AgQuip notches up 50 years of top machinery displays

The field day is sponsored by Aon, and last year drew more than 90,000 visitors from across Australia, with more than $100 million changing hands demonstrating the strong confidence in the agricultural sector, ACM Rural Events general manager Kate Nugent said.

As Australia's largest rural field day, AgQuip has been a symbol of modern-day Australian agriculture since its beginnings in 1973.

Ms Nugent said the field day changed the way the agricultural industry conducts business.

"This year's event is expected to showcase more than 3000 companies and attract tens of thousands of visitors from across the nation and overseas," she said.

"Aon AgQuip field days was a great success story, having enjoyed a long and rich history since its early beginning in 1973, and recognised as a gigantic agri-marketing and sales promotion."

The organising team continues to lead the way, placing a great deal of emphasis on market-place results.
