Drone services available in Yorkshire
Yorkshire's mix of arable ground, upland and estate land means most enquiries fall into a few categories:
- Spreading: cover crop and wild cover seed, fertiliser and slug pellets, which face fewer restrictions than pesticide spraying.
- Spraying: targeted liquid application where the product, rate and site suit a drone and the operator holds the right permissions.
- Mapping and crop scouting: lower-risk survey work for field records, drainage and agronomy.
- Estate, forestry and difficult-access work across the Dales and moors.
Local considerations
Parts of Yorkshire are steep, wet or hard to reach, which is exactly where a drone can earn its place over ground machinery. On large, open, accessible arable blocks a conventional sprayer is usually cheaper per hectare, so a good operator will tell you which method suits the job.
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.
