Fiancé finalists to square off
Steph Le Brocq and Sam Allen, a bride and groom-to-be, are among those set to face off in regional finals across New Zealand in the hopes of being named the Young Farmer of the Year.
Open Farms is calling on farmers to sign up to host an open day event on their farm this year.
Daniel Eb, Open Farms founder, says the initiative is about creating meaningful connections between farmers and consumers.
“We want farmers to feel confident and excited to host an event, no matter the scale,” Eb says.
“We support farmers from planning what the day will look like, right through to marketing,” he adds.
“After 14,000 visits, 130 events and great feedback across the board, now is the time to share your pride and passion for farming with others.”

Meat co-operative, Alliance has met with a group of farmer shareholders, who oppose the sale of a controlling stake in the co-op to Irish company Dawn Meats.
Rollovers of quad bikes or ATVs towing calf milk trailers have typically prompted a Safety Alert from Safer Farms, the industry-led organisation dedicated to fostering a safer farming culture across New Zealand.
The Government has announced it has invested $8 million in lower methane dairy genetics research.
A group of Kiwi farmers are urging Alliance farmer-shareholders to vote against a deal that would see the red meat co-operative sell approximately $270 million in shares to Ireland's Dawn Meats.
In a few hundred words it's impossible to adequately describe the outstanding contribution that James Brendan Bolger made to New Zealand since he first entered politics in 1972.
Dawn Meats is set to increase its proposed investment in Alliance Group by up to $25 million following stronger than forecast year-end results by Alliance.
