UK first as robot tractor starts work in Ipswich

He put the company in touch with Agrointelli — a farmer-owned agricultural machinery maker in Denmark — and by January, Andrew had secured approval from Home Farm’s board of directors to introduce the new technology on the farm. The new piece of 150 horsepower kit costs around £150k versus about £120k for a conventional manned machine, and is said to be highly fuel efficient.
“I am very, very pleased and excited about it,” said Mr Wiliams.
The machine — only in operation since mid-April — was already proving its worth, he said — although he admits it has been a learning curve.
On the first day after its arrival, the team at Home Farm Nacton tried it out on a potato field. What the farmers failed to realise was that while the field had been initially mapped out using GPS, it hadn’t when the field was de-stoned or when it was planted. That meant the mapping co-ordinates no longer reflected the precise plan on the ground and the weeder went awry as a result.

Interest in forward fuel pricing brings Budget duty warning

Rising crude oil markets have led to early enquiries to forward-fix red diesel prices. However, suppliers and buying groups warn that the 3 March Budget could bring higher fuel duties.
The premium to fix for harvest and autumn 2021 currently averages about 2p/litre, but varies widely depending on suppliers’ opinions of how oil markets will develop.
Farm fuel prices have been on an upward trend since early November, having been lower than 42p/litre throughout October .
This gathered pace recently as oil prices rose, putting spot deliveries at between 48.5p/litre and 52.5p/litre at the time of publishing, with the range reflecting volume and location. This was just over 1% higher on the previous week’s levels and matched year-ago levels.
