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.

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. September 19, 2024
