SPRAYING FOCUS TO RETURN

Organisers of this year's Cereals say visitors will be able to compare the latest spraying technology which will be demonstrated in the central Syngenta Sprays and Sprayers Arena.

“The Syngenta Sprays and Sprayers Arena is a key highlight for many Cereals attendees and we are excited to showcase the latest in application technology and innovation for 2022, says Scott Cockburn, Syngenta business manager and application lead.

“The arena will also host the awards ceremony for the Farm Sprayer Operator of the Year competition where we will crown the winner from our six finalists. We look forward to seeing everyone and sharing knowledge on practical application tips and techniques.”

The event is well-known for its emphasis on sprayers, says James Dixon, managing director of spray component and parts manufacturer Cleveland Alliances. “It is a mainstay for us - the best one in the UK because of the real sprayer focus which works for us. And attendance is good too.”

Given the tight cost pressure they are under, arable farmers will want to improve efficiency - and there are plenty of developments in spray equipment technology that will enable them to do just that, says Cereals event director Alli McEntyre.

“Farmers have a second-to-none opportunity to see the latest spraying kit from all the major manufacturers in action and compare it to decide what would work best on their farms,” she says.

Sprayer exhibitors this year will include, Househam Sprayers, John Deere, Chandler Fendt and Chafer Sentry amongst others.

The Cereals Event will be held near Duxford, Cambridgeshire on 8-9 June 2022.
