Ag Aviator Podcast #5 Peter Schellenberger

I get to talk with Peter Schellenberger an Ag pilot with 4 years in the business who hasn’t just worked in Ag but also timber, and aerial fire fighting. We talk about how and what got him to where he is today. This episode was recorded back on July 1st and at that point in the 2021 season we had seen a large amount of fatalities so we talk (from a young pilots perspective) about what we both do to keep our heads in the game and what distractions can potentially arise during the busy season. We share a few screw up stories and also Peter talks about an engine failure he had his first season. Peter is a great example of where a respectful and humble attitude can take someone in this industry, I appreciated having him on! Big thanks to our sponsor Amberican Designs!

hello sir are you open to share about how much money you earn per year? I am planning on becoming a crop duster but online all the salarys fluctuate. I know its not about the money but I would like to have a better understanding due to how expensive getting licenses and ratings can be. If you arent open about that I completly understand thank you

Hey I'm looking for a loader person for a year then someone I can put in my Weatherly 620b. Who would I need to talk to a ag pilot school.

Iv got a question maybe you can answer. Can someone load for a season or 2 see if they like it than go learn to fly or is it kinda required the person have a pilots license and all that. Iv got agronomy experience but unfortunately haven’t got a pilots license. I don’t know how I possibly could now with gas going up so high. Regular went up 20 cents last 2 days. And I’m a collage kid trying to save enough for the next semester.
