The state’s peak farming body is gearing up for field day season with an Aussie cricket legend and familiar favourites on the way to Gunnedah.

NSW Farmers will bring back a number of popular offerings for AgQuip visitors next week with record attendance predicted, including the free barbecue lunch for members and guests as well as free refreshments from the WFI Coffee Cart.

Local NSW Farmers Regional Service Manager Michael Collins was among those who would be on deck to welcome visitors to AgQuip and said it would be well worth the trip.

“One of the highlights of an event like AgQuip is seeing what’s new in agriculture, and there’s no shortage of innovation or excitement in store this year,” Mr Collins said.

“But there’s also the old favourites like the GRDC Breakfast on Wednesday morning where the Brownhill Cup will be awarded for farming excellence, and a series of presentations from Aussie cricket legend Brad Hogg on the importance of mental health.

“Whether you’re a newcomer to the industry, an old hand or a young farmer just starting out, we hope you’ll enjoy everything AgQuip has to offer and stop by the NSW Farmers shed to say g’day!”

NSW Farmers President Xavier Martin will be among those in the NSW Farmers shed, as well as staff from the workplace relations, policy, projects, regional and media teams.
