The Gardyne Family has been growing oats north of Gore for five generations.
They also farm sheep, wheat, peas, radishes, barley, rye and nui grass but it's their oats that get all the attention.
Plant Research New Zealand is naming a new oat variety after the family in recognition of their generational services to the industry.
Grower and Oat Industry Chairman Graeme Gardyne shares the family story with Jesse.
