contents We give results on the asymptotic in Waring's problem over function fields that are stronger than the results obtained over the integers using the main conjecture in Vinogradov's mean value theorem. Similar estimates apply to Manin's conjecture for Fermat hypersurfaces over function fields. Following an idea of Pugin, rather than applying analytic methods to estimate the minor arcs, we treat them as complete exponential sums over finite fields and apply results of Katz, which bound the sum in terms of the dimension of a certain singular locus, which we estimate by tangent space calculations.
