If you’ve been impacted by these delays, we would greatly appreciate you taking a few minutes to complete this survey. The results will be shared with Congress and the FAA to help demonstrate the industry’s experience and support meaningful improvements.

The FCC just proposed a rule that could reclassify foreign-made agricultural spray drones as “military-grade” equipment, simply because they can dispense pesticides.

It’s not a ban on flying your current drone. But it could restrict future imports and sales of certain foreign spray platforms, which means real implications for dealers, manufacturers, and anyone planning to expand their fleet.

We break down what’s actually being proposed, what it would (and wouldn’t) change, and why this is likely to get misread as “spray drones are banned.” 👇
