    Discover ways to boost efficiency at this year’s Cereals Event

    Farmers looking for ways to improve efficiencies will have access to multiple solutions at this year’s Cereals Event.

    Smaller weather windows and ongoing labour challenges mean arable farmers need to find ways to work smarter by using technology and data to improve efficiency.

    That could mean using larger kit to reduce the number of passes, investing in technology to improve accuracy or finding ways to analyse and use data more effectively.

    This solutions-led approach is reflected in the range of innovative technologies and services that exhibitors will showcase, all aimed at supporting farm businesses in the future.

    AHDB

    The AHDB stand offers a full day of expert-led sessions to help arable farmers make more informed, sustainable decisions. Topics include profitable planting based on early market data, using digital tools to cut pesticide use and boost fungicide performance, and practical advice on seed rates and variety selection.

    Sessions also cover cover crops, carbon strategies using farmer insights and AHDB data, financial benchmarking with tools like Farmbench, and improved nutrient planning with RB209 updates.

    A shortage of data is not the issue,” said Henny Lowth, AHDB cereals and oilseeds senior knowledge transfer manager. “The challenge is developing ways to make sense of it to empower farmers and improve decision-making.”

    Mario Gaspardo

    Maschio Gaspardo UK is launching two new machines in the UK, including the world’s largest power harrow and a next-generation combination drill.

    The 10m Jumbo X folding power harrow offers a 9–10m adjustable width, boosting productivity by at least 25% and improving tractor power use while lowering fixed costs per hectare.

    “Increasingly unpredictable weather makes tillage a complex activity to plan and manage. Having a 10m machine allows large-scale operators to work more efficiently in tighter weather windows,” said Mike Bywater, sales and marketing manager, UK. The 10m machine is fully Isobus-equipped.

    The 3m Alitalia combination drill is also built for large-scale efficiency, featuring a 2,000-litre twin hopper to cut refilling time. It offers precision seeding with twin metering units and half-width section control.

    Fendt

    Fendt’s updated Rogator Gen 2 sprayer boosts accuracy and cuts downtime with improved Optinozzle technology that adjusts nozzles to speed, reducing drift and allowing faster, more flexible spraying.

    The ContiRinse system saves up to 80% on cleaning time by starting the rinse cycle during application.

    “The combination of technology will enable operators to spray faster, more of the time,” said marketing manager Ed Dennett.

    “This will make better use of weather windows, enabling operators to spray in higher winds, helping to increase forward speed to cover the ground faster, and reducing downtime, with faster cleaning and set-up.”

    Stocks Ag

    Stocks Ag has upgraded its Ag Turbo Jet with a hydraulic fan to meet the demand for working at wider widths and deliver operational efficiencies.

    The new Turbo Jet 10 Hydraulic facilitates higher application rates at working widths from 10m to 15m. It can be integrated with different host machines, allowing two tasks to be carried out at once with high accuracy, explained Tim Farrow, technical director at Stocks Ag.

    “This could include putting grass seed through a 12m harrow or applying Avadex granules behind a drill, for example. You’re doing multiple jobs with one operator and one pass up the field, at a wider working width, which ultimately aids efficiency,” he said.

    The Turbo Jet 10 Hydraulic can also be run at faster forward speeds and set up to apply across the full width, in bands or rows as required.

    Tickets are still available for Cereals. Use the discount code FC50 at checkout for 50% off.
