Ground spreading
Ground spreading done right — safely, accurately, and on time.
Precision agriculture: maximising every dollar with the environment in mind.
Our ground spreading service connects you with experienced, certified operators who use GPS-guided technology to apply fertiliser exactly where it’s needed.
- Safe and reliable service from trained, certified operators across New Zealand.
- Accurate proof-of-placement records for compliance and reporting.
- Local knowledge, across all terrain.
We also integrate with HawkEye® - here’s how it works:
- HawkEye provides proof of placement maps for spreading jobs, done by our spreading partners.
- Fertiliser orders made in HawkEye automatically go to your Ravensdown joint venture spreader for scheduling.
- These jobs are sent directly to the truck, giving the driver clear direction and controlling the in-truck technology to ensure fertiliser is spread in the right place, at the right rate.
Safety first
We’re committed to health and safety—our highest priority is making sure our people get home from work safe and sound.
Our Spreadmark certified applicators are trained to put fertiliser where it works best for your farm, and where it’s safest for the environment.
