Scott Bradley 
Kaiwhakaere Pāmu (Ōuruwhero) / Operations Manager (Ōuruwhero)  

I was born in Auckland and was brought up there until I was 12 and then went to Papua New Guinea for 3 years. After returning to New Zealand I lived in Morrinsville, where I came in to contact with dairy farming and have been farming ever since. I have farmed in the Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Hawkes Bay in the 10 years I have been farming. I have a wife and one gorgeous little girl named Tamera who is 15 months old. I have the great privilege of being Operations Manager of Ōuruwhero Farm, which is a 520-cow dairy farm in Te Awamutu. This is a beautiful farm with lots of potential, and a great asset for the Trust. My hobbies include paddock racing old cars, rebuilding old cars, and pit crewing on stock cars for Shane (Herd Manager, Ōuruwhero Farm). My interests are motor sport and aviation. I have my gliding licence and am progressing through my power flying licence as money allows. I also regard farming as an interest rather than a job.
