As president of the Winton Football Club, she was delighted when it was named Southland Football’s Club of the Year at an awards function last month.
She first became interested in the club when her sons Navarre and Travis played.
They have since grown and left, but she is still involved in the administration and gets a lot of pleasure out of it.
She and husband Grant run about 1200 commercial and stud ewes on their 160ha property at Forest Hill, near Winton.
Their Romney and Tefrom ewes are part of their Kinrae stud.
"Our Tefroms are one quarter East Friesian, one quarter Texel and half Romney.
"We want the East Friesians for mothering ability and high fertility, the Texels for the meat, fast growth and muscling and the Romneys for stability.
"Our breeding values are based on commercial management practices."
In addition, they grow oats, grass seed, wheat and barley, and peas for seed, under contract.
The farm has been in the Campbell family for more than 100 years and the couple have been farming the property for 13 years.
As well as facilitating an on-farm performance-based discussion group, Mrs Campbell has her own consultancy, Adaptive Health and Safety Ltd.
She is also the national community facilitator for Tahi Ngatahi, the wool harvesting industry’s health and safety programme.
"I help people to get the best use out of the programme."
Prior to setting up her own company she was an injury prevention consultant with ACC and was involved with testing the Tahi Ngatahi prototype at the 2017 World Shearing Championships in Invercargill.
She now attends wool events throughout the country to promote the programme.
It also forms part of the new wool grading certificate course and she was at Telford recently to tell students about it.
"I wanted to encourage them to become familiar with it and get them thinking about health and safety.
"It is part of New Zealand’s positive wool story and is about keeping people safe in the rural sector and keeping the industry professional."
