Exhibitor Press Releases

Like Christmas and New Year, there are certain events in the calendar that come around with pleasing regularity and, for us in the Acres team and a large chunk of the farming community, LAMMA is one such event.

For its second year now, LAMMA was held at the NEC. Despite initial concerns about the change of venue last year, being inside certainly makes for a much more pleasant and relaxed experience for visitors and exhibitors. Once again, there was a buzz around the exhibition centre with both days being incredibly busy on the Acres stand. Last year, the first time it left Peterborough Showground and the wind, rain and wellies that inevitably came along with it. LAMMA was our first show at Acres and it has been wonderful to reflect on how far we have come in 12 short months: from a largely unknown new company to a recognised agricultural insurance business with a growing client base.

Unsurprisingly, conversation was centered largely around the weather and the challenges it has brought, although reports differed widely depending on who you spoke to and where they came from. One farmer in Essex was 90% drilled up, whereas many farmers in the central and eastern regions had very little in the ground and were considering now leaving it fallow this year and taking advantage of the opportunity to hit the blackgrass hard.

We had a busy couple of days with a steady stream of clients keeping the Acres team busy throughout the day. It was fantastic to see some old faces and also welcome some new ones, all willing to discuss business and see how Acres could improve their cover, reduce their premiums and provide them with personal customer service.

LAMMA is always a day for the big names to debut their latest innovations and this year was no different. Fendt were exhibiting their Fendt Ideal combine, the first combine in Europe to forgo a steering wheel allowing an impressive, unobstructed view of the header. Fendt were also showing their latest telescopic loader complete with a hydraulically lifting cab allowing the operator a clearer view whilst loading and unloading. These, along with Fendt’s redesigned, widescreen cab, meant that their stand was filled with farmers reaching for their cheque books.

Other notable exhibits included Stewart Trailers, who have developed a central tyre inflation system for its trailer range, allowing the operator to switch from field to road pressure in around 45 seconds and even a GPS system for auto-inflation, for those more forgetful operators. Furthermore, a number of drills, such as Bednar’s Omega and the Sulky Progress, were being shown which are able to sow three different crops with one pass, reducing compaction and man hours.

LAMMA is always a busy and tiring couple of days for all of us in the Acres team but we always enjoy the buzz of the show. It demonstrates the thriving and innovative nature of farming in the UK. LAMMA has set a very high bar for the year and we are looking forward to working with you in 2020!

High rainfall and saturated soils are leaving many growers wondering what they can profitably sow in spring 2020. With many opting for spring barley, prices for that commodity will inevitably be under pressure next autumn. As a sales rep with over 40 years experience working for one of the UK's largest agri supply companies once said "The trick is to grow the crops that no one else is growing".

At Lamma this year our staff will be on hand to discuss the range of high value, specialist and added value arable crops in the Premium Crops portofolio. All of these options will offer prices above those of conventional spring sown species and many can be sown later in the season when the weather abates and access to previously water soaked fields is possible.  

For the first time ever Premium Crops have launched a linseed contract with a guaranteed oil premium for crops grown with one such VT50 (aka 'Nulin'). An Ultra high ALA variety to meet the requirements of the high omega-3 animmal feed sector.

With linseed market prices at the highest they've been for over 6 years PLUS a guaranteed oil premium, we could well see linseed gross margins exceeding £1000 per hectare.

Micron's drift reducing sprayers score top marks from CRD-Undavina 400 CDA.

Micron Group, manufacturer of low volume precision sprayers for agricultural, horticultural and amenity applications have recently had their range of shielded equipment re-assessed for LERAP (Local Environmental Risk Assessment for Pesticides) Low Drift status by the Chemicals Regulation Directorate. Micron Varidome, Spraydome, Undavina and Spraymiser Boom sprayers (both CDA and HiFlo models) have all achieved a four star LERAP accreditation – the highest rating currently available in the UK – which recognises the sprayers as a DRT (Drift Reducing Technology) with proven drift potential reduction of over 90 percent.

The wind tunnel testing carried out in conjunction with Silsoe Spray Applications Unit to support the LERAP application had shown that the shields actually have the potential to reduce spray drift by over 95 percent, with no drift at all recorded using the Varidome shield and CDA nozzles.

Commenting on this achievement, Tom Bals, Managing Director at Micron, said: “Ever since the inception of our company in 1954, targeted pest control has been at the heart of our business. For decades our research and development efforts have been dedicated to reducing the environmental impact of pesticides through innovative technologies with a particular focus on low volume application - initially via atomisers and sprayers using Controlled Droplet Application technology invented by Micron which is also a DRT. Current demands require increasing precision of product placement through careful spray system selection and our range of shielded band sprayer systems for reducing drift offers users major commercial benefits in terms of targeted application and economy of pesticide usage.”
