For the record,
By "gato1965" (El Cajon, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flying an Agricultural Plane (Our Neighborhood (Childrens Press Paperback)) (Paperback)
To a Reader from Mansfield...drift 25 miles away in a no wind condition? Boy...you've never been around farming or farmers. If there was drift 50 feet away there would be trouble! I can appreciate your valid concerns for the environment, but please fight your cause with facts.

Great book,

This review is from: Flying an Agricultural Plane (Our Neighborhood (Childrens Press Paperback)) (Paperback)
I thought it was great to see this part of aviation, and also agriculture, described so simple and with such high quality pictures. To bad that some people look at this group of professionals as enviromental criminals. Clearly they do not know the details on both aerial application or farming.

Spraying chemicals with Mr. Miller,
By A Customer
This review is from: Flying an Agricultural Plane With Mr. Miller (Our Neighborhood) (Library Binding)
My beef with this book and a few others by the same authors is the total lack of respect for the environment. Chemicals are portrayed as the "good guys" and there is never a mention of their carcinogenic properties or the harm they do to our world. Agricultural chemicals drift at least 25 miles after they are sprayed, even when the wind is not blowing. They end up in our drinking water and cause cancer in humans and animals. None of this is mentioned in this book. It makes me wonder if the authors are sponsored by a chemical company. I wish the authors would write a book on an organic gardener. I do like their style but not their subject matter.
