YOUNG farmers will be swapping the milking shed for the stage in April, when they take part in their own entertainment contest.

Radcliffe Civic Suite will host the Young Farmers Entertainment Competition on Sunday April 3, when groups of farming youngsters from across the region will perform one act plays.

The event, sponsored by Robert Wiseman Dairies, will start at 2pm, and judged during the afternoon. The winner of the regional eliminator will go on to a national final later this year.
