We produce 80% of the food and agricultural products grown on Hawaii Island…
Hawaii Farmers and Ranchers deserve the Right to Farm…
Please ask the Hawaii County Council to Vote No on Bill 113 …
- Answer the questions first, Understand agriculture, Farmers and then craft laws; Do what is Right for all Farmers, not a vocal minority that lacks respect and aloha for our community…
- Insist that a taskforce of stakeholders and experts be convened to research & study how we can achieve food self-sufficiency and food security that benefits us all and not just the vocal minority.
- We are the Community, We feed the Community; No one asked Us…Why must we defend what we do?
-
Freedom of Choice, farmers should be able to grow all legal crops, we support all agriculture, GMO, conventional, and organic. We can co-exist and work together.
-
We’re Farmers not Criminals; we shouldn’t register like one.Support Hawaii Farmers, don’t make them criminals, Registration is wrong.
-
This Bill will discourage research to help local agriculture. We may need help with Citrus Greening, Banana Bunchie Top Virus and other agricultural challenges.
-
What’s the costs of this unfunded Bill? There are policies, administration, implementation and enforcement (The Kauai Bill cost is estimated at $1.25 million? Which line item in the current budget should taxpayers forfeit for Bill 113?
