Why Wiltshire Farmers Choose Drone Spreading
Across Wiltshire's chalk arable, the tight gap between harvest and the SFI cover crop establishment window is one of the hardest to hit with a conventional spreader. We broadcast clover, phacelia and vetch mixes straight into standing or freshly cut stubble, so seed is down and chitting while you're still clearing the field - no separate cultivation pass and no compaction on dry, structured chalk soils. For farms around Devizes, Marlborough and the Pewsey Vale, it keeps stewardship and moisture windows on schedule.
Around three-quarters of Wiltshire is farmed, at holding sizes close to double the South West average, and the county splits cleanly - large arable blocks on the eastern chalk around Salisbury Plain, and wetter livestock and dairy pasture to the west. That gives drone spreading two clear jobs: broadcasting cover crop mixes into standing or freshly cut stubble on the chalk ahead of autumn drilling, and overseeding grass and clover into standing pasture in the west without a wheeled spreader crushing the sward or compacting soft ground.
With over 1,000 hectares covered in 2026, we’ve worked with small farms all the way to national corporations to deliver reliable and professional agri-drone spreading services - we’re here to help.

Advantages of Drone Spreading
Establish Cover Crops to the Root Level from Above
Broadcast seed directly into standing crops. Seed clover, vetch, phacelia and other cover crop mixes pre-harvest or immediately post-harvest, straight into standing crop or stubble. No extra tractor pass, no compaction, no missed establishment window while you wait for the combine to clear the field.
Overseed and Improve Grassland with Zero Damage
Patch weak swards without crushing existing growth. Drones fly over the crop canopy to deliver seed exactly where it's needed, repairing thin patches or improving grassland swards for Countryside Stewardship and SFI actions - without crushing existing growth or compacting the soil beneath it.
High-Output Spreading and Lower Running Costs
Spread up to 1,300kg/h with up to 15% less product wasted. An 80L hopper delivers the output of several workers hand-seeding, rivalling small tractor-mounted spreaders while using up to 50% less fuel and up to 15% less fertiliser, pellets or seed thanks to precision placement - no long refill trips, no over-application.
Spread When Tractors Can't Get on the Land
Hit SFI and fertiliser windows even on waterlogged ground. Waterlogged fields and tight weather windows cost you missed drilling and delayed fertiliser applications every season. Drones operate in conditions that would bog down a tractor, keeping you on schedule and recovering the 2-5% yield lost to soil compaction.
