A bill for an act prohibiting the use of remotely piloted aircraft flying over farm property, and making penalties applicable.

This bill prohibits drones from flying over Iowa farm properties without the owner's consent, specifically protecting farm animals, equipment, and structures. It creates a 400-foot buffer zone around these assets where drone operators cannot fly without permission, except on the owner's property or with explicit consent. Farmers can seek court orders to stop drones that violate these rules, with temporary injunctions lasting up to two years. The law applies to all farms meeting the defined "farmstead" criteria (40+ acres used for farming, generating $15k+ in annual sales) and excludes areas within city limits. It does not ban drones from flying over farms with permission or for authorized purposes like aerial photography with consent.
