A distant showground An elevated view from the temporary pedestrian bridge towards the 2014 Cereals Show site. Cereals 2014, this is an agricultural event for the arable farmer. It's a 2 day show that is at least a year ahead in its planning as trial plots of cereals, pulses, oilseeds and novel crops have to be planted in their growing season to be at peak display for a mid June show. The event alternates between Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire and requires good road infrastructure as 20,000 to 30,000 visitors can be expected on the first day. Anything and everything connected to arable farming will be on display from agricultural education, technical and crop science companies, machinery manufacturers and service and support companies and institutions.
