Flown from our Hertfordshire base, covering the eastern counties. Crop mapping is available now, with spreading, seeding and application expected to follow from late October 2026.
We would rather be straight about this than have you ring up expecting something we cannot yet deliver. Crop mapping is flying today. Everything the Agras does is waiting on our CAA operational authorisation, and we are taking bookings for it now.
NDVI and multispectral imaging with the DJI Mavic 3M. High-resolution orthomosaic maps of every field, delivered through your Farmers Portal. Spot stress before it is visible from the gate.
Cover crops, grass reseeding and wildflower mixes, plus fertiliser and granule spreading. Even coverage across steep, wet or awkward ground. Pending CAA authorisation.
GPS-guided application of liquid fertilisers, biostimulants and water-based products, straight onto the crop with no wheelings. Pending CAA authorisation.
This is the arable belt, and the problems here are about scale and timing rather than terrain. Large cereal blocks where variation across a field is invisible from the cab, heavy clay that punishes a wet autumn, and establishment windows that do not wait for conditions to suit the machinery.
Set pricing per acre. You know the cost before we fly, with no hidden extras, and the quote is free. Chemicals and inputs are supplied by you.
The arable belt asks different questions to livestock country, and the enquiries we take from Hertfordshire out to the coast follow a clear pattern.
Under current UK rules, applying plant protection products from the air is not commercially permitted to anyone, only under a handful of trial permits. So we do not carry out fungicide, insecticide or herbicide programmes, and we will tell you that on the phone rather than at the field gate.
But there is a way round it. We can build a variable rate prescription map that tells your own sprayer exactly where to put a product, so you get precision application of the things we cannot fly ourselves. See how it works.
Why can't drones spray crops in the UK? We are also speaking directly with HSE and have written to MPs and farming ministers to push for evidence-based regulation here. Our Hawk Greener Growing programme is building the data behind that case.
Hertfordshire is one of three HarvestHawk bases. From here we cover:
Don't see your county here? Don't be put off. We travel UK-wide for specialist work, and we would always rather have the conversation and see what we can do than have you assume the answer is no. See our full coverage map.
Yes, all three are covered routinely from the Hertfordshire base, along with Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Cambridgeshire.
Yes. Cover crops, grass reseeding and wildflower mixes are all standard work for us, with even distribution across uneven ground and GPS-mapped coverage. Expected from late October 2026, once CAA authorisation is granted. Our grants page covers the schemes this can support.
Not with plant protection products. Aerial application of PPPs is not commercially permitted in the UK, to anyone, only under trial permits, so no fungicides, insecticides or herbicides. We can apply liquid and granular fertilisers, biostimulants and water-based products.
Set pricing, published on our services page: crop scanning from £225, field mapping from £350, or both together from £495, each covering up to 50 acres and then £3 an acre beyond that. On eastern block sizes the per-acre cost falls away quickly, and whole-farm mapping is where the numbers work hardest. The quote is free and you know the exact cost before anything is booked.
We fly from three bases and cover twenty-one counties between them.
Free, no-obligation quote for your exact fields. Crop mapping now, and first in the queue for September.
