Fieldays 2021 was one of the biggest in the agricultural event's history, with a total of 132,776 people attending over the four days to see the best of what the primary sector has to offer.
And eventgoers can extend their Fieldays experience with the Fieldays Online, running until June 30.
At the official opening ceremony last Wednesday, New Zealand National Fieldays Society president, James Allen, spoke of the significance of the event.
"The challenges in the primary sector today are significant: labour, greenhouse gases, droughts and floods. But the opportunities are even greater, and Fieldays is the one place where you can see those opportunities come to life," says James.
Some of the primary sector's greatest minds put their ideas to the test at the Fieldays Innovation Awards. Winners included Springarm Products Limited's ballcock arm that flexes, Cropsy Technologies with their AI enabled hardware that optimises crop management, and IGS Limited's vertical farming technology.
