BLUSTERY conditions did not deter farmers from heading to the first day of the Eyre Peninsula Field Days.
The event served as a launch pad for SA’s new farm biosecurity and animal health management scheme – One Biosecurity.
Primary Industries Minister Tim Whetstone said the program would enhance SA’s reputation as a leader in biosecurity.
The Bascombe Auto Ag site featured the Kuhn Axent 100.1, 36-metre spreader – the only precision machine that will spread granulated product, as well as gypsum and lime.
At the Kubpower site, the biggest Kubota tractors yet released were on display. The M7151 featured 24 speed powershift transmission and a spacious, all-round vision cab. The M7 series is available from 97 kilowatts to 127KW.
The field days attracted a number of first-time boutique food producers, as well as plenty of regular exhibitors.
