I’m not registered in the AMA either so I just fly at a park or my house I guess you could just ask them if it would be ok for you to fly on their land far away from their house…
Well it’d probably be fine because all I have is a ten acre plot of land and have plenty of room to fly as long as you ask I’m sure theyd be fine with it farmers are nice like that!
happy flying

I think that's more than enough room for park fliers. Pretty much anything flite test sells or has plans for you can fly in that space as long as you have a good place to takeoff and land.
well, the best way would be to go over and introduce yourself! and tell them about your hobby and would like their permission to fly on their land. And maybe you can get them into the hobby. ask if they have livestock to stay away from that area, so you don't scare the animals.
My experience suggests land owners are most concerned about: 1) liability 2) Noise 3) damage to property and crops 4) strangers an 5) flying at odd hours. You can charter an AMA club but it requires a little money and quite a bit of time. Alternatively, you can get the people flying to sign an indemnification. You can then limit flying only to FTCA charter members and then set some common-sense rules that everyone agrees to follow. That would include: Adhering to FTCA Safety Guidelines, flying only electric, flying noisy electric after 10:00 a.m. and before 6:00 p.m., no flying over buildings and picking up all garbage, especially LiPo batteries and being gentle with any crops. It's also a great idea to offer to teach either the farmer or any of his family how to fly RC on a club member's plane.
