AHDB develop soil health scorecard
The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) have developed a way to quantify the health of your soil. In 2016, AHDB and BBRO funded the five-year Soil Biology and Soil Health Partnership. With its focus on soil health, one ambition was to produce a toolkit to assist with its measurement and management. One of the first tasks was to review what could be measured and how practical ...

New foliar nutrient to improve sugar beet yields
How it works The early growth stage is crucial to sugar beet yield, as sugar accumulation begins from very early in the growth cycle. Optimising nutrition during this important early phase encourages more even, healthy leaf growth and more productive photosynthesis when the sun shines. With the higher nutrient demand of sugar beet for NPK, Magnesium and essential micronutrients such as Boron, ...

‘Exploding’ sugar beet cells for faster fermentation
Sugar beet is an interesting raw material in the biobased economy as the sugars it contains can easily be fermented into valuable molecules. This does require a profitable process, however. The European ERA-NET innovation project ChemBeet is developing a very promising technology in which cells are exploded to create a faster and cheaper fermentation process. “The sugar from sugar beet ...

Successful biobased pilot installations in Lelystad fully operational for businesses
Fermentation of manure and biomass can become more economically viable if it is combined with biorefinery and the residual streams are optimally used. The EnergieRijk PPS programme has therefore linked a co-fermenter to biorefinery installations and an algae pond. Although the successful project has now been concluded, the research facilities at the ACRRES premises in Lelystad are still fully ...

Eight things you should know about GMOs
The use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) remains controversial, which is why the EU has very strict rules and complex authorisation procedures concerning their cultivation and commercialisation. Since April 2015, EU countries are able to ban the cultivation of GMOs on their territory, but should they have the same power regarding their commercialisation? Parliament's environment committee ...

Beet your Molasses requirements with dedicated Molasses Tanks
Towards the end of the summer, attention gradually shifts towards providing for livestock throughout the winter months, and along with the impending beet crops, the production and storage of molasses is once more back on the agenda. Across many livestock and dairy farms, molasses forms the basis of numerous feed formulas. As we all know, molasses provide a number of core nutrients for cattle and ...

Compost and climate change: a novel mitigation strategy?
Native soils are thought to take up more of the greenhouse gas methane than land used for farming. This study shows that, while agriculture can exert an adverse impact on soil methane uptake, the application of soil conditioners like compost may compensate for loss of the methane sink function. The researchers propose new land management strategies based on this finding. Agriculture has become ...

First 4th Generation T Series Reach Customers
Coinciding with the launch of the new T-series in November 2014, the factory in Suolahti, Finland, began mass production of the newly developed and extensively tested tractor range. Across Europe, including in Germany, the first machines are already working on farmland and with contractors. We were present at one of the handovers, and talked to the new owners. A white T174e Direct with front ...

Water demand for crops may rise in northern Germany under warmer climate
By 2070, there may be insufficient water for irrigation to ensure yields and profitability for some crops currently grown in northern Germany - if the IPCC´s worst case climate change scenario becomes a reality - new research warns. To reduce future demand for water under a changing climate, the study suggests that farmers grow different crops and change their management practices. In ...

NFU Cymru Reminds Farmers to Complete Harvest Survey – Molasses Tanks and Cone Bottom Tanks for Harvest
Farmers are being urged by NFU Cymru to complete a questionnaire about this years harvest. The Harvest Survey will contribute towards the first source of published data on UK crop production levels for this year. It also looks to get the full picture of the wheat crop by mid-September and the year’s harvest of major combinable crops to date by early October. The Harvest Survey will also ...

Plan Ahead For the Beet Harvest – Get Your Molasses Tanks in Place
Although the UK’s farmers will not be harvesting their beet crops until around December onwards, it’s time to start planning ahead when it comes to storing molasses, a by-product of this harvest. Proven time and time again to be one of the best bases for a multitude of animal feeds, molasses should be stored correctly in order for the consistency and nutritional content to be ...

Record Crops Predicted – Storing Chemicals in Suitable Vertical Storage Tanks
The US is celebrating bumper crops this year, according to Farming UK. The publication states that the record-breaking corn harvest this year surpassed expectations of the US Department of Agriculture and it seems that because of the warm summer this year, that the UK could be following in its footsteps. Farming UK also reports on a trial that examines the good health of sugar beet crops. With ...

Project Looks At Water Uptake in Beet Crops – Rainwater Harvesting Tanks Reduce Irrigation Costs
Farmers Guardian recently reported on an interesting project being conducted by the University of Nottingham. The four year research project is looking at ways of enhancing water uptake in sugar beet crops that will cut costs and reduce irrigation. The impetus behind the project lies in the fact that UK sugar beet crops lose around ten per cent of available water through poor water uptake. The ...

Why I turned from GM opponent to advocate
Just under 20 years ago, when the issue of GMOs was first hitting the news, I was a dedicated anti-biotech activist. I believed that genetic modification was a dangerous technology that would harm the environment and dispossess farmers around the world. Accordingly, I joined with others in organising protests and even crop vandalism — I personally destroyed GMO field trials on multiple ...
