Farm Machinery Display

Farmers from around the Nelson district flocked to Tasman on two days earlier this month to see as comprehensive a display of farm machinery and equipment as could be seen anywhere in the country. The display days were organised by the Moutere Hills Jaycee, an organisation which is becoming very prominent in country activities, A great success all round and one which may well become an annual event.
