The best site award was won by Donehue’s Leisure and a joint exhibition by 10 New Zealand businesses won the Graham Collins Innovation Award.

The New Zealand marquee was coordinated by the the New Zealand government and field days organisers hailed it as elevating the field days to an international event. 

Swayne and McCabe won the Best Farm Machinery Exhibit and Grass Growers the best small business exhibit. The Macrovet feed supplement and Permazyme Ag exhibit by Warrnambool Veterinary clinic won the Rural exhibit award.

Field Days chairman Tony Rea said this year’s event was the second in a row when the event had sold out of exhibition space.
