Mr. Mattingly, a well-to-do farmer, has a legal right to apply pesticides to his fruit trees. One year, he decided to hire a crop-dusting airplane to spread a pesticide on his orchard. An unexpected gust of wind blew the chemical onto a neighbor's beehives, killing all the bees. The neighbor sued Mattingly for the value of the 60 beehives. Mattingly argued that a good fruit farmer has to apply pesticides and that the crop duster had exercised extreme caution in applying the chemicals. How would you decide this case? Explain your answer.
