Visitors to Cereals 2026 will be able to see, compare and experience a wide range of machinery and technology as the Working Demonstrations returns, providing one of the biggest practical, hands-on farm machinery showcases in UK agriculture.
Taking place at Diddly Squat Farm on June 10-11, the variety of Working Demos will bring together equipment for crop establishment, cultivation, spraying, drainage, off-road transport, autonomy, handling and traction. These demonstrations will give farmers, contractors and land managers the chance to see how the new technology performs on farm. The beauty of the working demos at Cereals is that so much machinery can be seen in one day, with experts on hand throughout the demonstrations to answer all your questions.
On top of the ever-popular Syngenta & CropLife Sprays and Sprayers Arena, the working demos span the event site and will cover the full breadth of arable operations.
One of those most looking forward to the working demos is Kaleb Cooper, Kaleb Cooper Contracting who said: “Technology is a massive part of farming now, and Cereals is where you see it all in action – from the biggest kit to the clever little gadgets that make life easier in the field. The working demos are a great opportunity to see how it can work on your farm.
“I can’t wait to welcome everyone to Diddly Squat now. It is a proper working farm, but for a couple of days it is going to be the centre of British agriculture.”
The working demos are designed to give visitors more than a static machinery line-up. Across the two days, farmers will be able to question technical specialists, compare options side by side and see how new systems could support productivity, efficiency, sustainability and profitability on farm.
Drill demos
The Drill Demos are always a key feature and will run across both days, allowing visitors to compare conventional plough-based approaches with no-till systems and other crop establishment technologies. Demonstrators include Agri-linc, Novag, UK Farm Agri.
Agri-linc will showcase the Moore Unidrill, a direct drill designed for professional contractors and used for planting grass, fodder crops, clover, cover crops and stewardship mixes. The 3m arable direct drill features 24 rows, Accord metering, an 850-litre hopper and a Guttler rear packer.
Novag will showcase its T-Force Plus Series on stand and in the demo field. The drill features up to four tanks, up to 500kg coulter pressure, automatic downforce control and the patented T-Slot opener for accurate seed placement, soil contact and minimal disturbance.
UK Farm Agri will demonstrate the Taege DB300E and the wider Taege drill range, which combines zero-tillage direct drilling, digital seed metering, angled tines and galvanised chassis construction. The drills are designed to handle mixed seeds and cereals, with flexibility to vary seed rates across boxes.
Agricultural autonomy
Cereals is always at the forefront of the future of crop production and the latest autonomous agricultural will not only be on display, but will also be in action in the working demos.
AgXeed will again demonstrate the 230hp tracked AgBot, aimed at larger-scale farmers using 6meter+ implements. Visitors will be able to see the autonomous machine working live and speak to users and customers already benefiting from driverless technology.
Techneat will also be demonstrating its new Weed Wizard Agri spot sprayer, an intelligent tractor-mounted system using camera recognition technology for precision applications in carrot, leek, onion and row crops. The 6m hydraulic folding boom is supported by one camera per bed and an in-cab monitor.
Cultivation
Agriweld will return with live demonstrations of cultivation machinery including the 6m Agri Press and the Multi-Till 3M. The demonstrations will show how the machines support seedbed preparation, consolidation, residue handling and crop establishment across varied soil conditions.
Off-road
A major talking point for this year’s line-up will be the Isuzu 4x4 Off-Road Driving Experience, where visitors will be able to get behind the eagerly-anticipated new all-electric D-MAX EV.
The Isuzu 4x4 Off-Road Driving Experience will give visitors the chance to test the latest Isuzu D-Max vehicles on a purpose-built off-road track. This year will see the debut of the new 2.2 diesel version of the D-Max, which is released in July, alongside the new D-Max EV, which combines work-ready toughness with zero-emission performance, full-time 4WD and 3.5-tonne towing capacity.
Experts will be on hand to answer questions about the pick-up range and its suitability for professional users operating across rural and demanding terrain.
Alan Able, Managing Director at Isuzu UK, said: “Farming, agriculture and rural living are in the core DNA of the Isuzu brand, and we are proud to be part of Cereals 2026, The Arable Event at the now infamous Diddly Squat Farm. Isuzu UK are the Pick-up Professionals, and
the Isuzu Off-Road Driving Experience, available to those visiting the show, is a fantastic way to demonstrate the Isuzu D-Max and its capabilities in its natural environment.”
“2026 sees the introduction of the all-electric Isuzu D-Max EV, with 4WD, over 1-ton payload and 3.5-ton towing capacity. Guests can also put the new battery electric version through its paces as part of the towing experience. The new fully capable D-Max EV gives buyers a battery electric alternative for the first time, for those looking for a zero tailpipe-emission vehicle without compromising on vital attributes important for the agricultural sector.”
Polaris are also coming to Cereals for the first time to showcase the Ranger line-up on a dedicated demo course, giving farmers the chance to experience off-road handling and instant torque across varied terrain. The all-new Polaris Ranger 500 will take centre stage, alongside models including the Diesel, XP1000 and all-electric Kinetic.
NAAC Land Drainage Hub and Demo
The NAAC Land Drainage Hub returns with expert advice on drainage, productivity, trafficability, soil structure, runoff, nutrient loss and flood mitigation. New for 2026, the NAAC will run land drainage demonstrations near the northern entrances at 8.30am and 10am on both mornings, showing how drainage pipe is professionally installed using modern mapping technology.
Other equipment
New for 2026, Manitou will demonstrate versatile handling equipment including the MLT841 with Smart Weighing System, the 2300VT mid-frame tracked loader and the electric MLT625e. The demo will highlight the benefits of electric handling machinery, tracked loader performance and connected weighing data.
Arcusin UK returns to Cereals to demonstrate bale chaser equipment, supported by technical and sales staff on site. The company will use the event to show its approach to service, reliability, spare parts and machine support for UK customers.
Outland Tracks will bring an industry-first to Cereals 2026, demonstrating a Soucy track conversion fitted to a mid-horsepower tractor. The system is designed to increase footprint and ground contact for improved traction, while allowing operators to switch between tracks and tyres depending on the season or application.
