Agricultural drone services in the Midlands

Flown from our Stratford-upon-Avon base, covering Warwickshire and the counties around it. Crop mapping is available now, with spreading, seeding and application expected to follow from late October 2026.

What we can do for you, and when

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.

Available now

Crop mapping and survey

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.

From late October 2026

Seeding and spreading

Cover crops, grass reseeding and wildflower mixes, plus fertiliser and granule spreading. Even coverage across steep, wet or awkward ground. Pending CAA authorisation.

From late October 2026

Nutrition and biostimulants

GPS-guided application of liquid fertilisers, biostimulants and water-based products, straight onto the crop with no wheelings. Pending CAA authorisation.

Why a drone earns its keep on Midlands ground

This is mixed farming country, and the jobs vary as much as the ground does. Heavy clay that travels badly after rain, arable blocks where a pass has to be even across the whole field, and some of the most serious fruit and horticulture ground in the country a short flight away in Worcestershire and Herefordshire.

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 jobs Midlands farms ask us about

Mixed farming country produces a mixed postbag. These are the enquiries that come up again and again from Warwickshire, Worcestershire and the counties around them.

What we can and cannot apply

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.

We can apply

  • Liquid and granular fertilisers
  • Biostimulants and foliar feeds
  • Slug pellets, non-PPP classified
  • Water-based products
  • Cover crops, grass reseeding, wildflower mixes

We cannot apply

  • Fungicides
  • Insecticides
  • Herbicides
  • Any other plant protection product

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.

Where we fly from the Stratford-upon-Avon base

Stratford-upon-Avon is one of three HarvestHawk bases. From here we cover:

📍 Warwickshire 📍 Worcestershire 📍 Herefordshire 📍 Shropshire 📍 Staffordshire 📍 Leicestershire 📍 Northamptonshire 📍 Oxfordshire

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.

Common questions

Do you cover Warwickshire and Worcestershire?

Yes, both are core ground for us. The Stratford-upon-Avon base covers Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire as routine.

Can you work in orchards?

Yes. Precision application of nutrition and biostimulants to orchards and tree crops, including post-harvest urea, with even canopy coverage and nothing heavy on the orchard floor. Expected from late October 2026, once CAA authorisation is granted.

Can you spray fungicide on my fruit?

No. Aerial application of plant protection products is not commercially permitted in the UK, to anyone, only under trial permits, so we do not run fungicide, insecticide or herbicide programmes. We can apply foliar feeds, nutrition, biostimulants and post-harvest urea.

What does drone crop mapping cost in the Midlands?

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 the larger arable blocks around here the per-acre price falls quickly. The quote is free and you know the exact cost before anything is booked.

Farming somewhere else?

We fly from three bases and cover twenty-one counties between them.
