FarmFest Media Release

Big on Demonstrations at FarmFest

05/05/22

With more than 2000 company products and services represented at Elders FarmFest 2022 – Queensland’s premier primary industry field days – the event is big on new information, new products and new services to be showcased during the in-person event.

“It’s an expectation,” said Kate Nugent, Group Manager of ACM Rural Events, field day organisers, “for farmers to be able to see what’s new and what’s the latest as they work to meet the challenges facing today’s rural sector.”

We all know seeing a product on display is great, as you can get up close to examine every nut, bolt and feature but the opportunity to see it demonstrated is an important element in stimulating a sale between buyer and seller.  The Elders FarmFest field day site will be bursting with an abundance of live action demonstrations.

There will be dedicated demonstration areas featuring four wheel drive vehicles, SXS safety training lessons, motor bike skill displays and the farm machinery and drone demonstration area.  This year has seen increased particular interest in drone technology, resulting in FarmFest creating a Drone Zone area where you can see a range of drones that serve many purposes.  

You’ll hear the FarmFest Event Program announced on FarmFest Radio FM 94.5 at regular intervals throughout the day or the FarmFest app to provide program days, times and location.

You can experience the Catepillar Global Operator Challenge, carbon farming presentations, saw mill demonstrations, livestock led steer and heifer competitions, farm machinery, fencing, drones, tool demonstrations, working dog demonstrations and much more.
