In the latest edition of Business Rural South, Bradley Ray of Bruski Farms is proving age is no barrier as he prepares to compete for the Dairy Southland/Otago Dairy Manager of the Year title. Mid Canterbury mixed cropping farmer Hamish Marr has stepped down from his role as New Zealand’s Special Agricultural Trade Envoy, returning full-time to the Marr family farming business. South Island agricultural servicing business Molloy Agriculture has taken home the Excellence in Primary Industries award at the 2025 ANZ Ashburton Business Awards.
