Ben came on board with Farmanco in October 2016 after working for over three years on both John Deere and Case IH machinery dealerships. He runs his own Precision Agriculture business and is contracting his services to Farmanco.
Ben is based in Dongara but can travel to clients all over WA. He chose to start a business outside of a dealer for the flexibility to investigate and coordinate across the spectrum of precision ag products and services. He is enjoying the additional information coming from the Farmanco agronomy and farm management team which is advancing his work in the field.
Ben has a keen interest in simplifying operations for the operator and grower and likes to get in machinery seats occasionally to refine his strategies
