To pay homage to the men and women who work the land, Farm Fantastic have launched the exciting competition Fantastic Farmer.
Fantastic Farmer will pit farmer against farmer in a battle of wits, farming knowlege, farming skills and fun challenges.
So are you up for the challenge? Here's what it's all about!
The elimination rounds!
There will be 4 elimination rounds and the best two out of each round totalling a final eight will go into the finals in the afternoon.
Electric fence obstacle course: Farmers are called upon to mend fences regularly, watch the sparks fly as contestants negotiate the course, while avoiding the fence.
Don’t kick the bucket: The entrant must be able to water the cows quickly. The entrant carts two buckets of water (without spilling a drop) as fast as possible around a series of obstacles to fill up the trough – and returns to fill his buckets again. The fastest runner who carts the most water back and forward in the shortest time wins.
The Final
And here the fun starts in earnest. In the grand arena at Farm Fantastic, egged on by an enthusiastic crowd of family, friends and supporters, entrants face ...
Muster Time: Build a pen, then herd Clara Cow and assorted other animals into the pen, while sculling a Solo squash ( spin-off of the great advertisement of the 1970s).
Barrow Burnout: Entrants push a wheelbarrow around an obstacle course.
Judges for Fantastic Farmer will be from throughout Queensland including representatives from Pan’s Rural Weekly, Morayfield Shopping Centre and a Hot Country Dalby Radio Station personality.
