That's good to hear, 'cause I can certify that they're not particularly 
hip to it on the Big Island (USDA that is - nor anyone else in 
ag-bureaucracy-land afaik).

Do you have any names and contact info of those in Hawai'i who claimed 
interest?  And were those USDA folks that SARE folks were talking about, 
or SARE folks themselves (I don't fully grok how SARE would fit in there 
- are they more than a grant-giving agency?).

thx,
John S.
