How low can you go?? I guess that's the only way to spray that since the crop is so close to the road. Cool shot!

Since he's apparently spraying the crop on both sides of the road, doing it this way saves him a lot of time and fuel by not making so many turns. I still think those guys are nuts.
The second shot shows an interesting propeller thingy between the landing gear struts. I wonder if it's a way to automatically adjust the product flow according to air speed?
