Old favourites and new exhibitors will take part.
Chainsaw carvers will turn blocks of wood into works of art, the RNZAF will do aerial display and the Taste of Central Districts is sure to get taste buds tingling.
Competitions will include the Norwood Farm Machinery Centre tractor pull competition, Husqvarna woodchopping and the national excavator championships.
And competition will be fierce as top fencing contractors line up for the Goldpine doubles power fencing competition on Friday, March 14. This prompts fencers to hone their skills and display their abilities.
The Gallagher Shield (fencing) is up for grabs and current title holders Paul and Jason Van Beers, from Central Hawke’s Bay, will defend their title.
Contestants must erect 36m of five-wire electric fence, each of one 2.4m stayed strainer assembly and one 2.4m blocked strainer assembly with five wooden posts.
Both ends must be clamped in parallel with a steel rod gate hung and latched at the stay end, and an electric tape gate on the other.
There will be 10 lines in which 20 of the North Island’s leading fencing contractors will perform.
The event starts at 10am opposite CDFD headquarters; the prizegiving will be on the Goldpine site from 3pm.
Central Districts Field Days will be held at Manfeild Park, Feilding, March 13 – 15.
