Are crop dusters really necessary?
The aerial application industry in the U.S. is an integral part of American agriculture. Without these aircraft available as tools in food production, one third of Americans would go to bed hungry. Without crop dusters to treat cotton, yields would be substantially reduced and you would be forced to pay an exorbitant price for a simple cotton T-shirt. You may not even see agricultural aircraft in your part of the country, but you would surely be affected if they weren’t allowed to fly.
