Tocal will receive $70,000 as part of a $2.7 million Federal Government package designed to assist cancelled field day events.

The package will also provide the Association of Agricultural Field Days Australasia (AAFDA) $100,000 to hold a member conference in 2021 and provide training and assistance for members on recovery management planning.

Tocal Field Days manager and secretary of AAFDA, Wendy Franklin was instrumental in obtaining the funding. She initially pushed for funding to support AAFDA's 21 member field day organisations, so said it was a huge coup to have $70,000 available to all field day events across the country.

"All of those events do a lot to support regional areas," she said. "So this is a really great outcome.

"Field days are largely run by volunteers and some of them had to cancel days out from their event this year losing up to hundreds of thousands of dollars."

Tocal Field Days was scheduled to be held in early May but was called off in March as COVID-19 restrictions were introduced. Last year, Tocal attracted more than 21,000 visitors and suppliers, putting $40,000 back into community groups.

"Field days play a vital role in educating the community about the importance of agriculture and make a valuable contribution to social fabric and the economy of rural and regional communities," Ms Franklin said.

"We don't exactly know when we will be able to hold our next event, but this funding will help ensure we can continue to return bigger and better than ever for our local communities."

The funding is part of a larger $39 million program to help show societies and field days deal with financial pressures caused by COVID-19 under the government's $1 billion COVID-19 Relief and Recovery Fund.

Minister for Agriculture David Littleproud said he will continue to urge his state and territory counterparts to make a contribution to help agricultural shows and field days survive because of the positive impact they had on their economies.
