government says the visa will be open to many countries.

“The Australian agriculture visa will be open to applicants from a range of countries negotiated through bilateral agreements,” says the statement.

These bilateral talks are yet to begin, and no countries have been named as potential partners.

“Full conditions will be developed and implemented over the next three years as the visa is operationalised.

TRADE

Through Australia’s new trade deal with Indonesia, 500,000 tonnes of Australian feed grains can enter Indonesia duty-free

Trade deal Australia and Indonesia have forged an economic partnership that is set to improve grain trade between the two countries The cooperation – named Katalis, which means ‘catalyst’ in Bahasa Indonesia – will help facilitate future grain opportunities and provide farmers with useful information to maximise grain value for animal feed and high-quality food products.

Through Katalis, 500,000 tonnes of Australian feed grains can enter Indonesia duty free; with that figure also providing up to five per cent growth each year.

Katalis forms part of the broader IndonesiaAustralia Comprehensive Economic Partnership

“During this implementation period we will work to achieve a demand-driven approach and consider permanent residency pathways and regional settlement.”

Despite its ambiguity, the announcement of the visa has been welcomed by the National Farmers Federation (NFF), which says the visa will provide “real long-form workforce relief to Australian farmers”.

“This is a significant step towards solving the farm sector’s enduring workforce crisis with a bespoke visa designed to meet the industry’s many and varied skill needs,” says NFF president Fiona Simson.

“There will be a sigh of relief from farmers from the very northern tip of our country to those in the most southerly parts of Tasmania.

“The start date is extremely good news for farmers across the nation who are right now struggling to know how they will harvest, pick and pack this year’s crop.”

The news comes after the government announced its new Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) scheme, designed to make its Seasonal Worker Program (SWP) and Pacific Labour Scheme (PLS) more accessible and to include greater protections for worker welfare.

Agreement (IA-CEPA), which was enacted in July 2021.

Australian Export Grains Innovation Centre chief executive Richard Simonaitis outlines some of the ways the cooperation will help the grain sector.

“Through in-market engagement and webinars, we deliver regular and consistent information to Indonesian customers about the quality of Australian grains for feed and food, including practical information about how to maximise value,” says Simonaitis.

“Through the COVID period, we have supported Indonesian flour millers and food businesses with print and video resources about how to implement and manage COVID-19 hygiene practices.

“We’ve recently launched a dedicated website filled with resources for current and prospective Indonesian grain customers, aiming to provide technical information which will inform their views on the value in using Australian grains.”

Both Katalis and the wider-impacting IA-CEPA will see several benefits for Australia’s agricultural sector; namely that nearly all Australian exports will enter Indonesia duty-free.

Progressive tariff-rate quota increases will also be enacted for major exports to Indonesia, including agricultural and natural resource commodities.

Australian livestock will have a guaranteed zero per cent tariff for a quota of 575,000 male live cattle each year. That figure will rise to 700,000 in the sixth year of the agreement.

In 2021, the agreement will also seek to identify bilateral agricultural export priorities and pilot a program to deepen the market integration between the two countries.
