STAY IN THE LOOP
When low-flying planes catch the public’s attention, it’s an opportunity to share the story behind agricultural aviation. NAAA member Matt Crabbe of Matt Crabbe Aviation is doing just that in a recent feature by The Central Virginian, helping readers understand the precision, safety standards and conservation benefits behind the work aerial applicators do every day. Positive public awareness starts with education!www.facebook.com/share/p/19o7J4uk7b/
Aerial applicators appreciate the work of all farmers every day and especially today on National Farmers’ Day. Aerial applicators are honored to treat approximately 28% (127 million acres) of U.S. cropland and a lot more when you consider they also treat forests for timber, pasture and rangeland, and seed cover crop by air. Thank a farmer and ag pilot for the food on your table today!
