Farmers looking to buy new kit often want to see it in action before making such an important investment. And visitors to this year's Cereals Event will have the chance to see a wide range of working demonstrations across both days, helping them to choose the most appropriate machinery for their needs.

"This year's working demonstrations are shaping up to be some of the best we've ever had," says event director, Alli McEntyre. "We've got an impressive range of machinery covering all specifications, applications and farm sizes - so whether you're running a small mixed farm or a large-scale arable enterprise, there's something for everyone."

So, what can visitors expect to see at the show on 11-12 June? On top of the popular Syngenta Sprays and Sprayers Arena live demos, there are several other demonstrations covering the breadth of arable operations.

Cultivation

Agriweld returns to Cereals 2025 with a focus on practical, efficient cultivation. As farmers face increasing pressure to balance performance with sustainability, it will showcase two machines: The Duo Disc and the Multi-Till 5T. Both are designed to support reduced tillage and one-pass systems, making them ideal for today's cost-conscious, sustainability-driven farming operations.

"We understand the challenges the industry is currently facing, and with our low disturbance cultivators, we hope to provide a solution with the versatility they offer," says Brett Johnson from Agriweld. "Our minimum disturbance machinery promotes soil health and boosts yields, and our customers are already seeing the benefits of using these innovations to get more from their land."

The Duo Disc is designed to offer exceptional performance in a variety of conditions, delivering precise soil cultivation with minimal disruption to the soil structure. Its compact design and robust build make it perfect for farmers looking for a reliable, efficient tool that enhances soil health while maintaining productivity.

The Multi-Till 5T offers unparalleled versatility for farmers seeking a machine that can handle multiple tasks in a single pass. It offers five combinations in one machine – discs only, legs only, discs and legs together, discs and agri-packer together, or all options combined. Combining the best of both worlds - efficient tillage and minimal disturbance, the Multi-Till 5T helps farmers reduce fuel costs and improve soil structure, all while boosting crop yields.

Drills

Returning for the fourth year at Cereals is UK Farm Agri, demonstrating the Taege DB300E for the first time. "The Taege DB300E was launched to the UK market in November, so this is its first appearance at Cereals," says Neil Ford, Director at UK Farm Agri. "We're excited to showcase its capabilities in a working environment."

The DB300E – which is capable of handling mixed seeds and rates with its double box direct drill - also qualifies for the Farming Equipment and Technology Fund (FETF), making it an accessible choice for farmers looking to invest in high-quality, cost-effective equipment. "It offers an affordable drilling solution for small to medium farmers," explains Mr Ford.

Autonomous farming

As modern farming continues to evolve, AgXeed is helping lead the way in autonomous innovation, bringing its cutting-edge robotic systems to this year's Cereals Event. Its products have been designed to reduce the environmental footprint that comes with traditional farming.

AgXeed will be demonstrating three of its advanced Agbots: The 5.115T2, 2.055W4 and 2.055W3, each designed for autonomous fieldwork across a range of tasks including seeding, spraying, and mowing. By taking on routine and time-consuming tasks, these robots free up valuable time for farmers, allowing them to focus on strategic decision-making and long-term planning.

In addition, Crop Angel will have daily drone demonstrations in the Sprays and Sprayers Arena, featuring the Agras T50. This versatile drone can spread seeds and granules, or swap to the spray tank to allow liquid fertiliser and herbicides or pesticides to be applied. The T50 has CDA nozzles which allow the droplet size be changed to best suit spray conditions, and will automatically fly back to its exact take-off point for landing.

Telehandlers

Merlo will be bringing power and precision to the field with live demonstrations of its TF38.10TT. Built for versatility and strength, this telehandler is designed to handle the toughest agricultural tasks with ease.

"We picked the TF38.10TT because it's a cracking machine for an arable-focused event like Cereals," says Helen Selkin, marketing manager at Merlo. "It's got the reach and capacity to make light work of stacking straw - whether you're building a big outside stack or tucking bales away in a shed.

"What sets the TF38.10TT apart is its hydraulic frame levelling and boom side-shift, allowing operators to position loads with precision without needing to reposition the machine. This saves valuable time, reduces tyre wear, and improves efficiency - particularly useful in tight barns or uneven yards."

Isuzu off road experience

The adrenaline-pumping Isuzu Off-Road Adventure is back! Inviting guests to take the wheel of a powerful new vehicle and tackle the purpose-built off-road course, with an instructor alongside, drivers will navigate challenging terrain, try out different driving speeds, and make use of advanced features.

To take part in the Isuzu Driving Course, visitors simply need to present a valid driving license on the day.
