About
Craig McLaren
McLaren Precision Agriculture was founded in 2026 to bring accessible, high-quality crop health data to arable farms across North Hampshire, Berkshire, and Oxfordshire.
Before starting MPA, Craig worked as an engineer building the kind of data systems that now underpin precision agriculture. That technical background, combined with a connection to the farming communities of North Hampshire, Berkshire, and Oxfordshire, is what drives MPA: making genuinely useful agronomic data available to farms that have not traditionally had access to it.
MPA is not a drone photography company. The value is in the data — NDVI and NDRE index maps that show exactly where within a field crops are thriving and where they are not, early enough in the season to do something about it.
