While the fruits of the land will be front and centre, children will also be catered for with an all-day ticket to side-show alley on sale for $35.
The baby competition may no longer be a part of the show but the vintage tractor pull has been added to the event list.
Starting out as a demonstration last year, it's become a fully-fledged competition this year.
"We're hoping to get 30 tractors," farmer Chris Moloney said.
Tractors ranging from 10 to 100-plus horsepower are expected to take part, and a demonstration of International McCormick Deering tractors is planned.
"JJS Glass and Co were very big International dealers and the first tractor they ever sold was to the Kanaley family at Marinna in 1929," Mr Moloney said.
It was hoped the tractor could be fired up and would feature in the display.
At last year's display two linked International A554s out-pulled everything and this year Dan Moloney is bringing three A554s linked together as part of the demonstration.
"We put a lot of grain in with them in the 1970s," Dan Moloney said of the A554s.
After seeing a photo with three tractors, he thought it'd be interesting to see what happens.
