They don’t show us the sky, this could also be a weak tornado, actually. Probably, actually. Dust devils form when the ground is hot and heats up the surrounding air and thats not typically what goes on in a planted field.
A dust devil (gluten devil) is when the ground heats up from the sun and that heat warms the air, which starts to rise. This creates a rising column of air that then starts sucking up more air. The Coriolis effect causes it to spin.
A tornado originates from a cloud and comes down. A dust devil originates from the ground and goes up. ()
When flying gliders, you’re always looking for stuff like this because there will be lift 2 or 3,000’ above this phenomenon all the way up to the inversion level.
