Ballance Farm Environment Awards (BFEA) entrants are known for their innovation and the New Zealand Farm Environment Trust is reflecting this by taking an innovative approach to announcing this year’s award recipients.

Due to the nationwide Covid-19 response, the BFEA’s have replaced their remaining award functions with the release of regional announcement videos. Each Wednesday at 7.30pm, they release an announcement video on their YouTube Channel. Following each announcement, all the latest information and video links are available on their website.

Wednesday, 20 May	Taranaki
Wednesday, 27 May	Auckland
Wednesday, 3 June	Northland
Wednesday, 10 June	Greater Wellington

Congratulations to all of the regional award winners so far!

We are proud to be national sponsors of the BFEA's, an awards programme that recognises and celebrates good farm practices and promotes sustainable land management across the country.

The Hill Laboratories Agri-Science Award recognises excellence in the use of technology tools to increase productivity and minimise environmental impacts. This aligns with our focus to support sustainable farming and conserving the environment.
