The Country: Today we catch up with the Otago/Southland region winner for the FMG Young Farmer of the Year - Nigel Woodhead.

Today The Country's Jamie Mackay caught up with Otago/Southland finalist for the FMG Young Farmer of the Year, Nigel Woodhead.

Nigel has some big shoes to fill as a lot of winners have come from the Otago/Southland region. With the Grand Final only three sleeps away, what skills does Woodhead think he can bring to take out the title?

Nigel says he has paid his dues in the cowshed so reckons he has the dairy side of things covered. He chats to Jamie about what he perceives as his strengths and weaknesses going in to the Grand Final.

Have a listen to the full interview in the audio clip above.
