This time of year, there are a lot of planes flying around the country side spraying fields. One evening I was in the garden pulling weeds (the only thing I have "harvested" from my garden) and noticed that a plane was starting to spray the field around our house.
For those of you who have never experienced this, I will let you know that this is very loud. I thought about going inside to wait for them to be done, but decided it would be fun to catch some pictures instead.
One thing that makes the spraying so interesting is how low to the ground the plane gets.
It makes sense that they stay so low because they want the spray to go into the corn and not up in the air, but it is amazing how they barely rise up to go over the yard. The picture above isn't very good, but you can see the plane is well below the top of the shed as it goes over the corn.
It almost skimmed the top of the shop door as it flew over our yard.
And it just missed the wire running from our barn to the light pole.
It is really pretty amazing to watch these planes fly, if you can get past the sound they make.
