BASIS and FACTS qualified Agronomist specializing in low-input arable cropping. An expert in cold-climate agronomy and nitrogen use efficiency, he helps conventional farmers transition to regenerative systems without crashing yields.

Thomas is a field agronomist known for his pragmatic, risk-averse approach to reducing farm inputs. With a background managing a 2,000-acre mixed farm in Lincolnshire, he understands the pressure of "farming by the spreadsheet." He specializes in variable rate nitrogen strategies, cover crop destruction timing, and selecting disease-resistant varieties suited to the UK's damp maritime climate. Thomas guides clients through the "messy middle" of transition, focusing on maintaining gross margins during the years before soil biology fully recovers.
