The popular NSW Nationals steak sandwich fundraiser returned at this year’s AgQuip agricultural field day near Gunnedah.

Member for Tamworth Kevin Anderson said the pollies picked up the tongs for a good cause.

“AgQuip is the highlight of the NSW agricultural calendar, and a major boost to the region with 100,000 visitors who make their way to the region,” Mr Anderson said.

“It’s an opportunity for our farmers to connect, to share ideas, and to stay up to date with the cutting edge of farming technology.

“The event goes hand in hand with the sights and smells of a steak sandwich, with breeders battling it out to be the most popular sandwich of the week.

“This year, the National Party threw our hats back in the ring, offering our famous steak sandwiches, cooked by Nationals MP’s.”

This year, Mr Anderson was joined by NSW Nationals Leader Gurmesh Singh, Upper Hunter MP Dave Layzell, Kempsey MP Michael Kemp, Northern Tablelands MP Brendan Moylan, and Upper House Nationals Members Scott Barrett and Sarah Mitchell.

“It’s all for a good cause, helping raise funds for Gunnedah Family Support, who provide support for people experiencing homelessness, domestic violence, and those who need family support.

“The steaks have again been donated by Teys Australia Tamworth, who are proud to continue their involvement in our AgQuip fundraising drive.

“IIt was another great AgQuip this year with plenty of people flowing through the gates and a sellout at the Nationals stand!”
