(KMZA)--It's an obvious site in rural areas across the local region, as crop-dusting airplanes buzz above farm fields, spraying the crops below.
Exactly what they're spraying for isn't always apparent, and comes depending on the needs of the season.

Commonly questions regarding the crop dusting arises during the season, and Kearns says those can be answered properly only if proper identification of specific aircraft can be provided. That can be done by jotting down the numbers found on the tail of the plane.
