Farming events returns in June

Fieldays, the southern hemisphere’s largest agricultural event, is set to return to its traditional winter dates from June 14-17 and tickets are on sale now.

This year marks the 55th year for this iconic New Zealand event, bringing town and country together to celebrate and champion innovation, education and globalisation.

Fieldays chief executive Peter Nation said he was thrilled to welcome everyone back to Fieldays in June.

“After the challenges of the past few years and more recently the adverse weather events, we are looking forward to bringing everyone together to reconnect and regroup,” he said.

“From the first Fieldays in 1968 held at Te Rapa Racecourse in Hamilton, there has been a lot of change and growth over the years.”

Visitors to Fieldays 2023 can expect to see over 1000 exhibitors showcasing the latest in agricultural farming equipment, technology, innovation and agri-services. While there are still some programming and exhibitor announcements to come, the must see Fieldays Hubs will once again feature strongly as will the crowd favourites – the tractor pull, and excavator and fencing competitions.

All visitors will again be in to win an Isuzu D-Max ute.

Entries for the coveted Fieldays Innovation Awards are still open and close on Thursday May 4. Like previous years, the entrants will be part of the popular Fieldays Innovations Hub showcasing the best innovators in the sector.

Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased online via the Fieldays website, or at the gate during the event. For more information head to www.fieldays.co.nz.
