Watch: How Lincolnshire Farmers Are Using Drones

Lincolnshire produces more food per acre than almost any other county in England. Now a growing number of farmers are using drone technology to push productivity even further.

We visited three farms — an arable operation near Spalding, a mixed farm in the Wolds, and a livestock farm near Market Rasen — to see how drones are transforming daily operations.

Key takeaways

• Crop scanning can detect disease 10-14 days before human spotting
• Livestock counting by drone saves 4-6 hours per week
• Precision spraying reduces chemical use by up to 30%
