Competition organization
Regional rounds are hosted by secondary schools with a vocational agricultural focus. The test part is prepared by experts from Mendel University in Brno, the test again consists of 30 questions focused on topics related to the field of agriculture. Specifically, students can prepare for these questions using the textbook for Young Farmers sent to them.

Course of the competition day
Each competitor will test their theoretical knowledge and practical skills:
• Theoretical test – timed knowledge test,
• Practical part – tasks at stations with an agricultural theme, for example, driving a tractor with an instructor, milking a cow on a simulator, or learning about crops.
The overall ranking is based on the sum of the results from both parts. In the event of a tie, the better result in the theoretical part will be the deciding factor, and if that is not the deciding factor, the shorter time taken to complete the test will be the deciding factor.
