Proud sponsors, Elders, along with event organisers Australian Community Media (ACM), are promising a field day for everyone – whether it’s a gift from the thriving shopping precinct, Lifestyle Lane or a bargain deal for something new on the farm.

Elders State General Manager for Queensland and the Northern Territory, Lisa Hewitt said as Queensland’s largest and most successful annual field day, Elders FarmFest continues to be a cornerstone of the agricultural calendar.
“In 2025, we’re proud to add even more value for attendees. Elders is hosting a range of engaging events and workshops in our iconic big red Elders tent including a next generation breakfast, an education roadshow and workshops on renewable energy, biodiversity, carbon farming, succession planning and financial solutions. We are really looking forward to connecting with our clients, showcasing the latest innovations, and continuing to support the future of primary industries. We look forward to having everyone along to celebrate 50 years of Elders FarmFest and welcome all attendees to the Elders site for a free coffee and a chat with our friendly team of agricultural experts”, Ms Hewitt said.
To navigate your way through everything on offer, a new “Map Your Show” planner will allow visitors to earmark exhibitors, demonstrations, offers and have all the information they need in one place so they can plan ahead of the event, refer to it during the event and use it even after the event to share the information with colleagues, family and friends.
