My information was second or third hand.  I'm not a pilot (never sat in
one of those seats) nor do I know a duster pilot that could verify it.

One thing I do know about the farm is that a state highway passes
through it and it desensed my mobile on 40m for a mile on either side
and all the way through it.  Glad I don't live in close proximity of it.
