Make a Date With FarmFest 2022
26/10/21
Queensland’s biggest primary industry business event, the FarmFest field days, will return next year to be staged over three days from June 7 to 9.
ACM Rural Events, the organisers of Elders FarmFest, has been taking a steady stream of enquiry since the conclusion of this year’s successful sales event.
General manager Kate Nugent said despite the current COVID conditions, the overall outlook in Australian agriculture was one of high optimism.
The feedback received from many agri-manufacturers and service providers across Queensland and other states has positioned next year’s Elders FarmFest in a very positive light.
Ms Nugent said they were anticipating strong interest as the industry navigates the safe return of major events.
“I am certain we will see an even stronger showing of interest and support from farmers and people on the land, on the back of a record breaking visitation this year,” she said.
Elders FarmFest is located on its own dedicated site in Kingsthorpe, just 20 kilometres west of Toowoomba, in the heart of the Darling Downs, one of Australia’s richest agricultural regions.
This special event is designed to offer display, promotional and sales opportunities to all agribusinesses, from big farm machinery, tractors, tillage and irrigation equipment to pumps, power tools and everything in between.
“More than ever, FarmFest is recognised as playing an important role in the Australian agricultural industry by offering enormous opportunities to showcase new products and services, demonstrate machinery, highlight new technology, innovation and information.
FarmFest was purchased in 2004 by ACM Rural Events, a division of Australian Community Media, the largest and leading independent regional and rural publisher in Australia. ACM Rural Events organise and promote several field days in Australia - including Australia’s largest, the AgQuip Field Days in Gunnedah, NSW.
Next year Elders FarmFest will be highlighting modern innovation in the agribusiness industry with the event featuring the Agri-Tech Expo, as well as the Education Expo and seminars with a spotlight on ground breaking and exciting new farming practices to drive farming efficiency, productivity and profitability.
FarmFest is among one of the largest outdoor agricultural industry events, gathering over 60,000 farming families and consumers.
“The key to the event is to ensure the experience always puts the customer front and centre – to enable the exhibitor’s product and service to resonate with them at a deeper and more impactful level than any other marketing platform,” Ms Nugent said.
FarmFest has been a significant force in field days for the past 47 years. It is an incomparable agricultural hybrid event in Queensland, and the 2022 event will be no exception.
