The Home Grown cereals Agency today announced that AHDB/HGCA Market Intelligence team will be launching a Pre-Harvest Market Outlook at Cereals 2012 event being held next month and will offer a short round up before each variety tour.

The agency also said its 35th HGCA Planting and Variety Survey will be arriving with farmers this week. The 35^th HGCA Planting and Variety Survey has been posted out to around 7,000 growers across the country.

The Planting Survey, which is supported by Defra and the Welsh National Assembly, will provide an estimate of the area of cereals and oilseed rape planted for the 2012 crop in Great Britain.

The results of the survey, which will be used to develop a regional picture of the varieties farmers are growing, will be available online from mid July, alongside more detailed analysis based on the findings, according to HGCA.
