After a decade of on-farm experience working in multiple operational management roles, my practical experience gives me a strong knowledge of field operations across a variety of combinable cereals and oilseeds, through to onions and maize. I’m based in Suffolk, and will provide advice for customers throughout the South East.

Julia Andrews

Nutrition Agronomist Facts ADVISOR

My BSc in Agricultural Science at Lincoln University in New Zealand and experience as an arable advisor for one of New Zealand’s largest agricultural distributors puts me in a strong position to understand farmer’s needs. The many similarities between UK and New Zealand farming will allow me to help farmers become more productive with their fertiliser use.

Tom Wells

Nutrition Agronomist Facts trainee

After graduating from Harper Adams in 2011, I spent 6 years working full-time on our mixed family farm, before going into animal nutrition. I’m fortunate to be able to combine technical knowledge with practical experience of crop nutrition. Being AMTRA qualified I understand how better forage nutrition leads to improved animal health and performance. I am based in Lincolnshire and provide advice to customers throughout the Midlands.

Guillaume Franklin

Nutrition Agronomist
facts advisor

Since completing my BSc (hons) Agriculture at Harper Adams University in 2021 I have gained a wealth of experience and interest working with farmers, landowners and agronomists in applying fertilisers to a variety of cropping types. Being FACTS qualified allows me to make appropriate decisions for growers and their crops. I have a strong practical background working on dairy, beef and sheep farms whilst also more recently working within the arable and Anaerobic Digestion sector.
