Award nominations open Nominations are open for the 2021 Fonterra Dairy Woman of the Year Award. The winner will follow in the footsteps of AshLeigh Campbell, who is the technical farm manager for Ngai Tahu’s eight dairy farms, plus support farms, at Eyrewell, near Oxford. The 29yearold said it was “a complete shock” to be named the youngest winner of the award this year. Dairy women are encouraged to nominate their role models in the industry before February for the 10th anniversary of the award. Finalists will be put before ajudging panel comprising Dairy Women’s Network trustee Sophie Stanley, 2019 Dairy Woman of the Year Trish Rankin and representatives from Fonterra, Global Women and Ballance Agri Nutrients. Dairy Women’s Network chief executive Jules Benton hopes that the award will open up to young women who haven’t had the onfarm experience of previous recipients, but can show commitment to the industry through other avenues. ‘‘One of our core values as an organisation is about seizing opportunities, and this year’s recipient, AshLeigh Campbell, demonstrates this in both her work and her attitude. ‘‘We hope that her success will encourage other young women in the industry to nominate their peers, and remember that there is no age limit.’’ Nominations can be made at dwn.co. nz/fonterradairywomanoftheyear.
