Halley and Green to talk at Whitby Dairy & Grassland Discussion group meeting

Alex Green, Agronomist, Procam (formerly Associate Farm Business Consultant, GSC Grays), will be talking about The Business of Farming and Ian, of Richardson & Smith, introducing the Ruswarp Cull Cow Collection service.

Alex, who is BASIS and FACTS qualified, joined ProCam at the beginning of 2025 as a fully qualified agronomist to provide specialist crop protection and nutritional advice to growers in North and East Yorkshire.

Alex grew up on an arable estate where his father worked as a farm manager, and from his early days has had a keen interest in all things agricultural.

He spent three years working for a farm business consultancy in Suffolk, specialising in farm budgeting, managing contract farming agreements and managing environmental schemes.

Alex then went on to work as a farm manager on a 4,000-acre mixed farm near Malton.

During his time in this role, which saw him taking responsibility for the farm’s cereals, oilseed and hemp rotation, overseeing a 1,500-lamb finishing enterprise and planning the farm’s input purchases, grain trading, property management and cropping and fertiliser planning.

Alex also gained his BASIS qualification, building on his FACTS qualification earned a few years before.

In his new role, Alex will work alongside the wider ProCam team of agronomists to offer expert advice in a range of crops including cereals, maize, potatoes, linseed and sugar beet.

The meeting is on from 7.45pm to 10pm.
