Harcourts Rural Ambassador Awards The Royal Agricultural Society, the umbrella organisation for all A & P Societies in NZ and Breed Societies recently undertook their Central District Zone selection for the Harcourts Rural Ambassador Awards. Contestants were put through their paces by a panel of respected judges from throughout the local rural sector at an evening event held at the Harcourts Rangiora Office. This programme has a proud history dating back to the 1990s. It has been a national based competition until recent years, when it was extended to Australia. This has elevated the prestige of the award even further, and it is very highly sought after by those seeking to propel their agricultural careers forward. This year the NZ final is in Wellington. This award recognises excellence among young people, aged between 20 to 30 and who are active within the A & P showing movement.
Congratulations Nicola Lee
In a very tight contest Nicola Lee from Ashburton emerged as our Central District Zone representative and will be off to Wellington to compete with other regional winners.
