“This year we’ve got a fantastic season happening in the Riverina and broader, so hopefully we will see that reflected in the numbers that come through the gates because we’re certainly seeing it through our largest number of exhibitors ever,” she says.

About 800 exhibitors were on site to display their wares, with products ranging from large machinery to farm supplies.

Anderson adds the organising committee takes pride in the field days being a unique show created by the community, for the community.

“We’re not your typical event as we’re a community-based organisation so we hear what people want because we have feet on the ground in lots of communities,” Anderson says.

“We need to be very aware of what’s happening in agriculture, where people want to go and what they want to see.”

Anderson says the committee is also looking to repurpose and develop the field days site for other uses throughout the year so as to sustain the field days for many more years to come.  

The 2015 Henty Machinery Field Days was held from September 22 to 24.

Some highlights of the show include the presentation of the prestigious Henty Machine of the Year award, which was taken home this year by TPOS Fabrications for its unique wheel track renovator, the Flatrac.
