- Is drone spraying the same as crop dusting near Seeley Lake?
- Essentially, yes — drone spraying is the modern form of crop dusting. Traditional crop dusting used low-flying manned aircraft; today, around Seeley Lake, the same job (applying fungicides, herbicides, and fertility from the air) is increasingly done by unmanned spray drones. Drones fly lower and slower, drift less, need no airstrip, and can treat small, wet, or irregular fields a plane can't — which is why many growers searching for a "crop duster" now hire a drone operator.
