| Adamson s skill and competence as a breeder was recognized by the Canadian Jersey Cattle Club which awarded him its Constructive Breeder Award - in 1956, 1958 and in 1960. |
| Adamson had few equals and fewer peers, his farm being one of the finest family-farm set-ups in Nova Scotia, a fact recognized by the Nova Scotia Farmers Association by his having been selected to receive a Scotia Banner Farmer Certificate in 1935 and a Scotia Premier Farmer Certificate in 1938. |
| Adamson was one who took an active part in community affairs, in the Presbyterian Church, of which he was a faithful member, a farm leader whose opinions were respected in the councils of the Nova Scotia Farmers Association, and one who, indeed, left his mark indelibly imprinted on the rural community in which he lived. |
