  • Fly precision agriculture spray drones
  • Apply crop protection products
  • Perform GPS-guided crop spraying

Earnings Potential Typical operator performance:

  • 120 spray days per year
  • 100 acres per day
  • 12,000 acres annually
Average service pricing: ~$15 per acre
Potential operator revenue: ~$180,000 per year
Preferred Qualifications

  • Interest in drones, aviation, or agriculture
  • Experience with UAV / UAS flight operations
  • FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certification (preferred)
  • FAA Part 137 Agricultural Aircraft Operator certification (helpful but not required)
