- Which crops do drone operators spray around West Tennessee?
- Around West Tennessee, drone operators most often treat corn and soybeans. Drones are especially valuable for tall canopies, wet or flooded ground, and steep or irregular fields where a ground sprayer can't go without compaction or crop loss.
- Do operators in West Tennessee need a license?
- Yes. Commercial drone spraying requires an FAA Part 137 agricultural aircraft operator certificate (plus a Part 107 remote pilot certificate, and a Section 44807 exemption for drones over 55 lbs) and a commercial pesticide applicator license from the Tennessee Department of Agriculture. Every operator listed on Ag Drone Sprayers is asked to document these credentials.
- Is drone spraying the same as crop dusting near West Tennessee?
- Essentially, yes — drone spraying is the modern form of crop dusting. Traditional crop dusting used low-flying manned aircraft; today, around West Tennessee, the same job (applying fungicides, herbicides, and fertility from the air) is increasingly done by unmanned spray drones. Drones fly lower and slower, drift less, need no airstrip, and can treat small, wet, or irregular fields a plane can't — which is why many growers searching for a "crop duster" now hire a drone operator.
