I have been a Taro farmer here in Hilo for 28 years. I am so busy I have not had time to
properly investigate all the damn hullabaloo that has been stirred up by trying to shove
more GMO crops at the people of Hawaii without due process.
While I'm not up to date on the ramifications of GMO Taro and have not had time to study
it, I think that what has happened in the past in this state with both Corn and Papaya is
DEFINITELY NOT in the best interests of the good people of this state.
Why not give us a year to properly find out about this proposed modification and truly
understand what it means for us farmers?
Sincerely,
Dean Pinner
