Ag Aviation Industry Needs Your Information – Please Participate in NAAA Industry Survey

NAAA recently launched the aerial application industry survey. The survey covers the year 2025, and your participation is critical. The goal is to gather data that can be used to promote the importance of the ag aviation industry to the public, government agencies, grower groups, and pesticide manufacturers. The information gathered in the survey is used to protect our industry from proposed aerial application bans, additional burdensome regulations, and threats to your safety. In particular, the results help keep aerial application on pesticide labels for which EPA is considering a complete ban or severe restrictions.

Check your email inbox for an invitation to participate in the survey. The survey is intended for both ag aviation operators and pilots, and covers airplanes, helicopters, and drones. We urge everyone who gets the invitation to participate. The data collected from the survey will be kept completely confidential. Your progress in the survey is savable, so if you get interrupted or need to collect additional information to continue, you can save your place and come back to it later.

NAAA strongly urges you to take the time to complete the 2025 ag aviation industry survey. We want to ensure the vitality of the aerial application industry for decades to come, and the data collected as part of this survey is imperative to achieve that end. Without your information, we can’t prove how important you are for protecting the nation’s food supply and natural resources.
