Stratified Layer Technology is a unique combination of two layers - The first layer with a multi-angle lug profile and the second layer with a single angle lug profile. Each lug of AGRI STAR II is formed by combining these layers. Even after prolonged wear, the second layer of lug ensures traction and roadability, making it well-equipped for on and off-field operations.

A partnership of Paul Roe Contracting and Kevin Mowbray has announced it will be the exclusive UK importer of the unique Zocon Greenseeder catch crop system.

Animal impact + carbon source followed by full recovery period. Feeding soil biology with a carbon source stirred and trampled by a group of ruminant animals is the gold standard for building healthy soil.

January began settled and cloudy with mild weather for most of the month except for a cold, wet period towards the end of the month. Consequently, the provisional UK mean temperature in January was 5.6oC, which is 2.0oC above the long-term national average (1981-2010). Regionally temperatures were above average across all regions in January and the preceding 3 months (November 2019 – January 2020).

Overall, UK rainfall was as expected in January. However, this varied widely between regions and considerably above average in north and west Scotland, and below average in Northern Ireland and the east of England. For the preceding three months regional rainfall showed a pattern of above average in more southern regions of the UK.
