Cereals 2026 Round Up!
The Mardon team has just got back from Diddly Squat Farm and despite the weather, Cereals 2026 was one of the best shows we have been part of. It was great to be right in the middle of it all at stand 648.
Day one was incredibly busy with a lot of business, a lot of interest, and the RamPack range well and truly taking centre stage. It was brilliant to see so many familiar faces and existing customers coming by, including James Peck from P.X. Farms, and just as good to meet so many new ones. Day two carried that momentum all the way through to the end of the show and we could not have asked for a better couple of days.
The Machines on Show
We had three machines from the RamPack range on display across the two days, covering everything from smaller farm setups through to large-scale arable operations. Here is a quick recap of each machine and what it offers:
- RamPack 75 Baler: compact and easy to use, ideal for smaller farms and tighter spaces
- RamPack 550 HD Baler: heavy-duty and built for silage wrap, rigid containers and tougher agricultural plastics
- RamPack HX600 50T Semi-Automatic Baler: the high-capacity option for larger arable operations with serious volumes to manage
It was great to have the opportunity to showcase the range and see so many people get up close with the machines in person.
A special thank you to Wrights Agriculture for providing their bales for the stand, they will be featuring them in their upcoming newsletter too, so keep an eye out for that.
The Funky Farmer Paid Us a Visit
One of the highlights of the show was Richard Cornock from The Funky Farmer coming over to meet the team. A big thank you to Richard for his time, it was great to have him on the stand.
He has put together a cracking YouTube video from the show, featuring us (at 15:44) talking about the RamPack range and how Mardon can help farms save money through baled materials, alongside plenty more from Cereals 2026.

In the Press
We also had some brilliant coverage from Farmers Guide in the build-up to the show. They published two features on Mardon, covering the equipment of what the machines can do and the kind of savings farmers are seeing in the real world.

We were also featured in a promo video on the Farmers Guide socials, which brought some fantastic extra reach going into Cereals. Watch that here.
Behind the Scenes
The stand looked great across both days. Even with the weather not on our side, that did not stop anyone coming to see the show and the machines. A big thank you to Simon Jones LBIPP of Pro Vision Photography Ltd for the brilliant stand photos, and keep an eye out for the promo film put together by Get Video Marketing, more to come on that soon.

None of it would have been possible without everyone who helped make the stand what it was. Huge thanks to the whole team!
