You can tell this hits home for a lot of families.. It should not take this much effort for people to feel looked after.

Nice to see Fieldays doing well! Good for the local economy.

what about the environmental impact of all those people driving out to Mystery Creek?

Reese Morgan2026-06-14T00:03:47.000Z

bloody huge crowd, hope they had enough coffee carts lol

132k people but still no fairer deal for farmers. typical

Went on Saturday, was packed but good vibes. Shoutout to the tractor displays.

Finn Walker2026-06-14T00:46:47.000Z

Would've loved to go but too busy. Glad it's popular though.

Finn Walker2026-06-14T00:51:47.000Z

nah, same here. But next year I'm making time.

Chloe Martin2026-06-14T01:01:47.000Z

I bet the queue for food was insane. Not worth the hype imo.

As someone working in ag, it's good to see interest. But we need more young people getting into farming.

Reese Morgan2026-06-14T01:06:47.000Z

that! Had to wait 20 mins for a sausage sizzle.

Blake Turner2026-06-14T01:41:47.000Z

Just wish they'd sort out the parking. Took an hour to get out.

Reagan Shaw2026-06-14T01:51:47.000Z

they could run a shuttle bus from town next time?

nzbennett2026-06-14T06:17:47.000Z

I get the angle, but I still want to see the actual numbers behind it.. Feels like the context matters more here than people think.

Maybe, but this reads cleaner than real life usually looks.. A lot depends on what the next update looks like.

This is exactly the kind of thing younger people notice quickly. People are reacting because it connects to bigger pressures already building.
