Organisers of the 2014 three-day event reported crowd numbers similar to 2013, as visitors consistently filled the vast array of tracks at the site.
Elmore Field Days president Frank Harney said the committee could look to expand on opportunities to get younger people involved in organising and operating parts of the event.
"There could be an opportunity for the Future Farming Network to become involved next year, which encourages people aged 18 to 35 to get actively involved," he said.
"We really want to embrace the next generation and make sure we have a succession plan in place.
"I'm one of the younger ones in our committee at the moment."
Exhibitors in the Taste More and Agribusiness pavilions enjoyed particularly strong field days.
Mr Harney said they could look to further expand the Taste More pavilion for next year.
"We just wanted to test out the concept this year and see how it went. The exhibitors were almost run off their feet," he said.
"There could be more space added, we'll call for expressions of interest and see how it goes from there.
"Overall, it seemed like it was another huge success. Talking with exhibitors, they were mostly delighted with how it went."
The committee would now begin the arduous task of dissembling the carefully put together pavilion displays over the coming weeks.
The rest would be short-lived however, with another major event at the Elmore Events Centre in December.
Mr Harney said the highlight of the three days was seeing the Elmore community work together.
