Perfect weather is forecast for the 31st event at Kings Park in Seymour, which gets under way today (Friday) and concludes on Sunday.

Event manager Jamie Gilbert said a huge range of exhibitors would be present, including experts on reducing environmental footprints and living off the grid.

“For a chance to hear from the experts on topics of specific interest, we’ve got talks running in the Learning Hub each day from 10am to 3pm,” Mr Gilbert said.

“And with mild sunny weather forecast for the weekend, and autumn the prefect time to get out on your property, the expo is a fantastic opportunity for green thumbs and small farm owners to check out the enormous range of plants, garden tools and machinery on display.”

Other attractions include an exhibition highlighting how specialised drone services are revolutionising land management, a vast array of animals and livestock, the Flipping Disc Dogs, cooking, butchery, working dog, wood-chopping and horsemanship demonstrations and, once again, the national whip-cracking championships on Saturday.
