Veteran journalist Hugh Stringleman has been putting pen to paper for five decades, four of which were spent specialising in agriculture, here and in Australia. He’s the former editor and manager of The New Zealand Farmer and farm editor of The Press, Christchurch. Some big books were written along the way, and a small avocado and tamarillo orchard developed, now sold. He’s the most northerly representative over the whole CPL/NZX/GlobalHQ journey and still loving it. Golf and fishing are leisure activities. April 11, 2024
