Walter Yardley played a prominent part in A&P Association activities, the Farmers’ Union and local enterprises in Southland and was recognised as a judge and breeder of Romney sheep and light horses. After leaving Canterbury Agricultural College in 1912 he farmed in the south, first on his father’s holding, Fairlight Station, and later as manager of Kippoch Estate, Moa Flat, which Mr Yardley Snr purchased in 1914.
