With so many agricultural field days postponed or cancelled this year, farmers are not making their annual pilgrimage to these events to see the latest machines, ask questions and kick tyres in order to make the most informed purchasing decisions.
After all, we know plenty are still trying to take advantage of the Federal Government’s temporary full expensing scheme to upgrade their fleets before the incentive runs out mid next year.
With that in mind, we are delighted to bring to you the inaugural farmmachinerysales Virtual Field Days 2021, where you will find all the latest machinery and product news in one place.
If a product was going to launch at a show this year and we know about it, you’ll read about it here. As we will be gradually rolling out field days content over a couple of months, make sure you keep checking back as we add more products to this list.
We hope you enjoy your visit!
