FARMERS, contract harvesters, transport companies and agricultural machinery retailers are invited to attend the 'Be Road Ready For Harvest' Field Day on Thursday, August 10, at the Forbes Central West Livestock Exchange.
The Field Day, which is supported by the Australian Custom Harvesters Association, NSW Farmers, WFI, Roads and Maritime Services, NSW Police and the Parkes, Forbes and Lachlan Shire Councils, will kick off with a free breakfast at 8am.
Local Australian Custom Harvesters Association Member Bob Wythes, said the aim of the field day is to provide information about the current regulations for safely and legally moving agricultural vehicles and combinations on the road.
“This event has been happening now for seven years, providing participants with a hands on look at how to safely and legally transport a wide range of agricultural machinery. If you’re a farmer, contractor or transporter you won’t want to miss it,” Mr Wythes said.
