Welcome to Will Oliver Agronomy, where independent agronomy advice and hands-on farming experience come together to help you maximise the potential of your land. My name is Will Oliver, and I provide tailored agronomy services designed to meet the specific needs of your farm. With years of practical experience managing the agronomy on our own family farm, I understand the challenges and opportunities faced by today’s farmers and offer solutions that are grounded in and backed up by on farm experience.

 Why Choose Will Oliver Agronomy?

 I bring a combination of BASIS and FACTS qualifications, backed by extensive practical experience. In addition, I’ve earned Accredited Professional status from Land App, demonstrating my dedication to sustainable land management and agronomy best practices. I’m also a proud member of the Association of Independent Crop Consultants (AICC), which means my advice is fully independent and leaves me free to recommend products based on its merit. My goal is to help your farm succeed by offering honest, unbiased guidance that is focused on improving your productivity and sustainability.

 Grass Weed Control

 One area where I have had great success is in controlling blackgrass and other problematic grass weeds. These weeds can be a major headache for farmers, but with the right approach, they can be managed effectively. I’ve developed tried-and-tested strategies for tackling blackgrass and other persistent weeds, helping to protect your crops and boost your yields. Whether through tailored herbicide programs or integrated weed management techniques, I can offer solutions that are both effective and sustainable.

 Organic Manure Specialist

 I’m also highly experienced in the use of organic manures to improve soil health and increase crop yields. Organic manures such as:

- Poultry manure

- Farmyard manure (FYM)

- Digestate

- Sewage sludge

 These products can offer significant benefits, not only as a nutrient source but also for enhancing soil structure and long-term fertility. By integrating these organic inputs into your nutrient management plan, I can help you get the best results while keeping input costs down. I can also assist with sourcing high-quality organic manures, ensuring you get reliable products that are tailored to your farm’s specific needs.

 Comprehensive Soil Sampling

 Understanding your soil is key to unlocking your farm’s potential, and that’s why I offer soil sampling services to provide in-depth insights into your soil’s health. I assess essential soil properties, including:

 - Major Nutrients

- Organic matter content

- Nutrient levels

- Carbon assessments

- Tissue Analysis

- Manure Analysis

 These tests can help you optimise your fertilisation strategies, improve soil structure, and even assess your farm’s carbon footprint. With the increasing focus on sustainability and carbon sequestration, having accurate data about your soil’s carbon content can help you make informed decisions and even explore opportunities for carbon trading or certification.

 Tailored Agronomy Advice

No two farms are alike, and that is why I believe in providing fully tailored agronomy advice. I take the time to understand your farm’s unique needs, including your crop rotations, soil conditions, and long-term goals. Whether you’re looking to improve yields, reduce input costs, or enhance your farm’s sustainability, I will work with you to create a strategy that’s right for your operation.

 My approach is rooted in practical farming, but it’s also informed by ongoing education and a commitment to staying up to date with the latest agronomy developments. I regularly attend courses and workshops, including recent training on reducing ammonia emissions and managing resistant weeds, so you can be confident that my advice is based on the most current research and industry best practices.

 Independent, Cost-Effective Solutions

 As a member of the AICC, I provide completely independent agronomy advice. Many agronomists are tied to chemical companies and may push products that aren’t necessarily the best fit for your farm. My focus is always on finding solutions that are right for you, not on promoting specific brands or products.

 I can also help you source inputs at competitive prices. Whether you’re looking for crop protection products, fertilisers, or organic manures, I have a network of trusted suppliers to ensure you get high-quality products at the best possible price. This allows you to make informed decisions and keep input costs down without compromising on quality.

 Sustainable, Profitable Farming

 At Will Oliver Agronomy, I believe that sustainable farming doesn’t have to come at the cost of profitability. In fact, by improving soil health, optimising input use, and managing pests and weeds more effectively, I can help you optimise yields while also reducing waste and minimising environmental impact.

 I’m passionate about helping farmers like you get the most out of your land, and I have a proven track record of supporting farm businesses to improve their efficiency and profitability. From tackling difficult weeds like blackgrass to making the most of organic manures, I’m here to help you take your farm’s performance to the next level.

 Thank you for considering Will Oliver Agronomy. Whether you need advice on blackgrass control, soil sampling, or how best to integrate organic manures into your nutrient management plan, I’m here to offer independent, expert guidance that’s tailored to your farm’s specific needs.
