Big bargains, big machines and one of the biggest names in footy will kick off celebrations at Elders FarmFest, as this Tuesday marks the start of 50 years of Queensland’s favourite field day.
To ensure you don’t miss out on free giveaways, free financial advice and sweet treats for the kids, for the first time visitors can download the Map Your Show app by scanning the QR code below for both iOS and Android users.
The app offers a range of user-friendly features that allow everyone to personalise and maximise their time at Elders FarmFest, and who knows where the GPS-enabled map may lead you! Maybe to meet one of the legends of Queensland NRL, with Maroons icon Shane Webcke, who not only played 254 games for the Brisbane Broncos and represented Australia internationally, but is also a loyal visitor to Elders FarmFest and a local farmer. Webcke will be a special guest at the AgSmart Connect pavilion ASO | 12-13 for AgTrader, FarmBuy and Farmers’ Finance where mums and dads can get advice on property and finance, deals on new gear and a chance to spin the lucky prize wheel to win something for the kids.
“I really enjoy when FarmFest rolls around every year because for people working in agriculture, it brings all the best ideas and technologies to one place, so it’s a great place to learn and to catch up with like minded people. But it’s true, footy is like farming, you get back what you put into it and FarmFest is the perfect place to pick up some tips from other farming experts,” Webcke said.
Using the Map Your Show app, you can snap a pic with Shane and store it in a personal folder along with brochures, flyers, and other materials from exhibitors, while the custom Itinerary Builder enables visitors to earmark the sites and demonstrations they’re interested in, effectively creating a personalised map and agenda for the day.

“The long-running success of FarmFest is a symbol of the resilience and strength of the people who make Queensland’s farming community champions of Australian agriculture. It’s less about state vs state and more about mates supporting mates, and that’s no more evident than here on the Darling Downs,” Webcke said.
