Farm Day draws a great crowd
Released 28 Mar 2010
Federated Farmers Farm Day is going off with a bang as Kiwis start to flock through the gates of 23 farms across New Zealand.
"There's been hundreds of visitors at the North Canterbury Farm Day in Lincoln already and it looks like there's many more to come," says Federated Farmers President, Don Nicolson.
"Auckland's also had a fantastic turn out, well into the hundreds and John Banks even made an appearance.
"The activities are in full swing all across the country and the crowds are getting a taste of life on a working New Zealand farm.
"There are a lot of families coming through who are just looking for a fun day and that's exactly what they're getting.
"The weather's great at most of the farms and clearing at those that aren't quite so fortunate. One thing's for sure, there's a fantastic atmosphere all across the country.
"The farms will be open until 3pm so there's still plenty of time to check out your local Farm Day," Mr Nicolson concluded.
