	Aviation: Minnesota Department of Transportation
		Any aircraft that has a base price (for tax purposes) of $10,000 or less, and that is owned and operated solely for recreational purposes, may be listed for registration as a recreational aircraft and assessed at an annual fee of $25.00.
		Definitions: "antique" aircraft means an aircraft constructed by the original manufacturer on or before December 31, 1945; "classic" aircraft means an aircraft constructed by the original manufacturer on or after January 1, 1946, with a first year of life equal to or greater than 50 years at the time of registration.
		Aircraft which are used for agricultural purposes only and are assessed fees in excess of $500, may apply for an exemption which will limit the annual fee to a maximum of $500 by filing an affidavit (supplied by the Department) with the Aircraft Registration Unit.

	Remote Sensing Technique Uses Agricultural Aircraft / March 16, 2005 / News from the USDA Agricultural Research Service (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		An advantage of using agricultural aircraft is that they are potentially easier to schedule for remote sensing because they are frequently used in the field for pesticide spray operations, according to Thomson.
		The use of agricultural aircraft for observation, as well as for spraying, has advantages other than additional utilization of the planes, including flexibility in how high or low the plane is flown.
		Although agricultural aircraft can be flown at a variety of altitudes, low flights limit the ability to capture images of large areas at once.

	Kiwi Aircraft Images : Fletcher Fu-24
		The 'Fletcher' is a Kiwi icon, and as the ubiquitous agricultural aircraft is identifiable to many simply by the distinctive droning sound it makes as it moves across the countryside.
		The success of the trials was followed by a burgeoning agricultural aviation which initially used surplus DH-82a's fitted with a hopper in place of the front seat with around a 200kg (440lb) superphosphate capacity.
		As well as agricultural use, the aircraft has been used for frieght and passenger work (5 seats in place of the hopper), and even proposed as a COIN aircraft.

	Agricultural aircraft offer a different view of remote sensing Agricultural Research - Find Articles
		For agricultural engineer Steven J. Thomson, readily available agricultural airplanes provided a solution to the need for high-resolution images as part of remote sensing techniques for the Mississippi Delta.
		"An advantage of agricultural aircraft is that they're much easier to schedule for frequent remote sensing because they're used in the field for spray operations anyway.
		The new system is being studied for several applications, such as detecting weeds in cotton and soybean fields using digital video and spotting nutrient or water stress in crops using thermal imaging.

	Agricultural airplane loading device - Patent 4095705
		Thus, the aircraft are frequently damaged during the loading operation, while the operators actually loading the aircraft have problems moving the chemicals to be loaded from one site to another, with the hours during which such loading must take place occasionally requiring the transport of the chemicals to be made during the nighttime hours.
		It is another object of the present invention to provide an agricultural airplane loading device which may be towed behind a conventional vehicle without obstructing the tail lights of the vehicle, thereby eliminating the necessity of tail lights on the loading device itself.
		Although the aircraft is not shown in the drawings, it will be understood that such aircraft are well known and commonly employed for crop dusting and similar purposes.

	Career Information - Aircraft Pilots
		Agricultural Pilots fly airplanes or helicopters over farmlands at low altitude to dust or spray fields with fertilizers, fungicides, or pesticides.
		Career newcomers are discouraged by increased regulation of agricultural aviation, the high cost of insurance, and technological advances that allow one pilot to do the work that in past years required three pilots.
		Agricultural Pilots must pass a written test given by the State Department of Food and Agriculture to obtain needed State licenses.

	Kiwi Aircraft Images : DHC-2 Beaver
		The aircraft was developed with an eye to the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests which was looking to replace its Stinson SR-9s.
		The aircraft might have looked very different as it was originally planned for the 295hp Gypsy Queen 50, but development delays for that engine resulted in a change to the 450hp Pratt & Whitney R-985 Wasp Junior.
		The aircraft was seen as a suitable replacement for the DH-82a as a topdresser, and a competitor for the newly introduced Fletcher Fu-24 agricultural aircraft (despite the Beaver's smaller 915kg load).
