Agr small transport on rollout after landing at uncontrolled airport has critical ground conflict with small aircraft on opposite direction takeoff. Small transport is NORDO so could not make nor hear traffic pattern announcements on CTAF. Reporter asserts this normal for agr aircraft and that other aircraft should accommodate NORDO agr aircraft activity.

Narrative:

I was landing ag small transport X on runway 36 at sgt. My tail was down and forward speed 20 mph when small aircraft Y pulled onto runway 18 and started to take off towards me. My aircraft is equipped with strobe lights and really easy to see. I think the other pilot, small aircraft Y, did not realize the ag aircraft traffic in the area. There were 6 ag aircraft working off the airport at the time. I think more work needs to be toward teaching pilots about ag plane activity, since ag aircraft do not have communication radios to communication with other aircraft.

Title: AGR SMT ON ROLLOUT AFTER LNDG AT UNCONTROLLED ARPT HAS CRITICAL GND CONFLICT WITH SMA ON OPPOSITE DIRECTION TKOF. SMT IS NORDO SO COULD NOT MAKE NOR HEAR TRAFFIC PATTERN ANNOUNCEMENTS ON CTAF. REPORTER ASSERTS THIS NORMAL FOR AGR ACFT AND THAT OTHER ACFT SHOULD ACCOMMODATE NORDO AGR ACFT ACTIVITY.

Narrative: I WAS LNDG AG SMT X ON RWY 36 AT SGT. MY TAIL WAS DOWN AND FORWARD SPEED 20 MPH WHEN SMA Y PULLED ONTO RWY 18 AND STARTED TO TAKE OFF TOWARDS ME. MY ACFT IS EQUIPPED WITH STROBE LIGHTS AND REALLY EASY TO SEE. I THINK THE OTHER PLT, SMA Y, DID NOT REALIZE THE AG ACFT TFC IN THE AREA. THERE WERE 6 AG ACFT WORKING OFF THE ARPT AT THE TIME. I THINK MORE WORK NEEDS TO BE TOWARD TEACHING PLTS ABOUT AG PLANE ACTIVITY, SINCE AG ACFT DO NOT HAVE COM RADIOS TO COM WITH OTHER ACFT.
