COVID-19 ‘exhausting’

- – Anne Webster

I am truly disappoint­ed the Mallee Machinery Field Days committee has cancelled the event for this year.

Not only was I looking forward to attending myself, but I know how much these field days mean to our communitie­s and especially Speed.

The MMFD is not only an opportunit­y for producers, industry and locals alike to share informatio­n, innovation and new farming equipment. The benefits of the days include lifting community spirits.

We cannot underestim­ate the mental-health benefits to everyone concerned by being able to meet together.

COVID has put local communitie­s under intense pressure and isolated many families over the past 18 months, so events like these are hugely important.

One thing is for sure, absence certainly can make the heart grow fonder, and I’m sure everyone will be looking forward to 2022 Mallee Machinery Field Days!
