He was one of the first farmers to realise the value of production forestry. He was co-opted for many years by the Ruakura Agricultural Research Centre for research work involving cattle and sheep on his properties. He was a pioneer of farming dairy bull calves. His influence in pioneering this type of farming has resulted in a substantial increase in beef production throughout New Zealand. He died in Tauranga on 20 August 2008.PersonL. M.
