Clock ticking on Field Days
With just on four months until the South Island Agricultural Field Days kicks off, organisers have been feverishly putting the finishing touches to the upgraded Kirwee site and still finding room for exhibitors keen to be part of the South Island’s largest agricultural event.

The 2023 biennial SIAFD will be held from March 29 to March 31. Field days committee chairman Hayden Dorman said the field days just managed to dodge the lockdown bullet in 2021, and 2023 promises to see an even bigger turn out of the latest in agricultural equipment, agritech and products.
Getting the right advice early makes a difference.
“The exhibitors who are either already booked or about to appreciate having the space and facilities to showcase and demonstrate their equipment to visitors who mean business, who are coming because they want to see just how well it performs in the field,” Dorman said. Since 2021 organisers have doubled down smoothing the site’s network of paved roads, establishing a new water supply, and
expanding the electricity grid throughout providing exhibitors with a reliable, extensive infrastructure to support their stand. Dorman said interest among farmers and contractors on displays at the 2023 event is heightened because of the difficulty many have had in past years trying to secure gear and equipment due to global shipping issues.
