Out & About With Farmers Guide editor Rachel Hicks and the team Members of the Farmers Guide team were invited to a factory tour by New Holland in late March. Pictured (l-r) are: New Holland's pedestal line team leader Matthew Pipe and methane tractor supervisor Graham Spence; Farmers Guide editor Rachel Hicks, machinery editor David Williams, sales manager Chloe Horsfield, senior sales executive Jo Blower, and directors Greg Goulding and Julie Goulding; and New Holland's UK & ROI cluster/field tractor specialist David Redman and plant support Florence Rivoal.

Pictured in front of a newly completed New Holland tractor (l-r) are the company’s Graham Spence, Florence Rivoal and David Redman.

David Redman (centre) chatted with the Farmers Guide team before giving a presentation about the history of New Holland, and the future plans the company has – in particular, its latest methane tractor offerings.

The team experienced first-hand the extremely complex production process which takes place within New Holland’s impressive Basildon factory. It was surprising to see how much of the assembly is still undertaken by people, rather than using robotic automation – which New Holland explained is due to the almost bespoke nature of its tractors, with no two being the same as a result of the detailed specifications.

And finally…

Machinery editor David Williams and director Greg Goulding visited Tamar Nurseries in Wisbech this month, to see the new JCB electric Loadall, supplied by Pecks, in action. (l-r) Pecks area sales manager Matt Buddle with main operator Jake Fowler.

A farmer bought himself a brand-new tractor, but started to get annoyed when his chickens kept sitting on it and pecking the hood. After several weeks, they had damaged the paintwork so badly that he decided he had to find a solution and spoke to his local dealer about the problem. They offered him a special spray, which would coat the tractor in a rock-hard finish that would prevent the chickens from damaging it. The farmer told them to go ahead, then once it was dry, he placed a chicken on the hood, and to his delight the chicken’s beak caused no damage whatsoever. The dealer asked the farmer for a review of the spray paint product, explaining in his own words how he found it. The farmer simply said: “Impeccable.”

Grain & Fertiliser Advice

The cereals and oilseeds market is full of questions, with few definitive answers – but don’t just put your head in the sand diesel and energy may look like, but unless you have hedged your risk forward, most farmers will be in a similar cost situation from now on. Markets will move, but remember they move in both directions. Ultimately, we are largely trading a world-priced commodity, and the world needs its basics – i.e. cereals and oilseeds – or people go hungry; and no government around the world should ever stand back and let that happen.

The war in Ukraine has added yet more uncertainty to the worldwide commodity market, with energy prices hiking costs even further. Farmers need to take responsibility, as well as a good hard look at expected gross margin returns.

CF Fertilisers continues to produce UK N from its Billingham plant, offering tonnage on an allocation basis, and in mid-March there was no news on restarting the plant at Ince. Supply volumes from Europe remain uncertain, with cutbacks due to significant rises in production costs. Higher prices are being achieved in Europe over the UK, making this a more attractive market to sell into and resulting in forward vessels being difficult to secure. Yara has also announced it will curtail production at its plants in France and Italy, operating at just 45% capacity. This season there has been an increased volume of Russian AN in the UK due to already tight supplies on offer. Although Russia did place a temporary export ban on AN at the beginning of February for two months, this situation has now worsened and further tightened supplies into the UK. As new offers of UK N emerged in early March, offers of imported AN were few and far between as blenders were holding on to product to service the NPK market. This resulted in a surge in urea sales for both spot and forward use. FG

News in brief Assistance to optimise spring grassweed application This season, each Axial Pro product box now comes with a QR code for operators to quickly scan and download the Syngenta Spray Assist App. The code gives growers and agronomists free access to Syngenta’s Protector digital platform and agronomic management tool for a full crop year. Syngenta Spray Assist provides a tool to enhance spring grass weed control, as well as ensuring optimum application techniques for

other timings and crops throughout the season. Syngenta New Farming Technologies application specialist, Harry Fordham (pictured), commented: “Early applications while weeds and crop are still small, that are the priority to prevent grassweed competition and minimise viable seed return, are best delivered with angled nozzles, producing a medium droplet spectrum at 100-litres/ha.

“However, as the crop extends above the weeds, a switch to a more vertical nozzle producing a larger droplet spectrum can achieve better penetration through the canopy to reach weed leaves. “Spray Assist will give the best combination of the operator’s available nozzles and sprayer settings to achieve optimum results in the conditions.”

UK agricultural tractor registrations – February 2022 The number of agricultural tractors registered in February 2022 was again slightly lower than in the same month last year, as supply chain disruptions continue to delay the delivery of machines to end customers. At 571 units, 4% fewer tractors were registered during the month than in February 2021, but this year’s number was marginally above the average for the time of year in the previous five years.

After a sharper fall in the opening month of 2022, registrations for the year to date were 9% down on the first two months of 2021. The opening two months are always a quiet time of year for registrations, and we will get more of an idea of the underlying situation in March, which is usually the peak month.

Month: 571 units, -3.9% change (compared with February 2021) Year to date: 1,071 units, -8.8% change (compared with January–February 2021)

Contracting prices will increase this spring The National Association of Agricultural Contractors (NAAC) is warning farmers and land managers that contracting prices will have to rise in the coming days and weeks. Commenting, NAAC chairman James Bannister stated: “As fuel prices double and continue to climb, machinery costs spiral and 87157

labour remains at a premium for skilled operators, it will no longer be possible for agricultural contractors to retain static prices. Looking at the escalation in input costs, with spring work potentially only days away, professional contractors will have no choice but to increase costs to sustain their own businesses.” The NAAC has recently

launched a new online pricing tool for its membership, with Andersons Consulting, to allow contractors to evaluate each operation, taking into account all costs, so that they can see the cold, hard facts for each job. This will allow quotes to be made, backed up by statistics, to get to a price that is realistic for the current economic climate.

Telehandler sales area expands to include North Wales Robert Davies Machinery Ltd has been awarded the North Wales area for Manitou Agricultural telehandlers and earthmoving equipment (skid steers and articulated loaders). “It’s a great opportunity for Mary and the team at RDM to grow the business and, most importantly, service and support the customer base in North Wales. RDM has a wealth of experience with the Manitou brand in both sales and after sales, so this will be welcome news to the agricultural industry in North Wales,” stated Manitou area sales manager for Wales and the South West of England, Richard Felton. Based just outside of Shrewsbury, Robert Davies Machinery Ltd was established in 1989 by Robert and Mary Davies, specialising in the sale of new and used agricultural machinery. It already has sales and service staff in the North Wales region, but to strengthen its position and better serve the new and existing client base, a depot will be opened in the near future to service the territory.

Help needed for major new study on labour shortages and skills A major new study will shed light on the labour and skills shortages responsible for the staffing crisis in the farming and horticultural industry. Experts from the University of Exeter will survey employers to gather crucial information for the Institute for Agriculture and Horticulture (TIAH) about current skill levels, critical skills gaps and priority training needs and the reasons behind them. Experts hoped to be able to estimate current and anticipated future UK workforce numbers. The research will create a profile of the agricultural workforce, including demographic information, skill levels and qualifications. It will show the prevalence of skills shortage and recruitment difficulties. Professor Matt Lobley, from the University of Exeter, said: “This research will give the industry an essential and accurate picture of farm labour and skills requirements, both now and in the future.” The research team will also review existing evidence, including technical reports, academic articles, industry data and other organisational surveys.

News in brief Telehandlers joined by new compactors and attachments at LAMMA

As well as Bobcat’s new generation R-Series agricultural telehandlers, visitors to the LAMMA show will be able to see new light compaction machinery and some of the latest tool

carriers and attachment products on the company’s stand. Bobcat will be showing two new R-Series telehandlers for the first time at a UK show at LAMMA – the top-of-the-range TL43.80HF and the compact TL30.60 telehandler, both in Agri 4 Star specification. Also debuting will be the company’s new range of light compaction products.

New Bobcat attachments will also be an important feature of the stand. Demonstrating just how flexible the company’s miniexcavators have become as tool carriers, Bobcat is presenting a new range of flail mower attachments for the first time at LAMMA, as well as premiering a new family of pressure washer attachments for Bobcat loaders at the show.

Farmers to be penalised in government green heat plans Farmers will be unfairly penalised if government proposals to enforce electric heat technologies in rural areas, are passed. In a move to decarbonise rural heating, the government’s heat and buildings strategy plans to phase out fossil fuel heating systems in over 100,000 offgrid businesses and 2 million homes in England, from 2026. This is nine years earlier than for those on England’s main gas grid. Instead, agricultural businesses that rely on

traditional fuels such as heating oil or LPG for space and water heating, will be forced to install electrified technologies with expensive up-front install costs, such as heat pumps, if their current system breaks down. This could impact rural office spaces, milking parlours, poultry sheds or grain stores. “A blanket approach to the decarbonisation of rural heat fails to consider the complex needs of farming

businesses,” says Liquid Gas UK director of public affairs, Sophia Haywood (left). “The agricultural community relies heavily on traditional fuels for heating and hot water – their energy needs are vast.” She adds that renewable bioLPG is already available and can be ‘dropped in’ to existing LPG systems. “Rural people deserve to be treated fairly and have a choice over how to heat and power their businesses.”

Plan ahead, specialist advises woodland grant scheme applicants Delays in the process and approval of applications for the Woodland Creation Planning Grant scheme could potentially hamper the government’s drive to increase the amount of woodland in England, Carter Jonas reckons. “Before applying for a grant, the landowner needs to ascertain if the land in question is suitable for woodland creation,” associate

partner at Carter Jonas, Marc Liebrecht said. “Landowners don’t tend to want to plant on prime agricultural land – they want to use less productive land, but as this is often more biodiverse it can mean there are more constraints against what it is used for. Once that is done, the landowner needs to apply to the Forestry Commission for approval for a grant – and no work can be

carried out until that is secured. “The key thing for applicants to remember is that there is currently a bottleneck which will take a while to clear, but that shouldn’t put people off. “Applicants should manage their expectations accordingly – my advice is to plan ahead, act fast when you can, and be realistic about your timeframe.”

New dealer for the Isle of White and Hampshire Opico Ltd has announced the appointment of Mike Garwood Agricultural Engineers Ltd to its He-Va dealer network. With depots in Alton, Hampshire and on the Isle of White, Mike Garwood has been in the business of providing a full service, with the latest agricultural and horticultural machinery, for over 30 years, including sales of new and used equipment, servicing, and parts. The relationship with Opico goes back almost as far, with Mike Garwood selling Opico branded machinery since the early noughties. Dealer principal, Mike Garwood, commented: “I’ve worked with the team at Opico for many years. I’ve always been impressed with their support and I can’t think of a better cultivation brand to add to our machinery portfolio than He-Va. We have new stock available in both our depots and we are looking forward to getting out in the field and demonstrating to our existing and new customers this season.”

Full line dealer appointed to cover Wales Bobcat has appointed A&M Group, with headquarters in Bridgend, as the company’s new authorised dealer for South, West and Mid Wales. A&M Group is now responsible for sales and service in this region for the entire Bobcat range of loaders, mini-excavators, telehandlers, light compaction and attachments. Newport-based Border Bobcat, the previous dealer for the area, is now specialising in the Bobcat skid-steer, compact track, compact wheel and small articulated loader ranges for the counties of Powys and Gwent. The new district manager for Bobcat for the UK South area, Andrew Wolton, commented: “We are delighted to confirm A&M Group as the new full line Bobcat authorised dealer for South, West and Mid Wales. I look forward to working closely with A&M Group and we are confident that they will be as successful as a full-liner for the entire Bobcat range as they have been selling the Bobcat agricultural telehandler range in Wales over the last few years.”

Better farming ‘delivers net zero’ in South Wales (l-r) Richard Anthony, Chris Taylor and Dan Moore checking on a cover crop.

Net zero has never been a primary goal for Richard and Lynn Anthony and their team at Tythegston Farm, near Bridgend, on the South Wales coast. But the latest Farm Carbon Toolkit calculations show the 1,200ha they own and manage are annually sequestering over 21,000t CO2eq. More than anything else, such a positive contribution to carbon capture results from the progressive farming improvements made over the past 10 years in particular, with the accent firmly on soil health. “It’s really not complicated,” insists Mr Anthony. “You need to grow something to take in CO2. Then you have to hold it in your soil. Essentially, this means two things – keeping as much green cover as possible throughout the year, and doing everything you can to build and maintain soil organic matter. At the end of the day, it all comes down to soil health. Which is, after all, the key to our overall resilience and financial sustainability too.” This philosophy has resulted in a six-year rotation involving nine separate crops on ground that can grow maize, and a five-year rotation with six separate crops on particularly heavy, wet land. Winter wheat is central to both rotations, with upwards of 450ha being grown alongside around 300ha of maize, 200ha of OSR and 250ha of grass. Good local markets and the need for resilience means all the wheat is grown for feed, with a fiveyear average of just over 10t/ha. On more favourable ground, wheat is followed by a mixture of winter rye and Westerwolds ryegrass grazed by sheep then cut for silage ahead of maize planting in April. This sequence is repeated, followed by another crop of wheat, winter OSR

and a catch crop of phacelia before going back to wheat. Where maize can’t be grown, the wheat/winter OSR/phacelia/wheat recipe is followed by two years of Italian ryegrass for silage then back to wheat. “As an Agrii iFarm, we have had the advantage of being able to test out a wide range of catch and cover crops, companions for our OSR, and different cropping and soil management opportunities; not to mention exploring the best wheats for our high septoria environment,” explains Mr Anthony.

Go-to catch crop “Phacelia has been our go-to catch crop for a while now. Its brilliant rooting works wonders for the soil and worms. Having trialled a whole host of other species with Agrii, we’ll be adding vetches to it next year.”

“We’ve really stepped-up our OSR companion cropping in the past four years – mainly to find the best way of maintaining mycorrhizae and building other elements of soil health through the rotation,” adds farm manager, Dan Moore. “We’re not there yet, but our current combination of spring beans, buckwheat and purple vetch is looking good. Especially now we’ve adapted a second-hand Mzuri drill to sow all the species at the right depths. “The companions have certainly helped limit flea beetle problems, but their real beauty is in the way they work together to support the rape. The beans and the vetch do a great job in rooting and nitrogen capture, while the buckwheat mines phosphate. With their support, all our OSR averaged around 5t/ha last year.”

Quietly reducing tillage The Tythegson team have been quietly reducing tillage for a good 15 years now, and would like to do so even further. Soils ranging from pure sand to heavy wet clays with silt contents of up to 70% plus 1,250mm of annual rainfall, however, limit their no-till opportunities. The OSR apart, Vaderstad Rapid drilling following a shallow pass with a Topdown (fitted with 50mm points for good soil loosening with the least mixing) is currently the standard practice. Sowing the phacelia with the Topdown, however, allows the following wheat to be drilled directly. And a 12-year-old Horsch Sprinter that has seen a lot of work provides a valuable wet weather drilling option. With such a strong local demand, all the cereal straw is baled. This means the business has had to rely on local authority compost and turkey litter, together with cover cropping in building soil organic matters from around 2–3% to the impressive 7–8% of most of their ground now. The Farm Carbon Toolkit underlines the overwhelming contribution this makes to their negative carbon footprint.

All but eliminate artificial fertilisation

OSR with companion crops.

booms (justified by the substantial contracting business managed by their son, David) but this has allowed the Anthonys to all but eliminate artificial fertilisation. This and the team’s desire to keep on improving soil health, and with it their carbon footprint, is leading a number of further companion cropping, rotational and agronomic improvements to be explored with their Agrii agronomist, Chris Taylor. Foremost amongst these are introducing white clover into the two-year IRG leys and maintaining it under the wheat and right through to the OSR, and growing a cash crop of lupins for local feed markets as a spring-sown alternative to maize.

Valuable here too is the contract they have to manage digestate from a major carbon neutral domestic waste AD plant right on their doorstep. It has involved a lot of investment in umbilical systems and 19,500-litre tankers with 24m dribble bar

Lupins on trial.

“We’ve had two years of very positive field-scale trials with lupins so far,” Mr Taylor says. “Even though they weren’t sown until June and harvested in early October, they averaged 3.5t/ ha last season with no fertiliser or crop protection inputs whatsoever. Add in nitrogen fixing, and they’re a very exciting opportunity here. We’re scaling-up lupin growing this coming spring, but don’t want to get too carried away until we’ve fully explored the implications for the rotation.” With a local history of brome and resistant ryegrass problems, cutting back on herbicides is a major challenge. However, using the most competitive wheats, not drilling them too early, keeping year-round cover and having maize as a spring break are proving very valuable here. As are two years of silaging everything well before heading in the heavy land rotation. “For us, it’s all a matter of farming better,” Mr Anthony explains. “We do this by looking hard at the issues we face and the opportunities we have; by never being afraid to try new things; and by making the most of those that work. And with better farming comes better sustainability in every way.” FG

Practical solutions to cutting carbon Reducing the greenhouse gas footprint of farming operations benefits the environment and business profitability. This was the clear message to more than 200 attendees at Hutchinsons' National Carbon Conference in February. While farming is often criticised for its GHG emissions, delegates heard how the sector was pivotal to tackling climate change through improved efficiency and carbon sequestration. Acknowledging that although it was still early days for carbon markets and financial incentives, speakers said simple improvements to the carbon footprint made sound business sense and would help meet ambitious GHG targets. NFU climate change adviser Dr Ceris Jones was confident UK agriculture could meet the union’s 2040 net zero ambition – 10 years earlier than the government’s target – through a concerted effort across different areas. “There is no silver bullet to tackling GHGs. We need as many farmers as possible to do everything they can to reduce emissions per hectare and per tonne,” she commented. “Farmers can’t do this alone, so it’s great to see Hutchinsons grabbing this issue.” Speakers highlighted the links between reducing emissions, efficiency and cost savings, and that on productive land, maximising yield helped reduce the carbon footprint per tonne. “Many things we can do to reduce emissions make perfect business sense,” conference chairman Gary Mills-Thomas said. But before making changes, he, and others, advised farms to assess their individual carbon situation to identify areas to focus on and provide a baseline to measure changes against. TerraMap Carbon and Omnia Carbon management offer an ideal means of doing this, Hutchinsons reckons.

Areas to target Nitrogen fertiliser was highlighted as a major contributor to the carbon footprint on arable farms, as its production and application accounted for around 60% of emissions, The Farm Carbon Toolkit’s Becky Willson explained. Fuel use and field operations accounted for

20%, while other fertilisers, lime, seed and crop protection made up the remainder. “Although crop input emissions are the predominant factor, we still have to produce food – otherwise we risk exporting the problem,” commented Ms Willson. Improving nitrogen use efficiency was explained as being a great starting point for reducing emissions, that offered significant financial benefits given high fertiliser prices. Advice included more accurate application timing matched to crop requirement and greater consideration of fertiliser type used. Dr Nigel Davies, of Maltdoctor Ltd, said that “abated” nitrogen fertiliser offers significant carbon savings. As former director of sustainability for Muntons, he embeds abated fertiliser use in supplier contracts, reducing the carbon footprint of the firm’s primary raw material by 32%, at no extra cost to growers. Coupled with reduced emissions in malting, Muntons has decarbonised by around 60% since 2010.

Soil health focus While nitrogen often grabs carbon headlines, the focus should be on soil, the speakers reckoned. Hutchinsons head of soils, Ian Robertson, said well-managed healthy soil fulfills four functions: 1. Plant production 2. Carbon sequestration 3. Filter and buffer water 4. Biological habitat and diversity Healthy, well-structured soil means better crop rooting and improved nutrient use efficiency, potentially creating opportunities to reduce fertiliser applications while maximising yield. Healthy soils are also more resilient and can facilitate management changes that reduced carbon emissions, such as zero tillage, he said. Helix Yorkshire farmer, Nick Wilson, said soil health underpins any successful farm business. He explained how his farm’s move away from

a plough/power-harrow based system to strip tillage had dramatically improved soil health, resilience and carbon footprint. Particular focus was on managing organic matter through applying manures and introducing mixed species cover crops. Kent farmer, Tom Sewell, also moved to notill within a concerted focus on protecting and enhancing soils across 600ha managed for 15 landowners, commenting: “Soil health underpins everything we do.” Cover and catch crops, plus regular organic matter additions have been vital for feeding soil biology, retaining moisture, and improving structure and workability, he said. Finances have benefitted too. Over three years, fertiliser use has been cut 10% annually from 300kg N/ha, while maintaining yields, and fuel used for crop establishment has fallen to 8–10 litres/ha. He planned further reductions, potentially to 4 litres/ha, by purchasing a highcapacity Horsch drill.

Soil carbon storage Rothamsted’s Steve McGrath said soil is important for sequestering carbon, but that soil type and land use affect its storage ‘capacity’. Different soils have their own “saturation point” for soil organic carbon (SOC) and levels gradually decrease if organic carbon inputs fall as material degrades, he noted. Soils with high clay or fine silt content are good at protecting SOC, as it becomes bound to mineral particles. FG

Prothioconazole options pitched together in pot trial tests The adage ‘pay your money and take your choice’ is apt when it comes to branded products versus genetics. For farmers, trying to work out what is best is tricky, cost savings having to be pitched against reliability and performance. Generic manufacturers often claim that off-patent products perform as well as original formulated brands. The chemical brands counter that, for actives to work to their optimum, they have to be supported by an appropriate formulation – something very difficult to achieve. Convinced about the quality of its prothioconazole formulations, Bayer arranged for Nottingham University to undertake some tests. According to Bayer, the findings do suggest that the attractive price proposition of generics could be lost through inconsistent field performance or higher rates being needed. Bayer’s Greg Hanna says that, although generic prothioconazole performs well, it isn’t quite the ‘real deal’, and work at Nottingham University suggests he may have a point, Bayer reckons. Septoria and yellow rust pot trials conducted in 2021 compared 16 different products and mixtures at various rates to deliver the same amount of prothioconazole, tebuconazole or both. It showed consistent improvements in disease control for Proline (prothioconazole) and Folicur (tebuconazole) over generic prothioconazole and tebuconazole alternatives, and Bayer’s co-form of both (Prosaro) over mixed straights. Regardless of the rate, disease, or protective and curative situations, the branded products were more efficacious, according to the trials. University associate professor Stephen Rossall (pictured right), who conducted the research, feels this has to be down to formulation. “We specifically developed the trial so that the amount of active ingredient was the same for all products and mixtures. I assume with the Bayer branded products, the active is getting into the plant and pathogen more effectively. This would particularly explain the difference in curative performance.”

The trials were specifically developed to look at disease control and, being under glass, no environmental benefits could be explored. But Prof. Rossall wonders if the formulation is benefiting the movement of actives, is it helping protect them too? “This was not part of our research, but formulation technology might be improving UV protection or accelerate rainfastness,” he suggests. Mr Hanna says the gap in both protective and curative septoria performance is a strong argument for relying on branded products. “At the 2⁄3 rate, more akin to what occurs in the field, there is a 20-point advantage in septoria control from Proline [compared to a generic product]. That gap was retained when applied curatively – applications made five days after inoculation. Yellow rust trials also highlight differences in protective and curative performance. The performance gap is smaller, but differences remain, he notes. Similar results were seen with Prosaro – a formulation of both prothioconazole and tebuconazole – versus a mix of generic prothioconazole and tebuconazole.

Higher rates required? He adds that to achieve the same level of performance generic rates might need to be higher, possibly offsetting any potential price advantage. The second argument for Bayer formulated fungicides is that he believes there is a link between formulation and field reliability. Mr Hanna points to Bayer work at its Monheim R&D centre, exposing fungicides to challenging storage and transport conditions. Some generic fungicides were found to separate when subjected to high temperatures. “Fungicides are often transported

long distances and stored for long periods; again the formulation needs to protect against temperature fluctuations and movement. “Some of the first generic tebuconazole formulations proved very unreliable, resulting in sprayer blockages through crystallisation. These appear to be rectified but it was no fun for those with a blocked sprayer at the time. We’ve also seen growers switch back to the original glyphosate formulation due to performance issues,” he notes.

Recipe just as important In Mr Hanna’s view, the recipe is as important as the active or actives. “It’s the actives that do the work, but you need to get them there – and that is where formulation comes in. Whether it be Proline, Prosaro or Ascra (prothioconazole + bixafen + fluopyram), there is a very carefully selected blend of wetters, stickers and emulsifiers to ensure the perfect leaf adhesion and penetration of plant tissues. That blend is carefully guarded by us and, whilst the ingredients can be copied, the recipe is very difficult to reliably replicate.” Mr Hanna points out that as formulation advances occur, these are integrated into the Bayer product range. “Our Proline and Xpro formulations include a specialist amide fatty acid that plasticises the cuticle and a castor oil emulsifier to optimise droplet size and spread.” Mr Hanna says, ultimately, growers have to weigh up the ‘risk and reward’ for themselves. “Of course, generics come with a cost benefit, but that usually comes with a greater degree of risk. That could be slightly reduced disease efficacy or reliability in the field. “Also, you might lose some of those added value extras. An azole + SDHI mix should offer good disease control but it might not have the rainfastness of a product like Ascra. Work at SSAU has highlighted how quickly Ascra droplets adhere and spread across the leaf surface. “I am not aware of any Proline or Xpro fungicide product failures for more than 12 years. That is what you’re paying for – optimum performance, but also reliability and consistency over a range of conditions,” he concludes. FG April 2022 www.farmersguide.co.uk 17

Crop benchmarking signposts the way to sugar beet yield improvements Over the last five years, the Beet Yield Challenge (BYC) – a cross-industry initiative led by the BBRO – has been following the performance of around 150 crops in forensic detail. Taking some key measurements of crop performance, such a plant population, canopy development and health, the actual yields achieved by growers were compared to potential yields estimated by a crop growth model. This model used drilling date, soil type, local weather date and harvest date to model canopy growth, root dry matter and sugar content for each field. This allows benchmarking not just against other crop yields but, more importantly, against the potential of each field – helping to identify where yield was lost and what key agronomic improvement should be targeted. Dr Georgina Barratt was busy in the field throughout the summer, taking crop measurements and processing the data, she said: “Comparing data from a number of farms, with varying soils and practices provides BBRO with a fantastic insight into crop development which helps to shape our research.” The table below shows the range of values across the five years. The average actual and potential yield highlights the impact of season, with better growing conditions

management fungicide protection. A case of ‘planning to harvest a crop late, not just harvesting a crop late!’ As the climatologists predict warmer and wetter autumn weather, this is one area growers should really look to exploit in the future. 2. Plant population, a consistent factor for lost yield potential (10–15%) across the five years. A greater focus on seed bed cultivation and drilling accuracy. Less emphasis on drilling by date but drilling when conditions are right. A run of dry springs during the five years indicates we must question approaches such as multiple cultivation passes that can result in dry seed beds and formation of clods. It is vital to look at the range of plant populations across fields as uniformity has been shown to be key. This results in some interesting ideas about precision approaches such as strip tillage, variable rate drilling or simply identifying the more challenging areas of fields and managing them appropriately. Growers who were prepared to be more flexible in their strategy tended to have better plant populations. 3. Resilience to drought. Across the five years, a possible 10% of yield potential was lost to drought, but this figure was much higher in the drought years. Incidence of summer

experienced in 2017 and 2018 compared to a severe later summer drought in 2019, and the impact of drought, virus, and foliar disease in 2020. Interestingly, whilst crops grew good canopies in 2021, one of the dullish Augusts on record reduced sugar content at earlier harvest dates. Crops left for later harvesting and some warm wet weather allowed many crops to recover. In some cases, this was even better than the growth model predicted. Across the five years, there was a 10–25% yield gap between actual and potential yields, making it possible to identify three key factors as the most significant areas for yield improvement. Remembering that seasonal weather patterns determine the relative importance in any one year, across the five years these are ranked in order of priority as follows: 1. The loss of yield potential in the autumn was consistently a key factor, creating a yield gap of circa 10–20%. Key areas of agronomic improvement to address this is a more strategic selection for soil type for autumn yield suitability, variety choice and a greater focus on foliar disease

drought was a key feature of the BYC five years. Use of manures, cover crops, and the retention and incorporation of straw were all associated with better yields following drought conditions. The impact of these was clearly related to farms which had been deploying these strategies for longer.

A final observation Overall, diligence was clearly demonstrated as an overriding common denominator. Over the five years, those growers consistently achieving a higher proportion of their potential yield than others demonstrated ‘attention to detail’ in managing their crops. Managing each field to extract the best performance through a tailored approach to soil management, cultivation, drilling, and variety selection was important. A similar approach to matching late season crop management field by field to variety and foliar disease control achieved better results. Attention to detail will clearly have a management time cost, but the BYC has shown this investment in time clearly pays dividends. FG 86999

Don’t forget the spray tank management basics When it comes to the spring spraying programme, growers are being reminded not to be complacent when it comes to tank mixing and sprayer hygiene, ahead of making applications. FMC commercial technical manager, Adam Espir, explains that tank mixing pesticides helps save time and compaction by cutting down the required passes over a crop. But rushing to do this can potentially cause more problems than it solves. “When looking to tank mix, it’s essential that you don’t forget the basics. As with any pesticide, be sure to follow the product label, paying close attention to the compatibility guidance and mixing order,” he says. To prevent blockages and other problems in the sprayer, Mr Espir stresses the importance of not rushing to put all products into the induction hopper at once. “Don’t forget to fill the sprayer with half the required water volume and start agitation. You’ll then need to ensure each pesticide added is fully dispersed before introducing another product. Be patient, you don’t want concentrates to come into contact with each other,” he says.

“Once you’re confident that each product has been fully dispersed, fill the tank to the required volume and maintain constant agitation. This process is particularly important if using granular products and EC liquids, which can be prone to blocking filters if not fully dispersed.” Mr Espir reminds farmers that using higher water volumes can also help prevent issues, especially for complex mixes. He recommends using a minimum of 200-litres/ha of water if possible. FG

Top tips for sprayer hygiene On top of correct tank mixing protocols, Mr Espir highlights that appropriately cleaning out a sprayer after use will help to maintain efficacy and avoid cross contamination. He outlines his top tips to remember for good sprayer hygiene: • Always wash out the sprayer thoroughly, especially between different crop types, such as moving from cereals to broadleaf crops • Dry residues are harder to remove from a sprayer, so wash out on the same day as spraying • If you have an in-tank rising system, make use of it, but remember it is not a substitute for a thorough clean out • Use a specific spray tank cleaner, such as All Clear Extra, for a thorough clean • Always use high quality pesticides, specifically formulated for easy mixing and washout.

Funginar #1: Barley-dedicated technical webinar highlights In the first in a series of BASF 'Funginars', Teagasc senior research officer Dr Stephen Kildea, and BASF business development manager for Ireland, David Leahy, gave growers the opportunity to learn from their Irish barley-growing experience. Dr Kildea explained: “Barley is sink limited, and so yield is dictated by the number of tillers and ears that the crop maintains. Our disease control strategy has to try to protect the barley both early in the season to protect yield creation, and then later in the season to protect yield potential. “Disease control has to start with preventing or suppressing disease and varietal choice is key, however, although varietal resistance is increasing, some weaknesses still exist – with no varietal resistance for ramularia. “Basic agronomy decisions can alleviate disease pressures, for example the position of the crop in the rotation can influence the carryover of rhynchosporium and net blotch as can the sowing date.” When devising a fungicide programme, the chemistry has to be matched to the disease and the risk – which will differ with the season and the inherent risks. Mr Leahy said: “In barley, the big foliar diseases are ramularia, rhynchosporium and net blotch. Ramularia needs to be in your mind from day one. By controlling primary diseases such as rhyncho and net blotch, there is a positive effect on secondary diseases such as ramularia. Having a robust approach to disease control on barley from start to finish will help mitigate the threat posed by ramularia. This is largely linked to reducing stress on the crop, which is central to delaying ramularia onset. Growers can’t do much about crop stress caused by the weather, but they can ensure crops establish well and keep them clean and wellnourished, reducing the risk of stress later in the season.” Tevos is a new, unique non-

prothioconazole-based solution for barley crops which is ideal for use at T1; a combination of strobilurin F500 and SDHI Xemium. It can be used either as a solo or in combination with prothioconazole if desired, especially where disease pressure is high. “Not getting on top of disease at T1 risks compromising yield, and also puts a strain on the later chemistry. The combination of Xemium and F500 at T1 sets the crop up to perform. Xemium is the strongest solution for rhynchosporium, building yield and reducing brackling and F500 is not only the most effective active ingredient against net blotch, including the F129L mutation, which is very common in the UK, but also delivers proven physiological benefits which significantly reduce plant stresses. “With the main source of net blotch infection being stubble and volunteer plants, the gravitation to direct drilling and min till really adds to the risk of net blotch when establishing barley crops into these systems.” Whilst the T1 spray is all about creating yield potential, ultimately the T2 timing is all about maintaining that potential. “Revystar XE [...] is ideally suited to the T2 timing. The Revysol component is the strongest azole on ramularia, and there is a direct correlation between good ramularia control and good brackling control. Xemium is an extremely effective SDHI on straw brackling, which can be an issue for modern hybrids and spring barley varieties.” Funginar #1 ‘Barley disease update, what’s up?’ can be watched on replay at http://in.basf.com/okq2k6p FG

Approval leads to barley fungicide armoury addition

Although barley varietal resilience has improved over recent seasons, there’s still no Extase-equivalent in recommended winter and spring barley lists, so the frontline for defence remains with disease control and an effective fungicide armoury – which has been strengthened by the launch of Ascra (prothioconazole + bixafen + fluopyram). Ascra is approved for one application per season for both winter and spring varieties. Independent and Bayer farm trials with its Forward Farmer group have delivered mean yield responses of 0.3t/ha in winter barley varieties and 0.2t/ha benefit in spring varieties, when compared to previous standard Siltra (prothioconazole + bixafen), says Bayer. The company also claims

improved protection against rhynchosporium and net blotch when compared to Revystar, with equal ramularia control. Ascra also has full MAGB approval for malting varieties and a cut-off date of GS61, ideal for those growers targeting premium markets. “Often the ideal ramularia timing for spring crops is GS49 (first awns visible) and fortunately both Siltra and Ascra can

be used here,” notes Bayer’s Scottish CTM Grant Reid. SRUC’s Prof Fiona Burnett (right) puts Ascra’s performance down to its higher loading of SDHI. But she also ponders whether physiological benefits are playing a part, particularly with ramularia. In SRUC spring barley trials, Ascra has shown to give a slight uplift in yield, over Siltra, which she feels could be down to this as SDHIs have limited Ramularia activity. “We know that plant stress is a factor in ramularia infection, so any benefit in plant health is helpful. Much of the SDHI family have these additional properties, which we saw with strobs. Also, research has shown that healthier plants photosynthesise more efficiently.” She also welcomes the news that there has been no shift in the efficacy of prothioconazole, given that it is the cornerstone of most barley programmes. She also feels the addition of Folpet bolsters ramularia control. For winter barley, Prof. Burnett feels it is particularly useful in net blotch and rhynchosporium situations. “We’ve seen a slight slide in SDHI performance against net blotch resulting in higher rates being needed to maintain control. Ascra’s high SDHI loading is bolstering activity,” she notes. Dr Tom McCabe of Teagasc agrees that Ascra’s SDHI loading is a benefit in barley disease control programmes. He considers rhynchosporium the major winter barley threat in Ireland and throughout much of the UK. A polycyclic disease crops can be

exposed to multiple infections and research has shown that this trashborne disease can be spread by infected seed. There’s probably no better place than Ireland to test fungicides for wet weather diseases, and Ascra has proved a consistent performer in Teagasc winter barley rhynchosporium trials. Dr McCabe sees Ascra as a flexible option, suiting both key timings but particularly useful as a winter barley T1 application. “Barley is a sink capacity crop so ear numbers are vital for yield. The T1 is all about tiller protection and retention. That SDHI loading is also giving an uplift to net blotch control, and with a good dose of prothioconazole it is effective against mildew too,” he notes. Dr McCabe says Siltra is still performing well, but the addition of fluopyram just gives growers more options. Also, he isn’t opposed to prothioconazole being used twice in winter barley programmes, but would be if used at the T0. Here he would prefer to see cyprodinil or spiroxamine applied. Mr Reid agrees and says Ascra’s use should be directed where disease potency is most needed. “For winter crops, that is most likely for the T1 – but for those with historical ramularia problems, it might be better to hold off until the T2.” For spring crops, with full MAGB approval and use at GS49, he sees the T2 as an obvious fit. “This timing is the key driver for yield so it is important to protect the flag leaf and awns against ramularia. With enhanced disease activity and physiological properties Ascra is a very good fit,” he concludes. FG

Five-point checklist in response to reduced septoria resistance ratings Reduced Septoria tritici resistance ratings among winter wheat varieties on the 2022/23 AHDB Recommended List (RL) compared with 2021/22 means extra care is needed with the disease this spring, says Syngenta crop disease specialist, David Ranner. According to Mr Ranner, a significant number of winter wheat varieties common to the 2022/23 and 2021/22 RLs have seen their one-year septoria resistance ratings on the 2022/23 RL fall by over half a point from their three-year ratings on the 2021/22 RL, following last season’s late epidemic. And around a sixth have fallen by more than one point on the 1-9 scale, he explains. “Varietal resistance provides a first line of defence against disease,” says Mr Ranner. “Septoria can reduce yield up to 50%. Where crops are at greater risk, I would urge growers to have a proactive management plan in place.” To help, he suggests a five-point checklist: 1. Factor in drilling date and location As well as checking a variety’s septoria resistance rating, take account of its drilling date when assessing risk. Septoria levels can be much higher in September-drilled wheat than October-drilled, and certainly some crops were drilled early last autumn as growers took advantage of the dry September. Clearly, the weather also plays a huge role in how septoria develops, so later drilling won’t eliminate risk, but earlier drilling allows it longer to build

up over winter. Thicker crops from earlier drilling also encourage its spread via rain splash. In wetter areas – like the West or North – growers need to be particularly careful with less resistant varieties. 2. Prevent rather than cure With difficulties curing septoria once established, it will be particularly important to adopt a ‘keep it out’ approach to control, with fungicides generally working better when applied preventatively. Historic glasshouse research by ADAS for Syngenta comparing SDHI + azole fungicides showed much better septoria control with treatments applied preventatively, seven days before leaves were infected, than curatively, seven days after. This was still evident seven weeks after application, with the greatest preventative control of the experiment’s septoria population coming from Elatus Era. With good grain prices and the top three leaves in winter wheat contributing three quarters of the final yield, there’s a strong case for a long-lasting fungicide, such as Elatus Era, at the important T1 timing to start protecting these leaves.

3. Recognise the value of a T0 With heightened risks, do not overlook the benefit of a T0 fungicide, typically applied in March, to suppress infection that has come through the winter. Reducing early disease pressure with a T0 also increases the likelihood that the T1 fungicide will be applied preventatively for better results.

4. Maintain correct fungicide timings and doses A variety that is less able to resist infection requires well-timed fungicides to stay on top of disease, and potentially higher fungicide doses. Monitor crop growth stages carefully. This isn’t only to guard against fungicides being applied too late after infection has built up, it’s also to ensure the correct leaf is being targeted. At T1, there’s no substitute for dissecting the plant and counting the number of leaves yet to emerge to check you are indeed treating leaf three. 5. Build in multi-site protection With heightened disease risks, do not neglect the benefits of including a proven multi-site fungicide in the programme to target septoria at multiple points in its metabolism. As well as providing a different mode of action to protect single-site fungicides against resistance, adding the multi-site folpet to a range of other fungicides in trial plots in 2021 was shown to both improve septoria control and increase yield.

Whole farm approach to agroecological farming practices This is the premise of the Helix Agroecology Farm hosted by Harry Heath of Whitley Manor Farm, Newport, Shropshire. Agroecology, or regenerative farming, is a method or practise of farming that has come increasingly into the limelight as growers look for ways of working with nature on their farms – driven by the need to follow a more holistic, environmentally-focused path. As an industry, we are still not in a position to be able to clearly define all the benefits of many of the practices that we associate with agroecology, says Hutchinsons head of innovation and technology, Stuart Hill. “The Helix Agroecology farm allows us to use technology to measure and monitor change as agroecological practices are implemented on a farm-scale level so that we can determine the real benefits they offer in particular situations. “This is a long-term project that will allow us to look at the whole farm as a biological system, not just certain fields or parts of the farm, and that’s significant. All the key areas of focus are intrinsically linked and will produce data to allow Harry and his agronomist Ed Brown to make the best decisions in an agroecologically sympathetic, but profitable and sustainable way,” he adds.

Five key focus areas across Whitley Manor Farm

• • • • •

How can data improve farm sustainability? How do we measure and improve soils? How do we manage nutrition? How do crop genetics benefit the grower? Delivering tangible Integrated Crop Management.

Harry Heath took over the running of the family farm back in 2010. Pigs were the mainstay of the business at the time, with between 550–600 breeding sows producing 17,000 pigs/year and 200ha of arable with previous cropping of potatoes and sugar beet. “Our soils had a legacy of over-cultivation and were not in a good way – worm counts were down, the soil profile was slumping, erosion was increasing after big rain events – we were taking more out of the soils than we were putting back in,” he explains. “It was time to re-evaluate and look at a

long-term strategy that would help restore soil structure. This was our platform into agroecology, so we began to look at which practices we could adopt – whilst also keeping a firm eye on profit.” Today there are no pigs; contracting and combinable cropping dominates the farm business. A move to agroecological practices in 2019 means that crops are established with minimal cultivations. Cover and catch crops are grown wherever possible. Liquid fertiliser is applied with molasses to feed soil biology. Omnia is integral to all crop and nutrition planning and cost of production analysis is crucial.

“Most importantly what we have learnt about agroecology is that it’s all about keeping an open mind and challenging every decision. We are on a learning curve and it’s important to remember that agroecology is not a religion and sometimes plans need to change – ultimately the crop has to be as profitable as possible,” summarises Harry. Harry hopes that his work with Helix will help to address specific challenges such as controlling resistant populations of rye-grass, building back up lost soil structure and looking to reduce inputs without compromising crop performance or profit. FG

Whitley Farm challenges and solutions Below, Hutchinsons’ Ed Brown outlines the key principles of tackling the challenges within an agroecological remit:

1. Controlling Italian ryegrass Minimise soil disturbance: Sometimes zero-till is not an option where there are challenging weeds burdens. In this situation, we have had to bring back the plough to control the ryegrass, but what is important here is the depth of the plough is kept to minimum; occasionally it is necessary to reset and start again. Keep the soil covered. Maintain living roots throughout the year. Maximise diversity: A mix of cover crops is important in offering a diversity of rooting habits, to build structure and help address the slump of the predominantly sandy soils. We used Maxi Cover which contains radish, vetch, clover, linseed, phacelia and buckwheat. Integrate livestock: Sheep grazed off the cover crops. According to Mr Brown: “Keeping an open mind and challenging every decision is key.”

2. Rebuilding soil structure Planning a soil strategy: A thorough baseline soil measurement was taken, measuring the physical, chemical and biological aspects of the soil. A Gold SSM soil test provided us with this detailed information to help us plan for a long term soil strategy. An initial group of fields were Terramapped to provide us with accurate soil type maps, from which we could pinpoint where to carry out further assessments.

3. Nitrogen Improving nitrogen use efficiency: It is imperative that we are only using what is needed by the crop – to ensure nitrogen use is at its most efficient, we will be examining the following: • Soil, leaf and sap analysis of N • Replicated farm tramline trials looking at farm standard N vs reduced N, foliar N and bacterial fixation of N • What impact does undersown clover have on nitrogen?

HITTING SPRING GRASS WEEDS FORWARD CEREAL CROPS AND ADVANCED GRASS WEEDS WILL MAKE SPRING HERBICIDE TIMING AND APPLICATION TECHNIQUES ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT THIS SEASON. Left uncontrolled, it’s those larger, well-established plants that will be far more competitive to the crop and produce a much greater viable seed return at harvest.

spray boom for all round coverage of the target, with a water volume of 100 l/ha. If treatments are delayed and the crop has grown taller to cover the weeds, a switch to a more vertical spray pattern and a larger droplet spectrum, can achieve better spray penetration through the canopy and down to the weeds. An increase in water volume, to 200 l/ha, can achieve better coverage on the larger weed leaves, he added. “It is essential to select a nozzle size that can deliver the required water volume at a pressure of 2.5 bar, when spraying at 12 km/hr or less – to minimise risk of drift, improve boom stability and maintain the desired spray pattern,” he urged. “Increasing the pressure, to raise the water volume, or believing it will blast the spray into the crop, is counter-productive, since it will result in a finer droplet spectrum that is less able to reach down into the crop canopy, and will be increasingly susceptible to drift.”

Treating grass weeds early, before they are hidden by the growing crop, makes it easier for sprays to hit the target, according to Syngenta Application Specialist, Harry Fordham. For early treatments, he advocated application using angled nozzles with a smaller droplet spectrum, best suited to targeting narrow grass weed leaves and hitting small plants under the crop canopy. Nozzles should be fitted to alternate facing forwards and backwards along the

Pre-emergence herbicides boost sugar beet yields

With post-emergence herbicides for sugar beet few and far between, metamitron and quinmerac-based pre-emergence applications will be crucial this season, says Adama. Trials have shown that, by giving weed control programmes an early season kickstart, the inclusion of a pre-emergence herbicide such as Goltix (700g/litre metamitron) or Goltix Titan (525g/litre metamitron and 40g/litre quinmerac) can help to increase yields by 7.5t/ha to 21t/ha. Obviously, the addition of a pre-emergence treatment will

increase cropping costs, but with such significant yield improvements, the extra time and effort will be more than worth it – especially for the many modern varieties with an upright growth habit, which allows greater light interception and therefore extends the germination period of weeds. Crops located at a distance from the farm or on land where

wet conditions could delay the application of a post-emergence treatment should be prioritised for a pre-emergence treatment, as the application of a residual herbicide will ensure these crops are protected ahead of time. Likewise, the use of a preemergence treatment can also be useful on land with a high weed burden (either in terms of difficult-tocontrol species or sheer population of weeds) or on crops which may not receive a post-emergence treatment at the ideal timing due to time constraints. Because modern sugar beet varieties are so quick to germinate, pre-emergence herbicides should ideally be applied within 24–48 hours of drilling and certainly within

an absolute maximum of five days post-drilling. Where an early post-emergence treatment is more appropriate (for example on soils with a high organic matter content), Goltix Titan will provide excellent activity against several of the more difficult to control weeds such as cleavers, orache and bindweed, Adama says. Pre-emergence treatments get sugar weed control off to the best start, according to trials (see main image). The split field trials carried out by Adama have shown that the addition of Goltix Titan at the beginning of a pre- and post-emergence programme provides superior weed control compared to programmes which rely solely on contact action at postemergence, the company claims.

Sums add up for potato weed control Potato growers feeling the pinch of price pressures this spring could look at simplifying herbicide mixes for more cost-effective pre-emergence options, advocates Syngenta technical manager, Andy Cunningham. Greater use of natural regeneration breaks and cover crops in arable rotations means the weed seed burden of some of the more troublesome weeds for potatoes are on the increase. Cleavers, mayweed and shepherd’s purse, for example, can proliferate rapidly in a single season. “Recent potato herbicide introductions have increased agronomists’ options. In many instances, however, simple mixes can achieve everything growers want, at lower relative cost,” he suggests. “Many of the key weeds that burden early potato emergence can be controlled, using the strength of mixes to widen the specific weed spectrum.” Recent trials have shown a mixture of Defy (prosulfocarb) at 4-litres/ha + metabromuron at a reduced rate of 1-litres/ha, for example, achieved full control of assessed broad-leaved weeds, including chickweed, mayweed, cleaver and shepherd’s purse. Untreated weed pressure from these species was more than 70/m2. That combination, typically costing just £43/ha at current prices, was even more effective overall compared to Defy at 3-litres/ha and metabromuron at a rate of 2-litres/ ha, which would cost nearly £55/ ha and proves slightly weaker on cleavers. Using Defy at 4.0-litres/ha plus metribuzin at 0.5-litres/ha could also reduce costs, but the trial showed that overall effects on some weeds could be reduced. “It is important to know the target weed spectrum when putting together mixes of the most cost-effective actives and appropriate rates,” advises Mr Cunningham. As well as the wide spectrum of broad-leaved weeds controlled by Defy, it also offers control of grassweeds including meadow

grasses and ryegrass. Using a higher rate extends the residual activity and means applications

can be conveniently made soon after planting, until soil is rising over emerging potato shoots, to

It’s vital to tease out what each component is contributing, to enable better informed decisions in the future,” he added. FG

atfarm 2020 harvest pesticide survey highlights key role of spearmint oil

by Yara

for improved Nitrogen Use Efficiency

The recently published ‘Pesticide Usage Survey for Potato Stores’ for the 2020 harvest highlights the important role of Biox-M (spearmint oil) in keeping British potatoes in store free from sprouts in the absence of CIPC. The survey is carried out every two years; the previous one being in 2018, when CIPC dominated sprout suppression. How the world has changed, with the announcement on 19th June 2019 to remove CIPC in short order. For the 2018 harvest season, the survey suggested that a modest 122,985t (5% of total tonnage which had received chemical sprout control) had been treated with Biox-M, and that all the crop treated with Biox-M was held in refrigerated box stores. This is no surprise; a number of users in the fresh market had, for a number of reasons and for a number of years, chosen not to use CIPC. Use of Biox-M had been growing steadily since it was first approved in November 2012. Foggers and store keepers in the fresh sector were comfortable with the treatment and its efficacy. For harvest 2020, the world was turned upside down, as the processing sector had to learn how to use a new, volatile product in a hurry. Experience from nearly a decade of use in the UK and Europe, considerable fogger expertise, and a good understanding of what needed to be done in store to deliver efficacy resulted in an exceptionally positive outcome, says Biox-M manufacturer Juno. And this is borne out by the numbers from the 2020 Survey, which saw a similar total tonnage of potatoes treated as in 2018. From a position as an important but minor player in the market, Biox-M moved to one of market

dominance. The survey indicates that 76% of stored crop which received sprout control was treated with Biox-M – an estimate of 1,638,407 tonnes, a 13-fold increase. Juno says that perhaps the most pleasing aspect, indicated by the wide range of positive anecdotal comments made to the company at BP2021, and supported by the very low number of customer concerns raised during the first season of widespread use, is the Survey confirmation of such a high level of market penetration by a product, new for many, but one which also has a number of very positive sustainability characteristics. Biox-M is a naturally occurring product, which sequesters carbon during growth and leaves no longterm residue in boxes or stores. FG

Sprout control: Best practice should be followed for optimum results As the former head of site of the recently closed AHDB Potatoes’ Sutton Bridge Crop Storage Research facility, Adrian Cunnington moved swiftly to plug the advisory gap for the potato storage industry. Rachel Hicks spoke to him recently to discuss the current storage options to reduce sprouting. Following the closure of the worldrenowned Sutton Bridge Crop Storage Research facility in late December 2021, Mr Cunnington set up Potato Storage Insight Ltd (PSI), an independent advisory and support service for the potato storage sector. He has over 35 years’ experience working on potato storage issues and will be introducing a storage bulletin subscription, discussion groups and store management training courses. Mr Cunnington explained: “Providing support to the industry through skills enhancement is a very important role that PSI is hoping to fulfil. It is crucial to ensure that knowledge is passed on to younger generations of farmers and managers to enable them to store crops as well as they can. Potato storage can prove very costly if it

isn’t done right and understanding the risks to make sure that returns are earned year on year is a key requirement for any potato production enterprise looking to deliver from store.” Farmers Guide editor Rachel Hicks caught up with Mr Cunnington recently regarding new developments in potato storage, as well as best practice updates. He explained that in-field treatment maleic hydrazide is still proving to be an important and effective control option, providing decent residual control for sprouting across around 70% of crops, with this residual control waning typically around March time. Ethylene (available as Restrain or SafeStore) can also be used to enhance dormancy well into the spring. But it’s at this point, Mr Cunnington says, that alternative

contact controls such as spearmint oil (Biox M) and the newly-approved orange oil (Argos) also come into play. He commented that Biox-M is probably the most widely used option, partly because it’s the more well-known of the three. It’s currently in its second year of use for the processed market, although it’s been effective within the fresh potato industry for over 10 years so far. Mr Cunnington reckons Biox-M is doing a decent enough job so far, and best practice lessons have been learnt when it comes to application, in particular the proper circulation of the product. The key to successful application, he says, is to avoid condensation and cold pockets, as the product will condense out if circulatory conditions are not right. However, he does point out that contractors are now well versed when it comes to application of this product, and are doing a good job as a whole. Orange oil became available to potato growers for the first time at

the end of 2021 following approval, and is being marketed by UPL under the name Argos. Mr Cunnington says that initial findings suggest it is not dramatically different to spearmint oil, in terms of its action on sprouting. However, as this product is still in its infancy on-farm, there is still research to be done and it’s a steep learning curve, especially when it comes to correct application for the most effective use – he did point out though that this is to be expected. The primary difference, he noted, is that the rate of Biox-M can be varied, whereas Argos orange oil is currently recommended at a set rate only according to the label. In relation to the ethylene options, Mr Cunnington explained that the gas is used on around a quarter of all crops within the potato storage industry. He says it does a good job where it is used appropriately but it is not a universal solution for potatoes destined for the processing market, due to its impact on fry colour in some varieties and circumstances.

However, it also gave one grower a timely opportunity to replace powdered formula soil treatments with a move across to Velum Prime (fluopyram) – a liquid nematicide formulation – to help him suppress root damage from free-living nematode (FLN) and reduce symptoms of tobacco rattle virus (TRV) on the 200–250ha of potatoes he farms annually in Staffordshire. Farmer Sam Daw, of WB Daw and Son, who manages the 1,600ha family farm which is based between Rugeley and Tamworth, saw the key benefits of a liquid formulation that is both easier to use than powdered or granular nematicides, and can be applied at lower dosage

rates when applied in-furrow or by broadcast spray. Mr Daw comments: “On hearing the news on Vydate and having decided to switch over to a liquid-only system, my first call was to Tom Neat, managing director at Techneat Engineering. I have known Tom for several years and, as well as purchasing four applicators from his company within the last 10 years, we have successfully collaborated on several other projects. He knows the potato industry extremely well and the firm has already successfully developed a number of applicators specifically aimed at potato growers. “In 2020, I first became aware that he was trialing a new applicator specifically designed to apply Velum Prime and other soil treatments simultaneously, so the decision to contact him was a no-brainer. “Purchasing the Velum Prime applicator in February 2021, we

initially set up the machine with a single dosatron chemical injection pump that mixes the Velum Prime but, following a difficult start to the season encountering Rhizoctonia solani, we then decided to upgrade to two dosatron pumps and two 10-litre chemical tanks, allowing us to apply Allstar (fluxapyroxad) for control of rhizoctonia simultaneously in-furrow alongside the Velum Prime. “Rear mounting the applicator on our GB215 Grimme 2-bed planter, set up was straightforward, with the applicator’s 220-litre water tank centrally positioned at the rear of the planter and all the pipework going forwards. The applicator is equipped with two 10-litre chemical tanks and two dosatron chemical injection pumps that mix the chemicals with water and pump it directly into the spray line, where it’s applied into the soil via two main outlets.

“Nozzles are mounted at the opener of the planter and are pointed backwards as we’re targeting the soil as it’s folded in around the potatoes as they’re planted. “One of the key benefits of the Velum Prime applicator is that it’s simple to use, quick to set up, and uses the same Garmin GPS electronic rate controller as other Techneat machines – cab-mounted and designed for easy output monitoring. There have been no maintenance issues to date and, providing you clean out both the tank and spray lines following use, there is very little else to go wrong. “After 220ha of planting last year, I can confirm that the new applicator delivers both Velum Prime and Allstar into the soil accurately and, if required, simultaneously. It does so without drift or reduction in nozzle pressure and has excellent anti-blockage properties. Importantly, for us as a business, it also frees up use of our sprayer, which we could have used to treat the potato beds prior to planting as an alternative system. “The cost benefits of reducing an additional pass, combined with the agronomic benefits of protecting our soil with a single-pass planting system are an added bonus,” concludes Mr Daw.

News Don’t bury your investment: The carbon friendly alternative to concrete Band spraying: Main nozzle (HD) and secondary nozzle (ND)

Ridge spraying: Main nozzle (HD) and secondary nozzle (ND)

‘Tilted’ sprayer nozzles caps for more effective application Horsch has developed ‘tilted’ sprayer nozzles caps for use in band application and improved wetting in ridge crops. Two variants are offered: a grey nozzle with 17.5 degree angle for a 10cm tilt, and a red nozzle with 8.75 degree angle for a 5cm tilt. Using a combination of straight and tilted nozzle caps offers a broad range of row width configurations. Each nozzle cap is equipped with an Agrotop RowFan 40-02 E nozzle including seal and nozzle inserter. The tilted caps are available for the spring

spraying season. Band spraying: In band spraying application with a 25cm nozzle spacing, the tilted nozzles allow the row width to be adapted by 5cm (red nozzles) or 10cm (grey nozzles). For example, in sugar beet, a row spacing of 45cm is possible. Ridge spraying: Another interesting advantage of these nozzle caps is that the combination of main nozzle (HD) and secondary nozzle (ND) with a nozzle spacing of 25cm, allows for a highly effective wetting of ridge crops.

Farm building projects: Who is responsible for insurance and what cover do you need?

It can be thrilling to invest in a farm building project, but it can be challenging to ensure everything runs smoothly, whilst allowing day-to-day activities to run as normal. A-Plan Rural advises that making sure you have the appropriate insurance in place and being aware of what your responsibilities are is essential to mitigating risks involved in the design, construction and handover process. These risks can result in millions of pounds worth of losses or damage. They can include risks in the construction process itself, workmanship or design failure (i.e. human errors), workers from different contractors needing to work in close proximity at the same time, as well as the farm environment. The necessary insurance covers are: • Employers’ liability (claims brought by employees) • Contract works (works in progress and materials on site) • Hired in plant (rented tools, machinery and other equipment) • Public liability (claims brought by members of the public) • Professional indemnity (for professional advisers – it covers them for compensation payable for rectifying mistakes). But where do responsibilities lie when it comes to insuring the project?

Joint Contracts Tribunal (JCT) Commonly, you as ‘the employer’ will have the building designed by an architect. A Plan Rural Insurance associate director, Ian Berry, urges farmers to do their due diligence: “You must check that the architect you commission for the project has professional indemnity insurance and verify this by obtaining copies of the relevant certification. Make sure it is fit for purpose by sharing with your insurance broker or a lawyer to check. “Once the building plans are finished, you would normally choose a construction company as the ‘main contractor’. The main contractor constructs the building, bringing in specialist subcontractors and professionals where necessary.” It is usually the main contractor’s responsibility to insure the project if the building is brand new. However, do not rely on a verbal or ‘handshake’ agreement – no matter what the scale of the project, get it in writing. Hire a lawyer before construction on the project begins, to draft a building contract. This should specify whose responsibility it is for insuring the works. The JCT is the main building contract in the

News UK and, depending on the nature of the project, there are various types available. However, the most common are the ‘Standard Building Contract’ and ‘Design and Build Contract’. The JCT, once agreed, should specify the main contractor as responsible for insuring the project. This will include any work commenced by professionals or subcontractors they employ. Ian went on to advise: “You must be sure to verify that the main contractor has the appropriate insurance cover, with adequate indemnity limits in place. This is critical, so ask to see the documentation as proof. Note that often, everything will be contained within a ‘contract works’ policy, and again, pass it through to a lawyer and your insurance broker. “Please do not commence construction until these parties have approved the insurance documentation, and the JCT contract is agreed and signed.” It’s worth also noting that if the building project includes work carried out on an existing structure, which has an existing value, then certain insurance responsibilities may fall solely or jointly (with the main contractor) to the farmer (or ‘employer’) named in the JCT. The main contractor will provide a certificate of final completion when construction is complete. At this point, the contract works policy automatically terminates so you must have standard property cover for the new building in place (you may be able to add this to your existing farm insurance policy).

‘Self-build’ construction projects If you choose to undertake the building works yourself, then it is your responsibility to make sure you have the correct insurance cover in place. This includes cover for any third parties (e.g. specialist tradespeople) you employ or equipment you use. Check your farm insurance policy, as it may provide cover for contract works up to a certain limit, including materials on site and works being undertaken until completion on an ‘all-risks’ basis. Some farm insurance includes automatic contract works cover up to a certain limit, which covers works in progress and materials on site until completion on an ‘all-risks’ basis. However, it is best to consult a specialist rural insurance broker or insurer before works begin to make sure the appropriate cover is in place and avoid delays. You may not be able to obtain cover once construction has begun. FG 86169

Most powerful battery chainsaw features at new products launch Stihl announced significant new products for professional users at an exclusive UK press launch and demonstration. David Williams was there. The event featured new hedgecutters, blowers, clearing saws and strimmers – all offering extra capability and performance over existing models – but the new MSA 300 battery-powered chainsaw was the star attraction.

Extra performance Stihl’s previous top-of-the-range MSA 220 batterypowered chainsaw was featured in the January edition of Farmers Guide, after it had impressed users during extended trials on three Suffolk farms working with its recommended 14in bar. However, the new MSA 300 comfortably upstages the previous flagship model with significantly more power, and it can also challenge petrol saws in the more popular 16in bar class. Despite having more power than the MSA 220, the MSA 300 can operate for 20–44 minutes between charges when partnered with the new AP 500 S battery – matching the available working time of the MSA 220 with the previous largest AP 300 S battery. With 3kW of power, the AP 500 S has 20% more capacity and provides 40% more output than the AP 300 S, and although it is recommended for the MSA 300 saw, it will also ensure optimum performance and the longest possible working times when powering any of Stihl’s other AP System cordless products.

Genuine 16in saw The MSA 300 has 2.5kW of mechanical output, and weighs 5.4kg with a 16in bar and chain, but without the battery. It is recommended for use with Stihl’s Light 04 guide bar and 0.325in RS Pro chains, with bar lengths from 14–18in. Bar and chain options are identical to the popular MS 261 C-M 50.2cc petrol model. Stihl rates the MSA 300 as a forestry, landscaping or arb saw for professional use, felling, delimbing and cutting wood to length. It has an effective anti-vibration system, and a comprehensive LED display showing chain brake position and the power setting as well as warning if the motor temperature becomes too high due to over-loading. If overheating occurs, then the power reduces by 30%, allowing cutting to continue rather than cutting out altogether. Unlike the MSA 220, the new MSA 300 has adjustable power output in three stages, allowing the user to select maximum chain speeds to suit the application. Maximum speed is 30m/ second, but standard speed is 24m/second, and a slower 20m/second setting maximises operating times between charges. continued over…

The highlight at Stihl’s press event was a new flagship cordless chainsaw for professional use. Recommended for working with a 16in bar, it is a direct challenger to popular mid-sized petrol models.

Professional use As a forestry saw, the sprocket cover and chain tension are held by a pair of captive nuts rather than the more convenient thumb adjuster arrangement employed on Stihl’s smaller cordless saws. The chain oiler is adjustable and an integral air cleaner below the battery compartment ensures effective air circulation for cooling and requires checking and cleaning once per week.

Telematics option The MSA 300 is supplied ready for use with Stihl’s Smart Connector 2A. The Smart Connector plugs directly into the saw’s control module and records working times, as well as operating mode and battery status. A smartphone app links to the Smart Connector by Bluetooth and provides a working history as well as warning when maintenance is due. When a smartphone isn’t connected, data is accumulated for down-loading later.

Head-to-head with battery equivalent An opportunity to try out the new MSA 300 saw also allowed direct comparison with the equivalent MS 261 C-M petrol model, fitted with an identical bar and chain. Experienced arborists at the event were extremely impressed, and many commented that the battery model’s performance exceeded that of the petrol machine in terms of cutting rate and productivity. The saw is well balanced and easy to handle, and it performed equally well cutting small diameter logs or larger trunk sections. Advantages compared to the petrol machine included reduced operating noise and vibration, reduced maintenance requirement and extra convenience with no fuel to mix or fill. The only complaint from those using the saw concerned an integral safety switch. Before using the saw the switch must be activated, then the user has three

The new MSA 300 has a digital display just in front of the rear handle which confirms the selected power mode and operating status and displays overheat and maintenance warnings. The socket to the left of the rear handle is the connection point for Stihl’s Smart Connector 2A which links the saw to a mobile phone app for remote monitoring.

seconds to commence cutting otherwise the switch resets automatically. This works well, but there is less time available between cuts before the system reenters safety mode if the lockout trigger isn't held, which meant users were constantly resetting the system. It has to be safe, but for professional users the system was considered over-sensitive.

Verdict The Stihl MSA 300 saw offers a genuine alternative to general-purpose petrol saws for general farm use and for firewood processing. Battery operating times are always a factor when considering changing from petrol to battery saws, and in most cases at least two batteries will be needed for working away from a mains supply for charging. Stihl’s AP System batteries are compatible with the company’s full range of cordless products – allowing maximum benefit to be gained from the investment. The new AP 500 S battery has

an exclusive laminated plate design to store and provide the power, and it can be charged up to 2,400 times before any significant drop in performance – equivalent to over three years of professional use charged twice per day. Partial charging and discharging will not affect the long-term performance. The new MSA 300 saw is available from this month, and with a 16in bar it carries a recommended retail price of £590 + VAT and comes with a two-year professional use warranty.

Most powerful petrol saw Other news regarding Stihl’s chainsaw line-up included the new MS 881. Launched last year, this is the world’s most powerful production petrol chainsaw. With a 121.6cc 2-Mix power unit rated at 8.7hp, the MS 881 is rated for use with Stihl’s 0.404in RS chain. The standard bar length is 36in, but recommended bars are from 30–41in.

A new HEXA chain was displayed for the first time. A specially designed hexagonal file is needed for sharpening which makes it easy to achieve the ideal tooth filing angle for maximum performance. Productivity up to 10% higher than standard chains is claimed.

Chain boosts performance Stihl allowed those attending the event to try the new MSA 300 battery saw, and to compare it to the popular MS 261 C-M petrol model. Both saws had identical 16in bars, and professional users concluded that the battery model (right) had slightly more cutting power.

Getting the best from a chainsaw depends on the chain design and how well it is maintained. Stihl has introduced new HEXA chains for models from the MS 362 C-M to the MS 661 C-M designed continued over…

to maximise productivity and to be easy to maintain. Key features include a new angled cutting profile instead of the conventional curve, and a narrower top kerf plate which is said to improve efficiency and increase productivity by up to 10%. Maintaining the extra cutting performance is achieved by using a bespoke file. The HEXA file can only be used in its correct orientation and has a smooth underside which rides on the chain links without causing wear. Attempts to sharpen the chain with the file held at incorrect angles proved unsuccessful at the demonstration, and even those with little chain sharpening experience should be able to achieve satisfactory results. Because only two sides of the file are used during sharpening, each file’s working life is limited, so Stihl recommends that, as a rough guide, files are replaced with every third chain fitted. However – the chain’s cutting design results in longer working times between sharpening so each chain’s working life is extended. The new HEXA chains come individually or in upgrade kits which include two chains and one HEXA file.

much quieter than current professional specification blowers. With an AR 3000 L backpack battery, operation for up to 2.5 hours between charges is possible. Blowing power is adjustable in three stages to extend operating time, and a boost mode provides additional power for tough clearing tasks. A curved nozzle is standard, and the tube length is adjustable to ensure an ideal operating angle. The BGA 300 will be available in time for autumn leaf clearing this year.

Backpack cordless sprayer The new SGA 85 battery-powered backpack sprayer has a 17-litre tank and weighs only 6.2kg empty, making it ideal for localised agricultural and horticultural weed control. The battery-powered pump avoids the noise and vibration of petrol-engine versions. All the controls are easily accessible beneath a hinged cover.

Safe strimming Stihl also announced its new RGA 140 cordless brushcutter at the event. This has a reciprocating blade, cutter head. At first glance the cutting head looks like a clearing saw, but it consists of a pair of toothed blades which operate with a reciprocating action. This reduces the risk of stones or other debris being thrown from the cutting area and allows use on gravel and against obstructions as well as in populated areas at distances down to only 5m from people and 3m from objects. Because the blades reciprocate; the front and side sections do most of the work, so the discs can be rotated periodically for maximum working life. The RGA 140 uses Stihl’s AP System batteries and has adjustable speed control with three settings allowing power to be matched to applications for maximum battery life. FG

The new RGA 140 cordless brushcutter features a reciprocating cutting head. Capable of cutting through dense vegetation, the reciprocating head can be used closer to people and vulnerable objects than conventional rotary heads without the risk of stones or other debris being thrown.

The BGA 300 backpack blower is quiet but incredibly powerful. Constant operation for up to 2.5 hours between charges is possible with Stihl’s AR 3000 L battery.

For heavy cutting conditions – the new FS 561 C-EM from Stihl is the most powerful clearing saw to date – with a 57.1cc 2 Mix petrol engine and a cutting head capable of accommodating blades up to 560mm cutting diameter. A chisel-tooth circular saw blade is supplied as standard.

New planter and bed former models available to demo now Following the successful launch of the new SR200 planter model, Standen Engineering is offering the opportunity to book demonstrations. The company’s new planter is an easy to set up, two-row, fast and accurate cup planter, Standen says. It includes a revolutionary new cup design that is capable of handling longer and larger seed – something that cup planters have traditionally struggled to do. Standen Engineering has also introduced a new model into its bed former range. The newest BX model features square bodies, which are perfect for light, sandy soils and

Increased production of tyres Ozka Tyres, which has its headquarters in Turkey covering an area of approximately 200,000m2 including three separate factories and warehouse facilities, increased its production capacity by 55% in 2021 and it has planned to increase the capacity by a further 14% this year. Operating in the agricultural and industrial tyre sector, Ozka’s wide range consists of approximately 700 products. The company has been exporting its high quality and performance products to the UK for more than six years, through its official distributor, Europa Tyres. Increasing its daily production capacity with its investment by putting new radial production lines into operation, the company is now aiming to reach about 40% of financial growth with daily capacity of 220t compared to the sales revenue of the previous year. Exporting to more than 80 countries worldwide, Ozka Tyres says it aims to keep customer satisfaction at the highest level by digitising its operational processes – making it more efficient, increasing the speed of logistics, and providing faster responses to customer demands, suggestions and complaints.

Cultivator perfect for min-till farm

For North Yorkshire arable farmer Matt Harrison, a combined disc and tine deep cultivator has brought new levels of efficiency to his farming system. A Kuhn Performer 4000 has given Mr Harrison time, fuel, and labour savings since he purchased it in the spring of 2021. It is the primary cultivator for the 600ha farm in Wistow, near Selby, and has helped him to improve soil health by reducing the use of his plough to just 40ha. Mr Harrison moved away from a ploughbased system in 2009, choosing a minimum tillage approach to improve drainage and soil health. The change has had the desired effect and the soil has been loosened, and he has significantly reduced the areas of the farm prone to holding water. He is part of the team at the Darrington branch of Ripon Farm Services and so carries out much of his cultivation work in the evenings and weekends. “I have been so grateful for the time savings the Performer has brought to the cultivation work on the farm. It is very easy to set up and requires far less maintenance than previous cultivators I have used. I don’t have to grease the legs and discs to prepare the machine which means I can take advantage of every opportunity I get,” he explains. This time and labour saving is due to the Performer having easy to change depth settings and fewer greasing points. “It also has a control box in the cab that makes life so much easier. Using just one spool I can control the whole machine and quickly make alterations for the changing land we have on the farm.” The machine is also helping to reduce the amount of fuel needed to prepare the land. When using a plough-based system, his tractor could use 600 litres of fuel in a 10-hour day and only cover 12ha. Whereas, with the Performer, the same tractor can cover 25ha. “We use a 2009 CAT Challenger. It is not the newest machine, but it is perfectly suited to the Performer and the cultivation work we do here. The fuel savings with a min-till system make a big difference. Especially with the recent rise in fuel costs.”

The land ranges from sandy soils to blue clay, and on the heaviest land he admits to still needing to plough. However, this is only 40 of the 600ha that are covered each year. In the past the sandy land caused machinery problems with cultivators blocking up with trash and soil which compromises the packer. “The trash flow is one of the biggest benefits of this machine. It doesn’t block up. In the past, when there has been left over straw at the end of rows, in oilseed rape stubble we have even had to use a flail, but the Performer goes straight through it.” Working at depths of 300mm, he has specified the cultivator with 50mm carbide tips rather than the larger 80mm alternatives. This was based on advice from his agronomist, who carried out pressure tests to establish which would be more efficient. “There was a negligible difference, and I have found the 50mm tips more than capable – especially at lower depths.” The land is often compromised by wet conditions and the soil can be tricky to work with. The Performer can be run without applying

the force of the packer. The packer can be lifted to allow it to float on top of the land in wet conditions and on softer soils. This has helped to improve drainage in some areas, which has been of significant benefit during some of the extremely wet spells the farm has experienced in recent years. Mr Harrison farms with his family, and together they have established that by using the Performer, three tractors can work in the same field simultaneously. “Last year we did 24ha in a day, starting with the Performer which was followed by a secondary pass and then a drill. I think that in the lighter soils we can drill directly behind the Performer because it does such a good job of preparing the land.” Unless the farm expands, he intends to keep the Kuhn machine for up to 10 years, despite previous cultivators not lasting more than five. “It is so much better built than others we have had here. At around 7t, it is built like a tank, and nothing will get in its way. It is the perfect fit for the farm and a pleasure to operate,” he concludes. FG

Improved on-road handling but slightly less capacity Late last year, Ford announced significant updates for its Ranger pick-up in a series of special editions. David Williams tried out the latest flagship Raptor SE. Ford’s Ranger is a popular choice for UK farmers, so changes or upgrades to the specification or appearance always attract interest. This was the case during visits to farms and contracting businesses during a week-long test drive of the latest Raptor.

Wide model choice For 2022, the Ranger line-up retains its established Single Cab, Super Cab, and Double Cab body styles, all with selectable 2 and 4wd. The specification level determines engine and transmission choice. The base XL is available in all body styles, with 2.0-litre EcoBlue 130 or 170hp engines and six-speed manual transmissions. The XLT with extra features is available in Super and Double Cab formats, with a 170hp engine and a six-speed manual transmission. Limited is the mid-spec option, with 170hp in the Super Cab version mated to a six-speed manual transmission, while the Double Cab has a choice of 170hp or 213hp engines, both with 10-speed auto transmissions. Top Wildtrack and Raptor specifications are Double Cab only, with 213hp and 10-speed automatic transmission.

Special editions The new special editions include the MS RT and the Wolftrak which come in Double Cab. The MS RT has the 213hp engine and 10-speed auto transmission, while the Wolftrak has the 170hp engine and a choice of engine and a manual transmission. The Stormtrak and Raptor

SE are Double Cab only and have the more powerful engine with automatic transmission as standard. The Raptor SE supplied for the Farmers Guide test features advanced coil spring suspension which provides an incredibly smooth ride even at high speeds over rough ground. The ride quality is far superior to standard versions with leaf springs, but a downside for many potential purchasers is the reduced 545kg maximum payload which means it won’t qualify for VAT relief. This means that most farmers and contractors will probably opt for the Stormtrak which shares the same engine and transmission and a similar interior, but it has leaf springs and carries loads up to 1,024kg, and tows trailers up to 3,500kg.

Farmers Guide test-drove the latest Ford Ranger flagship – the Raptor SE.

Power, capability, and comfort There is plenty of power from the 2.0-litre bi-turbo engine. With 500Nm of torque, the truck holds set speeds well without constant gear shifting. Acceleration to 62mph takes nine seconds, and 70mph is achieved in top gear at 1,700rpm. The Raptor SE is very quiet once cruising speeds are reached, but the engine sounds harsh when accelerating. Even with the load bed empty the ride quality is good, and with a maximum half-tonne pallet on board there is little difference to the handling or performance. Weather during the test week provided some slippery off-road conditions, but the Raptor’s large tyres gripped well and with the engine running at just over an idle speed and 4wd selected, the truck steered in and out of deep mud ruts with ease. continued over…

Practicality Like all Rangers, the Raptor is ruggedly built to withstand hard work, and the load bed comes with a tough liner for protection. The cargo area is up to 1,575mm long, and 1,560mm wide and the rear tailgate opening is 1,139mm. With long-travel suspension and larger 285/70R17 wheels and tyres, the Raptor SE has more ground clearance than other Ranger models for improved off-road performance, but a less convenient 900mm loading height. Handy tie-down points are included inside the bed and there are also full-length rails. A lockable sliding cover is standard. A tow hitch with a 13-pin electrical socket is included, and maximum towing capacity is 2,500kg, although all other versions except the 130hp XL tow 3,500kg.

The Raptor SE has a smart interior, and the comfortable leather seats and trim are practical and easy to wipe clean.

For those with extreme off-road conditions to navigate, the Raptor SE with its superior suspension, larger wheels and extra ride height might be a better option than other Ranger variants. Ground clearance is an impressive 283mm, and maximum wading depth is 850mm. Approach and departure angles are 32 and 24 degrees respectively.

Equipment and comfort The Raptor SE comes with smart, badged soft leather seats. The front seats are heated and have eight-way electric adjustment. There is plenty of head and leg room for taller drivers, and the seats are supportive and remain comfortable

during longer journeys. The rear bench seat is comfortable and leg room is adequate. The steering wheel is finished in soft leather, and, like the seats, it is easy to wipe clean. Overall, the Raptor SE features an attractive, quality trim and is well finished. Most controls are user-friendly and become quickly familiar, but the trip computer is fiddly, as are the mobile phone controls. A large central touch-screen controls navigation and media and displays images from the reversing camera. The menus are logical and easy to use. Storage includes a large central console with a tray and hinged lid, and a generous-size glovebox. The door pockets are large and there are several trays for smaller items. All-around vision is very good, and the side mirrors are heated and feature electric folding and adjustment. Puddle lights help avoid stepping into mud or manure when leaving the vehicle in the dark. All Rangers come with heated windscreens which clear ice quickly on frosty mornings. The heating elements are so thin that they are almost invisible and allow a clearer view than earlier versions.

Verdict The Raptor’s large doors open wide for access. The wide aluminium step below looks smart, but it becomes muddy in wet weather and it’s hard to avoid dirtying clothes when getting in and out of the vehicle.

The 2022 Ranger Raptor SE is comfortable and quiet and has plenty of room for up to five people, as well as a generous sized rear load bed. The lower rated carrying and towing capacities as well as implications for VAT status will be off-putting for many agricultural businesses, but

The load bed is a similar size to other double-cab models in the Ranger line-up, and just as tough and functional – but a different suspension set-up means carrying capacity is reduced to 545kg, with implications for reclaiming VAT.

similar high-specification versions in the range with standard rear suspension and the prized one tonne-plus load capacity will prove just as popular as previous year models. Fuel consumption from the 2.0-litre bi-turbo engine averaged approximately 28mpg during the week-long test, and on a long journey this rose to 31.8mpg – according to the trip computer. The 2022 Rangers are built for work, well finished and look smart, and if the Raptor’s reduced load capacity isn’t an issue, then it would be hard to find a more comfortable and attractive pick-up. List price for the Raptor SE is £45,000 FG

Battery-powered handler ticks the boxes One of the first battery powered JCB Loadall telescopic handlers to be supplied in the UK has started work at a large Cambridgeshire nursery. David Williams reports. The Loadall 525-60E shares similar operating capability to the popular and proven 525-60 diesel machine, including 2.5t lift capacity and maximum 6.0m maximum lift height. Wisbech-based Tamar Nursery produces and supplies trees and plants from two sites just a few miles apart. Most sales are to retail customers, but the nursery also supplies

landscaping businesses, and the trade. The electric Loadall was ordered last summer, and managing director Johan Huibers said it ticks all the right boxes for the operation. “We are self-sufficient in electricity and generate it from solar panels onsite. We already operate several electric-powered machines including a much smaller handler and they perform well, so when our existing Loadall was due to be updated – replacing it with the equivalent new battery version made sense,” he told Farmers Guide.

Convenient and environmentally friendly

The new 525-60E battery machine (left), replaced a 525-60 diesel model which had been operated by the business since 2019.

The new 525-60E is the fifth successive JCB Loadall operated by the business. Local main dealer Pecks has supplied and looked after all the machines, and area sales manager Matt Buddle said he believes that the 525-60E is ideal for the application. “There has been huge interest in the electric Loadall since it was announced in late 2020,” he said. “Diesel

models remain the preferred option for most farms currently, but there are situations where battery power is an advantage and these include where machines are working indoors, as well as where electricity is produced on-site and can be used for charging. Battery-powered handlers can also contribute to a company’s green credentials which is becoming a priority for businesses supplying wholesalers and large supermarkets and there are many of these in our trading area. “We believe the 525-60E will prove popular and we already have lots of requests for demonstrations. Technology is evolving all the time, and we hope to have a wider range of models and sizes in future so that we can offer the battery option to more customers.”

Not a converted diesel The electric Loadall offers identical performance to the 525-60, but dual electric motors separately continued over…

power the wheels and hydraulics, instead of the diesel engine. The main battery is under what would otherwise be the engine hood, and a separate 12V conventional battery provides power for the cab systems. An on-board 34kW charger allows the Loadall to be plugged in and charged from a three-phase supply in eight hours for a full charge, or five hours from 25% which better reflects predicted typical use. The Loadall’s lithium-ion battery is maintenance-free with a predicted 2,000-cycle working life while retaining 85% of its new capacity. After 5,000 cycles the capacity remains over 80%. Hydraulic power is from a 22kW motor driving an 80-litre/min gear pump. The wheels are driven by a 17kW motor. Power is recovered during deceleration to extend battery life, and there is no conventional front brake. The cab is also like the diesel machine, but the front, rear and right-hand windows are heated. The seat is also heated and there is a 2kW fan heater. Hydraulic functions are all through the main joystick and the operator can change direction using a shift lever by the steering wheel, or a joystick-mounted switch. The steering has three operating modes. Although the 525-60E boasts the same performance figures as its diesel sibling, there are situations where it out-performs it. The diesel engine’s maximum power is shared

The cab of the 525-60E is like the 525-60, but main operator Jake Fowler said that he prefers the revised control layout and believes the electric heater and three heated screens will offer advantages for cold weather operation.

between all the systems so in heavy working conditions as the revs reduce under load, the hydraulic performance becomes slower and there is less torque at the drive wheels. Even when the wheels of the battery machine require full power, the hydraulic performance is not affected. However, whereas multiple hydraulic functions can be carried out simultaneously on the diesel model such as when lifting and extending the boom and tipping the attachment – only single actions are possible

The main control display prioritises remaining battery capacity.

525-60 diesel handler has been excellent since its arrival in summer 2019,” explained production manager and main operator Jake Fowler. “We depend heavily on the handler. It’s used more than almost any other machine, and during almost 1,700 hours of operation in two and a half years, it has been almost totally reliable.” Jake commented that the electric model offers advantages. “It’s so much quieter and as half of its work is inside the buildings, it will be preferred by others working nearby. It will be safer as the driver can hear what’s going on around the machine, and the lack of diesel fumes will improve the working environment too.”

and six hours of operation is predicted before charging is needed, equivalent to more than a full day’s typical use for most applications. “That will be plenty for us and should meet our requirements even during the busiest periods,” confirmed Jake. Although the new Loadall is similar to the previous diesel machine, Jake said that he prefers the new cab design. “The main controls are similar, but others have been relocated from the front console to the right-hand panel which makes them more accessible. There is extra seat comfort and legroom. The electric cab heater and electrically heated windows

will be an advantage on cold mornings as they will remain clear from the start, whereas previously we had to wait for the diesel engine to warm up. “As soon as I tried the controls I found them more responsive, but they are more progressive too, and cycle times seem faster. Apart from the reduced operating cost and added convenience associated with powering the machine using electricity generated on site, the main advantage for us is the quiet operation. We didn’t try or even view the new 525-60E until ours arrived, but from what I have seen so far it will be ideal. I’m very happy with it.” FG

Jake stressed that he has no worries concerning reliability or the dealer back-up. “Our previous experience of Loadalls means we don’t expect problems, but if we need advice or if issues do occur, then someone from Pecks will be available to help. The sales and service teams are excellent.”

Automatic hitch investment boosts work rates and safety

Norfolk-based family contracting business, AJ Shorten Ltd, specialises in lime, manure, and fertiliser applications.

mounted spreader. Two identical John Deere 6215R tractors with front loaders are used for loading and spreading, and allow the father and son team to work simultaneously in different locations.

Obvious solution

A Norfolk spreading contractor who purchased two sets of Siwi Combi Hitches for his tractors and spreaders two years ago, says the investment has dramatically increased work rates and improved safety. David Williams saw them in action. Trading as AJ Shorten Ltd and based at Catfield, near Great Yarmouth, James and his son Ajay operate an agricultural contracting business which has been trading since it was set up by James’ father Alan in the 1970s. General field

work including ploughing and drilling are among the services offered, but for most of the year James and Ajay specialise in manure, lime, and fertiliser applications on farms in Norfolk and north Suffolk.

Self-loading Lime is applied through a 10t capacity Bredall trailed twin-disc spreader. Manure is spread using a Bunning 150 HBD 15t machine, and most of the granular fertiliser is applied through a Kuhn Axis

Two years ago, the Shortens invested in two Siwi Combi Hitch systems to improve their working efficiency, and now James says that he wouldn’t want to go back to working without them. Manufactured in Denmark, the Combi Hitch consists of a front section which is mounted to the tractor, and a rear section attached to the trailed implement. The hydraulic hoses, electric cables, the Isobus cable and the PTO shaft connect and disconnect automatically in just a few seconds without the operator leaving the tractor cab. The Combi Hitch can be fitted or removed completely in just 15 minutes, for the tractor to work with conventional trailers or threecontinued over…

point linkage mounted implements. The Siwi hitch is imported and sold by KRM Ltd, and available through all dealers holding the KRM franchise. One set of tractor and trailed implement sections with a PTO connector costs approximately £21,000.

System change needed “We spread up to 40 loads of lime per day, and that used to mean climbing up and down the cab steps 80 times until we had the Siwi hitches,” explained James. “With wet or muddy boots, that’s the situation when we are most likely to slip or fall, and after loading lime we bring dust into the cab and if we are spreading manure then that is carried in on our boots. “Attaching the PTO shaft is often fiddly, and connecting and disconnecting all the hoses and cables is hard work when it has to be done so many times each day – especially when everything is splashed with mud. When we looked at what we were doing, it was clear we needed something different.”

Five seconds to connect Hitching up to the KRM Bredall spreader using the Siwi hitch takes

less than five seconds, and James has only to reverse the tractor up to the coupling then activate the in-cab control box and 11 hydraulic hoses and five electric cables as well as the PTO shaft all connect automatically. “It’s a very clever piece of kit,” he continued. “With just one operator using one tractor with the loader and spreader, we achieve similar daily work rates as if there were two operators plus an additional tractor for loading. Our whole operation has become far more efficient and without having to repeatedly climb in and out of the cab all day there is less operator fatigue which means mistakes are less likely. We estimate that on a good day the hitches increase our productivity by up to 20% and we feel less tired too.”

Increased work rates and improved safety have been achieved through investment in a pair of Siwi Combi Hitches for the family’s two John Deere 6215R tractors plus a Bunning manure spreader and KRM Bredall lime spreader.

Pricey but worth it James said that during their first two years’ use, the Siwi hitches have proved extremely reliable and always couple correctly. “We remain delighted with the system and wouldn’t be without the hitches now. They aren’t cheap, but for our type of work they make a huge difference, and there aren’t many things that we could invest in which would provide such benefits to our working efficiency in return.” FG

When the trailed spreader is unhitched during loading, the front section of the Combi Hitch remains on the tractor, and the rear section stays with the spreader. When loading is finished, the loader tractor is reconnected to the spreader including the hitch, PTO shaft, Isobus link, five electrical cables and 11 hydraulic hoses in less than five seconds, without the operator leaving the cab.

Managing SARA: A cost-effective solution

As milk yields continue to rise in the UK, with many herds achieving over 10,000 litres per cow, it is even more important for farmers to guard against the risk of sub-acute ruminal acidosis (SARA). High volumes of milk production require more energy, and farmers are feeding a high starch, low fibre diet to achieve it, but the downside of this is the impact on microbial activity in the rumen. Ruminant animals are dependent on microbes to ferment fibre-rich forages including grass and silage. Microbial activity is most efficient at neutral pH, but the rapid fermentation of starch and sugar in these high energy diets speeds up acid production. This lowers pH and causes SARA. It is believed that around a quarter of cows in the UK suffer from SARA. One of the problems is that SARA often goes unnoticed as symptoms could easily be mistaken for other things. The key signs to look out for are a reduction in feed intake, which leads to loss of body condition and lower milk volumes; cows scouring, with undigested fibre and grain easily visible in the dung; and lameness.

Sodium bicarbonate vs alternatives One of the most common ways of managing SARA is to add a buffer or alkaliser to the feed, to compensate for reduced saliva secretion in cows that are fed a low-fibre diet, neutralising excess rumen acidity. In the UK there is a wide range of feed additives on the market, many based on sodium bicarbonate, which is effective for very low rumen pH or for neutralising low pH silage, but it has to be fed at relatively high rates (up to 250g/cow/ day). Sodium bicarbonate is also very soluble, which means it is quickly eliminated from the rumen and so can’t provide any long-term effect. Omya has developed a solution to SARA which also allows the farmer to improve the cost profile of the feed

CUMBRIA CONCRETE PRODUCTS LIMITED

and its content. Used as an alternative to products containing sodium bicarbonate, OmyaFeed C MgO is made from micronized calcium carbonate with magnesium oxide added and can be used as a curative or preventative measure for SARA. OmyaFeed C MgO can be incorporated into a concentrated feed mix at a much lower rate, with only 130g needed per cow per day, compared with 325g of the commonly used sodium bicarbonate, calcium carbonate and MgO mix. This leaves almost 200g space in the ration which can either be used to add other feedstuff or to reduce the overall cost.

Trial results OmyaFeed C MgO is a cost-effective rumen buffer that also provides

a readily available source of calcium and magnesium nutrition. Independent trials at the Institute of Agrifood Research & Technology (IRTA) in Spain, found that the product compares favourably with the standard sodium bicarbonate mix. Cows supplemented with OmyaFeed C MgO spent fewer days with pH lower than 5.8 than those supplemented with sodium bicarbonate, without affecting milk yield or fat content. Milk proteins were also higher in the cows fed with OmyaFeed C MgO, giving a better fat: protein ratio. The IRTA trial also looked at calcium and magnesium absorption, which is important because when cows are suffering from SARA their uptake of calcium and magnesium slows down. The trial results show that whilst calcium intake was lower in the cows fed with OmyaFeed C MgO, there was no significant difference in the amount of calcium digested. For magnesium, the intake was marginally higher, but the absorption difference was significant – 60% more than with the conventional mix. OmyaFeed MgO is made from micronized, ultrafine particles compacted into a low dust formulation which can be incorporated into the ration without segregation or settling. The huge surface area means it is quickly absorbed in the rumen, effectively preventing SARA whilst also creating space in the ration. OmyaFeed costs around 6p per cow per day, providing a cost-effective solution that improves animal welfare and maximises both the yield and quality of the milk produced. OmyaFeed C MgO is available in 25kg sacks or 600kg big bags for ease of handling on farm. For more information contact Omya UK animal nutrition technical manager David Bonsall directly. FG

U-turn on milk fat dip at grass The grazing season can be a double-edged sword when it comes to milk quality. A typical milk fat seasonal pattern sees a drop between May and November of 0.27%, with a low of 0.3% in July, AHDB data shows. “The biggest drop is typically seen early in the grazing season, but depressed milk fats can prevail right through the summer,” says Philip Ingram, Cargill’s ruminant technology manager. In financial terms this equates to 44p/cow/ day and 30p/cow/day on average throughout the season, based on an average cow yielding 26.5 litres a day and a typical milk contract. This totals £46/cow for the season – or £4,600 for 100 cows. “And this will be more extreme with some milk contracts,” adds Dr Ingram. Young, green and leafy grass poses the

greatest risk. It has lower structural fibre, so digests quicker; higher sugar content, which can create acidic rumen conditions; and it is higher in oil than later season grass. “In spring and early summer, the oil content in grass is 50% richer in unsaturated fats than a typical winter ration.” This creates a ‘perfect storm’ in the cow’s rumen, which disrupts the usual pathways used by the cow to produce milk fat. Cargill has invested in a solution that tackles the potential problem of depressed milk fats before it happens, and developed a specialised

rumen buffer, Equaliser Cream. “Unlike trying to maintain milk fats by using C16 fat products based on palm oil, Equaliser Cream addresses the root causes of milk fat depression head on. “Introduced in 2021, this product has reliably maintained milk fats through the season by targeting the cause and reducing the impact of the high oil content of grass on milk fat.” Data from 17 herds where Cream was used at feed rates between 75–150g/cow/day in diets and grass made up between 0–70% of the diet all had positive results. “Those feeding Cream before experiencing a milk fat drop in spring had the best results,” adds Dr Ingram. “They remedied any drop and saw an average improvement in May of 0.41% milk fat. Those adding Cream where milk fat had started to dip saw a benefit within seven days with an average uplift of 0.31% which continued over the next few weeks with an average milk fat increase across the month of 0.52%. “Although spring is the high risk period, many other conditions can cause the same rumen conditions and milk fat dips can be seen. These can include situations where cows are grazing lush grass in a re-seeded sward, or the aftermath after silage cutting and after nitrogen application, or where grass covers are lower during cold snaps and droughts, that all create similar conditions in the rumen.” The cost-effective success of a specialised rumen buffer means farmers can look forward to the ‘pros’ of high energy and protein in grazed grass, and counter the ‘cons’ associated with a decline in fat. FG

Last season feeding Equaliser® Cream improved milk income on UK farms by £1490 per month*, with an average uplift in milk butterfat of 0.31% within 7 days and 0.52% within 1 month of feeding.

Top tips for stress-free calving Moocall provides some guidance on making life a little less stressful during busy calving seasons, and some essentials to have on hand. When preparing for calving, consider the following: Minerals: Administer a mineral bolus or dust minerals on silage 6–8 weeks before calving. Correct mineral status helps prevent difficult calvings, metabolic disorders and retained placentas, and helps produce lively, vigorous calves that

want to get up and suck. Get calving pens ready: Clean out, disinfect, and bed calving pens with a fresh layer of straw. Calving gate: A calving gate is essential – consider getting one installed or if you have one, make sure the head locking mechanism is working correctly before calving starts.

Colostrum: If you don’t have any colostrum saved from last year, stock up on some colostrum substitute. Use empty milk cartons to store and freeze any colostrum you are able to gather from the first few cows that give birth. Clip cows’ tails: New-born calves are more likely to pick up infection when suckling an udder that is dirty. Electrolytes: Scouring calves can get dehydrated very quickly so have electrolyte powder in store. Have your Moocall Calving Sensor ready: The sensor monitors cows 24/7 and notifies you when calving starts. Calf mortality can be greatly reduced by being present to assist if need be. If there is nothing calving, avoid fatigue from constantly checking cows and get a good night’s sleep when you can! Calving equipment: Make sure your calving jack is working correctly and that you have two sets of clean calving ropes. Equipment checklist: • Iodine spray • Calving gloves • Lubricant gel • Stomach tube • Colostrum/colostrum substitute • Moocall Calving Sensor.

Key things to avoid are: Assisting cows too early when the cervix hasn’t fully dilated: More often than not when given time, cows will be able to calve by themselves. The less you intervene the better; pulling a calf before the cow is dilated can lead to injury and bruising and also puts huge stress on the calf. A Moocall Calving Sensor will pinpoint when calving begins. Incorrect body condition score (BCS) at calving: Too high and the cow’s birth canal can be laden with fat, making it difficult to calve; too low and the cow may lack the energy required to give birth. Cows calving in spring should have a target BCS of 2.5. Using the calving jack incorrectly: Only use if necessary; try not to intervene if you can while the cow is calving. Remember the jack can exert the same pulling force as six people so needs to be used with caution to avoid injury. Only apply force while the cow is pushing. Inadequate hygiene: Regularly clean out and disinfect calving pens to help avoid calves picking up scours or other infections. Treating and dealing with sick calves while in the middle of calving is an unwanted headache. For more information on calving call Moocall directly or visit www.moocall.com FG

Diet feeder evolves with new range to boost efficiency Keenan takes renowned MechFiber diet feeder to the next level and launches MechFibre+ amid rising input costs, to drive even greater feed efficiency on farm. Designed over 40 years ago, the Keenan MechFiber paddle feeder is renowned for the evenly, thoroughly mixed, light and fluffy ration it produces, as well as its simple and low maintenance design and build quality. To help livestock farmers achieve even greater nutritional performance, a number of small but significant changes have been made to the MechFiber system and rolled out from March. All models will be included in the new MechFiber+ range which will replace the original range by the summer. General manager UK and Ireland James Brough said speaking to farmers revealed the consistency and thoroughness of the mix quality was “sacrosanct”. Commenting on the MechFiber mix he said: “This mix improves herd health, productivity and helps farms reduce methane emissions through increased feed efficiency.” Mr Brough added: “However, with input costs only going one way, we knew we had to take our MechFiber machine to the next level. Further refining the quality and consistency of the MechFiber mix will help to drive even greater feed efficiency on farm compared to that which we already see.” Keenan engineers further improved mix quality and consistency by re-engineering the paddle castellations, which have been re-shaped to give a rounded top section, and the rake angle has been increased to allow for greater material movement in the chamber. This has resulted in less material residing on the paddles, an

improved tumbling action with less friction, and an improved mix with less wear to the mixing chamber. The resulting MechFiber mix proves more consistent than ever before and trials have shown a reduction in horsepower requirement. Lights have been added to the feed-out door, giving operators improved visibility during mix discharge, especially when ambient lighting is low. Specially moulded, durable black pods house these new lights to ensure protection during use and storage. Farmers can also opt for a wider feed-out door to increase the speed of feed-out, and new-style optional mudguards can be fitted to reduce the risk of corrosion. The range has a new, fresh look with specifically moulded black pin seal matt finish front covers. The rear ladder is made from sleek tubular steel that is less prone to damage, more user-friendly and collapsible. Models in the MechFiber+ range can be enhanced with the new fourth generation Keenan Controller, feed management app and InTouch dashboard, all of which won the Enterprise Ireland Innovation Award in September. Combined, these give farmers full oversight and control of feeding data in real-time, at the touch of a button. The new Controller includes key visual mechanical telematics such as an oil level indicator, temperature sensor, chain tension status indicator and feed-out door status indicators for easier maintenance and trouble-free operation.

Mainly grassland, it also grows 40-60 acres of wholecrop to feed to cows and youngstock and the herd averages 8,500 litres/cow. Working closely with local vet Callum Cameron has been very beneficial, Mr Owen said. Potstown currently rears calves in a shed which comes with certain limitations, Mr Cameron noted, but recording birth weight and growth weights every two weeks, plus testing colostrum levels for every calf born has been very valuable. Colostrum is measured before freezing, which is done as cleanly as possible, ready to be thawed when needed and tested again with a Brix refractometer. Calves are generally stomach tubed in the first four hours. Bucket feeding means they struggle to get as much powder in as they’d like – averaging around 750g/calf/day at 150g concentration – but historically they have seen increased scouring when trying to push more milk powder, so Mr Cameron said there are concerns over rumen drinking and he is keen for them to switch to teat feeding. Looking at data from SRUC surveillance centres in Scotland,

SRUC’s veterinary centre manager Colin Mason said it was a surprise to see rumen drinking listed in the top 10 most common causes of mortality in pre-weaned dairy calves. The cycle of rumen drinking can begin at birth, in which case intravenous bicarbonate administered by vet can help. Teat feeding can slow down drinking speeds, avoiding the problem of milk spilling over into the rumen. If feeding individual calves, feeding 1 litre then another 2 litres can also slow the process down. Rumen drinking can be a vicious cycle – the more milk ends up in the rumen, the more acid is produced, meaning the oesophageal groove works poorly, leading to more milk in the rumen, and more acid being produced. It’s important to stop this cycle before it gets out of control, Mr Mason said. William Fleming, of Hillhead Farm, said he was previously unaware of rumen drinking until a recent AHDB farm meeting but he has since switched to teat feeding, and while it is early days, he has found calves are more vibrant. Commenting on how much colostrum to give, Mr Mason recommended 10% of bodyweight in the first six hours. In terms of milk/ milk powder, Jimmy Goldie, of Carrs Billington, recommended 5–8 litres/ calf/day in a minimum of two feeds, though suckled calves will drink much more, and 750g–1kg total milk powder per calf per day. Starter feed should be available ad lib from

day one to ensure calves get used to it. There will be minimal intake in the first two weeks, rising to up to 1.5kg/head/day by weaning, and although calves are not able to digest a lot of forage, a little should be added as a scratch factor for rumen development. Mr Goldie favours straw (around 100g is sufficient) as feeding higher nutrient value forage tends to cause pot bellies. Research also shows calves with free access to water eat 31-60% more dry matter; gain 38% more weight from birth to four weeks; have 31% higher average daily weight gain from 0–10 weeks of age; and have fewer scour days. In fact, each extra litre of water leads to a 56g increase in weight gain per day.

Variations in growth rates Potstown data shared during the webinar showed growth rates are

mixed – with most calves reaching their target weight, some doing very well, and some outliers at 0.2–0.3kg growth rate/day. Mr Mason questioned whether the outliers could be a sign of early or sub-clinical disease. Mr Cameron said his practice actively encourages the use of calf jackets for at least 2–3 weeks if the ambient temperature is below 10ºC. Calves below the lower critical body temperature of 8ºC will be burning energy to keep warm – and if there is any dampness or drafts, the LCT will only increase. Potstown are now using jackets on all of their calves following a successful early trial; when every other calf was given a calf jacket, those with jackets had much higher growth rates. Mr Cameron also plans to scan all weaned calves’ lungs to check for sub-clinical pneumonia, which could explain some of the lower growth rates on the farm. Dairy farmers are well aware that a cow’s future productivity and profitability is set in the first few weeks and months of life and a lot can be gained by getting them off to a good start. Monitoring growth rates and performance and ensuring adequate nutrition to support growth and rumen development, can be key to making improvements. FG

Top tips for tackling heat stress The optimum ambient temperature for dairy cows is between -5 and 18°C, says Gary Walker of Dalton Engineering, UK distributor of Vostermans Multifans. Cows can suffer from heat stress even at 19°C in combination with high humidity, which is often seen in the UK. When heat stressed, cows start drinking more, sweat and pant and produce more saliva – all of which causes moisture loss and can lead to reduced rumen pH. Heat stressed cows stand for up to two hours more per day in an attempt to lose heat. During periods of heat stress, feed intake is reduced by 8–12% or more, which reduces the production of volatile fatty acids in the rumen, resulting in reduced milk production. Decreased fertility and an increase in embryonic loss, lameness and clinical mastitis are also often seen. Solutions include increasing the amount of water available for your herd; providing shade to reduce heat gain from solar radiation; and using fans and possibly soakers to provide

cooling to the cow. Ventilation is key: Move high speed fresh air over the cows to aid heat loss through convection • Target the collecting yard due to a high density of cows and heat • Target the resting area. The goal is to decrease standing times and increase lying times • Fans at the feed barrier also help to dissipate heat. FG

A cost-effective, sustainable approach to fly control

Common fly control pitfalls

Flies can cause substantial production losses and welfare issues on livestock farms. Max Hardy, of Rutland Vets, provides guidance on prevention and management, and explores the option of biological control coupled with traditional pour ons. The economic consequences of flies can be serious, resulting in reduced feed intakes, daily liveweight gains and milk yields. From a disease perspective, key concerns in cattle are bovine keratoconjunctivitis (New Forest eye), summer mastitis and mastitis in dry cows and heifers; while in sheep, maggots are of course a serious ongoing problem. Since last year, Rutland Vets has been working with dairy farms to introduce biological fly control, which involves establishing a natural parasitic wasp species to kill flies before they hatch. With the drive to use medicines more sustainably, a growing number of UK veterinary practices are offering this in conjunction with traditional pour ons. As there are different predators for different substrates, a vet will need to visit the individual farm to assess the environmental conditions before picking the right biological agent to control those areas. This is particularly suitable for farms with housed cattle as you can focus on wet areas under water troughs etc where you can actually implant

the natural predators. “The aim is ultimately to get better use out of your pour ons in a more sustainable approach to prevention,” Mr Hardy said. Set-up costs will be higher in the first year as the parasite population needs to get established, but the hope is it will then be self-perpetuating to a certain extent, though it’s likely that annual top-ups will be needed. The cost of biological control in the initial year is similar to three pouron applications, according to costings worked out by Rutland Vets, but this should reduce over time. Overall, the cost over a year will be roughly the same with biological control as with traditional pour ons, but fly control will be improved, meaning better returns, Mr Hardy said. When it comes to pour ons, Rutland’s drug of choice is Spotinor spot-on Solution for Cattle & Sheep. Positives of this particular product include ease of application and safety, as well as cost effectiveness. Plus, while some drugs claim to offer longer lasting effects, these require three times the volume to be applied, Mr Hardy explained. Spotinor also has a wide range of uses

Applying products too late: Waiting until fly numbers are high, especially in colder years, will “always lead to disappointment”, Mr Hardy said. All synthetic pyrethroid pour ons must be used preventatively – they are fly killers not fly repellents, he added. “The crucial thing for any fly prevention is to get in early in the fly season – at the end of April/beginning of May – to control populations by reducing the adults through the insecticide effect. “Once you’ve got an established fly population, so many larvae will be hatching every day, no matter how much product you apply, you’ll still have a fly issue.” Proper restraint: Treatment failures often come down to a failure to apply correctly, or early enough. Animals don’t need to be in the crush but must be well confined in a race, rather than a pen, to ensure the product is getting down the middle of the back and not running down one side. Reading operating instructions and following safety guidance are also key. Treat all animals at the same time: It may be tempting to save money by treating only the most at-risk animals or fields, but flies will still be breeding off the untreated animals, so environmental populations will build up. Choose the right fields to graze the highest risk cattle: “We certainly see repeated eye problems in the same fields,” Mr Hardy said. Avoid putting the most at risk into the worst fields, for example young calves will be more prone to eye issues and heifers are at higher risk of summer mastitis if autumn calving.

in the licences for cattle and sheep and can be repeated as needed for fly control. In terms of environmental management, it’s also important to fence off water-logged areas and get muck away as quickly as possible, with good slurry and muck storage systems kept away from main animal buildings. Utilising TB testing and other opportunities when animals are being handled anyway to apply products is also helpful. For more information on better fly control, speak to your vet. FG

How to get the best from your FEC Westpoint Farm Vets offers some top tips on best practice for faecal egg counts. Internal parasitism represents one of the greatest issues in grazing livestock worldwide. Controlling these parasites has become a serious concern, particularly in small ruminants, due to anthelmintic resistance. Resistance to all three classes of broad-spectrum drugs now occurs in the major internal parasites of ruminants globally. When considering whether to worm, faecal egg counts (FECs) should always be performed and interpreted in conjunction with farm management and parasite control practices to tailor treatments. FECs are useful and often essential for investigating failure of lambs/calves to reach production targets, or as diagnostic tests for the clinical examination of ill-thrift, scouring or anaemic animals. FECs can be used to monitor parasite control programmes,

including grazing management programmes and assessment of anthelmintic resistance. The most appropriate egg counting method, number of samples required, and interpretation of results depend on the nature of the problem. Control measures must be tailored to the specific situation, so faecal samples should always be accompanied by a detailed history of the group of animals, including: age; stage of life (pregnant, dry, etc.); list of treatments previously administered and timing; results from previous FECs; and concurrent pathologies, namely Johne’s and skin disease.

How to collect a faecal sample from an individual (not applicable to very young animals):

• •

Using a glove, apply lubricant to index and middle fingers Insert fingers into the rectum

• • •

of the animal to collect 5-ish grams (around 5–6 pellets in an adult sheep) Peel the glove off your hand keeping the faecal sample encased within it Twist the wrist portion of the glove, make a knot and label (farm and animal ID) Store the sample in the refrigerator until it can be analysed (the sooner the better, but can be stored in the refrigerator for a week).

Objective

Collecting samples from a group for pooled testing:

• • •

Choose a selection of animals representative of the group Leave them on clean hard standing for at least 30 minutes Collect a tablespoon size sample from at least five separate pats and keep individually or in a bag to be used as a pooled sample. Your vet is likely to be able to conduct testing and advise on treatment relevant to your herd or flock. FG

Compact tractor range is “the livestock farmer’s friend” Strongly built, manoeuvrable and comfortable to drive, the Kioti DK20 tractor range is the ideal tool and partner for livestock operations, Kioti says. The range has 45, 50 and 60hp models with mechanical or hydrostatic transmission. The mechanical transmission model has 16 forward and reverse gears including creep. Forward and reverse movement is made using a manual shuttle lever beside the steering wheel. The reliable HST models are three range twin pedal, making the units very easy to operate, according to the manufacturer. As compact tractors, DK20 series models have a lighter weight and smaller dimensions than larger chassis ag built models – giving easier access to some of those tighter areas found in some traditional livestock yards. The rear linkage maximum lift of 1,717kg shows this is not a compromise with strength and

Compact tractor eases workload for Devon farm Family-run dairy farm, Jenirens, based near Honiton, purchased an Iseki TG when they decided they needed a small run-around tractor to ease their workload – one that was simple and easy to drive, manoeuvrable and powerful, to be used for yard scraping, feeding and strawing sheds. Farm-hand Martin Hinchcliffe says the TG is “brilliant” for use around the yard in winter, working within the sheds thanks to its compact size, and it’s used as the run-around tractor in summer. Its smaller size and lightweight footprint means

it can be used across the fields year-round to fix fencing and carry out maintenance without too much damage. A key feature is the IQ clutchless gear change transmission. “It’s so easy to just change direction when manoeuvring around the tight sheds with smooth changes up and down the gearbox, whilst the hydraulic arm lift lever is all close to hand, making it effortless to operate when muck scraping up and down the sheds. You can also easily switch from 2wd to 4wd if needed for difficult areas with the touch of a lever. “I would recommend the TG tractor range for any dairy farm, it’s a handy little tractor, if you have a small tight yard the turning circle is brilliant on it, I can swing in around my tight buildings with no problem, even with the 4wd engaged.” FG

COMPACT AND MANOEUVRABLE

Q&A: Lameness

Livestock editor Sarah Kidby spoke to Hannah Fitzsimmonds at LLM Farm Vets, part of Vet Partners, about reducing risks of digital dermatitis (DD) in dairy herds.

What are the key risk factors? A: Carrier cows, poor foot bathing practices and foot hygiene. Some cows in the herd will have chronic DD and may not be showing signs of lameness but act as a reservoir of bacteria. One way these bacteria can be spread between cows is direct contact; predominantly via hoof trimming equipment. If you touch a DD lesion whilst trimming, the treponemes can survive for around two hours on the knives. Wet feet, commonly caused by cows standing in slurry, are far more susceptible to infection with treponemes as the skins’ defence is poorer when wet. Slurry management within the cubicle shed, but also in other areas such as the collecting yard, is a big risk factor.

What are some of the most common pitfalls you see?

What adjustments would you recommend to reduce these risks?

A: Incorrect foot bathing (inadequate frequency, wrong dilution, or poorly designed bath); poor hygiene in housing (conditions that lead to wet and dirty feet, e.g., pooling of slurry at crossovers or infrequent scraping out); and lack of quarantining for new arrivals – this risks introducing a different DD strain which may be more aggressive or less responsive to treatment.

A: Correct foot bathing protocols are so vital. When designing a protocol, it isn’t as simple as picking a chemical and diluting it down correctly; we need to be looking at the dimensions of the bath itself, the cleanliness of the feet and environment around the bath and the cow flow through it. You may be using the best chemical out there at the right dilution rate, but if the cows are walking through a bath that isn’t deep enough to reach the DD lesions, with feet covered in muck from a dirty walk into it, and then rushing through and not making enough contact, the solution won’t

have been effective. It is also important that all categories of animals, including dry cows and pregnant heifers, are included in the protocol. Carry out a footbath assessment with your vet to optimise this DD control point. Looking at foot trimming hygiene, disinfection of hoof knives between cows is an easy adjustment. Having the blade submerged in an approved disinfectant (2% Virkon, 2% sodium hypochlorate being two options) for 20 seconds has been shown to kill treponemes and therefore will reduce transmission of DD between cows. Keeping housing as clean and dry as possible will also promote better defence. This can be achieved through regular scraping, even concrete with no ‘holes’ where slurry will sit, dry bedding and good cow comfort to encourage cows to lay down off the passages. There is also a genetic link to DD resilience; consider this when making breeding decisions. If there is high DD incidence, consider a ‘digi blitz’ treatment protocol to reduce the treponeme reservoir. Discuss this with your vet for more details. FG

Balers & Bale Handling The 1290XD or 'Extra Density' model in the Fendt square baler range.

Power on the land The topic of this month’s Power on the Land is balers and bale handling, brought to you as always by Mike Williams. A new name arriving in UK fields this summer is Knoll, a company based in Holland and specialising in balers and bale wrappers. It began making machinery in 2001, when it introduced a wrapping machine for small conventional bales to meet the needs of equestrian centres and hobby farms.

produce wrapped bales of loose materials such as chopped maize and grass, and they are also used to bale and wrap some waste materials. The Multibaler’s overseas sales success has helped to boost Knoll’s list of export markets to more than 60 countries. Kuhn is not a new name on UK farms, as the French-based company

This baler-wrapper combination made by the Knoll company in Holland will be available here this year.

Product development continued at Knoll, and in 2008 the new MiniVario Combi baler and wrapper combination was added to the product range, making small wrapped bales measuring 90 x 85cm. This is larger than the company’s original mini bale wrapper, bringing improved handling efficiency and work rates, but it is still small enough to be handled manually through doorways and the entrance to pens, and the MiniVario Combi also needs only one operator for the complete baling, wrapping and discharge sequence. The Knoll product range also includes Multibalers developed to

has been a popular choice for many years with round and big square baler customers. There are five square baler models, starting with the LSB870 making 80 x 70cm bales with a single knotting system, and the others all have double knotting. They include the SB890, which makes 80 x 90cm bales and the range-topping SB1290 bale size is 120 x 90cm, using design features to maintain optimum bale density. A special performance feature on Kuhn’s range-topping VB7100 series variable chamber round balers is that the tailgate is claimed to have the fastest cycle times available,

helping to increase output in the field with 30t per hour work rate attainable. Two VB7100 models are available, both with a 230cm pick-up reel width and offering densities up to 140kg/m3 in straw. Krone offers one of the biggest baler choices available, with more than 30 different models, starting with two entry level Bellima fixed chamber models making bales with 1.4m diameter. Pick-up reel width is 1.4m on the Bellima F125, increasing to 1.8m for the F130 model, and both balers have a modest 34hp minimum tractor requirement. Special design features on Vari Pack and Vari Pack Plus ranges include a 1.9m maximum bale diameter, the pick-up reels do not have a cam track, and the XC crop chopping system can have up to 26 blades. Krone’s round baler category also includes the Comprima and Comprima Plus baler and wrapper combinations, with up to 1.5m bale diameter and available with the XCut chopping system using 17 or 26 knives, plus the camless pick-up reel. The top model in Krone’s square baler range has a 120 x 130cm chamber size and the crop cutting options can include 51-blade cassettes. This year’s new arrival in the Kubota baler range is the BF3500 model, using a fixed chamber to make 1.25m diameter bales. The standard specification includes a 2.3m pick-up equipped with twin cam tracks and five tine bars, and a cutting unit with 19 knives is available. Kubota’s fixed chamber round balers also include the FB1000 model featuring non-stop baling, achieved by using a prechamber. Avoiding the need to stop for wrapping and releasing achieves an estimated 15–18 second time saving on each bale made. For variable chamber customers, Kubota offers

the BV5160 and BV5200 models, and both feature an updated specification including pick-up reel improvements to increase efficiency and the drive chains to the pick-up and to the main chamber are strengthened. Three different bale core densities can be selected from the cab, cutting units with 14 or 25 knives are available and the balers can be supplied in net or net-plus-twine versions. Plus, versions are offered as a Flexiwrap baler and wrapper combination. Recent Case IH baler developments include a new high output model at the top of its square baler range. The recently introduced LB436 HD baler is claimed to have a 40t/hour work rate – a 15% increase compared with the previous LBXL baler series – and this is partly due to a 22% increase in the maximum bale density. The minimum power requirement is 250hp, and the new performance features include a two-speed gearbox. The New Holland baler automation system was selected for one of the Silver Medal for Innovation awards presented last year by the DLG agricultural society in Germany. The feature that won the award was the continued over…

The VB7190 variable chamber baler from Kuhn boosts output by having a high speed tailgate cycle.

Balers & Bale Handling …from previous page

Baler Automation System, achieving an industry first by enabling the operator to set a required bale weight. The control system is then left to constantly measure the size and the shape of the swath, using this and other data including GPS to automatically produce bales that meet the weight requirement while reducing fuel and other operating costs per bale. The first of the Fendt square balers was announced in Germany 20 years ago, and since then the Squadra range of balers has developed and increased, with a choice of five different models now offered. The entry level Squadra is the 990 model, producing bales with width and height dimensions of 80 and 90cm, and the other four models all have a 129cm bale width with height measurements ranging from 70–130cm. The range also includes a 1290XD model, with XD standing for Extra Density, and this model has special design features to cope with a big increase in bale density and weight. Fendt also offers the Rotana range of round balers with both variable and fixed chamber versions available, and at the top of the Rotana

range is the F130 Combi model with integrated baling and wrapping. A new arrival in the Massey Ferguson baler range is the RB3130F ProTec model, with ProTec referring to the integrated wrapping unit providing immediate weather protection for the newly wrapped bales. The baler/ wrapper combination is designed to make 1.25m diameter bales, and special design features include reduced overall height to lower the centre of gravity and improve stability on slopes, and there are also improvements to achieve more precise bale positioning on the wrapping table. As well as a full range of round and square balers plus the combi bale/ wrappers, the MF range also includes the 1840 small square baler for tractors of 50hp+, plus there is the TW series trailed bale wrapper with 41–51hp power requirement. Manitou is a French-based company with products that boost handling efficiency while helping to make an important contribution to big bale popularity. The company was established in 1958 and its first telescopic loader was produced in 1981, starting a success story that resulted in sales that had reached 500,000 total by

2015. The current Manitou range of telescopic loaders covers a wide range of different industries but agriculture – and bale handling in particular – remains one of its biggest markets. The current Manitou range covers 19 different agricultural models which offer lift capacities ranging from 2,500– 6,000kg and there is a choice of maximum lift heights up to 9m. An important performance feature for bale handling equipment is the outreach or horizontal reach, the distance available when moving bales into or out of the stack, and the outreach figures are prominently quoted in the Manitou sales information. Pro-Straw Systems was introduced

by the Reed family as an addition to their Suffolk-based farming and contracting business. Available since 2016, it provides weather protection for stacked straw bales, but with mechanical handling to avoid the risk of injury caused by a fall from the top of the stack. Prices are from £1,595 and the expected working life of the sheets is 5–10 years. Pro-Straw is also the UK importer for the Parkland range of bale accumulators from Denmark, available in a range of models to suit both midi- and maxi-sized big bales. A new development this year is a drawbar option for towing the accumulators, improving manoeuvrability in field entrances and other places where access is restricted. FG

Balers & Bale Handling Kubota’s BF3500 has been engineered for use in heavy silage conditions.

Round baler range goes heavy duty Kubota has expanded its round baler line-up range with the introduction of an all-new, high-capacity fixed chamber baler, called the BF3500. Replacing the previous BF3255 model, the new BF3500 has been engineered for use in heavy silage conditions. It gets an 18-roller bale chamber, with two rollers located in the base of the chamber to give additional support with heavy, wet silage bales. Bale density is managed by a hydraulic density system, designed to

ensure consistent bale quality in all crop conditions. A new 2.3m wide pick-up, designated XL+ has also been introduced and incorporates an extensive series of upgrades. An extra tine has been added on either side, increasing the working width by 10cm; a new five-bar tine reel

incorporates a cam track located at both ends, while each tine bar is supported on four bearings. Tine length has been increased by 10mm and the gap between the stripper plates has been reduced for improved performance in wet crops. Capacity has been increased with the introduction of a new larger

diameter intake rotor, along with a revised drop floor system. The drop floor package uses a more rounded profile under the rotor and also has a parallelogram action – extending clearance under the front and rear of the chamber, when lowered. One of the few carry-over items from the previous generation of Kubota fixed chamber balers is the well-proven PowerBind net injection system, which provides consistent and reliable net application. This mechanism accurately places the tail of net directly into the bale chamber, without relying on traditional feed rollers or the use of gravity. The BF3500 incorporates heavyduty bale chamber rollers and driveline components. This includes a split driveline, while the bale chamber and feed rotor feature 1.25in pitch drive chains. Chamber rollers all run on 50mm diameter bearings, with double-row roller bearings used on all main load points. Kubota’s BF3500 is also equipped with a 15-knife SuperCut pre-chopping system, plus automatic chain lubrication and auto-greasing. FG

New variable chamber baler with film binding

GO FURTHER with your forage

Kuhn’s new VBP 3165 now features a twin-reel film binding system like that of the brand’s popular fixed chamber balers.

BALING & WRAPPING with the cream of the crop

Kuhn launches new VBP 3165 variable chamber baler with film-on-film binding.

To achieve quality forage, you need to get the most out of your machinery. KUHN offers the most versatile range of balers and wrappers available on the market. Our balers are built with field performance, quality and density in mind, while our wrappers perfectly complement KUHN’s cost-efficient, ecologic and ergonomic bale wrapping solutions.

82-99 Balers.indd 88

Kuhn explains this enables the flexibility of a variable chamber baler to be coupled with the improved Intelliwrap system that only uses a 750mm film wrap to reduce costs and save time. Unlike some machines that use a 1.2m roll, the VBP 3165 uses two 750mm rolls. Kuhn’s patented duck-bill film applicator optimises the use of film binding which helps to reduce the amount of film needed, saving operators up to 37% compared to a traditional wrapping system. At 25kg, with a waist-height mounting point, the rolls are also much easier to handle and change. The 750mm width also makes the rolls easier to store. “This will save contractors and farmers time in the field and make ordering easier. There is space on board to store 10 rolls of film, meaning the operator can carry more than sufficient for a day’s work,” explains Kuhn’s baler specialist, Thomas Ferrand. Unlike a fixed chamber baler, the VBP 3165 can be used for different forages in a variety of conditions. This is of particular use in wet conditions where the chamber can adjust to account for changes in weight and forage type. “This provides operators with an option to work in poorer conditions and still lock in the nutritional value to make best use of forage,” Mr Ferrand adds. The VBP 3165 creates a tighter, more compact bale with better protection around the

circumference of the bale. This oxygen barrier helps improve bale quality resulting in a bale with a higher nutritional value. The shape of the bale has also been adjusted to make it easier to handle and store.

“

The bales are also easier to unwrap, even during frost periods, because silage does not collect between the film. By using one type of binding method, no separation of film and net is required when feeding, which reduces the time and also means all the film can be recycled uniformly. “The bales are also easier to unwrap, even during frost periods, because silage does not collect between the film. This means that no feed is lost when the forage is unwrapped,” he says. By combining the flexibility of a variable chamber machine with film-on-film binding, Kuhn has created a faster, more economical baler that will have particular appeal to contractors. “For those looking to create a more nutritious bale in a variety of conditions, the VBP 3165 is an excellent combination of simplicity and economy that will improve bale quality and reduce film cost,” concludes Mr Ferrand.

Stack covers and new accumulator drawbar attract praise ProStraw Systems will launch its updated accumulator drawbar, designed to improve manoeuvrability and stability on smaller roads, for the first time at LAMMA. Meanwhile, its stack covers have been described as “a great invention” by farmer users. ProStraw Systems’ new drawbar provides the flexibility of trailing a Parkland Bale Accumulator, making for easier transportation and improved manoeuvrability, whilst eliminating tailswing. It’s ideal for use with longer chamber balers and helps to better navigate narrow winding country lanes and tight turns into field gateways, the company says. The drawbar has undergone thorough testing this last harvest, and ProStraw says it was delighted with the ease of operation. It is available as an optional extra on all new and used three- and five-bale accumulators and will be on display for the first time at LAMMA 2022. Meanwhile, the company says it has been a great year for its Britishmade stack covers which now cover over 250,000 tonnes of straw across the UK, with 500 covers in service – a massive growth from previous years. ProStraw prides itself on British-made and manufactured products, built to a high standard with tough quality controls. Scottish farmer Willy Mitchell says the covers, which he first purchased three years ago, were easy to put on and robust, despite being subjected to harsh winds – particularly in the past few years. Similarly, Chris Chamley, who runs a sheep and arable enterprise in Pebmarsh, Essex, while his

daughter and son-in-law run a cattle enterprise, describes the covers as a “great invention”, having purchased his first two four years ago. The original two covers are still in use and they now purchase an additional cover each year, for use on both quadrant and round bales. Straw is for the farm use, though there is the option to sell some in a year when the winter has been mild. The stacks are sheeted manually on the farm, requiring 2–3 people, although there is also an option to mechanically apply the covers. Previously, Mr Chamley was not keen on sheeting stacks as the covers he had tried in the past were difficult to secure – with either the wind blowing them off or weather finding its way in through holes. But the pole system on ProStraw’s product has meant covers can be secured effectively and the farm’s waste has been taken down to virtually zero. Previously they would lose up to 25% of the stack with no sheet. Because of this, Mr Chamley says they recovered the cost of the covers in the first year. When not in use, the poles are wiped cleaned and the covers are folded up and put on a pallet in a normal building away from vermin. While they need looking after to keep them in good condition, Mr Chamley says they are durable and cost effective. FG

Four-rotary rake results in clean, even and airy swathes The four-rotary rake Star 1250I50 T, with adjustable working width from 9.9–12.5m and efficiency up to 18.5ha/hour, is the perfect solution for large farms and contractors, says SIP. The company says its innovative technologies, simple operation, and excellent manoeuvrability result in clean, even, and airy swaths. The two-point pivoting linkage offers a large ±75-degree turning angle, while special pivoting gearboxes in the front and the Y-shaped gearbox in the back reduce

the loads on the rotors’ PTOs. Special mounting of the rotors with innovative cross-shaped hinges allows ±300mm rotor movement upwards and downwards independently of the chassis, enabling perfect 3D ground tracking. The modular rotor design ensures easy maintenance. Continuously adjustable cam track with a large diameter of 42cm ensures smooth raking and creation of evenly shaped central swaths with adjustable width from 1.3–2.2m. The working height of the rotors and spring tines is

hydraulically adjustable, and separate for the front and rear pair of rotors. An electro-hydraulic steering system is all about the hassle-free operation for a driver. It features automatic transport folding and unfolding into the working position and separate or partial rotors lifting when turning at the headlands or driving over the swaths. The robust design and the use of high-quality materials ensure excellent performance and long service life, SIP says, with the professional

rake delivering an even and clean trapezoidal swath; making it easy to harvest and saving energy and time. FG

Impressive range of baler spare parts and machinery Founded 49 years ago and celebrating 50 years next year, Woodfields has established an excellent international reputation for its farm machinery business, supplying baler spare parts and handling virtually any type of new and used farm machinery – including tractors, balers and all forms of silage making and grass handling equipment. The business, which is based in Bluntisham, near Huntingdon, is run by founder Henry Woodfield and his son and partner, Andrew. Last year, it traded more than 400 new and used machines and implements – and there is usually a good array on site at any one time. Spare parts are provided for balers, mowers and other equipment on a

worldwide basis. The company even stocks obsolete parts that are no longer available for the manufacturer. New machines are supplied to order. Good quality nearly-new and used machines are purchased, then servicing and reconditioning is carried out as necessary. The machines are then offered for sale in the UK and throughout the world. “We’ve seen a steady increase in business over the years and have established a reputation for quality and service that is second to none,” says Henry. “This is borne out by the fact that we are still dealing with customers who first came to us in the early 1970s.” Contact Woodfields directly for more information.

Manage forage costs with precision and quality PFC Agri Solutions now offers a full line of moisture sensors and application equipment for balers. The company claims its moisture sensors have a marketing-leading accuracy of ±1% and a working range up to 70% moisture, with zero calibration required. The small square and large square baler range use the precision twin star wheels while

round balers use twin discs. Pulsing 10V through the entire width of the bale, the sensors detect moisture in real time. The PFC Agri Solutions semi-automatic applicator is the company’s entry level system, with a pump suitable for Baler’s Choice

acid. 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 specified rate until adjusted, offering excellent reliability for haylage, silage inoculants and Baler’s Choice

AgriSolutions

Is the answer for baling high moisture hay without expensive plastic

hay preservative. The company’s top-of-therange market leader in application equipment is the Harvest Tec 3 and 7 series of applicators for all baler types, which is 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 on the go. The applicator pauses automatically on headland turns and bale ejection. The system is fully integrated to the Massey Ferguson, Fendt, New Holland and Case IH large square balers electronics. With plastic prices already at £70 per roll and still increasing significantly, PFC says applying Baler’s Choice preservative on hay and straw is simple and cost-effective, with the automatic applicator and built-in moisture sensors. Baler’s Choice on 15–22% moisture hay is half the cost per bale on a round bale compared to current plastic prices, the company reckons – meaning no more guess work when baling crops of any type. FG

New triple mower system delivers greater productivity Tanco manufactures a comprehensive range of bale wrappers at its Bagenalstown, Co. Carlow, Ireland factory and distributes to over 40 countries worldwide. Building on years of technical know-how in the development of new variants of its bale wrappers, Tanco has created a new triple mower system with front and rear cutting, and conditioning widths of 8.9 and 9.8m with cutter beds supplied by Comer Industries. The Tanco Autocut front and rear triple mowers have been designed to deliver greater productivity through improved weight distribution, horsepower and cutting widths. The front Autocut M3.c mower is a ‘pull type’ front mower and uses a rail system to achieve 850mm of vertical travel, ±16 degrees of bed movement

left and right and 19-degree travel front to back; this is a product of 680mm travel along the rail and provides the M3.c mower with superb contour following capability, Tanco says. The wheels of the rear Autocut M9.c & M10.c steer 40 degrees through a linkage system connected to the Autocut headstock. The steering system features Tanco’s unique Active Steer system which allows the rear wheel steering to be controlled via the tractor hydraulics. Active Steer also incorporates a fast and slow reaction steering; when the Autocut mower beds are lowered, Active Steer is in the fast reaction position, and when the Autocut mower beds are in the raised position, Active Steer is in the slow reaction position.

Bale grab launched to appeal to contractors Attachment specialist Albutt Ltd has launched a contractor-aimed bale grab to complement the company’s existing ranges. The F470 is aimed at users moving tens of thousands of bales, and has a host of features to withstand the intense nature of this work. Based on its best-selling 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 solid bar. It also opens wider (2,450mm) and closes narrower (700mm) than the F450. To achieve this, it features two rams either side; according to Albutt Ltd, this 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

Growing interest in conventional bale packing system This year, Arcusin says it has again seen strong and growing interest in its conventional bale packing system. Many farmers and contractors are continually looking to add value to the crops they produce and/or the services they can offer. The Arcusin Multipack D14 machine offers this and is a very versatile machine, enabling the end user to produce the correct bale packs for their market, Arcusin says. The Arcusin Multipack D14 can accept any length of bale up to 1.2m long, with the shorter bale

lengths being tied in packs with just three twines. The Arcusin Multipack will handle bales from all conventional balers including the Welgar baler which produces a wider bale. Bale pack size can be changed from the traditional 14 bale pack to a 10-bale pack, which is a good size for wrapping the packs for haylage. This machine can be used to produce packs in the field (as shown in the photo) or in a stationary mode undercover in a shed and out of season. For more information, contact the company directly.

Balers & Bale Handling

Variable chamber baler offering expanded New Holland Agriculture extends its variable chamber round baler offering with the new Pro-Belt Series – a versatile, high-performance and durable baler that delivers excellent bale shape in all crops and conditions. New Holland’s head of hay and forage product management (selfpropelled windrower, cutting and crop preparation, variable chamber round and small square baler and bale wagon), Simon Nichol, stated: “We developed the Pro-Belt Series to meet the specific needs of contractors and farmers who clock up a high annual use of their balers. Its dependability is a key success factor for them, as it performs equally well when the harvesting windows are anticipated or postponed. It stands out for its exceptional productivity in

all crop conditions, delivering high bale density that helps maintain the nutritional properties of the freshly harvested crop. What’s more, this outstanding versatility and performance comes in a stylish, streamlined design.” The Pro-Belt has been designed based on feedback New Holland collected through numerous customer test-drives conducted across the world – from North America to Australia, New Zealand and Europe, collectively producing 150,000 bales. Participants clearly

expressed the performance characteristics they considered fundamental: crop versatility, capacity, and bale density and appearance. The new baler delivers on all counts with outstanding performance, New Holland says. The new baler has been developed for reliability and durability, with a split gearbox for high mechanical efficiency and robustness and a streamlined design with fewer, stronger components and moving parts. The heavy-duty 520mmdiameter rotor in combination

with the active drop floor provides constant feedback to the operator, enabling them to maximize productivity with high throughput and non-stop feeding. It performs equally well in silage and dry straw, producing consistently high bale density and perfectly formed, firm bales for easy handling and stacking. With a capacity up to 30t/hour and 140 kg/m3 in straw, the Pro-Belt will enable customers to bale their crop faster, finishing their field in less time with fewer bales. New Holland will preview the new Pro-Belt Series in demonstrations and local events in France, Italy and the UK during the first half of 2022, in preparation for the official launch to the public in November at the SIMA show in Paris, France and Eima exhibition in Bologna, Italy.

Farming business offers wide range of services Firefighter Neil Byford set up Byford Farm Services in 1995, after the local farm he had worked on for 18 years was sold. As a firefighter at the nearby on-call fire station he had to work locally, allowing him to attend the station within four minutes of a fire call, so he started by delivering ag chemicals in his truck. He left at 5am and returned around 9am so he could provide fire cover – and during the day he would deliver hay and straw

made by himself. Mr Byford also purchased a paddock sweeper and set up a paddock maintenance side of the business. By 2020, he had gone into whole farm contracting, now contracting three farms and tenancy on a further two farms. He also developed a hay, haylage and straw business, producing all its own products and delivering up to a 60-mile radius of the farm with over 400 customers on the books.

The company has invested in a bagging plant to bag down all the products and sell alongside square, round and conventional bales, which are all in bale baron packs. The company offers a complete baling service alongside, mowing, tedding, rowing, wrapping and stacking. Mr Byford’s son Charlie has now joined the business, and they aim to keep up the company’s high standards and to diversify as and when the need arises. FG

FUTURE PROOF FARMING

16/03/2022 15:23

Drilling direct into surface straw has seen Springfield Farm drastically improve soil health, fertility and organic matter levels.

Working with straw for improved soil health British single pass drill manufacturer Mzuri advocates leaving all previous crop residue on the surface prior to drilling as a means of improving soil health and fertility. It is this practice that the company attributes to the year-on-year success of the direct drilling system and overall farm health on its own trial farm in Worcestershire. Springfield Farm has been the test site for the Mzuri system since its inception over 10 years ago, and in that time, it has gone from a depleted, downtrodden enterprise to an arable unit supportive of high yields with positive impacts on its surrounding environment. Prior to the Mzuri system

taking hold on Springfield Farm, the historical farm practice was to remove all straw, then plough over the ground followed by a power harrow and combination drill. Whilst this was a typical system up and down the country at the time, it was clear from the plateauing yields, slumping of the heavy Evesham lias clay soils, and expensive inputs that enough was enough. In looking at ways to tackle the root of the problem, engineer and farm owner Martin Lole looked

Straw Incorporation to ultimately reduce his costs of establishment, to reduce the risks to the enterprise and to improve the fertility and productivity of the soils. In doing so, he created the Mzuri single pass system which consolidated vital operations for seed germination, whilst removing the need to blanket cultivate – which was a drain on resources and was not supportive of good soil structure. In the years that followed, the Mzuri Pro-Til drill established all of the farm’s crops, including oilseeds, cereals, beans and maize; and did so directly into stubble or cover crops. One of the defining features of the Mzuri Pro-Til was the requirement to drill into high volumes of straw – something which Martin recognised as a key component of improving the health of the farm’s tired soils. By leaving the crop residue on the surface, it supported the soil’s biodiverse ecosystem, retained moisture, improved organic matter and reduced water and wind erosion – all ingredients for an improved soil system. Mzuri now recommends leaving a stubble height of 150–250mm to ensure good trash flow through the drill. At this height, the straw also provides the optimum environment

to offer sufficient shelter to plants from cold temperatures and wind, whilst being short enough to allow adequate levels of light penetration. It is also recommended that chopped straw and chaff is spread evenly across the field – something which may be achieved with a stubble rake, if necessary. Since Springfield Farm started leaving all crop residue on the surface, in addition to employing the Mzuri single pass system, yields have increased from 8t/ha for winter wheat to 11.t/ha. The farm has also seen a noticeable difference in the feel of the soil under foot and wheel, with a much more supportive structure which carries machinery well and is less likely to run off in periods of heavy rain. FG

Stubble can provide the perfect nursery seedbed for young plants.

Double knife roller can be front mounted for great flexibility The Horsch Cultro TC is a double knife roller with a low horsepower requirement and can be used in combination with other machines for a wide range of applications. The Cultro TC is a double knife roller with low horsepower requirement, available in 3m, 5m, 6m, 9m and 12m working widths. Used in combination with other machines,

the highly flexible Cultro TC provides an excellent cutting in rape or silage maize stubble. The compact diameter of the roller body allows for a high number

Strength – Reliabilty – Quality

of revolutions and number of cuts. This guarantees an intensive crushing of organic material. Six knives are arranged in a crosscut configuration for a maximum crushing result.

Front and rear mounting adds great flexibility to the Cultro TC’s operation and allows more tasks to be done with a single pass. The 5m and 6m models, which can be folded to 3m transport widths, are also available with a 2-bar harrow. The Cultro TC can be easily combined with other machines, for example, as a front attachment without a packer and with the disc harrow Joker CT. The Cultro TC is also available as a rear-mounted 9m model and a trailed 12m model to meet customers’ requirements. These can be folded to 3m transporter widths. The new frame concept transfers the complete weight of the machine on to the roller. The individual roller segments are divided in 3m wide sections that are suspended individually. This provides optimum contour following of the machine even for this large working width. Each segment is overload-protected and can move upwards individually. The machine can be equipped with a packer or a grass type harrow – ideal if a lot of organic material is to be distributed on the surface. The Cultro TC can also be equipped with a Crossbar in front of the knives, enabling it to be used for seedbed preparation. FG

Strength at its core PFC Agri Solutions offers a full range of cultivation equipment to suit individual requirements. Ploughs, seed bed cultivators, discs and stubble cultivators are the core items. PFC has seen on its own farm prices of machines escalating over the last decade, and has now founded a premium-built cultivation package but at affordable prices. Offering this to the UK market will aid producers in a reduction in production costs while still having a premium built product, the company claims. The Titan BTA with HD trailed discs comes with a massive specification as standard, PFC says. The Titan offers 560mm discs with HD NSK sealed bearings, active side screens, depth support wheels, straw tines and hydraulic depth control, to name but a few of its impressive options. The rear packer is standardised, with the steel ring and scrappers – but there are many other options to suit specific requirements. New for the 2021 season, the rear packer can be specified with a dual packer option and following straw tines. The frame profile is built using a high-grade steel in 180 x 180mm profile, providing excellent

longevity and rigidity for a uniform and consistant cultivating depth. The front support wheels provide even depth control by preventing yaw in the frame under high-speed cultivating. The support wheels can be replaced with weights. Built to last at competitive prices, PFC says its Awemak equipment will provide serious solutions to improve the crop establishment process and minimise capital cost, with Titan discs offering operators significant control over their cultivation operations. PFC also offers a range of smaller trailed or mounted options for the horticultural and agricultural sectors. FG

Straw Incorporation

Cultivator finds favour in UK for straw incorporation

Design updates ensure plough remains relevant Ovlac is a Spanish-based company, founded in 1936. For years, its flagship Mouldboard plough was the company’s only product range, adapted to take into account a number of variants such as protection systems, terrain, work flow, and budgets. However, more recently the company’s line has expanded so that it now offers a complete soil-working solution, including disc harrows, cultivators, shallow ploughs, and even a line of machinery dedicated to vineyard products. The Mouldboard plough remains popular however, offering good straw burial with enhanced features such as new design legs which give more inter-body clearance, and a self-aligning headstock which ensures the plough follows its natural path. As a result of such design updates, savings in fuel and traction have

been calculated. Plus, with a perfectly aligned plough, longevity of wearing parts is also ensured. Finite adjustments of skimmers with just a simple pin and clip design ensure you are able to put the top 1.5in in the bottom of the furrow. Leaving no previous crop residues and weed seeds well inverted, chemical inputs can be reduced, with many now turning back to the humble plough for weed control. Currently based in Palencia, Spain, Ovlac employs more than 80 professionals, all of whom are passionate about agriculture and soil-working machinery. The company’s own R&D department, led by a team of engineers with the latest technology, ensures Ovlac continues to make products that farmers can be proud of. According to the company: “We are Ovlac – we are soil passion.” FG

The Rubin 10 has been well received by UK customers for primary cultivation work, especially where intensive straw incorporation has been required on a range of soil types, says manufacturer Lemken. 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 collisionfree 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 has working widths of 2.5–7m and is available with a range of roller options to suit requirements. FG

Straw Incorporation Five cultivating options in one machine The Multi-Till 5T is a low disturbance subsoiler, complete with a double set of mixing discs and an effective Agri-Packer roller system with easy clean scraper bar. The shoulders of Agriweld’s Agri-Packer roller create drainage channels, while the drive teeth penetrate the channel bottom to allow for water and nutrient ingress, leaving a weatherproof finish. The company’s easy clean scraper bar system eliminates the transfer of volunteers and dirt to the road and fields. The Multi-Till 5T can be run with just the discs or legs in work, with

the roller up or down, and as a complete system. The cultivator features Agriweld’s brand new, unique hydraulic depth control for the Agri-Packer roller, which rotates and brings in the transport wheels simultaneously. The option of running the Multi-Till 5T with the Agri-Packer roller out of work gives the option to operate the machine on the transport wheels, allowing land to breathe. The machine is complete with 20mm Hardox legs with GLX point as standard, with alternative point options also available, a set of leading discs and double set of mixing discs. Fit with a pivoting crossbar with CAT 3 or CAT 4 Linkage, the 3m Multi-Till 5T requires 260hp+. Agriweld reckons it has catered for the majority of requirements with this machine, which is available in 3–6m models. Bespoke widths are available to suit individual requirements. There is also the option of bracketing to mount a seeder or liquid fertiliser tank. FG

Modular tined cultivator optimises stubble processing Since 2013, the Guttler Supermaxx modular tined cultivator has proven itself over thousands of hectares, says importer Wox Agri Services. A range of mounted and trailed machines is available from 5m through to 12m and multiple combinations of tines and following harrows allow for an extremely versatile machine. The machine is able to be applied in both non-inversion systems as well as plough-based systems. Working in chopped straw is not a problem, as the machine can be used 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, Wox says. Working speeds from 7–14km/ hour are fully achievable with a 6m machine requiring from 125hp up over, and a 12m machine requiring 360hp. Work rates of 10ha/hour are fully achievable, Wox says. A range of different points are available, from swept through to tungsten points. FG

In an ideal world, you’d be using a SuperMaxx ® Take a closer look at the ultimate cultural solution to: • Blackgrass chitting with volunteer cereal control • Straw spreading and incorporation • Mounted widths 3m, 5m & 6m • Trailed widths 6m, 9m, 10m, 12m • For non-inversion and plough-based systems.

Trailers

Push-off trailer compacts the workload Best known as a designer and manufacturer of high capacity paddle or auger type diet feeders, vacuum tankers and muck spreaders, Hi-Spec Engineering’s Kompactor trailer follows in the company’s tradition of focusing on the design and manufacture of innovative new products. The Kompactor is available in two sizes – the K36 (22ft) and K40 (24ft). A demount version is also available, which will provide users, such as contractors, with increased value and versatility by being able to swap the trailer body with a Hi-Spec vacuum tanker body. Central to the Kompactor is the hydraulically-operated headboard, which is powered by a three-stage

hydraulic ram. For compacting with the heavy-duty tailgate shut, the headboard can be used to compact material such as grass or maize silage, so increasing the load carried by up to 80% compared to a conventional trailer. However, due to its size, the Kompactor trailer is also ideally suited for use as a conventional trailer for transporting bulky materials, such

as woodchip or grain. To empty the Kompactor, having raised the tailgate, the headboard is then fully extended and, depending on the load, has the capacity to completely empty the trailer in as little as 30 seconds. Because the load is pushed off and so avoids the need to tip the trailer body, the Kompactor is ideal for use in areas where conventional

tipping trailers cannot access. Allied to this, a key highlight is that by using a push-off mechanism and due to it having a low centre of gravity, all the inherent risks posed by using a tipping trailer are diminished or even avoided, such as striking overhead power lines or trailer instability when tipping on soft and uneven ground. The Kompactor is lighter in weight compared to a conventional trailer, as its design engineers out traditionally required elements such as lifting rams and the necessary bracing. This results in a lighter trailer, which is capable of carrying increased loads and which will help 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

Making every second count Bailey Trailers is very aware that every second counts for farmers, growers and contractors; their trailers have to work hard. Therefore, Bailey’s aim is straightforward: To supply robust and reliable trailers that keep on 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 the need to increase the trailer fleet. These heavy-gauge panel structures are designed to fit onto Bailey’s TB, Root and Beeteaper models. Fitting Bailey Silage Kits is straightforward, the company says, but for those looking to make things easier still, Bailey also offers Quick Release Silage Kits. Converting

from grass to grain is completed in a matter of minutes with the aid of a forklift. All Bailey Silage Kits feature bevelled edges which eliminate the issue of materials gathering on the structure. The year 2022 is a landmark for Bailey – the business is celebrating 40 years of manufacturing trailers. In those 40 years, Bailey has grown from one man in a workshop into a leading brand of agricultural trailers in the UK. Bailey’s comprehensive range of products are sold and supported by a nationwide dealer network. They are also represented by dealerships in Scandinavia and New Zealand.

Weighing up the benefits of agricultural technology

A trailer for all needs Perhaps it is time to ask yourself why you would rather purchase, operate and maintain four singlepurpose trailers when one BIGAB will do the job, says manufacturer Fors MW. With a BIGAB, Fors MW says, it is possible do the job with only one tractor. It allows you to carry your excavator to work and at the same time be ready to move materials or transport machinery; bring the containers to the road for easy access for further transportation by a truck; switch containers between different assignments, and keep several

jobs going at the same time. By being able to solve more tasks with just one trailer and a tractor, you will benefit from reductions in fuel, labour and maintenance costs due to, for example, less wear on tyres and brakes – resulting in more working time for the operator. If you also add a BIGAB Z crane or Farma Forestry crane to your trailer, Fors MW says it will increase your flexibility even more, leading to your trailer becoming a real ‘multitool’ – ready to handle most assignments. FG

There’s currently no shortage of challenges facing UK farmers, but technology can help to improve machinery capabilities, efficiency and productivity, explains Topcon Technology Ltd business development manager, Neil Wood. Weighing technology is seeing particular innovation, allowing farmers to weigh accurately and quickly, whilst offering better ways to manage and analyse data. When it comes to check-weighing of incoming and outgoing goods, there are lots of options on the market – so it’s important that a flexible and versatile solution is found. One such example is Topcon’s TT Weigh+, which allows users to manage multiple trailers with one single tool, providing a fast and easy-to-use indicator of trailer

weight, no matter the weather and with no modifications needed for the machine. Innovations in agricultural technology can seem daunting, but these solutions can drastically improve the way farms work, enabling you to farm your way. Investing in technology can help to avoid the financial implications of check-weighing going wrong too, offering a secure ROI going forward. Vehicle wear and tear can also be mitigated, as technology can minimise overloading, which can put real strain on a machine. The future of agriculture is most certainly centred around embracing the opportunities provided by advanced precision technology, and through these tools, you will be able to maximise your outputs and grow without limits.

Trailers Protect your investment with quality security devices

The trusted name for farm machinery, groundcare and hire equipment

Whether you have plant, livestock or flatbed trailers, it is crucial to protect your investment with quality security devices. Thieves are known to steal trailers or horse boxes, as they are not registered with the DVLA and therefore harder to track. Buying quality security products is essential to deter opportunist thieves. Maypole Ltd has launched three new triangular wheel clamps to its Stronghold range of security products. The new Apex wheel clamps are available in three sizes and designed to fit and secure a range of vehicles from cars, campervans, caravans, motorhomes, horse boxes and trailers. Maypole’s wheel clamps are Sold Secure Gold and Secured by Design approved, meaning they are tested to stringent independent testing. With a unique high security patented locking system and robust steel construction, two-part

Irelands Farm Machinery Ltd is an ever-expanding, family-owned company based in Lincolnshire. Specialising in the hire of specialist root trailers with lower sides to aid the safe transit of crop between harvester and trailer, the company has a large stock of 14, 15 and 16t root trailers available to hire all year round. All trailers come fully maintained and serviced, with a brakes efficiency test carried out prior to collection. Irelands operates from four depots at Carrington, Sutterton, Market Rasen and Stamford; the company sells, buys, hires and services machinery and equipment, as well as providing parts for its comprehensive range of franchises. In January 2022, Irelands was awarded the Stewart Trailers

triangular steel sections cover the wheel nuts, wheel trims and alloy wheels, also making it difficult for thieves to take the trailer. For extra protection, Maypole suggests investing in a hitchlock to secure the trailer hitch too. According to the company, the clamp is very easy to fit – you can watch a fitting video at www.stronghold-security.com to see how simple it is. You will also be able to find your nearest stockist to purchase these clamps, either online or in a retail store. Maypole Ltd will be at LAMMA in May, and would welcome visitors to its stand in Hall 6 to discuss trailer security needs. FG

Farm Diversification •

• •

Everything you need to know about diversifying into camping in 2022

• •

The staycation boom is here to stay – in fact, it’s stronger than ever, says outdoor accommodation expert Pitchup.com – providing a tempting diversification opportunity for farmers.

Q: What can you earn through camping/glamping? A: Average annual takings for farm sites on Pitchup.com top £13,000, but one working farm site in Cumbria took over £124,000 of bookings last year and a former farm in Pembrokeshire earned more than £340,000 in the last 12 months. You can calculate your estimated revenue by inputting your location and number of pitches at www. pitchup.com/join/, which takes into account data from our 1.8 million annual holidaymakers.

Q. Do you need planning permission? A: Depending on how long you want to open your campsite for and what type of pitches you are looking to sell, you may not have to apply for planning permission.

In 2020 and 2021, the 28-day permitted development rights for tent campsites were extended to 56 days in England and Wales, however unfortunately this extension has now expired. In Wales, the government has consulted on a further extension and we are waiting to hear the results, while in England Michael Gove has stated it would be an “entirely welcome development”, though no actions have been taken to extend the rights yet. This means that as it stands, farmers can open a tent campsite (including bell tents) for up to 28 days per year without the need to apply for planning permission. In Scotland and Northern Ireland, however, guidance has been issued which encourages authorities not to enforce reasonable breaches of planning control against “reasonable temporary outdoor uses” (until the end of September in Scotland). This allows many pop-up campsites and motorhome stopovers to operate all summer without a planning application. For sites that wish to operate for more than 28 days in England and Wales, take caravan and motorhome bookings and/or add fixed accommodation, there are two options: apply for planning permission (which can be simpler and cheaper than you think, costing £462 to change the use of land to a campsite in England and usually taking eight weeks from registration), or you can apply to an exempt organisation.

Q: What is an exempt organisation? A: Exempt organisations offer

Q: How easy is it to run a campsite alongside a farm? A: Farmers have been shocked at

farmers and other landowners the opportunity to set up caravan and camping sites year-round without needing a site licence or planning permission. The exempt organisation would typically inspect the site and make a number of checks before issuing a certificate which, depending on which exemptions they hold, could allow you to take bookings for everything from tents and caravans to yurts and pods for the full season. A list of exempt organisations and their rules can be found at: www. pitchup.com/how-start-campsitecaravan-park/#LicenceExemptions Those considering joining such an organisation should, however, check the small print.

how easy it was to set up a campsite on their land, like Chris Roberts from Eshtell Camping in Cumbria: “I baled the grass, hired two Portaloos and a skip, got some insurance, registered with Pitchup and was away. It proved to be so popular, at least half the guests have booked to come back next year.” You can also see a video testimonial from Mains Farm campsite, explaining why the seasonality of camping works well for their farm: www.youtube.com/ watch?v=k3epDB8HHzI For further advice on how to set up campsite, glampsite or caravan park, go to www.pitchup.com/ start/ and for more info on joining Pitchup.com visit www.pitchup. com/join/ FG

BATTERY STORAGE OPPORTUNITIES

Battery storage is taking off and Landreeve is already acting for numerous landowners across the UK to help secure projects on their land. We are seeking instructions to act for more landowners who have at least 1 acre of land, with electricity pylons or a large substation nearby, which benefits from relatively good access, is not exposed and is away or screened from residential areas. A typical sized battery storage facility is 50MW (megawatts) and only requires 1 to 2 acres of land. Subject to grid capacity, planning and other factors, achievable rents for this size facility can be as much as £100,000 per annum on 25 to 40 year indexed linked leases and in exceptional cases even higher. If you have land that might fit this criteria then please get in touch for an informal chat to find out more, without obligation and at no upfront cost or risk. We recommend landowners take specialist advice before signing any Letters of Authority, however please feel free to contact us if you have already signed a Letter of Authority.

The company’s data points strongly towards another bumper year for domestic outdoor holidays as mental health and sustainability shoot up the agenda and the rising cost of living forces holidaymakers to consider more budget-friendly options. Bookings across the platform – which provides instant access to search and book at more than 5,300 sites, 1,100 of which are on farms – are up an impressive 104% since the start of this year compared to pre-pandemic levels*.

Farm Diversification

Keeping a half-full glass steady through a perfect storm Who would have predicted immediately after restrictions ease on the worst pandemic for 100 years, Europe would fall into its first war for over 80 years? Rural Asset Finance founder Matthew Smart discusses the UK impact. As a dedicated lender of funds directly to farmers in Great Britain, we as a team discuss for hours the probability of a ‘perfect storm’. But how do you forecast or stress test business volatility like this? As an alternative, non-bank lender, our pint glass is always half full – but these are trying times for

anyone’s nerve, and we have a clear dichotomy to consider: On one side of our storm, we have food and fuel inflation, which will only continue to spiral while the war runs its course – and inevitably, the Bank of England will increase base rates impacting variable rate borrowing facilities. Surely these are

times to consider securing a larger proportion of the UK’s food and fuel supplies from within our shores and not be so reliant on others? Here the farmer looking to food production and green energy production should be hailed the hero and we as a direct lender need to support these businesses – with or without

subsidy – for the ‘national good’. On the other side we have the implementation of ELMs, the divergence of the landowner and the land-user effectively separating the Balance Sheet from the annual Profit and Loss; this is an intriguing part of this evolution. As a lender we find most diversifications are ultimately driven from this divergence of capital growth of the assets and the annual return of the asset. With deliberate perseverance Rural Asset Finance has a foot in both camps whilst maintaining a glass-halffull approach. We are funding diversification to more efficient food and energy production on UK farms without subsidy, and are also funding a whole manner of new farmbased business enterprises to complement this. We fund both equipment and land and buildings all on a fixed rate, fixed term basis, often in parallel to fund many diversification projects. Every day we are helping prepare, evaluate and lend from business forecasts – looking to the future and not over our shoulder at the past. FG

In terms of planning permission, it will likely require a change of land use application rather than anything further (such as permitted development) as it is a moveable structure.

Farm Diversification will need careful consideration for any new venture. The rent achievable from a let building will vary considerably depending on location, access, services and internet speed. Research during the early stages will ensure your project will be successful and a viable business into the future.

Q: Do I need planning permission? A: The majority of diversification

Diversifying your estate – what to consider Diversification can significantly enhance your rural property portfolio if you get it right. Louise Newton of Agribusiness consultant Bidwells suggests five important questions to consider before taking the leap. Q: Why diversify? A: The most common reason is to increase income, unlock funds or to add value to your farm or estate. It is important to set out your aims and objectives before embarking on a new project.

Q: Who is involved in your farm or estate? A: Who are the decision makers

now and who will they be in the future? Carefully consider how the diversification scheme will fit in with your business or family’s succession planning. Always play to your strengths and identify any weaknesses to diversify in the best way for you.

in with your existing set up. Ensure you categorise your assets and take an overview of your estate. Think about redundant farm buildings or land perfect for diversification that create the least amount of impact on your home or farm business.

Q: What’s core to you? A: Consider how the project will fit

Q: What’s the market like? A: Markets, location and demand

projects will require some form of planning consent, either through a full planning application or the use of permitted development rights. It is important to consider whether planning consent can be achieved and to undertake the relevant applications before investing further in the project. Some schemes will not require any planning, such as temporary events. However, the number of days for a temporary use on land, without needing planning permission, has been reduced from 56 days in 2021 to 28 days. Before investing in any new development ensure you engage with your Local Planning Authority or with a consultant to ensure all the appropriate permissions are in place. FG

Farm Diversification The importance of thorough family discussions As the second successive year of reduction in Basic Payment starts to bite, with further reductions to come before abolition of the payment, more and more farming families are turning their thoughts to future diversified activities and succession of the business, says Ensors Chartered Accountants agricultural partner, Graham Page. This will include management of the different elements of the business, but also ownership of the underlying properties and other assets. The key is to have an open and honest discussion with family members, so that each party’s thoughts and objectives can be aired. These will vary between family members depending on their personal circumstances, but it is important that each is encouraged to let their thoughts be known without fear of reprisals – particularly for

comments that may go against others wishes – perhaps those of the older generation who may have preordained ideas as to the destiny of the business. Consider having a trusted family mediator to bring out the thoughts of quieter family members. Compromises will have to be made to reach an agreement and differences should not be left to fester. Unresolved discussions will often result in a dispute that can lead to permanent family rifts and costly professional fees. Taxation must be considered in any future planning but should never be the driving force behind any decisions. Often tax will need to be paid to meet family objectives and has to be accepted as a necessary cost, providing it can be minimised with some careful planning using professional advisors. FG

Diversification options for redundant buildings Chartered surveyors Salter & Mckenna practise on the Essex/ Suffolk border, serving clients throughout East Anglia. The firm provides a full range of services, including: land and estate management; farm consultancy; contract farming; planning and development; building surveys; architectural design; refurbishment of listed buildings; and project management and valuations. Farm diversification is becoming very important for many farm businesses. Redundant farm buildings can provide a useful source of income, with very diverse uses from joinery workshops, light commercial, holiday lets, office accommodation, storage and day nurseries. New buildings can also be considered and some of these may be replacements of buildings which are not suitable for conversion.

Traditional farm buildings lend themselves for conversion to holiday lets, offices and smallscale storage, while modern buildings are suited to modern industrial uses, warehouse and manufacturing etc. The change of use of a farm building to non-agricultural use requires planning permission, which can be either a full planning application or an application under the General Permitted Development Order. In recent years, Salter & Mckenna has undertaken many farm diversification projects throughout the home counties. One client close to Heathrow Airport has converted or replaced old pig buildings to provide a diversified income for the farm. The company provided planning services for over 10 buildings on the site. Other projects include holiday lets and caravan and camping sites. FG

The editorial page in the April 1997 edition of the Farmers Guide had the headline ‘It had to happen’, which referred to the introduction of an experimental conversion of a New Holland selfpropelled windrower for unmanned operation using remote sensing systems and GPS. Ernest Cozens was in a thoughtful mood when writing his Out & About column, noting that a farm in Essex was considered a desert as it had had only 12 inches of rain in the last 12 months. He added that, with the increasingly dry weather, there had been a noticeable increase in the growth in water abstraction applications and buoyant sales of irrigation equipment. Ernest was also surprised to learn of a joint venture between Claas and Caterpillar, which would result in Claas selling rubber-tracked crawlers in the UK and Caterpillar would be marketing the badged Claas combine harvesters in America. A feature on the Muck ‘97 event reported

A survey in the early 1970s found that much of the time, a ‘ploughing tractor’ was being used for haulage and general duties around the farm. This led to Graham Edwards and Stuart Taylor developing a prototype high speed transport tractor in 1972. After testing several prototype models, the Trantor Transport fast tractor with a 55hp Perkins engine, hydraulic linkage and power take-off was exhibited at the 1976 Royal Show. Following further trials, the first production model of the Trantor, with a £9,750 price tag, was launched at the 1978 Royal Smithfield Show. The specification of the two-wheel drive Series I Trantor included an 80hp Perkins engine, a synchromesh gearbox with a top speed of 60mph, diff lock, hydraulic linkage, power take off and suspension on all four wheels.

that there would be more than 70 machines for muck and slurry handling at Stoneleigh in April. Editorial content included the news that Lemken Triag was no longer selling Howard Rotaspreaders, and Hunton Legg Ltd in Suffolk was making the full range of Rotaspreaders. With cereal prices dropping, Tramspread was promoting slurry spreading as a top dressing for cereals, and East Coast Engineering at Kings Lynn was demonstrating its Fieldmaster Mega rear discharge spreader at Muck ‘97. In the Farm Machinery News, John Deere announced its purchase of the Kemper range of machinery, and Dowdeswell introduced a new 1.7m wide swather with a £2,886 price tag for 30–65hp tractors. Massey Ferguson launched its latest MF 6190 tractor – the new model, top of the MF 6100 range, had a 130hp Perkins engine, a 32-speed gearbox and prices started at £53,000. Some models of JCB back hoe loaders were having a more powerful 50hp Perkins engine, and the latest Manitou telescopic loader offered a 104hp Perkins engine and a maximum lift height of 7.54m. A review of some of the latest farm machinery

videos included Dylan Winter’s Two Thousand Mile Harvest shot in the USA and Stuart Gibbard’s Roadless Tractors, which followed the history of the Roadless range. Chris Opperman provided the commentary for Brian Bell’s latest Classic Farm Machinery series – Combine Harvesters from the 1930s to the 1990s, and Fenland Farming 1995 used old 16mm film about a farm on the Norfolk/Lincolnshire border. A Workshop Equipment, Spares & Suppliers feature included details of a solar-powered electric welding mask from Switzerland, which automatically darkened the eye piece within milliseconds of striking an arc. Spaldings, which had added to its 12,000 strong product range with a knapsack sprayer with a 1,000cc piston pump, also offered a 130amp inverter welder for £530. Other equipment featured included a twin cylinder power take-off driven compressor with a built-in pressure gauge, and Atlantic Superstores gave details of its range of Turboweld arc welders. And finally... One enthusiastic collector’s advertisement in the Yellow Pages vintage column wanted a man trap, animal traps and any old bird scarers. FG

THE TRANTOR

several hundred had been sold when Trantor The two-wheel drive Series II Mark 1 production was transferred to the Eicher Trantor with a turbo-charged Leyland engine, factory in India. FG adjustable wheel track and a rear load carrying platform for a crop sprayer or fertiliser broadcaster was announced in 1983. The next model, launched at the 1984 Royal Show, was the four-wheel drive Trantor Hauler with a six cylinder 128hp Perkins engine. Further developments saw the introduction of the first prototype Euro-Trantor in the early 1990s. Fast tractors were not particularly The Series II Trantor fast tractor, with a top road speed of 40mph, had a Leyland diesel engine. popular with UK farmers but

Norfolk retirement sale highlights continuing demand for quality kit

{farm sale}

A dispersal sale on behalf of Norfolk farmers AT Robertson & Son was conducted by Durrants and achieved excellent results for the vendors.

A dispersal sale organised by Durrants on behalf of AT Robertson & Sons, following the Robertson family’s decision to retire from farming, featured a line-up of top-quality modern machinery and achieved high prices as a result. David Williams reports. Sale highlights included a selection of John Deere 6R-series tractors and a Kramer telehandler, but results were impressive across the board. The auctioneers were Scott Parke and Richard Prentice. “It was an absolute pleasure to prepare the sale for our long-standing clients, Ian and Brian Robertson and their families,” stressed Scott. “I have worked with Ian and Brian since 2015, and this was a fitting way to see out our working relationship with their farming business, as they now look forward to a well-earned retirement. “We were delighted with the turnout of buyers in the field and online, and there were approximately 450 bidders on the day. Rain which affected the viewing day cleared overnight, just in time for the first lots to be sold; and the weather remained dry throughout the day, although thick coats were needed to keep out the brisk wind.”

Quality sells Scott said the impressive line-up of machinery spoke for itself and sold well. “Most was in immaculate condition, having been well maintained and barn stored over the years, and some of it really was as good as new. There were 100 included lots from local farmers as well as the machinery from the main vendor, and the selection attracted both trade and farming buyers from all over the country. “Of course, the main attractions were the John Deere 6R series tractors and the Kramer loader, but other lots which created considerable interest included the Kubota L3200 compact tractor, the Fraser flatbed trailer and a John Deere high horsepower 50-series tractor banner – believed to be from the 1980s. “The sale’s success confirmed that good quality and well-maintained equipment is continuing to sell very well.” FG

▲ The John Deere fleet included this superb 6195R DirectDrive Ultimate Edition. The tractor was new in 2018 and had worked approximately 1,850 hours. On an 18-plate, it had a front linkage, a StarFire 6000 GPS receiver, electric mirrors, LED lights and was on Michelin 16.9R30 front, and 520/85R42 rear tyres. It had been on the farm from new and achieved £78,800.

This John Deere 6130R was another 2018 model which had also been on-farm from new. Registered on a 68-plate, it had a 50kph AutoQuad powershift transmission with automatic shifting; it was AutoTracready and in very good condition having recorded only 1,080 hours. The tyres were Michelin 540/65R24 fronts and 600/65R38 rears and the winning bid was £67,300.

An impressive line-up of John Deere machinery was available for bids.

One of the older included lots on offer – this Massey Ferguson 135 was a 1974 model on an M-plate. With no VAT payable, it sold for £7,000.

One of the more unusual items sold was this collectible John Deere wall banner dating from the 1980s, and featuring 50-series tractors. In good condition, it sold for £110.

Machinery

 Sold at the end of the 2021/22 sugar beet harvesting campaign, this 2013 CTM Harpley Engineering 502+ cleaner-loader made £7,100. Auctioneer Richard Prentice takes bids on a Kuhn TL 120 flail mower which was new in 2016 but still in excellent condition. Sold at the optimum time of year for grass maintenance machinery, it made £1,000.

Presented in excellent order and with paint still on the bed – despite being 12 years old; this Larrington 14t grain trailer had a hydraulic tailgate, a cover and came with two spare tyres. It achieved an impressive but well-deserved £11,500.

Two more included lots being offered just ahead of the grass harvesting season were this pair of Massey Ferguson mowers. The front DM306 FZ-KC and rear DM306 TL-KC both had 3m working widths and were new in 2018. In excellent condition, they sold for £5,000 and £6,900 respectively.

Berthoud sprayers are always in strong demand and this Tenor 35-37 EC-Tronic 24m trailed version which arrived on the farm in March 2015 had auto shut-off, was on 13.6R48 rowcrop wheels and carried a certificate dated July 2020. It sold for £17,600.

This 1941 John Deere BW petrol tractor was another of the included lots, and it achieved £2,600 with no VAT.

This Dowdeswell 6f plough had been on the farm since it was new in the 1980s, and it sold for £1,200.

One of the smaller tractors on offer – this Kubota L3200 4wd was in very good order and had worked only 380 hours. It had a rear three-point linkage and PTO and achieved an impressive £12,500.

The farm’s Kramer KT407 telehandler was sold with pallet tines. It had a 40kph transmission, a rear pick-up hitch and a rear-view camera as well as boom suspension. New in 2019, it had been serviced by local main dealer, Doubledays, and had worked only 740 hours. Sold with the reassurance of a manufacturer warranty to June this year, it made £68,000.

This Lemken Karat 9, 4m disc and tine cultivator was also an included lot. It was new in 2017 and had been well maintained. Fitted with new tungsten points and a full set of new shims, it had a Double D ring packer, a hydraulic weight transfer system to maximise traction and was described as having been used mainly on light land. It sold for £16,200.

It was the ideal time to be selling tine drills ahead of spring cultivations – and this Kuhn Megant 600-40 DTS 6m model which was new in 2015 but wasn’t used until 2018, was an attractive proposition. With weigh scales and a Kuhn seed bag, it sold for a very impressive £19,400.

Cousins cultivation equipment has a strong reputation for build quality and this V-Form Soil Loosener had new legs and was in good order. It made £3,400.

This handy 1,000-litre trailed diesel bowser with a pump was new in 2009. In good conditions it sold for £2,700.

As always at farm sales, the workshop equipment and sundries generated as much interest from buyers as the larger machinery. Among the items sold were four John Deere tractor toolboxes which made £15–£45 each; a Snap-On tool chest (right) which sold for £350; a Sealey jack which made £75; an anvil (above right) which achieved £230; and a Stihl 039 chainsaw (above) sold with oil, safety boots and leggings, which made £360. Four sledgehammers sold together made £50.

British Sugar announces new agriculture director British Sugar has announced the appointment of Daniel Green as its new agriculture director. Daniel has a breadth of experience ranging from his family arable farming background, as well as working through various operational roles since joining British Sugar in 2003. Most recently, Daniel was factory manager at the Cantley plant, where he was instrumental in building and leading the team to transform the performance of all aspects of the plant; from receiving sugar beet, through to delivering British Sugar’s range of products to customers.

This appointment follows the departure of Peter Watson who left the business in February, after 26 years in various positions within Associated British Foods, and most recently as agriculture director for British Sugar. Daniel Green commented: “My focus is on working with our partners to share in the success of a thriving homegrown beet sugar industry. I want us to further strengthen collaborative relationships with growers, understand growers’ increasing costs and crop alternatives so sugar beet can be a profitable crop on farm, and continue the partnership work to improve ‘campaign’ for all – growers, hauliers, harvesters, and processor.”

NAAC’s new chairman to lead on safety James Bannister was elected as new NAAC chairman at the AGM on 4th March 2022. Taking over from previous chair Matt Redman, James runs an agricultural contracting business in the Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire borders spreading manures and lime, alongside crop spraying. In 1998, James’s life drastically changed when he lost his left arm in a farm accident, having become entangled in a potato harvester. It has taken over 20 years to successfully rebuild his life and business, JLR Farm

Services, and James is now in a position to want to help others stay safe on farms. “If just one person changes the way they operate, based on my experience, that will be one life potentially saved,” commented James. “In my new role as NAAC chairman, I want to drive the Association forward, whilst putting particular focus on trying to improve our dreadful industry safety record.” NAAC is working hard to ensure that contractors can future-proof their businesses, supporting farmers in building sustainable and productive operations, whilst protecting the environment and animal welfare.
