The last Cropduster

Jim, the last cropduster in central Florida sold his plane and retired about six weeks after I made this photo (more info)

My area of central Florida (USA) was once a thriving agriculture producer but farms are being closed by government regulation and population growth. Jim Conratty was the last of many cropdusters who sprayed the fields but sold his plane and retired to N GA just six weeks after I made this photo. He was the last of a legendary group. I was happy he could take some prints of this photo with him.
