CAA Authorised Operator & GVC Certified
Professional UK Drone Spreading Services
Spread up to 19 hectares per hour with pinpoint precision. No soil compaction, no weather delays, no product waste. Join forward-thinking UK farmers already cutting costs and increasing harvests with advanced drone technology.
We can help you with:
SFI re-establishment Seeding
Liquid & Granular Fertiliser Spreading
Cover Crop Establishment
Over Seeding
Applying Pelleted Products
Our high-capacity XAG drones allow you to establish crops, apply fertiliser, and meet SFI requirements - without relying on ground conditions.
We help farmers and land managers with:
- SFI re-establishment seeding – hit scheme deadlines without waiting for dry ground
- Cover crop establishment – seed directly into standing crops or immediately post-harvest
- Overseeding & grassland improvement – improve swards with zero soil damage
- Liquid & granular fertiliser application – targeted, efficient input use
Why use Drone Spreading?
- Operate in wet or inaccessible fields – no delays waiting for machinery access
- Zero soil compaction – protect yields and soil structure
- Rapid deployment – cover 15–19 hectares per hour
- High-output spreading – up to 1,300kg per hour for efficient large-area coverage
Built for Time-Critical Windows
Missed drilling or delayed fertiliser applications cost yield.
Drone spreading gives you the ability to:
- Seed when tractors can't travel
- React instantly to weather windows
- Maintain momentum across fragmented or difficult land

Advantages of Drone Spreading
Successful cover crop establishment
Drones give rapid, precise coverage without soil compaction. Broadcast small seeds (e.g., clover, vetch, phacelia) into standing crops pre-harvest or immediately post-harvest to hit the right moisture window.
Hard-to-reach terrain? Solved
Steep banks, wet fields, inaccessible corners - all covered. With drones, you're not bound by the rules of traditional ground-based machinery. You can now spread across land with awkward slopes, soft ground, or annoying obstacles. Drones ensure even coverage.
Overseeding without disruption
Re-seed weak patches directly into standing crops. Unlike ground equipment, drones can fly over a crop canopy to deliver seed precisely where it’s needed, patching gaps without damaging plants or compacting soil.
Fast and Efficient Spreading
Spread up to 1,300kg per hour. With an 80L container, drones deliver the output of multiple workers hand-seeding, without fatigue, and rival smaller tractor-mounted spreaders but without the soil compaction, fuel costs, or long re-fill trips.
Stay Weather Ready All Year
Complete operations even when tractors can't get onto fields. Can't get a tractor onto your waterlogged fields? Our drones operate in conditions that heavy machinery would get stuck in, which means your operations stay on schedule no matter what British weather throws at you.
Reviews

Solving the challenges that cost you money every season
Rising Input Costs
The Challenge: Spreadable products are getting more expensive every year.
The Solution: Drones enable us to apply the precise volume of product to defined zones through GPS, eliminating over or under application and ensuring uniform spreading standards. Less product consumed = more money back into your pocket.
Tight Spreading Windows
The Challenge: Short weather windows (wind, rain, temperature) mean missed opportunities and yield loss.
The Solution: Drones can be deployed immediately and operate in short optimal weather windows, allowing operations that would be impossible with slower ground rigs.
Difficulty Monitoring Crops
The Challenge: Traditional crop monitoring can be slow and imprecise, making it difficult to spot early signs of stress or disease.
The Solution: By using drones with NDVI (Normalised Difference Vegetation Index) cameras, farmers gain instant, high-resolution insights into plant health across large fields. NDVI technology highlights problem areas quickly, enabling targeted interventions and smarter resource use, saving time and boosting yields.
Crop Damage
The Challenge: Tramlines and compaction are costing you yield every harvest, especially on tall crops.
The Solution: Aerial application eliminates all ground traffic damage. Protect 100% of your crop potential with zero physical impact. Drones fly above your crops, spreading without making contact with the crop.
