Independent agronomy rooted in trust, experience, and farmer-first values.
Smart-Ag Ltd was founded in 2025 by agronomist Ben Mead with one clear goal, to return control to the people who know their land best – farmers.
Who We Are
After years in the traditional, supply-linked agronomy system, Ben saw an opportunity to better serve farmers, by putting their needs, not sales targets, at the centre of crop advice. Frustrated by the limitations of a product-driven model, he founded an independent consultancy built on trust, transparency, and a genuine commitment to helping farmers succeed.
Ben brings a practical, hands-on approach shaped by real-world field experience and a strong belief in science-led, progressive decision-making. At Smart-Ag Ltd, he combines crop-walking expertise with modern tools, satellite imagery, drone tech, and digital nutrient planning, to deliver clear, unbiased recommendations farmers can trust.
