“<br />
Of all the dangers<br />
that are in a job, with all<br />
the training you do, it just<br />
becomes normal work that<br />
I don’t really think of as<br />
dangerous anymore.”<br />

Even though many people head to the lakes<br />
in the summertime, you’ll often find Eric<br />
Klindt flying in the sky. As an ag pilot with<br />
Wilbur-Ellis Agribusiness in Wahpeton,<br />
N.D., Klindt is putting his more than 20<br />
years of experience in aerial spraying to<br />
good use.<br />
<strong>The</strong> late David Yaggie from Breckenridge,<br />
Minn., first got Klindt involved with aerial<br />
spraying. Klindt had always wanted to<br />
farm, so he helped Yaggie and his son both<br />
in a tractor on their farm and in a plane<br />
with aerial spraying. Later, he attended<br />
<strong>The</strong> University of Minnesota Crookston,<br />
where he received his commercial pilot’s<br />
license and aerial applicator training.<br />
Even though he really enjoys flying itself<br />
and how every day is different, there’s<br />
something else he loves more than<br />
anything.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> best part is that you get paid to do a<br />
job that you love to do,” he said.<br />
