Farmers spend big and createrecord field days at Henty

A cautious spring outlook failed to dampenthe 49th Henty Machinery Field Days with arecord crowd and exhibitors reporting strongagricultural machinery sales.

A crowd of more than 60,000 peopleinspected over 1200 sites staged by 800exhibitors across the 89ha site on September18-20.

Henty Machinery Field Days chairman RossEdwards said farmers were spending, withinterest centred on bulk grain and stock han-dling equipment.

Mr Edwards said site numbers were 25 percent up on last year and more than $100 millionworth of machinery on display.

A highlight of Henty this year was the pres-tigious Machine of the Year award won byBerrima Engineering, of Deniliquin, with theirBR1200 Roller bar hay rake.

Berrima Engineering director MartinMorona said the award had sparked “seriouslygood interest’’ in their Australian designed andmanufactured product.

Goldacres took out the Tractor andMachinery Association Award for bestAustralian built machine with the Windrower2000.

Another crowd puller this year was the dis-

play of 18 vintage Bulldog tractors staged bythe Henty and District Antique FarmMachinery Club to mark the 100th anniversaryof the popular single cylinder machine.

Stoll Sprayers director Jarrod Stoll, ofWagga Wagga, said feedback was positivedespite farmers waiting for spring rain to maketheir buying decisions.

Mr Stoll said most interest had centred onlarger self-propelled sprayers.

“Everyone seems to be taking a step up in thesize of their gear,’’ he said.

“I’m convinced a lot of people will comeback in the next month or two to buy.’’

Henty Machinery Field Days chief execu-tive officer Graeme Hicks said crowd numbershad exceeded expectations.

“We estimate more than 60,000 people visit-ed the field day site,’’ Mr Hicks said.

He said positive feedback had been receivedon the improved signage and increased parkingand on-site vehicle movement restrictions.

“The amount of interest in bookings for nextyear far exceeds this time last year,’’ Mr Hickssaid.

“We are now looking forward to the 50thanniversary and this will give us a great oppor-tunity to focus on the heritage of the field days.”

Maximise your lambproduction profits with

BOYD Metal WorksPeter and Ann-Maree Boyd a farming couple founded

Boyd Metal Works in 2006. Through attendance at an Elders Livestock

Management Course (ELMS), an excellent understandingwas gained of how the rumen and digestive system worksin sheep and cattle.

Armed with this knowledge, a sheep grain feeder wasfabricated; based on three main design points, large capac-ity, ease of adjustment to grain flow and minimal wastageof grain.

Using the ELMS protocol and the newly made feeder,Peter and Ann-Maree managed to increase ewe productionfrom 2000 – 6000 lambs on the same amount of land.

After a year of design and manufacture, Boyd MetalWorks had a full range of feeders, which included sheepgrain feeder, cattle grain feeder, sheep dry lick feeder, cat-tle dry lick feeder and hay feeders that will suit sheep cat-tle and horses.
