Cameron Smith has secured the final spot in the FMG Young Farmer of the Year Grand Final for Season 57, claiming the win in the Otago Southland FMG Young Farmer of the Year Regional Final over the weekend.
The 28-year-old self-employed dairy farmer, who milks 600 cows near Awarua, was crowned the Otago Southland FMG Young Farmer of the Year after a full day of challenges at the Winton Racecourse.
This marks Smith’s first time qualifying for the prestigious Grand Final – a major milestone in an already impressive year.
A Lincoln University graduate with a Bachelor of Commerce in Agriculture, Smith was also named the 2024 Otago Southland Share Farmer of the Year in the New Zealand Dairy Industry Awards. Now, the 2025 FMG Young Farmer of the Year regional title adds another achievement to his growing list.
