6 - 8 AUG ‘25
LEETON NSW
1924 saw the planting of the first commercial rice crop in Australia. This milestone marked the
beginning of what was to become a century-long legacy in Australian agriculture. The pioneering effort, led by Riverina-based farmers, culminated in the harvest and sale of the first rice crop in 1925.
This centennial celebration honours the resilience and innovation of the early rice farmers and highlights the industry’s ongoing commitment to sustainable and efficient rice farming practices.
