Love the way you can look around the video.

Principles of feeding – late pregnancy and post lambing
• Assess body condition score
• Group accordingly
• Analyse forage
• Assess ewes – metabolic profiles
• Quality of supplement
• MAXIMISE dry matter intake
• Post lambing nutrition
• Grazing cover, forage, supplements

Assess body condition score
• Ewe nutrition – year round importance
• Aim – optimum body condition score at lambing
• Lambing ease
• Minimal risk of disease – metabolic, dystocia, prolapse
• Colostrum quality/quantity

Body condition score targets
• Targets at lambing
• Lowland Ewe – 3-3.5
• Hill ewe – 2.5
• Achieving the correct BCS provides adequate mobilisation body reserves
• Ewes can lose -75-200g/day contributing to energy/protein supply

Effective...

Make sure you choose the right varieties for your circumstances by checking varietal traits - find out more about canopy architecture and how it can help you to pick varieties that fit your soil type or management plan. Dr Simon Bowen explains more...

Objectives for optimum ewe nutrition and management
• Optimum body condition score (BCS) – 3.5 for lowland (2.5 hill)
• Achieving body weight targets at mating
• Maximising fertility – ovulation rate, conception and low barren rate Early pregnancy nutrition
• Maintaining pregnancy – reducing embryonic loss

Target body condition score
• Assess and group AT WEANING and split
• Target – 3.5 BCS for lowland ewes and 2.5 for hill ewes pre tupping
• Allow 10 -12 weeks from mating
• To gain a condition score (=10% bodyweight) i.e. 70kg ewe – 7kg gain over 100 days.
• Energy requirements – 15.4 MJ/day = 1.54kgDM per ewe per day
• Available nutrition
• Action plan

We have just had a demo of this at Agritechnica and it’s very impressive indeed. Lots of tasks and information easily shared and most importantly it’s available free for all Fendt customers with a Profi Plus tractor from the past 8 years.

Big new competitor in the high capacity twin rotor combine market from John Deere


Looks like they have the European market firmly in their sights with this. They confidently talked about outputs of over 100t/hr at sub 1% losses

New header, Cab, styling, chopper.......... well new everything really ! - a really impressive bit of machinery

When John Deere finally show their hand for their vision of future farming they do it seriously well !!

A rather mind blowing video of how they see the various components coming together

Some drone footage I got last week while drilling our winter beans

New Holland built the new T8 Genesis™ with PLM Intelligence™ around the input of operators like you. From a reimagined cab designed to offer the most comfortable and convenient driver experience, to next-generation intuitive controls that can be easily customized to the tasks at hand, every detail has been carefully engineered to meet your needs. The new T8 Genesis with PLM Intelligence is also the first tractor on the market to fully integrate New Holland’s advanced Precision Land Management platform. So, no matter where you are, you’re always connected to real-time insights, information, and support.

This is Contadino, our first fully electric, autonomous robot platform for high precision farming! He will make agriculture more efficient, sustainable and even much safer. How? Find it out at the premiere of his prototype at @Agritechnica (booth C22, hall 4) on November, 11!

Healthy soils are essential for human survival. Not only do they support plant and animal production, but they also play a major role in shaping our planet. They can absorb rainwater acting like a buffer against both floods and droughts. They are the living upper part of the earth’s crust and play an integral part of the element cycles. Fundamentally soil is the ultimate digestive system, decomposing all that lived and recycling it to enable new life.
