HEAD OF AGRONOMY
Russell has worked in farming most of his life, since aged 11 in fact, where he launched his career on a pig farm, helping out at weekends. Russell has an agricultural degree from Harper Adams and since then he’s worked on farms in one capacity or another, from a harvest supervisor post with G’s, a farm manager at Coldham Estate in Cambridgeshire, to an agronomist at Frontier. A self-confessed geek, Russell relished the opportunity to become a BASIS qualified agronomist and won ‘reserve champion’ for the Barry Orme Shield award – a big deal in agronomy. He still partakes in training sprayer operators, farmers and agronomists in his spare time. His role at Terravesta is dedicated to helping growers to improve crop performance.To speak to Russell click here
