Last week, the NAAA and Helicopter Applicators, Inc. (HAI), the aerial application operation out of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania led by Glenn Martin, participated in a two-day precision agriculture field day to demonstrate the progressive technologies and application techniques used by pesticide applicators to maximize efficiency and protect the environment.
Last week NAAA’s Dr. Scott Bretthauer and Andrew Moore were hosted by FMC Corporation, one of the oldest pesticide companies in the U.S., at its Stine Research Center in Newark, Delaware. FMC, established in 1883, with nearly a score of key company representatives ranging from its regulatory director and marketing analyst to its senior research and development scientists, provided NAAA a tour of its facility.
Since 1995, NAAA, in partnership with Syngenta Crop Protection, has offered the Leadership Training Program (LTP) to develop leaders within the aerial application industry. Over the past 29 classes, more than 365 NAAA members have graduated from the program. Applications are now being accepted for the 2026 program.
