13:30 pm on 27 April 2011

High commodity prices are having a positive effect on the national Fieldays in Hamilton.

With less than two months till the event starts, Fieldays general manager Barry Quayle says trade site and ticket sales are well ahead for this time of year.

''We're at a record level of 98% of all sites sold, about a month ahead. There's only a handful left,'' he said.

The National Agricultural Fieldays are held at Mystery Creek in Hamilton from 15 to 18 June.
