Field Days

Officially it's known as the New Zealand National Agricultural Fieldays, more commonly known as Field Days.  I've been to this annual farming and agricultural trade show, the largest of its kind in NZ and the Southern Hemisphere.  I was blown away by the number of people, exhibitors and events.  This year it will be again held at the Mystery Creek Events Centre, Hamilton, from June 11-14.  The crowd estimate is over 120,000 every year.  This is also an event wherein students from primary to tertiary come and are awed by the scale of this event.  Hopefully some of them will take up an agriculture related course to carry on the tradition of farming in NZ.  This is also a great time for families to come and bond.
