Most of us have suffered either machine, stack or field fires and understand how bad these are in a relatively small scale. Thoughts are with all across Europe who battle 🔥on much wider fronts.
N'oublions pas de saluer nos agriculteurs, qui eux aussi jouent un rôle hyper important en soutien des pompiers.
Merci à eux d’être présents et d'apporter une aide logistique aux sapeurs-pompiers.
Unis, on est incontestablement plus fort.

⚠️ Thomas Robinson was just 22 when he slipped into the rollers of a potato harvester after removing a safety guard to clear a blockage.
He spent nearly two hours trapped in the machine, underwent five operations and even signed paperwork to have his leg amputated. Eighteen years later, he still lives with the physical and mental scars.
His message this Farm Safety Week is simple: never cut corners.
🗣️ "If that safety guard was down... I could have saved the pain and suffering I went through."

WHERE TO BEGIN?! 😍
Cereals 2026 has been everything and more! We’ve faced every kind of weather condition, from glorious sunshine to hail and thunder. We’ve towed exhibitors on and exhibitors off. And we’ve even managed to stop goats from eating the crop plots (all thanks to @Nofence_AS).
Visitors, exhibitors, contractors, and service providers - we have you all to thank. You make Cereals exactly what it should be: a place for farmers to come together, connect, engage, share knowledge and see the industry’s latest innovations.
Exhibitors, thank you all for powering through this intense build-up and breakdown. Thank you to the teams who have gone above and beyond with all their extra help, including @_FLGB, Kaleb Cooper Contracting Ltd and @CeresMachinery.
And a final thank you to our host farmer @JeremyClarkson, Charlie Ireland of @ceresrural for his support and expertise and the rest of the team at Diddly Squat Farm.
We have had 25,000 visitors attend this year - a record-breaking number. To see so many people through the gates has been wonderful and has cemented the fact that Cereals remains the key event in the arable farming calendar!
Speaking of which, make sure 9 and 10 June 2027 are in your diary. Cereals will be back!
