The Games

After a hearty breakfast, the participants spread out across the grounds of the Boerhaarshoeve.

They will find tasks and challenges that have been developed in collaboration with companies and VET schools. 

The tasks incorporate all kinds of agricultural skills. Tractor driving, adjusting and using machines, assessing livestock, etc. When carrying out the tasks, individual knowledge and skills are required, but also consultation and cooperation with the teammates. Sometimes it also comes down to a good portion of physical strength. The teams are ranked in order according to their performance. For the best performance of a single task,  20 points are awarded, runner up gets 19 points , then  18 etc. The last team receives 1 point. At the end of the second day, the points are added up and the winners are announced.
