With the world’s attention focused on the Olympic Games in Brazil, a decidedly different type of competition was held in a small corner of New England Tuesday, as farmers took to the field for the second annual Farmer Olympics in Vershire, Vt. After taking part in warm-up events that included a hay bale toss, the crowd gathered for an opening ceremony, where a quartet performed the Olympic theme song on kazoo. When the competition began, 60 farmers sprinted up a steep hill, empty bins and shovels in hand, for the Manure Relay. The event was sponsored by the Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont. In the end it was a team from Cedar Circle Farm in East Stepford that took the gold. Their team’s name? Soil’d.
