Narrative:
We had been doing pattern work; we were on our third landing. We made radio calls on downwind; base and final; while looking for traffic. On final we were on glide slope for 36 when all of a sudden I see a crop duster plane off to my left make a sharp left turn to avoid hitting us. We did a go around and departed to the northwest to head back to our home airport.
