Helicopter Crop Dusters Speed Ohio Planting But Costly
In Wakeman Ohio helicopter crop dusting by Heck Flying Service speeds spring planting for farmers in Huron County. The aerial method costs about 4.50 per acre versus 2.65 by ground trucks, yet covers more fields quickly. An incident in Ashland County saw cows surround the helicopter, requiring a truck barrier. The crews plan to spray alfalfa weevils and soon extend into Michigan woods under state contract to combat gypsy moths.
