Ben Williams earned both his undergraduate degree in Agricultural Business and his Master’s in Agribusiness Management from Mississippi State University. During his time there, he worked under Dr. Trent Irby, Mississippi State’s Soybean Specialist, where he developed a strong passion for agronomy. Ben joined the Southern Ag team in the spring of 2022 as part of the Research and Development team. Since then, he has gained extensive experience in precision agriculture, sustainability, and conservation program consulting.

Ben currently works directly with farmers to implement conservation practices and precision ag solutions tailored to their operations, while also leading efforts to expand Southern Ag’s footprint into his home region of West Tennessee. 

Outside of work, Ben enjoys spending time with family and friends in Brownsville, TN, managing land for wildlife habitat, and pursuing his love of hunting.
