Ag Law In The Field

Today, we're talking drones on the podcast with my friend and Extension Ag Law Specialist at the University of Maryland, Paul Goeringer.  Although neither of us own a drone ourselves, Paul and I have both given numerous presentations and answered countless questions from folks planning to use drones and those who are concerned about how drone use may impact their privacy. Paul grew up on a farm in Western Oklahoma, obtained his degree in Ag Economics at Oklahoma State University (Go Pokes!), his law degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Law, and his LLM from the University of Arkansas.  Then, he headed to the East Coast where he accepted his position at the University of Maryland. We kick the drone talk off with looking at what steps an operator needs to take before flying his or her drone.  This includes registering the drone with the FAA before the first flight obtaining the remote pilot airman certificate and reviewing and complying with all FAA regulations.   Next, we turned to privacy issues
