Recognize also that cropdusting equipment presumes the active ingredients will be dissolved in some liquid medium (e.g., water) in order to properly disperse the contents.

The dilution rate for tractor drawn spraying equipment is in the order of 30:1. In aerial spraying, the dilution rate is something less (5 or 10:1). Accordingly, whatever is to be sprayed will be a.) in liquid format and b.) diluted with water (or some other solvent).

These conditions may or may not be conducive to anthrax in coated powder form. But they may be particularly suitable to some other biological or chemical agent.

One continues to wonder why, in the face of all this circumstantial evidence, the FBI still appears to be focussed on the lone domestic terrorist theory.

I wonder what happens if you put a very fine powder in this equipment, without dissolving it in a liquid medium. Will it spray at all? Will it clog?
