Helicopter

We raise a field of wheat each year, this year no exception.  We typically have our wheat sprayed with a fungicide to prevent diseases, and this year we felt it especially important because of the cool, wet spring.  Our fertilizer and crop protection dealer, Earlybird Feed and Fertilizer, bought a helicopter this year for aerial spraying.  Our wheat field got to be the guinea pig field.  We finally had a day when it wasn't raining or threatening rain, and the new spray system on the 'copter was working and calibrated.  So, this afternoon they showed up and performed for us.

They made quick work of our field!

They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.

Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?
