Narrative:

AWOS winds reported 100 [at] 3 - direct crosswind. Normal traffic calls made on ppa unicom frequency. After turning final for runway 17 at ppa; both pilot flying and pilot not flying witnessed an ag aircraft turning low final for runway 35. A go-around was initiated while altering course to the right. Entered right traffic for runway 17 and returned for normal landing.the lack of radio communication/monitoring practiced by the ag aircraft operator lead to reduced situational awareness for both aircraft. Could be prevented by proper use of aim radio techniques by ag aircraft operator.
