Crop Duster

This is in the challenging photo category.  It is not easy to catch an aerial applicator in flight.  I am not sure what he was applying.  From the looks of the field, it could use some nitrogen, but that is not what it is getting.  It is a little early for fungicide so I am guessing something to kill the Japanese beetles.  I have not seen any beetles that were enough of a problem to spray.  The aerial application gives you an idea how wet it has been.  I have worked in the field the last two days, but I had to be careful to miss the mudholes.

The corn does look sickly. Looks too small for beetles to be clipping the silks.
