🚜🐮 It's Fieldays Week in the Waikato! 🌫️
For locals, this often means:
• Leaving earlier than usual for work, school or appointments.
• Checking traffic updates before heading south of Hamilton.
• Allowing extra stopping distance in morning fog.
• Expecting busier cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, and fuel stations.
• Spotting plenty of visitors from around New Zealand and beyond.
— alongside the fog, gumboots, rural innovation, machinery displays, and conversations about farming and the future of agriculture.
The "Mighty Waikato" certainly feels a bit busier this week. 🚜🌫️
Drive safely, be patient in the queues, and enjoy everything that Fieldays brings to the region. 🚜🌫️🐄
