growers with all they need to know about monitoring and managing soils.
Machinery choice is also an area of focus for many growers,
|
with constant innovation meaning there are more options than ever before. Whether you’ re looking for improved precision kit, want to compare the latest tractors or see |
some of the newest sprayers in action, there’ s plenty on offer at this year’ s event.
Among the manufacturers returning to this year’ s event is New Holland Agriculture which will be showcasing its new T6 DCT tractor. Other firms returning this year include Amber Valley Developments, Camgrain, Caulkett, Cheffins, Ecosure, Mark Weatherhead, P. Tuckwell, Prodata Weather Systems, Rand Brothers, Samco, Tees Law, Terrington Machinery, UK Power Networks, and WMEC.
For those wanting a sneak peak at the future, the event will also host the only live demonstration of Harper Adams’ Hands Free Hectare outside of the university, which is likely to draw a lot of interest from visitors.
AHDB will be focusing on preparing businesses for the changes that lie ahead, rather than crop plots this year. But there will still be a huge number of arable plots on site, profiling everything from market-leading varieties to up-and-coming genetics. In addition, growers can compare untreated and treated trial plots, helping them to identify the most resistant options. As well as this, growers will be able to seek expert advice from some of the UK’ s leading crop protection firms who will be demonstrating the latest chemistry on the plots.
NIAB’ s crop plots will showcase 40 winter wheat and 27 winter oilseed rape varieties- either already established on the AHDB 2018 / 19 Recommended List or candidates – with more

demonstration plots this year than ever before. The untreated plots will give visitors a head start in their variety selection for next season, with independent specialists on hand to point growers in the right direction.
A number of specialist and alternative cropping options will be covered by leading firms including Premium Crops and Soya UK.
In the day-to-day running of any farm, it’ s easy to overlook the importance of having a clear business structure in place. However, with uncertainty over trade deals in the near future, it’ s essential that arable businesses have plans in place to ensure they remain profitable after Brexit. On hand at this year’ s event will be some of the most knowledgeable firms in the industry, including Andersons Farm Business Consultants and AHDB, offering advice and practical tips on how to get your business ready for 2020.
Another significant change to this year’ s event is a simplified online ticket purchasing system for advance tickets, and improvements to the on-site box office, based on visitor feedback – meaning it’ s now easier than ever to attend.“ Over 20,000 farmers, agronomists and industry experts visit Cereals each year,” adds Mr Day.“ With this year’ s changes, it really is the place to discover the latest arable innovations, hear from key opinion leaders and find the best arable products and services to help businesses thrive.”
