Aloha Everyone,

I wanted to relay some information I received in the mail last week.  It was from the Maui County Community Organic Farmland Initiative.  Here is the link to their website: Maui Community Organic Farmland Initiative.  They will be holding town hall meetings at various places around the island.  The organization hopes to add an initiative to the ballot this November that will allow the public to purchase agricultural lands and turn them into locally-owned organic farms.  I encourage you all to check the website.  This initiative provides a solution to how the sugar cane lands may be used.  I will give 3 extra credit points to students who attend any of these town halls.
