Crop Dusting

Are any of you on here crop dusters? If so are there many companies that actually crop dust? Where do you go to school to become a crop duster? I know a person needs a pilot license and an applicators license. The neighbor had his fields sprayed last year with a small helicopter. It would land on a platform on top of the nurse truck to refill with the herbicide or insecticide they were using.

I thought crop dusting was walking past the wife while letting one fly!

I am a retired crop duster, did it for 32 years. There is or was several schools. Used to a lot of crop dusting companies would teach you but it got to where it was hard to get insured unless you had been through a formal school.
