This year we’re celebrating our 41st annual event and here’s a look at some of our major achievements and where we started from:
1978 – The first Field Day was held 26-27th of April on AC Walker property at Carina. The second Field Day was held at John Santalucia’s property in Johnstone Street and continued at that site until 1984.
1984 – The Field Day was renamed AgroTrend and moved into the present site in Kendall’s Road.
1995 – AgroTrend raked in its highest profits to date with takings of $322 000. That year donations were made to at least 40 different groups, clubs, organisations and charities.
1996 – Heavy rains almost washed out the entire event. Thanks to the hard work of several members, the show went on.
2001-2015 – Newsmail paid a license fee to host Agrotrend (with conditions).
2016-Present – The Rotary Club of Bundaberg has resumed the administration of Agrotrend once more.
