Looks like they are growing corn in the field, when I stationed at McGuire AFB it was common to see them low and slow spraying the field, and could wait till I could bite down on the sweet corn they grew, the farmers use sell there vegetables on the side of the road on the way home. The beef steak tomatoes were the best.
Nothing like fresh vegetables right out of the garden, you lucky stiff......

Impossible to top Jersey corn and tomatoes. That's one thing we really from NJ.

Fun Facts
1) There are about 4,000 Ag Pilots in the United States.
2) The average age of an ag pilot is between 50 and 60 years old, with many still flying into their late 70s.
3) Those at the top of their game earn between $200,000 and $250,000 annually.

4) Typical new pilot can expect to work as a ground crew (low pay) for 2 years before ever seeing the inside of the cockpit.
5) Extremely difficult job field to break into.

This is the plane that I usually see dusting crops when Im out on the route. He must've seen me outside my truck snapping pics, so he buzzed me as I drove down the road.
Freaked me out to have a plane fly right over me. Bastage!
