Congratulations to the Camden West Rural Fire Brigade, winners of the 2012 RAS Young Farmer Challenge at the Sydney Royal Easter Show. Well done to the team: Scott Vale (Captain), Tim Boardman, Robert Boardman and Brenton Nicholson.
Teams of four young farmers, or others working in the agricultural industry, aged between 18 and 35 years put their technical skills and knowledge to the test in this action packed, fast-paced event.
The Young Farmer Challenge is designed to promote excellence in farming and showcase the involvement of youth in agriculture.
The Young Farmer Challenge will showcase the skills, equipment and techniques farmers use everyday through a set of practical field activities. Emphasis is placed on completing each Challenge with the best time but more importantly – with the correct technique and safe work method.
