It went down to the wire in the East Coast regional final of the FMG Young Farmer Contest last weekend says Te Radar.
Held in Waipukurau it was fiercely contested with two draws, one for second and third and the other for fifth and six.
In the end Hamish Best took out the competition, after being "devastating" in the agri-knowledge quiz according to Te Radar.
The regional final competitions are taking a break over Easter and Radar will be back in three weeks' time to compere what is "shaping up to be a great contest" at the Taranaki Manawatu final.
