Primex Field Days
Primex Field Days, one of Australia’s leading agricultural events, will be held from 15 to 17 May 2025 at the Richmond Valley Events Centre in Casino. Drawing more than 400 exhibitors, 1,200 companies, and over 30,000 visitors, it’s a hub of innovation, connection, and opportunity for the primary industries.
This year’s theme, “Our Future in Farming,” celebrates innovation, sustainability, and community in agriculture, spotlighting the evolving practices and technologies shaping the next generation of farming.
Southern Cross University has proudly partnered with Primex as its official education partner since 2021, delivering the NextGen program - an initiative that connects students with real-world experiences and pathways in agriculture, science, and engineering. The program provides direct access to schools across the region, inspiring the next generation of leaders in the primary industries.
Now celebrating its 41st year, Primex continues to bring together city and rural communities to showcase the future of sustainable Australian farming and food production.
