One of the first crops of the six row BYDV tolerant winter barley, Rafaela, has been harvested in Cornwall with very pleasing results.

The 6 ha field, that followed spring oats, was harvested on the 9th July at 4.50pm at Howton Farm in Saltash, Cornwall yielded 8.15t/ha and a specific weight of 66kg/hl.



Grower, John Moss believes that the BYDV tolerance definitely kicked in and protected yields. “We thought it would be worth trying Rafaela as we are in a BYDV hot spot - and despite the high BYDV pressure it’s proved its worth - so we definitely be putting some more in next year.”

“It’s been a super looking crop all the way through, tall and stood well, although we didn’t get as much straw off it as we would have liked.”

I'm looking for a job on a fairly big farm. I'd prefer to work on an arable farm as tractor/combine/sprayer operator. I do however have sheep experience and have worked as a shepherd on a mixed farm when there has not been arable work.

I've a real interest in organic farming and direct drilling, finding some of the threads on this forum really interesting.

I've experience on a wide range of farms and a wide range of kit from modern classics to modern machines. I used to have certificates for handlers, PA1, 2, 2A, 2C, but they were pre the changes where you had to re-test every number of years.

I'm hugely experienced with electronics and ISOBUS, GPS and Precision Farming. I'm also a competent mechanical engineer and can weld. I have a National Diploma in Agricultural Engineering...

Today, I am traveling in Switzerland, to film a direct cutting platter PERARD Unique to the World since there is only one, and it is in Switzerland. So I filmed the whole silage yard of immature cereals, from silage to granulation of the crop. Granules that are intended for cattle feed!

On December 28, 2018 I visited the Keystone Truck & Tractor Museum, located in Colonial Heights, Virginia, and shot this 'walk through' video.

We start by raking two huge windrows together but quickly figure out it will be too much for the rake and baler to handle. So we block one side up and use the right wing of the V-rake to flip each windrow over and help them dry out a little more. We run into some issues with the baler but we get it all done at the end of the day.

INTRODUCING THE ALL-NEW FENDT IDEAL COMBINE. Two new Fendt IDEAL large combines are featured in the video on a farm. The new combine harvester was awarded "Machine of the Year 2018" two times in the "Combine Harvester" category and in the Audience Award. AGCO has developed the Ideal Combine Ideal in three variants with 451, 538 and 647 hp. The video shows two combines of the type IDEAL 9T with the MAN engine variant.

In parallel with the 2019 harvest, hoes are at work also in corn and soybeans, as in this case with this unique implement in the world. From its 27m wide, this 36-rows (75cm) Steketee hoe moves behind a magnificent John Deere 8RT. This set works in CTF 9m (controlled traffic farming) in narrow Sly crawlers/tracks, to pass between rows.

2013 Video - Kemper concept study 2020 english - Agritechnica version

Will the market be ready for a 20-row harvester attachment in 2020? Kemper hopes to answer this question at Agritechnica in Hanover. Being the first company worldwide, Kemper introduces a 20-row harvester attachment that recently passed initial and promising field tests to customers, sales partners and manufacturers of agricultural machinery. Kemper's "Study 2020" meets the trend for constantly increasing working widths. Investigations have been carried out primarily on practical aspects such as maximum adequate working width, functionality and weight. Logistics and silo capacities have also been taken into account.

In this video, I make you live a day with alfalfa silage in Champagne. For this type of site, there is no tractor. The transport of material is made from semi-trailer. All trucks are equipped with 4-wheel drive. The two cans placed at the rear of the forage harvester are used to moisten the material to avoid recurrent jams when the alfalfa is too dry.
