Cereals, the leading agricultural technology show in the UK, will show farmers how to Brexit-proof their business at this years event.

The team of experts assembled will focus on concerns over trade deals and answer questions over available chemical treatment, and cover an array of other topics.

Organisers believe that knowing how to manage change, while being prepared for both the best and worst case scenarios, is important.

To that end they will be helping farmers get to the core of the issue by introducing a 'Brexit-proof you Business' knowledge trail at this years event, held on June 14 - 15.

Jon Day, event organiser, said: "We’re proud of the fact there’s so much to do at Cereals, but visitors often say it’s hard to see everything they want to in just one day.

“This year we’ve introduced Knowledge Trails, to flag up exhibitors relating to a specific theme and show them on a map allowing visitors to make the most of their Cereals experience.”

Lloyds Bank representatives will be on hand to offer advice to farmers on how to prepare for what is ahead.

Ben Makowiecki, from the firm, said: "Our number one tip is don’t put your head in the sand; think now how Brexit might affect your business.

“Particularly look at aspects like commodity prices, subsidy payments, labour and finance costs.

“We advise to really think about existing finances: What happens if the base rate increases? It’s also worth considering what debt farmers may need to expand or change their business post-2020.”

The Arable Conference, in association with De Lacy Executive, will play host to two Brexit themed debates. Starting proceedings on the June 14 is a panel session on ‘Brexit, what does the future hold?’, and speakers are set to include the Secretary of State and NFU president Meurig Raymond as well as representatives from the Agricultural Industries Confederation and Agricultural Engineers Association.

Wednesday will also see a practical session at the Arable Conference, looking at how evidence-based production could play a critical role as UK farming builds for a more sustainable future.

AHDB will be hosting a series of debates to explore the threats and opportunities facing the arable sector, among these will be a ‘Are you ready for 2020?’ discussion.

Headed up by AHDB lead analyst Jack Watts, who will look at some key resilience-building steps that businesses can take ahead of the UK leaving the EU.

The debate will feature alongside a ‘Brexit bucket list’ exhibit to raise awareness of key questions to be considered by farming businesses ahead of Brexit.
