MILLVILLE, N.J. (CNN/KYW) - Birds are dropping from the sky in a town in southern New Jersey.

Crews found hundreds of dead or dying birds on Tuesday.

It turns out they were killed by a farmer who had been given a permit to use a pesticide.

The farm reportedly has lost an estimated $15,000 so far this year from birds eating its crops.
