Calling all Māori milkers – entries for the annual Ahuwhenua Trophy for Māori farmers and growers are open and this year, the focus is on dairy farmers.
The trophy was established 90 years ago to foster the growth and development of Māori in livestock farming and horticulture and rotates every year between the sheep and beef, dairy and horticulture sectors.
Entries are open until December 8, with initial judging in January and finalists announced at the end of February.
Ahuwhenua Trophy chair Nukuhia Hadfield says the competition is a great opportunity for Māori farmers, trusts and other entities to showcase their dairy farming operations, and not enough people understand the contribution that Māori farmers make, including more than 10 per cent of the total earnings of the dairy industry.
