Farm Air out of Fairfield, Illinois covers a big area, and I often see their plane doing its work while I am out and about. This summer they have been busy spraying for Japanese beetles, which love to eat corn silks, and soybean leaves. Pilot Mark was killing beetles for a neighbor recently, and I ran out with my pocket camera to get some video. Not too many years ago they were flying Pratt and Whitney powered Ag Cats. The big radial engines sound a lot nicer to an engine nut like me, but this turbo-prop powered beauty does the job quicker and more safely.
