Extract

Aircraft have been used for agricultural purposes for at least thirty years. Probably the first country to use them to any extent in agriculture was the United States where there are now probably some 7,000 or more aircraft in more or less continuous employment on some aspect of agricultural aviation.

Up to the present, although many countries, since the end of the Second World War, have employed aircraft on agricultural work, the total world employment of aircraft on this activity has been small in comparison to that obtaining in the U.S.A.
