I was quite interested in going to ag flying but every time I bumped into an ag pilot anywhere they all told me that there was no work and that you needed a LOT more experience then what I had, which was around 800hrs at the time.
I certainly never, ever heard of an ag company looking for a pilot that is not previously ag experienced.
Now a mate of mine that runs an ag outfit tells me experienced guys are making $20k+ a month doing contract work and that they just can't find enough guys.
