Is drone spraying the same as crop dusting near Clark County?

Essentially, yes — drone spraying is the modern form of crop dusting.

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.
