Narrative:
While performing ground reference maneuvers with a student we had a close call with a crop-duster. Not sure the make/model of the aircraft. The student was looking for reference points to perform maneuvers while I looking for traffic. We had already performed a clearing turn. I looked up and a crop-duster was flying from right to left overtop of us close enough to make me jump and push forward on the yoke to ensure we avoided him.
