Home

SIMPSON: We originally, when we came from Canada, we came from a rural area, and it's been very important to me since we've been there to keep that land being productive. We have a 2 -1/2 -acre piece that has had ginger, sweet potatoes on it, and it's being planted right now with taro, in addition to the about 200 fruit trees we've had, we've planted another 30 this year. We're looking at planting more breadfruit, more bananas, just to, because it's agricultural land, it should be used as that, and we've been able to do that and still run the bed and breakfast business on a very small piece of the land. HENKEL: Any more questions? Thank you. You may be seated. I have no one signed up to testify. If there's anyone in attendance today that would like to testify, you can come forward now or submit written testimony, and if not, we would look for a motion to close the public testimony portion.
