NAAA reached another milestone of sorts this week, surpassing 8,000 “Likes” on Facebook. The exceptional thing about 8,000 “Likes” is that our “Likes” have grown by 1,000 people each year for the past two years is that it exceeds the number of operators, pilots and allied companies in the industry, so we are reaching individuals outside of our trade.

NAAA posts substantive messages on Facebook that underscore the importance and professionalism of aerial application to U.S. agriculture, forestry and public health. The NAAA Facebook page has become a great resource for ag pilots, farmers, supporting industries and friends of aerial applicators to keep up to date with information regarding aerial application, modern agricultural production, the farming community and on NAAA events and legislation. Our followers have rated NAAA’s Facebook page 4.8 out of 5 stars and our social media presence continues to grow with every “Like” we get.
