Frequently asked questions
American Drone LLC should hold three credentials before applying any pesticide by drone in Wisconsin: an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate for the pilot in command, an FAA Part 137 Agricultural Aircraft Operator Certificate for the business, and a state pesticide applicator license with the aerial category endorsement. In Wisconsin the state credential is issued by Wisconsin DATCP; you can ask the operator for their applicator license number and verify it through the agency directly. Reputable applicators will also share a current certificate of insurance with chemical drift coverage and the operator's Section 44807 exemption number on request. The site's state licensing reference covers the agency, exam and renewal cycle in every state.
Typical drone spraying rates of $12 to $35 per acre in the region usually covers the application itself: drone calibration, GPS-guided flight planning, mixing and loading product into the tank, the labor and machine time to fly the field, and a written application record (date, time, product, EPA reg number, rate, weather, field ID) consistent with FIFRA Part 170 record-keeping. Pesticide product, surfactants and adjuvants are typically supplied by the farmer and not included in the per-acre rate. Common surcharges include long travel beyond the operator's standard radius, after-hours or emergency turnaround, fields with significant obstructions or steep terrain, and minimum-acreage charges below a stated field size. Confirm what is and is not included in writing before any application.
