Meet our Convenor

Sarah Taylor

Opiki Young Farmers

I've been a member of NZYF for over 7 years, currently serving as the Manawatu district chair. In my second term, I've held various roles at club and district levels, such as vice chair, new member liaison, and more.

Originally from a small beef fattening block, I started my career in the dairy industry right after high school, appreciating the rural lifestyle and close-knit communities.

This year, I took on the role of convenor for our regional final at the Central District Field Days, aiming to showcase Young Farmers and create a memorable event, especially during the evening show where we'll determine our region's representative for the grand final.

Meet our Convenor

Kenzie Bellringer

Kenzie has been heavily involved in Young Farmers for around 10 years. During this time, she has been Chair of Inglewood Young Farmers for five years, Chair of NZYF Taranaki Manawatu for one year and Treasurer of Inglewood for one year. Kenzie has convened two District Contests as well competing in numerous and has been on three Regional Final committees.

Kenzie and her team plan to host a Regional Final that offers variety and challenges the competitors, while giving them the opportunity to upskill and get the most out of their Regional Final experience. She is looking forward to everyone getting together and being involved in a relaxed environment after our restrictions with COVID in 2022.
