That's the message from this mega field day’s organisers Fairfax Rural Events (FRE)...
"ProAg, supported by bcu, is your once-in-a-year opportunity where you can come and see, touch, feel and compare," FRE Group Manager Kate Nugent said.
"You can go online to do your homework – but unless you sit in the seat of that $20,000 piece of machinery and hear the purr of the engine, making a decision can be a risk.”
ProAg 2018 is the Mid North Coast’s premier primary industry event and will be held on Friday and Saturday, November 2 and 3 at Macksville Showgrounds.
Field days also offer organisations the chance to meet, interact and develop lasting business relationships with their customers.
