I went up to Boone,Iowa on Saturday to do some railfanning,and caught this guy crop dusting some farm fields. I took more photos,but the heat coming off of the corn fields was horrible.

Eastbound coal train with a DPU(Distributed Power Unit)gets rolling out of Boone,as the crop duster gets ready to make another pass.

Nice shots! Photographing a crop duster has been on my list for a while now.

Thanks,I have been also. It was fun watching him fly down low,then pull up make a tight right or left turn,and make another pass.
