Great, another farmer gets a pat on the back while the rest of us struggle with the cost of living. Must be nice.

piss off, he's a hard worker. Don't bring your negativity here.

Good on ya Tom, hard work pays off! Dairy farming is no joke, especially down south. 🐄

As a stock truck driver I see these young farmers out in all weather. Bloody deserved mate, well done.

Yeah but what about the poor cows? Bet they're not celebrating. Factory farming is a disgrace.

Another year, another competition that does nothing for actual farmers struggling with low milk prices.

Jack Morrison2026-07-06T01:04:51.000Z

Facts. Milk prices are cooked but that's not on the young bloke.

Inspiring! We need more young Kiwis getting into ag. Future of the country right there.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-06T01:24:51.000Z

a life, it's just a feel-good story. Let the bloke have his moment ffs.
