Big-ticket items such as farm machinery fall squarely into that category. That's the message from the 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," said FRE Group Manager Kate Nugent.
"It’s that first-hand experience and the opportunity to talk to the manufacturer and/or the dealer," she said.
On the flipside, the field days also offer organisations the chance to meet, interact and develop lasting business relationships with their customers.
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.
