Yes, some opt to use helicopters for crop dusting.
no the wheat crop crash was in 1928, the dust bowl happend in 1934
Farmers did not practice crop rotation.
No Till Farming, crop rotation, cover crop planting
Helicopters have been used for crop-dusting for many years. I remember seeing the smaller piston-engine helicopters, such as Bell Model 47, in use. There may be other types of helicopters that are being used that have the appearance of a Gyro-copter. Could your friend have mistaken a helicopter for a Gyro-copter??
Big time. They were basically the most major pests during the dust bowl and there are house pests like millipedes during the dust bowl.
The crop duster plane in the movie Independence Day was not a crop duster plane at all. It was a Boeing Stearman Kaydet, using a "smoker" to simulate dust.
The Dust Bowl was a reaction to the limited [or none] use of crop rotation and drought in the 1930s. Winds blew dust and dirt around mainly Oklahoma and Texas. Parts of Canada were hit as well. *Answer by Sno*
It mainly impacted Texas and Oklahoma. Parts of Canada had events like the "dust bowl" in the 30s due to lack of crop rotation and drought. *Answer By Sno*
They fly helicopters.
The main crop grown in the region affected by the Dust Bowl was wheat. During the 1920s, extensive wheat farming in the Great Plains led to the depletion of soil moisture and erosion. Poor agricultural practices, combined with severe drought conditions in the 1930s, exacerbated the situation, resulting in massive dust storms and significant agricultural devastation.
Helicopters are about 200 feet
