Royal Agricultural Society NSW CEO Brock Gilmour says the farmers and exhibitors at the Sydney Royal Easter Show are “very competitive” but the “best of mates”.
Mr Gilmour joined Sky News Australia to discuss the show’s successful turnout this year.
“I think the most important element of our show is the fact that we’re an agriculture show first and foremost,” he said.
“It’s all about our farmers and exhibitors – this year our exhibitor numbers are well up on previous years.
“They’re very competitive when they’re in competition mode but when we’re outside of that competition mode, they’re all the best of mates.”
You know, our farmers, you know, and our exhibitors, they're very competitive when they're in competition mode. But when they're outside of that competition mode, they're all best of mates.
But obviously, you know, the price of red meat is down, but it is increasing. So they've got a very positive outlook moving forward. But, you know, that's what farmers are like. They're so resilient.
Yeah, farmers are definitely resilient. Okay, well, with the show, it sounds amazing. How do people come and get tickets to the show?
Holly.

Thanks for having me, Holly.
