"...Unfortunately we didn't have the same million dollar insurance policies on our ohia trees that Richard Ha had on his banana trees..."
What do you base this statement on, that Richard Ha has (or collected, by inference) million dollar policies on plants? There is crop insurance, but it's for natural disasters limited to weather, not disease or nutritional deficiencies. ROD is islandwide and not limited to the PGV surroundings. Fly from Waimea to Puna along the slopes of Mauna Kea, far from any geothermal haze, and you see it from makai to mauka.
You're bringing up something so inaccurate (crop insurance) and so irrelevant (ROD) that it would seem you want to change the subject. Of your own thread. On the 7th page.
