Chairman's report
Agfest is an agricultural machinery field day held in May annually commencing the 1st Thursday and concluding Saturday.It is organised and run by the Rural Youth Organisation of Tasmanian Inc, a non profit organisation, whose members are aged between 15 & 30 years of age.
Commencing in 1983, Agfest has grown from 111 exhibitors and 9000 patrons to over 740 exhibitors and almost 80,000 patrons in 2005. It is a Tasmanian success story and boosts the Tasmanian economy by several million dollars annually.
