The event will showcase the latest in primary industries’ agriculture and rural innovations, alongside lifestyle products and family entertainment — including a kids’ zone and helicopter rides.
Central Districts Field Days event manager Jonathan Paulsaid it was the “must-do agri event for the industry and Manawatū alike”.
Paul said more than 25,000 people flocked to Manfeild across the three days last year, which generated $40 million in sales and spending.
“[It also] provided an invaluable opportunity to have a yarn off the farm.
“Attendees tell us they truly appreciate the local feel — they get to talk to their local dealers with the security that they know the region as much as their products.”
Central Districts Field Days sprawls across more than 33 hectares at Manfeild, boasting more than 500 exhibitors with cutting-edge machinery and equipment, the latest developments in rural innovation and lifestyle trends with regional food, local brews and entertainment.
Attendees can also watch the iconic CCNZ CablePrice National Excavator Operator Competition, and this year Central Districts Field Days will also be home to the Southern North Island Wood Council Golden Loader Championships.
