Practical work.
Real possibilities.
Selected projects, photographs and updates from agricultural and countryside work.
Cover-crop seeding
Seed, charging equipment and the drone prepared beside the field for cover-crop work. Aerial broadcasting allows suitable seed to be applied into a standing crop without driving machinery through it.
Seed choice, application rate and timing are agreed for each job. Establishment depends on seed-to-soil contact, moisture, weather and subsequent management.

Practical drone support for your next trial.
JP Rural Services welcomes enquiries from farmers, landowners, agronomists, researchers and product developers planning agricultural trials. We can discuss suitable fertiliser, foliar nutrition and seeding applications, baseline and repeat multispectral surveys, and aerial photography to document changes.
We work to the protocol agreed with your trial lead and agronomist, including treatment areas, comparison plots, rates, timing and application records. Maps and observations can support the wider assessment of crop performance alongside ground measurements and laboratory analysis.
Whether your project is privately financed or grant-supported, contact us early to discuss feasibility, quotations and the drone services needed in your project budget.
