When I was a kid working in our rice fields I watched ag cats taken off of that strip loved it i later became an ag pilot it was great

Makes my stomach tighten up watching those downwind takeoffs, and that little bit of off the end of the pavement dust is…WOW>

I was a loader way back. Our operation was not nearly as refined as yours, but unforgettable for an 18 yr old none the less!

[@PhreddCrintt]

Excellent!!! I always wondered about this part of the process was carried out.

[@gmanchurch]

Excellent video! Thanks so very much for sharing this with us! Please make more!

[@toddatglencovewoodworks]

Nice video. I always enjoy driving (starting in Dallas) the stretch of road from Little Rock to the NE corner of Arkansas, wandering the backroads, on my way to Kentucky. I was able to get some pictures a couple months ago of the crop dusters flying over, but they are hard to catch! 😊

Nice shot! What's the location of the airstrip?

[@sharpmems]

Near Harrisburg Arkansas. Thanks!

[@cellnot]

@@sharpmems Found it, thanks! Interesting that in Arkansas towns/villages have the name Stuttgart, Ulm... (the area I was born an live in Germany :-)). It's a little off topic, but still interesting to see where German settlers have settled in the US.

[@sharpmems]

@@cellnot awesome! I lived in Benjamin Franklin Village near Mannheim from 1986-1987. I loved it! Arkansas had numerous German POW camps during WW2. The German POW’s mainly helped our famers. After the war, many returned to Germany, but a number of men stayed and settled in Arkansas.

Each to their own but that is a really slow way to fill the hopper. How much is going in on that particular aircraft?

[@merhaba8]

This is how we do it in New Zealand kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWGlcqCca798n9ksi=0jjKgPbAD7uu9FuZ

[@coryturner9140]

Another 500 feet of runway wouldn’t be a bad idea! Dang that’s short!

[@mustangtonto5862]

Not if it was an INTO the wind takeoff.

[@bobbyfredieu7622]

I would love to be a crop duster

[@Rocketman88002]

@bobbyfredieu7622, follow your dream man! Find an AG Flight School and talk to AG pilots about how to get started!

[@merhaba8]

Very slow turn around. In New Zealand we load with a hopper, takes 15-30 seconds

[@sharpmems]

Interesting. Have any footage of it?

[@merhaba8]

@@sharpmems There’s a few KZbin videos, search Topdressing New Zealand, but here’s a link to one, kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWGlcqCca798n9ksi=0jjKgPbAD7uu9FuZ We fertilise all our hill country farms with planes but spraying is always done with helicopters, both hill and crops.

Very cool but thought crop dusters only carried liguid thats dry

[@johnnygavita]

They fly rice seed on in California as well as Urea fertilizer and much much more

[@bernardanderson3758]

I’ve always wanted to do this type of low level flying and make great money
