Professional Devon Drone Spreading Services

With so much of Devon down to grass and steep livestock ground, getting seed onto banks and valley sides is a persistent headache for conventional spreaders. We broadcast grassland seed and cover crop mixes across steep and inaccessible terrain that a tractor-mounted spreader can't safely work, with no wheelings and no risk of slippage on wet red soils. For farms across the Culm grasslands and the South Hams, that opens up overseeding and stewardship on fields that were previously left alone.

With roughly three-quarters of Devon down to grass and only around a tenth in arable, most spreading here is grassland work - overseeding tired swards, and applying lime and fertiliser onto steep or wet fields where a quad or tractor spreader struggles to cover the ground evenly, or safely at all. Farms average under 60 hectares, tucked among steep-sided combes, small fields and narrow lanes; a drone brings the kit to the field over the hedge rather than through the gate, which on Devon's terrain is often the whole problem.
