When I drive from state to state, I notice some balls hanging at above
Best Regards
Yep, they are for wire visibility. There is often a landing strip near by. Helps aircraft pilots see the wires...
And pilots who "crop dust"

These are almost always found where the lines cross rivers and canyons, as air traffic will be more prevalent in those areas, and the lines tend to be at a higher elevation than the usual routing. Crop dusting is so prevalent that almost all transmission lines through cultivated land would have to be marked for that purpose, so I don't think that's a consideration.
