Leading agronomy firm ProCam has expanded its northern team of agronomists with the appointment of Alex Green in Yorkshire.

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 in Norfolk where his father worked as a farm manager, and from his early days has had a keen interest in all things agricultural. From working part-time on the farm in Norfolk, Alex progressed to studying for a degree in Agricultural Business Management at Newcastle University from where he graduated in 2016.

After graduating, Alex 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 in North Yorkshire. 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.

"I'm exceptionally pleased to join ProCam as a member of the company's agronomy team in Yorkshire," Alex explains. "ProCam is widely regarded as the region's premier agronomy company and one that offers viable solutions and services to support and address the challenges faced by modern farming systems.

"After a couple of months in the job I'm thoroughly enjoying working with growers throughout North and East Yorkshire to provide a tailored agronomy service which not only enables them to maximise the yield, quality and value of their commercial crops, but also to take full advantage of the Government's environmental schemes including SFI."
