Fieldays is a showcase of innovation

Forget number eight wire technology. These days farming is more high-tech and the Mystery Creek Fieldays showcase rural sector innovation, products and services at the biggest agricultural trade show in the Southern Hemisphere.

Fieldays runs June 11-14, with more than 1000 exhibitors and an expected visitor count of at least 115,000.

The premier feature is e-farming@fieldays - A Platform for Success, but not everything is so serious. Popular events such as the Ag Art Wear Competition continue, and this year the Rural Bachelor of the Year will be chosen after showing off such skills as driving farm bikes, chainsawing, delivering pick-up lines, riding, reading poetry, cooking and more.
