Jeff Farm Scholarships

History

The Salvation Army own and manage (through a farm board) a substantial holding in the Kaiwera District near Gore, running some 21,000 stock units, comprising of Romney sheep, mixed breeding and finishing cattle and an increasing red deer herd. This property was bequeathed to The Salvation Army many years ago by the late Mr Jeff with some conditions, the principal clause being that “the farm and farm profits be used for the training of under‐privileged youths in farming.” The Salvation Army is very pleased to honour the wishes of Mr Jeff by offering The Jeff Farm Training Award to worthy applicants.
