Hamish Stewart

I am 18 years of age and originally from Marton. I grew up around farming and wanted to make a career in the industry from a young age. My father and the rest of the Martin farming community greatly influenced my decision to get into farming. Enrolling at Waipaoa was a good option for me as it is the best possible start to establishing a career in the sheep and beef sector. If Waipaoa wasn’t an option, I would have gone to Lincoln to study a Diploma in Agriculture. My interests include farming, deer stalking, duck shooting and rugby. My ultimate car would be a Shelby GT. I like watching Two and a Half Men on Wednesday nights, my favourite movie is Pearl Harbour and my favourite food is venison burgers and chips. The only music you won’t catch me listening to is rap – I like all other styles. If I could choose any actor to play me in my life story it would be Clint Eastwood. If I had the opportunity to meet anyone famous, I’d like to have a chinwag with Sir Tim Wallis - the original deer industry pioneer. In ten years time I’d like to be managing a sheep and beef station or leasing a block of land and working towards buying my own block.
