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.
