Rural Press AgQuip Event
Commonwealth Bank AgQuip has developed a reputation over the last 39 years as the nation’s premier presentation of the latest innovations and developments in agricultural machinery and equipment.
“It’s like a giant rural supermarket,” said Barry Harley, General Manager of field day organisers Rural Press Events.
“We have always considered Commonwealth Bank AgQuip to be a big shop where people on the land can come to see what’s on offer from the biggest and best tractors and harvesters to the latest development in power tools.
“And our philosophy continues to gain confirmation from the marketplace as we continue to attract the largest visitation of any rural field day in the country.”
