Dear Mr. Yagong,
I wish to provide my support regarding the use oT Counry lands "i~r~1 productbn". I would hope the County
would gA~e tt'5 own cttizens first options for diversified farm u:.e i'~rit,re it is offered to outside foreign
Corporations. The attractive bw annual lease rates tentatively of<~r~~u for wood chip produdlon would be a
great irtCenthre to bcal farmers and ex-sugar workers anxious. to ~ nff of welfare and become Conte iDi Rors to
the system. I personally Delleve crops such as coffee and hardv. rird trees could become the fuel needed to
move air economy forward M Is Important to provkfe for m4~~inrr;m crnployment both in the fanning slags and
In the completion of the product cycle. There is a lremendou~: ells Ference behveen shipping wood chips off to
Japan vs. roasting and selling coffee or producing Koa fumiturr~ ,•~r ~~~oridv+ide sales.
