Warren has been a regular at the show, and so respected for his work, has been made an ambassador for the event.
In recent months he has been visiting rural properties and assisting in supporting people affected by the January fires.
Dubbed, the Unbreakable Farmer, Warren shares his story of his own mental health journey through the millennial drought that had a devastating impact on his farm, and talks about what was important to him in his recovery.
Warren will be speaking from the main stage at the Alexandra event, visiting the Murrindindi health van and mixing in the crowd.
Also on the main stage will be the official opening at 12.30pm, an auction at 2pm and trophy presentations at 3.45pm.
The auction has become one of the major attractions as a total of 90 donated items will be offered up, with proceeds going to bushfire relief.
The lots include a bed and breakfast holiday package for five people valued at about $2500, a tipper truck load of firewood, car/truck fridges and dozens of other items.
