The 55th annual Fieldays event opened its gates this morning and this year marks a significant milestone as it will be the first time since 2019 that the borders will be fully open, allowing for a global exchange of ideas and innovations.

Mystery Creek will be a vibrant hub of activity drawing farmers, industry professionals, advocates, and families from far and wide. Many from Te Tairāwhiti will make the trip over there over the next few days.
