her life to Farmers Guide, and was considered to be like one of the family. Here, founder Doug Potts is giving Janet a carriage clock to commemorate 25 years with the team.

Welcome to the 500th edition of Farmers Guide. Even though Mum and Dad are never far from our thoughts, we especially remember them at milestones such as this. It was Dad’s vision all those years ago when, at the age of 50 he left his secure, well-paid job at the local newspaper to start Farmers Guide. Many people said: ‘A free magazine and free advertising for farmers? It will never work’, but how wrong they were. Dad was a classified advertising man through his newspaper days, and FG was going to be classified advertising only, with no editorial or display advertising. However, a well-known dealer suggested to Dad that he should reconsider this and include editorial for advertisers, and initial enquiries with potential advertisers proved this to be a popular opinion. Much of the groundwork was done by Dad in the year or so leading up to issue number 1, by way of visits to and conversations with local dealers and agricultural suppliers – many of which are still advertisers today. The dealer whose initial suggestions helped shape FG went on to have many front cover adverts, and also an advert on our monthly envelope – Thurlow Nunn Standen still advertises today. In the 1980s, our database of readers was a manual operation whereby we stored reader details on cards and used a specialist printer to imprint the address directly onto the envelopes, before moving to a basic digital database where we printed labels which had to be put onto envelopes by hand – all of this took days to do. Now, of course, it is a precise, accurate and automated process which, regardless of whether it is for the magazine, a supplement, an insert or a bespoke newsletter, takes just moments. But that doesn’t detract from the fact that it is this very database having evolved over the past 42 years which contributes so massively to our success today. Creating the monthly magazine with bespoke editorial, high quality advertising and creative design goes handin-hand with getting it into the correct letterboxes – making sure our readers are our customers’ customers. My sister Jane and I managed FG for far more years than Mum and Dad did, and they supported and guided us (and often criticised us!). As editor, Jane covered many miles by plane and

1979–2021

coach, visiting dealers and manufacturers across Europe in order to report in the magazine until she retired in May 2019. Now that job is done by David reporting and Rachel as editor. Many of our readers will remember Janet Watts, who was our sales girl for 30 years and gave much of her life to FG. She retired in 2010 then sadly passed away in 2015. Readers and advertisers alike thought she was part of the family, and in many ways she was. Again, back in the early days some of our ‘more mature’ readers may remember Mum and Dad hosting many a BBQ and snooker tournament at their home on the outskirts of Needham Market, and much fun was to be had. But this family spirit continues, and while the business is far larger these days, Farmers Guide is still very much a family business, and everyone involved is proud of its humble beginnings. The team is often seen at agricultural shows and events, press briefings and dealers, and we love to meet our readers and hear your thoughts about Farmers Guide, and how we can continue to support British agriculture. FG

And finally…. Pig farmer Joe decided that his injuries following an accident were serious enough to take the lorry driver responsible to court. The defending counsel asked Joe: “Didn’t you say at the scene of the accident that you were OK?” “Well,” started Joe. “I had just loaded my prize pig, Rupert, into the trailer, and was driving down the A140 when this bloody great lorry jumped a red light and hit me. “I was thrown into the nearside ditch, and Rupert into the other. I was in real pain and couldn’t move, but I could hear Rupert squealing and knew he was badly hurt. “When a policeman arrived with an officer from the RSPCA, they could see how badly Rupert was injured, and promptly shot him with a humane killer. Then they came over to me, and the officer said ‘Your pig was in such bad shape, I had to shoot him. So, how do you feel?’” This month’s joke is a classic from the archives, published by Doug Potts in his Points to Ponder column in 1999.

Grain & Fertiliser Advice

500 ISSUE

1979–2021

With biofuel potentially leading the way on the path to ‘net zero’, is this the way forward for UK agriculture? I assure you it’s more of a reflection. After 12 years of UK ethanol, I’m left wondering what the next decade will look like. Hopefully, the demand for UK wheat will be positive, but we need to be realistic, and we also need to remember that biofuels have to prove they have a lower carbon emission than regular fuels. To do this, the feedstock needs to prove it’s compliant with criteria laid down by the European Union’s Renewable Energies Directive (RED). This was placed into UK law and requires farmers to be able to answer questions about land use – and maybe in the coming years be able to calculate the CO2 emissions of their crop, rather than use the current default values. As this article demonstrates, nothing in life is simple and every farmer in the near vicinity of the two ethanol plants should fully understand what they need to do to at least be able to get a chance to sell to them. It’s not difficult; after all, if the Australians can guarantee their canola is sustainable and the Ukrainians can supply sustainable maize, then I’m sure UK farmers will engage with the process – otherwise they risk missing out on any E10 opportunities that may arise.

While fertiliser type and usage play a large part in carbon reduction, biofuels are being touted as the next big thing – but farmers need to ensure feedstock is compliant at the very least, before they can seize any E10 opportunities.

Fertiliser matters According to Openfield’s fertiliser manager, Lucy Hassall (left), as crops establish and any deficiencies start to become apparent, we an identify if this is due to the incorrect pH of the soil. A basic soil test would not only show available nutrients but also confirm the soil pH. The application of fertilisers and manures can increase soil acidity over time, locking up essential nutrients for growth and potentially impacting yields. As calcium and other nutrients are removed from the ground at harvest, the pH will naturally drop. By applying small amounts of lime each year with a little and often approach, you can remain at optimal pH levels of 6.5 for arable and 6.3 for grassland, allowing nutrients to be effectively available to the crop. Granular lime is effective within six weeks of application and as well as increasing pH levels, this also promotes the activity of earthworms and nitrogen-fixing bacteria and helps the breakdown of organic material, increasing nutrient-use efficiency. FG

The recent announcement The last year has taught that E10 will be in our UK fuel us all several things, pumps by this September says Openfield’s is positive news, but it also head of compliance, leaves many questions. shipping and research, Ultimately, the E10 domestic Cecilia Pryce (right). Amongst the positives, demand should be treated cautiously. The price of feedstock we saw the environment and its availability is always key, as breath a huge sigh of relief due to the is the price of imported ethanol and drop in the number of miles we have oil values along with any buy-out travelled, and also the government obligations. Commercial companies is now engaged in making the UK a need to make a return and if it more environmentally-friendly place, doesn’t pay to produce it, then why focusing on ‘net zero’ by 2050 – but would they? The market is also how will UK agriculture play its part in awaiting the latest edition of the us achieving this? Renewable Transport Fuels Obligation, Fertiliser type and usage is an which leaves me wondering if first obvious area, along with ‘carbon generation biofuels will be capped offset red diesel’ – however, biofuels further. Also, what about the ban on may be about to top everything else sales of new combustion engine cars in the coming years. Back in 2005, I in the UK in 2030, or the fact that more attended my first bioethanol meeting, people may start working from home where the question of the day was: on a long-term basis, or the increase in “Could the UK make ethanol with electric vehicles?

In 2012, another plant opened, but every year has had its challenges with nothing produced in 2011/12 – whereas in 2016/17, the two plants consumed around 1.5 million metric tonnes of wheat.

Cereals moves date to welcome more visitors

New machinery dealership opening in Shropshire For the past 20 years, RVW Pugh Ltd has proudly held two of AGCO’s premier brands; Fendt and Massey Ferguson. AGCO and RVW Pugh Ltd have been in recent discussions as to how they can move forward with both brands, in line with both companies’ long-term strategies. During 2021, over a phased period, RVW Pugh Ltd will be splitting its business. RVW Pugh Ltd will hold the Massey Ferguson franchise and a new company is being set up to hold the Fendt franchise. The new Fendt business will be headed up by Tom Shakeshaft (pictured) as managing director. Mr Shakeshaft commented: “I am delighted at the opportunity to join the Pugh family and head up the Fendt business. A new depot in Shropshire focusing on Fendt will enable us to deliver everincreasing levels of customer service and support.” RVW Pugh Ltd managing director, Emma Pugh said: “It’s still very much business as usual, in essence whether you are a Fendt or Massey Ferguson customer of ours, rest assured we are here to do our best for you. [...] You will be supported by the same great team of familiar faces, just a new name for the Fendt business.”

AHDB recruits two new Strategic Cereal Farms Two new farmers have joined AHDB’s Strategic Cereal Farm network in an expansion of the Farm Excellence programme to both the south and north of England. Launching in June 2021, David Miller from Hampshire has been selected as the host of the new Strategic Cereal Farm South, which will become AHDB’s fourth Strategic Cereal Farm. Joining David is David Blacker from York, who will host Strategic Cereal Farm North when it launches in 2022. Funded by AHDB and other stakeholders, Strategic Cereal Farms test cutting-edge research and innovations. During the six-year programme, they host a structured combination of short and long-term field and farm-scale demonstrations, with one or two on-farm meetings per year. Richard Meredith, AHDB head of arable knowledge exchange, said: “It is great to welcome two new Strategic Farms to the Farm Excellence network. “There is very little doubt that we are facing a period of unprecedented change for our industry, and there will be challenges ahead as growers strive for excellence. [...] We look forward to working with our two new Strategic Cereal Farm hosts in the coming years.”

The Cereals Event has moved to 30th June–1st July to accommodate the maximum number of visitors and exhibitors following the Government’s announcement of its lockdown exit strategy. The event format will remain the same, meaning visitors can still expect to see

a large host of exhibitors, live demonstrations and attend a full seminar programme. Features will include the Syngenta Sprays & Sprayers Arena, Isuzu Driving Course, Crop Plots, NIAB Soil Pit and Drone Zone, as well as many others. “Though the government is targeting a full lifting of lockdown restrictions before the new date, we are still planning on prioritising visitor safety and will be taking all necessary precautions, while allowing visitors to enjoy the

entire event experience,” said event organiser, Alli McEntyre. “We realise the change of date may not slot into everyone’s schedule – however, moving it to a later date will allow the maximum number of visitors to get the most from the event.” For more information or to register for tickets visit www. cerealsevent.co.uk and use the code ‘FREE1’. For those who have already registered, tickets will transfer to the new dates automatically.

Digital precision with new app With a new site-specific app developed by the German start-up company Solorrow, farmers can easily create variable rate application maps for fertilising and other field operations and share them with the John Deere Operations Center. From there, maps can be sent wirelessly to machines in the field. Based on five years of biomass data, the selected areas can then be divided

into different soil zones that act as the basis for fertiliser and spray application maps. These maps can be sent from the app to the John Deere Operations Center and then also sent wirelessly to the appropriate vehicle. The John Deere in-cab display receives the data and then gives the Isobus-controlled fertiliser spreader or sprayer the site-specific application rate based on its current position in the field.

With this new app, Solorrow and John Deere are combining their marketing and sales activities. This allows John Deere dealers to offer farmers and contractors an even wider range of Precision Ag systems.

New weather monitoring tool helps prevent pesticide drift

Richard Paul Russell Ltd has announced the release of the Kestrel 3550AG Agricultural Weather Meter. Precise on-

site wind, temperature and humidity awareness is the key to avoiding spray drift liability and maximising application results. With just your phone and this Bluetooth-enabled weather meter, users can capture critical weather data throughout their workday and anywhere on their operation. Farmers put themselves and their business at risk every time they spray a field without measuring and

documenting the wind speed and environmental conditions. Off-target pesticide drift can not only cause damage to nearby vulnerable crops, but also pose a serious threat to people, livestock, wildlife, and the surrounding community. The Kestrel 3550AG fits in a pocket yet is equipped with factory-calibrated sensors to measure wind speed and direction, relative humidity, and more.

The purchaser of the ATV was Jim Pate from Toxside Farm, Midlothian. Jim farms 4,000 acres over three farms, along with his two sons, Gordon and Neil. They have 1,500 ewes and 160 Angus x Simmental cows. Alec Telfer, president of the Blackface Sheep Breeders’ Association, said: “We would like to thank Suzuki for their partnership over the last two years and for providing a members’ discount on their ATVs. The ATV was promoted at all the events that we attended and has given us the opportunity to raise some much-needed funds for these good causes.”

Report: Agriculture workplace safety index The past 12 months have placed many obstacles and challenges in the path of agricultural workers, as the pandemic took grip of the nation and workplace processes were forced to change to stay within government guidelines. With 59 per cent of workers in agriculture having suffered a workplace accident in the past, a new report by The Compensation Experts has revealed the attitudes towards safety in the workplace. The report titled ‘The workplace safety index’ surveyed workers within the agricultural sector. For those workers that had to continue working during the Covid-19 pandemic, only 15 per cent believed that their employers took social distancing rules seriously. The apparent lack of social distancing measures enforced by employers was also mirrored across all sectors in the UK. The report revealed that for all sectors working during Covid-19, only 37 per cent of employers took social distancing seriously, resulting in an alarming 39 per cent of UK workers feeling unsafe in their place of work.

Working towards durable pest and disease resistance Erosion of resistance genes is a major concern, and with a declining plant protection toolbox, scientists, breeders, agronomists and farmers are working together to try to catch a moving target. Farmers Guide spoke to an agronomist, a breeder and a researcher to find out what is being done to help the industry – Heather Briggs reports. Genetics are leading the way towards helping growers tackle a range of pests and diseases which can impact yield and quality. The goal is multiple resistance through different genes, so that even if the pathogen evolves, it will be less likely to break resistance. But it will never be a one-horse race, as there are so many desirable characteristics that growers and their customers demand, so breeders never target just one trait, says RAGT Seeds breeding pathologist, Dr Ruth Bryant (right). Research is teasing out which genes are responsible for lower disease levels and whether they impact on yield consistency, crop resilience, enhanced resource efficiency and quality, to offer growers of the future access to better elite varieties. This is thanks to a greater understanding of the genes conferring improved disease resistance, from ground-breaking research done at centres such as the John Innes Centre, which has created a breeders’ toolbox. Information is passed on to the breeding companies, who use the information to develop commercial varieties incorporating resistance with other necessary characteristics, such as yield and quality.

Multi-gene resistant wheat Getting genetics right can be complicated. One of the first tasks is to genetically locate where the

resistance is, and apply DNA markers, Dr Bryant explains. A recent success story was the introduction of winter wheat variety RGT Wolverine, which has multistrain resistance to barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV). Taking readers a step back, Dr Bryant reveals that part of her work is screening lines from exotic locations to see if they have resistance to diseases such as yellow rust. “Different resistance genes can sometimes be found in varieties bred overseas and also in older landraces, and these can provide important information,” she says. “But identifying which ones are actually conferring resistance is difficult because you can have two varieties with no disease, but it might not be the same gene conferring resistance in both of them. The question is whether they are worth adding to the breeding programme. “Once you have identified and assessed them, you have the first building blocks to start to build stacks of complementary resistant genes. Some of these are now working their way through into commercial lines.” But further challenges remain, as effective resistance genes sometimes come with undesirable characteristics for commercial varieties, so these need to be ‘cleaned’. Wheat varieties with durable resistance to disease such as rust are increasingly important to

the industry because of reduced numbers of active ingredients from conventional plant protection products available. While this is currently more of a problem with septoria tritici, Dr Bryant draws attention to concerns that yellow rust may follow the same pattern. Moving on to talk about the durability of resistance, she emphasises the importance of using different genes conferring a broad spectrum of resistance. “We have found regional differences in susceptibility or resistance can vary quite considerably, so we are collecting data and working across lots of sites not only here in Britain but also with our European partners in France and Germany. “Collecting and analysing information from different areas will help us move towards better and better varieties, so growers can obtain good yields in difficult seasons when disease pressure is high as well as when conditions are favourable.”

Feedback is key Research and development of resistant varieties is vital to the industry and everyone has an important part to play, says ProCam head of crop production Mike Thornton (pictured). Feedback to the breeders is key; that way, they learn if there are problems with a particular variety,

which might be standing as a parent for newer varieties. Mr Thornton is keen to point out: “Recommendations on paper are very useful, but also knowing whether the characteristics work as well at commercial level in the field is key. “Of course, the traits are not always passed down into the daughter varieties, but if breeders receive the right feedback and information they can assess any potential risks.” One of the main challenges of yellow rust is its rapid mutation within a season, so despite AHDB Recommended List (RL) ratings, he advises growers to monitor crops carefully. “The RL ratings are based on rust resistance at the adult stage of the plant, which means that you can see incidence on seedlings and juvenile plants.” Choice of variety to grow is about more than simply rust resistance, and may well depend on other factors such as resistance to orange wheat blossom midge (OWBM) and barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) in addition to options such as available drilling slot, maturity dates, and market conditions. “One of the benefits when you grow a number of varieties with different ratings is that you can schedule work so that the most susceptible are the first to be sprayed. “But if you find juvenile continued over…

rust in the crop, where you don’t expect it, it can make these choices more difficult, and getting round the whole crop in a timely manner on a large farm can be very difficult.” Once rust gets into a crop, causing loss of green leaf and the plant’s ability to photosynthesise, there will be an impact on yield. “When it happens at adult stage, by which time you have paid most of the fixed and variable costs, this then hits the all-important profit margins. Fortunately, he adds, fungicides work at both preventative and curative levels on brown and yellow rust. “But you must never become complacent, as weather conditions and the speed of pathogen’s lifecycle could result in mutations impacting on fungicide efficacy.”

Activating resistance already in wheat genome Pathogens can only infect a small number of plants and many are unable to infect even those that are closely related, such as wheat and barley, explains Matt Moscou, group leader at The Sainsbury Laboratory (left). This begs the question of why the resistance of nonsusceptible plants is durable and does not break down. Dr Moscou says: “For example, powdery mildew on barley is unable to grow on wheat, so this raises the question; could we put the nonhost gene from barley into wheat?” Geneticists have previously put barley chromosomes into wheat, but none conferred resistance, he reports. Research in Dr Moscou’s group has discovered some of the ways that resistance can be turned off when transferred into wheat. “Pathogens actively attempt to evade detection and suppress the plant’s immune system so that they have access to food and can reproduce. “This means that non-host resistance (plants that the pathogen does not infect) is based on the plant’s own immune system working well for that particular pathogen.” Pathogens that are successful, therefore, have adapted to be able to enter that particular type of plant; and some are capable of accumulating multiple mutations within a short time frame. Yellow and brown rust are difficult to deal with, as they

reproduce quickly, producing up to 10,000 copies of themselves in just two weeks, he says. There are times when a new race of pathogen hits crops, creating a moving target. This happened with the Warrior race of yellow rust, which knocked out the narrow resistance in many of the wheat varieties on the AHDB RL. But even this did not affect barley, so Dr Moscou has been looking at the future of introducing targeted genes in barley and other grass species into wheat. “We have found that barley has a naturally-occurring stacked resistance of three genes that protect it from wheat yellow rust.

All three genes encode plant immune receptors, which recognise certain proteins from the pathogens. Two of these resistance genes were already transferred into wheat.” This could have been the game changer. But things do not always work out as expected, and when chromosomes containing these two genes were transferred into wheat, they were not expressed. Dr Moscou says: “This is due to the way the wheat genome is structured, so we have had to engineer strategies to promote expression of the gene. This is even more difficult than making the discovery.

Discovering how to reactivate them will be difficult. “Through this work, we started an entirely new area of understanding how to activate resistance that is lying dormant in the wheat genome.” FG

Prothioconazole boost: Improved cereal and OSR disease control Adama has announced the launch of a novel prothioconazole fungicide which uses a unique formulation to offer improved cereal and OSR disease control compared to the current market leader, the company claims. Soratel (250g/litre prothioconazole) features Adama’s new Asorbital formulation technology. Comprising a unique combination of two solvents and an adjuvant, this novel formulation, which was developed at Adama’s global R&D facility at Neot Hovav, Israel, apparently improves uptake of the fungicide into the leaf and enables excellent systemic movement of the active ingredient through the plant to the site of action against fungal cells. “With the spring rapidly approaching, our global research and development and product registration teams have been working around the clock to make Soratel available to UK growers in time for the new spraying season,” explains Mel Wardle (right), Adama’s fungicide product manager in the UK. “Our mission wasn’t simply to bring yet another generic prothioconazole product to the market, but to develop an allnew formulation of this tried and tested active ingredient that offers real and tangible benefits above and beyond those already available from other prothioconazole-based fungicides.”

EU trials have shown that, gramme for gramme per hectare, Soratel consistently and reliably provides a notable improvement in disease control under a range of conditions compared to the current market leading prothioconazole product, Ms Wardle adds. “Specifically, under UK conditions, trials have shown that Soratel is up to 13 per cent more efficacious against fusarium than the current market leader, with similar results also reported when used to treat sclerotinia in oilseed rape growing in a maritime climate,” she explains. Soratel can be used as a standalone product or as a tank mix partner with other fungicides to deliver a broader spectrum of activity and reliable disease control, Ms Wardle continues. “It offers a flexible range of application opportunities in cereals and oilseed rape and can be used at a wide range of treatment timings to provide improved protection against a broad spectrum of key diseases.” FG

Soratel uses Adama’s unique ‘Asorbital Formulation Technology’ to provide enhanced uptake and improved systemic movement in the leaf.

De-regulation could be on the cards for herbicide Bentazone – one of the few post-em herbicides for beans and the only post-em available for some challenging weeds in the pea crop – is under threat. Commonly used on beans, peas, linseed, alliums and potatoes, the chemistry is absorbed through the leaves of target plants, disrupting the photosynthesis and causing a reduction in the carbohydrate reserves. However, it is highly soluble in water and mobile in soil. As such, bentazone has been detected in both ground and surface water for many years and whilst BASF and the wider agricultural industry has had a stewardship programme in place from 2014, records show no serious reduction in the levels detected. Bentazone is due a review for re-approval in 2025. The Environment Agency will be part of the decision panel, and has made it very clear that the industry must reduce the levels and numbers of detects in water in order for it to be considered. Paul Goddard (pictured right), stewardship and value chain manager at

BASF, has been championing the Better Bentazone Together Campaign. “As bentazone can enter the water courses through both groundwater and surface, there are multiple chances for leaching so we must do everything we can culturally, and chemically, to reduce the levels,” he says. BASF and industry partners have been working with the Environment Agency and water companies to develop dip trays, manage point sources and aligning labels to offer guidance and support to growers. However, Mr Goddard feels there is more that can be done on farm. “[...] The future of bentazone has got to come from the field – it doesn’t matter if growers have 10ha or 100ha, every person who is applying bentazone has a responsibility to maintain high levels of stewardship

and help increase water quality.” Mr Goddard recommends the following five top tips: • Ensure the field is suitable before planting the crops. Shallow, stony soils on chalk, limestone, or sandstone allow water to move more readily, taking the chemistry with it. Likewise, low organic matter soil matter is a challenge as there is less to bind the soil and chemistry together. • Avoid high risk areas. You can download Magic Maps from Natural England or Check Zones from UK Gov which provide geographic information about the natural environment including the water courses, highlighting high risk areas; the Safeguard Zones and Source Protection Zones for bentazone. • Keep chemistry on the surface. Bentazone will breakdown quickly where there is good light and oxygen, so by keeping it on the surface you limit the chance of transfer whilst still protecting your crops. Avoid spraying if heavy rain is forecast in the following two days. • Consider the weather. We know farming faces many pressures, but it is important to avoid spraying your crop on wet days or when there is significant water sat in the field (fields with a shallow water table are to be avoided). The chemistry has high solubility and mobility so it will move into the water course or groundwater. • Create a no-spray zone. Having a 6m buffer zone/5m no-spray zone around the edges of the field, will help where there are high risk areas. FG

It’s about being better informed to plan a strategy; the job of the model is not to tell us that disease is present, but rather to plan for what disease will be more likely to develop in a particular variety/field etc.

Tailoring disease control to risk through Integrated Crop Management Hutchinsons head of integrated crop management, Dave Howard (right) shares his views on how disease control in wheat can be achieved within an ICM approach this season. Integrated Crop Management does not require a drastic change from the norm – in fact, many ICM principles have already been taken up over the years due to the positive effect they can have on disease management. It’s simply a more strategic approach to planning which crops and varieties to grow, assessing

where risks lie and then adapting management and inputs in response to changing weather patterns and disease levels – or visualising risk. Understanding disease risk based on early cropping decisions like variety or drilling date, and in-season monitoring of crops, is the key to using ICM successfully – which is

something many farmers are already doing without fully realising it. To make this process much simpler, Hutchinsons has developed a Wheat Disease Risk Forecasting model within Omnia. This model automatically calculates which crops are at the highest risk from disease,

taking into account all of the factors affecting disease developing in the crop – allowing the user to tailor a fungicide approach accordingly. It’s about being better informed to plan a strategy; the job of the model is not to tell us that disease is present, but rather to plan for what disease will be more likely to develop in a particular variety/field etc. This allows the user to temper that risk as much as possible, not eliminate it, by tailoring a planned fungicide approach accordingly. Factors affecting disease risk in wheat crops: • Varietal susceptibility based on AHDB RL ratings • Drilling date • Rotational position • Current and forecasted weather • Local disease levels. The model effectively takes into account the data already entered into Omnia, such as variety and drilling date, alongside the climatological data provided by the Climate tool to generate a visual risk map across the farm, illustrating which fields pose higher risks and where that risk is coming from. The weather data within the model is supplied through Omnia’s well-established Climate module, providing extremely accurate current and forecasted weather conditions for locations down to a 1km resolution.

representations of crop growth and certain growth stages. Likely spray days are then predicted, and as the weather patterns change, the calculated risk constantly evolves and fungicide programmes can then be planned more effectively. The risk is recorded through

the season to provide data for justification purposes, which is something that is becoming increasingly important. Plans are to develop a similar model for barley, and a Lodging Risk model for wheat – all of which are being trialled this spring on our Helix farms. FG

Managing disease risk The gap between T0 and T1 sprays should not exceed 3-4 weeks, and the decision on active ingredients to include in the T1 spray is determined by risk; risk from varietal susceptibility, drilling date, position in the rotation, weather conditions and location, and what was applied at T0. An anti-resistance strategy needs to be strongly considered, only using certain modes of action where they are necessary – which is best achieved by tailoring the fungicide programme to risk. This risk can now be calculated within the Disease Risk Forecasting model in Omnia, allowing for an appropriate fungicide programme to be planned, based on predicted levels of risk. Hutchinsons technical development director, Dr David Ellerton (right), gives his views on how to manage disease risk at this key timing. “Septoria remains the main disease in winter wheat, with pressure heavily dependent on rainfall in April and May. Susceptible varieties rated less than 5 should be prioritised for treatment. The strongest active against septoria is mefentrifluconazole, commonly known as Revysol. It should only be used where septoria risk is high, as with all actives, the more it is used, the higher chance there is of resistance developing. “For varieties that are at significantly lower risk from septoria, prothioconazolebased products work effectively, particularly if mixed with an SDHI. “The strongest individual SDHI for septoria control is fluxapyroxad (Xemium) while benzovindiflupyr (Solatenol) gives good persistence and excellent control of rust. On varieties with the very highest septoria ratings, any additional

SDHI will suffice. “Including a multi-site such as folpet is also important and plays a crucial role in an anti-resistance strategy. Biostimulants such as Scyon also offer an alternative disease control option, and while it is best used at T0, it can be added in at T1 as an alternative.” Dr Ellerton continues: “T0’s should have knocked out any early yellow rust which will take the pressure off at T1. If still present, additional tebuconazole may be warranted for quick knockdown while strobilurins, such as azoxystrobin or pyraclostrobin, give long-lasting protection plus physiological benefits. Consider the physiological benefits of strobilurins such as increased rooting, particularly given the wet conditions we have had; rooting will be shallow, and if we move into a period of drought later in the spring, this could be an issue for crops. SDHI’s such as benzovindiflupyr (Solatenol) can also boost rooting and help the plant become more resistant to drought. Remember that strobilurins can only be used twice in any programme. For the control of stem-based diseases such as eyespot and take-all, particularly in early sown second wheats, prothioconazole should be used. The addition of strobilurin fungicides, e.g. azoxystrobin or fluxastrobin, can help reduce take-all. Any lurking mildew can be mopped up at T1 using cyflufenamid on more susceptible varieties, crops in high risk areas in the north-west, or on organic soils. Prothioconazole is also useful for mildew control.

Is formulation a factor in yellow rust severity? Agronomist reports last season on the difficulties of controlling yellow rust was put down to a combination of late drilling, winter weather and changes to the pathogen. But research suggests that fungicide choice might have been a factor. Bayer took advantage of this ‘perfect storm’ and decided to check fungicide performance at its Cawood trial site in Yorkshire. The company applied a single application of various fungicide treatments to JB Diego, and followed up with disease assessments approximately one week and one month post application. It confirmed what had long been suspected – that there are few ‘all-rounders’ in the yellow rust fungicide armoury with most actives ideally suited to protectant or curative situations, but rarely both.

Speed of active How these curative and protectant fungicide properties differed was quite marked. Strobs stand out for their curative properties but proved to have limited persistency. Some strong protectants offer little against established disease. What it comes down to is formulation and speed of active on the pathogen. “It’s common practice to include a strob in a fungicide mixture to boost yellow rust control, but their movement on and through the leaf means they are short-lived on leaf surfaces. Our first assessments showed only small differences in

disease levels between pyraclostrobin, epoxiconazole, tebuconazole and prothioconazole treated plots. But second assessments, one month after application, revealed high disease levels in strob-treated plots. “Strob speed is an asset where the disease is established as the fungicide acts quickly against the pathogen. But for a fast-cycling disease like yellow rust, it leaves plants exposed to new infection,” says Bayer’s Rosalind Martin. With strobs at the bottom of performance tables when it comes to persistency, it is widely recognised that Elatus (prothioconazole + benzovindiflupyr) is at the top of the list. But this persistence also comes at a price, and that is impaired kick-back. “It offers protection over multiple cycles but it is weaker on established disease. In such situations, a strob or fast-moving azole is probably the better option,” adds Ms Martin.

Same active, different formulation In addition to highlighting differences between actives, the trial also confirmed the importance of formulation. Bayer-formulated Folicur (tebuconazole) was compared

to Toledo (tebuconazole) and the first assessment, just one week after application, found the Toledo-treated plots had 5 per cent more yellow rust infection severity compared to the Folicur. This confirmed what the company suspected – that SC (suspension concentrate) formulations don’t act as fast as Bayer formulated tebuconazole. Prosaro, a Bayer co-form of prothioconazole + tebuconazole, was also compared to a ‘make-yourown’ mix of generic prothioconazole and generic tebuconazole. Whilst they both performed well at the first assessment, the later assessment revealed 5 per cent more yellow rust in the generic plots, demonstrating its limited persistency compared to Bayer’s EW co-formulation. “Given the uncertainties and unpredictability of factors affecting yellow rust, both tebuconazole and prothioconazole proved themselves as the best all-round actives against the disease delivering a good balance of persistency and curativity, particularly when well formulated,” notes Ms Martin. Crop Management Partners agronomist Richard Cromie

(pictured) shares this concern over SC tebuconazole formulations. The obvious option would be to opt just for EW formulated options but spring weed control clouds the issue with T0 sprays. “With our chalky soils, we can carry a significant brome, ryegrass and wild oat burden, and Broadway Star (florasulam + pyroxsulam) is a popular spring herbicide choice. However, EW formulations are not tank mix compatible.” Where yellow rust isn’t active and the variety has proven adult resistance, then he feels an SC formulation will suffice. But take a variety like Skyfall and active disease, and he feels there is little option but to opt for an EW formulation at the T0 and apply herbicide separately. Whether we will see the same level of yellow rust threat this season remains to be seen. Mr Cromie found foci early in the winter, although it has been checked by spells of cold weather.

New race of yellow rust Following two seasons where March and April have been the driest months of the year, Mr Cromie sees yellow rust almost on a par with septoria. But he feels that last season’s outbreak wasn’t just down to the weather and late drilling. “Late drilling does aid the disease, as adult plant resistance is less developed, but I believe a new race is probably circulating.” This, and the loss of epoxiconazole and CTL, does present a slight dilemma. It has weakened the fungicide armoury and although there’s no need to re-write fungicide strategies, some thought needs to be given on which products fit best and when. And some of the newest chemistry doesn’t provide the answer. “Mefentifluconazole is a very good septoria product, but it is not the strongest for yellow rust,” he notes. With so much attention on yellow rust last season, he stresses the need to not overlook septoria. With climate variation and the speed at which severity can increase, the risk the disease presents is just too high. This needs to be factored into any fungicide programme. Mr Cromie will probably opt for prothioconazole with either bixafen + fluopyram (Ascra) or benzovindiflupyr (Elatus) for T1 and/or T2 sprays. He feels there isn’t much between them. With its dual loading of SDHI, Ascra has the edge when it comes to septoria, and Elatus for yellow rust. Only when faced with extremely active yellow rust due to stretched timings does he consider the addition of tebuconazole or a strob being necessary. He will consider a multisite at both timings, but that will depend on septoria severity. “The jury is still out for me with the variability of trial results. But I will consider an application at T1 or T2 for susceptible varieties and if the pressure is stoked up by wet weather or humid conditions.” He is pleased with the way most crops have come through the winter, but warns growers to think about N rates and applications. The risk of another dry spring means it is important to ensure crops have taken up some nitrogen early to prevent significant tiller loss through dry periods. “I can manage an overly forward thick crop to a certain extent with PGRs, but we have no control over rainfall, which is essential for effective nutrient uptake for fertiliser applications,” Mr Cromie concludes. FG

Rapid disease testing results Bayer’s Richard Philips says the latest Rapid Disease Detection tests have revealed extremely low levels of yellow rust in new leaves. “Although yellow rust is still visible at the base of crops, it isn’t active in new leaves. That could change with a spell of favourable weather and weekly testing will soon pick up any change. “We are starting to see septoria surface, and generally this more in northern and western parts, and mainly restricted to Septembersown crops. But not exclusively, as the disease has been recorded in Extase and Sundance; varieties with

strong septoria ratings.” Bayer has been using various technology since 2014 to record septoria DNA levels in the key yieldforming leaves, but to date that has been used to evaluate fungicide performance. The difference now is the speed of the test – results being returned sometimes as quickly as 48 hours. The company ran a pilot with a select group of its Forward Farmers in the 2019/20 season and decided to expand it further this season. The aim is to sample 30,000 leaves from farms as far afield as Cornwall to Fife. Each trialist farmer

As growers consider their spring disease-control strategy, they now have two new bio-fungicide options – UPL’s Iodus and Thiopron. Both are registered fungicides, that not only protect cereal crops, but also reduce the environmental impact of crop production. “Iodus is part of the solution to address the gap left by the loss of chlorothalonil,” says Greg Hanna (right), technical specialist and trials manager for UPL UK and Ireland. “Applied at T0, it utilises and optimises the crop’s own natural defence mechanisms for protection.” Iodus is registered for the control of septoria in winter wheat. Its active ingredient, laminarin, is sourced from natural products, creating a powerful yet sustainable bio-fungicide with no buffer zones or residue. “Iodus works by a process known as elicitation, where the active ingredient, laminarin, is applied in a preventative scenario, early in the season, to prime the crop’s defences ahead of the expected disease attack,” says Mr Hanna. “By priming the host plant’s defences (lignifying cell walls and producing pytoalexins), in a similar way to a vaccine, Iodus significantly reduces initial reservoirs of infection in the lower

canopy, as you would expect from a typical T0 application. [It] takes pressure off fungicide programmes applied later in the season by signalling this protection to newly developing tissues, such as the upper canopy leaves.” A single application of 0.75-litres/ha is recommended for Iodus at T0 in order to prime the developing crop ready for the season. UPL’s second post-CTL option is Thiopron – a T1 and T2-registered bio-fungicide, which offers a new costeffective multi-site product that can be integrated into a fungicide strategy. The liquid formulation contains a fine, uniform sulphur particle size. This reacts on the leaf surface to produce hydrogen sulphide gas, which is toxic to pathogens including septoria and powdery mildew. The gas works as an anti-sporulant, preventing early infections and reducing the spread of disease if it is already present, the company says. Thiopron is used at a dose rate of 2–3-litres/ ha in cereals such as wheat, barley and oats. It can be paired with triazoles and SDHIs, adding value and a return on investment by both controlling disease and increasing yields when used in a programme.

Inter-row black-grass impact NIAB senior trials manager Will Smith (right) is undertaking extensive research into the effects of black-grass, predominantly on wheat and barley crops. Mr Smith’s research has been in collaboration with the EU-led project IWM Praise, using machinery from Garford Farm Machinery, who are based in Peterborough. Since starting the trials last year, Mr Smith has focused on inter-row cultivation and investigated how different variables can affect black-grass. Field trials have been established at several sites, and will be repeated over several years, to investigate the robustness of inter-row hoeing. As with traditional weed control techniques, there is an optimum timing for treating weeds, and this aspect forms the core of the trials. He has seen many farmers suffering with the weed, and emphasises the threat of herbicide resistance which, according to one study, is estimated to result in £0.4bn in lost gross profit in England alone.

Effective herbicides Herbicides still provide high levels of control in the right conditions. Therefore, Mr Smith’s work compares a combined approach with herbicideonly and inter-row hoeing-only. He believes inter-row cultivation shows promising results for farmers suffering with black-grass. Integrated with cultural control methods, such as delayed drilling, mechanical weeding may make large steps

Camera guided

cultivations, used at the correct time, provide a measurable reduction in black-grass levels without reducing crop yield. However, hoeing needs to be used with herbicides to deliver control levels that will begin to reduce weed seed levels in the seedbank.

For his research, Mr Smith has used a Robocrop Interrow from Garford Farm Machinery. Garford Farm Machinery managing director, Philip Garford (left), says: “We have seen a significant increase of interest in using mechanical weed control for cereal crops over the past two years, and it has become clear that hoeing can provide significant control. Will’s work is crucial in quantifying the degree of control. His research supports the theory that mechanical weed removal, in conjunction with other cultural control methods, can start to reduce black-grass pressure in the long term. Garford Farm Machinery is ready to provide engineering solutions to offer high work rate, multi-section equipment.” With his research in its second year, Mr Smith’s findings show the difference that inter-row cultivation can make. He has found that inter-row

As part of NIAB’s wider role within the IWM Praise project, additional work has been undertaken to observe the interaction that row width can play when inter-row cultivations are introduced on farm. The opportunity to control more weeds has to be balanced against the risks of reducing crop performance. In a spring barley crop, the combination of wide rows and hoeing gave more control of black-grass plants, but the improved competitiveness of the crop on narrow rows gave the same level of seed return without any interrow cultivation. This relationship will be explored further in winter wheat crops in subsequent years. Mr Smith concludes: “The reality is that, as herbicides we have long relied upon start to become less effective, we must find additional tools to support them. These findings suggest that inter-row cultivation is a technology that can deliver additional, necessary control.” FG

With the kick-off to the new sugar beet season approaching, it’s time to start making the smart, key decisions that can have a big impact on your final yield. Ensuring a solid, even establishment can help suppress weed growth and forms the first step of your weed control strategy. Just one tall weed for each 1m² of crop can decrease yields by 11%*, so planning a weed control programme that is both highly effective and gives good crop safety is essential for your final yield. Betanal Tandem can help control a broad range of weeds with excellent crop safety for your young crop.

New post-em herbicide takes top spot in sugar beet weed control Bayer has introduced a new post-emergence herbicide for use in sugar beet, fodder beet and mangals that combines both contact and residual activity against a broad spectrum of weeds. Rachel Hicks reports. Sugar beet is under significant pressure following loss of crop protection products, including herbicides, seed treatments and foliar insecticides – not helped by extreme weather conditions and the return of virus yellows. Last year, virus yellows pressure in the UK was the highest it’s been since the mid-1970s, leading to yield losses of up to 80 per cent. The good news is that virus yellows pressure for this year’s crop is looking far less severe – in fact, despite an emergency derogation being put

in place for the neonicotinoid seed treatment, Cruiser SB, the official forecast by the BBRO made on 1st of March predicts that 8.37 per cent of the national sugar beet area will be affected by virus yellows by the end of August 2021 – not high enough to trigger the derogation. A condition of the emergency authorisation, which was issued by Defra in early January, was that flowering weeds in and around sugar beet crops must be effectively controlled as part of measures designed to protect beneficial insects.

Trials demonstrate that Betanal Tandem gives better control of a range of weeds than a comparable mix of straights and is also safer to the crop. However, looking at weed and volunteer pressure in greater depth, the loss of desmedipham will bring significant change to the 2021 herbicide strategy for many beet growers. Effective alternatives are available, but greater attention to crops and weed development will be required in order to gain control. Precision is key here, to manage weeds without damaging crops.

A brand farmers can trust Betanal is a well-known and respected brand, with a lasting legacy in the sugar beet field. Demonstrating strong activity against a range of broad-leaved and grass weeds and promising good crop safety, Betanal Tandem contains ethofumesate and phenmedipham in a suspension concentrate. “Betanal Tandem offers greater ease of use over straights and is approved for use with Dow Shield 400 (clopyralid) and Goltix 70 SC (metamitron) which will help to extend its continued over…

flexibility in tackling volunteer potatoes and mayweed,” says Lizzie Carr-Archer (pictured), Bayer campaign manager for root crops. “Trials demonstrate that Betanal Tandem gives better control of a range of weeds than a comparable mix of straights and is also safer to the crop,” continues Mrs Carr-Archer. “Betanal Tandem has outperformed other two-way formulations in trials, most notably on fat-hen, black-bindweed, small nettle and annual mercury with a clear uplift in efficacy compared with Powertwin. As a result, we expect Betanal Tandem to be the herbicide of choice for 2021,” she adds.

Adding an adjuvant oil Trials indicate that Betanal Tandem delivers strong control when applied with an adjuvant oil such as Mero, a methylated rape oil, with the first application timed for when the majority of the crop plants have reached fully expanded cotyledon stage. Betanal Tandem has shown good activity across a range of soils, but timing will be crucial to performance, especially where pre-emergence spray has not been applied.

On mineral soils where a preemergence herbicide has been used, the first Betanal Tandem low-volume spray can be delayed until the first flush reaches the cotyledon stage. Any early germinating susceptible weeds that are slightly larger at this time may not be killed, but field trials indicate they will be checked and then controlled by later applications. “The need to control flowering weeds such as field pansy should not be overlooked. We expect most growers to deploy Betanal Tandem across two or three applications and, in some cases, with a residual, so this should give growers good opportunity to comply with the conditions of the emergency authorisation,” says Mrs Carr-Archer. Where mayweed is present, Bayer advocates the addition of Goltix 70 SC in a mix with Betanal Tandem + oil. This will also bolster control of other weed species, such as runch, cleavers, hemp-nettle, annual meadow-grass, pale persicaria, redshank and ivy-leaved speedwell. Betanal Tandem can be applied at a maximum individual dose of 1.5-litres/ha with a maximum total dose per crop per year of 4.0-litres/ha. Inclusion of methylated rape oil is recommended for best use. Growers must not apply more than 1kg ethofumesate per hectare within any threeyear period. FG

Foliar fertiliser anticipates more eco-friendly farming rules post-Brexit Crop nutrition specialist, BFS Fertiliser Services, has released a third season of trial data which show that its foliar fertiliser, PolyNPlus, reduces the overall nitrogen requirement by at least 25 per cent while maintaining or increasing crop yields.

The agricultural industry is facing transformational reforms this year postBrexit, under the UK government’s promised comprehensive Net Zero Strategy and the Environmental Land Management Scheme, which will be rolled out by late 2024. Both are expected to entail the industry using fewer nutrients on crops in a drive to reduce their impact on the environment. PolyNPlus already anticipates these strictures and helps to reduce pollution. Formulated with ureic polymers, micronutrients and organic uptake enhancers, PolyNPlus foliar fertiliser eliminates nitrate leaching and minimises ammonia and greenhouse gas emissions. This makes it virtually 100 per cent efficient, the company claims – many mature plants, particularly cereals, use less energy by absorbing nutrients through their leaves rather than through their roots. PolyNPlus solution is safe to apply direct to the leaf, eliminating potential leaf damage. When used in a coordinated programme with soil-applied nitrogen, the result is similar or higher yields using at least 25 per cent less nitrogen than in standard farm practice.

NIAB held a series of trials on Extase winter wheat in Cirencester, which showed (see Figures 1 and 2) that when using PolyNPlus, significantly lower levels of nitrogen were required to produce comparable or better yields. Even in the very dry spring of 2020, the yields held up impressively.

Recommended usage In practical usage, provided 140–180kg of soil-applied nitrogen is used at the start of the growing season, foliar applications of PolyNPlus can replace the third application of soil-applied nitrogen, resulting in the same or higher yields using 25 per cent less nitrogen. PolyNPlus is particularly useful during dry spells – such as the one faced by farmers in the spring of 2020 – when a crop’s uptake of soilapplied nitrogen is low. In addition, PolyNPlus can be tank-mixed with crop protection products, reducing the number of passes needed, saving time and application costs – a bonus in these economically challenging times. It can also be tailor-made to farmers’ requirements for specific trace elements such as sulphur, manganese and magnesium. BFS Fertiliser Services managing director, Rosalind Platt, says: “The agriculture industry is bracing itself for significant new restrictions in the future on the type and amount of nutrients they can use to produce crops. We are continuing to refine our revolutionary PolyNPlus range of foliar nitrogen to help farmers get ahead of the game. The third year of data from independent tests on PolyNPlus demonstrates clearly that less nitrogen is needed than in standard farm practice to produce the same or improved yields while benefiting the environment.” Further trials will be undertaken this year to determine how farmers can use PolyNPlus to maximum effect.

Sprout control in potato stores:

Practical solutions for getting the best out of ethylene and mint oil AHDB Potatoes recently hosted a free webinar on best practice for the current available sprout suppressants. Rachel Hicks reports. We’re well into the potato storage season, and in the absence of CIPC many growers will already have applied mint oil and/or ethylene. While some are very familiar with these, others are completely new to them, and as Laura Bouvet of AHDB Potatoes stated upon opening the webinar, as an industry, we are all on a learning curve. Controlling sprouting with ethylene and mint oil requires a more careful approach to store management than previously experienced. With these two sprout suppressants, there are some key factors to consider, including how to optimise application rates and timings, store closure periods and the impact on CO2 levels, improving air flow and other store environment measures – all of which will have an impact on how these suppressants will work for long-term storage. Head of Sutton Bridge Crop Storage Research Adrian Cunnington (right) stated: “As a summary of

sprout suppressant availability, at the moment there’s no certainty beyond the current choices. We obviously have an emergency authorisation under very tight control on DMN, but it’s not clear if this will continue to the next season or whether full approval will be forthcoming either. “There’s a lot of work going on in the background to bring on these new actives, and reports on progress will be made as soon as AHDB can.” See Table 1 for a list of current and future options and their status.

Fresh market options Discussing the options for the fresh market, Mr Cunnington said that, while it ought to be possible to use little or no chemical in cold storage, it depends on the dormancy of the variety, whether there are extended loading periods, the impact of storage temperature on acrylamide mitigation, or whether the temperature of storage varies across the store due to airflow, insulation etc. For longer term storage,

** A limited volume of 1,4 SIGHT® DMN is currently available for qualifying crops under a closely-controlled emergency approval

growers may need to accept that an in-store treatment has to be used, with the two primary options being spearmint oil and ethylene. According to Mr Cunnington, there has been some evolution of the label for spearmint oil, so he recommends that growers speak to their contractor before using this chemical in order to ensure proper use. In the UK, the distributor for spearmint oil is Juno Plant Protection LLP, sold under the name Biox-M. It’s a crucial requirement before applying mint oil to ensure the crop is completely dry before application. In order to do this, AHDB’s advice is to: • Run fans without cooling for at least 24 hours prior to application • Work with your contractor to ensure the store is set up correctly • Use reduced speed fans to recirculate mint oil – need to strike a balance between moving enough air/fog and risking localised concentrated deposits of chemical on the crop which could lead to oil ‘burn’. The other treatment option for stores is ethylene, which is applied through Restrain generators or via Safestore cylinders. It doesn’t have a great deal of residual action, so is widely used in fresh markets but not so suitable when it comes to shelf-life markets. There is a caution on using ethylene in chip shop varieties, said Mr Cunnington, as there are concerns around the lack of research into ethylene sensitivity for a number of chipping varieties. “We are definitely not using

ethylene or mint oil as a ‘plug and play’ option as a direct replacement for CIPC,” explained Mr Cunnington. “In order to work with the chemistry, we need to look at combinations of sprout suppression products, management of closure periods and consequences, and choice of temperature and variety.”

Changing practices for potato storage Mr Cunnington iterated that attention to detail is incredibly important, with store sealing, flushing methodology and temperature all playing a key part. “We don’t want products like ethylene leaking out into other stores where it is less suitable. It’s expected that we will see an increased use of refrigerated storage compared with ambient, when it comes to storage using these chemicals.” In combination treatment trials for both the fresh and processing markets, AHDB Potatoes found that the use of maleic hydrozide (MH) in addition to the other chemical options gives a significant improvement of sprout control over MH-free and this residual control is something that needs to be understood better (see Figures 1 and 2). When considered at 30 weeks, the research shows that the residual component of MH provides a level of control across shelf-life which isn’t being afforded by the MH free treatments, so it’s important to consider the impact and value of MH – the likes of which hasn’t been seen otherwise since the loss of CIPC. continued over…

AHDB is also running a significant amount of testing on chipping and crisping varieties in terms of their reaction to ethylene. The data it has gathered is based on one year’s work from a single trial with around 50 varieties tested, but AHDB is quick to point out that there are some anomalies and variations within the data, so at this stage it is treating it with caution. At least another year’s data needs to be under the belt before making recommendations. Of course, cost is always going to be a driving factor when deciding on treatment options. Table 2 suggests some long-term storage scenarios for the processing market, comparing price for each suppressant regime and comparing the level of risk. One thing is clear from the data – particularly for long-term storage, the main consideration is that we need newer longer-term dormant varieties which don’t require such reliance on chemicals.

Integrated potato store management: Mr Cunnington summarised by saying IPM is the key for the future of potato storage. While chemical treatments are the final piece of the puzzle, growers need to ensure good management and intervention, by ensuring a good level of physical and biological cultural controls (e.g. temperature, drying, atmospheric composition), managing risk using monitoring and assessment, decision support, and disease and quality forecasting, being cleverer in the way we predict our store qualities so we only store the varieties that give

Biox-M

DMN

the best returns, and that looking at the bottom of the production triangle, we need a strong base in terms of genetic traits – offering low temperature tolerance, reduced acrylamide formation, and longer natural dormancy.

Effect of store closure on CO2 levels SBCSR crop storage scientist Adrian Briddon (left) also spoke at the webinar. He added that, while both ethylene and mint oil have previously been used in the packing sector, their use in the processing market has given rise to some significant changes in practice (alluded to earlier by Mr Cunnington, when he mentioned the label changes for Biox-M). One key difference is the greater frequency of applications and reapplications, not to mention the store closure period. At this stage, the idea is to prevent active ambient air exchange. With CIPC this was straightforward – 6–8 hours after application was complete, the fog was settled and growers could flush the store without losing treatment products. With Biox-M however, the store must be kept sealed for 48 hours minimum – although if the store is part-filled, it should be left for even longer. This gives rise to the issue of CO2, which is created by the potatoes and which cannot be expelled when the store is sealed for such a long period without active ventilation. This means CO2 could accumulate in the store. Following trials with Biox-M, with a store closure of three days rather than

Arable two, there was a dramatic effect on the CO2 levels. While there is a human health implication here, the potatoes seem unaffected with no change to fry colour as long as ethylene is absent. Mr Briddon then stated, however, that “exposing crops to CO2, if they then have a sniff of ethylene, is damaging. We therefore must not use conventional foggers – we must use electric or heat exchange foggers only for extended closure periods, if using Biox-M for sprout control.”

Impact of ethylene on fry colour When it comes to ethylene, all the work at Sutton Bridge in recent years has used the 10ppm rate initially introduced by Restrain. That said, Mr Briddon did point out that external

literature suggests the rate can go down to 4ppm without affecting efficacy, although this has not been confirmed in AHDB trials to date. What is clear is that ethylene influences fry colour, and this effect can be slight or severe. Mr Briddon pointed out that, with careful management, there can be a negligible effect on fry colour however. Using Biox-M as the industry standard, as long as there is careful management with the initial start-up, fry colour issues are more about risk than actual issues. Wider use for chips seems appropriate, but there is a level of nervousness on the crisping aspect. Mr Cunningham concluded the webinar by saying: “At the end of the day, we need to get all the best tools into the toolbox and this might take a bit of time.” FG

He said he has seen acceptable levels of control in bulk stores, but that results haven't been as good in boxed stores. In order to increase levels of control in the boxed stores, he has had to increase air flow in order to move the chemical around the space, as he was finding there were pockets which weren’t being touched by it. As far as the application regime is concerned, this is being carried out by a respected contractor, using one of the new heat exchange fogging systems which, Mr Davey says, seems to have reduced the risk of CO2 build-up. On top of that, he is also not seeing deterioration of sugars or fry quality, allowing them to keep the stores closed a little longer to improve the efficacy of the control. Typically, he is leaving stores closed for 72 hours as a rule, as he is finding that gives better control rather than early applications at 48 hours. A couple of stores have been closed for slightly longer, with better scorching back of the sprouts and no issues with fry colour. Mostly he is using a 60ml/t dosage, occasionally 90ml where it’s been needed but that’s not manageable in the long term as the regular dose for the bulk stores. Mr Davey reckons MH has definitely been giving an advantage this season, showing the benefits of good MH uptake. He has concerns they may struggle in seasons where there is less good MH uptake and considers DMN an interesting potential option for the future.

Spearmint oil: delivering real results on farm In the absence of CIPC, many farms are relying on alternatives to provide sprout control in their potato stores. Rachel Hicks spoke to one specialist farmer who has been using Biox-M spearmint oil for his latest harvest, destined for the crisping market. Biox-M is a natural sprout inhibitor applied in-store to potatoes destined for the fresh and processing markets. It has been used by some British potato growers since 2012 – however, its regular use is comparatively new, and is a result of the withdrawal of approval for chlorpropham (CIPC). Spearmint oil is applied as a hot fog into

the store, which quickly becomes a vapour. The vapour is volatile, and requires even delivery throughout the potato store, then stores need to be securely closed in order to prevent the oil from escaping, especially in large quantities – otherwise, efficacy will be compromised. North Norfolk-based LG Harrison & Sons is

a mixed farm based at Stiffkey, and is run by Matthew Harrison. The farm specialises in early and maincrop potato production, produced on contract for Kettle Foods, who are based in Norwich. Mr Harrison produces and stores around 4,000t of spuds, in particular Lady Rosetta, Markies and Alcander varieties for their crisping prowess. Bulk stores are used rather than boxed, and the latest crop received treatment with maleic hydrazide in the field, followed by one treatment of Biox-M spearmint oil this year, which was applied in January. A dosage of 75ml/t was used, with fans set at 15 per cent power during application, followed by a further 60 hours at 75 per cent power. Stores were closed for the full 60-hour duration. Mr Harrison isn’t currently monitoring CO2 levels in-store. When discussing his results, Mr Harrison said that no problems at all have been reported with fry colour in the potatoes. In terms of the burning-off of sprouts, sprouts up to 25cm long disappeared following treatment, and there have been no observable issues with burn on the potatoes themselves. He moved the potatoes in the first week of March, at which point eyes were only just opening. In conclusion, Mr Harrison said his opinion of Biox-M was that there was “fantastic control, especially compared to how they had looked” and further commented that “while it would be difficult to comment on costs and comparison to CIPC after only one treatment, we have seen a great result”.

Tackling seed- and soil-borne pathogens in root crops

With the news that the emergency authorisation for Vydate submitted by AHDB has been rejected by HSE, soil pest control in root crops is now harder than ever. Rachel Hicks reports. The EA rejection of Vydate follows the earlier decision not to re-authorise Vydate for sale, distribution and use in the UK beyond 31st December 2020 and means that growers of potatoes, carrots, parsnips, onions, garlic and shallots can no longer use it. Manufacturer Corteva Agriscience has advised that all full, part-full and empty Vydate 10G Ecolite containers should be returned to suppliers by 15th April, to allow sufficient time to meet the 30th April deadline for removal of Vydate 10G from the market. Vydate has long been the industry standard for PCN control in short-season potato crops and for suppression of freeliving nematodes in potatoes, carrots and parsnips. Its loss will affect around 20 per cent of the GB potato area, according to Scottish Agronomy’s Eric Anderson. Growers will need to assess alternatives swiftly and Mr Anderson advises weighing up product performance, the capital cost of application equipment and use period, together with the practicality of application. As can be seen from Table 1, Velum Prime can now be used for the control of free-living nematodes (FLN) on parsnip crops after AHDB Horticulture was granted an extension of authorisation for minor use (EAMU) in this crop. The news will likely be welcomed by parsnip growers who have been contemplating how to protect crops since authorisation for oxamyl was withdrawn at the end of 2020. The EAMU allows for Velum Prime to be applied using a horizontal boom sprayer at a rate of 0.625-litres/ha in a water volume of 250–500-litres per hectare. Other restrictions on its use are that no more than one application in two years and cardoons, celeries, Florence fennels and crops belonging

to the category ‘other stem vegetables’ must not be planted as succeeding crops. Nor can Velum Prime be used to target sclerotinia, while the first fungicide applied after drilling must belong to a different mode of action group in the interests of resistance management.

Managing rhizoctonia AHDB Potatoes recently hosted a webinar entitled ‘Let’s get (bio)physical’, which discussed the importance and impact of rhizoctonia solani as a soil-borne pathogen of potatoes and other crops. Dr Matthew Back (left), who is a reader in plant nematology at Harper Adams University, was the primary speaker on the topic, based around this necrotrophic fungus which is responsible for stem and stolon canker and black scurf. Dr Back explained that the ubiquitous soil-borne fungus can be found in a number of different soils worldwide, and can infect a range of over 136 different species of plants, including cereals and some weeds. Some key problems it causes are bare patch in wheat, root and crown rot in sugar beet and bottom rot in lettuce. It primarily causes tissue to die, so that it can feed on this dead tissue.

Impact on marketable fraction On potatoes, stem canker shows as brown lesions and necrotic collars which can get progressively worse and prune off the stems. Potatoes are resilient and produce second stems in response, which can then be pruned off by rhizoctonia again, and this cycle continues. The diseased plant is then further affected by shading from the canopies of healthy plants around it. Stolon canker doesn’t cause a reduction in yield necessarily (although can result in yield loss of up to 30 per cent), but on plants with infected

Table 1 Vydate alternatives Product (active substance)

stolons, the remaining tubers can become much larger to the point where they are oversized, and there can also be an increase in the number of too-small tubers. Therefore, marketable fraction is what’s impacted, rather than total yield. Giraffe neck or elephant hide is a netted scab effect caused by rhizoctonia (pictured left), which can either affect large parts of the skin, or cause deep indents in the potato. Even tubers which look disease-free may not actually be – they may still have black scurf or internal rust spots which are believed to be associated with calcium deficiency.

Rhizoctonia is attracted to the plant by the developing shoots, which secrete sugars that stimulate the growth of the fungus. In terms of managing rhizoctonia, there’s so much genetic variance within the fungus that it’s a difficult one to breed resistance for. Inversion tillage could reduce the viability of the sclerotia form of the fungus, as studies have shown that the deeper it is buried, the quicker its effects are reduced. Soils that are high in organic matter often contain mites and springtails, which feed on fungi – so in healthy soils which are rich in organic matter, there are often naturally fewer problems with rhizoctonia. Verticillium biggutatum, which can be found in many UK soils, is a parasite for fungi so would also reduce rhizoctonia incidences, so Dr Back reckons there’s potential for a novel biological solution in this area, if someone were to do the appropriate studies. FG

Tips for managing rhizoctonia solani

Weed management, as they are potential hosts for rhizoctonia Certified seed limits the amount of black scurf accepted on the seed Don’t leave potatoes in the ground longer than they need to be, as when tubers and roots start to rot, it encourages rhizoctonia to the area to feed on the dead matter.

Making plans for bare land Most spring beans, spring barley or spring wheat are already in the ground and growers may have land destined for maize, grass or environmental crops, with plenty of time still to sow these. However, some may also have land that is bare and are not too sure what to do with it. The NAAC offers the following advice.

When planning your options, it is worth first considering what you intend to do with the land next in the rotation. Do you have time to get a spring-sown crop in and harvest it prior to the optimum time to drill the next crop? Is the soil structure good, or has it been damaged by late-lifted crops such as maize, sugar beet or potatoes? How easy is it going to be to get a reasonable seedbed? The key questions to ask of any cropping plan

are is it feasible, is it profitable, and is it worthwhile? If the soil structure is badly damaged or wet, a fallow might be the best option. However, there is still the option to plant a cover crop later in the spring or summer. A cover crop will help to dry the land out, improve soil structure and add fertility to the soil with the right seed mixture. If the soil structure is fair, then consider if you can still sow a profitable crop. The first thing to consider is, what is the market you are looking to supply? A

local market is usually the best to keep transport costs down. When sowing spring combinable crops, it can be best to use your own farm-saved seed to help keep production costs down as spring-sown crops are usually lower yielding than their winter counterparts. Spring barley or oats will be the most vigorous cereal options if you end up sowing later than you would normally choose, requiring only a short growing season. It is generally best to ensure a good seedbed though, as these crops need to grow away unchecked. If you are looking to grow an alternative combinable crop, then peas, linseed and spring OSR are worth considering. Peas have a short growing season and are best sown into warm soil. It is important to protect them from pea and bean weevils at establishment and from wood pigeons throughout the life of the crop. Quality is key to getting a sample for premium markets, and careful timing of harvest is vital to keep sample colour and quality. Peas are early to harvest and fix nitrogen in the soil to benefit a following crop. Linseed is an option, but the later you sow, the more difficulties can arise at harvest time. Flax flea beetles and wood pigeons can be a problem at establishment, so crops need to be carefully monitored in the spring. The planted area of winter OSR is at a long-term low in the UK and so spring OSR rape could be a good option for some farmers, although pests during early flowering can be a problem. Soils need to be fertile and moisture retentive, but prices for OSR look attractive for harvest 2021 and beyond. FG

Maize crop which received a post-em weed control spray with Gyo.

Improving maize yields for feed and AD How effective weed control, changing the nutrition strategy and under-sowing maize with grass can deliver positive results. growers in the region include tackling key problem weeds such as black nightshade, cranesbill, fumitory, mayweed and mugwort. “On weed control, there are certainly big challenges ahead this year. The loss of Calaris and, more recently, Bromoxynil, means growers must now plan earlier and fully commit to a strong pre-emergence spray to reduce early weed pressure, giving them more time to tailor post-emergence sprays to the specific weed burden in each particular field. “Pendimethalin is generally effective as a pre-emergence spray when applied at 1,200g/ha, but can struggle with weeds such as cranesbill and mugwort so I will be following up with Gyo (pyridate) partnered with Elumis – an oil dispersion formulation combining nicosulfuron and mesotrione – as my key postemergence spray. I try to time this spray at the 4-leaf growth stage along with an application of multi-nutrient foliar feed such as Zeama which comprises phosphate, potassium, magnesium and zinc. “Gyo is an important inclusion in the tank mix, not just because of its crop safety, but also for its reliability

and speed of knockdown on both larger and newly emerging weeds. Unlike Elumis, it has no following crop restrictions [...] and it’s a ‘must’ in situations where a pre-emergence spray couldn’t be applied. “Remember to keep water volumes at 200-litres/ha to ensure good crop coverage,” Mr Luty adds. Improving maize yield is not just about effective herbicide strategies, and Sam has also identified benefits in under-sowing maize with grass during establishment to improve soil structure, reduce soil erosion, prevent nutrient leaching and, when

Following the recent loss of two post-emergence herbicides alongside some unpredictable and extreme weather patterns across much of the UK, there is little doubt that achieving good maize yields has been more challenging for many growers during the last two years. But, as agronomist Sam Luty (right) points out, you cannot control weather or product withdrawals, so concentrate on the things you can control – such as establishment, nutrition strategies and early weed control in order to get your maize crop off to the best possible start. “I joined Agrovista in 2012 and currently advise on over 500ha of maize, covering mainly North and West Yorkshire,” he says. “It’s a large region, with a diverse maize customer base made up of livestock farms growing whole crop maize, arable farms growing maize for anaerobic digestion (AD) and, in South Yorkshire, a number of grain maize growers. As a company, Agrovista has put significant resource into maize trials, helping farmers to improve areas such as establishment, weed control and maximising the benefits of undersowing maize with grass.” Specific challenges for maize

relevant, provide valuable winter grazing for livestock. “It’s important to understand that if it is done correctly, growing maize and grass together will protect soil and, in many cases, can enhance yield due to its flexibility achieved at harvest allowing growers to select their optimum time to chop the maize crop. “During drilling, you must achieve a 25cm gap between grass and maize to prevent the grass smothering the maize, as well as competing for light, water and nutrients. My favoured timing for under-sowing grass is at the 4-6 leaf growth stage of the maize crop using a mix of fescue and perennial ryegrass found in products such as Technisward Enviromax. This mix has been tested and specifically designed based on trials carried out by Agrovista. “If the key steps are followed correctly then there should be no adverse effect on yield with farmers also benefiting from improved soil quality and reduced nutrient leaching. With environmental legislation on growing maize potentially set to change, under-sowing could be a key way to future proof the crop. “One final step towards improving maize yields is the precision application of starter fertilisers such as diammonium phosphate (DAP), ensuring the required nitrogen and phosphate are readily available to the developing maize crop during its critical early growth stage. “Even in late season maize is still very nitrogen hungry, so I would also recommend a foliar application of the controlled-release nitrogen fertiliser MZ28, applied at the 8–10-leaf growth stage. This is particularly effective when growers are seeking good cob formation, as once the crop reaches its full height it is impossible to make a further pass of nitrogen,” Mr Luty concludes. FG

Metaldehyde guidelines must be followed Growers applying metaldehyde slug pellets to cereals or potatoes this spring must continue to follow best practice stewardship guidelines, despite the upcoming withdrawal of the active, urges the MSG. The call comes in reaction to water companies reporting the worst autumn for exceedances of the drinking water standard, in raw water, since 2017. David Cameron (pictured), chairman of the Metaldehyde Stewardship Group (MSG), the industry body set up to promote responsible use of metaldehyde, explains the current withdrawal status. “Stocks of the slug pellet cannot be sold after the end of February 2021, but farmers may continue to use up existing stocks until 31st March 2022. We’re therefore urging

“

Across the UK, we saw a total of 168 exceedances of the drinking water standard in raw water abstracted by water companies last autumn. responsible use of pellets right up until the end of the use-up period to help stop metaldehyde reaching watercourses in all areas of the UK, especially in drinking water catchments.” He notes that the wet weather experienced last autumn was very similar to that of 2017, and these weather patterns make water catchments particularly vulnerable.

Alister Leggatt, catchment manager at Affinity Water, who represents Water UK, highlights the impact this had on water companies in managing water supply within drinking water standard parameters. “Across the UK, we saw a total of 168 exceedances of the drinking water standard in raw water abstracted by water companies last autumn. “For one company, this led to 14 abstraction facilities for reservoirs being shut for a total of 127 days, when they should be filled to cope with demand for water in the summer. This issue has had a knockon impact on our ability to provide safe and affordable drinking water to our networks in a number of regions.” In light of this, Dr Cameron reminds growers of the key stewardship guidelines. “Metaldehyde slug pellets must only by used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programme. Factors such as soil and stubble management, planting methods, weather, trapping and monitoring should all be considered as part of slug control programmes. And, if treatment is necessary, it’s imperative to refer to the full set of MSG guidelines. “[...] it’s critical that this continues right up until the use-up deadline date of 31st March 2022 to safeguard water quality and support the water companies.” FG

together; the Biodiversity Metric enables an easy baseline calculation of likely impact of a change in the landscape and essentially could attract a payment via self-verification of the act of conversion. This can now be done with geotagged photographs and machine learning recording systems. The same system may also be able to record biodiversity successes, such as finding individual marker species on a site which could attract top-up results-based payments. This could develop under the ELMS system.

Biodiversity: a viable land use option? Farm consultancy expert Mark Russell, a partner at Carter Jonas, shares the results of a recent exercise with a new landowner, who was looking at what to plant and why. The project flagged some of the problems the arable industry faces. The area of land involved in the exercise was relatively small, so farming in-hand with their own kit was never an option – which means that, via a contractor, the actual cost of growing a crop is going to be seen up front. With a small arable area (40ha) the two main options were: An energy crop – more certain returns, but harder on the land. A cereal regime with some fertility building included – better for the land but, in reality, unlikely to even wash its face. The client opted for the flexibility of the cereal rotation, with a view that building fertility alongside the cropping plan would be a good thing, and that they will broadly wait and see what comes through ELMS and how useful this will be to them when it arrives.

Carbon and biodiversity Looking forward, if England is to do its part in the move to descale environmental impacts, new landowners like this will need to be

encouraged to store more carbon and increase on-site biodiversity, without a detrimental impact on the main factors driving the purchase – including privacy. There are a couple of ways already up for consideration: Planting more woodland qualifying for the Woodland Carbon Scheme. Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) – it is possible that some of the land (say 3ha) could be dedicated to this use. The BNG market is in its infancy, but we believe this could generate about 10–15 BNG units. Other Natural Capital income streams are likely to come forward in the next few years: flood relief to immediate properties, farming to reduce nitrates to enable development, leisure-based access, environmental service bonds and more. What the landowner would like is a simple, no-other-strings-attached payment per annum for the wider public good of producing biodiversity. The pieces are coming

A ‘whole landscape’ issue There also needs to be a recognition that wildlife (fauna) and the control thereof is a whole landscape issue. For example, deer browse new and existing woodland, arable fields, grass margins, hedgerows, carrot tops and turf, moving between numerous landholdings without worrying about who controls which piece of land. For the next generation of biodiversity-encouraging schemes to work, carefully planned management of some species will need to occur to allow whole ecosystems to develop. Inclusion of these needs to be a feature in the ELMS scheme as a base requirement. If the public would like floristic and structural improvements (bluebells at ground level) in woodlands, and mixed woodland in the wider landscapes (to enhance the overall biodiversity), deer of all species will need to be managed. Long term, I can see the landowner entering ELMS and using the scheme to enhance the overall amenity value of the land which will allow the new owner to enjoy the asset more, to provide a biodiversity uplift to the local environment, and to provide employment for a contractor expanding their local operations. However, this will come at a cost to the landowner, even if only in terms of opportunity lost via the energy crops route. Tax is still a big driver. Previously, there was a scheme that enabled set-aside land to still qualify effectively for Agricultural Property Relief, even though it was not being actively farmed. The government needs to put in place a similar relief/allowance so that those moving from farming to an environmentally-led land use are able to get IHT relief.

Fendt has updated its flagship 1100 Vario MT rubber-tracked crawlers. Four models offering 511–673hp are all equipped with Vario CVT transmission and a ‘proper’ suspension system.

Versatile power and traction CVT transmissions are now standard on Fendt’s largest 1100 Vario MT rubber-tracked crawlers, having previously only been available on 900 Vario MT models. David Williams tried out the first of the new 1100-series tractors to arrive in the UK. In 2019, the previous range of Challenger 700and 800-series twin-track crawlers was replaced by a Fendt branded line-up, carrying 900- and 1100-series model designations. However, the most significant change resulted from a big investment in research and development as the new 900series was equipped with a highly efficient Fendt Vario CVT transmission – replacing the previous powershift unit. Larger Fendt 1100-series models retained much of their previous specification including the powershift transmission. Fendt has for many years promoted the benefits of its Vario CVT transmissions, including improved working efficiencies without the confines of restrictive fixed gear ratios, faster and smoother headland turns and greater ease of use. So, it was only a matter of time until CVT transmission became standard on the larger 1100-series too.

Flagship line-up There are four new 1100 Vario MT models, with 511–673hp. Power is from MAN engines – all with six cylinders and in two sizes; 15.2 litres in the three smaller models and 16.2 litres in the flagship 1167 Vario MT. All achieve Stage 5 emissions standards using EGR, a DOC, a DPF and SCR (AdBlue). Peak torque is between 1,100–1,500rpm, and the typical working speed range is 1,000–1,700rpm with an idling speed of just 800rpm. Engine cooling is by a hydraulic-driven fan with its own oil reservoir, pump and circuit. Air for combustion is drawn in through vents at the top and front of the bonnet, and passes through a venturi where most dust is removed before the air passes through the main filter. In tests carried out by the manufacturer comparing the previous Challenger 875E with the Fendt 1162 Vario MT; the new model demonstrated significant fuel savings. Independent tests are due to be carried out in the near future to confirm the findings.

VarioDrive The CVT transmission is the same unit as fitted to 900-series MT crawlers, but with upgraded final drives. The operating concept is also similar and based on that used for the 1000 Vario-series wheel tractor allowing maximum power to be transmitted when needed, but also allowing fuel-efficient disengagement of one of the drive motors at high travel speeds. Both hydromotors drive to the rear axle, but swivel independently of each other. This allows the second hydromotor to automatically disconnect at high travel speeds when unladen to eliminate drag, and the first hydromotor then connects mechanically to minimise power loss. For maximum pulling power at lower speeds, both motors engage.

the track assemblies and perform the role of a conventional front axle – allowing independent movement of the tracks on each side. Each track assembly includes front track rollers, rear drive rollers, and four pairs of central track rollers between the main rollers to spread the wight and maximise traction. The new central ‘Longlife’ rollers are 380mm diameter – 30mm larger than before for a slower rotation speed and reduced heat build-up. continued over…

‘Proper’ suspension The new 1100 Vario MT models all have SmartRide suspension which is similar to the 900 Vario MT series. Whereas previous Challenger models had only soft rubber blocks to absorb the bumps, the Fendts have large coil springs just behind the front track rollers which insulate the chassis from

The track carriers are upgraded and include four pairs of bogie-mounted centre rollers for even weight distribution and optimum contour following.

MAN 6-cyl engines with 15.2 and 16.2 litres capacity provide the power. Service intervals are now 500 hours. …from previous page

New construction techniques include a patented polyurethane ring which is resistant to heat and tearing, and increases the track service life. These are also easily replaced. The central rollers are in four pairs mounted on two sets of carrier bogies which are in turn mounted on pivots, allowing each pair to move independently for accurate ground contour following. On tractors equipped with optional SmartRideplus suspension; the vertical main springs work in combination with adjustable hydraulic dampers. These automatically adjust during work to distribute the weight effectively, and maintain the most efficient working attitude to achieve maximum traction. Manual adjustment allows the nose of the crawler to be lowered to pick up or drop off front weights. Standard cab suspension uses rubber blocks, but this can be upgraded to springs.

this has been moved 80mm further forward than on previous Challenger machines. The result is improved turning action on headlands, giving increased directional stability and reducing scuffing. If an obstruction in the field pulls the implement to one side then the attachment can swerve around it while the tractor’s tracks remain in the correct position. On headlands, less effort is needed for steering and there is reduced wear. The amount of available movement can be adjusted hydraulically on the Varioterminal, and the implement can be ‘steered’ to achieve a permanent offset which also allows its use compensating for slip on side slopes. For tasks such as drilling there is the opportunity to set the system to keep the drawbar in a fixed position for accurate row spacing, but release it to float on the headlands for easier turns. Implement braking isn’t standard, but a combined air and hydraulic system is available as an option.

VarioGuide Fendt GPS automatic steering is available allowing positioning accuracy to within 2cm, and the 1100 Vario MT can be specified with Trimble or NovAtel receivers. Headland turn-assist is a new feature which allows headland turns to be completed automatically with a prompt from the driver. Maximum turning angles can be easily set for soil protection and to prevent accidental contact of the implement with the tracks. The Fendt multifunction joystick is an option and comes with the

Deluxe Armrest. Machine set-up and monitoring is through the 10.4in VarioGuide touchscreen. Operation is through the Fendt multifunction armrest and joystick. Isobus is standard and there are two camera connectors.

Test drive Farmers Guide spent several hours operating the 1162 Vario MT on land farmed by Cheveley Park Farms Ltd. The farm’s Keeble Bros Progressive heavy cultivator consisting of two rows of front discs followed by cultivating tines, then subsoiling legs working to a depth of 19in, followed by a rear packer provided a good test of the tractor’s power and traction. The cab is spacious and bright, and visibility is excellent. The operator seat swivels up to 10 degrees left and 40 degrees right, making it easy to keep an eye on implements at the rear. The passenger seat is large and comfortable. Controls are typically Fendt in their appearance and operating logic, including the easy-to-use display set-up menus. An additional ‘window’ not seen before was the set-up for the rear linkage fitted to the demonstration tractor. This allows the user to restrict the amount of drawbar and linkage swing available to either side if required, and to lock it in any position just by touching the terminal. Working speeds were set and saved for automatic recall as part of the headland turn sequence. At each headland turn, tapping the foot continued over…

Hydraulics Hydraulic services come with an impressive standard 220-litre flow capacity, but for more demanding applications a pair of pumps can be specified giving up to 440 litres of either combined or independent flow, with maximum rates achieved at only 1,700rpm. Up to eight spools can be fitted, or six if the tractor has the optional rear linkage.

Efficient pull The standard rear drawbar swivels up to 28 degrees to either side, and the optional hydraulic linkage can also pivot up to 12 degrees. The swinging action effectively ‘moves’ the pivot point between the tractor and implement further forward between the tracks, and on the new Fendt models

The drawbar can swivel up to 28 degrees and the optional rear linkage pivots up to 12 degrees with the amount of movement adjusted hydraulically.

The view to the implement at the rear is excellent, but the optional rear linkage obstructs the operator's view of the drawbar when hitching up to implements.

Machinery It is always smooth and progressive and whereas speed adjustment with a powershift transmission involves a series of jolts as the gear ratios alter, this isn’t an issue with CVT. The test field was on a slight slope and soil conditions varied, but Fendt’s iD management system worked efficiently, maintaining an almost constant travel speed between 9.9–10.5kph while the engine revs remained around 1,420–1,520rpm, settling most of the time at 1,460rpm. Fuel consumption averaged 21 litres/ha with the subsoiling tines at 19 inches deep at approximately 10kph. Auto-steer through the Varioterminal worked well including where softer wet ground was encountered on one side resulting in reduced traction. There was no sign of characteristic twintrack ‘twitching’ as steering adjustments were made smoothly and accurately.

Verdict The cab is large and comfortable. Ride quality is excellent and there is little whine from the CVT transmission.

…from previous page

Quiet and comfortable

throttle overrides and cancels the cruise control speed, then the foot pedal is used through the turn to select an appropriate speed. When the tractor reaches a suitable position then tapping the autosteer engagement button locates the nearest guidance line and the tractor positions itself for the return bout. Pressing ‘Go’ on the joystick lowers the implement and then the tractor accelerates to the pre-set working speed. Once this is achieved, Fendt’s iD low-speed management concept takes over control to select a suitable gear ratio for the target speed while reducing the engine revs to the minimum required for maximum fuel economy.

The cab is very quiet and there is little whine from the CVT transmission, even when full power is being delivered accelerating after headland turns. The SmartRide-plus suspension effectively absorbed most of the track vibration at all working speeds. The ride quality was similar to a high horsepower conventional wheeled tractor, and where there were ruts in the field the bridging effect of the tracks gave a smoother ride than would have been possible on wheels. The biggest difference between the new Fendt and previous Challenger models is the improved comfort from the CVT transmission.

Equipping Fendt’s larger crawlers with Vario CVT transmission and ‘proper’ suspension will increase their appeal to current Challenger users as well as those using competitor brands. For farmers and contractors worried about headland scuffing and ridging during turns, the improved pivoting drawbar and linkage will help, while the hydraulic offset adjustment will increase accuracy for precision operations. The machine tested by Farmers Guide will be back in mainland Europe by the time this magazine is published, but a slightly more powerful 1167 Vario MT has been ordered by Fendt UK as its demonstrator and will arrive shortly. Judging by comments from Rob Bliss (below left) – the first farm operator in the UK to try the latest 1100 Vario series – it’s certainly worth considering. FG

Experienced user’s view The host farm’s Challenger 875C crawler clocks up 1,550–1,600 hours per year, and spends most of this time pulling the Keeble Progressive cultivator. “We start in August and cultivations for our vegetable crops continue until late May,” explained its main operator Rob Bliss who is employed by Cheveley Park Farms. “I was sceptical about the new CVT transmission and its performance in such a demanding application, but having used the Fendt for several hours I’m very impressed. I didn’t detect any loss of power when it was pulling hard, and with the cultivating tines at 19 inches deep the Fendt achieves 10kph at only 1,500rpm, whereas my Challenger would be running at 1,800rpm in the same situation, and the stepless speed adjustment gives a much smoother ride. “I can’t even begin to describe the ride quality – the new suspension is amazing. When I’m on the road in my own tractor and the travel speed increases, there is much more noise and vibration so I keep my speed down. However, the new Fendt’s low noise level and comfort make it easy to let the speed creep up, and I had to keep remembering the heavy cultivator behind.” Rob was impressed by the updated cab, and commented that it retains the best features from his Challenger. “From the outside the Fendt’s exhaust pipe appears huge, but it

doesn’t interfere with the forward vision which surprised me. My own tractor has no rear linkage so I have a clear view of the drawbar, but I found that having it fitted on the Fendt demonstrator made it harder to see while reversing up to implements. However, that’s a minor issue and if we bought the tractor then the situation would be easily improved by fitting a camera. I really am impressed by the Fendt.”

Fendt tractor product specialist Peter Henson is looking forward to receiving a flagship 1167 Vario MT demonstration machine and believes there will be considerable interest from current Challenger users, as well as those using other brands.

Lone working feature added to safety app Award-winning safety app Smart Farmer has introduced the latest in a series of new features, which aims to improve safety for lone workers. Aberdeenshire farmer Marc Skivington, the man behind Smart Farmer, has announced the launch of a brand-new lone working feature. Added to the existing Smart Farmer app, the feature allows users to set times for the start and end of their day. Managers can select a time frame for checking if the operator is still in the same location (e.g. every 15 minutes, every hour etc). If the operator is still in the same place after the selected timeframe, an alert will be sent to the admin user,

Features

encouraging them to call the operator or drive out to ensure they are safe. Smart Farmer has released a range of other updates this year, including risk assessments and training documents. Users can now upload PDF risk assessments to the Smart Farmer app and add mitigative actions, giving the operator a green, amber or red risk level. The user can see the uploaded risk assessment on the app before operating machinery. In addition, users can upload PDF training documents and create

multi-choice questions, allowing machinery operators to train as they go and set dates for refresher courses. Another feature under development is ‘field hazards’, which will allow users to create field names, boundaries and points of hazards – ranging from overhead power cables to public footpaths and schools – using simple keys in the app. Once in the field, the operator will be made aware of the hazard through ping notifications.

Smart Farmer was created by Marc to help him carry out machinery maintenance checks on his own farm. Since launching at Lamma in 2020, it has gone on to win a range of awards. It allows farmers and users of agricultural machinery to log checks, maintenance and servicing using a simple traffic light system. For the latest Smart Farmer updates, you can visit the new website (www.smartfarmerapp.co.uk), sign up to its monthly newsletter or register for a free 28-day trial of the app. FG

New additions to telescopic wheel loader range The Kramer 8-series of wheel and telescopic wheel loaders combine modern engine technology, decades of experience and know-how in development for daily and demanding agricultural use. The latest additions to the Kramer machine portfolio include the telescopic wheel loader, KL55.8T and the wheel loaders, KL60.8 and KL60.8L. The machines are driven by a 100kW Deutz TCD 3.6 engine with exhaust emission Stage 5 and 100kW power. The even more powerful Deutz TCD 4.1 engine with Stage 5 and 115kW is optionally available to customers. The exhaust aftertreatment is carried out by DOC, DPF and SCR.

Kramer offers the KL55.8T with Z-kinematics and telescopic loader unit in the 9–12t performance range. This means the high quality wheel loader combines the advantages of a telehandler with the even further increased load-over height, stacking height, dumping height and reach. While suitable for the loading of all agricultural machines and trailers, an important application area in particular is the loading of, for example, fodder mixing vehicles or

biogas systems and stacking bales. The telescopic wheel loader is also equipped with the “Smart Handling” overload system. This prevents the vehicle from tipping over in the longitudinal direction. With a bucket-tipping load of 5,500kg and a stacking payload of 3,900kg, the telescopic wheel loader is convincing, despite its low dead weight. The KL60.8 and KL60.8L wheel loaders offer excellent power ratings,

according to Kramer. The design, innovative technology and high level of quality make them unique, the company reckons. With a bucket-tipping load of 6,100kg and a stacking payload of 4,200kg, the Kramer KL60.8 and KL60.8L open up a new size class in the Kramer wheel loader product portfolio. The undivided vehicle frame for which Kramer is renowned also prevents a shift in the centre of gravity for the massive machines, yet does not impair the mobility at all and they impress with their constant payload. The variety of attachments makes these wheel loaders perfect for various applications in agriculture, including feeding, stacking straw or mucking. As with all models of the 8-series, all-wheel, crab and front wheel steering are available as standard. For optimal all-round visibility, there is a completely new cabin and operating concept and an extensive list of standard equipment, such as the 7in LCD display with integrated rear-view camera. FG

Fuel of the future now, and range updates

New Holland announced updates across several product ranges during an online product launch in late February. David Williams reports.

Wheel loaders D-series articulated wheel loaders are being updated with new technology to improve work output, and revised service intervals to reduce the cost of ownership. The manufacturer said that while New Holland wheel loaders are already popular with forage contractors and biogas plants, the improvements make the latest models the most exciting the company has produced.

list later this year. A pre-production version of the tractor was shown at Agritechnica in 2019, and first limited deliveries will be to countries including the UK where biogas production is more advanced. New Holland has entered agreements with customers using tractors in specialist applications where achieving zero carbon emissions is a priority. These include wine producers.

Electrification New Holland is also working with electric implement producer Nobill, based around a New Holland T4.110V powering an e-Source external generator driven by the PTO. Implements developed and currently undergoing testing include an electric-driven sprayer and an electric mulcher. New Holland’s D-series articulated loaders have been equipped with upgrades, increasing their appeal for biogas plants and forage contractors.

Reduced cost of ownership equivalent to £17,000 during the loader’s life cycle results from new features including a Smart Work mode that can delivery fuel savings up to 10 per cent. Extended service intervals – twice as long as for existing machines at up to 1,000 hours also reduce costs significantly. Operation is through an 8in touchscreen with configurable touch-access buttons. There is also a self-levelling mode which makes fork handling easier by ensuring a constant angle parallel to the ground. The display also includes a load handling monitoring mode making it easier to record the amount of material handled. An Enhanced LED Lighting Pack with 43,000 lumens is an additional new option.

As well as developing tractors to run on alternative fuels, New Holland has joined forces with implement manufacturer Nobill, to offer implements powered by an external PTO-driven generator.

IntelliView 4 touchscreen display. IntelliCruise automatically adjusts the tractor speed to maintain a constant work load for optimum productivity.

Another T6 with six The event also featured the new 135hp T6.160 6-cyl tractor, announced in November last year which, with the current 145hp T6.180, gives customers a choice of two 6-cyl compact models – including the only one on the market with rated power under 140hp. Power is from a NEF 6.7-litre engine. With Dynamic Command twin-clutch 24x24 transmission, which includes eight-step push-button gear changes and three push-button robotised range changes, the new T6.160 is a powerful tractor in a compact package with its 2.6m wheelbase and 10.5t gross vehicle weight. Automated functions include Ground Speed Management which is exclusive to New Holland and automatically maintains the target speed set by the operator while minimising fuel consumption. Smart Range Shift ensures the correct gear is always engaged when making a range shift, and will skip ratios where appropriate for perfect speed matching. The New Holland SideWinder 2 armrest is standard with the IntelliView 4 colour touch-screen and CommandGrip multifunction joystick.

BigBaler news The BigBaler 1250 High Density range gains a new packer model for this year, providing a new option alongside the established CropCutter models. The packer version has three 3-tine packer forks. New Holland claims that the BigBaler 1250 models of both types produce bales up to 22 per cent denser than conventional square balers for increased transport and handling efficiency. The

Methane tractor available

A new option for customers preferring the smoothness of a six-cylinder mid-size tractor will be available later this year. The T6.160 Dynamic Command joins the current T6.180 Dynamic Command offering six rather than the usual four cylinders.

Telematics are also standard through MyPLM Connect. This allows real-time information to be sent from, and received by, the tractor, making it easier to monitor and manage farm fleets and task data. Agronomic data can be uploaded to the system through Farm Tab. The T6.160 will be available late in 2021.

After several years of intensive testing, the methane-powered T6 will be added to the price

Full line solutions A new packer version of the High Density baler range has been added to complement BigBaler 1250 CropCutter models.

New Holland has been promoting itself as leading the way with alternative fuels for a number of years, and the company displayed its methane-powered T6 in pre-production form at Agritechnica two years ago. Likely to appeal to those with biogas plants on site, as well as vegetable and fruit producers aiming to reduce carbon emissions, the methane-powered T6 enters limited production this year, and will be available in the UK.

MaxiSweep pick-up helps feed the crop at high rates for increased capacity and performance. The SmartShift gearbox, which won an Agritechnica Silver Medal in 2019, delivers a soft start for greater operator comfort, as well as overload protection for the tractor driveline. LoopMaster knotting technology ensures effective binding and protects the environment and the forage by eliminating twine offcuts. There is also a new user interface through the

New Holland’s supply agreement with Maschio was also discussed, through which selected disc harrows and subsoilers will be manufactured by Maschio Gaspardo for New Holland, and sold with New Holland branding including blue paint. Maschio's existing arrangement with official UK importer Opico remains in place for all other Maschio products. The first products available in New Holland colours will be SDM and SDH Compact Speed Disc Cultivators, and SUM and SUH subsoilers. The new product lines will target products suited to New Holland tractors from the T6-series to 300hp T7 Heavy Duty models. FG April 2021 www.farmersguide.co.uk 51

Tractor updates and additional features Claas held a European press launch in early March and, like most others so far this year, it took place online. David Williams reports. Arion 400 News regarding Claas’ best-selling Arion 400 tractors centred around an updated engine meeting Stage 5 emissions regulations, but Claas has also taken the opportunity to add a more powerful Arion 470 flagship model to the line-up with up to 155hp and 630Nm of torque, and offering a power-to-weight ratio of 34kg/hp. The Arion 400 represents Claas in a very competitive market segment, where tractor size, power ratings and price make the series ideal as the main tractors on family livestock or smaller mixed farms, or as a second tractor on arable and larger mixed enterprises. More than 30,000 Arion 400s have been produced and sold to date, and the latest models are the fourth generation carrying the badge. UK dealers aren’t due to receive their 2021-model Arion 400s until this autumn, but upgrades including significantly higher hydraulic flow rates and permissible gross vehicle weight will tempt potential customers using competitor machines to consider the brand. The new Arions have FPT 4.5-litre, 4-cyl engines with 4-valve technology and turbochargers with

intercoolers, with wastegates from the 430 up. Exhaust gases are processed using SCR (Adblue) and a diesel oxidation catalyst, and the compact after-treatment system is cleverly designed so that it doesn’t interfere with the driver’s vision. Claas claims that the system is highly efficient with low diesel and Adblue consumption.

Powershift transmission Quadrishift 16x16 transmission is standard, but the Arion 430 upwards can also be ordered with a Hexashift 24x24 gearbox, for improved control and performance. A Revershift clutch-less reverser allows easy direction changes by either the shuttle lever on the steering wheel console, or the multifunction joystick on the right-hand armrest – which is especially well-suited to loader work. Smart Stop is also available which automatically disengages the clutch when the brake pedal is depressed.

Wheelbase options Arion 400 models come in two wheelbase lengths – 2.49m for 410 and 420 models, and 2.53m for 430–470 variants. Claas explains that this is relatively

The Axion 470 has up to 155hp available from its FPT 4.5-litre engine. Quadrishift or Hexashift transmissions can be selected.

long, although overall tractor dimensions remain compact. Advantages of the long wheelbase include improved stability with rear-mounted implements, and for loader work. The latest Arions are more manoeuvrable than previous models with an eight per cent tighter turning circle. Unladen, the tractors have 50/50 front/rear weight distribution, but the latest models have a maximum permissible gross weight of 9.0t, allowing payloads up to 3.8t.

Loader and linkage Claas expects more than half of Arion 400 tractors to be equipped with front loaders, and a range of factory-fitted loaders and an integrated front linkage are available. Both can be controlled through the multi-function joystick, but upgrade options include ElectroPilot on CIS and CIS+ specification, or FlexPilot.

Hydraulic upgrade A 100-litre/min hydraulic pump is a new option which is unique in the power class. Advantages of the high flow rate include the ability to operate the tractor at low revs for fuel economy while hydraulic attachments work at normal speed, or the system can provide flow in reserve allowing hydraulicdriven spreaders or drill fans to operate at full speed even while the front and rear linkages are operated. continued over…

Most Arion 400s sold in the UK are fitted with front loaders. Claas offers integrated front linkage and loaders from the factory and the new 400-series Arion is available with a 100-litre hydraulic system for fast cycle times, and powering demanding implements.

Cemos expanded The benefits of Claas Cemos operator assistance have become well accepted on combines and forage harvesters and, since 2020, the company has offered a similar system for its tractors. Certified by the German DLG testing centre, Cemos improved work rates by area up to 16.3 per cent, while at the same time reducing fuel consumption by 16.8 per cent for cultivation work. Cemos for Tractors was previously available only for Arion 500, Arion 600, Axion 800 and Axion 900 tractors and on versions equipped with Cebis and CMatic CVT transmission, and was only compatible with cultivation work, but Claas has now extended the range of machines and applications covered.

Mowers included For this grass season, Cemos will also cover disc mowers. A mower assistant is designed for all brands and for mounted front or rear, front and rear, and butterfly combinations. To use the system, the driver enters the working width followed by basic settings including crop type, the type of placement, and the PTO speed. Then Cemos will assist the driver in correctly aligning the mower bar, setting the right cut height and ground pressure, adjusting the lift height and selecting suitable overlap. Cemos then takes care of basic settings including adjusting the lower and upper links, securing the lower links with stabilisers, and

Cemos for tractors can be used to set-up and optimise complex front and rear mower combinations.

ensures that the drive shaft is the correct length. Once fitted, the Cemos system selects the correct conditioner speed and recommends adjustments for the swath drums or discs. The system is programmed with laying strategies for mowers with swath merging systems. Hydraulic ground pressure slope adjustment and swath merging are also included. Headland management programming and function button assignment are also taken care of, especially for Isobus-equipped implements. Further functions for transport include ensuring the mower bar on front mowers is locked and that maximum transport height isn’t exceeded. The implement assistant is available at no additional cost for tractors already equipped with Cemos from this spring, and can also be retrofitted to tractors already with Cemos through software updates.

Half-track Cemos Cemos for Tractors is available for the Axion Terra Trac 930 and 960 models. Basic operating principles are borrowed from Arion and Axion wheeled models, but the half-track design required modified criteria for ballasting and traction since a greater proportion of the tractive force is through the rear axle and crawler track assembly. This means that Cemos for the Terra Trac only covers inflation pressure of the front wheels which is considered in relation to the width of the rubber tracks fitted at the rear. Because Terra Tracs have a larger ground contact area than conventional wheels extra ballast isn’t normally needed at the rear. However, Cemos helps select the most suitable ballasting strategy without overballasting, to achieve optimal traction and prevent soil damage, while also achieving maximum fuel efficiency. FG

Pushing on to a better harvest The Ceres Barn-Stormer Grain Pusher promises to offer an efficient and reliable method for controlling your cereal storage. The 2.5m wide blade on the Ceres Barn-Stormer is shaped to propel your materials effortlessly, the manufacturer says. Its smooth design without grain traps provides clean operation to avoid the risk of cross-contamination, both inside and outside your buildings. The blade is fitted with a longlasting, hard-wearing rubber-nylon replaceable wear strip which glides efficiently over wooden, vented and

polished or tamped concrete floors with ease. The large, centrally-mounted tube is not only light and robust, it also increases visibility and manoeuvrability around doorways, ducts, vents and beams. Sufficiently braced from the blade and the headstock, this gives the BarnStormer the best strength to weight ratio in its class, Ceres says. The Barn-Stormer has a variety

of applications beyond cereals – for example, it has been used to move coal, wood chips, biomass, animal feeds, salt, silage, animal waste and even aggregates. It is available in a large variety of lengths, from 3.5m right up to 16m – built to order to suit your telehandler or loading shovel, whatever bracket configuration you may have. All models of the Barn-Stormer are also available as an expandable version, which allows the length of the implement to be extended by the addition of extra sections of

tube, thus increasing the versatility and longevity. The Ceres team can offer advice on the optimum length of grain pusher for you, to increase the speed and efficiency of this task, so that with practice, large trailer loads can be elevated in two or three pushes, with less shunting backwards and forwards, and booming in and out, saving time during the busiest season. This also increases the lifespan and fuel economy of your telehandler/loading shovel, and preserves the grain store floor, reduces tyre wear and improves traction through better weight distribution of the machine.

Forestry contractor goes from strength to strength KWR Plant Hire was established 25 years ago by Kevin Russell, who spotted a gap in the forestry market. Now, the company boasts some of the most innovative forestry and tree handling machines in the UK, and undertakes all roadside and non-roadside work. Kevin Russell started working on his local farm when he was 14 and by the age of 20, he was mucking out calf pens for local farmers and had a string of log customers he was supplying in the local area – his father was in the forestry trade. As his client list grew, he branched out by himself with his small selection of mini diggers, and started working more and more in the construction and groundwork industries – but he always had many jobs in and on the local farms. After a slump in the building industry, Mr Russell saw the gap in the forestry market and established KWR in 1996. With a passion for forestry, he says he jumped in with both feet and has not looked back since. Having started off with a Bobcat Skid Steer, KWR now boasts some of the latest innovative forestry and tree handling machines in the UK. Mr Russell says he has always sought the

safest and most innovative machines and processes to rise to all challenges the industry has to offer. KWR’s flagship machines are its Sennebogen 718e and Fendt 939 tractor with the Greentec 952/25 mega, crane fed whole tree chipper. Both machines comply with relevant highway standards. The company can undertake all roadside and non-roadside tree work. Work is undertaken safely and efficiently, abiding by all relevant policies, procedures and legislation, and sites are left in a safe and tidy manner. All projects are controlled by the company’s in-house project manager and staff are highly trained, qualified and competent. KWR prides itself on offering a fast, practical, innovative, cost effective and safe method for tasks such as hedge clearance (or reinstatement – benefitting field margins), woodland management,

tree safety work, track, and ride creation and management (for smoother and better access for shooting/hunting). Its many mulchers and mulcher attachments mean briars, scrub land and untamed hedges can be reinstated to gain field margins and usable space. It can do first, second thinnings or clear fells, subject to licences. It can also tackle dangerous ash dieback diseased trees in public

spaces, where the landowner is liable for any damages. Like many companies and individuals, KWR has faced challenges within the past year, having to adjust, implement and comply with Covid-19 regulations. By far the biggest challenge was gaining parts and supplies, says contract manager Alec Pearson, but fortunately, the wider industries soon caught up. FG

Full spec line-up in triple on-farm test Valtra’s new G-series comes with a choice of specification levels to suit the needs and budgets of all types of farm. Farmers Guide arranged a long-term test on a Suffolk mixed farm. David Williams reports. The G-series was launched in early autumn last year, and although first UK deliveries were due pre-Christmas, delays from Brexit and Covid-19 meant production examples didn’t arrive until January. With power outputs from 105–145hp and a wide range of available specifications, the G-series fills a gap between the smaller A-series (75–130hp) and the N-series (115–201hp). The new tractors are the first of Valtra’s fifth generation, and the first in the 100–145hp power sector available with SmartTouch controls and full precision farming capabilities.

Choice of spec There are five models and three main specifications – HiTech, Active and Versu, plus four equipment levels – Basic, Comfort, Technology and Technology Pro. Valtra Connect telematics are standard on Versu models and load-sensing hydraulics are standard on Active and Versu, while base HiTech provides a cost-effective solution for yard work and smaller arable farms. Versu hydraulic valves are all adjustable from the cab whereas HiTech and Active models come with in-cab adjustment of just one valve. Most G-series tractors will work with front loaders, and design features optimising performance for handling tasks including high flow rates, and excellent vision and manoeuvrability were a priority from the start.

Versions – and options in package Comfort – available on HiTech, Active and Versu: • Front axle suspension, suspended cab and seat, plus air

suspended seat Work light Premium or Premium + with LED lights • Automatic reversing lights. Technology – available for Active and Versu: • Full Valtra Guide – one of four options with Novatel or Trimble antenna • Isobus rear • Advanced (Asr with radar – Versu only) • Power socket set. Technology Pro – available for Active and Versu: • Wayline assistant • Precision farming. One of four Section Control or Section Control + Variable Rate options • SmartTouch Extend TaskDoc Pro. All Valtras include Valtra Connect telematics subscription for five years, allowing authorised users and dealers with permission to check operational data and to view service requirements and fault codes. Standard warranty is one year, upgradeable to five years or 6,000 hours.

The G105 HiTech was used with the Kverneland straw spreader every day and proved ideal with its superb manoeuvrability and excellent dust filtration. …from previous page

George Baker and his father Andrew, and the mixed enterprise comprises beef cattle, indoor pigs and poultry, and arable crops including winter wheat, oilseed rape, winter beans, spring barley and sugar beet. The farm is in one main block where soils range from light meadow land to heavy clay loams, and there is additional land a few miles from the base. Three modern tractors do most of the arable field work, including a twin-track crawler and two highspecification wheeled tractors of 160 and 180hp. Three older tractors do most of the yard work including straw spreading, feeding and muck carting. A modern telehandler does the loading and handling.

Ideal opportunity “We have been keen to try Valtra tractors,” explained George Baker ahead of the test in January. “It’s an interesting range with lots of options and being able to compare three models and specifications will allow us to assess how much benefit we would gain from paying for the premium specification, and whether there is much difference in productivity and comfort.” There was plenty of work available for the tractors on the livestock unit, but it was hoped that when drier weather arrived and spring crop planting started then they could be used for field work too. George said his expectations were generally high. “Valtras have a good reputation for being tough and reliable and offering good value for money, and for me a big attraction is the back-up available from our local dealer, Thurlow Nunn Standen.”

HiTech The G105 HiTech was equipped with an optional creeper gearbox, a push-out trailer hitch, high visibility roof, manual air conditioning and electric mirrors. It was used every day and its

primary tasks were bedding up livestock with a Kverneland 853 Pro straw spreader and bulk trailer work around the yard. “It has a very quiet cab, excellent filtration and ventilation and it was far more manoeuvrable than my usual tractor which saved time,” commented stockman and general tractor operator, Freddie Meggs. “The standard lights are excellent, which was a help was a help at the start and end of the working day in late January.”

Active The G135 Active was matched with a Valtra G5S front loader. It also had a creeper transmission and Eco speed allowing reduced revs at 40kph, and optional front axle suspension. “We are used to a highspecification telehandler,” commented George, “but apart from the Valtra having less lifting capacity, it was very impressive. Cycle times were just as fast and the manoeuvrability was excellent. We used it to push up the muck heap, for loading manure

Freddie found the HiTech specification ideal for everyday yard work.

and handling large bales and its performance impressed throughout. “I thought the loader control joystick was excellent. It was just as good as the joystick on our telehandler and offered precise control of the attachment with its progressive operation. I especially liked having the integral control for the third service as most tractor loaders I have used relied on an oil diverter valve and a dual-function lever.” “The panoramic cab roof allowed a clear view of the attachment while working at height without having to lean forward. My only criticism was the difficulty seeing the headstock locking pins while swapping attachments as the hydraulic hose guards block the view from the seat.” Freddie agreed that the G135 Active was ideal for loader work and he particularly liked its excellent visibility and ease of operation. He also found the automatic 4wd engagement feature useful. “When the yard is slippery and a full bucket transfers weight from the rear wheels then the

The G105 HiTech cab was simple and practical, and popular with George and Freddie. A criticism was the lack of anywhere to mount the spreader control box on the test tractor, although this is available as an option. .

lack of grip in 2wd can be an issue. The Valtra automatically engages 4wd for a few seconds each time the tractor pulls away, reducing wheel slip and improving efficiency. “Four-wheel drive can also be set to automatically disengage when the steering angle exceeds a pre-set limit which is a useful feature, although on a slippery surface the operator has to be aware that it might affect the turning radius.”

Versu The G135 Versu came with the Technology upgrade and was also equipped with a creeper transmission and Eco Speed allowing 40kph at reduced engine revs. It had SmartTouch Extend, four rear hydraulic service valves and power beyond, an air-suspended seat and manual air conditioning. A Premium work light kit was also fitted. It carried out bulk trailer work around the yard, grass topping and fencing with a mounted post knocker, and it was also used to roll spring barley pulling an 8m continued over…

The G135 Active proved excellent for loading tasks and achieved cycle times as fast as the farm’s modern telehandler. The G135 Active had an optional Extend terminal for GPS guidance. The orange loader joystick allowed accurate and progressive control.

Visibility all around was described as excellent, but the panoramic roof was a highlight, allowing a clear view for working at height.

set of hydraulic rolls. “We had hoped to plough and cultivate with it too, but the weather remained too wet,” explained George. “However, we tried out the various transmission modes plus the Valtra Guide GPS guidance and auto-steer for arable tasks. The Versu was loaded with technology including the SmartTouch 9in touchscreen and a second SmartTouch Xtend display, and although there is a massive amount of capability there in terms of adjusting every tractor setting we found the menus easy to navigate, and we were surprised at how easily we were able to set up the different systems. The tractor was very economical too; using only 24 litres of diesel rolling a 12ha field with some gentle slopes, and AdBlue consumption was negligible.” “Although I had many years’ experience using tractors on livestock units, I hadn’t done much arable field work until just a few years ago,” said Freddie. “However, I found the Valtra systems very user-friendly and after spending a short time working through the initial set-up with George I had no problems using the systems in the field. Every time I started a new field it proved easy to activate the guidance again. “We could have made more use of its capabilities for field work if the weather had been drier, and also if Covid-19 restrictions had allowed us to receive in-cab training with the manufacturer and dealer teams, but what we achieved on our own proves how easy and intuitive the systems are to use.”

Verdict Best G-series features • Light unladen weight and compact size • Excellent manoeuvrability • Superb visibility all around through the 5.7m2 of glass • Comfortable, quiet cab with plenty of storage • Smooth ride – effective axle and cab suspension • Simple but user-friendly controls • Smooth forward/reverse shuttle • Easy-to-use menus and clear displays • Rugged design • Good finish and build quality

Criticisms There were few, but included: • Short mudguards. “For a tractor designed for livestock farms, it’s surprising that the mudguards are so short,” said George. “Other Valtra models have longer, more effective mudguards, so I don’t understand why the G-series is different. We couldn’t have used any of the tractors with the rear window open as the cab interior and operator would have been splashed with mud and manure.” • Engine oil check: “Generally the Valtras proved easy to look after and tasks such as filling the diesel tanks were achieved easily. However, checking the engine oil requires the operator to squeeze between the front mudguard and exhaust, so he is dirty before he gets into the cab to start work.” • Passenger seat folding – the seat can’t be folded and unfolded with the cab door closed which was a minor irritation.

Cherry Products The Cherry Products muck grab and bucket proved popular. “Because we use the larger telehandler we don’t have attachments suitable for tractor loaders, but the Cherry Products accessories were very well made and extremely practical,” said George. “The muck grab was quick but powerful and the bucket was tough enough to withstand heavy farm use. It was ideal for the Valtra test.”

Valtra if the price was competitive including a long factory warranty which is something we regard as essential for all our main machines. The Versu does everything we need with a higher specification than our existing tractors, but it’s possible that we might consider the N-series or T-series instead, rather than dropping horsepower. “Thurlow Nunn Standen provided superb support during the test period. The tractors were brand new when they arrived and the few teething problems we had were very quickly dealt with. I can’t speak highly enough of the sales and service support and for us the dealer is a big attraction of the Valtra brand.” Freddie was just as enthusiastic. “I liked the Valtras and the cabs were comfortable, quiet and spacious with lots of space for storage. I spent most of my time on the base HiTech version and liked everything about it. I would definitely be happy to be told we are upgrading from our existing older tractors to the new Valtra G-series.” FG

The G135 Versu’s cab had a high specification seat and was loaded with technology designed to optimise productivity.

Dealer view Huddersfield-based Sovereign Agricultural Services took on the Valtra franchise in 1997 having previously represented another brand as a subdealer. “Since having Valtra tractors to offer our customers the business has gone from strength to strength,” commented director Tim Bennett. “Farming in our area is mainly livestock, and predominantly cattle and sheep. The N-series has been our best seller but models between 100–130hp are our bread and butter and the dairy farmers we deal with look for something reliable and practical and don’t generally need anything fancy. “Loader tractors have to work every day and if breakdowns occur then it’s impossible to move modern big bales by hand, so apart from a power-shuttle which makes a real difference to productivity and ease of use, then the simpler the better. The new G-series HiTech will be ideal. It’s comfortable, economical and good value for money and has all the modern features and safety users require and it’s ideal for grass harvesting too.” Tim said that he sells large numbers of A-series tractors and quite a few T-series, while the largest S-series appeals to contractors and larger arable farms. “We have already had a lot of interest in the G-series and will run a demonstration HiTech with a high-visibility roof which will have a lot of appeal. In terms of horsepower for money it’s great value and with the brand already enjoying a great reputation in our area we expect to gain a lot of extra sales.”

Potential future purchase George said that the tractors met his high expectations and will definitely be considered when his current fleet is updated. “It would be hard to beat the HiTech as a good all-around yard tractor for local transport, strawing down and occasional grassland and arable work,” he said. “The Versu specification is definitely better suited to arable applications; and if I was replacing my current premium-brand models then I would consider the

Often, condensation and heat loss problems in farm buildings result in excessive heating bills and energy loss, as well as animal welfare issues, pest problems, disease and loss of productivity. Closed cell spray foam, an alternative to traditional open cell insulation methods, is stronger and more rigid than its open cell counterpart, according to installer Riva Commercial. It also offers better structural integrity and perhaps most importantly, air, moisture and bacteria will struggle to permeate through. It helps to keep heat in during winter and out during summer. Closed cell also gives a far better ‘R’ value, reducing your carbon footprint and saving money on energy bills, the company adds. It expands around 1in per pass compared to open cell, which expands around 3in per pass, meaning closed cell is neater, takes up less space and has zero waste. Riva claims the product is better suited to commercial applications and carries a Class I fire rating. Applications include stables (including the floor), vegetable and fruit stores, livestock sheds, grain silos, potato stores, containers/workshops, foodhall houses and more. The benefits include: it is KIWA, BBA and LABC approved, provides structural stability to buildings, creates a thermal barrier, controls condensation, offers draughtproofing, helps buildings reach food grade standards and reduces noise pollution. Customers can choose from Basf or Isothane and the product adheres to any surface, including asbestos. It comes with a 25-year manufacturer’s warranty and a 10-year workmanship warranty. In addition, with no food value, it does not attract vermin. FG

News ‘The Bull’ finds a match in the ‘Cyclone’ Irish rugby hero John ‘The Bull’ Hayes never abandoned his farming background, despite achieving 105 Ireland caps, two Lions tours, two Heineken Cups, four Triple Crowns and the 2009 Grand Slam. He now spends his days rearing Hereford cattle on his 90-acre family farm in Co. Limerick. “I had been looking at the Major Cyclone the last couple of years and I eventually decided to make a move for the 2.8m model,” says John. The Cyclone Shredder bridges the gap between a traditional grass topper and flail mower. Designed to do the work of a flail, the Major Cyclone has significantly less power consumption than a typical flail, saving time and fuel costs for users.

“Rushes have been a problem with some of the wet summers we’ve had lately,” he continues. “So you need something that can take the tough work. It can’t be flimsy; it has to be able to take a bit of punishment.” The heavy-duty machine features a double chop blade system that easily copes with shrubs, saplings, gorse and brush. Hayes’ welding experience comes through when describing the topper’s build and durability. “It’s really well-designed because it’s not heavy on the back of the tractor when you lift it up. The whole structure is really well put together.” The Major Cyclone is available in working widths from 2–6.3m. FG

Company expands offering as more farmers diversify With farmers facing a period of great change and increasingly varied challenges, many more have been looking to diversify to subsidise their income. With this in mind, Industrial Doors and Cladding Ltd – formerly SCL Norfolk – says it felt it needed to change the service it offers to accommodate. Recently, the company has been asked to not only install new doors to old disused buildings, in order to rent them out, but also to reclad the outside or insulate. It has led to the company giving many old buildings a ‘face lift’ with new cladding, new roofs and insulated cladding, as well as new doors. As a result of this, the company decided to rebrand with a

change of name, from SCL Norfolk, to Industrial Doors and Cladding Ltd. It will now focus part of its business on the refurbishment of old buildings, whilst still carrying out installation and repairs to all types of industrial doors. Recent work in the past 18 months has taken the team all over the country, with jobs in Sussex, Kent and Essex, as well as Suffolk and Norfolk where the firm is based. Industrial Doors and Cladding also has fitters based in Kent. In addition, the team will create new openings in buildings and undertake small steelwork alterations, ready for industrial or personnel doors. FG

“The Cyclone is really strong and robust. It does a great job!” John Hayes, Hereford Beef Farmer, Co. Limerick.

Pictured with one of Nicholsons’ demonstration Weidemann articulated loaders and a selection of Case IH tractors in stock at the depot are (l-r) Tony Nicholson, Kevin Chubbock, David Nicholson and Jamie Broatch.

Norfolk franchise benefits local farms and arable estates Taking on a new main franchise three years ago has proved a very successful decision for east Norfolk-based Nicholsons Stalham Engineering Co Ltd. David Williams reports. Three years ago, the family-owned business took on the Case IH franchise for the area, and celebrated its appointment with a customer open day. Farms in the area range from small livestock farms to large arable estates and the Case IH product line-up, together with complementary premium brand franchises, mean Stalham Engineering has suitable products for all of them. “The Case IH franchise is very successful,” confirmed managing director Sarah Nicholson. “Initially, every sale was a conquest sale as there were relatively few tractors of the brand in this area, but it’s been interesting that three years later as the first finance agreements and factory warranties are maturing, we are taking orders for replacement machines with those we supplied being partexchanged.” Case IH specialist Kevin Chubbock said the range has plenty to appeal to customers. “It’s good quality and reliable, and does what it’s supposed to. The Puma series has been especially popular and almost all that we supply have the versatile CVX transmission. Manufacturer initiatives such as MaxService provide reassurance for users and if a tractor under warranty breaks down and is out of action for more than three days then Case IH will step in and loan a tractor if required. There have been very few breakdowns anyway apart from teething problems such as software error codes. Customers are really happy with their machines and are pleased we are supplying the range.”

Axial-Flow campaign A sales campaign is planned for this harvest to build the dealer’s reputation for combine sales and service too. “We haven’t sold combines for many years, but the Axial-Flow models are well known for their simple, reliable design and excellent productivity,” continued Sarah. “We borrowed the manufacturer’s demonstrator last harvest but we have a large sales area to cover and there were lots of requests from potential users to try it. Weather is always an issue when arranging combine demonstrations, so we decided to invest in our own demonstrator for added flexibility and to allow more customers to try it.” A harvesting machinery open day and demonstration is planned for mid-August, and will also highlight the Case IH round and high-density large square balers, and Farmlift telescopic handlers. “We have quite a history selling and servicing a

previous handler brand and continue looking after large numbers of customer machines,” said Kevin. “But more recently we have seen demand growing for the latest Farmlift handlers. They have a great specification for livestock and arable farms and potential customers are impressed when they try our demonstrators.”

Key new franchise In January this year, the dealer was selected to represent Weidemann for the whole of Norfolk, the compact loaders in the range complementing the larger Case IH line-up and allowing the dealer to satisfy the needs of most handler users. “The biggest current Weidemann is the 6027 – with 6m maximum lift height and 2.7t capacity,” explained Kevin. “However there are new 7m telehandlers coming later this year, capable of lifting up to 4.2t which is a popular size for livestock farms. “During our first few months with the brand we received lots of enquiries from poultry and pig farms for the smaller articulated models, as well as from customers considering other applications such as amenity and landscape work and horticulture. We believe that offering Weidemann will result in additional enquiries and sales for our Case IH Farmlift range too.”

Grass harvesting

weather have created strong demand for the Aerosem drill which can be mounted on a powerharrow or compact cultivator,” explained Kevin. “When conditions are good, high work rates and reduced cost of drilling can be achieved using the cultivator, but when conditions become wet or very dry, then the power-harrow combination is a reliable solution.” Teagle straw blowers and fertiliser spreaders have been supplied for many years and enjoy consistent demand. Bednar and He-Va cultivation products and Maschio flail mowers and power-harrow drill combinations also sell well. “We offer the Sky Easy Drill which is imported by Opico too. It’s a premium product, offers great flexibility for those wanting to move towards zero-tillage regimes, and we expect to carry out several demonstrations this year,” he continued. Trailers from Bailey are also stocked, including versions for silage, grain and bale transport.

Positive future “We have a team of 45 based at Stalham now,” continued Sarah. “We took on Jamie Broatch in our sales department last year, and Kelvin Sloper as service manager. Going forward with our new franchises we will take on even more staff including a sales representative specialising in precision farming equipment and services, as that part of our business is growing rapidly. “Several of our franchises – Weidemann, McHale, Pottinger and Malone are appointments for the whole of Norfolk and although we are ensuring that back-up is available from our Stalham depot currently, we believe the time will come when we have to invest in a second depot further west in the county, which will lead to further business growth. We have superb brands, a very enthusiastic team, and succession for the future and look forward to getting back to normal later this year with our own open days, and events including Normac which will allow us to show more potential customers the full range of machinery and services we offer.” FG

There are a large number of grassland farms and grass harvesting contractors in Stalham Engineering’s trading area, and the dealer offers various grass machinery brands including Case IH, McHale, Pottinger and Malone. “McHale is very well respected and we sell large numbers of round balers, Fusion baler-wrappers, and mowers plus mower-conditioners,” said Sarah. “The Case IH 120x90 large square baler is ideal for contractors and larger farms dealing with a lot of straw and there is nothing to beat it for performance and reliability. Malone is a new brand to us, and we are offering it this harvest for the first time. It’s made in Ireland and competitively priced, but the build quality is excellent and for those needing a basic disc mower it’s an ideal solution.”

Key brands There has been growing demand for Pottinger ploughs, cultivators and drills. “The challenges of achieving timely crop establishment in unreliable

Malone mowers are made in Ireland and imported by Nicholsons.

Spreader choice proves successful for variable application specialist A Leicestershire-based contracting business built around precision fertiliser applications is increasing the services it offers. David Williams reports. The Chandlers’ family business was started by husband and wife team Richard and Julie Chandler when they offered fertiliser and lime applications, while also running their own mixed farm which included a suckler herd. In 2000, their son James joined the business as a partner and the trading name changed to RAC Contractors Ltd. The business grew, and round baling was added to the services offered using a round baler purchased for the farm’s own bales, and slurry handling and applications were also available. In 2007, the family was asked to quote for a contract applying variable rate P&K to 18,000ha of farmland across Lincolnshire. “We had invested in a 3t tractor-mounted

spreader capable of variable rate applications,” explained James, “but we could see demand growing for this service as very few farmers had the technology or machinery to achieve it themselves.”

High capacity solution James found a spreader with the capacity and features he needed, manufactured by New Leader in the USA. A twin-bin version was ordered, allowing individual metering of different products applied in a single pass. A new Multidrive tool carrier was purchased to carry the new spreader. The applicator proved popular with customers and spread phosphate to 36m and potash to 30m. A year later,

Although the Chandlers have four alternative sets of discs which can be fitted to optimise performance, for most jobs all that is needed is to enter details of the product being applied, the spread width and rate and the intended travel speed, and settings are applied automatically. There is plenty of scope for fine tuning, including the ability to adjust the disc speed in increments of 50rpm for fine border control.

the cows were sold along with all the machinery except the spreaders, to allow the business to focus on specialist applications. The pastures are now contract-grazed and the arable land grows lucerne, clover leys and maize under-sown with grass for a local dairy farm.

Specialist service “We are keen to move towards more regenerative farming techniques,” continued James. “We bought a 6m Sky Easy Drill in 2016, having originally requested a demonstration of a 3m model, and then realised there is growing demand for a reliable zero-till drilling service. We already had a grass over-seeder, and bought a tine drill with reduced tillage coulters secondhand too. We also have two pneumatic boom applicators used for Avadex applications, for which demand has increased again for black-grass control. One is set up for mounting on our Multidrive and has been modified to include section control, and the other is on our Clayton and is also used for cover crop establishment.” Results of seeding using the pneumatic spreaders have been variable, including in a field of spring wheat where patchy results matched the success of the main crop. James has also used them to establish an oilseed rape and Berseem clover mix and, although the crops currently appear variable they are good enough to harvest, when actual performance will be assessed. “It’s a cheap method of establishing crops but the main

reason we are working on the technique is to reduce dependence on cultivations,” continued James. “Harvest can be protracted, which means that waiting for fields to be cleared sometimes means having to drill crops later than planned. By planting the next crop into the standing crop before it is harvested, that reduces pressure to get the field cleared and gives the new crop more time to grow. Conditions when the seed is distributed have to be ideal though, and failures and poor performance have caused many farms to give up on the technique. We are keen to find out how to give crops the best chance to succeed and part of that is being strong enough to accept when the technique is unlikely to work, then using traditional techniques instead. “I’m a big believer in no-till systems, but I also accept that cultivations are needed at times. In our climate, it’s inevitable that harvesting sometimes takes place when the ground is soft and wet, and when that happens then remedial action is needed to repair ruts and compaction. My father is more traditional in his approach and has a huge amount of experience, so we value each other’s opinions and get on well.”

Pioneering variable rates Since offering its first variable-rate application service the business has built its reputation as a specialist contractor. “When we bought our first spreader equipped with the system, there were several farms in our area using variable-rate applications, but they relied on changing the travel speed to achieve different rates,” said James. “Having invested in a spreader

Machinery A Kuhn Axis 50.2 H-EMC W twindisc spreader has proven ideal for Leicestershire-based contractor RAC Contractors Ltd. Section control in 1m increments, capability to spread to more than 36m and accurate border control with almost all settings made from the Isobus-linked cab terminal mean that the spreader is just as well suited to applying fertiliser on smaller mixed farms with grass and arable crops, as for larger arable enterprises.

which could automatically adjust Nitrogen application based on GPS data we gained a lot of work, and some of it was a long distance from our base so we lived in a camper van and moved between work areas for weeks at a time. “Now more farms have the technology and other contractors offer the service too, so most work is closer to our home. We have invested in technology offering even greater accuracy including AgLeader OptRx crop sensors, which scan the crop and provide real-time data which is used by the system to achieve suitable application rates. “We trialled this where the application rate was adjusted according to data from the crop sensor on one half of the field, while the other half was applied at the usual constant rate. Harvest yield maps were compared with our application records later, and the analysis demonstrated a £28/ha improvement in margin for the area where the managed variable rate was used. This was similar to the cost for the four applications we carried out that season on the field, so it’s a significant benefit. “Where we used the sensor to manage applications on farms where yield mapping hasn’t been available to confirm the benefits, we have had many comments regarding easier harvesting as the crop density has been more consistent across the field.”

Kuhn Axis The Chandlers purchased their Kuhn Axis 50.2 spreader in 2019. “We operated an older spreader of another brand which was very reliable, but demand was increasing for wider 36m application widths so we invested in a new spreader which should have been suitable. However, it never

performed properly on our Multidrive and struggled to achieve the 36m needed. Our local Kuhn dealer Farol had an open day featuring application equipment that we attended, and a deal was agreed to part-exchange our nearly new spreader for the Kuhn Axis which is superb.” The Kuhn Axis 50.2 H-EMC W offers adjustable spread widths up to 50m and section control in 1m steps independently to either side.

Key features Electronic Mass Control monitors the material flow to each side by measuring the torque required to drive each disc, and the metering outlet positions are adjusted every second. OptiPoint automatically adjusts the opening and closing positions of each outlet for the material being applied and the spread area. VariSpread Pro provides fast section control to match high application speeds using SpeedServo motors, and allows independent control to each side in 1m increments. Because Kuhn’s rate control is based on motor torque loadings it is extremely accurate, and it provides an immediate warning if either outlet becomes restricted or blocked. The system also senses if either side of the hopper is empty.

Ensuring accuracy James said that the Kuhn’s range of adjustment makes it extremely versatile and accurate. “The Kuhn app assists with the set-up and I enter the product being applied, the spread width and rate, and then it recommends the base settings. We enter these on the AgLeader display and they are applied automatically and we can also choose between four sets of discs to ensure the best performance. “Knowing exactly what is being applied is key to optimising performance,” suggested James – adding that he sometimes contacts the fertiliser supplier to ascertain exactly which factory manufactured products for application. “The Kuhn app includes hundreds of products and variations and if the correct one is identified and the settings are suitable then the spreader performance is superb.”

Apart from swapping the discs which takes only a few minutes, almost everything is adjusted from the cab. The spreader is fully Isobus-compatible and links to the AgLeader terminal which also provides GPS-based field mapping and manages the variable rate control. “Everything is set up and adjusted from the one screen, including opening and closing the spreader cover for filling,” added James. “It’s very user-friendly and anyone can operate it, although it is so capable that we are all still learning how to make best use of its potential after more than two years of use. I really enjoy using it.”

Section control The section control can operate automatically or manually, and James explained that this is an advantage where there are bare patches in fields not recorded on field maps. Where these occur, adjusting the spread width manually saves fertiliser and helps protect the environment. He also highlighted benefits of the system when working in complex locations such as around obstructions where double spreading and misses can be avoided. James also finds the border control extremely accurate. “The standard headland control achieves coverage right up to the boundary without spreading further than intended. We can also adjust the disc speed up or down in 50rpm increments, which allows us to compensate for windy conditions to maintain the coverage needed, or prevent spreading further into sensitive areas.”

accuracy when spreading at very low or high application rates, and I recently applied Sovereign Sulphur at only 20kg/ha on an organic mixed farm, and achieved a very consistent application. And, when applying at higher rates we rarely need to reduce the travel speed as the spreader is so capable. “I would definitely buy another Kuhn Axis spreader if we required an additional machine. The manufacturer and dealer back-up has been very good and when glitches have occurred in the software, then Kuhn has quickly provided updates. We are keen to continue building our business and believe that the performance and flexibility of the Kuhn Axis as well as the advantages of having it mounted on our Multidrive allows us to offer an unbeatable service.” FG

Attractive service James said that having accurate application machinery and versatile vehicles means he can provide a reliable service. “Customers use us when we can offer them particular benefits,” he explained. “The Multidrive can be fitted with large flotation tyres for a light footprint and low ground pressure, or larger rowcrop tyres which – with the high spreader position – makes it ideal for late season applications in taller crops such as flowering oilseed rape. Our application management system is compatible with data from all other software providers too.

All situations “The Kuhn spreader couldn’t be more flexible, and we have customers with mixed livestock and arable farms where we are able to apply to small grass paddocks at 24m, then move straight to applications on their arable crops – spreading to 36m and over, just by touching the screen. The Kuhn also maintains its

Richard Chandler (pictured) says taking time to set the spreader up properly is key to getting the best from it. “Once the correct settings are applied, it is very reliable and I have been amazed at how accurate the border control is when we have checked it using trays,” he commented. He also said it’s proved to be very ‘clean’. “Other spreaders quickly become covered in dust from the product being applied, but the Kuhn stays relatively dust-free, although we always clean it after each day’s spreading.”

Online dispersal sale generates competitive bidding A machinery dispersal sale on behalf of long-established grain drier specialist Morgan Farm Machinery proved a success, despite it having to be held online rather than having buyers in attendance. David Williams reports. Organised by Northamptonshirebased Bletsoes auctioneers, the sale disposed of workshop equipment, tools, parts and sundries as the business partnership of John Groome and Tim Morgan came to an end after 44 years. Mr Groome is retiring from the business but will be involved with FGA Group Ltd, run by his son Harry and co-director Julian Arrowsmith. FGA Group will sell and service Mecmar grain driers, as well as supplying new and refurbished farm and industrial buildings, and Mr Groome will remain semiretired while being on-hand to advise customers and his business partners. Mr Morgan is forming a new company, which will be operated from his farm.

Successful sale The online timed sale was advertised in last month’s Farmers Guide and was judged a success by John. “Everything sold and most was bought by farmers, while trade buyers also succeeded in acquiring some of the lots,” he commented. Bletsoes senior auctioneer Alastair Brown said the number of registered bidders was impressive. “We had 149 people registered to bid and 25 of these were previously unknown to us. More than half of the 300 lots on offer received more than 30 bids each, and a power saw which eventually sold for £360 attracted 81 bids. An anvil also created considerable interest – and sold for £305. “I believe that the sale benefitted from the current Covid-19 situation as a lot more people working from

would have been the case if people attended in person. In the end, most winning bids were placed by end users and the sale was a resounding success.” FG

Slurry mixer puts safety first

Used machinery sales remain buoyant With turnover north of £100m, Ben Burgess creates a considerable amount of used machinery via trade-in machines from customers or from its own rental fleet. As early adopters of its own website to promote trade-in machinery, the company sells used equipment across the UK and also to over 45 different countries annually. Despite Brexit and Covid-19 having produced several challenges in regards to extra paperwork, transport delays and longer response times from suppliers, business is buoyant with used equipment prices gaining strength – partly due to longer lead times on new equipment. Of course, certain global brands will always sell easier than other makes, but generally there is always a home for everything as long as its priced correctly. With

seven branches across East Anglia and specialist used equipment hubs at both Norwich and Ellington, Ben Burgess has also launched a new service for customers wanting to get good value for their used equipment, Agshop. This new offering allows customers to gain the contacts, experience and advertising spread of the Ben Burgess brand at a discounted advertising rate. Any enquiries can be passed on for the seller to deal with or, if required, the Ben Burgess used equipment team can assist with the sale for an agreed commission rate and deal with the certification, invoicing and transport. Since its inception later last year, over 80 machines have been successfully sold by customers around the UK using the service. FG

German manufacturer Reck has produced a slurry mixer that fits between the slats in livestock housing, avoiding the need to remove slats. It can be inserted through slats as small as 17mm and enables safe mixing with little disruption to livestock, making pumping easier and reducing the need for farm workers to go below to attend potentially dangerous blockages. There are two models; the Porco is designed for pig-sties and the Torro for cowsheds. Both are light, portable and can be operated by one person. Once inserted through a gap, the blades automatically unfold when the mixer is started. It can be swivelled laterally which enables large areas to be stirred from one location. Creating space to mix slurry through the floor can be dangerous for both farm workers and livestock. By removing the need for large access points, the slatted floor mixer keeps workers and livestock safely away from slurry when it is being mixed.

Emissions from slurry can be strong and unpredictable. When agitated or pumped, slurry emits dangerous gases such as hydrogen sulphide. Operators should use a slurry gas detector to monitor gas levels when mixing takes place. “We always recommend a monitor such as the Gas Alert Clip,” says John Tydeman, of slurry specialist Tramspread. “It’s a simple, cheap device that alerts the operator to dangerous concentrations of gas and can save lives.” FG

East of England dealer completes new acquisition P Tuckwell Ltd, the John Deere dealer across the East of England, has completed the acquisition of Burden Bros Agri Ltd covering the South East. All employees and the three existing branch locations at Stockbury and Ivychurch in Kent and Framfield in East Sussex, will be retained. The full terms of the agreement are not being disclosed but it has been announced that the acquisition has the full support and approval of John Deere Ltd and does not involve any other businesses in the BB4 Group. Burden Bros was founded in 2007, when it took on the John Deere

agricultural franchise for north Kent and it has since taken on additional territory in East Sussex, parts of Surrey and the remainder of Kent. The John Deere Turf franchise was added following the acquisition of the Godfreys business for the area. Tuckwells was established in 1954 and has been a John Deere dealer since 1965. Operating from seven locations across Suffolk, Essex, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, the business employs over 200 people. The business also runs 1,500-acre working farm, Tuckwell Farms, in Suffolk. The company was one of the first UK dealers to take on the John Deere Turf franchise. FG

Home Forestry LLP has announced a new dealership in England and Wales for the Finnish Harvester head company Skyetec Ltd. Syketec produces the Jobo range of stroke heads and tractor-mounted processors, which can have wheel motors fitted to speed up delimbing, if the base machine has the required oil flow. The Jobo 50 ST and Jobo 75 ST are available to be mounted on forest cranes and the EX-models are designed for excavator bases. The Jobo 50 ST Bambi is a small stroke harvester specifically developed to be fitted on smallto-medium size base machines. Low weight and compactness mean it can be mounted on a 3t excavator or any tractor-based crane. It is ideal for mini forwarders like the Alstor 840 pro combi, for which Home Forestry is the UK agent.

The Jobo 75 ST Jumbo is a larger head, capable of felling up to 40cm and delimbing up to 35cm. It requires 80–120-litre/ min and has a longer stroke at 75cm. It has a larger saw motor, the option for 4x315cc wheel motors in the Combi, and optional measuring equipment. Syketec also produces a range of accessories. Home Forestry says it is very impressed with the build quality, ergonomic design and range of features. The first unit, a Jobo 50 ST will arrive in late April and will be fitted to an Alstor 840 Pro as a demonstrator. FG

Reduced calf disease is the top benefit of BVD eradication Results from the annual National BVD Survey by Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health have been released, showing the majority of respondents were part of the BVDFree England eradication programme, and having a closed herd or vaccination were the most common biosecurity measures. Sarah Kidby reports. A record number of farmers responded to this year’s National BVD Survey, with over 1,200 responding via the online or paper version. Since the first survey six years ago, the compulsory BVD eradication programme in Scotland has seen nearly 90 per cent of holdings become negative to BVD. Northern Ireland’s eradication programme has halved persistently infected (PI) animals to 0.3 per cent from over 0.6 per cent. England and Wales continue to make good progress with their voluntary eradication programmes and it is expected that these will be made compulsory. The annual survey, which has input from the BVD eradication programmes, saw 506 responses from farmers in England. Of these, around 60 per cent (299) were signed up to the BVDFree eradication programme. Farmers that were not part of the programme said they hadn’t got around to it (78), were not aware of it (48), felt it was of no benefit (44) or noted the expense of uploading results (20). The majority of farmers who responded (444) believed the programme should be made compulsory in England and 451 farmers wanted auction markets to routinely display the BVD status of all animals and/or herds. When asked what would, or did, encourage them to join the scheme, respondents answered: • Requirement of farm assurance or supply chain (125) • Premium at market (80) • Recognition for taking care of the herd (161) • Want to help the next generation (21)

•

Increase in herd performance (127). Asked about the impact of BVD on their herd, around 43 per cent said they had never had it, while just under a quarter (24 per cent) said it had made no impact. Others, however, reported poor fertility (113), high levels of disease in calves (89), poor weight gain (61) and low milk yields (36).

when vaccines are due. Decision to vaccinate was mainly motivated by advice from a vet (186) or as an insurance policy (162). Ninety-seven respondents said there was no need to vaccinate as they had eradicated the disease, 32 were put off by the cost and 19 didn’t want to because of the hassle. Asked what they do with identified PI animals, 251 farmers said they had never had any, 197 said they would cull immediately, while the remainder: isolated and tried to rear to slaughter (24), tried to rear to slaughter weight with others (21), sold (5) or took no action (8). Boehringer’s veterinary advisor, Dr Ailsa Milnes commented: “This is the sixth year of the survey and we had the highest response rate to date, which perhaps shows the level of interest and the momentum behind eradicating BVD. Decreased levels of disease in calves is the most common improvement seen after engaging in BVD free eradication, followed by improved fertility and reduced antibiotic use. [...] “It’s worth noting that producers can still take advantage of the Stamp It Out Initiative through their vet practice, which provides funding for testing and vet time.” FG

Biosecurity measures Nearly 70 per cent of farmers (352) said that they had a closed herd over the past 12 months, while 114 brought bulls onto the farm. However, of the 114 bringing in bulls – 42 stated that they were a closed herd. Other replacement policies included buying in heifers or cows (97), rearing heifers or calves away (37), purchasing fattening stock (29) and importing cattle from Europe (13). Having a closed herd and vaccination were the most popular biosecurity measures reported – with 316 and 289 respondents respectively using these methods. Other reported measures included double-fenced boundaries (152), quarantining all incoming cattle (131) and testing all incoming cattle (130). Although vaccination and having a closed herd are the two most frequently cited biosecurity measures, often farms which state they are closed will buy in animals, especially bulls. Vaccination timing can also be problematic and Bovela is a one-shot injection with a 12-month duration of immunity which can help simplify things, Boehringer noted. For example, 18 per cent of producers have restarted a vaccination course because they had missed the six-month booster,

Cattle & Sheep performance and reduced disease can mean the payback is worth it. When considering mineral supplementation, it is important to also understand that other minerals, such as sulphur, molybdenum, iron and calcium, which are present in feed, forage and water can act as antagonists and limit the absorption of trace minerals administered orally. These minerals interact with trace minerals in the rumen, reducing their absorption and meaning only a small proportion of the supplement administered is ever available to the animal. The only way to avoid this interaction is to administer trace minerals via the injectable route.

Trace minerals in cattle: How to administer effectively Dr Tim Potter, senior clinical director at Westpoint Farm Vets, which is part of VetPartners, explains the pros and cons of various measures of administering trace minerals, and their impact on health and productivity. Whilst trace elements are only required in very small amounts, it is worth remembering that their impacts can be significant. There are over 15 different elements required in varying quantities for optimum health and productivity and it is beyond the scope of this article to provide a detailed overview of each and every one. Instead, we will concentrate on some of the key trace minerals. Selenium: White muscle disease is the most commonly identified presentation of clinical selenium deficiency, but ill thrift, reduced immunity and infertility may also be seen. Antioxidant enzymes are required to neutralise damaging free radicals, but unless there are sufficient available trace minerals to produce these antioxidant enzymes, oxidative stress results, impacting the health and performance of cattle. Copper: Copper is involved in multiple functions such as energy metabolism, coat pigmentation, immunity, iron metabolism, bone growth and development. Signs of deficiency can be highly variable. Perhaps most recognised are coat colour changes (especially around the eyes and ears), ill thrift, anaemia and potentially infertility. In youngstock, copper deficiency can result in signs of lameness and poor growth. It is important that before undertaking copper supplementation the true status of the farm and the animals is established, as over provision can lead to toxicity. Zinc: Zinc deficiency signs include poor growth rates, altered gait and stiff joints, failure of wound healing, and reduced reproductive performance. Manganese: Manganese deficiency gives rise to poor growth rates, impaired skeletal development, stiff gaits and swollen joints. In severe cases it can also result in calf deformities.

Solutions for supplementation Understanding the mineral status of your herd is key and your vet will be able to advise on appropriate testing to establish this. Once you know your status you can look at how best to address any deficiencies. The most important thing to consider before feeding/administering mineral supplements is the mineral contribution of all inputs already in the animal’s diet. The level of mineral supplementation required by an animal will depend on its stage in the production cycle, but also the forage composition of the diet and the availability of minerals from the raw constituents. One of the most used ways of providing mineral supplementation is the provision of free choice minerals in the form of licks or blocks. The difficulty with such an approach is the variability in dosing, with some animals getting little or none of the supplement whilst others may intake much more than is required. Providing mineral supplementation in-feed can be an easy way to address the mineral needs of cattle. Animals are more likely to get the required amounts than from licks or blocks, but it is worthwhile remembering that when feed intakes drop, either because of disease or around events such as calving, intakes of essential minerals will also fall. In-feed administration is also not appropriate all the time (e.g. whilst animals are at pasture) and can be challenging when animals are transitioning between different diets (e.g. at weaning). Direct administration of the required minerals to animals via injections, oral drenches or ruminal boluses has the advantage of ensuring that each animal receives the prescribed dose of minerals and trace elements and administration can be targeted to coincide with specific risk periods. It is often viewed as more labour intensive, requiring handlings etc but the benefits of improved

Targeting at-risk periods When considering the production cycle of cattle, there are key phases when animals are most likely to see the impact of clinical and subclinical mineral deficiencies. For adult animals, these are generally around breeding and calving. For youngstock, proper mineral nutrition is essential throughout the growing period if they are to achieve their targeted growth rates, but stressful events such as weaning and other management changes can also increase the risk of mineral deficiencies. Knowing there are specific risk periods allows us to be very targeted with additional supplementation. In dairy cattle, studies have demonstrated that cows treated with the injectable mineral supplement Multimin at dry-off, 30 days pre-calving and 35 days in milk showed improved milk quality and udder health and reduced mastitis rates. In beef cattle treated with the same product prior to calving and then again 30 days prior to the start of the breeding period, a much more compact calving pattern was achieved. In younger growing animals targeting mineral supplementation around stressful events such as movements and weaning can have significant effects. Several calf rearing units I work with have started using Multimin prior to major management changes and have seen reductions in disease incidence and reduced need for antimicrobial treatments.

Conclusions The importance of trace minerals should not be underestimated. At critical times of the production cycle (e.g. calving, lactation, breeding and vaccination), there is increased demand for trace minerals, and these can be addressed in a targeted way using injectable products such as Multimin.

Useful footbaths for lameness in sheep Vet pharmacologist Dr TB Barragry offers an analysis of current treatment options, including a new alternative that has proved highly successful. Lameness is one of the biggest problems in sheep farming and the condition causes considerable morbidity by impacting significantly on productivity and economic returns. It is also a major animal welfare issue. Regular and chronic lameness problems adversely affect fertility, especially conception rates in ewes, body condition score, growth, productivity, longevity, and predisposition to other diseases. It is a major negative cost factor in terms of production losses and treatment costs; and the serious visual impact with welfare implications negatively impacts public perceptions of sheep farming. In the UK, the farmer-estimated prevalence of lameness over a period of 10 years in English flocks was an average of 8.4 per cent – and was similar a decade later at 10 per cent.

Risk factors Continuous exposure to moisture and dirt is a significant risk factor, as is lack of regular, routine preventive foot bathing, as well as poor biosecurity and/or delayed treatment, which exacerbates the condition and facilitates quick spread. There is evidence to suggest inappropriate hoof trimming can increase the risk of bacterial spread and longterm hoof injury. Flock owners must be ruthless by culling persistently infected sheep. All new bought-in or incoming sheep should be quarantined for 28 days to avoid the introduction of a different strain of foot rot or contagious ovine digital dermatitis (CODD). Sheep should be carefully examined while in quarantine for signs of foot problems; any developing lameness must not be added to the flock. Attention to the foot health of the entire flock, and avoidance of transmission of highly infectious pathogens, coupled with rapid action, regular foot baths, vaccination and good biosecurity will underpin successful management of lameness prevention.

Summary of lameness types Foot rot and scald account for 90 per cent of lameness on most sheep farms. Scald occurs

between the hoof horns and is usually a reddish discolouration and moist with loss of hair. Inflammation occurs in the skin between the digits. There is generally no bad smell and little or no involvement of the hoof. Foot rot is a very common disease (in 80% of flocks) of the hoof that originates between digits but develops to an under-run hoof and also has a distinctive smell. Foot rot is highly infectious and commonly caused by two bacteria, Dichelobacter nodosus and Fusobacterium necroporum. D. nodosus thrives and spreads rapidly in the UK’s moist temperate climate. With easy transmission from sheep to sheep, proper control and prevention must focus on the whole flock, as it is particularly transmissible when sheep are confined in a small area, e.g. during housing, in handling yards, contaminated bedding or access routes. CODD is regarded as one of the most severe foot conditions affecting sheep. Sheep suffering from cases of CODD can be left permanently lame due to changes to underlying tissues and bone within the hoof. Other foot conditions include Shelly Hoof, White Line abscess, and Toe Granuloma.

Treatments A very useful vaccine is available to prevent and reduce the incidence of the foot rot disease. It is widely used and is a successful deterrent. Regular foot baths with a safe and effective compound are a sound financial investment. Footbaths have been used as routine prophylactics for lameness for many years and most have centred around copper, zinc, or formalin type ingredients. Some new alternatives are now available, which, on the basis of clinical field trials, hold up very well compared to copper or formalin. In addition, these newer compounds are safer for the handler and less toxic to the environment. Formalin, for instance, is known to be carcinogenic, toxic and irritant, and copper is environmentally toxic and can be toxic to sheep. A new alternative to these traditional footbath types is tea tree oil (TTO), an essential oil which has been shown to have many beneficial medicinal

uses as an antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antibacterial agent. It also promotes health in the hoof keratin. Hoofsure Endurance from Provita is a proven and safe footbath solution, a proprietary blend of organic acids, tea tree oil, and wetting agents. It has been highly successful in the field in both sheep and cattle, in preventing lameness and thereby avoiding heavy financial costs. Comparative field trials were performed using Hoofsure Endurance against copper sulfate and formalin footbaths, albeit primarily on cattle lesions but the data is very much transferrable to sheep because the infection cycle is very similar. Notable research shows that Hoofsure Endurance is up to 44 per cent more effective than formalin and copper sulfate, with proven antibacterial activity. Queens University Belfast performed a time kill study on Hoofsure Endurance, to determine its inherent antibacterial nature compared to formalin and copper sulfate (see Figure 1). Under clean test conditions, within five minutes copper sulfate and formaldehyde were 99.99 per cent and 99.9999 per cent less effective than Hoofsure Endurance. Under dirty conditions (designed to replicate a typical on-farm challenge), within five minutes, the efficacy of copper sulfate and formaldehyde were reduced even further, while the efficacy of Hoofsure Endurance was unaffected. This was backed by a recent independent study on the effectiveness of footbath solutions in sheep, which found that 65 per cent of sheep improved after one pass through a footbath containing Hoofsure Endurance at 2 per cent dilution rate.

Extra feeding options with new self-propelled feeder The Kverneland Siloking self-propelled feeder range has been extended with the introduction of the System 300+ model in the SelfLine 4.0 range. This new version represents the smallest SelfLine 4.0 conventionalchassis machine currently available from Kverneland, and is offered with four capacities – 19, 22, 25 and 27m3. It slots into the range between the 13–22m3 rearsteer, tricycle-style Compact and Premium chassis models, and the larger System 500+ and System 1000+ models that span a range of capacities from 19–32m3. Based on the proven System

500+ version, the smaller System 300+ models offers an airsuspended chassis with four-wheel steering and a 25kph road speed. Power comes from a 218hp Volvo engine, with 1,000-hour service intervals contributing to lower cost of ownership. Equipped with a 2m wide milling head that supplies the mixing tub using a 700mm-wide belt conveyor, the System 300+ boasts twin vertical augers with adjustable,

hardened knives and an integral FlowPlus hopper ring to improve bale processing. Discharge options include a hydraulic cross-conveyor, and rear doors.

Having quick, reliable data at your farming fingertips is key for any livestock business. Shearwell Data Ltd has developed the exciting new ShearWeigh weigh head and app to help farm businesses. The versatile system was designed by the Shearwell technical team, with input from the farm team. The ShearWeigh ensures that busy livestock farmers can set up easily and quickly. So, whether you simply want to weigh your livestock or measure your animals’ daily liveweight gains (DLWG) to ensure you are on target with your stock’s performance, or simply ensure health treatments are correctly applied according to the animal’s weight, Shearwell says the ShearWeigh weigh head and app are the tools for you. The ShearWeigh has been trialled on a range of farms and because of its robust design, it is capable of withstanding the rigours of a working farm and extreme weather conditions, the company says. The trials have demonstrated accuracy, a quick read, simplicity of function, clear readout, reliability and excellent value for money. FG

Shearwell Data has recently made an addition to the family of Combi 3000 tags by adding a ‘Medium’ sized tag to the existing large, small and button range. The Combi 3000 Medium has been specifically designed for smaller breeds, or for farmers who prefer working with smaller-sized primary tags. It can be used in combination with either a button or small tag as a secondary tag. It is important to emphasise that the correct applicator or pin must be used to insert Combi 3000 tags. Richard Webber, director of Shearwell Data, comments: “As a farmer I know the importance of using reliable tags – I want to do the job once. I don’t want the hassle of having to replace tags – as livestock farmers we are all busy and we want to minimise the stress on our stock. Therefore, I am delighted to introduce the new Combi 3000 range of cattle tags. “They have evolved from the very popular Combi 2000 tag range and having trialled them on our own farms and with other farmers I know they work extremely well. The addition of the Combi 3000 Medium tag to the range is in response to feedback from our customers for a slightly smaller primary tag for smaller breeds.”

Cattle & Sheep Sheeting range offers complete silage clamp protection Using side sheets in clamps has been proven to significantly reduce silage spoilage along the side walls, where mould is highly likely. This saves time at feed-out, with no need to spend time removing wasted forage. Visqueen says its Side Sheets are easy to apply and significantly stronger, with excellent tear and weather resistance. They come in lengths of 25m or 50m to ensure the best fit. Part of the Visqueen range, Clingseal is a thinner, more flexible vacuum sheet that clings to the contours of the clamp surface and provides an excellent oxygen barrier to reduce air pockets. It has been proven to reduce top and shoulder losses from aerobic spoilage. Clingseal provides a better air seal in

comparison to using only a top sheet and facilitates a faster, more efficient fermentation process, Visqueen says. Easy to apply, it is suitable for a variety of ensiled crops, including grass, maize, wholecrop and other moist feeds. Meanwhile, Visqueen Agri-S top sheet has robust impact features, preventing tears and splits during the sheeting process. Resistance to weathering protects the silage from the harshest of weather conditions, whilst UV inhibitors provide essential protection from sunlight. Using Visqueen Side Sheets, Clingseal and Visqueen Agri-S together seals the clamp in all directions to ensure significantly less spoilage on every outer surface of the clamp, the company says. FG

New IQ sheep tags now available With Covid-19 initially delaying farm trials, Agri-Tag says it’s been quite a journey to start supplying its new IQ sheep tags. With perseverance, PAS approvals were completed and, by the end of February, Agri-Tag had shipped a bulk order for 30,000 units, with others to follow in March and August. Agri-Tag’s second approval should be completed this month. The company says it has had a promising start, with distributors showing faith in the product. It is currently working with another tag manufacturer to develop a cattle tag range, which will include visual, electronic (including UHF) and tissue tags. This will be exclusive to Agri-Tag in the UK and Ireland.

The range will complement the sheep and goat range already being supplied and ensures the company can provide a full range of tags to any distributor wishing to look for an alternative, ‘independent’ tag supplier. Although Agri-Tag is very happy for farmers to buy direct from its website, its main strategy was to supply the trade with quality product at a margin that can sustain both manufacturer and trader. The company has some other exciting products on the way, such as its own stick reader due this month, and a selection of management tags it is looking to offer as complementary products – at a price to suit the most constrained budget.

Terrington Machinery’s range of imported Einbock grassland harrows and seeders has expanded as a result of growing customer demand for machines that can cope with various conditions. The harrow range includes four different models: the Sportstar for fine turf; the Grass-Manager for pasture maintenance; Grass-Manager SR for more aggressive working on permanent pasture or heavy land; and finally the Grass-Manager PRO, which uses hydraulic pressurising of the sections to apply or release pressure on the tines from the tractor seat, giving the user control for different working conditions within a field. Any of the range of harrows can be fitted with an Einbock pneumatic box to convert into Pneumaticstar

Seeders, enabling reseeding, undersowing of grass or seeding any small seed. The Pneumaticbox MD is a mechanical metered seeder box that is metered from a landwheel on the harrow. As standard with twin electric fan up to 6m but PTO and hydraulic are available. Pneumaticbox STI is an electronic version that can be either used with a landwheel and top link sensor or 7-pin info socket that takes information from the tractor. As standard with tank level sensor, airstream monitor and full in cab control to allow for seed rate adjustment and full read out of seed rates, speed and daily working acreage etc. Again, twin electric fans are as standard but PTO and hydraulic are available.

ATV protects customers with CESAR The CESAR Security System, powered by Datatag, is the official security initiative of the Agricultural Engineers Association (AEA), and is fitted as a standard feature on all new Suzuki utility ATVs. While it might be classed as a standard feature, Suzuki says it is anything but. Datatag is a unique security system comprised of layers that will never wear out or need servicing. Once fitted, it gives your ATV a unique ‘fingerprint’, with an identity that cannot be erased, however hard a criminal may try. With Datatag installed, your Suzuki ATV becomes four times less likely to be stolen and six times more likely to be recovered, as it is virtually

impossible to defeat this multi-layered system; giving you peace of mind. Plus, there is the added benefit of reduced insurance premiums by up to 12.5 per cent. Statistics from the latest Suzuki ATV registration and theft report show that out of all Suzuki’s ATVs sold, there is only a 1.9 per cent theft rate, but crucially, there is also a 24.5 per cent recovery rate, which is just as good as any tracker system, Suzuki says. With a security system that’s easily installed and acts as both a powerful deterrent against theft and an invaluable aid in recovery in the event of loss, protecting your Suzuki ATV has never been easier, the company reckons.

Primed seed variety sets the standard in fodder beet trials Late drilling slot could be the answer to unlocking key benefits of primed fodder beet seed, says agronomist Steven Gate. Following recent unpredictable UK weather patterns, Agrovista agronomist and trials manager Steven Gate (right) confirms that trial work looking into the advantages of primed fodder beet seed have so far proved inconclusive. Whilst extensive trial work in France and UK-replicated trials from Elsoms Seeds show undoubted benefits to the use of primed seed, dry

“

drilling fodder beet is going to be critical for growers in the future,” Mr Gate says. Advantages of primed seed include more even establishment, faster germination ensuring young fodder beet plants become more competitive – and, importantly, helping the developing fodder beet crop to overcome pests such as virus yellows, which posed a significant problem in 2020.

bTB: Helping to prevent badger access to cattle feed As bovine TB can survive for months in the environment and still be infective, it is important to break the habit of badgers visiting farms, as part of efforts to reduce transmission, said farm vet Sarah Tomlinson at this year’s Dairy Tech Online. Access to available feed and mineral licks on-farm have helped badger populations to thrive. While we may not be able to completely

eliminate the risks, we can help to manage it by protecting food sources to reduce the number of badgers visiting. With this in mind, Shield Ventilation creates bespoke feed storage bins from galvanised steel, tailor-made for the farmer. The company has been in the ductwork/ventilation industry for over 35 years but began creating the storage bins just over a year ago – inspired by the company’s accounts administrator Brooke Shield, who produced the first container for her horse feed and other supplies. This prompted requests from everyone on her yard and from there, popularity has spread through word of mouth and social media. Features include welded tops to keep the shape solid, safety edges, bolted-on handles and a riveted bottom. Shield can manufacture any size with any number of compartments and begins by creating a sketch for the customer to approve. For more information, contact the company directly. FG

agronomic passes, including chemical applications that can be more tailored to the crop. With current and future legislative pressure on use of chemicals, any new tool that can help make young crops more resilient to pests and diseases has to be of importance to growers. Elsoms’ portfolio contains eight fodder beet varieties, including Jamon, which is currently the biggest selling and most popular variety. Meanwhile Cagnotte, a high-yielding, rhizomaniaresistant variety with high dry matter, has performed exceptionally well in UK trials. Cagnotte primed seed will be available to the UK market for the 2021 season. “On new varieties, Brunium will be commercially available to fodder beet growers for the first time this year with limited seed availability. Brunium is rhizomania-tolerant, with a conical shape and provides a high energy feed that suits any farming system. This variety offers all the existing benefits of Jamon and presents a highly palatable feed for both cattle and sheep,” concludes Ms Wells. FG

the missing link to unlocking more benefits from primed seed. During this year’s trials we will be looking to expand our work in this area before sharing data with customers and suppliers. “In terms of our fodder beet trials using conventional seed, Cagnotte, from breeder Florimond Desprez, continues to set the standard, consistently yielding 12 per cent ahead of the next best variety in last year’s trials. A major plus for growers is its conical shape and smooth surface, enabling a cleaner lift with low dirt tare.” Elsoms energy and forage crop manager Henrietta Wells (right) sees priming as a potential game changer. “Primed seed germinates more quickly, enabling young fodder beet plants to become more resilient to climatic conditions, insects and diseases.

A more efficient way to deal with heat stress Galebreaker’s William Johnson spoke to Farmers Guide about the rising costs of heat stress for UK farmers, why current ventilation systems are producing sub-standard results, and how to make sure your dairy cows are comfortable this summer. Q. How serious is the issue of heat stress in the UK? A. In the recent past, ambient temperatures in the UK were not considered an important factor in milk production. However, growing evidence suggests that even the relatively low ambient temperatures experienced during the UK summer can cause symptoms of heat stress in dairy cows.

Q. What are the consequences of ignoring heat stress? A. Lower milk yields, depressed feed intakes, reduced fertility and increased risk of mastitis are all consequences of this oversight, and the associated cost only continues to grow as global temperatures increase.

Q. How can we reduce the effects of heat stress in our dairy herds? A. The obvious solution is to improve ventilation and airflow to farm buildings and cattle, but the current standard way of doing this – using traditional fan ventilation, which is a continuation of what has worked for the last half century – may be exacerbating, rather than solving, the problem. Traditional fans work well in large, contained dairies like those found in the US, for instance, but in the UK the average herd size is far smaller. Typically, for the last 50 years at least, UK herds are housed in buildings where natural ventilation is the primary means of building

climate management. However, as farms have expanded, buildings have become larger, significantly reducing the effects of natural ventilation. Combined with the increasing effects of climate change and more continuous summer temperatures, the conditions within buildings for cows are becoming increasingly unsuitable.

Q. What is the alternative to traditional fan ventilation? A. Positive pressure tube ventilation systems are more efficient to run than traditional fans, since the airflow is directed at animal level and the tube extends along the length of the building. A smaller, single fan can be used to ventilate a large building (up to 54 linear metres) whilst providing the critical airflow speed to produce a cooling effect on the cow. Crucially, unlike traditional fan systems, VentTube Cool brings in a constant supply of evenly distributed fresh air. Galebreaker VentTube systems can also be easily retrofitted into existing naturally ventilated buildings of any size, design or age.

Q. What positive pressure tube ventilation system do you recommend? A. The Galebreaker VentTube Cool – the latest addition to our successful VentTube range – provides a chill effect and replenishes barns and sheds with clean, fresh, equally dispersed air at animal level. Fully retractable and more cost-efficient than traditional fans, it addresses and solves

the damaging impact of high ambient temperatures and damp environments on milk yield, fertilisation rates and animal comfort.

Q. How does the VentTube Cool work? A. With strategic air holes running down its length, the VentTube Cool quickly and easily optimises air circulation and removes the problems associated with traditional fans. The result is significantly improved animal productivity and far less instances of respiratory disease. The VentTube Cool’s unique design allows it to distribute clean fresh air and provide a stable environment for livestock. It is a prudent investment for any dairy farmer wishing to mitigate the effects of our increasingly warm summers.

Noticeable results UK farmer and VentTube customer Rob Bowen explains the results achieved on his farm: “We have been running the VentTube Cool constantly since it was fitted and the results have been noticeable. This winter, we had less instances of pneumonia, which we believe was due to better ventilation and movement of air in the building. During the autumn and winter months when the air outside is cold and still, we found that the VentTube Cool helped to push the stale, warm air out and bring in fresh, clean air.” For more information on the VentTube positive pressure tube ventilation range, contact the Galebreaker sales team.

Q&A: HEAT STRESS

HEATSTRESS? The climate in the barn is the key!

Livestock editor Sarah Kidby spoke to farm vet Clodagh Tanner (pictured left) from Penbode Vets, part of the Vet Partners group, to find out her advice on measures dairy farmers can take to help prevent heat stress.

Q Q

What are your top tips for preventing heat stress? A: The main thing is to make sure there’s sufficient

water provision – water intake will increase by 10–20 per cent on hot days. Ideally, troughs – especially metal ones – should be shaded if they are outside. Providing shade to animals outdoors in general is important and if they’re housed, ventilation will be one of the biggest factors. In an ideal situation, automatic ventilation systems would be used, but this may not be practical for every farmer. For those relying on natural ventilation, the easiest way is to open up the sidewall and remove the roof ridge to allow moisture to escape. If temperatures keep going up and up, farmers may increasingly start to use artificial ventilation, fans and sprinkler systems etc, which are quite widespread in the US. As we look ahead to warmer weather, farmers can be reviewing the natural ventilation in their buildings and thinking about whether to open up the sides, making sure sheds are not overly humid. If there’s heavy vegetation around the sides of the building, this should be cut back. It's a good idea to give over 60 per cent of feed between 8pm and 8am, as dry matter intake will increase when it is cooler overnight.

Do you recommend supplements? A: At high risk times, supplementation is a good idea

for any cattle, but especially for animals who are most at risk such as high producing dairy cows. The supplements available will help to increase dry matter intake and maintain milk production and fertility while reducing disease incidence and acidosis associated with heat stress. Forage quality is also important in deciding if supplementation is necessary as low quality, stemmy forage generates a lot more heat from fermentation in comparison to high quality forage, which will be digested more quickly.

CROSS VENTILATION

What should dairy farmers be looking out for? A: When temperatures are above 25ºC, farmers need to

be looking out for signs of heat stress – including lethargy, inactivity, cows holding their heads down and increased respiratory rate. An emergency situation would be if cows measure over 100 breaths per minute and a body temperature above 40ºC.

Livestock Diet feeder specialist appoints new Scottish dealer

BvL has announced the appointment of AM Phillip Agritech as its new dealer for northern and eastern Scotland. All six AM Phillip Agritech depots from Glenrothes in Fife to Bridge of Ord near Inverness have taken on the sales and service for the complete BvL range of diet feeders and silage

handling attachments. A long-established family company founded in 1860, BvL was the first to introduce a vertical mixer wagon to the market over 40 years ago, and has grown to become one of the world’s leading manufacturers of diet mixers. This year it celebrates 21 years of sales and service in the UK. Following its appointment, the AM Phillip Agritech sales team have received training for the complete V-Mix diet feeder range, from the smallest 5m3 single auger up to the largest 46m3 triple-axle machines, in addition to BvL’s range of Maximus self-propelled mixers. AM Phillip Agritech has also recently taken delivery of a sizeable parts order to ensure that each depot will be able to provide a high level of service and support for the BvL range, with parts support from BvL UK. AM Phillip Agritech has been selling agricultural machinery for over 40 years and in 2018 joined The Scot JCB Group. It also owns Kelso & Lothian Harvesters, the BvL dealers for the Borders and Lothian region. FG

Cross ventilation reduces heat stress Cows will be exposed to heat stress situations with increasing frequency in coming years, so farmers will need to take appropriate measures to reduce this, in order to produce milk from healthy and high-performing cows. Natural ventilation provided by free flow of air on the eave sides is enhanced by side walls that can be completely opened, but there is often no cross-ventilation during high summer temperatures when air remains still. Abbi-Aerotech BV has been marketing cross ventilation systems since 2010. The use of fans installed in exterior walls brings fresh outside air into the barn and actively cools the animals by maintaining an air speed of at least 2m/second. Abbifan 140-XXP-2 fans are

automatically tilted forward at an angle of 15–18 degrees so the necessary air speed is delivered to the correct area. Air quality is also much improved, and there are fewer problems with flies. The maximum power consumption is 530W/hour when operating at top speed, resulting in savings of about £387/fan/year compared to existing models. There are two options available for producing cooling by controlled evaporation of water. This can take place directly on the cow’s back at the feed fence, using cow showers (‘soaking’) or through high-pressure misting systems spraying fine mist into the air at 70 bar. Cross-ventilation makes the installation of a high-pressure misting system easier and significantly more cost-effective. FG

Balers & Bale Handling The Autostack FSX 63-72 handling system from Arcusin offers high output bale clearing from field to stack.

Power on the land The topic for this month’s Power on the Land is balers and bale handling, brought to you as always by Mike Williams. Long-term trends in the UK baler market include a downturn in the demand for machines for making traditional small bales – round balers are established as the popular choice, and sales of baler-wrapper combinations are increasing steadily. The New Holland range covers all the main sectors of the market, starting with the BC5000 making small conventional bales and with the Roll Baler 125 Combi baler-wrapper combination as the flagship model. The Combi model is based on the fixed chamber 125 Roll Baler plus a bale wrapper, and the specification includes a

Crop Cutter chopping unit with 20 blades, the pick-up working width is 2.3m with five tine bars, net and film wrapping are available and an improved drop-floor unit simplifies blockage clearance. New Holland’s round baler range also includes Roll Belt 150 and 180 variable chamber balers, both available in Superfeed and Crop Cutter versions. Maximum bale diameters are 1.5 and 1.8m and the bale chamber provides density control for the core and outer layers with adjustment from the cab. Roll Belt features also include New Holland’s IntelliBale automation, with the baler controlling some of

the tractor functions. Last year’s new arrivals in the Kuhn baler range were the high specification VB 7100 series variable chamber models. The 7160 version has a 1.6m maximum bale diameter, increasing to 1.85m for the 7185. Both have a 2.3m width pick-up reel, Isobus compatibility is standard and the Kuhn i-DENSE control system with twin tension arms automatically adjusts the pressure to match the crop type and condition. Performance features claimed for the VB 7100 balers include up to 140kg/m3 density in straw, and having the fastest bale ejection and tailgate closing cycle currently available helps to achieve a work rate of up to 30t/hr. In addition, the Kuhn range includes FB series fixed chamber round balers, and there is also a range of big square balers with 0.8m and 1.2m chamber sizes mounted on tandem axles, while the 1.2 x 0.7m model is also available with a single axle. Baler-wrapper combination models include the compact i-BIO model based on an FB series fixed chamber baler, and the VBP 3100 is an FB series variable chamber baler combined with a wrapper. Special equipment to simplify big square bale handling from the field to the stack is available in the Arcusin range. The UK distributor is Nottinghamshire-based Arcusin UK, and it offers a choice of handling The high specification VB 7100 variable chamber series are a new addition to the Kuhn baler range.

systems, including the Autostack FSX 63-72 that can handle big square bales of any size and starts in the field with fully automatic pick-up and loading functions. Arriving at the stack, the bales are off-loaded to form an extension to the stack, and the Autostack is ready for the next load. The Autostack range also includes the XP54 bale chaser with a standard specification that includes tandem steering axles and is designed to form bale stacks up to 5.4m high. The bale handling range from Arcusin also includes the Multipack D14, providing a bulk handling system for small conventional bales. Krone baler choices start with the fixed chamber Bellima round baler in F125 and F130 versions using chain and slat bale forming. Pick-up working widths are 1.4 and 1.8m, and customers can choose net and/or twine wrap. The Comprima and Comprima Plus variable chamber balers use four belts to make bales with diameters from 0.8–1.9m, and are equipped with the EasyFlow pickup with a 2.15m working width, operating without a cam track. The VariPack cutting unit for Comprima models has 17 blades, and a 26-blade version is available for the Comprima Plus models, which can have twine or net wrapping. Combination baler-wrappers in the Krone range are based on Comprima Plus balers. For big square bales, Krone offers the Big Pack models featuring a camless pick-up and available continued over…

Balers & Bale Handling

Bale accumulators proving quite the draw bar system between baler and accumulator this last season to help eliminate the issues we encountered during transportation, and we were really pleased with the results. Ideally suited to longer chamber balers, I’m delighted to say that we can now offer our customers the draw bar system for purchase as an optional extra on sales of all new and used accumulators.” Operation of the draw bar is simple – utilising the baler’s tailgate hydraulics allows the machine’s driver the flexibility to quickly switch the accumulator between being a fixed or trailed implement. The bar is extended during transportation, aiding manoeuvrability and eliminating tail-swing. Once in the field, the bar can be retracted allowing the accumulator to be coupled to the baler, and fixed into place with pins. You can get more information on the range of Parkland Bale Accumulators, and see a video of the draw bar system in operation at www.prostrawsystems.co.uk FG

The new draw bar connecting a Krone Big Pack 1290 HDP Baler and Parkland 455 Bale Accumulator.

The Parkland Bale Accumulator solves the issue of tail-swing and allows greater manoeuvrability in transportation. The Parkland Bale Accumulator was designed and first manufactured in Denmark nearly 20 years ago, and over the past couple of decades it has been developed and refined into an essential piece of machinery for cereal growers and straw producers at harvest time. PJ Reed Ltd in Suffolk is the exclusive importer of Parkland

Bale Accumulators for the UK and Republic of Ireland. The now-proven method of dropping up to five bales at a time along the headland has halved collection time from the field compared to bales deposited in singles, whilst dramatically reducing soil compaction. Farmers who

operate a Parkland Accumulator in tandem with their baler have seen real savings on costs and time, leading to less wear and tear on their machinery, PJ Reed says. During normal operation in the field, the accumulator is firmly coupled behind the baler to allow for a smooth, even collection of ejected bales. In transportation mode, the length of the baler and accumulator being towed together has often provided a few difficulties, as Paddy from PJ Reed explains: “We do a lot of bale contracting work throughout East Anglia, and have to negotiate many narrow twisting country lanes and tight field gateways. Travelling to each job from our base near Bury St Edmunds involves clocking up a fair number of miles, and you’re always mindful of tail-swing when out on the roads with machinery in tow. “We decided to trial a new draw

Clever and careful automated wrapped bale collection When it comes to self-loading bale trailers, few can provide the innovation required to grab, lift, twist, position and push bales in place in a bid to speed up the process of field clearance without the need for a telehandler or an extra member of staff. Enter the Canadian-manufactured Anderson RBM2000 Pro – featuring clever software and advanced hydraulics to provide a seamless loading process, bales can be squeezed in the position they drop from the wrapper or, at the press of a button, can be picked up if they have been tipped on their side. The RMB2000

PRO has the capacity to take up to 20 bales on each load. Anderson also offers RBM models for unwrapped round bales in two sizes, taking either 14 or 20 bales, offering efficiency in the field and reduced soil compaction. Square bales are handled by the Anderson Stackpro 5400 and 7200. Their high speed ensures smooth transitions, easy collection, transport and stacking of bales, saving time and labour. The only difference between the two models is the size and number of bales carried. D. Clifford & Sons Limited, based

Balers & Bale Handling

New baler wrapper proving itself

Precision and control where it matters Precisely knowing the moisture level in hay and straw is critical to achieve a quality end product – as such, PFC Agri Solutions now offers a full line of moisture sensors and application equipment for balers. According to PFC, its moisture sensors offer marketleading accuracy of +/-1 per cent and a working range up to 70 per cent moisture. The small square and large square baler range use the precision twin star wheels, while round balers use twin discs. Pulsing 10V though the entire width of the bale, the sensors detect moisture in real time, and the systems can be controlled via iOS or Android app or Isobus. The PFC semi-automatic applicator is the entry level system, with either a diaphragm pump for water-based liquids or a gear pump for acids. Entering the bale weight and time allows the system to calculate

the baling speed. Simply enter the litres per tonne required, and the system will apply at the given rate until adjusted. The top-of-the-range Harvest Tec 3 and 7 series applicators, suitable for all baler types, are designed to install directly onto balers with baler-specific frames and nozzle assemblies. The system monitors the baling performance and moisture and adjusts the application rate automatically. The applicator auto-pauses on headland turns and bale ejection. The system is fully integrated with Massey, Fendt, New Holland and Case IH large square baler electronics. What’s more, applying Baler’s Choice preservative to hay and straw is simple with the automatic applicator and built-in moisture sensors. FG

In 2020, Tanco introduced the Q-Series square and round bale wrapper which replaces the 1540-EH, and just like the 1540-EH the Q-Series can be either used on tractor front or rear linkage, or on a telehandler/ loading shovel. The Q-Series is available as either a two plastic dispenser version – the Q-200 – or a three plastic dispenser version, the Q-300. The Q-series is a fully automatic wrapper which is capable of wrapping every bale size (square and round) available, and is standard with auto-load (achieved by level sensors within the bale roller frame), auto

start wrap, auto level and auto unload. The proven telescopic cut and hold that Tanco has used since 2015 on the 1400 and S-series bale wrappers has been incorporated into the design of the new Q-Series. Customer and operator feedback was a strong driver in the development of the Q-series, Tanco says. This led to significant changes being introduced on the Q-Series, such as longer bale rollers, proportional oil flow, indexed bale rotation, gear driven satellites and adjustable width of the bale rollers. Load sensing is also available on the Q-Series. FG

Balers & Bale Handling

Tidy stacks created automatically

Specialist launches bale grab especially suitable for contractors Attachment specialist Albutt Ltd has launched a bale grab, aimed specifically at contractors, to complement its existing ranges. The F470 was designed primarily for users who are regularly moving tens of thousands of bales, and has a host of features to withstand the intense nature of this work. Based on its bestselling F450 side squeeze grab, the F470 has a parallel action, suitable for both round and square bales. This time

however, the grab operates with nylon bushes moving on a solid bar. It also opens wider (2,450mm) and closes narrower (700mm) than the F450. To achieve this, it features two rams either side, which the firm says means less strain is put on the arms as one set of rams can be locked to give a shorter operating leverage. To increase efficiency, the F470 also features a substantial spill protection frame to allow a second bale to be carried. FG

Arcusin UK Ltd not only offers the Arcusin bale chaser models that handle all the bale sizes of large square bales, but also is now promoting its Forstack machine. This machine easily collects all the bales sizes of 120cm or 80cm wide. The machine width is altered by replacing an optional cross member on the machine, or by choosing the hydraulically adjusting cross member option that can more easily accommodate both bale widths. The Forstack travels in the same direction as the baler, without crossing in-field tramlines, and is capable of forming stacks of bales that are square and tidy. The machine works automatically and can form stacks of five bales high (70x120cm) or four high

(90x120cm). The machine can also stack the Arcusin Multipacks to three packs high. Stacks can be left dispersed throughout the field as the bale stacks are completed or accumulated at the end of the field at a suitable site for loading onto trailers. When the machine is used in accumulated mode, it will carry the stack until the operator presses the button to download it at the desired location. The Forstack machine has its own oil tank and uses a PTO pump to operate the system, which reduces the tractor power requirement to a minimum of 120hp for maximum machine performance. The machine can follow multiple balers of the same bale width, working in the same location. FG

Balers & Bale Handling

Compact high-capacity round baler range meeting expectation A range of high-capacity round balers from Krone that offer exceptional flexibility is capturing interest from UK farmers and contractors. Top of the list are the Comprima CF 155 XC Plus (with the well-proven semi variable chamber for 1.25–1.5m bales), Comprima CV 150 XC Plus (variable chamber for 1–1.5m bales), VariPack V 165 XC Plus (0.8– 1.65m) and the V 190 XC Plus (0.8–1.9m). One advantage of the Comprima combi baler is its ability to make and wrap silage bales with a diameter greater than 1.3m. The Comprima Plus twin dispensers orbit around the bale at 36rpm for a shorter wrapping cycle. Bale transfer to the wrapping table is fast and reliable with the help of a

bale lifter. The machine can store up to 12 film rolls in the compartments where they are protected from the ingress of dirt. A camless pick-up and five wavy rows of helical tines are designed to evenly distribute material. The precision cutting system is available with 17 or 26 blades with cutting lengths of 42 and 64mm. For maximum crop flexibility, they can be selected in groups of 17/8/9/0 and 26/13/13/0. The rotor is made from extra tempered steel with a hardwearing edge on the cutting system to ensure extended use and stability.

The variable chamber models now feature electric density control, which allows operators to adjust the bale density from the cab. All Comprima Plus machines can either take film or net wrapping. A weighing system and moisture measurement is also available. Krone VariPack round balers have been especially designed for high density baling of wilted and straw crops from a chamber consisting of four belts that revolve at 130m/min. Bale density and soft core are set on the terminal from the cab, with options for altering bale density and size according to crop type. Swift bale ejection is a key feature of VariPack. The rear door opens and closes in less than five seconds.

The higher capacity machine can automatically open and close the door as well as also having an auto door feature, which controls the opening and closing of the door and automatically starts the net wrapping. VariPack operates with EasyFlow camless pick-up with a 2,150mm work width. A standard-fit high-capacity 530mm diameter rotor with 26 integral blades can be set at 42 or 84mm spacing for quick adaptation to varying crops. Selecting the number of blades and removing blockages can be controlled hydraulically from the cab. The body of the baler has sloping panels to reduce the accumulation of dirt and debris. The VariPack runs on 500/22-20 tyres or 500/60-22.5 and 600/50-22.5 as an option. FG

Automation: Efficiency gains and reduced operator fatigue The 4100 Transtacker from Big Bale South is fully automatic, reducing stress to the operator, whilst increasing the efficiency and speed with which you can clear a field of bales – this can be vital during a harvest period of unsettled weather. In its standard form, the Transtacker is fully CTF compatible – all that is required is a tractor front-mounted nudge bar to move the bales to your right, out of the wheelings.

The machine comes standard with tandem axles rated at 60kph, air brakes, ABS, 560/45R-22.5 radial flotation tyres, and is PTO-driven (540rpm). Also available as extras are adjustable drawbar height, reversing camera, lighting package and weigh scale. The 4100 is capable of collecting all of the ‘Big Bale’ large square bale sizes without purchasing any additional equipment – you only need to raise or lower the pick-up

height using the tractor hydraulics. By ‘tying’ the layers together, a safe and stable stack can be immediately produced. The Transtacker can re-pick existing stacks, allowing the operator to clear a field quickly to the headland, for example, and then move them later when time allows. The 4100 Transtacker is also capable of collecting and stacking part loads, completely removing the need for a telehandler to pick up stray bales. FG

Balers & Bale Handling

Efficient handling ensured with grabs and bale spikes Bale spikes in single- and multiple-tine configurations, a roller-type silage-bale handler, and a ‘clap hands’ grab for wrapped and unwrapped bales are among the comprehensive range of JCB Agri attachments ready to put to work.

the force behind the harvest

All are certified for use with JCB telehandlers and loaders and in addition to being strong and durable are easily installed and operated on the diverse range of JCB loading and materials-handling machines. When delicate handling of silage bales is called for, the JCB Agri ‘clap hands’ grab and roller tine attachments provide the solution, especially when the bales are wrapped. The former has a double-acting hydraulic cylinder to close tubular frame ‘paddles’ against a big rectangular bale or a round bale – whether sitting on-end or with the curved side to the ground – while the heavy-duty 12mm tubes of the roller design gently cradles and lifts from beneath the curved side of a round bale. With carefully-considered

geometry and a lack of any sharp edges on either implement, operators can be sure of lifting bales off a wrapper and loading them on to a trailer or storage stack with minimum risk of the protective wrap being torn or punctured. Other bale handling options include the convertible bale spike with bolt-on tines that enable the attachment to be used in singleor twin-spike configuration. Either can be chosen to suit the capacity of the loader being used; and the removable tines are also easily replaced when worn or taken off for added safety when travelling on the road. A high-back frame version with 40mm forged square tines provides added stability for placing bales on to a stack or subsequently retrieving them,

The JCB High Back Bale Spike with removable tines in use on the latest Loadall 538-60 AGRI Super with DualTech VT drive.

especially when the high lift capability of a telehandler is being exploited. For efficient handling of square and round bales of hay, silage and straw, JCB produces single- and twin-spike attachments with shorter supplementary tines that help secure the load safely. The single-bale design suits machines such as the JCB TM180 and TM220 telescopic compact loaders as

well as the TM320 full-size machine, and the 527-58 compact and larger telehandlers when fitted with Compact Tool Carrier, standard Tool Carrier, Q-Fit and Pin & Cone attachment interfaces. The compact machines equipped with either of the Tool Carrier units can also handle the larger version that carries two spiked round bales side-byside or a single rectangular bale up to 1.2m square and 2.5m long.

1979–2021

Chasing the combine, the Pro-Til on the Mzuri trial farm drills OSR and cover crops direct into stubble.

Want resilient soil, better establishment and healthier crops?

Sheltered between rows of standing stubble, OSR thrives in the early growth stages.

There is no denying that conservation crop establishment is here to stay, but British strip tillage drill manufacturer Mzuri suggests the key to a successful system is retaining as much crop residue on the surface as possible. Widely recognised as one of the quickest ways to improve soil structure and fertility, surface residue provides organic matter and nutrients that are broken down by the soil’s living ecosystem and made available for plants. Mzuri reckons that, when considering a conservation drilling system, growers should look for a drill that can deal with high levels of crop residue to capitalise on the benefits of direct drilling. The company advocates chopping straw and spreading it evenly across the field to provide a mulch that offers a multitude of benefits. In dry conditions, a thick layer of surface residue will retain vital moisture needed for quick germination and in wet conditions, fragile soils are protected from harsh rainfall, reducing erosion and compaction. Straw is also best kept on the surface – not only for the cost savings associated with not burying it, but also for its availability to the soil’s organisms, including worms who will draw the residues down into the soil.

Perfect conditions for OSR A straw mulch is the ideal environment to establish crops such as oilseed rape, which Mzuri suggests should be inter-row drilled between rows of cereal stubble for best results. Advising

NEXT GENERATION TINE DRILLS WITH PATENTED SLOT CLOSURE SYSTEM GIVING UNRIVALLED PERFORMANCE IN ALL CONDITIONS

The Triton side-press seed drill stands alone at the cutting edge of versatile crop establishment. For the first time, the farmer is now in control of the drilling programme even in adverse conditions. Patent approve in 2019, the Triton allows crop establishment in all weathers and into all soils, lifting the seeded zone by non-inversion vertical tillage to avoid seed rot and anaerobic seed beds. The Triton places the seed in maximum 6-inch rows with a 6-inch deep rooting, air and drainage slot running directly beneath every seed. Seed is placed on a ‘seed terrace’ in front of the side-press closing blades. The side-press blades then move the field back across onto the seed, securing it from slugs and leaving a clear passage for the seedling to get to the surface. The Triton gives all the advantages of direct drilling but with the added advantages of top soil aeration and drainage, making Triton drills the low compromise option for farmers used to plough based or cultivated establishment systems.

Straw Incorporation

Cultivation tool portfolio covers all bases for Warwickshire farmer

Employing different cultivation tools to help improve soil structure, as well as keeping weeds under control across a variety of soil types, is paying dividends for a Warwickshire arable farmer. David Jones, of Hatton Bank Farm near Stratford-upon-Avon, has tried and tested a plethora of cultivation techniques including the plough, deep, shallow and ultra shallow. “We use appropriate cultivations for each field depending on soil type, weed burden and weather conditions,” he says. “That principle has helped

us to get on top of bad black-grass, improve soil structure and consistently hit yield and quality targets. “The different soils on this farm alone make a ‘one size fits all’ policy impossible. Our cultivation armoury gives me a number of options.” Stubbles from the previous crop are chopped and spread before three

main tillage options are considered. For low disturbance situations, a 12m Vaderstad Carrier with truecut discs and straw rake pulled by a Case IH Quadtrac 530 is employed, followed by the 8m Vaderstad Rapid with Agrilla tines. Compaction is removed using a 7m topdown fitted with truecut

discs plus the 50mm Marathon point, followed by the Carrier and then drill. Where necessary for moisture conservation on the oilseed rape, the topdown plus biodrill, followed by either the Carrier or rolls, is employed. Mr Jones prefers Agrilla tines to the System Disc on the drill, because the tines’ vibrating action levels the soil around the seed and improves seed-to-soil contact. “We don’t have the System Disc on the drill because we have the disc element on the Carrier,” he explains. “The Rapid with Agrilla tines allows us to work deeper on the headlands. It’s more weatherproof too and works well where trash has been incorporated initially.” The topdown is fitted with the 80mm breakmix point and 80mm shin to improve the germination of seeds in the top 10cm of the soil profile, and also for the shattering of firmer soils at chosen depth. The intention is to only use the breakmix point in specific areas of the rotation. Mr Jones explains that it is important to check the soil condition before cultivating. If wet it could lose some of its effectiveness. On his dry soils, it has worked perfectly in the autumn. FG

Providing targeted nutrition when drilling is key to giving your crops the best possible start in life. Take the NEW Amazone Triple-shoot system - it gives you the flexibility to sow your cash crop along with a companion plant and fertiliser - all at three different placement depths and all in a single pass. The beauty of the Cirrus Triple-shoot, multi-hopper concept, is that it can place fertiliser in the row and/or between the rows when sowing, can drill three different seed varieties - either in one row or up to three different rows - and even broadcast on the surface.

Triple-shoot gives you the ability to sow two seed types along with fertiliser at three different placement depths.

Straw Incorporation

Improve establishment processes and gain operational control PFC Agri Solutions offers a full range of cultivation equipment to suit individual requirements, with ploughs, seedbed cultivators, discs and stubble cultivators being the core items. The company has been running demonstrations of the Aries disc and Atom low-disturbance legs recently. The 3m discs in ploughed ground operated at 12cm depth ready for spring beans in North Devon, and proved to be exceptionally effective compared to the customer’s standard spring tine cultivator, PFC reckons. The customer normally does two passes with the spring tines, but was able to complete the preparation in a single pass using the Aries 560mm disc and steel ring packer. This

demonstration led to a sale and the customer has asked PFC to return, in order to demonstrate the Puma heavy duty seedbed cultivator, again with the steel ring packer option, to show the difference between a standard spring tine cultivator and a heavy-duty option specified for UK conditions. The Aries proved capable of both generating a seedbed in ploughed ground and also straight into cereal and bird plot stubbles with a 130hp tractor at 11kph, proving real world results. The bird plot stubbles provided high levels of material to process, and it apparently did this with ease. Built to last at competitive prices, says PFC, the Awemak equipment will improve the crop establishment process and minimise capital cost, with the Aries discs or Puma HD cultivator offering min till and maxi till operators more control of their operation. FG

Strength – Reliabilty – Quality

Straw management is now ‘more important than ever’ Traditionally, straw incorporation has been achieved by mixing soil and straw at a depth of 50–250mm. Direct drill technology allows us to cope with larger quantities of trash on the surface, whilst soil restructuring with minimum surface disturbance conditions the soil without mixing layers, weed seeds or crop residue through the profile. Straw management becomes more important than ever; this begins with the combine chopper. The unique combination of tines and roller in Tillso’s Rake & Roll cultivates the surface, bruising and lacerating trash. Multiple passes allow straw to break down more quickly, creates surface tilth and encourages weed germination. Straw harrow tines can be set to freely vibrate

in the top 10mm of soil, evenly distributing crop residue and creating fine surface tilth. The tine and roller combination are used for seedbed fining and finishing before the drill, as well as for post-drilling consolidation. Running multiple passes before seeding gives the best opportunity to control weeds outside the growing crop and continues to build fine surface tilth. The FT roller runs with a light Cambridge roll weight, locking in moisture and running with a flat contact patch on stubbles, which makes the ideal high output machine to create fast stale seedbeds. The FT roller runs longer in damp conditions. In addition, every time the straw matt is moved and spread, control of slug eggs is increased. FG

Straw Incorporation

Stubble management: Why make it hard work? Remac UK business owner, Howard, shares his views on a range of options for a cheaper, more cost-effective method of getting a good chit this season. Most years, farmers lose a good opportunity to get an orderly stubble clean up, Howard explains. This starts by delaying unnecessary cultivation until they have inspected the stubble to see if it has been chopped well, and whether there are green patches that need spot spraying. Howard advises keeping all residue as close to the surface as possible by applying a light roller or using a topper. “The warmth of the soil after harvest, combined with surface residues keeping this environment humid, are ideal for creating the perfect chit,” he explains. “Alternatively, a good cover crop putting down roots will pull out excess moisture and capture any remaining nutrients. “It is the ideal time to sow a cover crop if late winter cereals or beans are planned, whereby they can drill straight into the cover crop. Or, perhaps drill winter beans with the soil loosener at the same time – one pass saving costs. Some farmers gain

further advantages by grazing covers off with sheep to do the final clear up before spring sowing. This is cheaper and more effective in the long run compared with incorporating. “Soil structure is important, as good drainage encourages crop competition and at the same time discourages black-grass, this being a weed that thrives in marshy conditions.” The benefit of the RemacSystem Soil Loosener is that you can sow a cover crop or winter beans at the same time in one pass, then just follow up with a roll if needed when conditions are right. As a result, your soil will start to benefit from a more aggregated and drier, load-bearing structure. The use of Remac’s STS packer helps to make your soil less likely to slump during the winter. An option is to use the Soil Loosener just on your compacted headlands, if the main parts of the field are in good condition. FG

Managing stubbles with a residue management system

Optimum stubble processing Since 2013, the Guttler Supermaxx modular tined cultivator has proven itself over thousands of hectares, says importer Wox Agri. A range of mounted and trailed machines is available from 5–12m. Multiple combinations of tines and following harrows allow for an extremely versatile machine, Wox adds. The machine is able to be applied in both non-version systems as well as in traditional plough-based systems. Working in chopped straw is not a problem as the machine can be offered in seven rows, as opposed to five rows, giving

excellent clearance within the framework for free passage of straw and residue. The tined unit construction is such that with a reinforced helper, the spring unit is very durable and is able to vibrate and move in the soil to give excellent control in the top profile of the soil. Working speeds from 7–14kph are fully achievable with a 6m machine, requiring at least 125hp. A 12m machine requires 360hp. Work rates of 10ha/hour are also fully achievable. A range of different points are available, from swept points through to tungsten. FG

Headed by farmer and engineer Martin Lole, Razorback draws on over 100 years of combined industry knowledge. On its trial farm in Worcestershire, the company developed its award-winning residue management system, which features a unique mower and harrow combination created specifically for those employing direct drilling techniques, to provide a reliable cultural control method for minimising weed and pest pressure. The system won Gold in the Arable category at the Lamma 2020 Innovation Awards, as well as the Lamma Founders Award for best overall innovation, recognising its benefits to sustainable crop establishment. The judges commended its ability to actively encourage a flush of weeds ahead of drilling and its potential for reducing

reliance on molluscicides as a result of disrupting slug habitats. The mower and harrow combination consolidate two passes into a single operation, saving users time and diesel. Stubbles are chopped and distributed evenly across the full working width whilst the trailed harrow shatters residue to significantly reduce slug habitats, reducing chemical applications. The trailed harrow features five rows of adjustable, extra stiff 28in tines that offer high frequency vibration which enhances the shatter action to accelerate straw decomposition and stimulate weed chit. When following the RT Series rotary mower, stubbles can be topped, distributed and the surface stimulated to promote a flush of weeds and volunteers ahead of autumn drilling in one pass. FG

Disc harrow finds favour for intensive straw incorporation

Gamma Harrow.

Meeting carbon neutral targets by 2040 Farming has set an ambitious target to be carbon neutral by 2040 and to help achieve this goal in an arable enterprise, farmers are going to have to increase the levels of carbon stored in their soil. As organic matter contains carbon, the more organic matter in your soil, the more carbon is stored. Organic carbon is made up of fresh residue, root exudes and microbe biomass. Care needs to be taken in the management of fresh residue, as carbon can be released through the breakdown of soil particles caused by too much tillage – therefore growers will be encouraged to consider no-till. Residue is best left on the surface or mixed with the top few centimetres of soil to aid

decomposition. Bullock Tillage has a range of straw harrows with front mounted disc units that are capable of scratch tillage, enabling slug control and quick volunteer and weed germination without causing excess soil movement. Cover crops will play an important role in carbon sequestration and increasing organic matter in the soil, but timing is often critical in dessicating and destroying the crop to maximise their benefits. Bullock Tillage offers various front and rear mounted cover crop chopping and crimping equipment, which enables rapid crop decomposition and can be used conjunction with a direct drill. FG

The Rubin 10 compact disc harrow has been well received by UK customers for primary cultivation work, Lemken says, especially where intensive straw incorporation has been required on a range of soil types. The discs are arranged to produce symmetrical forces on both implement sides. The three central discs on the Rubin 10 have been offset along the longitudinal axis to ensure that they are able to work collision-free across the full width at a line distance of 12.5cm. The Rubin 10 features surfacehardened DuraMaxx discs with a diameter of 645mm as standard. The new disc leg design with multiple bends provides plenty of clearance to prevent blockages. Each concave disc in the Rubin 10 is now equipped with an overload protection with dampened return to minimise frame loads. The overload protection pockets are welded to the frame to keep

the discs perfectly on track. An impact harrow behind the first row of discs improves the crumbling effect and distributes soil and organic matter in the direction of travel, while the rear impact and levelling harrow distributes the soil to form an even, level surface. All folding versions feature hydraulic depth adjustment as standard. The semi-mounted compact disc harrows are optionally available with depth control wheels, which ensure even working depths in variable soils and precise pass alignment along slopes. The Rubin 10 offers working widths of 2.5–7m and is available with a range of roller options to suit the customer’s requirements. FG

STUBBLE CULTIVATION IN AN ENTIRELY NEW LIGHT WHEN WORKING WITHOUT SIDE DRAFT. RUBIN 10

The Rubin 10 is an excellent choice for any full-width, shallow stubble cultivation. With its new, symmetrical disc arrangement, it provides intense, homogeneous mixing of organic matter and soil – even at high working speeds! Discover its many other benefits for yourself:  High-comfort adjustments of impact and levelling harrows for optimal incorporation and levelling of the soil and regrowth

 Symmetrical disc arrangement for maximum fuel economy and work without side draft

Rugby star and livestock farmer chooses Ifor Williams trailer

Ifor Williams Trailers was recently approached by Dan Lydiate, the Welsh and British and Irish Lions rugby player, who was looking to purchase a livestock trailer. Dan is a proud farmer and very passionate about Welsh farming and Welsh produce. He has a very special herd of beautiful Welsh Black cattle. After trialling a number of

different trailers that he borrowed from friends and neighbours, Dan decided on an Ifor Williams Tri-Axle Livestock Trailer. A key consideration for Dan was ensuring the safety of his herd and making sure that the

trailer was reliable. Dan said that he found the Ifor Williams Trailer gave added stability in-transit for his Welsh Black herd. All Ifor Williams Livestock Trailers feature the Ifor Williams beam axle and leaf spring suspension system, which has been developed and refined for a safe and stable ride. The galvanised steel chassis and drawbar offer unbeatable corrosion protection. Couple this with the high strength, impact-resistant aluminium side panels, and these trailers will often outlast the vehicles that tow them. Ifor Williams Trailers arranged a bespoke, special edition logo for Dan, promoting his herd of Welsh Black cattle – called the Llaithddu Herd, named after the valley where the farm is located. Dan is delighted with his trailer, manufactured in Wales to carry his Welsh Black cattle, and he loves his special edition logo, in honour of his herd. Ifor Williams Trailers was thrilled to be able to build the Ifor Williams Tri-Axle Livestock Trailer for Dan. Equally thrilled was rugby-mad

Richard Sullivan from the sales department, who met Dan when he came to collect his trailer. Among those who met Dan was also Peter Cross, a team leader, who was there when it rolled off the production line. Ifor Williams Trailers is a familyowned business, and celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2018.

Trailers Push-off trailer compacts the workload Hi-Spec Engineering has added the Kompactor trailer to its range. It’s available in four sizes; the K30 (18ft), K33 (20ft), K36 (22ft) and K40 (24ft), plus a demount version is also offered, providing users with increased value and versatility by being able to swap the trailer body with a Hi-Spec vacuum tanker body. The hydraulically-operated headboard is powered by a three-stage hydraulic ram, which increases the load carried by up to 80 per cent compared to a conventional trailer. To empty the Kompactor, having raised the tailgate, the headboard is then fully extended and can

completely empty the trailer in as little as 30 seconds for some loads. Because the load is pushed off, the Kompactor is ideal for use in areas where conventional tipping trailers cannot access. The Kompactor is lighter in weight compared to a conventional trailer, as it doesn’t require lifting rams and the necessary bracing. This results in a lighter trailer which will help to reduce compaction. As standard, all Kompactor models are equipped with commercial running gear, air/hydraulic braking and a hydraulically sprung drawbar, through which all the hydraulic and electric lines are routed, LED lighting and reversing light. Options include a rear-steering axle on the K40 and the availability of a unique hydraulically operated sliding bogie axle. This allows the axle to be moved by up to 600mm, by moving the axle backwards more weight will be placed on the tractor to increase grip. FG

Trailer range aims to make farmers’ work easier Popular agricultural trailer brand Bailey manufactures a comprehensive range of trailers, which are backed up by a dealer network stretching from Lands End to Orkney. The Lincolnshire-based company’s aim is straightforward – to make farmers’ and contractors’ work easier by supplying robust, reliable trailers that keep going whatever the load, terrain or conditions. Bailey Silage Kits are designed for farm and contracting businesses that require the flexibility to haul grass and other materials, without increasing the trailer fleet. Silage Kits will fit onto Bailey’s TB, Root and Beeteaper models. The company has listened to farmers – fitting is straightforward and bevelled edges eliminate the issue of materials gathering

on the structure. But for those looking to make things easier still, Bailey offers Quick Release Silage Kits. Converting from grass to grain couldn’t be simpler and is completed in a matter of minutes with the aid of a forklift, Bailey says. Bailey has also recently upgraded its Agricultural Dumper range, in line with previous developments to its TB trailers. Agricultural Dumpers now feature full mudguards and tapered pillars. Agricultural Dumpers feature a heavy-duty RHS bottom chassis mounted on a heavy-duty tandem spring unit. This provides additional strength and durability. An impressive tipping angle of 88 degrees is achieved via twin extralong reach three-stage hydraulic cylinders. For more information speak to your local Bailey dealer. FG

New camera system ‘an essential safety aid’ Transport-related injuries, including overturning vehicles or being struck by moving vehicles, were responsible for more farm-related deaths than any other cause in 2019, according to the latest data from the Health and Safety Executive. With this in mind, Trailer Vision has launched a brand-new camera system, the Digi-Max3, which it describes as the ‘new essential safety aid in farming’. Digi-Max3 is a significantly improved version of the original, highly popular Digi-Max system. The third-generation digital wireless (DW) camera/reversing camera system, features the very latest technology, with improved resolution (AHD) and semi-automatic pairing (from the monitor only). Trailer Vision says the system includes everything you will need to operate a wireless camera/reversing camera system with a tractor/trailer or any selfpropelled machinery. Being DW, the system can be used at the same time as Bluetooth

devices, or wireless networks, interference-free. Improving on Trailer Vision’s previous agricultural camera system offering Agri-Vue (which could be utilised with up to two cameras), the Digi-Max3’s colour LCD monitor can be used with up to four cameras, including a reversing camera. Cameras include IR/night vision and a microphone. The monitor can also show the images from multiple cameras at the same time (split screen/ quad view etc), as well as manual camera selection. Benefits include no video cable between the camera and monitor (200m range), superior image quality (AHD), and a battery pack and mag mounts are also available for complete flexibility. FG

Trailers Weighing up the benefits: Trailer weighing technology According to Neil Wood, business development manager at Topcon Technology Ltd, the ever-growing need for farmers to produce more with less is leading to waves of change across the agricultural sector. Technology is one aspect helping farmers across the UK and beyond to realise better efficiency and productivity, with a variety of solutions designed to improve machinery capabilities, crop management and herd health. One area of innovation is in weighing technology, allowing farmers to weigh accurately and quickly and to better manage and analyse that data.

Weighing solutions are not new, but they’re constantly evolving to address the most pressing challenges on a vital industry. There are many options in the market for farmers to consider to effectively and precisely manage check-weighing of incoming and outgoing goods. Take the Topcon TT Weigh for example– this has now advanced to the TT Weigh+ allowing users to manage up to five different trailers with one solution, providing a fast and easy-to-use indication of trailer weight no matter the weather and with no modifications needed for the machine. While innovations in agricultural

technology can seem daunting, these solutions can drastically improve the way we work. Not only can we develop better working practices for increased productivity, but we can also manage our vehicle “wear and tear”, minimising overloading and

therefore our environmental impact, much more efficiently. The future of agriculture is most certainly one embracing the opportunities provided by advanced precision technology to enable us to grow without limits. FG

Farm Diversification

Farm diversification without the hassle Farmers Guide spoke to Pitchup.com founder Dan Yates about the “massive opportunities” presented by the staycation boom, and hassle-free ways to capitalise on this trend. With radical changes to farm support payments on the way, and the starting pistol fired on the race to net zero, British farming is set to change at an unprecedented rate, but the pace of that change may leave some farmers feeling uncertain about their future. It’s little wonder then that rural property experts, Savills, predict a growth in farm diversification projects during 2021, as farmers and landowners seek to find new, less complicated ways of making money. And with 65 per cent of UK farms already having some kind of diversification activity, the appetite to embrace new land uses is clearly growing.

The rise of staycations One major trend farmers and landowners can take advantage of is the much-heralded growth in staycations. Although the shift towards holidaying in the UK started some years before Covid-19, the pandemic exacerbated the public’s desire to abandon the annual fortnight in Spain in favour of something closer to home. In fact, UK camping bookings have risen six-fold in the wake of the pandemic and show no sign of abating. Dan Yates, founder of Pitchup.com – Europe’s largest outdoor accommodation provider – described staycations as a “massive opportunity” for farmers and landowners.

Figures recently produced by the company – revealed by surveying farm and land-based businesses that use its online booking platform – found that they can earn up to £7,000 per day by running a campsite, with even modest temporary sites pulling in five-figure sums in additional income each year. Mr Yates said: “Campsites, especially temporary ones, are the quickest, easiest and least disruptive form of diversification open to farmers and landowners. They require very little work or money to set up – just some portable toilets and a tap at their most basic – they are very easy to manage and rarely disrupt day-to-day farm operations. “The great thing about them is, if you just want to set a temporary site up to attract holidaymakers in the summer, you can do that without planning permission. Many farms make tens of thousands of pounds each year doing this, without ever having to go through the planning process.” Currently, regulations allow a temporary campsite to be operated in England without planning permission for up to 56 days – an extension from 28 days which was introduced by the government in June last year to aid a post-Covid rural revival. This was initially set to last until the end of 2020, but was extended to December 31st, 2021, as the world was still gripped by the pandemic. Although not officially updating their regulations, the devolved UK nations are allowing temporary structures to be erected for longer than

500 ISSUE

1979–2021

the 28 days where it is helpful to businesses. According to Mr Yates, the regulatory changes prompted a significant number of farmers to dip their toe into camping, with more than 200 new sites going live on Pitchup.com last year. Average takings from these campsites were in excess of £13,000, although some made well over £50,000. He added: “Of course, some people find they enjoy offering camping and meeting new people and apply for planning permission for a permanent campsite or caravan park. Many of these businesses generate hundreds of thousands of pounds each year while still operating as a working farm.”

Listing your campsite Listing a campsite on Pitchup.com is quick, easy and the most effective way to secure bookings, meaning owners don’t have to spend time promoting their site, Mr Yates explained. Often, as camping in UK beauty spots is seeing unprecedented demand, campsites fill up quickly, but limits can be set on the number of bookings taken to ensure first time operators are not overwhelmed. Pitchup.com can also take payments, making the entire operation efficient and easy to manage and leaving farmers free to continue doing what they do best – farm – while the campsite generates extra income. Dan Yates added that the multi-award-winning Pitchup.com was designed around the needs of caravan and campsite owners, making it as easy as possible to attract guests and manage their stay. He said: “The vast majority of those who try it continue doing it. The extra income it generates combined with how easy it is to do makes it a very attractive form of diversification.” For more information on setting up a temporary campsite, visit: www.pitchup.com/howstart-campsite-caravan-park/ or contact Pitchup.com directly.

Farm Diversification

Simple waste solutions for glamping sites Glampsan general manager Jon Trelfa shared his advice on toilet and waste management options for diversified farms wanting to offer camping facilities. As we recover from the Covid-19 era, there is surely no better time to start or expand your ‘staycation’ business. While booking an overseas holiday may not be the wisest of decisions right now, as UK lockdown measures ease, the glamping industry is buoyant, enticing and expanding. There is a pent-up demand to get away from it all, to enjoy all the physical and mental health benefits of being outdoors, denied us for so long.

For landowners and glamping businesses, diversifying into glamping is all about putting your guests first, now more so than ever. After all, when guests are spending their hard-earned cash with you, they want to relax and enjoy the outdoor life, and spend time with family and friends in a safe ‘offgrid’ environment. A happy guest will be a returning guest and where people are staying, there will always be a need to provide

toilets and washing facilities. So, whatever washing and toilet solutions you provide for your guests, there will be an implication in how you capture and control the waste. Glampsan offers an ‘evolution’ of toilet and waste handling solutions. At one end of the spectrum, it provides composting, separating and low volume flush toilets, which tick plenty of green credential boxes by reducing water consumption, the company

says. Towards the middle of the range, you may need waste collection tanks – above or below ground – to capture grey and black water for later removal by a waste collection company. Collection tanks are particularly suitable if you have supplied water for flushing toilets, washing facilities and showers, but you can’t access a mains sewer for the waste, Jon says. If you want to avoid storing waste in a collection tank, you might need a sewage lifting station or waste pump from Glampsan’s range, to move waste across your site – perhaps to an existing septic tank. At the top end of the range is a sewage treatment plant/septic tank. Glampsan is a market-leading supplier of a host of solutions, backed up by its passion for customer service. Visit www.glampsan.com or contact the company directly for more information on the range. FG

Using wind power for off-grid glamping With Covid-19 prompting a rise in the number of people taking British holidays, more farmers may be looking to set up glamping sites. Wind turbine manufacturer FuturEnergy is seeing many farmers diversifying into wind power, predominantly to generate heating and lighting for such off-grid sites. The company launched the first remote-controlled micro wind turbine, AirForce Control, so that farmers no longer have to manually switch off the turbine during high

wind speeds. It comes with a Davis Anemometer, which monitors wind speeds and is pre-programmed to shut down when they reach a certain speed. When battery parameters are met, or other controlled parameters are exceeded, the turbine is automatically stopped and restarted when conditions return within operational limits, or when battery levels are running low. It can be monitored and controlled through a PC, tablet

or smartphone, offering access to a web-based portal that shows how much power the turbine is producing and how much it has produced historically. A free Apple and Android app is also available for the 1kW AirForce Controller, allowing all aspects of the turbine to be monitored from any location with a live data stream. FuturEnergy also offers a water or space heating micro wind turbine package, which is the first of its kind as it focuses directly on producing

heat either connected to a water tank immersion heater or an electric heating radiator. FG

What landowners should consider when developers approach •

•

the development agreement is extended. Who will pay for all planning costs? The costs of obtaining planning permission are high. However, developers will agree to pay such costs and the landowner’s agent and legal fees in preparing the agreement. Maximising land values. Make sure the developer is obliged to obtain planning permission that maximises the residential value. If not, they could obtain permission for say 50 houses on a 10-acre site, buy it from the landowner and then re-apply for many more houses. This is why minimum housing densities or land values are often used. Overage and clawback? These clauses ensure the landowner benefits even after they have sold the land from, for example, future price rises, improvements in subsequent permissions or valuable changes of use. At what value will the land be sold? If an option agreement, the usual point at which a developer will buy is the grant of planning permission, discounting the value by a percentage to give the

•

So does it matter if it’s an option or promotion agreement? Yes, probably. Land sold via an option cannot be exposed to competitive bids from rival developers, hence values can be lower. Promotion agreements do allow open market exposure when the land is sold and give reassurance that the best price has been secured. If your land has development potential or you have been approached by a developer, you can contact Hawkspur directly for an impartial opinion. FG

developer a profit and leaving the landowner between 80–90 per cent of the agreed value. With promotion agreements, the consented land is sold on the open market and the promoter will retain a percentage of the net proceeds, typically giving the landowner between 80-90 per cent of proceeds. This has the significant benefit to the landowner of aligning the promoter’s interests with theirs, namely to maximise the price which will be shared.

Developers’ appetite to find land appears undiminished, according to Nick Harper, managing director of chartered surveyors Hawkspur. This means they are competing against each other to secure interests in sites – especially where the local council has no up to date Local Plan or fiveyear supply. Typically, developers offer landowners a development agreement, usually an Option or Promotion Agreement. Landowners should carefully consider the following: • How long is the agreement? Three, seven, 15 years? There is no set term. If for a long period, make sure the agreement obliges the developer to obtain planning permission, otherwise they may ‘sit’ on land and develop others in the meantime. • Is there an upfront payment? Developers will offer an upfront fee or premium to landowners which the landowner will keep unless planning permission is obtained. There should also be a further fee/premium if

Farm Diversification

Diversity and innovation ‘the new lifeblood’ for UK farmers After an unpredictable 12 months, British farmers are sure of just one thing: UK agriculture will never be the same again. Matthew Smart, founder of UK asset finance lender Rural Asset Finance, highlights the future opportunities for farmers. The pandemic decimated supply chains and prompted panic buying, while Brexit ended CAP payments as we know it, forcing farmers into alternative ways to generate future revenue and ensure a sustainable business beyond the next year. But it has brought great opportunity too. Farmers’ determination and adaptability to keep feeding the nation has made

them more valued by the public. Consumers discovered the quality, freshness, and the joy of shopping local, buying directly from farms. Now is a great chance to build on this. We can do this by supporting our ‘just in time’ culture with some ‘just in case’ planning and risk management that protects and sustains our critical food and energy supply chains. With single farm payments disappearing, we must explore alternative revenue streams to keep agricultural

businesses relevant and thriving, and further public engagement must be part of this. Covid-19 has shown we’re ‘all in this together’ and farmers have an open door to engage with the public and directly reap the rewards of pent-up consumer spending. Britain’s farmers are supremely talented at reacting to changing conditions, and thousands are exploring diversification and innovation to secure their future. From farm shops to storage facilities, dog

kennels to DIY livery yards, caravan parks and everything in between, farmers know how to adapt and Rural Asset Finance arranged numerous farm-based projects funded under the CBILS scheme during 2020. Now, from April, new corporate tax incentives and allowances are accessible to innovate and drive efficiencies through capital purchases. The Chancellor’s ‘super deduction’, an unprecedented 130 per cent tax relief on capital investment, gives farmers an unmissable opportunity to fund innovative projects, with 24.7p in every £1 spent directly cutting their tax bill. Hire Purchase and Secured Loans are the ideal way to gain these immediate benefits without committing large cash outlays, which need to be retained to run the day-today business. The end of the single farm payment doesn’t end opportunities to invest in innovation or diversification. Quite the reverse, with careful tax planning and use of the correct finance products. Farm-based project diversity and innovation are the new lifeblood of UK agriculture. Non-bank lenders can finance your new projects by helping you construct, interrogate, then lend against future earnings. Contact Rural Asset Finance directly for more information on funding. FG

SUPPLYING PORTABLE, HIGH-END HOLIDAY LETS TO THE FARMING & LANDOWNER COMMUNITY ACROSS THE UK

Diversifying your farm buildings Forestry buildings are a Permitted Developed planning opportunity that is often overlooked, according Mark Allen of Johnstruct Ltd, provider of steel frame buildings and refurbishment projects based in Hertfordshire and Essex. Equally, with various restrictions regarding the use of certain pesticides, arable farms are looking at non-traditional crops with a need to store a wider variety, albeit in smaller volumes. Vineyards are noticeably becoming more popular, as are more leisure/activity-based enterprises. Planning legislation does make an allowance (even within green belt) for this, alongside agricultural use. The most overlooked and quickest diversification turnaround is refurbishing an existing agri-building. Established buildings (subject to planning and often refurbishment)

create greater diversification opportunities via Change of Use. Unfortunately, the number of Class Q, Change of Use (from agriculture to a dwelling) applications observed amongst the various planning authorities could be having a severe impact on any diversification assessment. This is reflected in the observed low approval rates. Class Q is often implemented without the knowledge that for the next 10 years you would not be able to use any agricultural PD planning allowance on the agricultural unit. For the smaller/older agribuildings, we’d normally recommend trying a diversification strategy first, prior to applying for any change of use to a dwelling. This approach may lead to an increased likelihood of an approval. For free advice, contact Johnstuct Ltd directly. FG

Cabin company seeks partners ahead of staycation boom

With more farmers looking to diversify and capitalise on the staycation trend, sustainable cabin company The Box BnB, is working with UK farmers to support their diversification strategies and provide holidaymakers with a unique experience. The Box BnB converts shipping containers into high-end holiday lets, working with farmers and landowners throughout the UK who are passionate about year-round rural tourism, in support of their diversification strategies. The team is looking for more sites to grow the business in 2021 and 2022, when a boom in UK internal tourism is anticipated.

Cabins are made from 40ft shipping containers and can sleep up to four people. There is a master bedroom, bathroom (with shower and flushing toilet), fully-equipped kitchen and lounge area with a double sofa bed. The cabins are fitted with a log burner for the winter months and benefit from triple-glazed windows (and fully opening doors) across 70

Diversification and Capital Tax reliefs Graham Page, agricultural partner at Ensors Chartered Accountants, explains how the March 2021 Budget could affect farmers. It remains important for farming businesses to keep a watchful eye on the availability of ‘Capital Tax’ reliefs in relation to diversified enterprises. Changes to Capital Gains Tax and Inheritance Tax could have significant impacts on the ability to freely pass wealth to the next generation, as well as the ability to reinvest from the sale of properties into either buildings or greater areas of land. It is generally accepted that diversified enterprises involving a trade (e.g. buying or selling) or some form of activity (e.g. a leisure or tourism activity) can take greater advantage of the currently available Capital Tax reliefs.

Enterprises that are more akin to passive investment, such as residential and commercial building lets, and to a certain extent holiday lets, are more likely to create some tax planning obstacles. It is therefore important that advice is taken before farmers consider and commit to any venture that involves a diversification away from the core farming business. Early thought should be given to which generation of the family will run the diversified business and whether property should be passed between generations to facilitate the business operation. The availability of Capital Tax reliefs to allow this will have a significant bearing on whether the desired objectives can be met. FG

per cent of the front of the cabin. This design maximises views of the countryside and helps to regulate the temperature throughout the year. Box BnB supplies fully-furnished cabins to the site and handles the marketing and booking of the cabins on the farmer’s behalf. It hopes its partners can support the day-to-day activities of running a holiday let business, dealing with any on-site issues and cleaning between guests. For this partnership, Box BnB works on a profit share percentage split, which is agreed from the outset. The business is centred around three types of customer: • Traditional stay-cationers seeking beautiful, picturesque and quiet sites in which to relax • Active-resters seeking activities on or near the site such as hiking, trail running or cycling • Work-from-anywhere, escape the city types. With the increase in home working, Box BnB sees huge opportunity in this area, particularly benefitting from increased demand during the week. The company is ideally looking to install several cabins on each site,

with an emphasis on privacy, so customers can enjoy a peaceful break in a secluded setting. The cabins may require planning permission, such as a change of land use. Box BnB works with farmers to understand the requirements of each site and engages a planning consultant where needed.

Farmers Guide: 500 500 issues, and still counting…

Henry Brown takes a fond look back over the last 42 years, from the first issue of Farmers Guide to the 500th edition this month.

Copies of the first ever East Anglian Farmers Guide were delivered to farms throughout Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire in September 1979. The magazine, edited by Doug Potts, assisted by his wife Florence, Joan Goldsmith and John Gediking, included articles on agrochemicals, winter wheat varieties, direct drilling and results from the Tractors at Work event at Long Sutton, together with a list of forthcoming East Anglian farming demonstrations. A special feature on Suffolk Farm Machinery Club’s annual Power in Action demonstration included details of the latest in pick-up balers and bale handling equipment and a dozen or so 70–100hp tractors with reversible ploughs. Prices made for interesting reading. A 92hp Steyr was £16,349, a 9hp Ford 7600 cost £13,422, the 96hp International 955 was £11,420 and a 90hp Belarus 820 (listed as complete) cost £8,200. The East Anglian Farmers Guide cost 30p to non-farming readers when the Yellow Pages Farm Ads appeared for the first time in July 1980. By December 1982, circulation covered an area from Middlesex to Lincolnshire. The Farmers Guide celebrated its 100th issue in December 1987, when regular contributors included Tony Clark, Jonathan Duggan, Ernest Cozens and John Hodge, who looked back over the first 100 magazines. He recalled that farmers enjoyed a record grain harvest in 1982 and 1984 saw the introduction of a tough new straw burning code. The Doe Show celebrated its Silver anniversary in 1985 and heavy rain in July turned the Royal Norfolk showground into a mud bath. By now, there were seven members of staff at the magazine’s Orford Street office in Ipswich including Doug and Florence Potts, their daughters Jane and Julie, and Janet Watts. News for the month included the appointment of Suffolk Agri-Centre and R.S. Bennett as MB Trac dealers in East Anglia. and Fendt launched a new 115hp tractor at the Smithfield Show.

With an ever-increasing circulation area, East Anglian was dropped from the Farmers Guide front cover in August 1991, and the September editorial page welcomed Yorkshire farmers to the readership. The Farmers Guide office moved to Parkside in January 1996, and the 200th issue of the magazine appeared in April of that year. In June 1998, Farmers Guide presented a silver trophy at the Royal Norfolk Show commemorating the life of Ernest Cozens who, after retiring from Ben Burgess Tractors, wrote a monthly column for nearly 10 years. In December 1997, the magazine noted that Ransomes, founded in Ipswich in 1789, had been sold to an American company. On other pages, Graham Henderson gossiped about grain and fertiliser, Ava Barrell continued her diary of a dairy farmer, and Duncan Russell’s Rambles reviewed the recent National Ploughing championships. Doug Potts and his daughter Jane became joint editors of the Farmers Guide in December 2000. That month, an obituary for Ben Burgess MBE, who died in November aged 98, recalled that while running the 500-acre family farm, he started a farm machinery business in 1931 which grew to become one of the largest tractor dealerships in the county. The September 2003 issue included previews of Suffolk Farm Machinery Club’s 25th Power in Action demonstration and Tillage events in Oxfordshire and Yorkshire. Offering a lighter note, Duncan Russell’s Ramblings page included some odd statistics. For example, “Three Brits died each year testing 9V batteries with their tongues” and in 1999 “142 Brits were injured by not removing all the pins from a new shirt”. Farmers Guide no.300 was published in July 2004. Features included a review of the Cereals 2004 event, combined with Sprays & Sprayers which was held in Lincolnshire, the launch of a new range of McCormick ZTX tractors and a pictorial report of Princess Anne’s visit to the Suffolk Show. The Farmers Guide celebrated 25 years in September 2004, when

ISSUE 1979–2021

four more counties were added to the mailing list. Doug Potts, along with daughter Jane, continued to edit the magazine, and daughter Julie was in charge of production. Topics for the month included previews of the forthcoming Tillage, Normac and Dairy events. The Claas Xerion tractor was making its debut at Tillage, a new Sulky pneumatic precision grain drill was among new equipment at Normac and Lely was showing a new self-propelled diet feeder at the Dairy event at Stoneleigh. Changes in editorial staff were detailed in the April 2005 magazine when Jane became the sole editor, Julie continued as production manager and Doug, now designated managing editor, wrote a monthly Points to Ponder column, at the end of which he introduced the ‘And finally...’ joke – a fantastically popular tradition which the magazine has continued in his memory, and which can now be found at the end of Out & About. In the April 2006 issue, Doug penned a poignant report on the passing of his wife Florence Potts, much beloved by the entire Farmers Guide team. The Farmers Guide celebrated its 30th anniversary year in 2009. Items in the January issue included two free-to-enter Christmas competitions, Doug Potts becoming president of Suffolk Farm Machinery Club, and the launch of a Holmer selfpropelled sugar beet cleaner loader with a price tag in the region of £254,000. In February, the magazine gave details of the British Shire Horse Society spring show at Peterborough. More than 200 Shires in their full glory were expected, together with a large farriery competition and a display of vintage tractors and machinery. The June issue reminded readers that Harry Ferguson insisted that all production tractors bearing his name would be grey. However, a Suffolk vintage tractor enthusiast restored a grey Fergie, painted it pink and set off with it on a tour of Scotland to raise funds for ClikSargent – a charity supporting childrens’ cancer. Still on the charity theme, in September of that year, Ireland’s Combines4Charity group smashed the record for the most combines working in one field with 175 combines harvesting a 100-acre field in 11 minutes and raising £185,000 for cancer charities. In the September issue, there were reviews of the Royal Welsh Show and the 60th year of the British National Ploughing Championships,

undertaken by David Williams after he joined the Farmers Guide team as machinery editor in August. Doug Potts’ ponderings in December included the outlawing of battery hen cages – all very well, but would the government stop the import of battery cage eggs from Europe? Dominic Kilburn became arable editor in May 2012. The 400th issue of the Farmers Guide was published in December, after an autumn when potato growers endured both drought and torrential rain, high disease rates and low yields. Doug Potts ceased his ponderings and became chairman in January 2013, when the magazine included a bound-in 100-page supplement on the Lamma show. The biggest-ever Farmers Guide, totalling 242 pages including 116 pages on Lamma, appeared in January 2014. Sad news in May recorded the passing of Doug Potts who, after being the agricultural editor for two East Anglian newspapers, founded the Farmers Guide as a family business in September 1979. In May 2019, after 40 years with Farmers Guide, editor Jane Potts announced her retirement. Julie continued at the helm as finance and production director of the company, assisted by her son Greg Goulding as sales manager. In the July Out & About column, the machinery and arable editors, David and Dominic, recorded the sad death of Graham Henderson, who had ‘Puttered’ on about grain and fertiliser in the Farmers Guide for 28 years. A new editor, Rachel Hicks, and production editor Sarah Kidby (now livestock editor) joined the Farmers Guide staff in October 2019. A preview of the 60th year of the Doe Show, together with a 98-page Lamma show supplement, appeared in January 2020, and arable editor Dominic Kilburn retired in March. By April, the Covid-19 pandemic had resulted in the cancellation of farm machinery shows and public demonstrations, but undeterred the July magazine reported online versions of Cereals and a Cheffins farm machinery auction. Still in lockdown, a 90-page AgriShowcase in-mag supplement dealing with all aspects of tractors and machinery appeared in the 270-page January 2021 Farmers Guide. Now in April 2021, as the Farmers Guide celebrates its 500th issue, we wait in long anticipation for the 1,000th issue to appear in 2063. FG

Celebrating 500 articles in 500 issues Author Brian Bell, also known as Henry Brown and John Hodge, has written for every single issue of Farmers Guide, dating back to its launch 500 issues ago in 1979. We spoke to Brian about his long association with the magazine. Growing up on his father’s farm in Norfolk, Brian says farming was in his blood, but the farm wasn’t big enough for two and he chose to be an apprentice at a machinery dealer when he left school. Later, after gaining a National Diploma in Agricultural Engineering at Writtle, he became a lecturer in farm machinery in 1958. One of only two agricultural educators in East Suffolk, he went on to teach at Otley College when it opened in 1970. After retiring as vice principal in 1983, he was awarded an MBE for services to agriculture. Having begun his writing career in 1963, Brian had met Farmers Guide founder Doug Potts when he wrote for the East Anglian Daily Times, during Doug’s editorship. When Doug first had the idea to create a farm machinery magazine, he discussed it with Brian and Farmers Guide was officially launched in 1979. Brian comments: “I have seen the Farmers Guide grow from a 46-page magazine with articles on crops and farm machinery, to a full colour publication of over 200 pages, dealing with every facet of agriculture.” Initially writing articles for farm machinery news, Brian says his first feature in Farmers Guide was a review of that year’s Power in Action, organised by the Suffolk Farm Machinery Club, of

which he was secretary for 60 years. Since then, he has gone on to write the popular vintage machinery feature ‘Farmers Guide 25 Years Ago’, which he continues to write today under the pseudonym ‘Henry Brown’ – which is a combination of prominent manufacturers Henry Ford and David Brown. Having taught farm machinery for over 35 years and with a special interest in vintage machinery, he says the monthly column was an obvious choice. While farm machinery has changed dramatically since his early career, he says there remains a great deal of interest in old tractors – in a normal, non-Covid year, there would be rallies and events every weekend somewhere in the country. Brian’s Farm Machinery book, first published in 1963 as part of the Cassell book series, has become a standard student textbook and is now in its sixth edition with Old Pond Publishing – together with eight other hardback titles, including the Tractor Ploughing Manual and a history of Ransomes of Ipswich, as well as more than a dozen DVDs, mainly on vintage tractors and machinery. You can read Brian’s (or should we say Henry’s) latest column on page 149. FG April 2021 www.farmersguide.co.uk 145

FARMERS GUIDE 25 YEARS AGO In this, the 500th issue of the Farmers Guide, it is quite a coincidence that the Farmers Guide in April 1996 happened to be the 200th issue of the magazine. In that month, Ernest Cozens noted in his Out & About column that the Austrian tractor maker Steyr was setting up dealerships in the UK and that the new high spec Steyr 9100 range would be available in the 68–320hp bracket. Another regular contributor, Tony Clark, asked: “Is there a place for the internet on the farm?” enquiring “what is it” and “will it benefit the farm business”. I think we know the answer! On a similar theme, he recalled the visit of a 90-year-old who was farming his land in the

1920s/30s. He noticed that the old kitchen had been converted into the farm office and asked why Tony needed an office as he managed his affairs with three books – a cheque book, a receipt book and a paying-in book – plus an old fag packet to note things down. Farm Machinery News in the April 1996 Farmers Guide shared that Vogel & Noot had extended its range of slatted mouldboard ploughs and the latest Quicke front end loader had a £2,677 price tag. Lynx Engineering introduced a new packer roll with semipneumatic tyres to go on the back of power harrows, and Dowdeswell Engineering had added some heavyweight models to its range of disc harrows. A spare parts and suppliers feature reported that Spaldings was launching a new range of chain saws and hedge trimmers, heavy duty pressure washers and a cordless hammer drill. Potato growers were asked to vote on

a proposal for a new Great British Potato Organisation (GBPO) to succeed the Potato Marketing Board (PMB) and how to use the PMB’s £5.2million asset funds. On potato machinery, Parker Weighing Systems introduced a range of potato box weighers, AMAC potato harvesters had a new axial cleaning system with 18 rollers and Lynx Engineering advertised a front-mounted potato topper. The vintage section in the Yellow Pages had plenty of bargains. A Lincolnshire advertiser wanted £400 for his black 1952 Morris Minor car with a split screen, a red leather interior and some unused petrol coupons. A Lister stationary engine for restoration was for sale in Hertfordshire for £75 and a Cambridgeshire farmer wanted £350 for each of his two grey and gold Ferguson 35 tractors. Pawnee Aviation at Peterborough advertised the ultimate in low ground pressure spraying and top dressing with a light aeroplane. FG

MASSEY FERGUSON SUPER 90 Most Massey Ferguson tractors on British farms were made at Banner Lane in Coventry in the 1960s and 1970s. Exceptions included the MF 130 and the MF Super 90. The 30hp French-built MF 130 Economy model, launched at the 1964 Royal Smithfield Show, had a Perkins four-cylinder indirect injection diesel engine, an eight forward and two reverse gearbox and a mechanical linkage lock on the hydraulic system to hold implements in the raised position for transport. The deluxe model had a dual clutch and a mid-power take-off shaft. The 130 was not very popular in the UK and was discontinued in 1972. The two-wheel drive MF Super 90, with a 77hp Perkins diesel engine, produced 68hp at

the power take-off and 59hp at the drawbar. It was manufactured in America from 1961– 1965 and had a price tag of £1,980 when it was first introduced to British farmers at Earls Court in 1962. The specification included an eight forward and two reverse gearbox, power steering, dry disc brakes, power adjusted rear wheels and a 28-gallon fuel tank. The tractor had a lower link hydraulic draft control system with a double acting assistor spring. The pump, located in the gearbox, used the transmission oil which was cooled by a radiator at the front of the engine. The Super 90, described as a row crop tractor, was also made with a fourcylinder TVO engine. FG

The Massey Ferguson Super 90 tractor was made in America between 1961–1965.

Mike Bywater joins Ktwo team Ktwo has appointed Mike Bywater as its UK southern regional territory sales manager. Mike comes from a farming family and has a wealth of experience in working with both agricultural dealerships and manufacturers. Mike spent seven years with a tractor manufacturer, initially as its UK product manager for agriculture before becoming European sales training development manager and then the head of its UK group training.

Mike has strong knowledge in all areas of agricultural sales and vast experience in implementing training activities for dealer networks for sales, service, and parts for all business areas. He will work alongside Ktwo managing director Robbie Polson, and UK northern territory sales manager James Henderson. You can contact Mike on mike. bywater@ktwo.co.uk
