The Soil Acoustics team is looking forward to attending Cereals at Diddly Squat Farm on 10–11 June, and it’s set to be one of the biggest yet, with over 550 exhibitors and around 25,000 visitors expected to attend. For Soil Acoustics, it’s the perfect stage to showcase a new way of understanding what’s happening beneath our feet.
Each year, the Cereals Event brings together the very best of UK agriculture, from cutting-edge machinery and agronomy insights to forward-thinking technology designed to shape the future of farming. As the UK’s flagship arable event, it attracts tens of thousands of industry professionals, all looking for smarter, more sustainable ways to grow.
Bringing Soil to Life for Farmers at Cereals 2026
At an event where innovation is front and centre, Soil Acoustics offers something genuinely different: the ability to listen to the soil. While traditional soil analysis focuses on physical and chemical properties, our bioacoustics technology, the Soil Acoustic Meter (SAM), reveals biological activity in real time, capturing the sounds of organisms moving, feeding and interacting underground. This opens up a new layer of insight for farmers looking to improve soil health, boost resilience and optimise inputs.
At Cereals, where everything from crop performance to precision farming is under scrutiny, understanding soil biology is becoming increasingly important. With regenerative practices and sustainable farming high on the agenda, tools that provide fast, in-field insight are no longer a ‘nice to have’, they’re essential.
One of the key challenges in soil science is making the invisible visible, or in this case, audible. At the Soil Acoustics stand, visitors can experience how acoustic monitoring works in practice. By using the SAM and assessing the sound of soil, farmers and agronomists can:
- Detect biological activity in different soil types
- Compare management practices in real time
- Gain immediate feedback without lab delays
- Support decisions around cultivation, inputs and regenerative approaches
In a field full of demonstrations, from sprayers to seed drills, Soil Acoustics adds a new dimension: understanding why soil performs the way it does, not just how to manage it.
Beyond the technology, Cereals is also about the conversations around improving the future for arable farmers. The event brings together farmers, agronomists, researchers and industry leaders to tackle the challenges facing modern agriculture, from input costs and soil degradation to climate resilience and productivity.
For Soil Acoustics, it’s an opportunity to:
- Share insights from real-world trials
- Gather feedback from farmers on practical challenges
- Explore collaborations across agronomy, research and technology
- Demonstrate how soil acoustics fits into existing farm systems
These conversations will be vital in helping us to ensure our technology continues to evolve in a way that genuinely supports farmers on the ground.
As agriculture continues to evolve, the focus is shifting towards smarter, data-driven decisions that balance productivity with sustainability. Events like Cereals highlight just how quickly the industry is moving, and how important it is to stay ahead. By introducing new ways to measure and understand soil health, we’re helping farmers make more informed decisions, reduce unnecessary inputs and build more resilient systems. The future of farming isn’t just about what we can see above ground, it’s about understanding the complex, living ecosystem below it.
