Dayna Rowe manages the family dairy farm at Pongakawa in the Bay of Plenty. Rowe Farm is a 1000-cow operation on a 289-effective hectare milking platform. Dayna comes from a long line of dairy farmers and won Dairy Trainee of the Year at the 2021 Bay of Plenty Dairy Industry Awards. She was named runner-up in the same category in 2020. In a region which is known for its dry summers and wet winters, Dayna says the farm gets a lot of moisture, which helps get them through the drier months.
