The John Daniell Memorial Trust was set up in memory of John Daniell to recognise his significant contribution to the New Zealand farming industry along with his enthusiasm and philosophy in all aspects of pastoral farming.
Its aim is to provide or assist people and projects that will have a wide benefit to the Wairarapa farming community.
The Trust is the lead sponsor of the Wairarapa Sheep & Beef Shepherd of the Year Competition, and awards Kellogg Rural Leader Scholarships annually, along with holding the 50th Anniversary celebration of the Wairarapa Romney Improvement Group.
