Our History
AGnVET – Since 1915.
AGnVET was started in 1915 by Harry Walker in Forbes NSW. It has evolved over the past 100 years to a network of businesses in the broadacre cropping, irrigation and mixed farming areas.
Today AGnVET remains a proudly Australian owned independent agribusiness providing rural supplies and services.
