Horticltural Field Days:
The 59th MILDURA HORTICULTURAL FIELD DAYS
Tuesday 25th & Wednesday 26th May 2010
The 59th Mildura Horticultural Field Days will go ahead as planned.
To be held on Tuesday 25th and Wednesday 26th of May at the Sunraysia Institute of TAFE site, Benetook avenue, Mildura, the field days are a 'must see' event for all irrigated horticulturists.
The further worsening of the drought and low water allocations has placed extreme pressure on horticulturists, but many have managed well under difficult circumstances.
This is an opportunity for growers to see 'world's best practice' for irrigated horticulture with displays of the latest in technology, advances in machinery and access to a host of advisory services. Information regarding the best in irrigation equipment, water conservation, management practices and related equipment will again be available on the one site to help growers meet the challenges of production during a drought.
For the exhibitor, this means they have a captive audience wanting information. The more industry specific the exhibitors are who attend, the better it is for those who come to look, learn and perhaps buy on the day or later on.
Despite the tough times, it was pleasing to see exhibitor numbers at the 2008 event marginally up on the previous year with over 130 exhibitors exhibiting. An estimated crowd of about 7 - 8000 people attended over the two days
Admission continues to be free; however a gold coin donation at the gate would be appreciated. There is plenty of on-site car parking for exhibitors and patrons.
We are again pleased to have TASCO Inland Petroleum as the sponsor of the entry prize into the field days. Drawn twice daily on both days, the lucky winners will each receive a $250 fuel voucher from TASCO.
