Parse that again - I'm not sure that they are actually cropdusting in New Zealand.

I have not heard of anything here in NZ (where we don't call it cropdusting anyway), but who knows.

> Pyka has developed a placeholder business doing crop dusting in New Zealand. That helps it earn $600 per hour while logging the hours necessary to prepare for the human transportation market.

It depends on what "developed" means, but the next sentence seems to say they are currently earning $600 ph from it. I suppose it could be parsed to mean that a hypothetical "business" earns that.

Hi lance, they really are. Not sure how much of the plan is public yet but they provided detail in person.

PS: we do call it cropdusting
