Invercargill put on an outstanding Grand Final and saw a huge number of past and present competitors come to celebrate the 50 years and witness the crowning of the 50th Grand Champion. We kicked off the season in October 2017 with 21 district contest and skills days being held around the country, throughout the seven regions, with the top eight from each region coming together to battle it out at their regional final. In May we brought the seven grand finalists together for the first time to meet each other and learn all about the challenge of Grand Final ahead. Then at the start of July they meet again in the mighty south ready to battle it out for the 50th FMG Young Farmer of the Year Champion’s title. Logan Wallace of the Otago/Southland Region took home the title, followed by Cameron Black of Aorangi in second place and Josh Cozens of Waikato/Bay of Plenty in third. We are lucky to have so many wonderful and hard working volunteers who dedicate so much of their time to helping with all of these events. We would like to especially thank the Invercargil City Council, Invercargill licencing trust, Venture Southland and all the other local supporters who helped make our event a huge success.

This year the Grand Final week took place in Invercargill. James Goodwin was the Grand Final convenor and did an excellent job leading his committee to organise and execute a very successful Grand Final. This year with the change in Contest Board structure and the NZ Young Farmers events team working more closely with the Grand Final committee we were able to ensure key elements were met and the high level of event we aim to put on for all the industry partners was achieved. The contestants competed in the following challenges over the week.

  • CANNABIS REFERENDUM 2020 Introduction
    Media Analysis NEW ZEALAND CANNABIS REFERENDUM 2020 Introduction This analysis looks at 281 New Zealand-based media articles and opinion pieces as they appeared online during the cannabis referendum campaign period between May and October 2020. The objective was to assess the extent to which the set of articles and op-eds, as a whole, provided balanced coverage of both sides of debate – consistent with the New Zealand Media Council’s first principle of “accuracy, fairness and balance.”1 All the articles obtained were based on the list provided by NZ Politics Daily, a comprehensive, non- partisan list of articles, columns, and analysis relating to New Zealand politics and government, produced by the Democracy Project at Victoria University Wellington. This list was used to maintain the neutrality of the analysis and to avoid any accusation of searching for articles that leaned to one side or the other of the debate. There were 203 news items and 78 opinion pieces. Accuracy, fairness and balance was assessed across a variety of measures: the headline used, the number of people quoted within each piece arguing one or other side of the referendum question, and the proportion of content arguing each side of the campaign issues. Experts who quoted research or data were considered to be neutral. Any observed imbalance in the content or coverage across the set of news items and opinion pieces is interpreted as evidence of overall bias in reporting on the referendum question. The report was commissioned by Family First New Zealand. The analysis has been audited by an Emeritus Professor who specialises in research methods and statistics.
