ALLEN CHORMAN SPEAKS

AGRICURTURAL AERIAL SPRAY PILOT

LAMENTS URBAN SPRAW 1988

When Chorman takes off the Eagle Crest airport near Lewes, he is able

to view route 1 toward Rehoboth and all the new developments.

He knows by flying over them he is jeopardizing the people below as he

is flying low as Ag sprayer's generally do.

In 1988 he had to give up 5% of his business because of encroachment

of homes and businesses on once open farmland. In spite of his 23 year

record of no accidents he just can't risk it. Farmers in the Cape area

have to do without the service.

Agricultural aerial spraying is an essential service and rescue farmers

from disaster and it helps keep food prices down.

Chorman thinks county officials need to take a stand against development

as a native Sussex Countian and not blacktop nor cement over the lands

to create another Washington, DC or Philadelphia.
