About JP Rural Services Ltd

JP Rural Services is run by James Poynton from Blaby in Leicestershire, bringing agricultural drone work and practical countryside skills together under one contact. Drone application covers foliar nitrogen and other suitable non-pesticidal feeds and biostimulants, granular fertiliser spreading, and cover-crop seeding into standing cereals without driving machinery through the growing crop, which also helps on steep or wet ground. A DJI Agras T50 is used for application and a DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral for crop surveys, both with RTK positioning, and recent work includes maize trials with Hutchinsons. Alongside the drones, the business offers greenhouse and polytunnel shading, thermal inspections, woodland establishment and management, mobile timber milling and traditional hedgelaying. Large agricultural drone operations are carried out under SAS Land Services' Operational Authorisation. Registered as JP Rural Services Ltd, company number 16886077.

Regulatory notes

Listing confirmed directly with the operator by email in November 2026. The operator's website states that large agricultural drone operations are carried out under SAS Land Services' Operational Authorisation, so SAS is the UAS operator of record for application work and JP Rural Services flies as an authorised pilot within that network. The website describes drone application work as foliar nutrition with suitable non-pesticidal feeds and biostimulants, granular fertiliser spreading and cover-crop seeding. Aerial application of Plant Protection Products by drone separately requires an HSE permit under the Plant Protection Products (Sustainable Use) Regulations 2012. JP Rural Services Ltd, company number 16886077. Confirm current permissions, insurance and product suitability before work is arranged.
