Rotary NQ Field Days A Success For NQ Rotary Clubs

Townsville’s Reid Park became an agricultural hub last week as Rotary NQ Field Days brought hundreds of exhibitors and visitors together.
The Rotary Clubs of Townsville, the Burdekin and surrounding districts proudly hosted the 2024 NQ Field Days from April 4-5, showcasing best practices in all avenues of farming, agribusiness, and all other relevant industries.
The profits made from Rotary NQ Field Days will go directly back into the local Townsville, Burdekin and regional communities.
Member for Dawson Andrew Willcox MP attended the event alongside some of his colleagues, giving him the opportunity to keep abreast of both local agricultural developments and the needs of his constituents.
"It's an event where the city meets the country and country people from all over the region came to have a look at the equipment and innovation on offer," Mr Willcox said.
"It was a fantastic opportunity for me to meet up with people from all over the electorate.
“One of the highlights for me was chatting to the Jurgens who have drones that drop beneficiary insects over land so farmers can stop using so many chemicals – it was very cool to see what they've got going on.”
