We're working with a well-established, independent agronomy business that lets you work the way you know works best. Just honest, practical agronomy and the freedom to run your own client base.
They're looking for another Agronomist to join their close-knit team, where everyone's voice counts. Our client are after a confident, knowledgeable Agronomist who wants more control over how they work - someone who's not only technically solid but also genuinely values long-term relationships with growers. Proven experience as an Agronomist, with a track record of supporting arable clients - ideally across a mix of cropping systems.
• A good understanding of the challenges facing UK arable farming, particularly around environmental pressures, policy changes, and market volatility.
• Ideally, some experience or interest in regenerative or sustainable agriculture - many of the clients are leaning in this direction, and our client is supporting them on that journey.

• Visiting farms regularly, building close relationships and offering practical, data-driven guidance throughout the growing season.
• Tailoring recommendations based on soil health, environmental needs, crop objectives, and farm-specific goals - not what's sitting in a warehouse.
• Staying up to date with industry developments, environmental legislation, and best practices - and passing that knowledge on to your clients in plain English.
