A field day for everyone

Farmers of all types flocked to this year’s Elders FarmFest situated in Kingsthorpe in the heart of the Darling Downs on a purpose-built site of more than 64 acres.

There were three brisk mornings, but the days ended up with sunshine and great crowds. Over 1000 exhibitors and 2000 companies were represented at this year’s FarmFest and they attracted over 50,000 visitors.

There was so much to see with a full day just about not enough to get through the exhibits which ranged from cattle, machinery of all types, motor vehicles, Hi Tech drones, irrigation and supplies, handyman and tradies tools, Lifestyle products and the list goes on. The Isuzu Iron Summit was a crowd pleaser as it gave the visitors the opportunity to experience the power of the D-Max ute and Mu-X 4-wheel drive.

Make sure you don’t miss Queensland’s largest and most successful annual field day as it’s already gearing up for a big year with FarmFest celebrating their 50th anniversary.
