How to keep agriculture/farming viable in Hawaii?

[Menehune]

Aloha kakou!

Not sure which forum to run this on - here or farming & gardening?

"Little Miss Muffet" got off her tuffet - went to the market to buy some eggs!
And to her surprise - her wandering eyes found no eggs to share - the racks were BARE!

How to keep agriculture/farming viable in Hawaii? Is it a lost battle?

It started with new labeling and the first thing it affected was "Loco Moco"!

Then even stricter regulations and there went Maui eggs!

Now it's Hawai'i's turn and your choice is Oahu or "mainland" eggs!

Let's not stop with eggs - and Oahu is not immune to these happenings - how about milk!

I really don't like the feeling of helplessness I have reading these events and the long term damage it will have for ALL Hawai'i.

Uncle Sam once again protecting us from ourselves - rules and regulations are necessary for a safe society - BUT what about when they HURT the society?
