Humorous videos captured about rural New Zealand could win the film maker a new iPad 2.

To celebrate the lighter aspects of farming life, Federated Farmers is giving away an iPad 2 for the winner of its inaugural funniest farming video competition.

Videos such as this one are being asked for in a Federated Farmers competition.

'This competition is a chance for Kiwis, from both the city and the country, to showcase the humorous side of New Zealand's farming world,” says Federated Farmers chief executive Conor English.
'Farming is critical to New Zealand's success, but our rural areas are also the source of many light hearted events.

'We figure there are enough people with funny videos floating around on digital cameras, phones and laptops.

'You might even want to make one just for this competition.
'The winner will get a brand spanking new iPad 2 to play around with and that's not a prize to be sneezed at.

'I can't wait to see what our entrants come up with.”
