Ben worked as an agronomist and farm trader for eight years at Frontier Agriculture and Agrii, before joining Dyson Farming full-time in September 2014.  He is now head of agronomy for Dyson Farming and responsible for managing a small, in-house team of three focused on agronomy, technology, precision agriculture, soils, and the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI).

Ben and his team work closely with four farm managers across the sites, who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Dyson farms.  Ben has full autonomy and responsibility for agronomy and inputs across the enterprises, which span 14,000ha of arable crops, root crops, vining peas and energy crops in Lincolnshire, Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire.  In his 10 years at Dyson Farming, Ben has built from scratch teams with expertise in agronomy, soil science and precision technology.
