Obviously, you can’t apply for a waiver until you have your personal pilot paperwork sorted.
The big list of things that require a waiver below.
The good news for farm drones is 107.25, you could follow your drone around the farm with that. Remember somebody else has to be driving the vehicle, though.
I will let you go through the rest for your personal requirements gentle reader.
