A black and white photo of a field, possibly related to: Dusting planes (agricultural sprayers) fly mainly at dawn and dusk when the wind dies down. Their extreme proximity to the ground can turn any sudden gust of wind into an accident. They hedge-hop over obstacles, must remain low to the very edge of the field to be effective. Former bootlegging pilots are supposed to be in demand because "they can miss a tree by inches and set down on a dime." Seabrook Farms, between Bridgeton and Vineland, New Jersey
