We made use of Hummingbird Technologies PTY Ltd to assist with our spray program of summer crop when the wet conditions were not favorable to use our self-propelled sprayer. Craig and his team provided a professional service, kept us up to date of any problems and worked through the night when necessary, should the day conditions not have been suitable.
Craig also assisted with the spraying off of excessive reed growth in some of our dams and the drone proved to be practical for those areas.
Hummingbird's knowledge and use of technology is proof to us as a farming business that the use of drones for spraying (mapping & surveying areas) is a competent and cost-effective alternative to aerial spraying by an aircraft crop sprayer.

Good morning Craig, just a short note to thank you for the awesome service provided by your team. It is a pleasure dealing with such an organized and punctual business. The ripener you sprayed was successful and very uniform. We wait to see how successful the Eldana treatment has been. Thanks again

We are writing to recommend the services of Hummingbird Technologies. We have used Hummingbird to spray
for Eldana and Sugarcane ripening on Java Heights Farm in Mid Illovo.
They offer a professional service from analysis to observing the mixing and final process. We were very satisfied
with the professionalism and results, especially as they focus on a more integrated approach with highly
specialised design, at a competitive rate.

KK Agri operates an extensive
sugarcane, timber and hydroponic vegetable operation over two farms within the
greater Eston district.
Hummingbird Technologies has
provided us with its services on two separate occasions. Firstly, to complete
and compile up to date aerial images and GIS mapping of Palata Farm via drone
and secondly for aerially applied noxious weed control also on Palata Farm. We highly recommend Hummingbirds
services as they approach the work that they undertake with a sense of
professionalism and use innovative drone technology which has provided highly
accurate applications with outstanding results in an extremely efficient and
hassle free for the farm manager, due to their extensive and well set up
operating unit. Additionally, Hummingbirds

We have used Craig and his team from Hummingbird Technologies 3 times in the last few months from spraying Maize,ripening of Sugar Cane and spraying alien invasive species in a very otherwise tricky area had it not have been for the Drone. We are very impressed with their setup, from their top quality, accurate equipment to their very experienced pilots, it's truly a one stop shop for all your mapping and spraying needs. The service from Hummingbird Technologies is excellent. They communicate very well, letting you know when exactly they can help you and keeping you updated as they go along. We as farmers know how crucial planning is for our daily operations and the team from Hummingbird Technologies make is one less thing to worry about. We can't recommend them enough. We are very happy with the results and will definitely continue to call Hummingbird for any of our Drone Spraying needs.

Since our first encounter with Craig and his team in February 2023, Hummingbird Technology has been my preferred Drone Spray operator. Their knowledge of the industry, professional service, great communication, problem solving approach, attention to detail and willingness to receive comments and feedback makes working with the team a blast.
