Young Attends Indiana Spray Drone Association Education Day in Jennings County

INDIANAPOLIS - Today, U.S. Senator Todd Young (R-Ind.) attended the Indiana Spray Drone Association Education Day at the Southeast Purdue Ag Center in Jennings County.

The Indiana Spray Drone Association was created to help ensure aerial application by drone grows safely, professionally, and responsibly across the state.

"Drones continue to be critical for the Hoosier ag industry, and Indiana's new UAS test site will help ensure our drone ecosystem meets the industry's growing needs," said Senator Young.

Earlier this year, Indiana was named the recipient of a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) Test Site. Young led a letter in support of Indiana's application signed by the entire Indiana congressional delegation. The full delegation support letter is available here.

As a member of the Senate Commerce Committee, Young is working on drone issues at the federal level.
