Ravensdown’s HawkEye Pro Wins Technology Award at Southern Field Days
Ravensdown's next evolution in smart farming technology, HawkEye Pro, was awarded the Technology Section Award at the Southern Field Days Farm Innovation Awards in February 2026.
Your old mate hears things may be changing in the deep south however, with the previously cruisy Southern Field Days attracting a few grumbles.
Maybe as these outfits grow, so do their egos. Or perhaps the coffers are just running low.
How else to explain their new policy of charging exhibitors for extra tickets to attend sites they’ve already paid for; and charging rural media, who publicise the event for free, to attend?
It sounds like a small thing, but it’s a warning bell – a reminder that the now huge and officious Misery Creek was once known as a cruisy, farmer-run event too.
Be a shame for the regionals to follow them down the same road!
