Contest plans likely<br />
to withstand Covid<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Planning is on track for the 2021 FMG<br />
Young Farmer of the Year contest,<br />
with district contests due to begin this<br />
weekend.<br />
New Zealand Young Farmers<br />
(NZYF) is confident the district<br />
contests, the first of which will be held<br />
on Saturday, can be held at either<br />
alert level 1or2,after adisrupted year<br />
when the annual contest was<br />
cancelled for the first time in its<br />
51year history because of Covid19.<br />
‘‘At level 2wewould have some<br />
protocols in place around managing<br />
social distance or even having<br />
spectators and contact tracing and<br />
sanitiser would be in place,’’ an NZYF<br />
spokesperson said.<br />
Organisers acknowledge there will<br />
be difficulties if the country has to<br />
move to alert level 3or4again.<br />
‘‘But, for the district contests, you<br />
are generally talking about pretty<br />
small numbers, so we think we can<br />
manage that,’’ the spokesperson said.<br />
Protocols are still being worked out<br />
so regional finals can go ahead if the<br />
country or local regions are in level 2<br />
at the time.<br />
Regional finals, which will be held<br />
from February to April, also include<br />
the FMG Junior Young Farmer of the<br />
Year and AgriKids regional<br />
competitions, so attract much bigger<br />
crowds.<br />
The first district contests, this<br />
weekend, will be in the Maniototo<br />
(Otago/Southland region) and the<br />
Waikato/Bay of Plenty region.<br />
The Tasman region contests are<br />
scheduled to be held on <strong>October</strong> 18<br />
(Tasman south) and November 14<br />
(Tasman north).<br />
Some of the venues are still being<br />
finalised after the recent cancellation<br />
of A&P shows.<br />
The 2021 grand final is scheduled to<br />
be held in Christchurch in July, after<br />
the region missed out on hosting this<br />
year’s showpiece.<br />
