We've been in prime crop dusting season here. I took a whole series of really cool photos a week or two ago as he was flying over the house here. I remember asking a farmer once, how expensive it was as it seemed to be something that would be outrageous. He told me the cost for value ration depended upon the price of fuel. If fuel was high then having the plane do the work of a tractor was more cost effective. The sad part, whatever that cropduster was spreading is heading downstream now. Right after it sprayed that field flooded badly for days. It is all Skunk river bottom land. The Skunk river dumps into the Iowa River, The Iowa River dumps into the Mighty Miss......
