Ag-flying. Checklists, what do you use?

Hey fellas,
This is probably a dumb question but as a matter of interest, what checklists do you guys use for the various phases of your flight. I think I've got a reasonable set but would be interested to know if there are any better systems out there. For example

Pre-Takeoff
F Fuel sufficient ( important enough to get its own F)
H Hoppper, doors shut and level, Hatches, Hose disconnected
T Trim set
F Flap set
C Computer set (counter for solids)

At the Job
W Wind
W Wires
W Whingers (not PC I know but starts with a W and covers things like susceptible crops, school buses, neighbours etc

Pre landing
Standard BUMPF checks.

Anybody EVER do a pre-takeoff performance calc' in an ag-plane?

Cheers,
DB
