New Zealand is the land of land and boy do they use it. Agriculture is massive here and especially in the center of the island I live in, they grow crops or farm animals, and it is huge. Lots of export opportunities for our produce.
So obviously they have a 4 day event where you can come together and see all that is agriculture, all the new tractors, farming machinery and anything else you can think of. Companies offering their products for farmers to see what they need new. Like that million-dollar tractor that is a tall as a 2-story house and has all the latest gadgets and gizmos to make it run well, go fast and be more efficient.
It is open to the public, and it can be an enjoyable way to pass a full day, from 9am to 5pm, you wander and view and go wow at some odd machinery and fascinating equipment. The thing that caught my eye this year was the drones. Now we are not talking little ones with a phone attached to view the world below, oh no, we are talking massive things that fertilize the ground for you. I think my car was about the same size as this one drone I saw!
We don't go every year, not that much into agriculture, but once every 5 years is enough for you to see the changes taking place in the future of agriculture.
And sometimes, you dream of having a garden big enough and steep enough to have a robot lawn mower that goes up hills
Or the ability to need enough power tools to create your own transformer
Of course, everything on offer is in large size, so all advertising is done large.
We were lucky enough to get a beautiful blue-sky day to wander with, which makes all the difference, otherwise a day of mud is just not as much fun.
