🌱 Evidence & Benchmarking Programme

Hawk Greener Growing

Real-world proof that precision drone services deliver measurable results. Built into every job, owned by every farmer.

Evidence from real farms, not test plots

Hawk Greener Growing is HarvestHawk's ongoing, farmer-led evidence and benchmarking programme embedded directly into our commercial operations.

The programme builds real-world proof of how precision drone services compare with conventional ground-based methods under normal UK farming conditions.

This is not a trial scheme. All services are delivered as standard paid commercial work. The evidence reflects genuine farm conditions, not artificial experiments.

How it works

Simple, voluntary, and built around your normal workflow

Onboarding

Participation is offered during client onboarding. It's entirely voluntary. There's no obligation and no altered agronomic responsibility.

Standard delivery

Your jobs are carried out as normal paid commercial work. Nothing changes about how we deliver your service.

Data collection

With your consent, anonymised operational data is collected for aggregated analysis, comparing drone-enabled and tractor-based approaches where comparable data exists.

Benchmarking

Results feed into regional benchmarks for the South West and East of England, helping farmers make informed decisions backed by local evidence.

What we measure

Practical outcomes that matter to working farms

🚜

Compaction avoidance

Measuring the difference between drone application and ground rigs on soil health and structure.

⏱️

Improved timing

Tracking how drone access in wet or constrained conditions affects spray window hit rates and crop outcomes.

🎯

Targeted input use

Benchmarking chemical and fertiliser savings through GPS-precision application versus conventional broadacre methods.

🌧️

Operational resilience

Documenting the ability to operate in wet ground conditions when tractors and sprayers can't access fields.

📊

Regional benchmarks

Building locally relevant data for the South West and Eastern England, not generic national averages.

🤝

Trust & transparency

Supporting informed agronomic decision-making with data farmers can see, understand, and act on.

🔒 Your Data, Your Control

All data always remains farmer owned

We believe farm data belongs to the farmer who created it. Hawk Greener Growing is built on that principle from the ground up.

Any external use of programme data is anonymised, aggregated, and focused solely on demonstrating practical outcomes, never individual farm performance.

✓ You own your data, always

✓ Participation is voluntary and consent-based

✓ External use is anonymised and aggregated only

✓ No altered agronomic responsibility or experimental risk

✓ GDPR compliant throughout

Your Data. Your Control.

Commercial service, not a trial scheme

Hawk Greener Growing imposes no experimental risk. Every job is delivered as standard commercial work at your normal service rate. The programme simply captures what's already happening, so the evidence reflects real farming, not lab conditions.

Building regional benchmarks for drone agriculture

The programme creates regionally relevant data for the South West and Eastern England. Benchmarks that reflect local soils, weather patterns, and farming practices.

Over time, this evidence base supports the wider case for drone-enabled agriculture as a practical, proven tool for British farming.

📍

Locally relevant

Data from farms in your region, not imported from overseas trials or generic UK-wide averages.

📈

Growing evidence base

Every participating job adds to the dataset, strengthening the benchmarks for all programme members.

🌍

Supporting the wider case

Building trusted, transparent evidence that drone agriculture works. For farmers, agronomists, and policymakers.
