Explored my world with a camera.
The other day I was driving to Waverly, Ill. and I was on Route 4 between Chatham and Auburn with my windows down. I heard a dull roar to my left and the sound increased as this bright yellow plane appeared as if from the corn only to clear the approaching power lines. Then it ducked down again so low that I couldn’t see it above the corn.
I started thinking about the guys that fly these things. Who operates them and how it all works. I called Chuck Holzarth’s Flying Service in Virden and Chuck let me experience a small part of Cropdusting.
Crop duster Allen East makes some last minute adjustments to the wheel of an Air Tractor Tuesday, July 28, 2009, with the assistance of fellow pilot Roger Bock at Chuck Holzwarth’s Flying Service in Virden Tuesday, July 28, 2009.
Matt Haulk a ground crewmen for Chuck Holzwarth’s Flying Service carefully checks fuel levels in one of the Air Tractors prior to flight Tuesday, July 28, 2009 in Virden.
The most popular cropdusting aircraft is the Leland Snow designed and manufactured Air Tractor. The Air Tractor is capable of spraying, seeding, spreading dry material, and firefighting.
This Micronair nozzle is one of the many different types of nozzles that can be used on Agricultural aircraft and is designed to break the sprayed material down into smaller drops creating more of a fog than a spray.
Matt Haulk a ground crewmen for Chuck Holzwarth’s Flying Service carefully connects the hose that fills the Air Tractor’s tank with fungicide. Fungicide is designed to protect crops from disease and fungus that can severely lower yields.
The Flying Service uses a special computer controlled system to calculate how much of the fungicide is mixed with water per plane and job prior to takeoff.
The spraying system aboard the Air Tractor is pressurized by a wind-powered pump spun by a small prop on the belly of the aircraft.
Matt Haulk a ground crewmen for Chuck Holzwarth’s Flying Service sprays out the mixing tank part of the computerized system which mixes fungicide with water before pumping it into the aircraft.
I'm thinking about pursuing this as some sort of story. We'll see how it goes.

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For quite a long time, I earn money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my web site to get additional info.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of troubles when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large initial investment.
Nowadays, I'm happy and lucky , I begin to get real money.
It gets down to select a correct partner who uses your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the profit with me.
You can ask, if there are such firms? I have to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
