Kate Gwilliam, marketing and sales manager for farm monitoring and sensing business Levno, said last year’s cancellation had added to the buzz. “In the Central Districts region over 80 per cent of dairy farmers are our customers. So it’s a really good opportunity for us to get in front of them, catch up with them, give them support and just engage with them.” The event was a good barometer of the rural economy, and she was expecting a “buoyant” event, especially since the dairy payout was strong and farmers were feeling more positive about life, she said.
