Hey everyone, I’m Sam, a ISAF Veteran and business owner. I currently own and operate RisinRoots, LLC in your beloved NELA West Monroe, a commercial ag drone spraying here covering rice, soybeans, corn, and cotton across the Delta and Macon Ridge as well as private farming pastures. This community is for pilots, farmers, and service providers who want to: • Master FAA, LDAF, and LSU AgCenter compliance • Improve precision spraying techniques for Louisiana crops • Build or grow a profitable drone spraying business • Connect with other local operators and share field insights I’ll be posting regular training, seasonal tips, live Q&A sessions, and equipment advice. Quick intro question: Are you currently flying drones, planning to add spraying, or a farmer exploring in-house options? Drop a short intro below — where you’re located and what you’re hoping to get from this group. Excited to build this network and help each other succeed in NELA! Let’s Spray Smarter, Grow Better! - Sam
