Driving through the farmlands of Iowa near Amana, I spotted a biplane flying at a low altitude. Hoping for a shot I soon realized that the plane was landing.
I drove to where I hoped I would find the plane and spotted Bill and a friend getting set to park the plane for the night.
Soft-spoken Bill has been a pilot for about 30 years and has been in the crop dusting business for about 20. To an observer it would seem to be an exciting job, but Bill says it can get rather mundane at times. The busy season lasts from June through August, but the business of maintaing the business and the plane consumes about 8 months out of the year. His business generally flies within a 40 mile radius of Amana, occasionally flying to Illinois when needed.
In the 1980s Bill had begun training for the Federal Aviation Administration as an air traffic controller. The crop dusting business had a brief spurt (insect infestation) during which there was much business to be done. Bill hoped to reapply to the FAA after a brief time, but as you can see he is still flying and enjoying it. So much for the plans of men.
Bill was very gracious in answering my many questions about the crop dusting business. He has a great knowledge of many things in the aviation and agricultural fields.

Cicada Killer Wasps are large insects (1.5 inches) that are present in summer months. Female wasps are solitary, each digging their own burrow in bare/open soil. Male wasps will guard a female nest and chase other wasps and humans that approach. Fortunately they cannot sting. Female wasps are beneficial by reducing cicada populations, which they provide to their larvae as food.

Norway rats can squeeze under openings that are 1/2 inch (12 mm) high, roughly the thickness of a Sharpie, or through round openings 3/4 inch (19 mm) in diameter, roughly the size of a quarter. These sizes are based on measurements of rat skulls.

In some situations, snap traps can be 'baited' with string, dental floss or other nesting material to attract/capture female rodents.

As disease lesions age small black fruiting bodies (cleistothecia) develop with in white infected areas. Powdery mildew is favored by wet and humid days with moderate temperatures of 600 F or above. Powdery mildew is disseminated by airborne spores.

Keeping it clean is not only important for health and safety reasons. It is also difficult to monitor for new activity when mouse droppings are not cleaned up promptly. Pests should be excluded by sealing openings where they can enter. Do not use materials, like a paper cup, that can easily be chewed through.

English ivy is an aggressive ornamental plant that has escaped cultivation to become very invasive in the United States. It can crowd out native plants with dense mats of vines as a ground cover. English ivy is difficult to remove and, with its habit of trailing up and over trees, can cause damage by weakening and helping to topple trees.

The Toadflax Brocade Moth (Calophasia lunula) is native to Europe but was intentionally introduced to North America in the 1960s in attempt to control yellow toadflax (Linaria vulgaris) and dalmatian toadflax (Linaria genistifolia ssp. dalmatica) in places where these exotic plants are considered noxious weeds.
I saw this caterpillar on a wooden post and watched for over an hour as it built a cocoon by chewing up pieces of wood and placing the chewed wood around itself until it was completely enclosed.

Cockroaches brownish black or tan, shiny flat bodied foul smelling insects are well known and are found all over world . More than 3000 species of cockroaches are known to occur throught out the world. They are very active at night or in dark places. Their filthy habits, repulsive appearance, odour and possibility that they spread diseases like Tuberculosis, Cholera, Leprosy, Dysentery and Typhoid make them very dangerous. They destroy food, damage fabrics and book-bindings and contaminate the materials over which they crawl by their excreta.
The cockroaches do not lay their eggs singly. They are laid in groups, each group being covered by a hard covering matrix.
Cockroaches frequently enter into the houses through small inlets crevices, hole and openings of floors, walls doorframes, spaces behind wooden furniture. It is desirable that wooden utensils or furniture’s are avoided in the houses. Modern practice is to use marble-made utensils like shelves, cupboards etc. Special attention be given to water and drainage pipe. Several observations have shown the city-drainage-systems are most important breeding sites for American Cockroaches.

Their success depends not only on the potential impact of ecosystem services, but also on willingness of farmers to adopt these practices.
