Garrett Lindell, Lindell Aerial Ag Service, Aledo, IL. is the Treasurer for the National Agricultural Aviation Association. I visited with him at the BASF booth during the NAAA convention. He’s also a BASF fan and is pictured with Sue Koning, BASF.

Garrett says his business is about 15 years old. He’s got 6 planes on the field and hires up to 7 or 8 pilots during the peak of the season. With wet weather in his area this past season he says fungicides have been a big part of his business. I asked him what he thinks about my sponsor, BASF, and you’ll hear him say only good things. Like other NAAA folks I’ve spoken with he says that the convention attendance has been higher than expected. He’s also got a very positive outlook for the future of the aerial application business.

Apparently Garrett was the live auction winner of the PT6 engine donated by Pratt & Whitney Canada. Ag aviation newspaper, AgAir Update, got a short video statement from him on his winnings:
