The Final Push for Cereals 2026, and Rain at Last After Nine Weeks Dry

With Cereals 2026 just days away, it is all hands on deck to get the Trailer of Dreams onto site and show ready. In this episode we lay a woodchip path to keep the mud at bay, load up the merchandise, and get the beer, the gin and the branded barrels ready for the stand. After nine weeks of dry weather we also finally get the rain we have been praying for, and we look at what almost 100mm could mean for the crops and for harvest, with the barley already changing colour.Back at base, work continues on the new fertiliser store, where we walk through the bund and containment system built to catch any spill, and tell the cautionary tale of a leak that took years to put right. We also host a group of Nuffield Global Focus scholars from around the world, hear the topics they are researching, and welcome a busy day of international visitors before everyone heads to the show. Elsewhere there is more concrete around the yard, a strong run of output from the sprayers, seed planning for next season, and a few birthday surprises along the way.From show preparation to honest talk about weather, harvest and the realities of running a modern farm, this is another look behind the scenes of a modern farming business.For those interested in our new merchandise: https://pxfarms.myshopify.com/Chapters:0:00 Intro0:27 Rain at last after nine weeks dry1:33 A woodchip path for the Trailer of Dreams2:48 Peckys Gin, Aussie visitors and hair gummies4:33 Yard concrete and the cost revealed6:07 Barrels, lids and beer for the stand8:49 Farm walk: hedges, pigeons and mustard10:25 The "half a job" Arthur joke12:01 Building the new fertiliser store13:47 A cautionary fertiliser spill story15:00 The spill containment system explained21:12 A strong run of sprayer output23:29 Seed planning and the Grain Hospital25:33 Birthday gifts and turning 5027:48 Meet the Nuffield Global Focus scholars31:17 A busy day, then off to CerealsP.X.
