“We are delighted to secure Southfuels/Northfuels sponsorship for the fast growing TeenAg area of New Zealand Young Farmers. With their support we are now in a position to offer a more challenging, exciting and sophisticated TeenAg Competition series for our members”, commented New Zealand Young Farmers Sponsorship and Marketing Team Leader Sarah Paton.

Southfuels/Northfuels complement the existing sponsor family which includes Telford Rural Polytechnic and Class Harvest Centres. Beef and Lamb New Zealand and Dairy New Zealand also fund the TeenAg programme.
