Home Grown Is The Best
That home grown maize is the best was proved by the first three placings in the Olin National Maize Awards going to Poverty Bay growers. This Olin sponsored competition is held annually to encourage higher standards in maize cropping with that company's product. The awards were presented by Federated Farmers' dominion president John Kneebone.
