I don't think that there are any arf's that make a bi-plane crop duster, but my father in law used to fly a Grumman ag-cat. I always thought they were pretty cool.

The Golden Oldie comes in two sizes and is a popular small bipe and the plans are available from RC Modeler.

It has a low parts count and is easy to build

Not sure on a kit but GP makes a Stearman ARF. They used to use them as crop dusters. The ARF could be modified.
