Fortunately there is a good article explaining this amendment in today's Tribune Herald. It explains one benefit I hadn't thought of that could benefit Puna.
A group of small farmers could band together to establish a commercial kitchen to create value added products from the crops they produce. These bonds would be at a lower interest rate than Bank of Hawaii would charge.
Taxpayers ARE NOT on the hook for paying the loan off, only the farmers who made the loan.
