South America: Fumigation footage

This raw unedited footage shows fumigation planes flying low over farms near the Ecuadorian border. They were trailed by clouds of herbicide, which kills crops of coffee, yucca, peanuts and bananas.

The United States-financed spraying is supposed to kill illegal coca bushes, the base ingredient for making cocaine. But as one farmer said, "They fumigated the whole land, corn, rice, bananas, pineapples and forage...the three animals we had, cows and calves, died three weeks later."
