Corn Spraying Rig in Iowa

While it is true that you cannot see the "Iowa Tractor Boy" in this image you can be certain that He is within a few hundred feet of the activity shown here. You might call this a replenishment station as the tank of the Corn Spraying Rig is being fulled with water. The appropriate chemicals are then mixed with the water and the fields of young corn plants are sprayed. This is done to kill the weeds that compete with the corn crop for the necessary nutrients and water to produce an abundant harvest. Of course an abundant harvest means that our Corn Flakes and our Beef, Pork and Milk will remain at a price that is affordable. As you know, we here in the United States of America have the most plentiful food supply at the lowest cost.
