Drone services available in Wales
Welsh farms and estates often have the steep, wet and awkward ground where drones come into their own. Typical work includes:
- Spreading and seeding: cover crops, grass, wild cover and fertiliser on difficult terrain.
- Forestry, estate and difficult-access work on slopes and remote parcels.
- Mapping and crop scouting: field records and land-management surveys.
- Spraying: targeted liquid work where the product, rate and site suit a drone and the operator holds the right permissions.
Local considerations
Steep and wet ground is where a drone can do what a tractor cannot, so Welsh enquiries often centre on access rather than acreage. On open, accessible fields a conventional sprayer is usually cheaper per hectare.
Spraying licensed pesticides by drone needs a Health and Safety Executive permit, so for pesticide work ask the operator to explain their permissions before booking.
