2019 Award Recipients List

National Ambassadors

National Ambassadors and recipients of the Gordon Stephenson Trophy: Adrian and Pauline Ball of Dennley Farms

Adrian and Pauline run a 196 ha dairy and dairy beef farm in the Waikato. Aspiring to model low input, low footprint, high animal welfare values, the Balls have achieved best practice agronomy to optimise crop and animal yields without compromising environmental health.

Of entering the Ballance Farm Environment Awards, Adrian comments: “For our daughters to experience the awards has brought a deeper understanding of the sustainable journey our family has been on.

“It is always good to hear other people’s opinions about what you are doing. We have been involved with the sector for a while now, and it’s good to be positive and share our story. You never feel like you are ‘ready’ but having an understanding of the issues and options is important, and the awards offer that opportunity.
