Horizon Agri featured on ITV: How agri-tech is changing farming in Cornwall

Horizon Agri was recently featured in an ITV News segment exploring how agri-tech is transforming farming in Cornwall.

The feature highlighted the growing role of drone technology in helping farmers respond to real-world challenges, from difficult weather conditions to the need for greater efficiency and precision.

As shown in the ITV interview, drone technology is helping farmers carry out essential tasks in situations where traditional machinery struggles. For example:

• Fields that are too wet for tractors can still be treated using drones

• Tall or dense crops can be fertilised more easily

• Large areas can be covered quickly without soil compaction

These practical advantages make drones a valuable tool alongside traditional farming methods.

Drone technology also supports more precise farming practices. Using aerial mapping and targeted application, drones can:

• Deliver fertiliser exactly where it is needed

• Monitor crop health across entire fields

• Reduce waste and improve cost control

This aligns with the wider shift towards smarter, data-driven agriculture.

As farming continues to face pressures from weather, costs and labour availability, technologies like drones will play an increasingly important role.

Horizon Agri is proud to be part of this transition - helping farmers adopt practical solutions that make a real difference on the ground.
