When he found out they had won, he was "pretty proud" all the hard work had paid off.
His farming knowledge had come from helping out on his grandparents' farm as a youngster, as well as from his teammate, Ollie said.
While the "good mates" had only competed in the Junior Young Farmer of the Year a few times, they had taken part in farming events together since they were in primary school.
"We've just done it ever since and done quite well, so we just stuck to it and kept training," Josh said.
"Each year we've been getting better and better."
Studying for the challenge had been much easier with a friend, and there was no shortage of "banter", Josh said.
From growing up on a sheep, beef and cropping farm, he had learnt a lot from helping his father from a young age, he said.
He credited a lot of the team's success to having great mentors — his parents, Nic and Paul — both of whom had won Farmer of the Year titles.
As for the future, they had no plans to stop competing together, and were also looking at careers in the industry, they said.
While Ollie has a keen interest in driving heavy machinery, Josh plans to engineer them.
