Cereals is one of the biggest occasions in the arable farming calendar and this year was certainly no exception as the event headed west to Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat 51AVÊÓÆµjust outside Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire.

More than 20,000 people visited the two-day event which featured a packed seminar programme, over 600 stands, not to mention the opportunity to hear the Britain's Got Talent winning Hawkstone Farmers Choir and do a spot of celebrity spotting.

The FG team was of course on hand to catch-up on the news and views which included the newly-released Sustainable Farming Incentive budget, the crisis in the Middle East and what it means for growers. There was also lots to talk about on the latest crop trials, seed breeding initiatives and on-farm innovation.
