As the previous poster stated, Ag pilots are generally a breed
apart and you will not get a job doing that with only 250 hours.
It takes a lot of skill for one thing, and the planes you would
be flying and big powerful brutes and nobody will let you fly one
to build hours let alone **** away thousands of dollars of Ag
chemicals while you learn how and build time.

There is a lot of that activity around these parts (the Southeast)
but the guys that fly these missions are professionals with tons
of experience. You can do it but you will have to dedicate a lot
of time to learning the trade and the aircraft to get good at it
(if you don't accidentally get killed in the process).

And you can buy your own plane (used are alot cheaper than new) and
support equipment and put yourself into the business...

Having insurance on the above, is another thing...
