Thanks to everybody who attended Commonwealth Bank AgQuip 2018. We are still hearing stories from happy exhibitors who did much better than anticipated given the dry conditions. Thanks again to all exhibitors who showed great faith in the event and in Australian agriculture in general. Lets hope the gathering clouds tonight bring good rainfall to the region. Here's a few photos to show how well the event was attended and just how dry it is - see if you can see yourself (Wednesday) or your vehicle!

Farmers are looking to the skies this weekend in the hope that predicted rain arrives in large amounts. Among them is Rob Williams of Coona Valley Contractors (left), who was the top bidder for a 7000 litre water cartage tank auctioned at Commonwealth Bank AgQuip today to benefit the CWA Drought Relief Campaign. Donated by Singleton-based Rapid Spray, the tank was sold for $3,100 at the site this morning (Thursday), the final day of AgQuip. Rob Williams says charities like the CWA are doing a great job as the whole community is effected by the drought, and the tank will have a lot work but their other contracting work has dried up. Rob was congratulated on his purchase by Rapid Spray sales manager, Russell Firth (right). #agquip #agquip2018 #rapidspray #coonabarabran #gunnedah #cwa #drought #droughtrelief #droughtreliefappeal #farmer #farmers #watertank #agriculture #commbank #commonwealthbank #charity #charityevent #charitywater #charityauction (at Gunnedah Ag-Quip)

Exhibitors head home after another busy day at Commonwealth Bank AgQuip - and a bigger crowd expected for the final day, Thursday from 9am to 4pm. Despite the drought conditions, exhibitors and crowds have supported the event, with an eye out for the latest in agricultural technology and developments. #agquip #agquip2018 #gunnedah #gunnedahshire #commbank #commonwealthbank #dust #drought #agriculture #agricultureworldwide #agricultureglobal #headinghome #thankafarmerforyournextmeal #thankafarmer #nofarmersnofood #exhibition #fieldday #fielddays #farm #farmersmarket #farmer #farmers (at Gunnedah Ag-Quip)

A bit of everything for the crowds at Commonwealth Bank AgQuip, with over 3,000 organisations represented on site including long-time exhibitor, Peel Valley Machinery with their John Deere range. There's also a Chinese agricultural delegation visiting the new AgQuip Seminar Room which is running a full three day program, and country music star, Adam Harvey, playing two free concerts on site and talking to the public at the Clipex Stand. Plenty to see and do at Commonwealth Bank AgQuip this afternoon and Thursday from 9am to 4pm, Blackjack Rd, Gunnedah, NSW. #agquip #agquip2018 #clipex #johndeere #johndeerepower #peelvalleymachinery #adamharvey #fieldday #fielddays #commbank #commonwealthbank #gunnedah @clipexaustralia @adamharveyofficial @john_deere_official @gunnedah_shire @commbank @commbankaustralia (at Gunnedah Ag-Quip)

NSW Minister for Primary Industry, Niall Blair, has encouraged farmers to visit the various NSW Government services at Commonwealth Bank AgQuip, such as the Rural Assistance Authority, Local Land Services, and Department of Primary Industry. Spending day one at the event, the Minister also sought information from farmers as to the effectiveness of current drought programs and says this is important to use in future planning and to make sure the programs are working. Commonwealth Bank AgQuip continues Wednesday and Thursday, just west of Gunnedah, NSW. #agquip #agquip2018 #nswgovernment #nswdpi #niallblair #farmer #farmers #drought #droughtrelief (at Gunnedah Ag-Quip)

Hoping the rain predictions for this weekend are fulfilled, but in between, one of Australia's largest farm field days will be run. The 28km of roads on the site are watered, the bales are unloaded for seating, and the new AgQuip Seminar room is ready for three days of presentations, ranging from Destination NSW Tourism (Tuesday morning) to Rural Mental Health. Exhibitors are also pledging to donate their hay bales at the end of the field day to the Buy A Bale program to support local farmers. If you're an exhibitor, you can pledge your bales at the Commonwealth Bank AgQuip headquarters, right up until the end of the field days on Thursday afternoon. #agquip #agquip2018 #haybales #buyabale #commbank #commonwealthbank #seminarroom #pledgeabale #pledge #gunnedah #roadwater #destinationnsw (at Gunnedah Ag-Quip)

The crane is heading home after a busy week and the last exhibitors are finishing off their sites for opening day, Tuesday 9am at Commonwealth Bank AgQuip 2018, the 46th annual event showcasing the latest in agricultural developments and technology. Gates open 9-5 Tuesday and Wednesday and 9-4 Thursday. Despite the very dry conditions, the site is full and worth a day off the farm or out of town to visit one of the biggest farm field days in the world, just west of Gunnedah, NSW. Take care on the roads as we expect it will be quite busy. @trafficliveda73 #agquip #agquip2018 #fieldday #fielddays #agriculture #agricultureworldwide #agriculture_global #farm #farmersmarket #farmer #sunset #crane #cranes (at Gunnedah Ag-Quip)

The first of a number of drought forums was held in the Attunga hall, with the Deputy Prime Minister present (on stage). Many Government and non-Government organisations were on site to provide information, assistance and support. If you cant get to a forum across the North West and New England, be sure to take a day off the farm or out of town at Commonwealth Bank AgQuip where many of the same supports will be there, including services such as the Salvation Army, CWA, Royal Far West, Local Land Services, RAMHP and more. Be sure to visit the inaugural Seminar Room where topics of importance will be discussed for rural people. See you there, 21-23 August at Blackjack Rd, Gunnedah, NSW. #agquip #agquip2018 #commbank #commonwealthbank #gunnedah #agriculture #salvationarmy #cwa #ramhp #locallandservices #drought #attunga #royalfarwest #farmer #farmersmarket #farm #farming (at Attunga, New South Wales, Australia)
