Benefits of a TAG Consultant
The foundation of the agronomy advice from a TAG consultant is the TAG research database. Knowledge of the comprehensive research programme across a large number of sites over many years gives TAG consultants a unique position over other agronomy services.
The local TAG consultant integrates trials data with his own local knowledge and experience to provide an individual service which will improve margins and optimise the efficiency of the farm business. In addition, the individual consultant has access to the wealth of knowledge and experiences of his colleagues within the consulting group.
Services
The TAG consultant can provide the client with:
- Crop and rotation strategies
- Labour and machinery planning
- Variety choice and cultivation strategies
- Cost-effective input selection for individual fields
- Fertiliser & nutrient management plans
- ELS guidance
- Regular newsletters to remind clients of action points
- Soil management and crop protection plans
The services which the TAG consultant provides are decided by the individual client. The consultant can have a regular, hands-on relationship with the farm business, or occasional strategic discussions as required, and the fee for the service will reflect the level of involvement.
