Early in the morning of August 31st, 2020, as Salisha Odum owner/operator of Salisha’s Delicious Organic Produce, readied her daughter for online school, they both responded immediately to the sound of a plane flying close, at low altitude, to their house and fields. 

The plane flew back and forth several times over the course of an hour, and by the third pass, Salisha said the unknown chemicals settled on the land.  

“That’s when I smelled the chemicals. And then I kind of got sick and dizzy and you know, wasn’t feeling good at that time either … we were out taking videos … because what had happened in the past … we wanted to get some footage if we could,” Odum said.
