Governor's Message

As Patron of Rural Youth Tasmania, I am pleased to again write a message in support of Agfest Field Days 2024.

Agfest 2024 will continue to build on its success of previous years. It has been, and continues as, our premier Field Day in Tasmania since its inception in 1983. Agfest also provides Tasmania’s rural and farming communities with opportunities to mix and share with people from our towns and cities in a celebration of agriculture, innovation and community spirit.

Agfest in the Paddock this year will be held from 2 – 4 May at the usual venue of Quercus Park, Carrick. While limited ticket sales will be available on site on the day, online is the best way to secure your entry. Included in online is access to the reduced pricing associated with family tickets. All of the proceeds go towards supporting Rural Youth Tasmania. I encourage everyone to support this event by attending one, some or all days in the Paddock.

Agfest could not happen without the generous support of sponsors of this event. I thank all the sponsors, as well as exhibitors and patrons for their support of this very important event in our rural calendar. May I also thank the volunteers from Rural Youth who have worked so hard to bring this year’s event to fruition.

As Patron of Rural Youth Organisation of Tasmania, I look forward to seeing you all at Quercus Park for Agfest in the Paddock in May.
