“We’ve labelled it the year of the big tractors,” she said.
“There’s some quite large and unusual tractors around the state, and around the country, and we’re getting those together and bringing them to the field days.”
Mrs Lenehan said one of the tractors, Big Bud, was a massive American tractor that was sure to impress.
She said another aspect of the event would be the local market – with the feature market day on Wednesday, March 5 – but stalls would feature at every day of the three-day event.
“It’s just about trying to keep the field days relevant and vibrant,” she said. “Yes, it is an ag-based field day, but it has a far wider reach in the community than just ag, so we’re trying to make sure that we still cater for families, education, and leisure activities.
“We realise it’s important that the whole community comes out and the ag sector.”
Paw Patrol will also provide children’s entertainment on the Wednesday.
Mrs Lenehan said other new aspects to this year’s field days was an energy hub to assist farmers and homeowners with installing solar.
“We’re doing an energy hub in the Moore Exhibition Centre and Wade’s will be helping us with that,” she said.
“It will be for all of your solar, hot water systems and things like grants that are out there, but you’re not sure whether they’re legit or not.
“We’ll be having a big section in the Moore centre where you can go and find out a little bit more information.”
Mrs Lenehan said there would also be a farm biosecurity hub in the Alan Heard Pavilion, and an outdoor leisure area featuring caravan, camping and outdoor leisure exhibitors.
Another new feature of the field days on the cards will be an area for machinery dealers to do more demonstrations.
