Frame 1
I’M NOT NECESSARILY a fan of the end result of crop dusting—some chemical sprayed upon a field with the residue sifting into the air and upon the earth.

Frame 6
Just ahead of the van in which my husband, son and I were traveling, the plane skimmed across the highway before completing a sharp turn to pass back over the roadway and across acres of corn.
Frame 7: How low do you think this plane is flying?
I am no aviation expert, but it seems to me that special skills and a dose of daredevil courage are required to fly a crop duster.
Frame 8: Just the tail and wings of the plane visible above the cornfield.
Thoughts?
