They are targeting agriculture; while ignoring other users including the Schools; disregarding EPA guidelines. Outside interests in their zealousness to target the seed industry is harming Hawaii farmers and undermining Hawaii's ag sustainability.

Bills like HB 790 will harm Hawaii's small farmers since the seed industry already voluntarily complies and discloses. Now with its amendments, it could require "any person" including homeowners, hotels, anyone who purchases more than one gallon (1 gallon weighs 8 pounds) a year to file reports, post public signs and provide notifications. How exactly will the State enforce this Bill if enacted? 

HB790 its not just a notification bill; it will require additional burdens and resources for farmers to comply with; this at a time when many are already asking themselves why farm. Meanwhile, the Governor has asked that we double our food production, that is not possible without crop protection methods or farmers.
