110,000 visitors!

Written by  Milking It

OPINION: It's official, Fieldays 2025 clocked 110,000 visitors over the four days.

Kudos to the organising committee and new chief executive Richard Lindroos.

The weather may not have been fully on side, but the vibe was positive. Confidence in the rural sector was apparent with exhibitors reporting good sales across a range of products and services.

Lindroos has already made it clear he is looking for primary sector support.

“Our call is not for handouts, but for hands joined together to take advantage of the opportunities and meet the challenges of the next five, ten, and twenty-five years.”

Bring it on!
