This sucks.
The Big Island's Mauna Kea Banana Co. is ending its banana production operations after more than 30 years in business.
Nine of the company's 30 workers will be laid off immediately and another 20 will lose their jobs in three months after the final banana harvest.....
You can read Richard Ha's Blog from March 31st and you had a feeling it was going to happen.
This blog talks about how rising fuel prices are hurting farmers all over the big island.
