Caller reports the material instantly gave them a scratchy throat. Caller could not describe the odour as it was not something that he has smelled before. Caller was concerned that the material was a pesticide. Caller did not know who owned the corn field that was sprayed. The spraying was taking place on a wheat and corn field and he could taste the spray. His windows were up in the vehicle at the time. XXXXX said the helicopter looked dark blue or black. There was no spray boom on either side of the helicopter.
