final this year will be held on 22 and 23 March 2024 at the Solway Showgrounds. It will feature 20 teams from across the district in the FMG Junior Farmer competition and 35 teams in the AgriKidsNZ contest. The contestants could be tested on any aspect of modern farming across the entire supply chain. Only the top contestants from each regional final will qualify for a spot at July’s grand final in Hamilton. “This is their opportunity
to prove themselves and show the rest of New Zealand they have what it takes to be the best. Considering we’re a nation that prides ourselves on our farming know-how and expertise, that’s no easy feat,” said Coppersmith. Usually, a series of oneday district competitions kickstart the annual contest, but this year’s format looks a little different with both the district and regional competitions combined into one event.
Contestants compete in one of three categories depending on their age. Primary school students, some as young as eight, enter the AgriKidsNZ contest, while high school students, working in teams of two, are eligible for the FMG Junior Young Farmer of the Year competition. Those who’ve left school compete individually for a shot at rural stardom. The competition continues to evolve each year, attracting people from a range of backgrounds.
Proud to support our young farmers. Best of luck to each entrant!
