#La Nina weather in Oz

According to one #Australian customer: 

The east of Oz is wallowing in mud with bumper crops expected.  It’s a #La Nina weather event and all the iconic rivers are in flood over there, the mighty Murray River flowing like it used to.

AutoStreamer revolutionises liquid fertiliser application

Now in stock at Agratech, the Auto Streamer is Billericay Farm Services’ new variable rate nozzle system for liquid fertiliser applications.

 Using a clever quad-valve system encased in rubber, the Auto Streamer allows a ten-fold increase in flow rates to be achieved from using only a three-fold increase in pressure.

 As a result, application rates can be varied from 60 to 600 litres/ha at 12kph using a suitable GPS rate controller without the need to ever change nozzle sizes.

 The Auto Streamer costs £28.50 per nozzle assembly and is compatible with Yara’s N-Sensor.

Submersible Pumps – last few in stock!!!

We have just a handful of Silverline Submersible Dirty  Water Pumps available, 550w and 500 watt models.

You can see the 550W version here  and you will find the 500w version here!

Update on Agratech Orders!

Only a handful of Knapsack sprayer orders still outstanding from Christmas backlog.

Thank you all for your patience during the past couple of weeks.

After the snow, we have been flooded at the unit today, so pumping out! (Trying to stay calm), luckily we had some Submersible Pumps in stock!!!!

And then the Sprayer Test Troughs have made useful baths for catching the water overnight.

Normal service will be resumed soon!

Update on Christmas and new year orders!

Well, what a week!!! Bad weather keeps Kids off school, snowed out of the unit and last, but not least, Mr L rushed into hospital yesterday!

BLIMEY!

I am doing all that I can, but order despatch is somewhat behind. (in addition, as Blogged on Tuesday, the couriers cannot get to us because of the snow!)

If you need an order urgently, please email me. Do not phone, as I cannot answer the calls at the moment. Email ([email protected]) with your order number and tell me the date you need items for.

I am doing as much as I can in a limited amount of time, and your patience and understanding is very much appreciated!

Thanks!
