A Canterbury farmer has become the first New Zealander to win a World Ploughing Championships title since 1982.
Bruce Redmond won the conventional stubble section at the championships in Methven at the weekend, edging out Scotland's Andrew Mitchell Junior.
Palmerston North farmer Paul Henson finished third in the reversible plouging event.
Organisers say the win is also the first time a competitor has won a world event on home soil.
More than 50 competitors, from 28 countries took part in the championships, held over the weekend.
