One thing possibly in Mr. Ha's favor in the evaluation of potential licensees was that he has demonstrated scrupulous honesty and compliance with the laws in his prior farming efforts - something that your third generation growers might possibly not have such a good record of - which is not to say that they wouldn't have a record (with the police). No doubt they would be scrupulously honest with their inventory control (and not have half of their product going out the front door while the other half goes out the back) and their cash accounting would be flawless.

I read recently that Hawaii was the state rated highest in political corruption... I'm not saying that's why Ha got the permit...
quote:And another "knee slapper"... I am sure that all your third generation growers never used pesticides or GMO varieties and, if they did, they would certainly disclose it... Any old timers reading this might remember when the police were using paraquat (I think I am right on this; if it wasn't paraquat, it was another very nasty herbicide) to spray the growers patches and the (first and second generation) growers were harvesting the dead weed and selling it. So the police had to change from water borne paraquat to a diesel mixture in an effort to make the sprayed weed identifiable for prospective buyers... Those first and second generation growers were, I'm sure, only interested in serving the communities needs - completely altruistic, just like the third generation growers...

...So many third generation growers on the island and most grow organically..
