I believe papaya are exempt from this. What I cannot find information on, is what will happen with the bishop estate property being leased by Monsanto. Will they be allowed to continue to spray what they are spraying and do whatever else they are doing for the remainder of their lease here?
Did you call KSBE and ask them what ramifications this has on their lease? I'm sure they'd tell you. There is a local land use office here on this island, I think located in Kona. Give them a call and see what they can offer. Just a suggestion.
Also have great respect for Mr. Ha. He's been in the agriculture business for decades. I believe the first my memory provides is in 1950's or thereabouts. Say what you will about Mr. Ha, but he is solid as pahoehoe, in my opinion. A good source of factual information, and a very decent human being. JMO.
