This business provides a professional and reliable service specialising in agricultural crop spraying services for professional farmers, primarily for potatoes, grain and grassland. Natural products are used that protect the crop from soil bourne diseases and are more environmentally friendly.

Spraying operations are carried out using sprayers that are equipped for 12,18,20 and 24 metre boom widths using flotation, standard and row crop wheels as required for field conditions. The business works to a high standard and always completes on time. Fully insured the business uses modern agricultural machinery, some of which has been self-developed in order to gain the exact requirement needed. Sprayers are tested on an annual basis.

Established in 1993, the business has developed an excellent reputation and has tremendous local knowledge, yet is also fully re- locatable.
