WMFD 2020 introduces new auction feature

One of Victoria and Australia’s leading agricultural field days, the Wimmera Machinery Field Days, is set to run over three days from March 3 to 5, 2020.

A brand new attraction this year is a machinery auction to be held on the Thursday, March 5 featuring a range of new and used equipment to be offered up by exhibitors.

The items can range from tools worth a few hundred dollars to machinery worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Visitors keen to make a bid can view the auction item line-up on the first two days of the field days before turning up on the final day for the auction.

Another attraction making a comeback this year after a successful inaugural event last year is the Twilight Expo which will run till 7pm on March 3. Patrons get free entry into the field days from 3pm onwards on the day and get to enjoy gourmet food and wine as well as some live entertainment.

As always, the Wimmera field days will have a huge focus on agricultural machinery and will serve as a platform for exhibitors looking to launch new products and services to the farming community. Awards recognising excellence in machinery and innovation will be handed out on the Wednesday, March 4.

Children are also encouraged to attend the show where there will be wildlife demonstrations, live entertainment for kids, train rides and more.
