A Waikato farmer is building a museum on his farm to preserve memorabilia from New Zealand's oldest introduced sport - tug-of-war.

Graham Smith has a dairy farm 50 minutes south of Hamilton.

He is also a passionate advocate for a sport which is dwindling. He's preserving the memory of tug-of-war in case one day it sparks up again.

He talked to Country Life producer Carol Stiles about his sporting passion.
