FOREWORD South Africa is currently in its rebuilding phase from the economic shocks of Covid-19.

Agriculture is the one sector of the economy that maintained positive growth momentum in 2020 and into 2021, which policymakers identified as part of the sectors to drive economic recovery and job creation. This sector’s potential is also true for much of the African continent when one considers the constraints faced by the manufacturing sector, combined with challenges presented by domestication or regionalization of global supply chains in manufacturing. Decision-makers must position agriculture more deliberately as a sector that could contribute to economic growth and job creation.

Efforts to expand agricultural activity will involve several interventions. These include overcoming logistics and supply chain bottlenecks, improving the network infrastructure and governance in municipalities, and refining the regulatory environment to encourage private sector investment in underutilised land.

In essence, South Africa’s attempt to use agriculture as one of the sectors to drive economic growth and job creation means facing the land reform challenge head-on. Given previous experience, and as legal scholars have argued, the effort to amend the Constitution is not an appropriate intervention; instead, the focus should be on growth and investment-friendly approaches. In the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, the policy toolbox to drive economic recovery and sustained growth is depleted, a reality that confronts many developing and emerging economies such as South Africa. Agriculture holds the potential to drive growth, create jobs, and restore confidence. This will require the government to remove regulatory constraints to growth, including those related to logistics and other infrastructure, improve governance at the municipality level, which is key to service delivery, and work closely with the private sector to expand production and international trading opportunities Presented within our directory is a vast variety of product and service providers and potential partners for profitable farming. May this directory be an invaluable resource for your business and open further opportunities to flourish.

Water scarcity is a reality and farmers continuously adjust the management of available water to get the most out of this valuable resource. One way of doing this is to reduce water losses by sealing leaking earth dams with our effective product DamIt™ Dam Sealer.

When a dam starts to leak and lose water, traditional processes to fix it would be to allow the dam to empty and have it repaired or rebuilt through the use of earthmoving equipment, adding new soil, clay or even plastic linings which can be very expensive and time consuming.

Fortunately, there is now a quick, easy and affordable solution to this problem that doesn’t involve emptying the dam. DamIt™ is a specially developed polymer powder that can be used to stop water leakage through earth dams by scattering it across the surface of the water.

With a positive charge, it draws downward through the water towards the bottom of the dam. The hydrostatic water pressure, which

causes the dam to leak, forces the polymer down into cracks and crevices as it sinks to the bottom, forming a long-term plug. DamIt™ is eco-friendly and will not harm humans, fish, plants or animals.

Fighting Fire with Technology Fire is one of the biggest threats to forestry globally, accounting for millions of Rands worth of damage each year. Historically, manned lookout towers are used to detect fires, but human error and inaccurate pinpointing makes this method ineffective. Using technology for early, effective and accurate detection is therefore vital.

FireHawk is the Solution The FireHawk Computer Assisted Fire Detection System uses 360 degree high definition digital cameras to monitor large areas and transmit information to a base station that is manned by operators. The software differentiates between fire, smoke and glow, and then raises an alarm.

Positioning is done from a single camera, with the ability to cross reference for improved accuracy.

Our mission is to detect, position and report fires to members within the shortest possible time to enable them to combat fires while they are still manageable. The company makes use of

the most up-to-date equipment and technology, whilst remaining affordable and simple to use.

Current FireHawk Detection Systems FireHawk’s first detection system was launched in South Africa in 1994 and now monitors approximately 591 000 hectares of timber plantations in the KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape and Mpumalanga provinces. The software is also being used internationally in South America, other African countries and in Australia. A system has been operational in the central and southern regions of Chile since 2017 to monitor 650 000ha of timber, and in Brazil since 2016 to monitor 155 000ha of timber in the Mato Grosso do Sul and Minas Gerais provinces. Since 2015, the system has been used in the Nchalu area of southern Malawi to monitor 4 000ha of sugarcane plantations, and in Ashanti Region of southern Ghana to monitor 6 000ha of Burmese Teak plantations. Trial systems are also being used in parts of Australia and Tasmania to detect fires in commercial timber plantations and national parks.

1039 Treurnich Street, Rayton, 1001 | 012 734 45332 Contact Nicolette Van Dyk | 082 775 2875 | nic@lubeforce.co.za

Lube Force Traders CC was established in 1998, in Rayton, East of Pretoria. The current directors, Nic Janse van Rensburg and Jurie van Dyk joined in 2000. Lube Force initially belonged to Oom Nic’s brother in law and when he and Jurie joined it was at a point of bankruptcy and the pair worked tirelessly to implement the turnaround strategy of the company.

Oom Nic has a B.Comm degree obtained from the then Potchefstroom University and started his career as a cashier and then admin clerk at the Rustenburg Municipality. Following that he worked as a Trainee Mine Secretary and then a fully fledged Mine Secretary at various mines under Impala Platinum and General Mining.

He then moved to Conway Johnson where he worked in various commercial roles until he became a Financial Manager before he chose the path of self-employment and later joined Lube Force in November 2000.

Jurie did military service after he matriculated and was with the SANDF for 3 years before he joined ABSA Bank. He spent 17 years at the bank until his appointment as Sales Manager. In December 2000 he and his wife Nicolette (Oom

Nic’s daughter) joined Lube Force.

Oom Nic and Jurie decided to buy over the company when the initial Directors received an offer from an independent person. In the early days, the company focused its efforts on “no name” lubricants; however, the current owners reformulated this strategy and introduced branded products. In 2008, Gerhard Engelbrecht joined Lube Force as a Sales Manager and he introduced Total Lubricants to the company.

This resulted in a dramatic change in the financial situation of Lube Force due to a better price structure and availability of stock.

The Lube Force team has become an integral partner of TotalEnergies Marketing South Africa and has consistently performed above expectations by being loyal and committed to Total Lubricants. They have won various awards over the past few years and were recognized as the top Distributor in 2019.

We have been helping precision producers with CRITICALLY important and essential Calcium, Magnesium and Sulphur nutrients in easy to handle granules, for more than 7 years.

These essential nutrients ensure proper root development, adequate photosyntheses and well being of your crops.

Very important, to remember the “Law of Minimum” that was made famous by a German scientist named Justus von Liebig who said that “when one of the essential plant nutrients is deficient, plant growth will be poor, even when all other essential nutrients are abundant!”.

And, if you have an imbalance or shortage of these components you may well also suffer from a lack of good soil microbes, fungi and carbons which further compound the problems in your soils.

We manufacture a wide range of granules as well as manufacture prescription granulations depending on nutrients required.

We take pride in assisting modern precision farmers increase their crop yields.

For more information, trade enquiries or orders, please contact us on 011 465 0018.

Essentially, as all high productive producers know, it does not matter if you focus all input costs only into NPK’s, much wastage and a poor crop will result unless you also have the correct balance of other essential Nutrients like Ca, Mg, S and Micronutrients.

PO Box 20366, Proteapark, 0305 | 014 536 9900/1/3 Contact Henno Pretorius | 082 552 3882 | henno@agrilime.com | marketing@agrilime.com

Established in 1995, Agri Lime is a strategic supplier of calcitic limestone to the Feedlime and Agricultural limestone markets in Southern Africa.

Agri Lime’s limestone is currently mined, processed and classified near Northam in the Limpopo province, approx. 50 km south of Thabazimbi. The limestone is widely known as Northam calcite. The deposit is unusual and unique in that it is calcitic limestone, not the more prevalent dolomitic limestone commonly occurring in South Africa. It is furthermore a remarkably pure form of calcium carbonate, is soft and readily soluble.

Feed lime is commercially used as a vitamin/ mineral and feed additive carrier. Calcium is an essential element for healthy growth of commercially reared animals. The amorphic crystalline structure of this calcite limestone makes this product highly suitable as a carrier for use in the animal feed industry. Full absorption of calcium is achieved as a result of its soft and soluble characteristics.

64 | SA Agri Essentials | Issue 2 2021/22

Agricultural limestone neutralises acid soil and rectifies the pH so that the highest yield can be obtained. Northam calcite enhances the availability of phosphates and prevents molybdenum deficiency. It promotes the activity of earthworms and nitrogen-fixing bacteria as well as the breakdown of organic material that releases nitrogen, phosphorus, sulphur and micro-elements. It prevents further magnesium build-up in cultivated lands.

Both Feed lime and Agricultural limestone are registered with the Department of Agriculture, Forestry & Fisheries, under Act no 36 of 1947, respectively as a farm feed and fertilizer .

Packaging available in 50kg bags, 1 ton bulk polypropylene woven bags, bulk loads and bulk tanker.

Field crops Field crops are important for food security, and they account for the largest portion of cultivated land in South Africa.

A large proportion of field crops are planted on dry land (in contrast to using irrigation systems); in other words, much of South Africa’s field crops are dependent on the availability of rainfall.

The top five field crop products produced nationally by commercial agriculture is maize, sugarcane, lucerne, wheat and soya beans.

Turnerland was founded in 1994 with the dream and vision to help SA farmers achieve success.

In the beginning, the focus was only on potato farmers, but later onion farmers were included.

Over the past 25 years farmers have been offered the ability to mechanise their farming operations. Turnerland is the only manufacturer of potato planters and mass harvesters in Southern Africa.

Turnerland also boasts its own in-house 3D CAD (Computer Aided Design) department where machinery is designed and constantly improved, guided by extensive practical experience gained in potato and onion farming and from servicing the potato and onion industry.

Turnerland’s potato planters are very popular and are produced in a range of two-, three-, four- and six-row configurations. This wide range of planting configurations ensures that every potato farmer’s needs are met.

S Patriot) and double-row elevator towed models (TL 170 CEM/CES) compare favourably to imported potato harvesters in terms of technology and craftsmanship.

Our aim has always been and always will be to produce ever greater equipment to ensure that our trusted clients can improve their productivity and success. We do this amidst a hostile economic climate and uncertain future.

For Turnerland it is an honour and a duty to serve the farmers of Africa to the best of our ability.

The Electrogator was the first reversible, electric drive pivot with a collector ring allowing for continuous rotation. The Electrogator was also the first pivot with spans of more than 30 metres in length, the first with the Reinke patented V-jack truss design and the first to use interchangeable pipe and truss components.

Today, Reinke is still the industry leader. The high-strength steel that goes into Reinke pivots and lateral movement irrigation systems can be as much as 50 percent stronger than steel used in competing irrigation systems. The result is a high-strenght structure weighing as much as 20% less.

Reinke South Africa is based in Durban and we can deliver and install Reinke pivots anywhere in Africa.

DID YO U KNOW ?

Roughly 65% of Africa’s population relies on subsistence farming Subsistence farming, or smallholder agriculture, is when one family grows only enough to feed themselves. Without much left for trade, the surplus is usually stored to last the family until the following harvest. While subsistence farming is appealing to rural farmers because it allows families to be self-sufficient, it is heavily susceptible to climate change and works best when there is no drought or flood, which usually isn’t the case.

Vitibot, based in Champagne, France, manufactures self-driving robots to work in vineyards. Before the grapes are harvested and used to produce a fine Champagne, the vines need to be cared for over the course of several months.

An autonomously driving robot relieves the winemakers of this work. Eight electronic “eyes” in form of 3D cameras ensure an autonomous navigation through the vineyards.

“Bakus the robot is capable of precisely spraying the plants at the right spot with exactly the right dose, which cut the amount of pesticides by half. This does not only save money but also preserves the environment” What makes Bakus unique is its autonomous navigation and obstacle detection. The vehicle is equipped with eight precise 3D cameras from ifm: two cameras at the front, back and on the sides. In order to navigate our machine safely, Vitbot wanted a solution that would work reliably by day and night. Ifm’s image sensor transmits a clear 3D image of the surroundings no matter what the light conditions are.

The sensor creates a 3D image using PMD technology. Compared to laser scanners, the ifm 3D camera does not need moveable parts.

Therefore, it is especially robust, small, light and cost effective. With the PMD technology used, the image sensor can work without being influenced by ambient light. Advantage: despite direct sunlight or complete darkness, the camera generates its 3D image.

Vitibot Managing Director Cédric Bache adds, “It was a real challenge to put the 3D images together. In cooperation with ifm we found a solution that meets our needs.

These unspoilt beaches were even featured in a 2018 article by Griffin Shea on the best beaches in the world - read the article for yourself on CNN’s website. While the beaches are spectacular, it is merely the tip of the iceberg. Paradise Beach borders a semi nature reserve and with numerous greenbelt areas between the homes. Wildlife, such as bushbuck, duiker, porcupine, mongoose, tortoise and over two hundred species of birds, can be seen daily throughout the area.

Paradise Beach boasts an airfield for light aircraft, reefs for scuba diving, excellent conditions for wind and kite surfing, many productive fishing spots, swimming areas and only one entrance into the area which crosses a picturesque lagoon. This entrance is monitored by an excellent neighbourhood watch that patrols the entirety of Paradise Beach and is assisted by three security companies and surveillance cameras keeping the residents and the wildlife safe. In fact, Paradise Beach has the lowest crime rate in the entire Kouga region.

A short eight-to-ten-minute drive will take you to the heart of Jeffreys Bay where you will find many excellent restaurants, hospitals, schools, shopping malls and anything else you might need, not to mention the world-famous surfing waves drawing surfers from across the globe for two weeks every July when we host a leg of the World Surfing Championships.

Henry street 118, Westdene, Bloemfontein | 051 448 6327 Contact Louis Steyl | 084 815 9487 | louis@bonsmara.co.za

The Bonsmara breed has its origins in an intensive cross-breeding programme that started in the early 1930s. The main focus of this project was to develop a breed that could adapt to South Africa’s diverse environment, and be more profitable under poor grazing conditions.

After 50 years as a registered breed, Bonsmara boasts the most important characteristics needed to qualify as an adaptable breed.

This ensures better profits for both the commercial and stud breeder, and sustainability in the long run.

Bonsmara was the first breed of cattle inspected using production records. All Bonsmara cattle are inspected at breeding age, and any not showing good veld adaptability are rejected.

Well adapted Bonsmara animals can be identified by the following: • •

A smooth coat in summer; Well-pigmented eyes, udders and hooves;

• •

A strong constitution; and Sound feet and legs.

Any animal with structural defects or that is functionally inefficient is culled.

With over 120 000 registered animals and more than 100 production sales a year Bonsmara SA is the biggest cattle breeding society in South Africa. The focus of Bonsmara breeders is to provide well adapted functional efficient animals to the commercial market.

Farm Beyersrus, Makwassie, North-West Province Contact Peet van Zijl | 082 990 0623 | admin@beyersrusboerdery.co.za

Shortly after the Anglo Boer War this Van Zyl family trekked from the Sandveld near Clanwilliam in the old Cape Colony to the former Transvaal Republic, where they settled on the farm Oersonskraal near the small town of Makwassie. Their trek included their Afrikaner cattle. During the 1914 Rebellion the rebel leader, Gen. Christiaan Beyers, was buried in the family cemetery on the farm, which led to the farm’s name becoming BEYERSRUS. The vegetation on the farm is a mixture of climax sweetveld grasslands and Kalahari thornveld.

Winter and summer climates are extreme.

Over the years the Afrikaner herd on the farm was kept pure Afrikaner, with only pure Afrikaner bulls from established Afrikaner breeders being used. As a stud Beyersrus Afrikaners participates in the national performance testing and animal improvement schemes. Herd selection criteria place a high premium on balanced breeding values supporting the traditional Afrikaner

genetic traits of fertility, longevity, hardiness, adaptability to extreme conditions, moderate temperament, good maternal instinct and natural resistance to disease.

We are proud of our breed of Afrikaner. We are confident that they represent the above genetic values which make them eminently suitable for breeding, including cross-breeding.

In 1998 I started a feedlot in the Koster district in the North West province. In 2001, I selected heifers out of the feedlot to start a breeding herd, consisted mainly of Beefmaster, Simbra and Bonsmara cross breed animals. The need for a breeding herd originated because the time to plant cash crops on marginal soil was not viable anymore and it were put under pastures.

I started with bulls from different breeds and soon realised the beefmaster calves outperformed the rest, when they were individually weighed and put into the feedlot, they performed above average. Because land is the most expensive available resource in a farming enterprise, therefore you have to

make sure that you make the maximum profit per hectare. The only way to ensure this, is to improve cow efficiency. Another advantage is that the herd started to become a uniform medium frame, feminine, well adapted group that made a very good impression and therefore I developed a passion for them.

The Beefmaster cow have excellent maternal characteristics, and do not need intensive attention during calving.

Contact Lukas Burger | 082 856 1458 | lukas.burger@aol.com Abraham Burger | 082 794 7907 | Hermien Burke | 082 662 3623

The Lukas Burger Boer Goat Stud is a family business located in the Northern Cape.

Lukas’ father, AWA Burger started breeding with goats in the 1950’s, which started a flock that is widely recognized as one of the top breeding studs in the world.

A full breeding record of its animals can be traced back to 1978.

In 1986, with the help of his father, Lukas competed in his first South African National Boer Goat Championship and two of the five goats shown, placed in their respective classes.

In 1988 he won the SA Junior Champion Ram and achieved fourth place overall on points for the show.

In 1990 Lukas won the South African National Championship Show in Kuruman and since he is yet to lose a show on points, that he has competed in.

180 | SA Agri Essentials | Issue 2 2021/22

Lukas has also judged eight National and World Shows throughout the years as well as various shows in the USA, Namibia and Australia, including the Sydney Royal Easter Show.

Abraham and Hermien are both avid goat breeders and have judged local and international shows including Brazil and Australia. The Lukas Burger Boer Goat Stud genetics have also won various shows in the USA, Australia and Brazil.

To this day his breeding success can be measured on the sterling results he achieves, not only in National and World Shows, but also in the record prices his animals achieve, both in South Africa and internationally, at the various Production Sales held throughout the year.

Swemkuil, Niekerkshoop Contact Koenie | 076 181 0710 | kotzekoenie@gmail.com

My name is Koenie Kotze. I farm in the Northern Cape on the farm Swemkuil between Douglas and Prieska, next to the Orange River. I also make use of nearby farms that I rent, to the effect that I farm on a total of 8000 hectares.

I farm with Savanna Goats, Boergoats and Kalahari Reds. On the sheepside I farm with Dorpers and White Dorpers, Van Rooy sheep and Persians which consists of the Black Head Persian, Red Head Persian, Black Speckled Persian, Red Speckled Persian, White Persians, Blue-, Pink-, and Tri-colour Persians. The Tricolour Persians consist of black/brown/white and blue/pink/white Persians.

As we enter year 13 of drought, it is very difficult to farm in this area.

I am a Judge and Inspector of all 3 different Goat species, Dorpers and White Dorpers, Van Rooy Sheep and the Persians. I have judged and inspected animals and present courses

on the different animals in South Africa and Internationally. I have been selected to judge the World Championship for the Dorpers and Boergoats for quite some time since I qualified as a Judge and Inspector of the different species of animals as set out above. I also judged the SA Championship of the Van Rooy Sheep and the Persians.

I am also involved in judging of Dorper and Boergoats internationally and also present courses International. During 2002 I had judged the Boergoats, Dorpers and also the Australian Boergoat in one year.

Sakkie and Nicky Nell Boergoats

Brakrivier, Jansenville, 6265 Contact Sakkie Nell | 082 575 6095 | Nicky Nell | 081 468 9477 | sakkie.nell@outlook.com

The Sakkie and Nicky Nell Boergoat Stud is situated in Jansenville. The area is unique in its vegetation with Spekboom and a cactus called the “Noors”, which is exclusive to this area and is used to feed the animals during a drought. The average rainfall is about 250mm per year, but this area has experienced drought conditions over the past 8 years.

In 1925, Sakkie’s grandfather, Louis Nell (Snr), lost 700 Angoras due to heavy rain and extremely cold conditions. It was then that he decided he was done with the farming of Angoras and started farming with Boer goats and Merinos.

After the death of Louis Nell (Snr), his son, Louis Nell (Jnr) took over the farm. Louis Nell (Jnr) was one of the founders of the SABTV in 1969. He was unable to attend the meeting due to farm responsibilities, but during this meeting the stud number 106 was awarded to him. Sakkie Nell managed the stud with his father for 10 years, until his father passed away in 1997. Five years ago, Sakkie’s son, Nicky, joined his father in managing the stud and continues to do so today.

The goal is to breed hardened fertile, uniform and feminine Boer goats ewes. Emphasis is placed on mothering abilities under extensive farming conditions.

Rams are also raised under extensive field conditions. Livestock that are intended to go to auctions are rounded up in a feedlot every 3-4 months. In doing so, the farm can confidently market their livestock, knowing the animals will adapt to the field.

From 1925, Sakkie and Nicky Nell Boergoats are proud of 96 years of breeding, and is determine to continue so in the future.
