Former Victorian Farmers Federation president and Wimmera farmer David Jochhinke said it was a "proud uncle moment" when his nephew used the header to harvest grain for the first time on his Victorian property.
Mr Jochinke, who is the vice president of the National Farmers Federation, captured the moment of his nephew, Zachary Wickson, recently when he used the header to harvest lentils at Murra Warra, north of Horsham.
"Too bad out doesn't count towards your learner hours, but does count towards your life skill repertoire," he said.
