Cereals

As farmers move away from key crops, those who are tempted to try something new need to understand what impact a stray admix of an allergen could have.

The Cereals Event is known for being a stage for launches and debuts, and this year will be no different. Visitors to this year’s show will once again be treated to a myriad of new technology. 

Nationwide Precast Concrete will be one of the exhibitors at Cereals 2024. The company’s representatives will be showcasing a range of its concrete products.

Team Sprayers will showcase a selection of trailed and mounted agricultural sprayer models at Cereals 2024.

V-Tuf will showcase its tufJET IBC cleaner available in petrol, diesel and hydraulic powered options at this year’s Cereals. It’s a pressure washer mounted on a 1,000-litre tank so you can literally clean anywhere, the company says.

Over 600 individual crop plots from 25 exhibitors will give Cereals visitors access to the very latest in crop breeding, protection, nutrition, and science.

Offering reduced input costs, flexibility, adaptability and good returns, the UK hybrid rye area could double in size within the next few years, experts predict.

An unusually wet spring meant there was very little spring barley in the ground by mid-April, when a press briefing saw experts share top tips on maximising the crop – as well as a new barley resource for growers and agronomists. Sarah Kidby reports.

Clarkson’s Farm fans will have seen Andy Cato, of Groove Armada fame, on a recent episode of the hit show, encouraging Jeremy Clarkson to drill a field blending both wheat and beans. Kaleb Cooper certainly took some convincing, but unlike some of Jeremy’s own experiments, this is one which has some real science and thought behind it.

New and promising cereal varieties from Senova will sit alongside some existing favourites at this year’s Cereals event.

MJP Supplies, the UK distributor of Algifol, said that enquiry levels at last year’s Cereals 2023 show and subsequent sales of the seaweed-based biostimulant encouraged it to book again for this year’s event. 

The Fentech Agri drill range has grown significantly in 2023/2024 and the company is keen to show the new options to customers at this year’s Cereals event. The major developments come mainly in the form of ‘options’.
