Nationals Deputy Leader and Member for Swan Hill, Peter Walsh, is looking forward to attending the Speed Mallee Machinery Field Days again on August 4 and 5.
Along with fellow National MPs Hugh Delahunty (Lowan), Peter Crisp (Mildura), Damien Drum (Northern Region) and Federal Member for Mallee John Forrest, Peter is keen to meet with locals and farmers alike over a cup of coffee or to answer questions and discuss issues throughout the two-day event.
“The Mallee Machinery Field Days are an extremely popular event and we’re all looking forward to catching up with people from across the district over the two days at our regular position, Site 25,” Mr Walsh said.
“We have had an excellent start to our season this year and we can look forward with cautious optimism to a good harvest although we will still have to deal with the potential problems we are facing with locusts and mice,” he said.
“The hard-working Speed Field Days Committee is to be congratulated for its tireless work to keep the field days going given the difficult conditions we have experienced in the past few years and I am looking forward to another great event this year.”
