Gore farmer Neil Gardyne has won a leading Australasian
business management award for the transformation of his mixed
farm's operation.
Mr Gardyne has been presented with the 2010 Executive
Development Program (EDP) management project award at the
graduation of 34 leading primary producers from around New
Zealand and Australia who recently completed the programme in
Sydney.
The winning project, titled Expanding Our Horizons, focused
on effectively re-allocating time and resources in his
farming operation to both reduce overall workload and
increase profit on several levels of the business.
His farm has 466 hectares of mixed sheep, cattle, and cereal
crops, and in addition he runs a small business, Flashfert,
selling coal ash as fertiliser.
Mr Gardyne said his management project aimed to increase
profit from farming - while reducing the workload - so he
could allocate time and money to building secondary
businesses.
