"We’ve worked really hard to change that dial to be more of a grower event as well," Nation notes.

Outgoing New Zealand National Fieldays Society Chief Executive Peter Nation catches up with Dom to reflect on his storied career and his reasons for stepping down. 

Reflecting on his nine-year leadership, Nation emphasises the significant advancements in agricultural technology and the challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

He highlights innovations such as the health and well-being centre, digital ticketing systems, and the increased focus on agricultural technology as standouts during his time at Fieldays. 

Nation delves into his future in consultancy and involvement with the Chamber of Commerce in Waikato but says he will always have positive memories working in the Ag sector.
