FMG Jr Young Farmer of the Year

This competition is open to all secondary students in Years 9–13. The FMG Jr Young Farmer of the Year (previously TeenAG) aims to introduce and promote a positive picture about agriculture and agricultural careers from an early age. The goal is to show the stimulating and fun side of agriculture to students from all walks of life, you don't need to be off a farm, you just need to have a love of the land and be keen to get your hands dirty. Participants can become members of a TeenAg Club through their school or can join when they compete in the FMG Jr Young Farmer Competitions.

There will be 7 Regional Finals held throughout New Zealand in each of the New Zealand Young Farmers regions. Students will compete in teams of two in eight different modules based on all aspects of the agriculture industry. Modules could include: animal anatomy, fencing, meat cut I.D, gun safety, equine, agronomy, feed budgeting, chainsaw assembly and the list goes on. It's all about getting involved and having a go at something you may never have tried before!
