Fieldays 2022 is currently underway. This years Fieldays has had five and a half months of extra buildup, as it was delayed to avoid the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The attendance numbers for the opening day are lower than they were in previous years, with only 17,000 people turning up as opposed to the 29,000 who were there for Fieldays 2021.
Rowena Duncum, producer of The Country says that the event is still underway and not all the figures are in for today's turnout, but she's noticed the number of people there is lower than Fieldays 2021.
Rowena says that the low turnout is because of the weather and the time of year. November is a busy time for farmers and when combined with the bad weather, it creates a perfect storm.
