Waikato Bay of Plenty Young Farmer Hugh Jackson is “over the moon” after securing the title of
New Zealand’s top young farmer.
A community gem and dedicated Young Farmers member, the 26-year-old sheep and beef
farmer was crowned the 57th FMG Young Farmer of the year on Saturday evening after a nail-biting Grand Final event in Invercargill.
This was Jackson’s second time as a Grand Finalist – his dream was to win FMG Young
Farmer of the Year, and entering this year meant now or never.
With challenges that included exams, interviews, heavy machinery, livestock, quizzes, and
public speaking, all seven Grand Finalists were head-to-head as they attempted to gain a pointscoring advantage over their competition.
