….the search continues. Still trying to find a sprayer operator who likes lifting 20L (26kg) glyphosate cans. Make your day easier and chose a 640L CTS IBC of Roundup Energy from @FrontierAg and @Bayer4CropsUK

Were you or family at Shuttleworth in the mid 60s to late 80s? V high chance you are in college photos that have recently been rescued and just uploaded on the Shuttleworth Alumni (old gits) website. Many have names against them. They were the days…. shuttleworthalumni.co.uk/

Always guaranteed good insightful discussions with potato growers….today was no exception. Included Crown MH from @certis_belchim and CTS from Richard Garnett of @Ezi_Connect
Today, our closed transfer system lead, Nick Badger & product development manager, Darren Wonnacott are at @wcmpots’ annual trials day talking all things potatoes, including seed treatments, store hygiene and use of our CTS for cleaner, safer, more efficient input applications. If you’re visiting be sure to stop by, they’ll be at the event at South Cave, East Yorks until 3pm. 🥔🌱

If using Crown from @FrontierAg in an IBC for the first time, drop me a DM or contact your Frontier agronomist to get a Wisdom System CTS kit from @RichardhGarnett . It’s pre calibrated and simple to use.
Maleic hydrazide Crown MH is available in 20-litre cans or 600-litre IBC containers & can be loaded into the sprayer using the Fastran 850 closed transfer system. 🥔Liquid non-foaming formulation 🥔Less time loading, more time spraying 🥔Reduced exposure certisbelchim.co.uk/products…

In my mind, IBC=No repetitive 20L can lifting, no bad back, no twisting caps off, no glugging, no triple rinsing and no disposal costs. Just sounds like a better experience…. Thanks @Bayer4CropsUK @RichardhGarnett
"Roundup Energy is available in 640L CTS IBCs for quick, easy & safe loading to sprayers." Closed transfer specialist, Nick Badger, gives a timely reminder about the benefits of using Roundup Energy with the Frontier closed transfer system pre-harvest. loom.ly/YDIrDL0

Farming or food processing business with a focus on sustainability? Benefits of CTS include improved H&S for the sprayer operator, more hectares sprayed/day, reduction in environmental contamination by the concentrate of 95% and a 50% reduction in plastic. CTS delivers
"The industry is under increasing pressure to cut its consumption of single-use plastics & adopting CTS technology provides an opportunity to achieve this both in manufacturing & on farm." Read more in this #blog, originally published by @cpm_magazine: loom.ly/X8j_SZY

Nice slick system Alan. Feel free to DM me or @RichardhGarnett of @Ezi_Connect if needed. Maybe soon time for Roundup Energy in 640L CTS IBC @Bayer4CropsUK , just give @FrontierAg a call to order. Remember the empty Energy IBC can be collected FOC, saving you time and hassle…
Thanks too @FrontierAg for Wisdom transfer system
