EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Hedge-Hopping Harvest: A 1938 Aerial View of a Dusting Plane in Action at Seabrook Farms, New Jersey" 2.. In this photograph, a dusting plane skillfully hops over a beanfield at Seabrook Farms, located between Bridgetown and Vineland, New Jersey, in 1938. The plane, an essential component of the traveling dusting circus, sprays a swath of protective dust over the crops to shield them from pests and diseases. Capable of spraying 100 acres per hour, these planes typically fly for one to two hours each day, unless hindered by rain or storms. 3. The dusting circus, a self-contained operation, boasts a fleet of at least three or four planes, each accompanied by its own pilots, mechanics, and an elementary repair shop. The planes, equipped with large spray tanks and powerful engines, are essential for maintaining the health and productivity of the vast agricultural lands. 4. The intricate dance of the dusting plane as it hops over the hedges and swaths of the beanfield is a testament to the precision and dedication of the pilots and the importance of aerial agriculture in the early 20th century. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the innovative methods farmers employed to ensure bountiful harvests. 5. The traveling dusting circus was a common sight in rural communities during this era, as farmers relied on these planes to protect their crops from various threats. The planes, with their distinctive silhouettes and roaring engines, became a symbol of progress and the determination of farmers to overcome the challenges of farming in an ever-changing environment.
