Precision Drone Services
Agricultural Drone Operators
Located near Selby, North Yorkshire we offer our precision drone spraying and broadcasting services covering all of the UK. Learn more about how our agricultural drones can help your traditional farming practices by targeting specific areas and causing no soil compaction or damage to the crop or ground. If you have a failing crop, drones offer a perfect way to reapply seeds without compacting the soil. Our contracting services allows you to provide the products and we apply and distribute it evenly across the targeted area. The applied rate per hectare is set to your required output.
Precision drone spraying is a new innovation for agriculture, horticulture and forestry sectors in the UK. We have lots of options already available such as Greenhouse shading, Greenhouse cleaning, Broadcasting cover crops, under-sowing cover crops, applying slug pellets and rewilding projects for forestry and peat land projects. The spreading of fertilizers and solar panel cleaning are just some of the available services we offer. At this point we must point out that the spraying of pesticides with drones is currently unavailable in the UK. Any product that has a MAPP number is currently not able to be applied by a drone.

Cover crops applied summer 2025 and the results six weeks later
We attended a farm in Lincolnshire in late July to apply cover crops to 17 hectares over two fields. It was the first time the farmer has looked at using a drone for tis type of work so it was a kind of trial for this season.
As all of the agricultural sector will remember, 2025 has been exceptionally dry so the timing of application needed to be right. After the initial phone call from the farmer we had the job completed 4 days later. The weather was good and with rain forecast within the next two weeks it was an ideal opportunity to get the new crop in even though the existing crop hadn’t been harvested. This allowed the new seeds to have the protection from the existing crop and use the damp conditions to germinate.
Six weeks later in the first week of September, we received a phone call from the farmer who was extremely happy with the results. With the little rain fall and the ground so dry he was amazed how well the stubble turnips were doing. We returned to the farm the same week to check it out ourselves and get some additional footage of the progress of the new crop.
