See more — hear more — learn more
OTAGO Field Day’s celebrates its fifth event on October 7 and 8 at the Palmerston
Showgrounds.
The Field Days has transformed from purely industrial displays to include technologies and education in response to the demands of legislation and a more advanced and regenerative culture.
To do this we have introduced a speaker series whereby industry leaders and scientists will discuss the issues and legislation with land and water use. There will be opportunities to learn how to measure to manage our landscapes, including soil science.
Another focus builds on food waste and the processes that could be implemented to reduce this, thus enhancing productivity and giving a higher value.
Our exhibitors are bringing their expertise and knowledge to showcase products that feature energy efficiency — e.g. autosteer on tractors reduces waste of seeding and fertiliser application. Also featuring are safe handling facilities with stock, the planning of good fencing, and specialised fertilisers.
Learn about carbon credit opportunities, the value of soil testing and interpretation, and productive tree crops.
Thank you to our committee and volunteers, our exhibitors and supporters — we couldn’t do this without you.
COVID19 studies have shown that community transmission is 20 times LESS likely in an outdoor situation. A QR code and sanitation points are provided. FREE entry with no queuing allows for easier social distancing.
The Otago Field Days provides a unique opportunity for a great day out — easy parking, buy a coffee, a burger, an ice cream, and sit on the terraces and enjoy the views, sun and company.
