Aerial fumigation!

Good paying job and more profitable for those that own their own planes...

Not only you need to be a good pilot to fly in so low to the ground all the time, but also understand the dynamics behind the present wind vectors and the crops to be fumigated as well.

More and more producers in that industry in the DR are relying on altitude photographs to determine factors in their crops, but also target areas that need more attention than others with pin point accuracy from the air.

Even irrigation patterns and flow are making use of the aerial photos, taken from special pods fitted in the underside of the crop dusters.

Producers are using the latest GPS devices to mark and target crops in distress, spotted used aerial photos from the planes. They have learned to create GPS grids in their fields and are able to navigate the same to the trouble spots, clearly marked in the aerial photos with GPS coordinates on them.
