Round bale wrappers added to product range

New Lely Attis trailed round bale wrappers have been added to the range for 2010, says Lely UK.

The Lely Attis  PT 130 wrapper is the simplest model in the new trailed range and has been developed for small and medium sized farms who want to wrap their bales at a modest price, says the company. And for high volume farmers and contractors who will appreciate the rugged construction and its ability to cope with different bale diameter sizes with easy adjustments there is the Lely Attis PS 160, it adds.

An innovative mix of red and white clover varieties, launched in Barenbrug's new  Grass & Forage Seeds 2010 catalogue,  is showing potential to increase yields, says the company's agricultural product manager David Long.

The new mixture 'Ensign Duet' combines Crusader, Alice and Barblanca white clovers with 66% Lemmon red clover for rapid nitrogen fixation for new leys, he explains. It is currently being tested by Barenbrug's at three UK sites - Cropvale in Worcestershire, Aberdeen in Scotland and Loughgall in Northern Ireland.
