The first day of Elmore Field Days began strong, with hundreds of stallholders and thousands of visitors joining in on the agricultural action on Tuesday, October 1.

With exhibitors from across the country, there is representation from a range of industries including harvesting machinery, irrigation, tillage, health, spraying and finance.

The 61st edition of the event welcomed attendees of all ages on its first of three days, and they spoke with stallholders about their offerings, watched demonstrations and presentations, sampled products and enjoyed the food options on offer.

Many organisations and businesses from Echuca-Moama were in attendance, including Echuca Regional Health and Campaspe branches of the Country Women’s Association, who were stationed in the general interest pavilion and health hub.
