New Zealand Agricultural Fieldays will be held from 14 to 17 June

The latest machinery releases, as well as technology and innovations from around the globe, are set to be released at New Zealand Agricultural Fieldays® 2017.

Held from 14 to 17 June at Mystery Creek Events Centre, New Zealand National Agricultural Fieldays is the largest event of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. In 2016, the event generated $430 million in sales revenue for New Zealand firms. There were 1507 exhibitor sites and 130,684 people through the gates over the four-day event.

The theme for this year's Fieldays^® is 'leading change'.

"We have chosen this theme to help drive prosperity in New Zealand's primary sector," CEO Peter Nation says. "To excel and grow in the future, innovation and change is vital. It is an exciting and challenging time for the industry, but with good leadership, we have great opportunities."

Peter says New Zealand was a world leader in agriculture and primary production, and New Zealand National Agricultural Fieldays also led the way as a place where businesses and individuals come for the latest in agricultural innovations and technology.

"We hope 'leading change' is a theme that our partners and exhibitors will embrace," Peter says. Leading change supports the Fieldays pillars of education, internationalisation, and innovation, which are represented at the event with the Innovations Centre, the Careers and Education Hub, and the Business International Centre.

The event has widespread appeal across Australasia and the globe, with international visitors attending as well as Kiwis keen to immerse themselves in all facets of the rural industries represented.

Fieldays offers rural events and activities to keep the whole family entertained, with events such as the Tractor Pull, NZ Fencing Championships, and Innovation Awards.
