Ag-Grow manager Donna Reeves said more than 300 businesses highlighted their products and services to the attendees.
"Vendors at this year's event did great business and some vendors did better than they have in six years," Ms Reeves said.
"It was amazing weather, there was no winds, and I think that might have had an impact on numbers, as some growers were too busy harvesting their crops.
"But, to run a field day this big, with so little people is pretty impressive."
