Site applications for 2012 New Zealand National Agricultural Fieldays are 13% ahead of last year and already 88% of sites are sold, say organisers.

Other changes for what will be the 43^rd National Agricultural Fieldays include a larger International Exhibition area within the Mystery Creek Pavilion and the Kiwi’s Best marquee will also be bigger.

Applications for remaining Fieldays sites will be assigned in order of submission. Visit www.fieldays.co.nz/applicationform ; phone 07 843 4499; email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
