The Cereal Yield Enhancement Network (YEN) was established in 2012, and is the longest-running YEN.
By joining the Cereal YEN, you will be able to benchmark your crops performance against other members, attend workshops with experienced farmers, agronomists and scientists, and be eligible for the YEN Awards at our annual conference.
All members will be provided with a comprehensive report, detailing how their crop performed and where improvements could be made.

Sponsorship
Corporate Sponsors support the network to maintain its core activities. Their vital role is recognised in all YEN publicity, media items, conference presentations, and on this website.
