Yara Ireland welcomes John Hegarty as Crop Nutrition Account Manager for Connacht, Donegal, and the western side of Northern Ireland. As part of his varied role, John will be working with farmers in an agronomic advisory capacity, ensuring they are applying the nutrients their farm needs with a focus on nutrient use efficiency. John will take over a well-established and loyal distributor customer base ensuring their needs are met by supplying crop nutrition advice and premium quality fertiliser.
A Harper Adams graduate from an Irish family farming background, John brings a wealth of expertise and experience to his role that he has gained from working within agriculture at many different levels.
It was Yara’s commitment to sustainability and innovation that was a significant factor in his deciding to join the company. After going back to Ireland for a couple of years and working as a technical advisor with a local co-operative, John came across the Yara role and decided that it matched both his own values and his personal ambitions. “I always knew Yara as a brand that offered superior quality and service. At the same time, I knew that the Ag industry was changing, sustainability was becoming hugely important, and I wanted to work for a forward-thinking business that was committed to change and innovation. I relished the prospect of being able to take my career to the next level with a global brand, and that was instrumental in me applying for the role,” says John.
