Aon AgQuip 2024 has wrapped for another year, with tens of thousands of visitors passing through the gates and exhibitors receiving good interest across a range of products and services.
NSW Premier, The Hon Chris Minns MP, and NSW Minister for Agriculture The Hon Tara Moriarty MP, joined the field day celebrations on Thursday, visiting some of the more than 2500 exhibitors at the 2024 event, meeting many attendees who stopped to say ‘hello’ and even enjoying one of AgQuip’s famous steak sandwiches, cooked by Calrossy Anglican School students volunteering on the Shorthorn breeders’ stand.
Premier acknowledges critical role of ag with visit to nation’s biggest field day where tech innovation will be centre stage
NSW Premier, The Hon Chris Minns MP, will be among the thousands visiting Aon AgQuip 2024 at Gunnedah, taking a particular interest in the new AgSmart Connect Hub where tech excellence and innovation will take centre stage.
Event organisers ACM Agri are pleased to host the Premier, who will be joined by NSW Minister for Agriculture Tara Moriarty, said he was proud of the state’s strong farming history, and was looking forward to another visit to Australia’s largest field day.
“Thank you to the many farmers for being the backbone of this state and beyond. It’s an exciting time to be in primary industries and AgQuip is a wonderful way to celebrate it,” Mr Minns said.
Gunnedah Shire will once again host Australia’s biggest field days when AgQuip opens on August 20.
