Blimey! With wings like that it'd only take a stiff breeze & the damned thing'd be airborne! :icon_surprised:

What purpose do the four holes in the wing leading edge serve.  Two on the right wing and two on the left wing.  I was thinking at first these might be for landing lights as a first good guess but more thought on the purpose has me guessing that it might be ram-air intakes for the crop dusting equipment. 

Anyone else have an explanation?

First guess was right Jeff ... landing lights. IIRC, during spray runs, those lights can be made to strobe to increase visibility.

Thanks for the confirmation!  The duplication on both wings was the confusing factor but it makes sense for the low-level work that aircraft is designed for.  Surprised there are no other bells and whistles beyond the strobe lights.

Yeah, as much as I would like to joke that they are gun ports for big bugs, they are lights.  You can see them in this turboprop variant:
