Crop dusting is one of the most dangerous things you can do on a day to
day basis. It does not like new pilots with their lack of good stick
and rudder skills. It requires much more than just flying an airplane
like a daredevil and spreading very expensive chemicals about the
countryside.
I've been at it for 40 years and about to retire. Most ag pilots are
older guys as evidenced by all the grey hair or bald heads at the
various ag conventions. It is a hard field to break into with very
stiff insurance requirements. The knowledge required is far beyond
aviation subjects and takes a lot of study to pass the state ag exams
to be licensed as an ag operator/pikot.
There is a lot of ag activityy in the Ohio area. Check for the Ohio
Aerial Applicators Association and find some operators near you to
visit with and find out for yourself. Its a tough job and not for a new
pilot.

9-10,000 hours of the other kind of flying.
