With over 50 years of combined experience, we take pride in offering the most reliable and cost-effective advice to farmers, land agents and contractors in order to maximise output whilst minimising costs. Cropping advice covers all main arable, root and pulse crops as well as specialist planting on both arable and mixed enterprises.

Thinking about where a career in agriculture could take you?

We’ll be heading back to university this autumn to meet the next generation of agronomists and talk all things Indigro.

For us, recruitment fairs aren’t just about filling vacancies. They’re about meeting people who are curious about agriculture, want to keep learning and are looking for a career where they can make a real difference on farm.

If that sounds like you, come and have a chat with the team.

Whether you’re already set on a career in agronomy or still figuring out where your agricultural degree could take you, come and say hello.

We’d love to meet you.

🌾 What makes a great wheat crop?

It’s not just one decision - it’s every decision.

From planning the rotation and cultivation strategy to selecting the right variety, building soil organic matter, and managing w**d and disease pressure, every stage plays a vital role in producing a resilient and, most importantly, profitable crop.

We look at the whole farming system, and our advice focuses on:
🌾 Healthy soils
🌾 Balanced rotations
🌾 Variety selection
🌾 Cover crops and organic inputs
🌾 Targeted nutrition
🌾 Integrated pest management

By combining these approaches, we can often reduce reliance on crop protection products while maintaining crop performance and protecting the environment.

Our goal is simple: help growers produce healthy crops, maximise profitability and build farming systems that remain productive for years to come.

👋🏼 Meet the Team - Chloe

🌱 Background:
Chloe’s interest in agronomy started whilst working harvest jobs around school, before heading to Newcastle University to study Agriculture and Agronomy. Upon graduating, Chloe spent time travelling before beginning her career with Origin Fertilisers as a Technical Adviser.

She then spent three years at the National Farmers’ Union as Combinable Crops Policy Adviser, working out of Stoneleigh at headquarters. Whilst in this role, Chloe worked closely with members, supporting them through some very uncertain and challenging times - from Brexit and no deal scenarios to the beginning of Covid and what this meant for supply chains. Chloe also worked on chemical revocations, fertilisers and carbon, end markets, assurance schemes, environmental and future policy support.

Chloe then wanted to return to on-farm advice and joined us, where she could take a more active role in helping farmers navigate the challenges and opportunities ahead.

📍 Region:
Central & West

🌾 Crop focus:
Combinable crops

🏅 Qualifications:
BASIS Certificate in Crop Protection | FACTS Qualified Adviser

💬 What do you enjoy about agronomy?

“I’m passionate about independent agronomic advice and helping to bring land into balance on farm, with productive agriculture sitting alongside environmental and biodiversity measures.

For me, it’s about finding ways for all elements of modern farming and the countryside to work together.”

We hear a lot of people within our industry talking about regenerative farming, so at our Winter Conference we decided to brainstorm what our version of regen farming looks like.

And this is where we landed…

The conversation was interesting, because “regenerative farming” can sometimes come with a bit of baggage.

For some farmers, it can feel like a label attached to a particular way of farming - and that’s not how we see it.

We don’t just position ourselves as a regenerative agronomy business. We’re integrated crop consultants.

That means looking at every part of the farm, understanding where the grower wants to go and working out which practices make sense to get there.

That could include:
🌱 No-till farming
🌱 Cover crops
🌱 Crop rotation
🌱 Livestock integration
🌱 Plant diversity
🌱 Appropriate cultivation

But it could also mean direct drilling in one situation and a different cultivation strategy in another. Because we’re not interested in following a prescribed system.

We’re interested in what works for your farm.

The right decision for the right field, the right rotation and the right business.

Perhaps that’s where the conversation around regenerative farming needs to change. It doesn’t have to be a label.

It can simply be about finding better ways to integrate the productive, environmental and natural elements of a farming system.

That’s our approach. Integrated, independent agronomy.

If you’ve worked in agriculture for any length of time, there’s a good chance you’ll already know Rob and Roger... or perhaps both.

But what inspired them to start Indigro?

In this Reel, Rob and Roger share the story behind the business and the values that continue to shape how we work with growers today.

For Indigro, agronomy has never been about selling products.

It’s about understanding the farm, listening to the grower and providing honest, independent advice that works for the land, the crops and the business.

Those principles are still at the heart of Indigro today - combining experience, technical expertise and long-term thinking to help growers build resilient, profitable farming businesses.

Harvest 2026 is proving one thing already... no two farms are telling the same story. 🌾

Across the UK, it’s shaping up to be a real mixed bag. While some growers are pleasantly surprised by yields, others are seeing the impact of a prolonged dry spring and repeated heatwaves.

The biggest takeaway so far? Location has mattered more than ever.

From what we’re seeing:
1. Better land has generally held up better, but many growers are still reporting yields below what they’d typically expect.
2. Lighter, drought-prone land has been hit hardest by the prolonged dry conditions.
3. Oilseed r**e has been a real success story on the whole, while barley has delivered fairly average results. Wheat, however, is proving to be below average in many areas.

We’ll be sharing a more detailed post-harvest analysis once the season is wrapped up, but for now we’re keen to hear from those in the cab...

How’s harvest looking where you are? Vote in our poll below and let us know your experiences in the comments 👇🏼

🌱 Every farm is different, which is why there’s no one-size-fits-all approach.

We’ve been fortunate to work alongside Will at Lowick Farm, in Kettering, over a number of years - helping build a farming approach that works for their business, their soils and their challenges.

“The Indigro strategy has never been to stick with one ideology, it’s do what’s right at the right time”.

From improving soil resilience to making the most of on-farm resources like compost, it’s been great to see the impact of a long-term approach and the results it can bring.

Hear Will talk about his experience working with us on a wet day in February. Thanks for sharing Will!
