Perennial favourites such as the Niab soil pit, Syngenta sprays and sprayers arena, and working demonstrations will be returning, and an improved theatre programme promises to challenge and inspire, with a great mix of blue-sky thinking and practical advice.
There will also be a grain marketing competition and a Dragon’s Den-style business challenge, as well as a focus on farmer-led innovation.
Farming future
Early-bird tickets are priced at £15 and group discounts are available, making it easier for farmers to bring their whole family or staff to the event.
Alli McEntyre, event organiser, explains how British agriculture is facing an exciting, yet uncertain, future.
“We want to equip farmers with the latest knowledge, ideas and technology to help them embrace all the opportunities that will arise in the coming years,” adds Ms McEntyre.
Host farmer Robert Law, who has previously held the event four times, explains how Cereals is the major summer networking event.
“Given the agricultural and political climate, going to events like this is more important than ever before,” he says.
