State Fines Crop Duster

The Office of the Indiana State Chemist has leveled $250 fine against a pilot who sprayed a group of two dozen detasselers with pesticide.

The Bi-State Helicopters Inc. pilot was spraying fungicide on a field near Williamsport.

Some of the chemicals drifted onto a neighboring field where corn detasselers were working.

They were taken to a hospital to be decontaminated.

No severe injuries were reported.

The pilot told investigators he didn’t see the detasselers.
