Helos Join the Fungus Fight

Iowa Tractor Boys Employ Modern Methods

More than normal rainfall has caused the crops in Clayton County, Iowa to experience fungus problems more than average. Here you see a helo in operation. This equipment is the modern day equivalent of the former "Crop Duster Aircraft."

Here is an image of the helo restocking chemicals. I am sure that the helos are more effective in as they do not need long approaches and long departures over a field which results in excessive use of chemicals. The helo can deliver with pin-point accuracy.

As a Former Iowa Tractor Boy I continue to be impressed on the inovations employed by current Iowa Tractor Boys to provide us all with the items that we enjoy on a daily basis - food!!!
