#NewHorizons Highlights

Bayer CropScience has provided the online access for applicators to complete the Monsanto Round Up Training.

A fleet of 15 aircraft — including 13 aerial application planes and two control aircraft — has been fly- ing regularly out of the Cochrane Airport since May 23 to spray a biological pesticide on five target forest areas in the region.

In 2008 Chad Vanderbyl started Fly’n Dutchman Ag Ltd. out of Melfort, Saskatchewan, providing aerial application services for agricultural and forestry needs. The company name is both a tribute to his Dutch ancestry and a reference to the fabled Flying Dutchman ship of naval lore. For Chad, it was the culmination of a childhood dream.

CAAA 2021 AGM, Conference, & Trade Show Recap

We would like to thank our generous sponsors, exhibitors, presenters, and attendees for making the 2021 CAAA Virtual AGM, Conference & Trade Show a huge success. The virtual platform allowed the CAAA to maintain all elements of an in-person conference from the delivery of education sessions to visiting with exhibitors. We had over 110 attendees over the two days and the program offered 8 educational credits! In the virtual Exhibit Hall attendees were also able to visit with the 12 exhibitors through chat or live stream. The virtual silent auction was also a great success with a few bidding wars on several items. Thank you to all who donated!

President's Message: Spring 2021

For those who don’t know me I am Chad Vanderbyl. Together with my wife Kendra and our three children Parker, Hudson, and Boedy, we own and operate Fly’n Dutchman Ag. Currently, I am going into thirteenth year of spraying out of Melfort, Saskatchewan. I have been a member of the CAAA board since 2017. It has been such an honour to be selected as President of our association. I plan to work hard to maintain the legacy and the long-standing reputation of the Canadian Aerial Applicators Association.
