Ahuwhenua Trophy Receiving the Ahuwhenua trophy from the Member of Parliament for Western Maori, Mrs J. Ratana, is Mr E. R. Tamati, a Bell Block farmer. Mr Tamati won the award for the best Maori farmer in the dairy section of this New Zealand-wide competition. Mr Tamati was the first farmer in Taranaki to win the trophy. ‘It is a credit to Mr Tamati and his people that he is not a farmer under the supervision of the Department of Maori Affairs. This has demonstrated what young farmers can do on their own initiative to achieve a high standard of farming,’ said Mrs Ratana. The Muru Raupata concert party, which is usually led by Mr Tamati, presented a special action song dedicated to his success and the success of his people. Another young Maori farmer Mr T. P. Manu, received the third prize in the contest's dairy section from Mrs Ratana.
