Learn How to Beat The Rush at the Mid Argyll NFUS Rush Control Meeting!

Spring is round the corner and it’s almost time to beat the rush! Come along to the free Mid Argyll NFUS Rush Control Meeting at the Kilmartin Hotel in Argyll on 21st Feb to see the latest in weed wiping machinery.

Since the introduction of “Greening” laws, field maintenance has gained a new importance. With these new rules and regulations, failure to keep rush under control can lead to serious financial implications for farmers.

The best way to avoid such implications is to invest in a topper, mower or weed wiper but with so many machines on the market it can be difficult to choose. If you are unsure how best to wipe your weeds, then why not pop along to the Mid Argyll NFUS Rush Control Meeting! Not only will you get to see the latest mowers, toppers and weed wipers but you will also learn about how rush grows and spreads. Check out the line up of machinery we will be bringing below.

This nifty wiper has been designed to be towed behind an ATV or utilities vehicle and guarantees effective measures against many common weed species including rush, bracken, thistle and nettles. What’s more an electronic flow metre controls the rate of application, therefore avoiding dipping of chemicals from the rollers and any associated wastage.
