McCaws Crowned Arable Champions | Christchurch News

John and Mel McCaw dominated the Arable Awards, winning both Arable Farmer and Seed Grower of the Year for their smart crop rotation, livestock integration, and sustainability focus — including trees, cover crops, and soil-friendly tillage. John also earned Arable Advocate of the Year for his industry leadership. Four new Hall of Fame inductees celebrated decades of impact: John McKay for building South Pacific Seeds, John McKenzie for pasture seed innovation, Eric and Maxine Watson for record-breaking wheat yields, and late agronomist Murray Kelly. Marty and Georgina Skurr took home the Innovation Award for stone-ground flour. Other big wins included the SCID Rebuild Team, Agronomist Sean Mulligan, and top wheat producers Darlings, Whites, and Kingsburys — a night of pure agricultural excellence.
