A Waupun crop duster follows in the footsteps of his grandfather.

Damon Reabe comes from a long line of pilots in his family. His grandfather, a WWII veteran, started the family crop dusting business in the 1940s. The business was continued by Reabe’s father and uncles, and now Damon Reabe co-owns Dairyland Aviation and Reabe Spraying Service. He discusses how far the industry of aerial application has come since it began in the 1920s.
