Hi Johns,

The fellow I spoke to in Hawai'i was super friendly, and his contact 
information is:

Richard Bowen           
University of Hawaii
Dept. of NREM
Sherman Lab
Honolulu, HI 96822              
rbowen@hawaii.edu 
Phone: (808) 956-8419

He's the "State Extension Leaders for Sustainable Agriculture" in 
Hawai'i, meaning he's the SARE contact for Hawai'i - but he must be 
involved with local extension services as well.  He said he's pretty busy 
at the moment, and I told him I'd keep in touch with him, but feel free 
to contact him.

peace
*Stephanie

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.
