Young farmer ready to challenge for top award
To Christchurch now where this Friday it's the Tasman Regional Final in the competition to find New Zealand's Young Farmer of the Year. And one of the young farmers having a crack at the contest is 21 year old Phoebe Smailes. Phoebe was born and raised on a sheep and beef farm, and she once set the record as the world's youngest sheep dog trialist. Now she's studying at Lincoln University in Christchurch, and she's with us.
