About the Course

This course is your foundation for understanding how spray drones are changing agriculture, land management, and aerial application. You’ll learn how drones compare to ground rigs and crop dusters, where they fit into real-world workflows, and how operators are using them across row crops, orchards, pastures, conservation land, turf, and more. We break down practical use cases, clear up common misconceptions, and explain the regulations and technology driving the industry forward. Whether you’re a grower, applicator, or land manager, this course gives you the knowledge to get started with confidence—and stay ahead of the curve.
