The popular King Farmer competition will help kick off this year's Roblin Ag Society Fair and Rodeo. 

The competition goes on Thursday, which is day one of the five-day fair.  

Roblin Ag Society President Dean Chescu says they have added a new wrinkle to this year's competition. 

"This year, the King Farmer competition is going to be a family affair.  Whether it is a father and son, or a grandfather and son, or even a mother and son, anybody that wants to come in and compete.  There will be a few twists and a few new things that they will have to do.  But nobody has even told me what they will be, so it will be a surprise to everybody." 

The fair goes from Thursday to Monday and also includes several days of rodeo action, pancake breakfast, a parade and a smoke-off competition.
