Hall of Fame
In 2006, the New Zealand Dairy Industry Awards was created to bring under one umbrella the long-running Federated Farmers Sharemilker of the Year, the Fonterra Westpac Dairy Excellence Awards and the Dairy Farmers of New Zealand Dairy Trainee of the Year. While the Sharemilker of the Year have had a national competition since 1989, the Farm Manager of the Year was a relatively new competition with their first national winner announced in 2003. The Dairy Trainee of the Year was an almost brand new competition at the time of the merge, with their first national winner crowned in 2008.
