Do you know what crop dusting is, and did you know that it's still widely used?

Asked by ibstubro (18804points) July 24th, 2015

Frankly, crop dusting brings to my mind romantic visions from the book Illusions by Richard Bach. I love watching our local pilot swoop and bank the bright yellow plane.

Then the reality of aerial application kicks in and pesticide over-spray and pesticide drift ruin the mood. How can you control the application of an aerosol from an airplane?

Possibly linked to the decline of both the honeybee and the Monarch butterfly.
