Editor’s View

What’s that got to do with the price of diesel? Keep an eye on developments following EU trade chief Maros Sefcovic's negotiations with the United States at the G20 trade ministers’ meeting. The results could affect the price you pay for a tank of red diesel. In January 2026, farmers paid around £0.65–£0.70/l. The shock of the US bombing of Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz disrupted the oil market and prices shot up overnight. A reprieve came in the summer when geopolitical headwinds changed briefly. But renewed conflict in the Persian Gulf soon saw prices rise again. At the beginning of October, red diesel prices were around £0.50/l higher than at the start of the year. Then President Trump threatened to restrict US diesel exports in keeping with his ‘America First’ political philosophy. Britain is pretty exposed here. We rely on America for a third of our diesel imports. The EU has reserves of diesel. Releasing some of these could slow or possibly reverse the upward pressure on prices. The timing of any possible release of reserves has been a topic of discussion in Mr Sefcovic’s negotiations with his American counterparts. Here in the UK, back in June, tax was reduced on red diesel from 10.18p/l down to 6.48p/l. This discount is due to end on December 31st. If the government is serious about food security, then it must support farmers by committing (at the very least) to preserving this discount into 2027. AS114563

GRAIN & FERTILISER update

Would UK agriculture be better off back in the EU? Discuss. Now that’s an essay question that any examiner worth their salt should set, and one that Cecilia Pryce, head of research, compliance and shipping at Openfield, hopes the NFU has a word-perfect response for. What would you as farmers feel if it was addressed at you and you had two hours to write a five-page submission? I honestly believe it’s a question we all need to seriously start asking ourselves. The question is how do you even start? I would suggest you list all the things that you think or know have Cecilia Pryce, head of research, affected compliance & shipping. you as a farming unit since Brexit. Most would probably start with the financial impact that you have felt against your farming contemporaries in the EU when it comes to ‘support payments’. Then maybe the SFI quest, has it been a good thing or a bad thing financially or for the good of the farming unit and the environment? Every sector of agriculture will have their own unique thoughts on just how much divergence has impacted them since we withdrew from the EU. How many farmers would be able to list the chemistry/PPP that has been approved in GB but not currently in the EU, that may currently be sitting in your chemistry store ready for this year’s growing season? How many would know what the Tariff Rate Quotas are for imports of cereals into GB? How many would know the current divergence between GB and the EU on precision breeding regulations? The point is, much has changed and divergence between the UK and the EU gets wider as time goes on. Despite many EU regulations being written directly into UK law, even the current discussions around the SPS agreements are not easy to conclude and have no

timeline after over a year plus of discussions. If I was a cynic, I would say any thought to re-enter the EU is a great way for the country to haemorrhage cash setting up offices full of individuals to learn what they currently don’t know. This means that every sector of the economy will need to heavily invest in their trade representatives giving the answers to the opening essay question which is ironically what we did when the Brexit vote was first won! The next question I would ask everyone in UK agriculture is what does real farming in 2030 look like? It would be good to know what rules and regulations are in place and what our countries land is producing and how changes are monitored and instigated? Are we a land of data banks and solar panels with the odd country park? Has urban sprawl encroached due to farmers having no option financially other than to sell more and more land for development? Can I suggest you think about the above when drilling your crops for Harvest 2027? Finally, is food security government subsidising food for those that can’t afford it or making sure we have enough grown in our own country?

Fertiliser matters During September, fertiliser buying activity increased ahead of rising prices as the Iran/US conflict continued to disrupt markets and impact production costs. European gas prices hit the highest levels seen since January 2023 impacting production costs and resulting in curtailed production where economics no longer support full operating rates. This provides an opportunity for manufacturers to carry out routine maintenance. Several producers have cut ammonia output

in response to elevated gas prices, including OCI Nitrogen in the Netherlands and Achema in Lithuania, although Lucy Hassall, Openfield’s neither fertiliser manager. company has disclosed the volumes affected or how long the reduced rates are expected to last. Lithuanian producer Achema is one of the largest suppliers of Nitrogen to the UK market, and both of its ammonia lines are under maintenance throughout October, according to market sources. This extended ammonia outage means no new fertiliser production including UAN, AN and CAN is expected until November lending support to prices. Global granular urea prices have remained supported, with firm values across North Africa, Europe and much of Asia. Prices are likely to remain firm in the coming weeks as India have announced a new 1.7million tonne purchase tender, along with seasonal demand from both Europe and Brazil. FG

DEFRA outlines next steps for SFI Amelia and Jason Greenway.

“We especially want to hear from those who lost out about what this will mean for how they farm the land without the assistance that they might have received from the SFI.”

Farmers left out of pocket

Many farm businesses were left disappointed after missing out on funding through the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) in September. DEFRA has now announced plans to reshape the scheme for next year. Charlie Reeve reports. The dust has now settled following an extremely chaotic day on 22nd September when £253m in funding through Window 2 of SFI26 was snapped up in under six hours. More than 12,000 applications were submitted during Window 2, although IT issues left some farmers and agents unable to apply. Ministers are now exploring alternatives to a first-come, first-served application process for SFI in 2027, following heavy criticism from farmers, industry groups and other political parties. NFU president Tom Bradshaw said: “Farmers charged with producing the nation’s food, delivering for nature and building the resilience of their businesses have been left high, dry and desperate. “We now have SFI ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’, based purely on the speed of pressing a button.” More than 100 Conservative MPs signed a joint letter criticising the handling of the scheme, calling it “shambolic” and warning that thousands of farmers face severe financial uncertainty as a result. Dozens of Liberal Democrat MPs also wrote to DEFRA secretary Dame Angela Eagle to voice their concerns and urge DEFRA to publish a “clear, fully funded timetable” for the next application window. DEFRA farming minister Stephen Morgan said: “I know some farmers who wanted to join SFI26 will be deeply disappointed not to have secured an agreement during Window 2, particularly given the challenges the sector has faced this year. “I have heard those concerns and am determined to work closely with farmers as we learn lessons from this year and shape SFI27,

including exploring alternatives to a first-come, first-served application process.”

SFI 2027 to open early DEFRA has also confirmed it will look to open the 2027 SFI offer as “early as possible” to ensure farmers can access funding. The NFU has called for the next round of the scheme to begin offering agreements from 1 April 2027. The Tenant Farmers Association (TFA) has also urged DEFRA to open it earlier next year but added that DEFRA should carefully consider how funding is allocated when the next window opens. It called for the application system to be made “fairer and more proportionate”, adding that some of its members who missed out on funding were now facing “very concerning financial issues”. The Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (EFRA) Select Committee, which scrutinises the work of DEFRA, is inviting farmers to share their experiences of applying for SFI. Liberal Democrat MP and EFRA Committee chair Alistair Carmichael said: “So many farmers were disappointed by the SFI application process and have been left in a place where planning their business is more difficult than ever. “We want to hear from as many farmers and land agents as possible about what their experiences were on the day and since then.

Yorkshire farmer Alison Silver started the application for SFI Window 2 but did not manage to upload it in time. “We’ve had everything ready on the system, and when we were trying to press the confirm button, it just kept coming up with a message that said: ‘there’s a problem; try again later’. At the time we didn’t know the scheme had already closed. “We were well prepared, had everything ready, and still we weren’t able to apply because the system crashed. It was an outrageous system and very difficult to navigate.” The Allerton Project, a 320ha demonstration farm in Leicestershire, was unable to submit its application due to technical issues, leaving a £55,000 funding gap. Joe Stanley, head of training and partnerships at the Allerton Project, said: “SFI was going to replace our expiring scheme at the end of this year, and that was going to support our fantastic work across this farm to support nature and food production.” Devon farmers, Amelia and James Greenway, were more fortunate and applied for £15,000 in funding. Ms Greenway said: “I put my application in at quarter past three, and it ended at quarter to four. So, I was very lucky. I had to act very quickly.” Willem Puddy, head of rural at accountancy firm Old Mill, advised businesses who had missed out on funding to establish what the anticipated SFI payments would have contributed to their business. He said: “Consider whether planned expenditure was reliant on the funding, whether costs can be adjusted, and what this means for working capital.” Mark Chatterton, head of agriculture at advisory firm Duncan & Toplis, added: “Some investments will remain worthwhile, particularly those that can improve productivity, reduce costs or support the long-term performance of the farm. “But it could make sense for others to be delayed, phased or reconsidered.” FG Alison Silver.

Pig producers face mounting losses as NPA seeks government support

The financial prospects for pig producers continue to look bleak in the short-term, according to Quality Meat Scotland (QMS), with high input costs and farmgate prices well below breakeven levels. Market specialists at QMS said a small uptick in pig prices during September suggested conditions had improved slightly but warned that producers continued to face major challenges caused by increased pig numbers, heavier carcase weights and low prices. The National Pig Association (NPA) has submitted formal proposals to DEFRA seeking immediate financial assistance and longer-term support measures to stabilise the sector. DEFRA farming minister Stephen Morgan asked the NPA to develop a comprehensive support package over summer, following a

meeting discussing the impact of continued instability in the pig market on producers. The NPA said low prices had been driven by oversupply, difficult market conditions and falling prices across Europe, alongside an unprecedented number of processor contract terminations this year. In an NPA member survey completed in July by around 25% of its independent producer members, almost half of respondents said they had been served notice on their contracts. This development has come during a period of exceptionally low prices, especially on the spot market, with some farms reportedly losing roughly £50 per pig. South Yorkshire pig farmer Stephen Thompson, who keeps 220 indoor sows, said although his farm was not faring as badly as

others, it was still losing around £30 on every pig sold. He said: “We’re losing £30 a pig at the moment, which equates to about £2,500 per week.” Mr Thompson, who sells around 20% of his pigs through his on-farm butchery and the remainder on contract, also said the losses were not confined to the spot market. He added: “We don’t sell on the spot market. Around 20% go through our on-farm butchery, and the rest go on contract. However, even on contract, we’re still losing money.” Mr Thompson had observed the situation deteriorating over the past six months but expected conditions to improve next spring. “The industry will pick up again in March or April next year, just like we’ve seen with the milk market recently,” he suggested. Mr Thompson also raised concerns about continued volatility across parts of the food supply chain, adding that: “The way markets work is resulting in a loss of food security. It’s only going to take a major disaster somewhere to turn global food markets into chaos.” FG

Norfolk Farm Machinery Club celebrates 80th anniversary The Norfolk Farm Machinery Club (NORMAC) celebrated their 80th anniversary in style with a members’ dinner at the Norfolk Food Hall. In 1946, as Britain turned its attention to rebuilding its economy following the Second World War, a group of Norfolk farmers formed a machinery club to pool knowledge of and share enthusiasm for the latest agricultural technologies. Eighty years later, the club is still going strong. On the last Saturday in September, members gathered to eat locally sourced ‘farm-tofork’ food and listen to industry speakers. The chair of the machinery dealership, Ben Burgess & Co Ltd, Ben Turner welcomed members and thanked past presidents of the club for creating a legacy that everyone could be proud of. He introduced his son, Ben B Turner (newly in post as managing director of the company) who spoke about his role as a trustee to the Clan Trust: a Norfolk based charitable trust that supports farmers and their communities. Following a delicious starter and main course, Matthew Smart, founder and director of Rural Asset Finance, took to the lectern to talk about farm diversification. He said “75% of farmers have diversified into other ventures and we have a wide remit to support them.” Mr Smart’s company has been helping farmers buy the land and equipment they need for over 25 years. After dinner speaker, Charlie Flint kept members entertained with tales of his days as a tenant farmer for the National Trust in Hampshire. The final speaker had, perhaps, the most

important message of the evening. John Fielder’s wife sadly passed away, leaving him devastated. The comradeship he found from people involved in NORMAC and similar projects was life changing. He declared to full support from the room: “We’re all here to help each other.” That’s what NORMAC has done for 80 years, let’s make sure that it continues to offer support to farmers in East Anglia for another 80 years and beyond.

NEWS IN BRIEF H5N5 bird flu confirmed in Scotland Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N5 has been confirmed at a premises in Ness on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland. The Scottish Government confirmed that a 3km protection zone and a 10km surveillance zone are in place. The risk of incursion of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5 infection in wild birds is low, according to the experts. The risk of poultry and

captive bird exposure to HPAI H5 across Great Britain is low where biosecurity is sub-optimal and very low where stringent biosecurity measures are applied. In 2025, there were a total of 1,709 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreaks in the United Kingdom. There were 1,659 incidents of H5N1, 43 cases of H5Nx and seven cases of H5N5 (five cases in England and two in Scotland).

Spreading never stops for Shropshire contractor For the team at Ian Childe Agricultural Services, a bumper spring spreading workload rolls into summer grassland applications before chasing combines around the county at harvest. Ian says it’s a part of the business that he never expected to be so important. “It was pure chance that we got into manure spreading, but since then we’ve grown organically to a point where customers are requesting greater accuracy and technology. We now apply a wide range of manures and nutrients, with the weigh cells and Isobus on the spreaders recording every tonne for compliance and managing nutrient inputs.” Based at Ludlow, Shropshire, Ian Childe Agricultural Contracting operates across 86 miles, applying 150k tonnes of chicken litter, sewage cake, farmyard manure, clean water waste and gypsum annually through the Bunning machines. The current fleet consists of a Lowlander 150 HBD single axle machine and, the latest addition,

a twin-axle Lowlander 250 HBD, making this the eleventh Bunning spreader run by Ian. This replaced a previous Lowlander 150 HBD last year and the bigger model was chosen for a variety of reasons. “We needed to replace one of our 150s to increase carrying capacity and spread this weight over four 750/60 R26.5 flotation tyres, rather than two larger diameter, narrower ones. We’re now doing twice as much work in a shorter space of time to meet customer requirements and weather windows.” The larger carrying capacity is also matched by the spreader’s running gear, with two 20mm floor chains moving full width floor slats, powered by a 10,000Nm floor drive gearbox. The spreading deck and beater gearbox is also rated up to 400hp. The full application rate controller through Isobus means the spreader will vary its floor speed to meet the target rate, with full mapping and coloured application maps available for exporting to customers. Both models can spread

The carrying capacity has risen from 15t on the Lowlander 150, to 25t on the Lowlander 250, which has helped the team manage demand. Getting on land early is key for applications on potato and sugar beet ground, before early topdressing into cereal crops and maize.

“Spreading into standing cereal crops during the spring is now a common task, so having the wheels under the spreader body allows us to travel in taller crops with the discs set higher than on the 150 models. The 250 HBD has also improved road transport, with the new machine such a success that we are planning to have another one when the 150 needs replacing,” adds Ian. FG

New planning policy contains “opportunities for farmers” to develop alternative sources of income, as well as an easier route to on-farm development that benefits food production, animal welfare or the environment,” says Ben Wood, head of sales at independent agrilender Rural Asset Finance. “Whether you’re looking to grow your traditional arable or livestock enterprise, or say, convert redundant farm buildings, develop tourism revenue with features such as glamping pods or a fishing lake, or invest in initiatives that make your business more efficient, diverse and sustainable, the new framework could make it easier than it’s ever been.”

Diversification can bring a huge boost to a farming business – and hopefully the government’s new planning policy could make it easier than ever to convert or construct buildings. Local planners must now give “substantial weight” to applications by agricultural businesses wanting to thrive in today’s modern farming landscape, according to the newly announced National Planning Policy Framework. The rules, which came into effect in August, back “the development and diversification of agricultural and other land-based businesses” –

and specifically mention converting existing buildings or constructing new ones, as well as initiatives that promote tourism. That’s great news for farmers, for whom planning has traditionally been one of the biggest obstacles to diversifying and developing an additional revenue stream. “This significantly opens up all sorts of opportunities for farmers

Post-Brexit strategy Around 73% of British farmers have diversified in some form to boost their income since Brexit spelled the end of EU subsidies. The framework, essentially the new rule book for planning will, says Ben, help farmers to consolidate or expand those new areas of their business – and perhaps encourage farmers who have not yet felt able to take that step. “These new rules don’t just give you the chance to expand or diversify your business revenue streams for today,” he says. “That extra revenue can secure your farm’s future for generations to come.”

The right finance package But it’s not just supportive planners and a clear, relevant planning framework that make diversification easier – the right finance package also makes a huge difference. “Any diversification project obviously requires investment,” says Ben. “But we all know farming also throws up unexpected challenges every day. So you need a lender who can help you make that investment while protecting your cashflow to cope with those regular ups and downs of

normal farming life.” Rural Asset Finance offers flexible packages tailored to each business’s individual financial peaks and troughs – structuring secured loans, often in tandem with fixed-term, fixed-rate hire purchase or leasing facilities. And because Rural Asset Finance’s team has all run or worked on farms, the company truly understands the intricacies of how your business works. “The launch of the new planning framework makes this a great time to look at that extra revenue stream, or to build resilience into your existing business model,” adds Ben. “We’ve financed new grain stores, glasshouses, reservoirs, renewable energy installations and many bespoke diversifications including padel courts, garden centres, glamping, lets, lakes, vineyards – but we love innovation too, so if you’ve got a new idea, talk to us!” And even if you’re not ready to diversify yet, you may want to just consolidate your existing farm debt into a new repayment profile and term that is tailored to the new world of Sustainable Farming Incentive and grant funding that replaced the Basic Payment Scheme. Rural Asset Finance can support you with this transition. The rules within the National Planning Policy Framework also say that “substantial weight” should be given to planning applications with “benefits for domestic food production, animal welfare and/ or the environment”. That means less bureaucracy when planning to build or upgrade, say, a new livestock building or grain store, or perhaps adding value with a reservoir or solar panel installation.

Why clean solar panels? With the summer of record low rainfall, solar panels have had fewer opportunities for even natural surface rinsing. During prolonged dry periods, dust, pollen and other airborne debris can build up on the panels. For agricultural installations, this can be a particular concern. Farms generate dust and airborne debris from everyday activities. Panels installed on livestock buildings, including pig and poultry sheds, can be exposed to additional contamination from roof-mounted extraction systems. As dirt and debris accumulate, they create shading across the surface of the panels and potentially reduce the ability to generate electricity efficiently. For farms looking to maximise the return from

their solar investment, keeping panels clean is an important part of regular system maintenance. Hugh Crane supplies the SolaTecs solar panel cleaning system, developed to provide an efficient alternative to conventional manual cleaning methods. This rotating brush system requires no electric motor within the brush head. It connects to a suitable pressure washer, with water power driving the internal mechanism and rotating brushes. Water is distributed through the cleaning head to remove accumulated dirt and debris from the panel surface. For advice on selecting the most suitable solar panel cleaning equipment for your farm, contact William Crane www.hughcrane.co.uk. FG

ARABLE Islands of LG Caravelle where the barley has managed to grow and cope with wet soils – the variety tolerates wet feet where other varieties go yellow.

WINTER BARLEY THAT OUTCOMPETES BLACK-GRASS Caravelle has reaffirmed its position as a go-to option for growers wanting a cereal with strong competitive ability against black-grass and other weeds. For the fifth successive year, the two-row variety from Limagrain Field Seeds has been among the top performers in Agrii’s black-grass competition trials, held on heavy land, at Stow Longa in Cambridgeshire. The trials rate winter wheat and barley varieties on a 1-4 scale, based on an evaluation of their competitiveness and performance, taking into account crop yield, (with and without herbicides), and the physical effects on black-grass ear numbers and size. In 2025/26, LG Caravelle gave the highest two-row yield in the trials, by 0.5 t/ha, the highest crop ear count, and some of the lowest levels of black-grass ears in both herbicidetreated and untreated plots, earning it another three-star rating, according to Agrii seed technical manager, John Miles. “Yet again, the variety has outperformed other two-rows scoring just two stars, and matches conventional six-row barleys,” he says. “Generally, two-rows can be very competitive early-on, but because they are shorter than hybrids, decentsized black-grass heads can still appear above the crop later in the season. LG Caravelle does have a bit of

height about it, and reasonably leafy structure. “It is interesting that LG Caravelle is bucking this trend and consistently performing so well compared with other two-rows.” This year’s result is no anomaly, as LG Caravelle has shown similarly impressive results over several very different seasons.

Past successes In 2022, Mr Miles says LG Caravelle yielded top of the trials in both scenarios, due to high tiller number, and had noticeably lower black-grass ears coming out of the top of the canopy. “This is what stood out, so we rated it provisionally like a conventional six-row type at three stars. In 2023, the story was repeated, top yielding, even with close to 100 ears/m2 of black-grass in the untreated plots. “High crop ear number in 2024 gave a noticeably lower black-grass ear count than any other two-row type in the trial, and in 2025, again, there was higher crop ear number than any other, while yields and blackgrass numbers were in the top three of the two-row types.”

Why is LG Caravelle so competitive? A big factor in LG Caravelle’s competitiveness is its high tillering ability, says Limagrain’s arable technical manager, Ron Granger. This is especially beneficial in a black-grass situation during earlier growth stages, when strong crop competition helps to achieve the target final tiller number of 775/ m2 (as indicated in the AHDB Barley growth guide for good yield potential). “Generally, as we have seen from the ADAS Yield Enhancement Network (YEN), growers are achieving higher yield potential from securing a higher final tiller count. Remember, compared to wheat, barley has less scope to compensate for low plant populations by increasing grain number in each ear, as each spikelet holds only one or three florets.” Specific weight also has an important role in a black-grass situation, by providing security for final yield potential, he adds. “When barley is competing against black-grass for

resources, it will have an impact on final grain size and specific weight – starting with a high specific weight is a security for final yield potential.” At 71.7kg/hl, LG Caravelle has the highest specific weight of all two-row barley varieties on the 2026/27 AHDB Recommended List. “Combine the black-grass competition with the disease resistance package, and it’s a nobrainer for me,” says Mr Miles. “One other aspect we have noticed in trials is the LG Caravelle ‘islands’ [see picture]. Over the past three years, we have had some barley trials with wet feet over winter. LG Caravelle seems able to tolerate wet feet better and when those all around it are turning yellow or disappearing, it stays.”

ARABLE Aside from variety choice, growers are advised to pay close attention to seed rates to maximise crop competition, and be realistic about the establishment percentage they can expect to achieve, especially on heavy land. “At Stow Longa, where seed rates are typically 350-375/m2, we regularly see 50-55% emergence at best, so on heavy soils I question whether people are putting enough seed on,” says Mr Miles. “If seed rates are too low, it’s giving black-grass an opportunity.” He supports the use of variable seed rates where there are black-grass patches in a field, as upping seed rate slightly can be a good value control strategy, provided that lodging risk is managed. Of all the control options for black-grass, delayed drilling is widely regarded as being one of the most effective, but this can sometimes be challenging to do when establishing winter

crops before the autumn weather window closes.

Scope to delay drilling On many farms, winter barley is often one of the first crops to be sown, but Mr Granger believes there is scope to delay, just as in a wheat scenario, and allow that important flush of blackgrass to be controlled before drilling. “You don’t have to drill winter barley too early,” he says. “Varieties such as LG Caravelle will tiller strongly, even when sown a bit later, so you can be patient. “In practice, winter barley could be drilled quite easily up to December, but of course, it’s not standard procedure. Up to the end of October will be fine in most scenarios, but just

then also requires warm temperatures to drive leaf development and control the final number of leaves initiated. “Barley doesn’t like the cold, hence why we tend to drill the crop earlier so that the required high tiller numbers are established well before winter takes hold.” FG

Ready for the weed challenges of tomorrow Innovation is essential to help agronomists and farmers stay ahead of arable weeds, with reliable control today while helping to limit the development of herbicide resistance. Subject to registration, two new Bayer Crop Science UK co-formulations are on the horizon. A co-formulation of aclonifen + diflufenican, expected in 2027, contains two effective and persistent actives, providing a strong partner in your herbicide programme. In 2028, a co-formulation of bixlozone + diflufenican + mefenpyr is expected. It includes bixlozone, the only HRAC Group 13 active in UK cereals, supporting greater mode of action diversity and resistance management within the programme.

Planning the next move on autumn weed control Favourable autumn conditions have helped cereal crops get off to a strong start, with many growers getting pre-emergence herbicides on at the right timing. The focus now turns to protecting crop potential by keeping weeds under control.

John Cussans, weed science principal consultant at ADAS.

“If we think solely about weed control, then we have had a couple of generally good years with favourable conditions for autumn drilling and pre-ems. We also have a good range of effective residual chemistry available, so it is possible to control weeds in the crop,” says John Cussans of ADAS. “The bigger picture is more difficult, with hot, dry summers affecting yield while profitability in farming is a real struggle due to wider economic problems. This affects weed control because some farmers are opting to drill earlier to maximise yield and looking for ways to reduce outgoings. But you have to be careful how you go about it.” According to John, earlier-drilled crops need more weed control, which costs more. You can’t drill early and then try to spend less on weed control while expecting a good result. Farmers who have drilled early are committing to a certain level of investment in the crop. He adds that there are no guarantees with any approach; delayed drilling and spring crops both have their own challenges. “Later drilling inherently reduces the number of black-grass plants in the crop, but active management with herbicides and ensuring appropriate seed rates to get a good crop canopy are needed for that to translate into a reduction in headcounts. Black-grass can tiller extensively where later-drilled crops are thin and less suppressive of weeds.”

Planning the follow-up application Bayer technical manager Rachel Banks agrees that the crops need attention to detail on weed management this autumn, but she has not seen a massive shift to early drilling. “In the East of England, where I am based, most wheat crops went in at the normal time. The weather was fairly settled, so farmers had the confidence to wait until late September to start. Most crops have had at least the pre-em, www.farmersguide.co.uk | November 2026 19

but we can still expect further germination that needs to be controlled.” “The most important thing is to work out what you are trying to achieve from the next herbicide application. Residual herbicides work pre-emergence of the weed, so any residual application is about preventing any germination for the rest of autumn into early winter.”

She points out that, against black-grass, two to three weeks postdrilling is the usual timing for the follow-up because black-grass has a tighter germination window. Against Italian ryegrass and some brome species, four weeks is better because of protracted germination well into November. “If black-grass is the target, then you need to get out there and

spray as soon as possible. Longevity is helpful, but you really need to focus on high levels of immediate control. Alternator®, Cadou® or Octavian® (metribuzin + flufenacet + diflufenican) may be a good option. The metribuzin has some contact activity against established weeds and can work on newly germinating weeds through the roots, like flufenacet. It’s also good on groundsel, which is a problem in some regions.” She adds that farmers who only used 1 l/ha Proclus® (aclonifen) at pre-emergence have the option to include 0.4 l/ha in the second residual application. The 0.4 l/ha application up to the three-leaf stage of the crop in wheat and barley is a change to the label this season. Adding Proclus as an extra mode of action to the tank mix has improved control in trials. Aclonifen is also an inherently persistent active, so applying 0.4 l/ ha in the second residual application extends the longevity of the programme later into the season, which can be invaluable against Italian ryegrass.

Contact chemistry “If there is already a significant weed population in the crop,

then a contact-acting herbicide might be a good option. You can get good results with Atlantis OD (mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron) in autumn because weeds are small, so even black-grass or Italian ryegrass with metabolic resistance can be overwhelmed with a timely application.” “First of all, you need the right conditions to spray: a bright day with active growth is ideal. Secondly, you can only use one ALS herbicide each season – so do you want to keep something in reserve for spring? As ever, it depends on what’s in your field. If you’re expecting lots of spring wild oats, I would probably save Atlantis for spring. If it’s mainly blackgrass, then go in autumn if you can.” John Cussans offers a note of caution for anyone relying on springapplied herbicides. “There are options to control weeds in spring; even some populations of black-grass and Italian ryegrass are still sensitive to contact chemistry. But you really are at the mercy of conditions. Some years, it’s too wet, windy or waterlogged to apply at a suitable timing; other years, it can work quite well. But you can’t rely on it as Plan A. That has to be the autumn programme.” FG

UK seed update from Sesvanderhave

Sesvanderhave confirms that it has secured supplies of Rampart for use during the UK use-up period in 2027. As all the company’s seed is primed and treated at its main processing facility in Tienen, Belgium, Sesvanderhave will supply its full UK seed requirement treated with Force + Tachigaren + Rampart. The addition of Rampart provides protection against Rhizoctonia solani and Phoma betae, ensuring that growers

continue to benefit from a high level of seed protection. At a time when future treatment options are becoming increasingly limited, growers can be confident of continued commitment to delivering the very best seed and crop establishment support. As 2027 is the final use-up year for Rampart-treated seed, any seed

carried over from the Spring 2027 season must not be sown in Spring 2028. Growers can continue to buy with confidence from Sesvanderhave. Every variety in the company’s portfolio is supported by an extensive internal trials programme and the unique Club SV grower network. This network includes more than 70 growers conducting commercial-scale, onfarm trials across a wide range of soil types and growing conditions. By combining data from its research programme with real-world farm performance, Sesvanderhave can rigorously evaluate promising new genetics before they are introduced to the market. The 2027 portfolio includes proven performers such as Antler, Gadwall, and the BCN-tolerant Hoopoe, all of which have delivered outstanding results in official trials and commercial production. Antler has been particularly impressive, with many growers and Club SV members achieving yields

in excess of 100 tonnes per hectare. The variety continues to perform strongly, especially in situations where crops established early and were able to access available moisture. Alongside these established performers, Sesvanderhave will be introducing three new BCN-tolerant varieties for 2027: Mallard, Newt and Petrel. These additions demonstrate the strength of the company’s breeding programme and its commitment to developing genetics capable of meeting the evolving challenges facing UK sugar beet growers. With seed processing now underway at the Tienen facility, it is important that seed requirements are secured as early as possible in order to reserve the best available stocks for the 2027 season. Growers can now order direct from Sesvanderhave. To discuss requirements and secure your preferred varieties, please contact the company via sesvanderhave. com/uk/contact FG

Aiming to improve establishment with every pass Agriweld has a new trailed ‘Agri-Press’ that has been engineered for adaptability and cultivation, giving operators control over how they approach varying ground conditions. Up-front, the Agri-Press gives farmers flexibility: the ability to change between the front options is designed to be user-friendly and time-efficient. Pigtail tines offer valuable aeration and shattering, for loosening soils and working through stones without disruption. For those tackling tougher ground, rigid tines provide deeper cultivation, helping to open the profile and improve rooting potential. And when residue management is the priority, concave

discs deliver fast, aggressive mixing to keep operations moving efficiently. The mid-section’s spring tine paddles refine the surface, breaking remaining clods and spreading soil evenly. This levelling action is crucial for achieving a smooth, consistent finish that supports accurate drilling and even emergence. At the rear, the Agri-Press brings together two features that define its finishing capability. Twin 760mm diameter hardened ARS steel press rings deliver heavy, uniform consolidation for improved moisture retention, a firm finish and reliable depth control. Working in tandem, the pivoting wings ensure those rings

follow ground contours accurately, maintaining full-width consistency and producing a uniform seedbed even across uneven land. Optional wheel eradicator tines further enhance the finish by removing

wheeling compaction. For growers who want a seedbed they can trust, the manufacturer claims that the Agri-Press provides strong, dependable cultivation built for real-world farming. FG

Balanced nutrition key to winter cereal establishment Following a difficult 2026 season, growers are being urged to focus on nutrient efficiency, not quantity, to build yield potential from the outset. Establishment is fundamental to building yield potential in winter cereals, and achieving strong, vigorous establishment depends on getting the right nutrients in the right place at the right time, according to Tim Kerr, head of crop nutrition at Hutchinsons. “Amid a very mixed harvest, some crops have performed particularly well,” he says. “Almost without exception, these were established in good conditions and then managed to fulfil the potential created in those early weeks. Establishment isn’t simply about getting a crop out of the ground. It’s about creating the foundations for yield.”

Putting phosphate where roots can find it In the early stages of growth, cereal roots explore only a small volume of soil, which makes access to available nutrients critical. Phosphate is fundamental to early root development, but it is relatively immobile in the soil, points out Mr Kerr. “In simple terms, the roots need to find the phosphate, rather than the phosphate moving towards the roots,” he explains. Placing phosphate close to the seed concentrates it within the soil volume explored by young roots. This increases the chance of root–

phosphate contact and improves early uptake. “When every decision during establishment can influence how the crop develops, making sure phosphate is where young roots need it makes agronomic sense,” he says.

Making every kilogram work harder Phosphate prices have risen steeply because of geopolitical and supply pressures. Russian supplies have become less accessible to Western buyers, which has tightened global availability. At the same time, instability in the Middle East has pushed sulphur prices higher. “Sulphur matters because of how phosphate fertilisers are made,” explains Mr Kerr. “Producing TSP and DAP requires sulphur, which is converted into sulphuric acid to process phosphate rock into plantavailable fertiliser. As sulphur prices rise, so do manufacturing costs, and those costs are ultimately reflected in the price growers pay.” This makes improving phosphate-use efficiency more important than ever. Broadcasting TSP in the autumn can be inefficient, particularly where soil reserves are already adequate. Meanwhile, the growing availability of placement systems on drills is driving renewed interest in combination drilling, www.farmersguide.co.uk | November 2026 25

ARABLE “…reminiscent of the days when the iconic Massey Ferguson 30 was a common sight on British farms,” he adds. Microgranular fertilisers offer another way to get more value from phosphate. They place a far greater number of small granules within the seed zone, which dramatically increases the number of potential root–fertiliser contact points. “The objective isn’t to apply more phosphate, but to put the available phosphate where the developing crop can access it most effectively,” says Mr Kerr. A better understanding of phosphate chemistry is helping growers make more of existing soil reserves. Phosphate is highly reactive and can quickly become fixed in less-available forms. Strategies that reduce fixation or mobilise soil phosphate can improve availability without increasing application rates.

“Nitrogen-use efficiency is widely discussed, but it isn’t simply about how much nitrogen is applied,” he says. “Once nitrogen has been taken up, the plant needs a range of supporting nutrients to convert it into growth, protein and yield.” Each of those supporting nutrients has a specific role: • Manganese supports

photosynthesis and enzyme activity. • Zinc plays a role in root growth and hormone regulation. • Sulphur is essential for amino acid and protein synthesis. • Magnesium is central to chlorophyll formation, photosynthesis and energy transfer. A deficiency in any of these can restrict growth long before nitrogen becomes limiting. “Every season we carry out hundreds of tissue tests across a wide range of crops and conditions, and they consistently tell us the same thing,” says Mr Kerr. “Nitrogen is rarely the nutrient in short supply. More often, the nutrients that enable the crop to use nitrogen effectively are the ones limiting performance, particularly sulphur, magnesium, zinc and boron. “Applying more nitrogen will rarely compensate for a deficiency in one of these. Instead, it can mean poorer nitrogen-use efficiency, higher Tim Kerr, head of crop nutrition at Hutchinsons.

production costs and a lower return on fertiliser investment.”

From quantity to efficiency With fertiliser prices elevated, Mr Kerr believes the emphasis needs to shift from nutrient quantity to nutrient efficiency. “For phosphate, that means considering how much is applied, and where it’s placed, how available it is and how effectively the root system can reach it,” he says. “For the wider programme, make sure the crop has the supporting nutrients it needs to turn nitrogen into yield. “The principle is simple: the right nutrient, in the right place, at the right time. Whether that’s through placement, microgranulars, mobilising soil reserves or better nutritional balance, the aim is the same. We want to establish the crop quickly, build a strong root system and create the foundations for maximum yield. “A well-established crop is better equipped to cope with whatever the season brings. After the challenges of 2026, making sure crops are nutritionally balanced and ready for 2027 has never been more important.” FG

Trials show improvement in nitrogen efficiency Trials that have taken place over the last five years have shown that 150kg of nitrogen in a winter wheat crop is sufficient when complemented with foliar applications of Pro Growth, the manufacturer claims. Pro-Growth is a fully formulated foliar feed, comprising a 14:7:7 base with all the essential micronutrients, an amino acid complex and biologicals. It is well documented that applying nitrogen to the soil is only 40–60% efficient, whereas foliar applications are 90–95% efficient. Tricet’s trials are evidence that using Pro-Growth increases nitrogen efficiency. In early farm trials at Sparsholt Manor Farms in Oxfordshire, Piers Cowling, the farm manager reduced his nitrogen application

to 140kg of N/ha, along with three applications of Pro-Growth. He found no reduction in yield compared with the farm standard of 225kg N/ha. This produced a saving of £35.00/ha. Reducing the amount of nitrogen applied to the soil improves soil health and reduces the farm’s carbon footprint. FG

LIVESTOCK More than 150 cattle competed at UK Dairy Day.

QUALITY CATTLE ON SHOW AT UK DAIRY DAY There was a strong turnout of farmers, trade stands, and top-quality cattle at the 12th annual UK Dairy Day in Telford, Shropshire, with optimism among producers despite pressure from tight fodder supplies and bluetongue. Charlie Reeve reports.

Some of UK’s top dairy genetics were on show. More than 150 cattle were entered in the dairy classes at UK Dairy Day with stock coming from across England, Wales and Scotland, competing in the National Shows for the Ayrshire, Brown Swiss, Dairy Shorthorn, and Holstein breeds, along with classes for Guernsey and Jersey cattle. Berryholme Chief Rose, exhibited by H Wright & Son, took home the title of National Holstein Show champion, with Riverdane D-L Beauty of Riverdane Holsteins being placed reserve champion. Judges selected Middle Elkin KJM 6 from the Firm of DM Lindsay as the National Ayrshire champion. Kedar Nescardo Snickerlicious from T Lochhead & Sons was designated champion of the National Brown Swiss Show, and Churchroyd Strawberry 16 from IRG Collins & Partners was chosen as the Dairy Shorthorn Grand champion. Meanwhile, the Winter family, who run the Corringham Herd in Lincolnshire, won Holstein UK's Premier Herd competition. Iain McLean, UK Dairy Day cattle show director, commented: “Dairy cattle made the trip to Telford to showcase the UK’s top dairy genetics. Thank you to the team who work tirelessly behind the scenes to deliver the infrastructure required to enable UK Dairy Day to put on such a display.”

Vets offer bluetongue advice Seminars at the UK Dairy Day focused on bluetongue, the Dairy Roadmap, and reducing emissions through feeding and breeding decisions. The UK’s chief veterinary officer Dr Christine Middlemiss, advised farmers during a panel discussion at the event to keep vaccinating for bluetongue, with midges still active across the country due to the warm autumn weather. Dr Middlemiss, who leads the UK’s response to animal disease outbreaks, said: “There’s still vaccine coming into the country for people to use, and we still recommend vaccinating.” NFU Dairy Board chair Ian Harvey suggested that fertility in the dairy sector may have been affected by both bluetongue and drought. He added that some farms which hadn’t vaccinated may see bluetongue-infected pregnancies. “There’s a risk that at some point during that pregnancy, the calf inside could be infected, which is one loss, and the other would be whether these pregnancies go full term.” Mr Harvey added that the drought had led to roughly a twomonth delay in expected calvings for many year-round calving cows.

Anecdotal reports from industry suggested that roughly two-thirds of dairy farms had vaccinated for bluetongue. Dr Middlemiss called on farm businesses to fertility test individual tups and bulls. Meanwhile, Josh Swain, central regional lead for Synergy Farm Health, said vets were seeing more severe signs in cattle than during previous bluetongue outbreaks and the initial visual signs appear similar to foot-and-mouth (FMD) disease, although there are currently no cases of FMD in the UK. “We’re seeing lame animals out grazing with blisters and vesicles on feet, and ulcers around gums and swollen muzzles,” he said. Attention at Defra has now turned to planning for a further bluetongue outbreak next year, with the disease expected to overwinter in the UK. Dr Middlemiss concluded: “Successive days of hot weather are what’s really driven infection this year. “We can’t predict what the weather will be next summer. I can say that there will be overwintering of midges again this year, and it’s going to be wider across England than it ever has been before.”

Product launches The Aberdeen-Angus Cattle Society launched its new Dairy Beef Index at the show to support improved sire selection. Robert Gilchrist, chief executive of the society, said dairy farmers previously had to consider individual estimated breeding values (EBVs) when selecting bulls, but the new index provided a clearer picture of a bull’s suitability. The BoviSensor PAIN app, which provides a quick guide for farmers to assess pain levels in cattle, was displayed at the event by Ceva Animal Health. Also at the show, MSD Animal Health hosted a briefing on colostrum for young calves. Lely Center Midlands was awarded best large trade stand, while MSD Animal Health won best medium trade stand, and best small trade stand went to Calf Barrow. Event director Hannah Williams added: “We are proud to have yet again delivered another hugely successful event with positive feedback from sponsors, trade exhibitors, cattle exhibitors and visitors.” The event will return to Telford on 15th September 2027.

Essential disease prevention for newborn calves

Oral suspensions can help calves built up a gut microbiome.

Across the cattle industry, national surveys reveal a sobering reality: the vast majority of herd mortality occurs in calves under six months of age, Writes John Henderson MRCVS. The risk peaks sharply during the first 30 days of life. While calving difficulties and stillbirths claim the earliest losses, the danger shifts rapidly in the newborn period, where infectious diseases become the primary threat to survival. Of all calves which die from disease in the first few weeks after birth, over 50% die from scour. Another 25% are due to respiratory disease (pneumonia). Scour and pneumonia are infectious diseases so maximising the calf’s immune strength and resistance is a necessity. The immune system of the pregnant cow is extremely strong and robust. She has successfully fought off many infections in her life and as a result has created lots of different antibodies which remain vigilant for Colostrum provides essential nutrients to newborn calves.

any repeat attack. Antibodies are protein molecules which recognise specific bacteria and viruses, rapidly attacking and neutralising them. This stops the infection dead in its tracks. To prepare her calf for the outside world, she needs to donate as many of these antibodies as possible to the calf. In humans, this transfer is done directly from the mother’s bloodstream to the unborn baby through the placenta and the umbilical cord. In the cow, the design of the placenta is different and this direct transfer cannot take place. Instead, the antibodies from the cow’s bloodstream pass into the milk of the developing udder in the last 3 weeks of pregnancy. Many other vital substances such as hormones, insulin, and digestive enzymes are also transferred into the udder in this way.

Providing colostrum Much higher levels of fat, protein, vitamins and minerals are added to this first milk creating the substance known as colostrum. By feeding on the colostrum immediately after birth, the transfer process to the calf is complete. Colostrum has three primary biological functions for the newborn calf. It

provides a highly nutritious first feed to give energy and wellbeing to stand and suckle, and to generate body heat. Colostrum also provides many essential factors that the calf needs to start digestion, gut maturation, metabolism, and it delivers the antibodies that the calf needs to protect against infectious diseases. For full benefit the colostrum needs to be ingested within two to six hours of birth. After this time the calf gut starts to become unable to absorb the larger antibody molecules. As calves are usually born into an environment where hygiene is not perfect, they run a high risk of picking up the bacteria and viruses that cause scour within a short period of time. The presence of colostrum in the gut as soon as possible after birth provides good protection against these infectious agents. It can be difficult to be sure that enough of the dam’s colostrum is going to make it into the calf in a suitable timeframe. This is where Provita Colostrum becomes a lifesaver. Its formulation is based on certified disease-free dried colostrum powder fortified with additional protective antibodies and essential vitamins which help the defence of gut cells and probiotic bacteria to kickstart intestinal development. Added fats and protein ensure the nutritional needs are met. Provita Colostrum mixes easily and can be fed via teat or feeder bag. Provita’s expertise in newborn calf protection is showcased in two key products engineered specifically to drive early gut health and immune defence.

Digestive tract At birth, a calf’s digestive tract is entirely sterile, containing zero bacteria. In a perfect world, the calf inherits its vital first doses of beneficial bacteria directly from the dam. As the calf passes through the birth canal, it swallows protective mucus. Further positive bacteria are transferred naturally when the cow licks her calf and when the newborn suckles clean teats. Together, these helpful bacteria colonise the gut to build the microbiome—a powerhouse of trillions of microbes that are vital for digestion,

nutrient metabolism, vitamin production, and robust immune development. However, calving pens are rarely sterile. In unhygienic environments, newborn calves are highly likely to ingest harmful, disease-causing faecal bacteria before these beneficial bugs can gain a foothold. If dangerous pathogens claim the gut first, the development of a healthy microbiome is derailed, leaving the calf highly vulnerable to scour. This is where proactive management makes the difference. Provita Protect is the only probiotic for calves that is medicinally licensed in the UK. It contains three highly concentrated, specific strains of beneficial live bacteria. When administered shortly after birth, these friendly bacteria rapidly multiply and swamp the digestive tract. By physically crowding out dangerous pathogens before they can attach to the gut wall, it acts as the ultimate insurance policy for early health, giving the calf a dominant, protective microbiome from day one. As part of this dual-action defence strategy, Provita Response Paste also utilises beneficial bacteria and enhances it with targeted nutritional support. Formulated as a fast-acting paste, Response includes high-quality colostrum powder, egg powder, essential vitamins, and an immediate energy boost. While it can be administered immediately at birth, these extra ingredients make Response uniquely powerful for helping calves bounce back from the stresses of scour, sudden dietary transitions, or transport. Ultimately, a successful newborn calf strategy comes down to three clear objectives: • Sanitation: Ensuring the calf is born into a clean, low-pathogen environment. • Immunity: Securing immediate resilience through rapid, adequate colostrum intake. • Gut Health: Seeding the digestive tract early with dominant, beneficial bacteria. With decades of specialised experience in neonatal calf health, Provita delivers the precision tools producers need to hit these goals, protecting both herd welfare and farm profitability when it matters most.

Farmers see widening gap between highest and lowest milk prices The gap between the top and bottom 10% of farmgate milk prices paid by dairy processors has widened from 10p/litre two years ago to roughly 15p/litre in 2026, according to consultancy firm Kingshay. Charlie Reeve reports. Kingshay’s annual Dairy Costings Focus Report, covering more than 1,000 dairy herds, found persistent gaps between the top-performing 25% of herds and the average across production, health, input costs and milk price. Richard Simpson, development director at Kingshay, suggested that dairy producers on aligned milk contracts had typically received a slightly higher price compared with producers on non-aligned contracts in the past year. He added that aligned milk contracts had also maintained a steadier milk price overall, while non-aligned contracts had seen more peaks and troughs. Input costs, such as fuel and fertiliser, increased dramatically during the past year due to global events, but overall milk yields still increased to record highs. More recently, milk volumes have

dropped back, with GB milk deliveries roughly 3.5% below the same month last year during September. Mr Simpson said: “Producers have faced forage shortages amid the summer drought this year, and with forecasters predicting the strongest El Nino effect since the 19th century, there will likely be more extreme weather ahead. “But farmers are nothing if not resilient, and many will have made the most of strong margins in 2025/26 to weather the downturn.” Kingshay’s analysis found that conventional herds achieved a record average milk yield of 8,848 litres per cow in the 2025/26 milk year, 6% higher than the previous year. This reflected strong milk prices in the first half of the year, lower concentrate costs and a favourable milk-to-feed price ratio. Emma Puddy, farm services specialist at Kingshay said farmers fed 4% more concentrates, while also successfully increasing milk from forage, leading to an improved margin over purchased feed. “However, this increase in margin is much needed to cover ever-rising costs of other inputs, particularly

Farmers on aligned contracts have typically received a higher milk price throughout the past year. labour and machinery,” she added. Ms Puddy calculated that labour costs had risen to £19.99/hour, including national insurance and pension, for a senior skilled worker. “That has risen steeply over the past three years in particular, bringing the increase to 44% over the past five years.” Herd health continued to improve

with average health costs at £30,307 per herd, compared with £16,907 for the top 25%. “Lameness, mastitis and abortions offer the biggest wins, with gaps of £5,526, £3,773 and £1,203, respectively. The opportunities to reduce costs through improved health therefore remain significant,” said Ms Puddy. FG

Wynnstay launches “Heifer to Herd” at Dairy Day Wynnstay successfully unveiled its new “Heifer To Herd” concept at UK Dairy Day 2026, showcasing the latest advances in calf and heifer nutrition designed to help dairy farmers improve productivity, efficiency and long-term herd performance. The new concept, developed by Wynnstay's technical team, attracted strong interest from visitors keen to learn more about emerging approaches to successful heifer rearing. The Heifer to Herd programme brings together the latest research, focusing on optimising metabolisable protein (MP) supply alongside the strategic use of starch to support accelerated development during the critical pre-pubertal growth phase. Throughout the event, Wynnstay's technical services team met with dairy producers from across the UK to discuss how targeted nutritional management can help unlock an animal's genetic potential earlier in life, supporting improved

growth, feed efficiency and future milking performance. Rebecca Davies, head of technical services at Wynnstay, said: “The response to Heifer to Herd at UK Dairy Day was extremely positive. Farmers are increasingly looking at how they can maximise performance earlier in an animal's life, and the concept generated some excellent discussions around the role nutrition can play in achieving that.” The concept is built around key nutritional principles: • Elevated metabolisable protein supply to support lean tissue deposition and mammary development. • Strategic inclusion of highly digestible starch to fuel growth and stimulate rumen development. Visitors to the stand also heard about encouraging early results from on-farm trials, which have demonstrated improvements in daily liveweight gain, frame growth, rumen

development and feed conversion efficiency. Ms Davies added: “The UK average age at first calving is 28 months. Heifer To Herd is more than just a concept, it’s a product and road map to get your heifers to where they need to be for calving at 24 months of age. It’s backed by the latest science and research designed to rapidly develop the rumen producing strong, productive heifers.” As part of its presence at UK Dairy Day, Wynnstay showcased its latest nutritional innovations and specialist support services, reinforcing its commitment to helping dairy producers maximise herd performance and profitability from calf through to calving. Wynnstay is a leading UK manufacturer and distributor of agricultural products and services, supporting UK agriculture, with operations spanning across feed manufacturing, livestock nutritional ingredients, fertiliser and seed inputs, integrated grain marketing, and a nationwide store network.

LIVESTOCK Cheshire dairy farmer Mary Ankers

READY TO PROTECT YOUR HERD AGAINST Q FEVER

Vaccinating dairy cows against Q fever Q fever is a highly contagious zoonotic disease that can impact the health and productivity of cows. Vaccination helps protect both farmers and their herds. Q fever is an endemic zoonotic disease caused by the bacterium, Coxiella burnetii, and signs in cows include infertility, abortion, premature deaths and still born or weak calves. Transmission is generally through inhalation of the bacterium. It is shed by cattle as well as sheep and goats and other animals. Mary Ankers, who farms in Cheshire, had some fertility concerns in her herd of Holstein cows as she had been struggling with abortions, an extended calving interval time, early pregnancy losses, metritis and low heat detection. Ms Ankers said: “We discussed Q fever with our vet and decided to take milk samples: one looking at bacteria and one at antibodies. Both came back positive for Q fever and one with a particularly high result.” Vaccination, along with good

farm hygiene and herd management practices, is key to controlling the disease. Vaccination helps decrease shedding in the environment which limits transmission, reducing the impact of the disease. “We were keen to get on top of the disease and started vaccinating for Q fever as we knew that it had many implications and it was a simple way to really help our cows,” she added. “We vaccinated all cows including heifers due to calve over three weeks and it was very easy and straightforward.” Within a few weeks of vaccinating, Ms Ankers started to see much more heat from the cows and more confidence in how they were standing, which enabled them to start serving sooner. Ms Ankers continued: “Following our first vaccination course and then our first calving season we had our best season ever with minimal abortions, hardly any early pregnancy losses and very little metritis. It was just much easier and I was really pleased.” FG

ASK YOUR VET ABOUT DIAGNOSIS AND VACCINATION

Q FEVER can infect cattle, sheep and goats as well as people. In cattle, it can be responsible for various reproductive disorders including infertility, abortion, retained placenta, metritis, stillbirths, and weak and premature calves, leading to compromised animal welfare and significant economic losses. VACCINATION is an effective and cost-efficient way to protect your herd.

Once Q fever has been diagnosed, it is important to reduce the impact on the herd and its productivity, as well as the zoonotic risk to those working with livestock. • Abortions in cows should be investigated, and Q fever should be considered during investigations. Seek veterinary advice for further information. • Good hygiene should be implemented in birthing areas. All placentas and birth materials should be disposed of hygienically. • Use protective clothing including disposable gloves and coveralls, especially when assisting at calving. • Avoid disinfecting with high-pressure aerosol sprays. • Don’t spread muck or slurry during windy conditions to avoid spreading the bacterium. • Vaccinate against the disease.

New maize varieties join refreshed Descriptive Lists for 2027 The British Society of Plant Breeders (BSPB) has redesigned its Descriptive Lists for 2027, making it simpler for growers to choose varieties that suit their farms and growing conditions. Charlie Reeve reports. Maize varieties are split into four distinctive sections to make it easier for growers to compare similar varieties, based on overall performance and maturity. The Descriptive Lists are split by first- and second-choice short-mid season varieties, and by first- and second-choice mid-long season varieties. Changes to the maize trial programme mean that varieties are assessed across all 13 BSPB trial sites, to avoid varying weather conditions influencing performance. This provides UK maize growers with a more reliable indication of how varieties are likely to perform across a broad range of growing conditions. Growers can then pick varieties from the lists to suit their target harvest date and field conditions. Ten new varieties have been added to the Forage Maize Descriptive Lists for 2027. KWS Giso (KWS), RGT Duxxford (RAGT), LG Highlight (Limagrain), Katelego (KWS) and KWS Marcopolo (KWS) have been added to the short-mid season list. DKC2644 (Bayer), Wesley (Grainseed), KWS Pluvio (KWS), Revelation (Grainseed) and KWS Norento (KWS) are new additions to the mid-long season list. The quality of maize varieties included in the lists continues to improve overtime. Forage maize dry matter yields have increased by more than 2 t/ ha in trials during the past decade. Meanwhile, starch content has increased by an average of 2.7 percentage points and ME concentration by almost 0.5 MJ/kg. Ellie Roberts, NIAB forage crop specialist and BSPB Maize DL trials programme coordinator, said: “The new Descriptive Lists are designed to make variety selection more straightforward for growers, while ensuring the data behind them reflects performance across a wide range of UK growing conditions. “Breeding continues to deliver improvements in yield, starch and energy, while the trial programme is also challenging breeders to improve performance and nutrient use efficiency under increasingly

variable growing conditions.” The new varieties with the highest dry matter yields were DKC2644 and KWS Pluvio, both achieving 19.4 t DM/ha, with dry matter contents of 34.0% and 31.3%, respectively. Katelego delivered the highest ME yield, at 222k MJ/ha, and the highest starch content, at 35.6%, with a dry matter content of 35.1%. KWS Giso recorded the highest starch content of the new shortmid season varieties, at 39.2%, followed by RGT Duxxford at 36.3%. FG

Five new KWS maize varieties focus on yield and flexibilty Plant breeder KWS has had five of its maize varieties added to the 2027 Descriptive Lists. KWS Giso, Katelego, KWS Marcopolo, KWS Pluvio and KWS Norento are all new additions to the list, strengthening the company’s offer across maturity traits and market requirements. Andrew Cook, KWS maize product manager, said: “These varieties give growers a really useful spread of maturity types, so there’s an option to suit different sites, harvest timings and end uses, whether that’s livestock forage, AD or grain.” At the earlier end of the spectrum, KWS Giso recorded the highest dry matter content of the five new additions at 41.3%, alongside 17.2t/ha dry matter yield, 39.2% starch content and an ME of 11.66MJ/ kg DM. “KWS Giso is a particularly interesting addition where early maturity and harvest security are priorities,” said Mr Cook. “It’s been developed as a multi-use shortseason hybrid with strong feeding quality and potential for early grain production, including crimping. “Katelego then takes us into the mainstream sector and combines 19.0t/ha dry matter yield, equivalent to 105% of the four- and five-year varieties, with 35.6% starch and a starch yield of 6.77t/ha. Its ME yield is 222,000MJ/ha. “This provides a fantastic combination of high quality and the ability to fill clamps.” KWS Giso and Katalego are the latest additions to the KWS EnergyBOOST varieties aimed at dairy producers who are focusing on higher yields per cow and higher milk yields per hectare. “KWS Marcopolo adds another strong option, delivering 18.4t/ha dry matter yield, 102% relative yield and 34.6% starch content on the new list,” he said. “We see KWS Marcopolo as a flexible forage variety particularly well suited to higher maize inclusion diets, while also offering potential for biogas production. That combination of output and starch makes it an attractive option where energy-dense forage is the objective.” He added that KWS Pluvio is at the later maturing end of the spectrum and was the highest dry matter yielding of the five additions at 19.4t/ha and 108% relative yield.

38-45 LiveStock.indd 43

KWS Pluvio is particularly suited to AD plants and high-maizeinclusion ruminant diets, and its wide harvest window gives growers a large amount of flexibility. KWS Norento is also suitable for high-maize-inclusion diets and use in AD plants, due to its yield, quality and harvest flexibility. “Collectively, these five additions allow growers to be much more precise in matching maize maturity, yield potential, forage, and grain characteristics to the needs of their own farm,” concluded Mr Cook.FG

Bayer expands maize offering with

NEW HIGH-YIELDING HYBRID VARIETIES Two new high-yielding hybrid maize varieties produced by Bayer Crop Science UK have been added to the British Society of Plant Breeders' (BSPB) Forage Maize Descriptive Lists for 2027. The new additions are main crop varieties offering strong yield potential and robust agronomic performance for UK growers across both forage and renewable energy markets. Richard Williams, technical specialist at Bayer, said: “We've been trialling maize here in the UK since 2021 and entered the market with three DEKALB varieties’. The first Bayer-developed variety to be added to the descriptive list was DKC2742, with an FAO 190 backed by DEKALB breeding expertise and enhanced with Bayer's Field Shield programme, combining high yield potential with improved tolerance to abiotic stress and improved resistance to key fungal diseases, including Eyespot and Fusarium.

“The addition of DKC2644 and DKC3059 to the 2027 Descriptive Lists is another important milestone as we continue to build our DEKALB maize portfolio for UK growers.” “Our varieties are Flint-Dent cross grain hybrids, bred in Germany and are part of an extensive European trialling programme that includes France, Denmark, Germany and the UK.” DKC2644 is classed as a first choice mid to long season variety with a dry matter yield of 19.4t/ha and a high ME score of 221,000MJ/ha. Mr Williams said the variety produces good quality maize and bulk with a combination of yield, consistency and agronomic performance that growers are increasingly looking for, helping support reliable production across a range of growing conditions. He added that the variety has demonstrated a strong tolerance to abiotic stress, reflecting Bayer's Field Shield selection approach. “Our varieties are holding up well. They've got very large green canopies and large flat leaves, so they

gather a lot of sunlight, and they usually chuck out one very big cob,” said Mr Williams. “Our varieties also have very good lodging resistance, with strong root and stalk strength helping them stand well in the field. They're not going to blow over in the wind,” he said.

margin to be made from maize when growers can establish a strong crop and maximise its yield potential,” he concluded. FG

Demand for AD plants Mr Williams suggested that the requirement for maize for the biogas market remained strong, with demand continuing to grow in the East of England. He suggested that growers had been seeing maize as a lower-input crop able to cope with a varying climate. “There is a good

Elsoms Seeds praises role of independent maize

Maize variety SU Addition can produce high-quality forage even in challenging conditions. In a market where seasonal conditions can vary dramatically from one year to the next, Elsoms Seeds says the value of independent, replicated trial data has never been greater. Elsoms Seeds, working in partnership with Saaten Union UK, remain committed supporters of the Maize Descriptive Lists. The Descriptive Lists provides growers with reliable information generated from multiple trial sites, across differing soil types, climatic conditions and growing seasons. This approach allows farmers to

make informed variety choices based on robust evidence rather than the results of a single season. Recent years have demonstrated exactly why this is so important. From challenging establishment conditions to periods of drought, excess rainfall and variable growing temperatures, no two seasons have been alike. In these circumstances, decisions based on one year's performance alone can be misleading. The BSPB and NIAB testing programme gives growers confidence that variety performance has been assessed consistently over

several years and locations. This enables the identification of varieties that deliver dependable performance and agronomic stability when conditions are less predictable. The success of SU Addition is a good example of the value that the Descriptive Lists deliver. Going into spring 2027, growers will continue to see its strong all-round performance, reliability and consistency. Its ability to produce high-quality forage in such challenging growing conditions has helped it gain momentum across all maize growing regions of the UK. Importantly, that confidence has been underpinned by the comprehensive data generated for the 2027 Maize Descriptive Lists. Looking ahead, Elsoms Seeds are equally excited about Fulcana, which is currently progressing through its candidate year for inclusion on the Descriptive Lists, with publication anticipated in 2028. Early results have been highly encouraging, demonstrating the characteristics that modern forage growers are increasingly seeking, including strong agronomic performance and excellent yield potential. However, as advocates of evidence-based variety selection, the company recognises

the importance of allowing the testing process to generate the breadth and depth of data needed to confirm those results across multiple environments and seasons. As weather variability continues to challenge farming businesses, independently generated, multisite and multi-year data remains the cornerstone of sound variety selection. That is why Elsoms Seeds and Saaten Union UK will continue to support the Maize Descriptive Lists and the confidence it provides to UK maize growers. FG

The Descriptive Lists allow growers to compare varieties.

POLLINATION

Pillar 1: ‘Understand’ – Start with what you have A successful pollinator strategy begins with observation, not intervention, writes Mike Petersen. Before we set about choosing a new flower mix, establishing a hedge or creating additional nesting sites, we should try to understand what our land already provides from a pollinator’s perspective, and where the gaps are Fear not, we’re not on the road to becoming entomologists or compiling an encyclopedic species inventory. We’re establishing a baseline, and that begins with four simple steps: walk, observe, record and repeat. And remember, pollinators are not just bees. Across the UK, hoverflies, other flies, butterflies, moths, beetles and wasps all contribute. The UK

Pollinator Monitoring Scheme (UKPoMS) records these broader insect groups during Flower-Insect Timed Counts (or FIT Counts), so unfamiliar visitors should not be discounted simply because they are not immediately recognisable. Start with the farm itself. What habitats already exist? Can we identify likely nesting and overwintering sites? What’s happening in hedgerows, ditches, field margins, woodland edges, rough grass, bare ground and uncultivated corners? Buglife’s farm-scale guidance stresses the importance of considering these features together, because food, shelter and nesting

habitat need to be distributed and connected across the landscape. Understanding can begin at any time of year. In late autumn and winter, when flower-visiting activity is naturally low, the focus shifts to the structure of the farm. It is also a good time to look back at the growing season. Which crops or margins flowered when? Were there periods when forage appeared limited? Where were pollinators most and least noticeable? As the new season begins, monitoring can become more structured. UKPoMS offers an accessible method through its FIT Counts. These simple 10-minute observations can be repeated throughout the flowering season, helping build a clearer picture of pollinator activity without needing species-level identification. The real value lies in recognising patterns: where activity is concentrated, when does it decline and which parts of the farm appear to offer little. A simple farm map can bring these observations together. Mark habitats, flowering areas, likely nesting sites and obvious breaks in connectivity, then add notes as the year progresses. The aim is not to know everything. It is to establish a baseline strong enough to guide future decisions. Before asking: “What should we add?”, first ask: “What do we already have, what is using it, and what is missing?” That is Understand. The next pillar, Provide, begins with the answer. FG

Tillage-Live returns after hiatus Tillage-Live provided an ideal setting for farmers considering investment in new ploughs, cultivators and drills. The event brought together the UK’s largest number of demonstrating exhibitors. Alfie White and Greg Shorter attended. Following a two-year hiatus, the 2026 event was hosted at Chrishall Grange, near Duxford in Cambridgeshire, with attendees able to observe a selection of classic aircraft taking off and landing at the nearby Duxford airfield. Andrew Gamble, managing director at Väderstad, said it was great to be back at Tillage-Live following the break last year. He said: “It’s an excellent site they’ve got here. I’ve been coming

for many years and it’s great to see people back in the field.” The event itself was relatively well attended. showgoers interacted with manufacturer and dealer representatives across the site, discussing machinery and prices. As always, the live demos were a huge feature of Tillage-Live, giving visitors the opportunity to see how any potential purchases would perform in the field. FG

Pöttinger Pöttinger had a range of cultivation and drilling equipment on show, including the Plano tine cultivator, Terradisc, and four-metre Terrasem grain and fertiliser drill. National sales development manager Shaun Kent said the 5m Terradisc remains the company’s most popular model in the range and is Pöttinger’s best-selling cultivator overall. He said: “The standout feature is the running gear, which brings the weight forward and in line with the discs, helping to get maximum penetration when the ground is hard. “The five-metre is popular because of the tractor horsepower available. You can run it quite comfortably on 180hp, and that size of tractor is far more readily available on farm.”

Wox Agri Services Geoffrey Wox (far right) was supported at Tillage Live by representatives from Oliver Agriculture (l-r) George Long, Michael Payne and Ollie Bickerdike. Wox Agri Services was demonstrating its 6m, seven-row SuperMaxx Bio, designed for shallow cultivation, stubble chitting and black-grass management, or preparing ground for potatoes when set to work deeper. Director Geoffrey Wox said: “The simplicity of the machine is a key selling point, particularly with the pressure farmers are under to reduce herbicide use. “We’re looking to do as much stubble management without having to use herbicide. We're incorporating chopped straw, chaff and residue from the combine into the soil for good composting and breakdown.”

Agrii (L-R) Rhiza representatives James Trembath, Sam Kemp, Will Lamont and Libby Richards were staffing the Agrii stand. Rhiza is Agrii’s digital partner. Libby Richards said, “We are here to talk about Rhiza as a whole – our bread and butter has been in soil health and soil mapping and we’re now moving into that digital agronomy sector. We can go out and we can map farms and fields to understand different levels of variation which we can tailor agronomic advice to. Today at Tillage Live, our electrical conductivity scanner has really captured people’s attention.”

Service engineer Lawrence Guise (l) and regional sales manager Ben Harrison (r) Horsch had a selection of machinery ready to demonstrate: a couple of drills, some shallow cultivators and a deep cultivator. Horsch’s service engineer specialising in seeeding and tillage, Lawrence Guise said: “We’ve had good interest around the Fortis 5.4LT, which is our trailing universal heavy-duty cultivator, we’ve had good interest around the Pronto drill, and the Avatar, which is a SingleDisc coulter featuring one depth control wheel per coulter for maximum precision.”

Liam Creasy, UK media manager from Lemken was sheltering from the rain in a tractor cab when Farmers Guide arrived at the company’s demo plot, but he was only too happy to brave the drizzle and talk us through Lemken’s brand new NT model no-till drill. He said, “Equalizer is now part of the Lemken group and we’ve been able to draw on a lot of their knowledge in developing our first no-till machine. We’ve had a lot of interest in the NT and a number of farmers requesting demos. Primarily we’re ploughs, we’re still a plough brand but we’re branching out and trying new things and the market is responding.”

Väderstad Väderstad brought a range of cultivation and drilling equipment to TillageLive, including its Carrier, TopDown, Seed Hawk, Rapid and Spirit machines. The TopDown was fitted with Väderstad’s E-Services system, allowing cultivation depth and intensity to be adjusted on the move or automatically when using prescription maps. Managing director Andrew Gamble said: “Operators can monitor and if required increase the depth where maybe the tramlines or headlands have had more traffic, and then in the main field they can have it shallower where deeper cultivation is not required, all from the tractor on the move.” He added that uptake of the technology since the end of last year had been “phenomenal”.

REVIEW

Amtec Amtec was showcasing machinery from across its hire fleet and secondhand stock, alongside its range of Torox heavy-duty disc harrows. With more than 300 machines in the yard, the display represented only a small section of its available machinery. Marketing manager Jason White said: “The Kivi-Pekka KP4 stone picker, with a 4m working width, has been one of the most popular machines we’ve hired out this year.” “Also, the disc harrows we launched last year but have been really popular. We’ve sold a few sets, and they’ve also been out on hire. We probably should have demonstrated the discs, but they’d have made mincemeat of this land!”

Cousins of Emneth Bruce Reeve, accounts manager at Cousins of Emneth with managing director Laura Cousins. Cousins of Emneth exhibited its 3m Less Lift low-disturbance soil loosener alongside the new 3m Switchblade cultivator. The Switchblade is based on the company’s established Patriot cultivator but offers a “…lighter touch version of that,” Laura said. “The tines run shallower and instead of a standard concave disc, we’ve got a straight-running fluted disc with a slight wave to it. Instead of inverting the soil and burying the trash, it has a chopping action and creates a little bit of tilth without inverting the soil.”

Kuhn (L-R Liam James, Sarah Govier, John Hulland, Natasha Sutton, Mark Cann and Jonathan Baxter) Kuhn displayed a range of tillage equipment, including its Vari-Master M plough, Megant and Espro seed drills, Optimer XL disc cultivator and Performer combination cultivator. UK sales manager John Hulland highlighted the Highlander tine cultivator,

which was launched at Lamma earlier this year. He said: “It’s quite a unique machine on the market. You can run it on the wheels with the packer down or out of the ground, allowing you to leave either a weathered seedbed or an open seedbed.” Kuhn was supported at the event by John Deere and dealer Ben Burgess.

THE SMART SUSPENSION FOR AGRICULTURAL VEHICLES Download the agricultural catalog

A satisfied customer since 2003 “The driving comfort I’ve noticed is unbeatable, as if the tank were floating behind the tractor. The annoying, continuous rocking of the seat back, which eventually causes back pain, has disappeared. Over time, I’ve discovered that this suspension has another great practical advantage: at the end of the tank emptying, the front tends to rise, resulting in a more complete discharge of the slurry. Conversely, when it’s filling, the position of the retracted cylinder indicates that the tank is full. The suspension cylinder thus acts as an indicator of the tank’s fill level.”

Electric loaders offer another option for farm work Brokk UK is bringing First Green Industries’ electric loaders to the agricultural market, with the machines offering a compact, zero-emission alternative for work in livestock buildings, grain stores and around the yard. Brokk is best known for its remote-controlled demolition machines used in construction, demolition and nuclear work, but the company has sold Czech-built First Green electric loaders in the UK for several years. Agriculture is a market the company is keen to explore as regional sales manager Duncan Woodward believes the machines could suit a number of farm applications. The wheeled skid steer Elise loader is a machine Duncan thinks is likely to have broad appeal. Four models are offered, with rated operating capacities from 500– 1,200kg. The Elise 1200, for example, has a 1,200kg rated capacity, 2,400kg tipping load, 3,800kg operating weight and 1.81m overall width. It uses a lithium battery and can be operated from the cab or remotely. For tighter spaces, the remotely controlled tracked MiniZ 400 is just 790mm wide, allowing it to pass through a standard 32-inch external doorway. Despite its size, it still manages a 400kg rated load capacity and 800kg tipping load, with remote operation from up to 50m away. Duncan sees particular potential in livestock and poultry buildings, where the compact dimensions work well with some of the more obvious advantages of electric power. “They’re very quiet,” he said, adding that there is also “very little vibration”. With no exhaust fumes, this could make the machines particularly useful around animals, feed and grain, while removing diesel also reduces the potential for fuel contamination. Duncan thinks that maintenance of the electric machines will prove attractive. “There’s very little to do in the way of servicing,” Duncan said. “It’s literally plug it in, charge it, and away you go the next day.” First Green also offers a wide range of attachments, including buckets, brushes, augers and log splitters, giving the machines scope to tackle quite a bit more than simple loading duties. The upfront cost remains higher than a comparable diesel loader, but lower energy and servicing costs could offset some of that difference

over its working life, particularly where farms are already generating their own electricity. Duncan sees part of the challenge as showing farmers that “there is an alternative to a diesel loader” and where electric-powered vehicles might genuinely fit into the business. Brokk operates nationally from depots in Essex and Cumbria, with demonstrations available for those wanting to try the machines for themselves. FG The Elise 1200 may be suited to environments requiring low emissions and low noise.

Chain selection matters across the farm Chain is doing more work on a modern farm than most people notice. It’s integral to balers, combine harvesters and material handling equipment. Whatever the application, the chain is only as reliable as the demands it is designed to withstand. Dust, grit, mud, moisture and constant vibration take their toll on agricultural machinery, and downtime at the wrong time of the season can cost far more than the part itself. Donghua’s Agricultural Chain is designed around superhigh breaking loads. The chain is heat treated and pre-tensioned, with chrome pins fitted with high interference fit between the pins and the plates – engineered for the toughest applications in British farming. At the heart of Donghua’s range is Heavy Super Power Chain, popular for its ultimate tensile strength – up to 50% higher than DIN standard chains – with wide waist plates for extreme fatigue strength and improved crush strength for sustained heavy loads. For added protection against the elements, the

UK-built Mark V Chain is zinc coated for corrosion resistance and waterproofing, extending service life at a competitive price. Efficient material handling sits at the heart of a thriving agricultural operation, with material handlers increasingly working alongside more traditional machinery to keep goods and produce moving. Donghua’s Pintle Chain and Attachments use an open barrel construction that minimises material build-up, cleaning the tooth root and clearing lodged material during use rather than allowing it to cause blockages, corrosion or seizure. Every Donghua product is manufactured to tolerances within

0.5DIN accuracy, backed by a UK headquarters with a 25,000 square feet (2,323 square metres) warehouse, technical chain workshop and testing laboratory, plus a network of Approved Product Partners and Stockists across the UK and Ireland. Donghua offers a complete replacement kit for every combine harvester make and model used in the UK, identifiable from the OEM part number.

FREE can of lube spray with every purchase of Combine Baler Chain in Nov & Dec 2026

Regularly monitoring chain for wear remains one of the simplest ways to protect machinery and avoid unplanned repair bills at the busiest times of the year. With a dedicated range engineered for British farming, Donghua aims to be the link that keeps every part of a farm moving. Visit donghua.co.uk for more information or to discuss chain requirements.

Staff training is top of the agenda Euro Training Services Ltd announces that it has been approved by Lantra – the awarding body that specialises in training and qualifications for agricultural industry – to deliver accrediting training courses supporting businesses in the environmental sectors: agricultural, horticultural, forestry and all land-based industries. Euro Training Services already has 28 years of experience training under the

Independent Training Standards Scheme and Register (ITSSAR), the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) and the Accrediting Bodies Association (for Workplace Transport) ABA. The company offers a complete training package for all types of mobile plant, machinery, and equipment, for all industries in the UK. The range of courses available is comprehensive and includes tractors, excavators, telehandlers, attachments, and loading/securing courses. Euro Training Services offers on-site training at cost-effective prices. In the near future, the company will be offering spraying qualifications: PA1, PA2, PA3 and PA6. Enrolling staff on courses that they go on to pass ensures that your organisation is compliant with the latest safety regulations and industry standards. For further information please visit the website www. eurotrainingservices.co.uk FG Director of Euro Training Services Ltd, Sean D’Alton.

Essentials of a PUWER inspection The national regulator for health and safety in England, Scotland and Wales – the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) – places duties on people and companies whose employees use work equipment. The rules are laid out in a long document called the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER). PUWER requires that equipment used in a workplace (e.g. a farm) must be: • Suitable for the intended use • Safe for use • Used only by people who have been adequately trained • Accompanied by suitable health and safety measures • Used in accordance with specific requirements for mobile work equipment (such as tractors, telehandlers, diggers, etc) and power presses Employers need to ensure that

these basics are met and, in the unfortunate case that there is an accident on farm, they must be able to prove that they have met the requirements of PUWER. The easiest way to demonstrate to your employees that their safety is your number one concern is to arrange an annual inspection. Inspectors from Wessex Eagle can issue a certificate confirming your compliance with PUWER. They can offer advice and ensure that your employees have the confidence and competence to carry out their duties effectively. Some work equipment (e.g. lifting equipment) is subject to other specific legislation. Our inspectors can confirm your LOLER compliance while they are on site inspecting your PUWER compliance. Visit wessexinspections.co.uk for more information. FG

Ceres recommends that, to increase overall farm safety, all farms with telehandlers should have a safe and efficient way of moving big bags and implements. The Ceres Bag Buddy is a convenient and easy way to manage fertiliser, seed and feed bags controllably. Using a dedicated tool is safer than the altogether more questionable use of pallet tines, and decreases the risk of damage to lorries, buildings and overhead cables. The Bag Buddy is designed with minimal sharp edges to prevent damage to bags and reduce risk of hazardous and costly mishaps. It comes with retaining loops at both ends of each arm, so bags can be quickly secured in adverse weather conditions.

The Ceres Linkage-Lift Implement Mover is a strong and safe way of transporting attachments. Rather than scratching and gouging, sliding on and off pallet tines, or flailing around on chains, the Linkage-Lift uses the ‘Category 3’ quick-release linkage system, for Cat 2 and 3 implements up to 4.5 tons (at pin centre). Lifting directly upwards from the lower arms, rather than the top link pin, attachments are elevated with ease and without damage. The lower lift arms, which are mounted to a floating bar within the frame, and the slotted top link bar aid smooth coupling and allow easy and safe removal, as you can be sure that there is no tension between the headstock and implement pins.

Farmers encouraged to turn diversification ideas into reality Farm Business Innovation, a UK event dedicated entirely to farm diversification, returns to Birmingham this November. Taking place on 4th and 5th November 2026 at the NEC Birmingham, the show will give farmers and landowners a chance to explore viable new income streams and learn how to build more resilient, profitable businesses. Philippa Christer, director of events, said that this year’s initiative is all about helping farmers and landowners turn ideas into viable opportunities. Visitors can expect practical advice, real-life diversification stories and the chance to connect directly with businesses and experts across a wide range of sectors. “From our new interactive features, including The Farm Shop and

Diversification Exchange, to our programme of farmer-led case studies and expert sessions, there will be plenty of opportunities to discover new ideas, ask questions and make valuable connections. Most importantly, we want visitors to leave with practical inspiration and a clearer idea of what their next step could be,” Phillippa said. The show is co-located with The Land Leisure and Tourism Show, the UK’s event for businesses creating unforgettable visitor experiences, offering a wide range of exhibitors across the UK tourism and visitor attraction sector. A range of experts will also be on hand to help Farm Business Innovation participants turn their diversification ideas from plans to reality. FG

Self-storage for farmers and landowners Container self-storage offers a practical way to diversify, turning spare yards or suitable plots into rentable space for local households and businesses. Willbox supplies shipping containers for hire and sale through 20+ depots nationwide, alongside site accommodation and specialist support for setting up self-storage businesses. The containers provide secure, accessible storage for furniture, tools, equipment, business stock and much more. With the flexibility to begin with a few containers and add more as demand develops, selfstorage can complement existing farming activities. Customers rent individual units, creating an

opportunity for recurring rental income with relatively low ongoing management. Through the Willbox360 service, owners are helped to take their ideas forward with site surveys, layout design, container selection and guidance on access, security, lighting, groundworks and planning. This practical support helps identify how the available land could work as a storage site and what is needed to get started. Join the Willbox sales team on stand FM569 at the Farm Business Innovation Show, complete a form and receive a site survey for your land, worth £295, completely free of charge, to help kick-start your self-storage project.

Greek-built sprayers make a strong impression

Agroma’s Greek-built sprayers promise careful construction at a price point that complements Knight Farm Machinery’s existing range. Machinery reporter Daniel Hodge went to Greece to find out how that promise translates on the factory floor. Machinery from northern Europe tends to come with an expectation of quality. Equipment built further south can face more scrutiny, particularly when its price is attractive. Are the savings reflected in the construction, and will it stand up to British conditions? At Agroma’s factory in northern Greece, there was plenty to challenge that perception. Upon arrival, the first impression was clear – the site was spotless, among the cleanest machinery factories we have visited. Although that may seem a trivial point, we got to see how that care and attention followed through into the design, fabrication, assembly and finish of the machines. It also helped explain why Knight Farm Machinery has chosen Agroma to fill a gap in its offering.

A natural fit Knight’s range has developed towards larger, increasingly sophisticated machines. Knight acknowledges that there is still substantial demand for smaller sprayers, but building them to Knight’s usual specification would put their prices beyond what many customers need to spend. Developing them would also tie up engineering time needed elsewhere. Agroma already serves that market. Founded in 1977, it builds sprayers and specialist equipment at its 7,000m² facility in Veria, west of Thessaloniki. Agroma UK brings together Knight managing director Brian Knight and Agroma directors Nikos Petkos and Konstantin Mavrov, with machines distributed through Knight’s sales operation and dealers. The two ranges meet with little overlap. Agroma adds orchard and vineyard sprayers and mistblowers, extending the partnership into markets Knight does not currently

manufacture for. “A combined offering of Knight and Agroma products gives customers options from the simplest sprayer to the largest and most technically advanced machines across all formats,” explains Paul Harrison of Knight Farm Machinery.

The Agroma facory in Northern Greece was one of the cleanest workspaces that we have ever visited.

Built with care Knight knows Agroma’s manufacturing practices, and the factory visit helped to show why it is comfortable putting its support behind the machines. Cutting and fabrication lead into separate boom and chassis assembly areas before the two come together. Hydraulic testing follows, with Agroma reporting annual production of around 120 crop sprayers. Importantly, there is engineering input throughout the entire process. Dedicated staff cover development, fabrication documentation and assembly improvements, while production jigs help maintain consistency. Robotic welding is also being introduced, aiming to improve both throughput and consistency. There were also many details noticed that don’t necessarily come across on a specification sheet. A nice example of this is how the brackets retaining folded booms are carefully positioned and spaced to hold the sections securely during transport. It’s a simple arrangement that’s not revolutionary, but it shows attention to how the machine will be used – and should extend the life of the machines.

Protection beneath the paint Steel components are shot-blasted before receiving a zinc-rich epoxy powder primer and colour topcoat. Agroma has worked with its coating contractor for more than 26 years, developing the preparation and

Knight Farm Machinery’s Pete Wiles, territory sales manager, and Paul Harrison, distribution, sales, and marketing, with Agroma’s CEO, Nikos Petkos. coating process together. The primer is designed to help protect the steel and limit corrosion spreading beneath the coating if the surface is damaged. Paint quality isn’t exactly the most exciting of topics, but its importance becomes clear after several seasons of moisture, washing and everyday knocks. The care taken beneath the final colour again gives an indication of the overall approach to manufacture.

A broader choice The machinery itself combines familiar technology with a useful spread of capacities and specifications. Mounted Millenium SM and M sprayers span 800–1,500 litres and 12–18m booms across the two ranges. Trailed models progress through ST, ET and T specifications. The 3,000-litre ST provides a straightforward starting point, with 15–18m booms and a 210-litre/ min diaphragm pump. The ET brings wider boom options and a 260-litre/min pump, while the

T offers 3,000- or 4,000-litre tanks and a 300-litre/min pump. Higher specifications include Isobus control, automatic section control and recirculation, priming and purge functions. Adjustable anti-yaw systems, self-levelling boom suspension and stainless-steel spray lines add practical substance to the range. The factory also retains tooling for discontinued products, and the team described continuing to manufacture replacement blades for older fan units. That willingness to support equipment after production ends is another useful point to consider for customers planning to keep their machines for years. Agroma has a name to establish in Britain, but the factory and finished machines provided a convincing introduction. The appeal is easy to understand: well-finished, thoughtfully assembled sprayers that broaden the choice available through Knight. For farmers weighing up an unfamiliar Greek badge, there is plenty here to justify a closer look. FG

OLD-SCHOOL THINKING, MODERN EXECUTION The Ineos Grenadier was conceived as a modern interpretation of the traditional working 4x4, but with serious off-road hardware come some noticeable compromises on the road. Machinery reporter Daniel Hodge finds a vehicle that makes more sense with time.

By the end of our time with the Grenadier Commercial, it had become considerably more likeable than it seemed at first, not because any of its compromises had disappeared, but because after a few days on everything from motorways and B-roads to farm tracks and a particularly sandy byway, the reasons behind them became much clearer. The steering is probably the best example. Its unusual character is immediately obvious, with considerably more effort required to bring the wheel back towards centre after a turn than most modern road cars demand. It is heavier, does not fully self-centre and, particularly at lower speeds, takes a little recalibration. Within a day, though, it largely felt normal. That perhaps sums up the Grenadier better than anything else. Judge it purely as a road-going SUV and there are certainly easier vehicles to live with, but virtually everything about it points towards something designed with much more serious offroad use in mind. Our test vehicle was supplied by Crawfords Group. The dealership has recently taken on the INEOS Grenadier franchise across their depots.

Purposeful rather than pretty The Grenadier is not what most would call pretty, but, it is incredibly purposeful, with real presence and a sense that the form matches the function, or perhaps vice versa. There is obviously plenty of old Defender influence, but it never feels like a pastiche. Round headlights set into a square front end, external hinges, steel wheels, a full-size rear-mounted spare, ladder and accessory rails reinforce the utility theme,

while the BFGoodrich KO3 tyres fitted to our test vehicle and substantial ground clearance make its intentions fairly obvious. It is also a big vehicle, much larger than an old Defender and closer in overall size to the current Defender, although the Grenadier still looks considerably more prepared to leave the road. Despite the similarities, living with it is very different from living with an old Defender. There is much more room, it is quieter – although definitely not quiet – and while the steering is not as precise as most modern road cars, the Grenadier feels far more secure and planted. Getting up to 70mph and happily cruising is completely uneventful, which marks a substantial departure from the experience offered by many older working 4x4s.

Commanding cabin

The interior is one of the most striking parts of the car, particularly with the overhead switchboard.

The driving position is extremely upright and commanding. The Grenadier places its driver noticeably high, and the combination of that seating position with the squared-off front end makes what is a large vehicle surprisingly easy to place. Positioned correctly, there is an excellent view of each front wing corner and, because the bodywork drops almost vertically from there, it is easy to judge exactly where the vehicle ends. The seats themselves proved perfectly comfortable, with no noticeable fatigue following our longest continuous journey of around two hours. The dashboard took rather more getting used to. Almost all of the main driving information is located on the central display rather than directly in front of the driver, while the small panel

The car’s commercial nature is more obvious from the side, note the blanked out rear windows. behind the steering wheel is reserved for warning lights. Where the interior really works is the physical switchgear. The buttons are large, clearly separated and easy to operate on the move, and most could comfortably be used while wearing thick gloves. The overhead control panel could easily have tipped into gimmick territory, but somehow avoids doing so. It looks cool and gives the cabin a slightly aircraft-like feel, while still being genuinely functional. The infotainment system itself is perfectly serviceable, although sharing screen space with the instrumentation makes it feel smaller than many modern systems and pushes it further from the driver’s natural eyeline. Storage is adequate rather than generous, with two cupholders, relatively small door bins and a glovebox not much larger than the vehicle handbook. Our test vehicle also had a locking

central storage box, although locating the charging points inside means phones and cables quickly begin competing with whatever else is stored there. Materials and general build quality impressed, with everything feeling hard-wearing, robust and relatively easy to clean.

Commercial by name and nature The Commercial conversion suits the character of the Grenadier particularly well. Behind the front seats, the load area is effectively one enormous box with a completely flat floor and, although no formal payload test or towing was carried out during our time with the vehicle, the space immediately feels genuinely useful. Access is excellent through the retained side doors and split rear barn doors. The first rear door is unusually narrow, useful if something simply needs to be reached or retrieved, but not really

wide enough to comfortably climb through. Open both doors, however, and access is very good. The capacity gives it the feeling of a van, while from behind the wheel it remains unmistakably a serious 4x4, which is probably the easiest way of explaining the appeal of the Commercial. However, the split rear doors and full-size spare result in a restricted rear view, and adding the Commercial load guard, solid rear-quarter panels and heavily tinted rear door glass leaves very little rearward visibility. Checking over the shoulder when changing lanes becomes more difficult, while the interior rear-view mirror has limited usefulness. Thankfully, the reversing camera helps considerably. Image quality is nothing remarkable, but its wide field of view provides enough information to make manoeuvring considerably easier.

Excellent drivetrain The BMW-sourced B57 straight-six turbocharched diesel delivers 245 bhp and 550 Nm (406 lb-ft) smoothly and consistently, with no situation during our test where the vehicle ever felt short of performance. It also sounds surprisingly good for a diesel. It is not massively responsive in the way a performance SUV might be, but that suits the character of the vehicle. Ask for more acceleration and there is enough power to get a large, heavy 4x4 moving convincingly, without any sense that Ineos has tried to make it artificially sporty. The ZF automatic gearbox is equally well suited. Changes

MACHINERY are smooth and, after very little time behind the wheel, it essentially disappears into the background. Pairing a well-proven BMW engine with an equally well-established ZF transmission feels like a sensible decision in a vehicle where durability and capability have clearly been given priority. Motorway driving presented no issues at all. The BFGoodrich tyres generated a fair amount of road noise and the upright body inevitably created some wind noise, but neither became particularly uncomfortable. Fuel economy was less impressive, with around 22mpg recorded during our time with the vehicle, although most of the driving consisted of relatively short B-road journeys rather than sustained motorway running.

Road compromises At lower speeds steering is fairly heavy and, after turning, the wheel returns part of the way towards centre but needs active winding back to dead centre. On the motorway the weight itself becomes much less noticeable. It never felt unsafe or unpredictable, just unfamiliar, and once some time had been spent with the vehicle it stopped drawing much attention. The ride follows a similar pattern. It would be difficult to describe the Grenadier as particularly smooth, because broken surfaces can certainly be felt through the vehicle, but it feels incredibly planted at the same time. There is body roll, as expected from something this tall, heavy and generously sprung, but nowhere near as much as might be anticipated.

However, the moment the Grenadier is taken properly off road, all of those decisions begin to make sense. On difficult ground, it was the most sure-footed and competent off-roader I’ve driven. The suspension travel, steering, visibility over the front corners, tyres and sheer feeling of mechanical substance all come together.

Who is it for? Whether the Grenadier Commercial is a good vehicle depends heavily on what is asked of it. If almost all of its mileage will be spent on tarmac, there are quieter, smoother, more economical and easier vehicles to live with. But if work regularly takes it away from main roads, into difficult terrain or towards places where simply getting there matters more than having the softest possible ride, the calculation changes considerably. With the Commercial conversion, it feels like a serious work vehicle, combining the capacity of a van with the ability to reach places a van just couldn’t. Driving it alongside both an old Defender and the current Defender also made its place in the market much clearer. It is certainly not an old Defender recreated, because it is larger, much more powerful, considerably more comfortable and equipped with enough modern conveniences to make everyday use perfectly realistic. In terms of philosophy, however, it comes much closer to the old Defender than the modern Defender does. That does not automatically make it the better vehicle, but for buyers who valued the sense that the old Defender had been designed

Smarter shifts and smoother rides:

JOHN DEERE 6M AND 6R John Deere has given its 6M and 6R tractors a substantial update for model year 2027. Machinery reporter Daniel Hodge travelled to Germany for a first drive of the new models. For the 6M, the biggest and most obvious changes are the new e19 full powershift transmission and a revised control scheme that leads to greater commonality with John Deere’s larger tractor ranges. The 6R update, meanwhile, places far greater emphasis on ride quality, road behaviour and operator comfort. John Deere says customers who spend longer on the road – and travel greater distances between fields – demand stability, steering precision and ride quality. Many of the changes therefore sit under what it calls the ‘Sport Package Pro’.

e19 headlines 6M changes The biggest mechanical change to the 6M is the new e19 transmission, a 19-speed full powershift, with considerable effort having been put into more automated and intuitive behaviour. The transmission builds on John Deere’s established PowrQuad transmission architechture, but adds a dual clutch set up and proportional control valves. This allows smoother shifts and reduces the torque interruptions traditionally associated with changing ratios in a powershift transmission. A key part of the update though, is in how the transmission is managed. Whereas older automated powershifts primarily respond to engine speed and load, the e19 also uses an inclination sensor. This allows the tractor to recognise that it is approaching or descending a gradient and begin preparing the transmission response before engine revs have fallen significantly. Two new transmission functions include

Scroll Shift and Skip Shift. Scroll Shift is designed to speed up sequential changes, with the transmission preparing the next clutch engagement rather than waiting for one shift to finish before beginning the next. Skip Shift, meanwhile, allows the tractor to jump several gears where appropriate instead of moving through each ratio individually. In practice, the e19 performed extremely well. On road and gravel, upshifts were particularly smooth and blended into the background. In field conditions, despite multiple journalists trying their best to ‘trick’ the system and achieve a stall by dropping in implements at low engine speeds, none succeeded and were thwarted by the automatic management of the e19.

Controlling engine speed with either the CommandX Plus joystick or foot pedal made for a very easy and seamless start. On the road, the upshifts were almost imperceptible, with virtually no noticeable interruption in power delivery. It was under more severe slowdowns that the transmission’s mechanical roots became more apparent, with downshifts noticeable in a way that they would not be with a CVT. It is not a truly seamless CVT-like transmission experience but, for a stepped mechanical transmission, it is extremely impressive. Additionally, the e19 transmission’s direct mechanical drive and reduced complexity compared with a CVT give it obvious arguments of its own.

A more familiar operating environment John Deere has worked to bring the tractor’s

MACHINERY operating environment closer to the 6R, 7R and 8R ranges. Depending on specification, the 6M can now be equipped with the Compact CommandARM, CommandX Plus joystick and 10.1inch G5 CommandCenter. CommandX Plus also allows several operating strategies to be mixed. An operator can, for example, use the left-hand reverser, the main joystick or an electric loader joystick without being locked into one particular control method. Switching between control methods was as simple as using the one that you wanted, with the tractor managing the rest. In use, CommandX Plus was extremely intuitive. Anyone familiar with John Deere controls would require virtually no adjustment, while a newcomer should not take long to get comfortable. The joystick can be more comfortable over bouncy terrain, while the foot pedal feels natural on a flat road. The 6M does feel closer to a 6R from the controls, but it never fools you into thinking you are sitting in one. The smaller cab, interior finish and seat are noticeably less premium than in the 6R, even if nothing feels ‘value-spec’.

6R targets the road If the 6M update is largely about how the tractor responds to the operator, the 6R update is more concerned with what the operator feels in return. John Deere has placed considerable emphasis on transport comfort and road behaviour, starting with the updated TLS Pro front axle suspension. The new system uses adaptive damping to alter oil flow according to load and operating conditions, helping maintain useful suspension travel across a wider range of setups. The cab suspension has been revised, with new cylinders, updated valving and changes to the cab mounting system intended to reduce pitch, roll and harshness. Steering and braking have received attention too. Deere has introduced what it calls Reactive Steering, combining changes to front axle geometry with revised steering valving to increase selfcentring and reduce the small amount of free movement that can otherwise require constant correction at higher road speeds. During our driving sessions, it was apparent that any ‘deadzone’ in the centre of the steering has effectively been eliminated. Additionally, the brake pedal has been given longer travel and a more progressive feel, which leads to a much more automotive feel when driving. This effect is compounded by the pedal layout which has been adjusted so the driver can move between accelerator and brake in a more car-like manner without constantly lifting the heel from the cab floor. Of all the changes on the 6R, the revised suspension was the most immediately obvious. On the same bumpy gravel track that had us bouncing around noticeably in the 6M, the 6R glided over the surface much more comfortably. Over the ramps, the calmer cab movement left you feeling in control of the tractor rather than simply being carried along by it. The steering precision was equally noticeable on the road, particularly around the centre where small corrections felt far more precise. The brakes do not quite feel car-like, but the much greater pedal travel makes them substantially more progressive and controllable than before.

New CommandView 4 cab The new 6R uses a completely new cab frame, cab bridge, floor, rear insulation and revised windscreen design. The new CommandView 4 cab is slightly wider, and this was most noticeable with the greater space offered between driver and passenger. The seat position has been moved slightly forward and a large curved rear window with forward-sloping C-pillars has been introduced. The claimed improvement of rearward visibility by around 20% seemed to hold true, with excellent visibility over the shoulder. At the top of the seat range sits the new Vision Seat, which brings electric adjustment, multiple presets, additional cushion support and ventilation features carried over from larger machines. The neck ventilation feature was surprisingly comfortable and felt like more than a gimmick. Noise reduction is a major focus. Cab noise is quoted at 66dB(A), achieved through changes including improved mounting and insulation, laminated glass and the relocation of steering and braking valves outside the cab structure. That 66dB(A) figure certainly felt believable. Even with the tractor under load or implements running, it was easy to hold a conversation at normal speaking volume. Together with the genuinely comfortable and well-finished seat, plenty of adjustment and the much calmer ride, it made for a very nice cab environment. At the same time, a new 6R 240 joins the range. Rated at 240hp and producing up to 291hp with Intelligent Power Management, it combines a relatively compact large-frame chassis with an average weight of 8,900kg, leading to a seriously impressive power-to-weight ratio of 30.5kg/hp.

An updated control scheme brings the 6M much more in line with larger John Deere machines.

The updated TLS suspension, with actively adjustable damping.

Two different routes forward Taken together, the 2027 updates show different approaches to improving tractors that already occupy well-established positions in Deere’s range. For the 6M, the biggest step forward arguably felt like sophistication. The arrival of the e19 transmission, greater automation and more familiar controls bring the tractor closer to John Deere’s larger machines without fundamentally changing the role of the 6M. The 6R update is more evolutionary, but also more wide-ranging. Suspension, steering, braking, cab design, visibility and noise reduction have all been addressed with the aim of making a high-horsepower tractor more comfortable and predictable over long working days. A short launch drive is not enough to make meaningful conclusions about fuel economy, long-term comfort or productivity, but it is enough to reveal whether changes can be felt immediately from the seat. For me, the 6R felt like the more obvious step forward because its improvements were so easy to notice: the smoother ride, more precise steering and more refined cab were apparent almost immediately. The 6M’s changes may be just as significant, but almost for the opposite reason. Its controls felt more like the larger John Deere tractors we are used to, while the e19 transmission was at its best when it simply blended into the background. In many ways, not noticing what the transmission was doing was the point. FG

The CommandView 4 Cab on the 6R was an extremely comfortable and enjoyable environment to operate from.

Controls are very well placed across the CommandARM armrest, with everything falling under a natural arc from your elbow. www.farmersguide.co.uk | November 2026 71

NEW HOLLAND’S ROUTE TO HIGHER OUTPUT New Holland hosted a gathering at its Zedelgem plant to celebrate 120 years of harvesting machinery, but the event spent little time looking backwards. Machinery reporter Daniel Hodge was there. The Zedelgem site has been producing agricultural machinery since 1906, and parts of the sprawling factory still have the feel of a long-established industrial plant. Today that sits alongside automated pressing equipment, modern production lines, virtual-reality development and increasingly sophisticated precision technology. One of the clearest signs of how much harvesting has changed was the factory itself. The amount of remodelling taking place simply to accommodate the increasing size and complexity of modern machines was staggering. CNH has announced a €150m investment in Zedelgem, including changes to the assembly line and an expanded logistics area. The CR11 alone brought around 7,000 new parts into the plant’s manufacturing logistics, while CX, CR and CR11 production is being brought together on a more flexible line. The fixed-chain arrangement has been replaced by tractor-and-trailer-style carriers which move combine chassis between assembly stations. It was a good reflection of the theme we saw in the machines the following day: greater output does not always have to mean simply adding more horsepower.

A more elegant approach The machinery industry can sometimes seem obsessed with cramming ever more power into engines and frames to force more work through a machine. Improving crop flow, reducing unnecessary losses and making better use of the horsepower already available feels like a more elegant approach. Taking the FR Forage Cruiser range as an example, New Holland’s argument is that increasing capacity means looking at the machine as a complete system – from feeding the crop in, through the cutterhead and processor, to moving material out again – rather than automatically reaching for a larger engine. That does not mean the machines are short of power – the five-model FR range runs from the 476hp FR480 to the 911hp FR920, with the FR780 demonstrated to us producing 775hp. Four hydraulically driven feed rolls provide stepless control of crop intake and chop length, while the header can also be driven independently. Behind them, the high-inertia cutterhead uses V-shaped knife positioning to produce more of a pulling, scissor-like cut through the crop. Variflow is a great example of the do more with less philosophy. In grass configuration, the blower can be moved 20cm closer to the cutterhead, which New Holland says can save up to 40hp. It can also be changed from maize to grass configuration in 90 seconds without tools – if you’re feeling strong. There was evidence of similar thinking on the combine line. The flagship CR11 is hardly modest at 775hp, with a 20,000-litre grain tank and twin 600mm-diameter rotors, but its driveline has been

simplified, with the engine aligned more closely with the rotor system to remove components and weight. Of course, any claim of doing more with less could easily become marketing language. Ultimately, supporting data and, more importantly, customers’ experiences in the field will determine whether the philosophy holds up.

ForageCam After watching the forage harvester working in maize, we grabbed a handful of chopped material for a closer look. The chop lengths were undeniably consistent and, among the material inspected, every kernel had been cracked open. ForageCam was on display. This is a camera mounted in the spout that takes images of the crop stream at 10Hz and uses an algorithm to identify processed kernels. The operator sets a target kernel-processing score and the system can alter the crop-processor gap automatically, with New Holland saying an adjustment command can be sent roughly every three seconds. Rather than choosing a single processor gap and leaving it there, the system can respond continually as kernel condition changes across a field. In an industry where fractions of a percentage point can matter, that is a logical step towards more consistent silage, and something even a very skilled operator would struggle to reproduce manually throughout a long day. Equally, if the target processing score can be maintained with a wider roller gap, there is no reason to keep the processor working harder than necessary. New Holland argues that opening the gap can reduce wear and fuel use while still achieving the required result.

Making expertise easier to access Increasing automation is partly reflective of a problem across agriculture that feels inevitable and inescapable: the declining availability of experienced machinery operators. On that, it should be clear that the systems we saw aren’t designed

Chop length appeared consistent, as well as kernel cracking. to remove the operator from the equation. Instead, they tended to help a less experienced driver operate closer to the machine’s potential while making life easier for somebody who already knows what they are doing. Turning to model year 2027 updates for the BigBaler line, the new 57-knife UltraCutter reduces minimum theoretical chop length from around 40mm with the 29-knife CropCutter to 19.5mm, but, arguably, the more interesting development was in relation to the driveline. Traditionally, an experienced baler operator develops a feel for how hard a machine can be pushed. Approach the limit too aggressively and a sudden lump in the swath can overload the rotor and trip the cut-out clutch; back away too far and potential capacity is left unused.

MACHINERY The CR11 shows that New Holland isn’t ignoring highhorsepower, high throughput.

New Holland’s BigBaler 1270 Plus Density contains lots of useful features. hydraulically operated clutch with a contactless torque sensor, standard with the 57-knife system and available with the 29-knife configuration. The sensor reads load through changes in the magnetic field as the shaft twists, with a live cab display showing how close the rotor is to its limit. Rather than immediately disengaging when a temporary peak arrives, the clutch can permit a brief, controlled amount of slip to help force the material through. If a genuine blockage occurs, the driveline can re-engage with up to 20% additional torque. That could be particularly useful in the UK and Ireland, where wet grass and clumping can make inconsistent swaths a regular feature of baling. The restart sequence has also been reconsidered. Instead of asking the tractor to drive the plunger and feeding system simultaneously, the plunger is brought up to speed before the rotor is engaged, reducing

shock through both tractor and baler driveline. It’s clever because it makes better use of available engine power, keeps the baler moving through short peak loads and reduces driveline strain. New Holland continues operator assists with IntelliSense Bale Automation. A roof-mounted lidar scans the swath ahead and can influence tractor steering and forward speed before the crop reaches the pick-up, while the baler’s existing sensors provide a further layer of correction. Extra information that lets an operator make a better judgement is difficult to argue against; automation that takes care of repetitive adjustments without removing overall control is arguably even more useful.

automation reassesses conditions every 20 seconds, using cleaning-shoe load and Grain Cam data to make pre-emptive adjustments to rotor vanes, fan speed and sieve openings. FieldOps connectivity allows machine location and operational data to be viewed remotely, with remote display access, geofencing and agronomic mapping feeding into wider fleet and farm management. Much of that will already be familiar to many of our readers, but it supports the broader theme. Efficiency is not simply litres of diesel per hectare or tonnes harvested per hour; downtime, logistics, operator workload and crop quality all form part of the same calculation – as they should.

horsepower’s sake before climbing into a tractor producing more than 400hp. The new T7 XD consists of the 360hp T7.360 XD, 390hp T7.390 XD and 435hp T7.440 XD. All use an 8.7-litre, six-cylinder FPT Cursor 9 engine with a revised Auto Command CVT capable of 60kph, while a 3.19m wheelbase and new Terraglide independent front suspension are intended to combine high power with the manoeuvrability and ride expected of the T7 family. Time behind the wheel was limited to a single run up and down a headland, so it would be stretching things to call it a proper driving impression. What that short stint did establish was how remarkably smooth and easy the tractor was to drive. Despite the output available,

nothing about operating it felt intimidating. If anything, the cab felt slightly compact relative to the sheer scale of the tractor surrounding it. The apparent contradiction reinforces New Holland’s wider message. The company is clearly not suggesting horsepower no longer matters; the CR11, FR920 and T7.440 XD make that plain. Perhaps then, the proposition is that additional power should not automatically be the first answer to demands for greater productivity. After 120 years of developing harvesting machinery at Zedelgem, New Holland is looking for capacity in crop flow, smarter drivelines, sensors, automation and better use of the power already available. If the figures in the field support the engineering, it is a considerably more elegant solution than simply fitting a bigger engine. FG

Dorset dispersal sale due to machinery fleet restructuring

FARM SALE A change of venture by a large Dorset estate meant a fleet of excellent modern machinery became surplus to requirements. The machinery dispersal sale was arranged by Herefordshirebased HJ Pugh & Co. David Williams reports. The sale, at Sutton Farm near Verwood, included a combine, 30 modern and classic tractors, 10 handlers, as well as a selection of equestrian, grounds maintenance and horticultural equipment, most in extremely tidy condition. HJ Pugh & Co partner and auctioneer, Henry Biss, told Farmers Guide that he was delighted by the sale’s success. “The auction day weather couldn’t have been better. There was a strong crowd of bidders on-site, but there is no doubt that our online bidding system generated extra interest from buyers from further afield as well as those more local who couldn’t attend in person.” Henry said that, as usual, John Deere tractors sold particularly well. “There was strong demand for tractors generally, but tidy John Deere models always attract competitive bidding. Balers sold well too, even though most UK farmers had already completed

their grass and straw baling for this year. A steam roller was one of the more unusual lots. It hadn’t been steamed for many years and needed attention, so we weren’t sure how that would get on, but it actually achieved a good result too,” he added. Asked why the estate owners instructed the auctioneers to organise and conduct the sale, Henry explained that there was a previous business relationship as several machines on offer had been bought by the estate through auctions arranged by the HJ Pugh team. “Verwood is slightly out of our traditional trading area, but they could see that availability of our online bidding system would expose the lots to more potential buyers. This proved a good decision, as half were bought online by trade and end users throughout the UK, and further afield. It increased competition and pushed up the prices.” FG

One of two John Deere 6215R tractors on offer, this 2020 model had a front linkage and PTO, four rear spools, and had worked 6,398 hours. The tyres were in as-new condition, the tractor was tidy inside and out, and the winning bidder paid £56,500. www.farmersguide.co.uk | November 2026 79

The attractive line-up of John Deere tractors included a 6250R, two 6215Rs, two 6175Rs and a 6120.  Sold at the end of harvest, this John Deere 9780i CTS combine was a 2006 model. It had a 30kph transmission, was on 800/65R32 drive and 480/80R26 steering tyres and had worked 3,981 engine and 3,005 drum hours. It had a dual range rotor, auto reel speed control, and remote control of the threshing and cleaning systems. It was sold with its 625R header and a header trailer and achieved £19,000.

Nearest the camera, this McCormick XTX200 carried an 06-reg and had recorded 2,600 hours. It came with 15 front wafer weights and was on Michelin front and rear tyres – all with plenty of tread. The winning bidder paid £18,500. Beside the McCormick, this John Deere 6175R came with front linkage and PTO, front axle suspension, and was on almost new tyres. It carried a 16-plate and had recorded 8,634 hours. It sold for £35,000.

One of 10 telehandlers available for bids, this JCB Loadall 527-67 Farm Special Plus came with a pick-up hitch and tines. Carrying an N-reg plate, it had recorded 8,318 hours and sold for £9,500.

A £16,000 bid secured this New Holland TS115 which had worked 9,010 hours and carried a Y-prefix registration. It was on Goodyear Optitrac 420/70R28 front tyres with approximately 15% remaining tread and Trelleborg 520/70R38 rears, with 70%.

This JCB 407 BST AG T4 compact articulated handler was a 2015 model, sold with a muck grab, bucket and tines. It carried a 15-plate and appeared tidy, making £16,200.

One of the smaller tractors in the sale, this Kubota L2501 DT 4wd with an LA525 front loader was a 2016 model but had worked just 83 hours. In excellent condition, it achieved £13,200.

This vintage Aveling & Porter 10t steam roller was sold new to Devon County Council in 1914. Although the roller was rebuilt in 1974, the boiler and firebox were believed to be original. The test certificate expired more than 20 years ago, and it was noted that buyers should assume a new boiler and firebox would be needed before steaming. The tender appeared sound, the gears were described as in good condition, the motion was free and from the outside it looked tidy and quite complete, although it was missing its pressure gauge. This very attractive lot achieved a well-deserved £24,000.

The Potato Partnership and the challenges of potato production

Don Pendergrast, Agrii's technical manager for non-combinable crops.

April 2027 marks five years since the end of the statutory levy funding AHDB Potatoes. Two thirds of potato levy payers voted for its removal, but a significant minority remained concerned about access to independent trials. Organisations like The Potato Partnership (TPP) arose soon afterwards. Indeed, it celebrates its fifth anniversary next year. TPP is a collaboration between Agrii, James Foskett Farms, East Suffolk Produce and VCS Potatoes, while other companies, such as potato breeders and crop protection manufacturers, support its trials and events. “It’s an applied partnership bigger than any one organisation,” says Don Pendergrast, technical manager for non-combinable crops at Agrii. “TPP is really focused on the immediate challenges out there for growers, things like PCN control and wireworm control. “We are also looking at things down the line that we anticipate will be a problem, for example, the loss of plant protection products.”

Demo examines integrated PCN control options The TPP team hosted growers and agronomists at a PCN demo in Suffolk in the summer. The work was looking at the resistance and tolerance of new varieties to PCN, alongside combinations of nematicides and newer biological products which indicate some levels of activity against PCN. The site had moderate to high levels of G. pallida, the dominant species in the field according to testing, ranging from 0.5–25 eggs/g of soil. The host farm has a six year rotation for potatoes with sugar beet and cereals cropped in between. “The commercial crop in the field this season

was Buster,” explains Graham Tomlin of VCS Potatoes. “Interestingly, the variety the last time the field was potatoes was Lanorma, which has partial G. pallida and full G. rostochiensis, which is likely to have driven the species in the field.” They compared the tolerance and resistance (see panel) to PCN of known standard varieties with some of the latest varieties entered into the trial by participating breeders. Examining new lines from breeders as they submit them to the trial is essential for growers and agronomists to understand their performance under PCN pressure before they are grown in a commercial crop, says Graham. “From what I have seen in trials, Buster is as close as we get to complete PCN resistance in a variety. However, you have to remember that the roots aren’t going to get everywhere within the soil profile to stimulate a complete egg hatch,” he adds. Graham therefore believes that growers can’t assume that growing a variety like Buster will mean PCN isn’t an issue for subsequent crops. This is especially the case in dry years like 2026, where water limited crops may not have an extensive root system. Additionally, growers need to be aware of partial resistance mechanisms, resistance breakdown and species selectivity when choosing resistant varieties, says Graham. To do this, knowing the field’s history is vital, as is accurate record keeping and an understanding of the mechanics of a variety’s resistance.

PCN tolerance vs resistance Varietal mechanism

How does it work?

How does it influence field populations of PCN?

PCN tolerance

A variety’s ability to maintain yields despite PCN attack

It may not stop nematodes from reproducing, so field levels may increase

PCN resistance

The ability of a variety to prevent or significantly restrict PCN reproduction.

By stimulating eggs to hatch but stopping them from reproducing, resistant varieties usually reduce PCN populations.

Examining chemical control options, Don Pendergrast says the programme combining half rate Nemathorin 10G with Velum Prime (fluopyram) and SP058, a silicone wetter, remains the pick of the programmes. However, he notes that Syngenta does not support Nemathorin at half rate. “Across all the years we have been running these TPP trials, we have seen this programme give us the most consistent control. Full rate Nemathorin also gives very good control,” says Don. The TPP trials have a range of biological products claiming activity against PCN, some of which are in the very early stages of development, notes Don. The trials showed some indication that they may offer useful control, but he says more work is needed to confirm this.

Winter trials results meetings It is not just PCN that TPP trials investigate. They have a range of trials investigating late blight control, Alternaria, Rhizoctonia, wireworm, and aphid control. They also run trials on new fertilisers and upcoming herbicides for potatoes. “We have got to go out there and get this information because it isn’t just out there to access like it was with AHDB Potatoes. We are targeting trials on areas which are close to the market, which means growers can consider changes following observations from some of the trials,” says Graham. FG

Join the winter TPP results meeting The Potato Partnership events are open to anyone in the industry to learn about the trial results, and to feed into the group with feedback, says Don. The winter results meetings showcase all results from the 2026 trials, and they are free to attend. To register, visit The Potato Partnership website.

Smaller crop does not make storage easier In the spring of 2025, Nick Tapp, director of Juno (Plant Protection) Ltd observed in these pages: “The 2025 crop in store seems to have bumped into almost every factor designed to create a difficult storage season.” The 2026 harvest seems to be going a few steps further. Another early planting and emergence in 2026 was followed by a summer which was, for many, even hotter and drier than 2025. Records were being broken all over Europe. This crop may be even older than its immediate predecessor, with eyes open, in-field sprouting, widespread secondary growth and even skins failing to set in good order. The lessons from 2025 are clear. Crops, which went into store well, with skins set and swiftly cured, could be brought back under control with a Biox-M treatment, no matter how early in the calendar. The sprout suppression season had effectively been extended, and there were many growers, usually moving crops early, who had been obliged to use a treatment for the first time – ever. The relatively flexible timing of application for Biox-M places the product in a strong position to deal with most situations. Early sprouting can be addressed, with some requiring a full 90ml/t first application to do so. For more fortunate growers, with crops which break dormancy slightly later, Biox-M has worked effectively to maintain control. Growers, who hold crops for early movement in stores destined to receive seed for 2027, have the reassurance that treatment of the preceding

ware crop with Biox-M in the store will not cause a problem. Crops held in well-managed stores can expect to hold well in what is expected to be a more exciting marketing season. The 2025 crop broke records across the continent. The French grew their first 10m tonne crop, only a year after growing their first 9m tonne crop. The Germans grew their largest crop for more than 25 years and some growers were giving away potatoes in nearby towns and cities. The free-buy price collapsed entirely – €15/tonne is not much incentive to harvest a crop. In response, Polish growers were busy with the chisel plough. Of

A family run business established in East Anglia for over 40 years

course, there were growers who had grown good quality crops, fulfilled contracts and were not unhappy with the situation. However, the response for the new season was inevitable. The planted area across the continent was well down. Sadly, for the UK, the absence of AHDB Potatoes saw a lack of high-quality data, but it was clear to many that fewer acres had been planted. With a smaller area and an even hotter summer, the excess of 2025 (55m tonne crop in Europe) is being followed by a year of shortfall. In late summer, a crop of 40m tonnes was forecast. Many doubt that it will do that well. Prices can be expected to respond! FG

Standen Engineering celebrates 180 years in business Standen Engineering exhibited at Haddenham Steam Rally as part of its 180-year anniversary.

Cambridgeshire-based agricultural machinery manufacturer Standen Engineering is celebrating 180 years of British manufacturing this year. In the 1950s and 60s, Standen became a renowned brand for British-built potato and sugar beet machinery under the leadership of Peter Standen. However, the business’s roots go back much further, to 1846, when Samuel Frank Standen worked as

a blacksmith in West Street, St Ives, serving the local farming community. The first recognisable glimpse of Standen as it is known today came in 1906, when Samuel’s son, Frank Standen, filed a patent for a fixed tine cultivator. The company now manufactures and exports a range of agricultural machinery including potato harvesters, planters, rotavators, toppers and tillers, at its manufacturing facility in Ely,

Cambridgeshire. Meanwhile, its imported machinery division, Standen Imports, specialises in vegetable and salad planting and harvesting machines. Standen Engineering celebrated its 180-year anniversary at Haddenham Steam Rally, with a large display of machines throughout the early years of beet harvesting machinery through to modern day potato planting and harvesting. Machines on show included the Standen Hoover, Standen Hoe, 1950s Universal, 1957 single row beet lifter, along with more modern equipment including the 2026 SR300 three row potato planter, 2026 T2XS two row potato harvester. Edward Gilbert, sales director at Standen Engineering, said: “As we celebrate 180 years in business, we look forward to the next 180, at the heart of our operation is a factory employing 60 people, producing first class British built machinery, proudly supporting British agriculture”

Home-grown expertise, from soil to store There’s a good reason growers up and down the country turn to Standen when it comes to potatoes:

it’s what it specialises in. Since 1846, this small corner of Ely, Cambridgeshire has built a reputation for machinery that covers the full potato growing lifecycle, from the first pass of ground preparation, through to planting and harvesting. Every cultivator, bed former, planter, harvester and destoner carrying the Standen name is designed and manufactured in Cambridgeshire. All Standen machinery is genuinely British-built, from the first weld to the final coat of paint, meaning that they can build to your specification. That matters to growers who need machines robust enough for heavy Fenland soils one week and light sandy ground the next. Buying British also means backup you can rely on. Standen’s parts and service team is on hand throughout the season, with instruction manuals, parts and support only ever a phone call away. Plus there’s a dealer network spanning the UK ready to help keep machines running when it matters most. When a breakdown simply isn’t an option, that kind of support close to home counts. FG

Weather steers growers to biostimulants With this season’s potato yields around 11% below the 2021–25 average, UK potato growers need all the help they can get to combat heatwaves, droughts, and rising costs. Biostimulants could provide the solution. Marcus Palmer, the UK distributor of the biostimulant Algifol has seen a rise in enquiries from growers looking to increase the survival chances of next year’s potato crop. “We know from field trials and customer feedback that Algifol helps potatoes deal with

challenging conditions,” he says. Field trials in challenging conditions delivered clear results. On Melody in Cheshire, three applications increased total tuber numbers by 29.6% and the valuable 40–64mm packing fraction by 27.3%, with tubers 22% heavier than untreated. Accord trials showed greater uniformity and an 18% weight gain; further work on Accord and Lady Rosetta recorded 7–13% more tubers. Growers report greener canopies that last longer under stress, more even size grades, and better overall quality. Produced from concentrated North Atlantic brown algae, Algifol is rich in natural trace elements, vitamins, enzymes, amino acids, carbohydrates, polyuronides and growth-regulating hormones. Applied at one litre per hectare, typically three times in the season, Algifol strengthens root systems, improves nutrient uptake and photosynthesis, and helps plants tolerate drought, heat, frost and waterlogging.

Improve water security and irrigation efficiency Effective and efficient water management has been essential for profitable potato production over much of the UK this year and support for practical improvements is coming from a variety of new grant schemes. The eastern counties were hardest hit by this year’s drought and Cambridge has a county-wide scheme in place. Although the summer round has closed, 50% funding for projects that improve efficiency in water management is being made available in autumn and winter rounds which close on 29th November 2026 and 17th January 2027 respectively (subject to remaining funds). National grant aid for reservoirs is also available through the Water Management Grant. This grant typically

covers up to 40% of eligible capital costs up to £500,000 and includes selected equipment. To help the funding go further, Briggs Irrigation is providing out of season discounts through to the end of the year on its complete range of irrigation booms, hose reels, pumps and ancillary equipment. Managing director of Briggs Irrigation, Adrian Colwill said: “It has been an extraordinary year. We have seen growers recoup the cost of new irrigation systems over a remarkably short part of the season. Looking ahead, water security is going to be paramount which also means the most efficient systems will be essential. We are always ready to help farmers find the best solutions for their needs.” FG

Ease the way for potato planting Cousins of Emneth’s Bed Loosener has proved to be effective in the extremely dry conditions this autumn, preparing ground ahead of bed tilling operations. The machine is able to perform a loosening job while creating workable soil, easing the way for the following operations, saving time and other input costs. The Bed Loosener is also useful in wetter conditions. Following periods of extremely wet weather, it will improve drainage and allow soil aeration. Opening up the soil in this way can allow earlier access to the land at times when the window of opportunity for

working can be very limited. The mini-loosening, slitter tines are arranged in a pattern of six per bed, staggered over three rows, to give an even soil flow through the machine, with low horsepower requirement. Tines work to a depth of approximately 150mm and are individually adjustable. Depth control is by two pairs of rubber wheels. The standard machine is 7.6m overall width, to effectively work 4x bed widths of 1.8m. It is hydraulically folding to 2.8m for transport. The frame allows space to fit ridging bodies and disc markers if required. More information can be found at cousinsofemneth.co.uk FG

Keeping tubers dormant, firm and in marketable condition is therefore about more than controlling sprouts – it is about protecting every tonne. For growers looking to carry that value through storage, 1,4SIGHT® offers a proven starting point. Made from 1,4-dimethylnaphthalene (DMN), it was the first DMN product brought to market. By maintaining the tuber’s natural dormant state, 1,4SIGHT can support skin quality, reduce weight loss and help preserve potatoes for fresh and processing markets – giving more of the crop the opportunity to reach customers in field-fresh condition.

No two crops – or stores – behave exactly alike. DormFresh offers practical technical advice on potatoes, store management and treatment best practice, helping growers plan around crop condition, storage duration and the needs of the end market. This informed approach helps make 1,4SIGHT part of a storage programme shaped around the crop. Combining a naturally occurring active ingredient with knowledgeable technical support, 1,4SIGHT provides growers with a practical way to manage dormancy, safeguard crop value and send more good potatoes to market.

New potato conference in Lincolnshire The British Potato Confex 2026 is a brand new two-day potato event launching at the Lincolnshire Showground on the 18th and 19th November. Farmers and potato industry insiders have long been keen for an event to fill the off years between the biannual British Potato Industry Event in Harrogate. The ‘Confex’ of the title hints at the exciting news that this event is formed of a ‘conference’ and an

‘exhibition’. The organisers promise “…inspiring keynote speakers, practical workshops, and focussed breakout sessions – alongside a curated exhibition showcasing the latest products, services and innovations shaping the future of the sector.” Visitors attending the British Potato Confex can expect educational sessions, workshops and seminars from a programme of speakers and panels.

Designated breakout areas will be hosting informative discussions including topic-focused sessions delving into what matters to your business. It’s not too late for exhibitors to book a slot within a conference area to discuss, promote and debate potato-related topics. Suppliers and other industry relevant businesses will be taking over the exhibition area to showcase their products and services.

There is no cover charge to attend the British Potato Confex 2026. FG

Uniquely designed for maximum wear life

The Samro provides an efficient and reliable solution for removing stones and clods from harvested crops, the supplier claims. Designed for the demanding conditions of potato and root vegetable handling, the Samro uses a mechanical separation process to distinguish between stones, clods and crop based on their density and size. This provides highly effective separation while helping to minimise the risk of crop damage and reduce the need for manual sorting. The system performs reliably across a range of soil and crop conditions, offering flexibility throughout the harvesting and grading process. Its robust construction is designed to withstand demanding working environments, providing consistent performance with minimal adjustment and maintenance. By improving separation efficiency and reducing labour requirements, the Samro helps growers and packers improve overall handling efficiency while ensuring unwanted stones and clods are effectively removed before further grading and processing.

Trailers that can handle wet weather After one of the driest summers on record, farmers are expecting rain to be non-stop when it finally comes. Harvesting in wet conditions is not ideal, Robin Griffiths, a potato farmer in Shropshire, shares his experience: “When I was harvesting, I was aware you’d have dry seasons and wet seasons. I chose Richard Western Rootcrop Trailers because in wet weather they float across the ground and are still towable, even when the trailer rocks and rolls due to the ruts in the field, they’re still easy to load and get out of the field. “I have a mixed fleet and one AS114370

The box loader that has altered lifting The Larrington Guardian Box Loader has quietly become one of the more influential pieces of equipment in modern potato lifting. The company claims it redefines how growers protect crop quality from field to store. At a time when bruising, skinning and impact damage can wipe thousands off a season’s return, the Guardian offers predictable, repeatable gentleness. Its controlled chute system and Cushion-Lock technology place potatoes into the box with a consistency no manual team or improvised setup can match. The Guardian’s ability to streamline labour without compromising quality distinguishes

it from competitors. Growers can lift directly into boxes without running the crop across a grader, saving wages at the busiest point of the year and reserving grading only for when the crop is sold. That shift has changed lifting economics for farms across Europe, North America and Asia, where the Guardian is now more common than in its home market. Durability also plays a part. A loader that protects potatoes for two decades is an investment in crop management discipline. In a competitive market, the Guardian is intended to give growers a cleaner, brighter, undamaged sample that holds its value long after lifting. FG

available calcium in the root zone ahead of planting, Glenn says, with over 250kg of elemental calcium in every tonne applied. Independent Yorkshire potato agronomist John Sarup is a keen advocate of using lime directly ahead of potatoes, but mostly for its impact on ensuring the optimum soil pH to maximise nutrient availability. “Lime is extremely important, and I recommend it a lot for use directly ahead of potatoes where pH is below six,” he says. “Fertiliser is very expensive, so we need to make sure we’re using as much of what is spread as possible. One way to do that is by making sure pH is optimal.” His primary focus for controlling common scab is ensuring moisture at tuber initiation with correctly timed irrigation, he says, but the use of lime can play a role. “A lot of people have been sceptical about using lime, but the trial work, especially calcium-based lime, has disproved that and we’ve seen enough to know that it will help. “With a product like LimeX, you’re getting much more than just neutralising value,” he notes. “Some of my growers are using it very successfully, seeing a better skin finish and better quality generally.” FG

Increasingly dry springs are potentially putting more pressure on common scab control, which develops when tubers experience a dry surface in the three to six weeks following tuber initiation. While correctly applied irrigation during that period provides effective control, more frequent dry periods and potential restrictions on water use provide reasons to adopt additional approaches to mitigate risk. Liming, perhaps controversially, could be one. Much of the historic literature and advice suggest that liming directly before planting potatoes increased the risk of common scab infections and severity, but data collected by British Sugar and others in the past decade shows the opposite, according to LimeX business manager Glenn Carlisle. Trials in 2024 found the same large reductions of up to 50% in scabbed tubers as previous work from 2012–15, he says. The apparent disconnect stems partly from the assumption that the bacteria that causes common scab, Streptomyces scabiei, is more active at high pH, Glenn says. “However, when growing a scabsusceptible variety, such as Maris Piper, a better form of control is to ensure the growing tuber has access to an abundance of available calcium in the soil. “As well as helping to reduce calcium deficiency symptoms, like internal rust spot, the plants transport calcium to areas infected by the bacteria, strengthening cell walls and reducing the spread of infections.” The fine particle size of LimeX rapidly increases

Simon Lee, Tong (Left) and Martin van der Have, Flikweert (Right).

Tong and Flikweert Vision strengthen UK partnership Tong Engineering and Flikweert Vision have expanded their partnership, with Tong now representing the Netherlands-based optical sorting specialist across the agricultural sector throughout Southern England and Wales. Building on several successful collaborative projects, including a recent installation for a UK-based potato and root crop grower where labour efficiency doubled following the introduction of the Flikweert Vision QualityGrader, the collaboration brings together Tong’s expertise in complete grading and handling systems with Flikweert Vision’s specialist potato and onion optical sorting solutions. The result is a fully-integrated system that maximises sorting performance, streamlines crop flow and delivers exceptional grading results.

As demand continues to grow for smarter, more automated postharvest solutions, growers can benefit from improved grading consistency, reduced labour dependency, increased throughput and simpler day-to-day operation through one complete, integrated system. Simon Lee, Sales Director at Tong Engineering, said: “We’re seeing increasing demand from customers looking to introduce optical sorting into their grading operations. Whilst the technology delivers significant benefits as a standalone machine, its full potential is realised when it is engineered into a complete grading and handling line, combining Flikweert Vision’s optical sorting expertise with Tong’s handling equipment.” For more information on integrated optical sorting solutions, visit Tong Engineering.

MACHINERY

Weaving adds electronic control unit to Agrimaster hedge cutter Weaving Machinery has announced an updated version of its hedge cutter range that is in stock and available for farmers now. The key development is the addition of an electronic control unit, bringing it in line with competitors like McConnel. The company has been the official UK stockist of the Italian manufactured Agrimaster brand since 2000. “Customers have always asked us for electronic controls,” says Simon Weaving, sales director at Weaving Machinery. “To add this functionality, we have imported the standard Agrimaster hedge cutters, then fitted our own hydraulic control valve and electronic controller.” The electronic unit has been developed in-house by the Weaving product design team. “It provides much smoother control of the machine, and it is much easier to take on and off in the cab. You also don’t have big hydraulic cables running into the cab.” The entry-level 1.25m working width machine is competitively

priced, with successive models working up to the top-of-the-range AGR-650T telescopic model. Prices remain the same as before the update, with Simon committed to offering the upgraded electronic control system at no additional cost for the rest of this year. “Considering the build quality, Agrimaster hedge cutters represent exceptional value for money,” he adds. Weaving Machinery is a familyrun farm equipment company founded in 1983, offering farmers high-quality agricultural machinery, which is effective yet simple to operate and built with the farmer in mind. Seed drills and cultivators are manufactured by Weaving Machinery in-house in Chadbury, Worcestershire. This ‘Made in Britain’ value extends to material procurement, where priority is given to carefully selected local suppliers. Enabling an efficient and cost-effective approach to low disturbance farming is a key focus, representatives of Weaving

Machinery claim. Decades of experience and continued product development have made it a leading manufacturer of low disturbance drills and cultivators. In addition to their UKmanufactured stock, Weaving Machinery offers a high-quality

selection of flail mowers, hedge cutters, electronic gates, silage and grassland equipment from leading European manufacturers, including Agrimaster and Mammut. For more information about the Weaving Machinery range, visit https://weaving-machinery.com FG

MARKET UPDATE

Monthly market UPDATE and FORECAST Arable farmers have seen wheat prices fluctuate considerably post-harvest, although values have held above £200/t into October, offering an improved margin for growers after a more challenging start to the year. UK feed wheat futures for the November 2026 contract peaked at almost £220/t in early September before losing ground later in the month. However, the market has since found some renewed strength, with prices lifting to roughly £210/t in early October. Domestic wheat markets continue to follow wider global trends, with geo-politics impacting export volumes out from the Black Sea region and the US maize harvest being two of the key watchpoints for the market. Market fundamentals remain relatively bearish with estimated global wheat stocks lifting to 276m tonnes, according to the US Department of Agriculture’s latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report. Meanwhile, wheat production in the UK is forecast to be down, due to a smaller harvest area and lower yields, following an exceptionally dry summer. Luke Carr, chief revenue officer at Hectare Trading, said: “UK wheat supply is expected to be relatively tight following a disappointing 2026 harvest, while lower English wheat plantings provide another constraint on domestic production. “For UK farmers, one of the more important developments is the growing pressure on production margins. Diesel and nitrogen prices have increased, while disappointing yields mean the cost of producing each tonne of grain is higher.” The latest agricultural input inflation “agflation” figures back this up, with consultancy firm the Andersons Centre calculating that farm costs had risen at more than twice the rate of general inflation in the year to September, despite agricultural output prices falling.

Harvest highlights UK wheat yields averaged 6.9t/ ha in 2026, according to the AHDB’s final estimates, down from a 10-year average of 7.9t/ha. Farmers Guide deputy editor, Charlie Reeve

Helen Plant, lead cereals and oilseeds analyst at AHDB, said the overall picture remained challenging for many growers following an incredibly variable harvest. “Average yields only tell part of the story. We have seen huge differences between farms, with factors such as soil type, drilling date, previous cropping, local weather conditions and moisture availability all appearing to influence final performance. Ms Plant added: “Despite some late improvements, average yields for several key crops remain below both recent and longer-term averages.”FG

MARKET INSIGHT FROM HECTARE TRADING Overall, the market has moved from a supply-driven rally towards a more finely balanced phase. UK grain remains relatively scarce, but global stocks, export competition and demand concerns are limiting the upside.

ABOUT PEOPLE Remembering Paul Cater Prior to his retirement, he also worked with GJ Peck in Dereham. Our thoughts are with Tina and his family during this difficult time. Paul will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Paul Cater was featured in Farmers Guide in 2005 when he switched from BW Mack to Merlo.

The Campaign for Wool is pleased to announce the appointment of Ian Maclean MBE as its new chair. Ian succeeds the late Peter Ackroyd MBE, who sadly, and unexpectedly, passed away in July 2026 after serving as chair since January 2025. Peter’s contribution as chair and to the global textile industry for over 50 years was greatly valued, and his untimely passing was deeply felt. The appointment is announced during Wool Month in October, when the Campaign for Wool will once again bring together farmers, manufacturers, designers, brands, retailers and consumers through a programme of events and activities celebrating wool and its many applications across fashion, interiors and artisan products. Commenting on his appointment, Ian Maclean MBE said: “It is a great honour to be appointed Chairman of the Campaign for Wool. Wool has such an important role to play in the future of textiles, with its natural, renewable and biodegradable qualities making it increasingly

relevant as we seek more sustainable materials and more responsible ways of producing and consuming. I look forward to working with our partners and supporters around the world to build on the strong foundations laid by those who have led the Campaign before me, and to continue championing wool for future generations.”

New BVA president urges vets to unite

Lord Bamford and his son George Bamford.

JCB invests for its next chapter George Bamford is to become joint chair of the family company alongside his father, Lord Bamford. It is the first change at the top of JCB in more than 50 years, during which the business has grown from its Staffordshire roots into one of Britain’s largest privately owned manufacturers, with 23 factories and more than 20,000 employees worldwide. The announcement coincides with JCB reporting a resilient performance in 2025, despite mixed market conditions and geopolitical headwinds around the world. Sales turnover totalled £5.7 billion, profit before tax was £642 million and machine sales reached 113,498 units, while the

business remained debt-free with no net borrowings. JCB also increased its global market share, despite flat demand in North America and a 12% market contraction in India. At the heart of JCB’s investment in Britain is the £100 million transformation of its Staffordshire headquarters – JCB’s home since 1950, when Joseph Cyril Bamford moved production into a former cheese factory in Rocester. A £60 million fully automated powder paint plant and a comprehensively modernised shop floor are part of the transformation, helping to secure the future of more than 8,000 UK jobs.

Welsh farm vet and academic Dr Gwenllian Mair Rees BVSc (Hons) PhD FHEA FRSM FRCVS has been elected President of the British Veterinary Association for 20262027 at BVA Day in London today. A 2009 University of Liverpool graduate, Dr Rees worked in farm and equine practice in West Wales and New Zealand before taking up a role as Teaching Fellow in Population Medicine at Bristol Vet School. In 2019, she was awarded a PhD for her research on prescription veterinary medicine use by UK dairy farmers. Dr Rees, who served as BVA’s Welsh Branch President from 2023 to 2025, is one of the founding academics at Wales’ first School of Veterinary Science, at Aberystwyth University, where she now works as a lecturer. Addressing members, she said: “We have a significant year ahead.

BVA will be helping the profession navigate the implementation of the CMA reforms – making sure that changes work in practice for veterinary teams, clients and, above all, animal health and welfare.”

ABOUT PEOPLE — www.farmersguide.co.uk/jobs

Paul Cater passed away following a long and courageous battle with Parkinson’s disease. Paul had a long and distinguished career in our industry. In the 1970s, he worked for BW Mack Machinery buying and selling second hand machinery. He was one of the earliest advertisers in Farmers Guide, where he advertised his used equipment during the tenure of founder editor Doug Potts. He was instrumental in selling Same tractors before transitioning the company to the Renault Tractor Franchise, where he achieved significant sales success over many years. He also excelled in promoting and selling Merlo loaders when the brand was first introduced. In March 2005, Paul joined Merlo directly as the Regional Sales Manager for the eastern side of the UK.
