The Avon Valley is gearing up for an exciting array of agricultural shows in 2024.
If you've never been to an agricultural show, it’s a fantastic experience to be a part of. It's not just about showcasing prize-winning livestock or the latest farming technology (though you'll find plenty of that!). Agricultural shows are about coming together as a community, being immersed in the shared stories, and celebrating the rich trade of Australia's farming sector.
For the public, it’s an entertaining and educational event to see firsthand the importance of farming to local communities. For the farmers, dealers, and members of the agricultural industry, it’s a great way for producers to be recognised and awarded for their achievements and an opportunity to promote healthy competition.
