Agronomy & farm advisory
Good farm advice starts with the soil, the field and the farm business as a whole. We help farmers and landowners across Devon and Cornwall make better use of their land and nutrients, meet their regulatory obligations, access the funding available to them and make sound decisions about the future of their business.
Our advice is practical and independent, grounded in agricultural science and in years of working on West Country farms.
What we can help with
- Agronomy – independent crop and grassland advice, from soil health and reseeding to crop protection planning.
- Nutrient and soil management plans – soil sampling, nutrient budgeting and manure and slurry planning, tailored to your land and stocking.
- Regulatory compliance – NVZ record keeping, the Farming Rules for Water and manure management, so you are ready for inspection.
- Grant applications – identifying suitable grant and funding schemes, preparing applications and supporting you through to claim.
- Farm business advice – gross margins, cost of production and enterprise mix, helping you understand where the business makes money and where it could do better.
- Integrated farm management – looking at the farm as a whole system, so that soils, livestock, cropping and the environment work together.
- Natural capital and nature-based solutions – practical measures that benefit soil, water and wildlife, and the income opportunities that can come with them.
Qualified advice
Our team includes FACTS qualified advice on fertiliser and nutrient use and BASIS qualified advice on crop protection, alongside chartered surveying expertise in rural property and land management.
Joined-up advice
Because our farm advisory work sits within a chartered surveying practice, it can be joined up with valuation, estate planning and land management where it matters – for example, where a grant, an environmental agreement or a change in farming system affects the value or future of the holding.
