Congratulations Tor and ShonaCongratulations to Tor Pedersen of Broomore Farm in Raglan who has been announced as the Regional Supreme Winner at the Waikato Ballance Farm Environment Awards at Lake Karapiro this evening.
Tor is continuing his family’s dedication to balancing environmental stewardship with profitability. This commitment is evident in efforts to protect and enhance waterways through fencing, expanded riparian setbacks, and even relocating the main race to improve stream health. The judges were particularly impressed by Tor’s deep understanding of livestock movement and his proactive approach to adapting infrastructure and forest and land management practices to improve waterway protection.
Animal welfare is a top priority, with animal breeds carefully matched to the farm’s challenging topography. This is supported by a herd-breeding policy focused on animal health and liveweight. Judges commended Tor’s strong understanding of cow health and production metrics, as well as his effective use of industry tools to guide decision-making.
Enhancing water quality is at the heart of every management decision on the farm, reflecting Tor’s strong understanding of how on-farm actions impact downstream ecosystems. He isn’t waiting for regulations – he simply wants to do the right thing for the environment. This commitment is delivering tangible results, with the farm’s participation in a NIWA water quality monitoring initiative confirming excellent stream health.
In awarding the Regional Supreme Award, judges observed that Tor’s inspiring approach to farming reflects his understanding of how his actions impact the environment, farm productivity and the wider community. They were excited by Tor's journey, noting the broad scope and high quality of the initiatives implemented across the farm.
