I've been a custom applicator and operator for 25 years. It can be the most rewarding job you can ever have and can also be the worst. The hours are terrible, but the pay is usually pretty decent. Equipment is the key. If you have outdated and worn out equipment the job can be a nightmare. If you are running good modern equipment with the latest technology it can be a blast. I have also found that if your company has several sprayers and operators it can be a very synergistic situation. If you are the onlt horse in the stable it can be a drag. A good seasoned operator will earn from $35,000 to $50,000 per year here. A rookie that needs some training will start around $20,000 to $25,000 but will advance rapidly if he is any good.
