Crop duster pilots in central Illinois say low corn prices have cut into profits this year.

Murray Brian owns Brian Agricultural Aviation in Pekin. According to reports, he explains lower prices mean farmers are less willing to spend money this year.

A wet growing season like the one experienced this year by Illinois farmers would usually mean extra work and extra money for crop dusters.

The National Weather Service says rainfall totals across the state were well over average in June, a key growing month.

Brian says that since farmers are less willing to spend he's having just an average year.
