The countdown is on as the final line up of events for the weekend is announced! Tom White, Manager of the Field Days, said: “This year, we have an exciting mix of farming equipment and agricultural exhibitors, along with family favourites like the Hawkesbury Working Sheep Dogs and Noah’s Racing Pigs. We have a great mix of old and new technology, with the Yass Antique Machinery Club showcasing their historic farming equipment, and over 300 exhibitors presenting many of the latest Ag Tech products. It’s a fantastic way to explore the past, present, and future of agriculture.”  New for 2024, the Telstra Tech Alley will highlight the impact of technology on rural communities and showcase how cutting-edge innovations are revolutionising farming practices.   The Komatsu Demonstration Area is now bigger and better, featuring hands-on experiences with the latest Intelligent Machine Control and GPS technology. Visitors can even try the excavator simulator and test these advanced machines before making a purchase.  Kids will have a blast in the Hutcheon & Pearce Fun Zone, where they can drive a John Deere pedal tractor, while adults can test their golf skills with the ‘Big Putts Challenge’—a thrilling twist on traditional golf using a compact excavator to putt a giant ball. It’s a great way to entertain the family while checking out the latest farm machinery.  What else is on?  There’s plenty of extra excitement beyond the main attractions. Visitors can enjoy stage entertainment featuring local musicians and dance troupes. For the little ones, Outback Pony Rides and the Kids Farmyard Trail offer fun, hands-on experiences. Witness Brumby demonstrations that showcase these magnificent horses, and younger children can enjoy the Old Kentucky Animal Farm for a hands-on encounter with farmyard animals. There will be agricultural drone displays on the oval, while Durkins Amusements provides a range of rides, including dodgem cars, the Cha Cha, a giant slide, cup and saucer rides, and a jumping castle. Additionally, livestock exhibitors will be showcasing their adorable Babydoll sheep and impressive Galloway cows, making for a well-rounded day of family-friendly activities.  Over 16 community groups will be providing catering and event services across the site, to ensure visitors have a great day out.
