Or they hire a crop dusting plane.
While I was out taking photos of this old barn the crop duster was buzzing around spraying a nearby bean field. He was flying so fast that it was hard to get a photo of him.
After many tries, I finally got a photo of him coming down to spray the field. They fly so low that it is scary. No, that is not the bean field in the foreground.

I have decided that I am making cleaning this dirty house a priority so I won't be posting and commenting as much for the next few weeks. I will visit you all when I can. I may or may not comment. I am also getting things ready to decorate my space at the lighting store for Christmas. Thanks to all my faithful and new followers for all your visits and nice comments. They make my day.
Until next time
Barb

Barb, you did great capturing this old crop duster!
And a red barn is a real beauty! Have all your time doing whatever necessary to do and we will wait you here.
A warm hug from Kaya.
that would be a tough job - the cropdusting AND the house cleaning. :)
i love the barn. it has a happy face!
Hope that you get it done in record time for you will be missed!
Oh Barb I have never seen a crop duster they are not used in my part of this farming area. It is really something to see I am sure.
Good luck on getting all your cleaning done I should really do that. Maybe tomorrow:) Hug B
These are great shots in the life of a field! Best of luck with the cleaning - that is something I really should be doing, too :-/
Great shots, Barb! I love the little plane.
I understand the prioritizing.. it's been hard for me to keep up with all the posts I want to share & bogs I want to read lately.
On top of all the busy activity that fall brings,
I spent the other night in the hospital, photographing the arrival of a beautiful baby boy. It was a huge, moving experience for me. And set me back a bit on rest & laundry & things with my own kids! :)
I just shared about the experience. I hope when you are caught up & have time you can read it.
(It's really sinking in for me that the holidays are RIGHT around the corner. Once Halloween parties are done tomorrow, we have a son's birthday in a week, and twin sons' birthdays the following week, and then it's right on to Thanksgiving!)
I know that sight- at least three times a year, swooping and diving...kinda scary to watch! You are an inspiration..I think I'll clean something...wait...no..maybe tomorrow! LOL!
Awesome shot of the crop duster plane.
Don't work too hard on your time off!!
We will miss you, but don't worry we will still be here when you get back. xo Laura
I remember the first time I saw a crop duster when I was driving. Scared the daylights out of me because it flew so low!
Good luck with the cleaning!
We have crop dusters here that dip wildly low too. Scary. I am up to my ears in pricing for our Christmas Open house but am trying to blog. I have been such a distracted friend. hugs, olive
I'll miss you too, but don't worry I will still be here when you get back.
Greetings, RW & SK
Barb, you got some great photos of the crop duster and the big sprayers in the field. I can understand your taking a break right now. It's coming up to a busy time with holidays and your booth too. So, take care and I'll be watching for a new post in the future. Blessings. Pam
What a great series, Barb. And how could anyone say that blogging and Facebook is a waste of time? I learn so much and meet such interesting, creative people. Good luck with your great CLEANING. I should do that too but will probably just read. See you down the road.
You got some great shots!
Happy cleaning - I need to do that too. :)
I missed getting shots of the crop duster this year -- you did well Barb.
Will miss you, but totally understand. I need to get off my ass and do some cleaning as well. xo
Barb, cool shots of the crop duster! You will be missed! With the Thanksgiving holiday coming up I should be doing some sprucing up too. Have a great evening and weekend ahead!
You did a great job getting the plane! Nice last shot!
Great timing on the crop duster!!
It's a good time of year to do a deep cleaning. I don't mind cleaning, I find listening to upbeat music really helps!!
Lovely shots Barb!
I think you did a great job capturing the duster and how awesome the field color and the sky are so perfect with the plane. Very frame worthy!
Hope you have a productive break.
Dagnabbit, I get back and you get going! LOL Hurry back Barb, you'll be missed. Grand photos btw, love the old barn and you did a great job catching the cropdusting.
Have fun with the housecleaning? I'm doing the same thing but after almost 2 months of no computer I'm not giving up my online time!
Great shots. Good luck with the house cleaning - it'll feel good when it's done!
great captures Barb'
You've reminded me that I had read the soybean post and meant to get back to it and comment.
My house could use a bit of attention as well, so off I go for now!

I hear you on the housecleaning, I should be doing that exact same thing. You got some great shots here.
Very informative post and great shots for Rurality ~ so much work for the farmers ~ appreciate them even more ~ thanks, carol, xx
What beautiful shots.
I took some photos of the local crop duster this summer....yours turned out really well♫ http://lauriekazmierczak.com/xoxo/
I see your crop duster is yellow...I need to look that up and see if they are required by law to be yellow. That is all I ever see around is ones that are yellow.
(Want to come clean my house? Or help me and I will help you...we could be called the Cleaning Grannies.LOL)
Don't overdo it, Barb. The house will always be there, regardless. Just enjoy the Fall and have fun.
Wonderful captures, Barb! Love the little plane. Once a yellow plane flew over when my Hubby and I were outside and Hubby pointed and said, 'It's Yellow' in such a goofy way that whenever we see anything yellow now, we point and yell, 'It's Yellow!'
I love a good housecleaning session, you feel so good afterwards. Hurry back! Hugs xoxo Karen
Love this crop duster. Will be thinking of you as you have fun cleaning and getting Christmas set up! Hurry back
What awesome photos! That old barn is so pretty!
I would think those crop dusters need to be really good pilots since they are flying so low....I love the red barn...so pretty...
I hope your cleaning goes fast so you will be back with us soon....
Great shots! Reminds me of my days of growing up on the farm. Sweet memories ...
May all the dust bunnies be shadows and the clutter be priceless collectibles!!!
Hugs,
Patti
Wonderful photos!!
Have a nice day.
Crop dusting always looks scary to me, too! I hear you with the cleaning...I have been making it a priority here right now, too!
You did a great job capturing the crop dusting! It really is hard to keep up with all the blogs you want to and still have time to do all the other things your life demands. No need to apologize for prioritizing!
Hi Barb, You sure captured the crop duster plane well with your camera. So much goes into this career of work before the final products go to market.
I want to say, have fun cleaning, but probably not!! LOL You have inspired me because I need to do the same thing before decorating for Christmas. Or maybe I should wait till after to do the big cleanup when putting all away. LOL
LOL
Oh well, I guess I would rather paint! LOL
Have a great weekend and thank you for stopping by and your sweet comment.
Hugs and Blessings.
i hope your cleaning goes well. c u on the flip side. ( ;
That duster looks like the one around here. Bright yellow! I should be cleaning, but no . . .
beautiful photos. You managed to capture the soul of the whole process. Many thanks.
Greetings from London.
I love crop dusters! My mom said when she was little she called them "sprayer airplane" she would run outside to watch them. LOVE your red barn photo!
The barn is greatly captured. Love your images.

I enjoyed your photos, up here they use a Helicopter for crop dusting. You did great on your Soybean post too. Oh you have all winter to clean..LOL..:)
Beautiful are your photos, especially the yellow plane!
Greetings, RW & SK
Great pix!
Have a great week, and I hope it's productive for you, and you are able to get your "to-do" list done :)
Beautiful series of shots, Barb! I love that barn.
Thanks so much for your visit to my blog today! :)
Some of these crop dusters must have nerves of steel!
Did not go to the horse race - not really my idea of fun - but I'll gladly take the day off!
Cheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
Crop dusting is a VERY dangerous job due to electrical lines they sometimes have to dodge. Great shots!
Great captures of the bean dusting...that 1st photo resembles a painting it is so lovely. Getting ready for the holidays is always a time consuming job...enjoy and we will see you when you return!!
Hi there Barb! I love those pics of the crop dusters. I like to hear the small planes in the air. Don't work too hard, too much housework isn't good for you. :-)
Dorothy
Great pics Barb. Getting a pic of a fast moving thing is not easy. When I move the camera it comes out blurred. You did great to catch those 2 planes. Like the pic of the barn too. Will miss you while you are busy.
