54th farm world flies high

FARM World 2016 proved to be an outstanding success, attracting crowds of more than 50,000 over four days, to visit more than 700 exhibitors.

Held at Warragul’s Lardner Park, heavy rain the day before the field days got underway did nothing to deter the crowd across the weekend.

The theme for the field days in 2016 was Dairy – An Industry on the Move.

The women in agriculture luncheon was held on Thursday, which attracted over 300 women to hear guest speakers Janet Moxey from Moxey Farms in New South Wales, Dr Sinead De Gooyer, dairy farmer and general practitioner from Korumburra and Kelly Ward, Dairy Australia’s industry promotions manager.

This year’s Farm World event included an equestrian expo for the first time, held at the recently constructed Baw Baw Equestrian Centre.

The popular addition to the field days featured a broad range of equine trade stalls, dressage and show jumping events and master classes from the industry’s best.

Farm World is the ultimate setting to connect farmers with manufacturers, suppliers and distributors and for exhibitors to launch new products, showcase existing ranges and highlight the latest farming innovations.

Bronwen Russell and Kevin Smith from Gendore in Leongatha were at Farm World last Thursday, happy to show off the New Holland range of tractors and hay making equipment.
