cropduster
Low-flying farmer's helper
A cropduster is a small aircraft used to spray pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers over agricultural fields.
The pilot who flies such a plane is also called a cropduster.
As slang, a cropduster is someone who passes gas while walking through a crowd, leaving others to discover it: He cropdusted the whole meeting room.
