An exploration of the relationship between farmers, aerial sprayers, agriculturalists, crop pests, chemicals, and the environment. David D. Vail’s analysis reveals a strong ethic in the North American grasslands where practitioners sought to deploy insecticides by designing local scientific experiments, engineering more precise aircraft sprayers, and developing more narrowly specific chemicals.
