The future of farming has never depended more on ingenuity and rapid advances in technology to secure its viability.

The 2009 Yorke Peninsula Field Days will continue this proud tradition as farmers continue their search for the latest technology solutions to lift productivity.

As it has at every event since 1896, this year’s program will highlight the ongoing adoption of ever more sophisticated technology on Australian farms.

Whether it is evolving technology in Global Positioning Satellite equipment, automatic steering technology, the latest tractors and harvesters or new cropping technology, the Yorke Peninsula Field Days will provide the best display in South Australia.

The three day event will also showcase key services required by the regional community from education providers to clothing, finance, the latest communications technology and housing suppliers.

New developments in local food production will also be eagerly anticipated by the large crowd.

While the farm sector is facing a challenging year, we hope that it will benefit from lower costs and subsequently greater returns.

Growing optimism that the drought will finally end this year following welcome rains in the Outback in recent months will provide the greatest boost of all for the field days.

Above all, we should recognise the greatest resource - the people who work our land.
