That concludes our coverage of the big event. Here’s all our coverage of the last day:
UPDATE 4PM:
Judges were impressed by the stunning array of outfits at the wearable ag art fashion parade.
The winner of the avart garde category was “Kurrajong Armour” by designer Jan Dew.
Katrina Christie was on fire with her flame-inspired piece “Majestic Blaze”, which won the design category.
Winner of the 18 years and under category was 17-year-old Jaclyn Holland, from Highview College in Maryborough.
The first-time entrant said she felt she was “dreaming” when it was announced she won the category for her “Finding the Balance” piece.
A combination of wire, wool and paint made from ground-up rocks, the wearable art piece was designed to symbolise the balance between nature and mankind.
UPDATE 3.30PM:
Technology designed to allow precise distribution of liquid, fertiliser and seed proved a big winner at this year’s Elmore Field Days event.
The Apollo isobus rate and section control unit took out the Telstra award for technology and innovation.
The device puts farmers in the drivers seat when it comes to sowing their seeds and saving their pennies.
Topcon Precision Agriculture team leader Sean Metcalfe said previous technology had a 10 per cent gap in accuracy, whereas the Apollo was accurate within 1 per cent.
Mr Metcalfe said the savings from applying product such as nitrogen – only where it was necessary and not overcompensating by 10 per cent could save farmers tens of thousands of dollars.
“It’s the best economical and environmental return for their investment,” he said.
UPDATE 2.30PM:
Father and son duo from Moama Jeff and Clay Townrow are celebrating after winning the Tractor and Machinery Association Elmore Machine of the Year.
Their high capacity mobile seed grader wowed judges for it’s efficiency.
Clay Townrow explained the giant machine can grade, clean and provide seed treatments with a 20 to 25 per cent increased capacity.
He said in the past grading seed – mainly wheat, barely and oats – for replanting could be done at 20 tonnes an hour, but this machine could see a turnover of 35 tonnes an hour.
UPDATE 2PM:
Rows upon rows of store-holders, stocking everything from giant farm machinery to tiny herbs, are reporting a decline in numbers, largely due to the hot weather conditions on Tuesday.
But promising sales today and Wednesday have kept their spirits up.
Ashley Simmons of Blooming Tough Plants said little native plants were selling well this year.
At the Taste Pavillion, first-timers The Herb Store and Olive Park were thrilled with their success, with the herb store taking out the Best Taste More Pavilion Exhibit.
