The Yorke Peninsula Field Days is the oldest in Australia dating back to 1894.

​

I am a farmer near Price YP, married with three daughters, two son in laws and recently a proud Pa. Being a member of two local bureaus led to my involvement on the Field Days committee and now becoming President, a position I am honoured to hold.

​

Our Field Days are a biannual 3 day event organised by 7 local bureaus and a dedicated committee with assistance from the local community.

​

With our new Office and Function Centre up and running we are looking forward to utilising the site for more events and functions year round.

​

The Field Day event has more than 600 exhibitors over an area of 16 hectares or 40 acres. It takes a lot of people hours to maintain the site and have everything prepared for a well run event. Providing a boost to the local economy and an opportunity for local clubs to raise fund by assisting with catering is another great benefit.

​

During the Field Days the committee aims to display a mix of agricultural history as well as the latest technology and equipment. Farming in the modern era including cropping, horticulture, aquaculture, viticulture, livestock production, dairy and many more provides   a vast range of employment opportunities which along with education choices are on display. Grain Marketing, Agronomy, Banking, Lawyers, Technology, Communication, Workplace Safety and more all make up a part of farming today and are represented at the event. A wide range of general interest stalls, guest speakers, demonstrations, and hands on activities for children make it a great family friendly event.
