Cereals, the technical event for the arable industry, which was due to take place 10-11 June 2020 at Chrishall Grange, Duxford, Cambridgeshire, has this week been cancelled for this year due to the Covid-19 outbreak.

Organisers say they have rearranged the show for 10-11 June 2021. A statement posted on their website said of the postponement, "We are extremely disappointed because our exhibitors, host farmer and team members have done a great deal in terms of the preplanning of Cereals."

However, for this year, organisers have announced that they have decided to take the show online. 

The statement contined, "We are still determined to do our utmost to support the industry, so will be taking the event online on 10-11 June 2020 instead. We will endeavour to deliver working demonstration videos, seminar sessions and expert advice so that visitors and exhibitors can get as much as possible from the event and gain CPD points as normal. We will also do our best to help facilitate information exchange between exhibitors and visitors in a digital environment. We hope that you will support us in this new initiative.

"We are certainly looking forward to brighter days. In the meantime, check in frequently with friends and family, enjoy the better weather, and stay safe.

"Thank you for your patience and ongoing support."
