Ag spraying is tough work. I did it for five years when I started out. I spent two years driving a nurse truck, Helicopters. Nobody is going to let you just come out of one of the schools and jump into a AgWagon or AgCat. You start out as ground crew, and you work and work hard. Along the way you learn the business and get some stick time. Its a very specialized field. Take California for example, you need a State Applicator Lic. That test is a bear, you can spend a year studying for it. The Idea that you can go to one of those 20 hour ag schools and then jump into a pawnee and in a year build enough time to go to the airlines is bunk. Most operators, will hire you with out Ag school. What you need is tail wheel time, and a Commercial Drivers Lic with tanker and Haz-Mat. A CDL will get you in the door quicker than going to Rigg's or who ever. A lot of the Ag schools have gone out of business the last decade or so. But if you get in, and stick with it, the pay is very good. But like a lot of things, its a hit or miss kind of thing. You don't see the job openings either and the ones you do see are looking for some heavy Ag time. I know one Ag Company that has hired its last pilot in 1981! The good ones and the ones that pay the best, pilot turn over is almost none existant. All the best jobs are found by word of mouth. Every now and again, a company in florida hires Ag pilots to fly Turbine AgCats. They spray herbacide in Columbia . Ag flying like the Spotting tuna is a limited thing, not like it was thirty or forty years go.
