My brother and I farm 6,500 acres which we rent from others.
We do own a small bit but rent it to others because it is a few miles from the rented farm.

That is some thrilling footage...
Have you ever been up in the air
with the crop duster?

Very cool tims70ar!
We moved into our current house about 8 years ago, it's sort of on the edge town near a lot of farms. soon after moving in I saw a airplane making about a 60 deg dive, until out site behind some trees. I drove around for a good 15 min looking for where it crashed. eventually I found it working and figured out what was going on LOL. Very cool to watch them from the ground, but even cooler from the air! Thanks for the ride!

Very cool. I was fascinated by crop dusters as a boy. We used to see them from time to time over some of the farms in SW Michigan.

That is some thrilling footage... Have you ever been up in the air with the crop duster? Glad some got to see what happens in farm country. I'll post some other things during harvest season. No, Dell I'm not that brave. |

Sad news to report from South Arkansas. The pilot who took this video was involved in a two plane crash and has died. The other pilot has had some surgeries and is expected to make it with lots of rehab to follow. If you are a religious person, please remember these families in your prayers. It is a very dangerous life these men lead. |

Saddened to read this awful news...
it feels like we just flew with him in the video.
A terrible tragedy for his family, friends and community.

This is very sad news to hear Tim and I will be sure to include in my prayers tonight. Always been fascinated by crop dusters through movies like North by Northwest and Charley Varrick and appreciate how very dangerous this necessary occupation can be . 😢

Sad.
Have read stats that it is in the top 3 of dangerous jobs with loggers and fishermen.
