Today’s the day the motu will find out who is the best Maori dairy farmer for 2014.
A capacity crowd of 900 is expected at the Ahuwhenua Trophy Awards Dinner in Tauranga tonight.
Whanau of two of the finalists won’t have far to come.
Putauaki Trust’s Himiona Farm is near Te Teko, while Ngati Awa Farms’ Ngakauroa Dairy Farm is at Awakeri.
The third finalist, Te Rua o Te Moko Ltd, comes from Normanby in south Taranaki.
All three finalists are pooling the resources of a number of whanau trusts to bring their operations up to an economic scale.
