I lived in Blythe, CA from 1958 to 1961, it is in the Palo Verde Valley along the Colorado River. They grow all kinds of crops year-round and I have seen a lot of those older biplane crop duster in action, they had accidents pretty regularly killing or seriously injuring the pilots
The newer turbine powered crop Dusters have accidents also but not as frequently, thank be to God
Flying can be a lot of fun or terror, depending on the pilot and weather conditions
I had a partial engine failure when a valve failed at 8500 Ft above sea level over western AZ 30 miles away from the nearest airport, luckily Iwas able to make it back to Prescott, AZ airport and had it fixed the next day
