History Channel (Canada) is airing a series called Dust Up on June 2 about 3 cropdusters in Saskatchewan each one apparently competing for business. The only link I can find is to HCs facebook page. I you don't have Facebook I'll copy
the contents below.

Release Date June 2, 2011
Network History Television
Season 1
About Daredevil crop dusters soar into your living room June 2nd, thanks to History Television.
Description “Dust Up” is a wild ride that gives viewers a cockpit-eye view of three maverick crop dusters in Nipawin, Saskatchewan – 73-year-old Bud Jardine, his rebellious son Brennan Jardine, and ambitious newbie Travis Karle – who chase their dreams at 150 mph, five-feet off the ground.

These three are NOT your typical pilots. Each with
their own crop dusting operations, they are competitive, ego driven daredevils, choosing coveralls over pressed uniforms and 'flying tractors' over jets. These crop-gun pilots buzz inches above the fields – dodging trees and telephone wires – to deliver their payloads while entertaining roadside audiences with their death-defying feats.

With high stakes drama on the ground and peril in the air, “Dust Up” features compelling stories about family feuds, resourcefulness and survival in the rural heartland, brought to you by the folks at Paperny Films and Prairie Threat Entertainment Production. (read less)

Due to time constraints during the week I ended up watching the first four episodes on line through History.ca. It's pretty good and I enjoyed watching. As long as the show never crosses the fine line between a reality show and a show about pilots and aircraft I will keep watching. Thumbs up! A question for you Dusty, are you involved with the show or crop dusting in the area?
     Best.. Steve M of course.
