HMFD chief executive officer Belinda Anderson highlighted the event's commitment to its founding principles.
“The event has a proud heritage and the HMFD Co-operative has never lost sight of the primary reason for its existence – to showcase the agricultural industry, and the very latest in new and emerging agricultural technology,” she said.
Visitors can expect a diverse program including the Henty Machine of the Year Award, working sheepdog trials, Country Lifestyle pavilion, Farm Gate, agronomy trials, helicopter rides, live entertainment, Natural Fibre Fashion Awards and vintage machinery displays.
“2025 will also further build on the visitor experience achieved with last year's launch of Agtech Alley, a collaboration with the NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development,” Mrs Anderson said.
The Country Lifestyle stage will feature daily fashion parades at 11am and 1pm, showcasing natural fibre garments competing for $5500 in prizes.
Farm Gate will offer regional gourmet products, while vintage displays will mark the centenary of Caterpillar and Ford in Australia.
Television personality Catriona Rowntree will conduct the official opening on September 23, while NSW Governor Margaret Beazley AC KC will attend on September 24.
Early bird tickets are available until September 22 at www.hmfd.com.au. Tickets will also be available at the gate.
