Day out at Fieldays leads to ute win
Out of more than 80,000 entries, Daniel Neil from Piopio has been announced as the lucky winner of the Isuzu D-MAX LX Double Cab 4WD Ute in this year’s Fieldays Ute giveaway.
The scholarship, established in 2012, is funded by the New Zealand National Fieldays Society and is worth up to $22,000 for one year of study.
It is aimed at graduate students undertaking research in the agricultural sector at the University of Waikato.
Last year's recipient Danielle Lelievre is researching the development of flavour in the G3 cultivar of kiwifruit, a replacement for the T Hort16A kiwifruit that had been severely impacted by the Psa virus.
Applications for this year's scholarship close on March 31, 2016.
