Mar, 18 2026This Skills Webinar from Lancrop Laboratories provides an overview of smart nutrition and soil analysis practices, fundamentals of soil chemistry and nutrient management, the role of soil organic matter and biology in nutrient cycling, Lancrop's analysis of organic inputs and crop tissues and much more. Insights from Lancrop's large dataset provides unique insight into the state of UK soils across arable and grassland soils, and fundamentally where we need to spend time and effort on nutrition.

Feb, 25 2026The CFA Survey 2025 provides a comprehensive analysis of Contract Farming Agreements across the UK, drawing on data from over 100 farms. The report explores national trends in costs, returns, environmental scheme participation, and farm-level decision‑making, revealing tightening margins, increasing contractor charges and a significant shift toward land being taken out of production. With CFAs growing in complexity and the future of environmental schemes uncertain, the 2025–26 outlook highlights the need for carefully structured agreements and data‑driven planning.

Jan, 16 2026In 2025, Ceres Research joined Timac AGRO UK at their second annual Farming Innovation and Technology Showcase (FITS)—a three-location event series spotlighting the latest in crop nutrition, biostimulants, and sustainable agronomy. Held at Billups Siding Farm in Cambridgeshire, the FITS East event focused on arable systems and featured a range of biostimulant demonstrations. Ceres Research led the technical support for the trials, ensuring rigorous, unbiased data collection and interpretation. Our involvement reflects our mission to bridge the gap between scientific research and practical, on-farm application. Watch back the results webinar now.
