Cereals News

The Cereals Event has moved to 30th June – 1st July to accommodate the maximum number of visitors and exhibitors following the Government’s announcement of its lockdown exit strategy.

NFU welcomes news that eco-friendly fuel will be available by this autumn, providing a boost to UK wheat and sugar sectors, whilst helping to deliver the government’s green agenda.

A closer look at Perry of Oakley Ltd’s product range, which promises to fit all capacities and budgets.

Thirty per cent of yearly food waste on UK farms is cereals, with a value of £26m for wheat alone, according to data collected by the charity WRAP (Waste & Resources Action Programme). Agri-tech innovator Martin Lishman Ltd believes that there is huge potential to reduce the amount of waste on farm simply by promoting best storage practice.

Farmers invest large amounts of capital, time and effort into producing and harvesting their crop. The storage of the grain post-harvest is a crucial part of that dedicated process.

Cereals 2021 is offering free early bird tickets for visitors who register before the end of March, enabling people to finally look forward to a physical event.

With over 70 years’ experience in manufacturing bulk materials handling, drying and storage equipment, Perry of Oakley Ltd provides high quality machinery to a wide variety of industries, including farms, commercial grain stores, waste and aggregate industries, feed and pet food, pharmaceutical and biomass industries, and many others.

Pest control expert and Dealey managing director Martin Cobbald says when it comes to insect pests, temperature is key.

Grazing livestock on winter cereals could help aid soil biology, allow for earlier drilling dates, control pests and diseases and influence yield potential, according to recent results from a trial carried out on a mixed farming enterprise in Angus.

An extensive range of flat bottom & hopper bottom silos are available from Perry of Oakley & SiloMasters partnership.

Planning a new crop store or a refit, no matter how big or small, can be a daunting task – especially with the multitude of options available to farmers today.

Cereals 2021 is on target to open its doors to physical visitors on 9th-10th June this year, following a series of meetings with farmers, exhibitors and health and safety advisers.
