EVENT: Commonwealth Bank AgQuip field days 2014

The country’s largest field days featuring the biggest showcase of agri-products is set to return to the rural town of Gunnedah, New South Wales in August.

AgQuip, sponsored by the Commonwealth Bank since its inception in the 1970s, is set to run from August 19 to 21 this year.

Over 3,000 exhibitors have signed up to display their wares and over 100,000 patrons are expected to stream through the gates over the three days.

Many companies such as Alto Imports, Chesterfield Australia, McIntosh Distribution and Falcon UAV will be using the show as a launch pad to introduce their new products to the market.

In addition to being a massive outdoor supermarket, the event will also feature a number of machinery demonstrations and awards that will be handed out to innovative farmers and businesses.

This includes the NSW Farm Inventor of the Year Award and the prestigious Bronwhill Cup awarded to farming operations implementing innovative practices that improve sustainability, productivity and profitability.

In addition to a wide range of machinery both big and small, AgQuip will also feature a number of rural lifestyle focussed businesses selling items such as handicrafts, jewelleries, clothing etc.

Best of all, it is free for all to attend.
