The search is on for the 2019 Kwanalu Young Farmer of the Year – and it could be you!

KZN’s agricultural union is on the hunt for the next upcoming farmer in its annual competition which offers a Toyota Hilux single cab bakkie as the top prize

As long as you are a full member of the province’s agricultural union and under the age of 40, any owner, partner or manager on the farm, male or female qualifies to enter.

The deadline for entries is July 31.

Kwanalu CEO Sandy La Marque said the judging and evaluation of the farmers and their agricultural practices takes place in August with the applicants being evaluated on all aspects of their business including their overall vision for the future of the farm/ business.

Although the size of the farmer’s enterprise is taken into account, judging is based on excellence with regards to how the young farmer executes his day to day business practices – no matter how big or small his/ her farm.

“We encourage all of our eligible members to enter this competition recognising the great skill and entrepreneurial spirit we have here in KZN,” said La Marque.

The winner will represent KZN at the Toyota/ Agri SA National Young Farmer of the Year competition.

The national winner will drive away in a Toyota Hilux Single Cab, among other prizes.
