Your operation was selected for our annual Special Crops survey. Your cooperation is needed to help us accurately estimate for this important sector of Hawaii’s agriculture. Information requested in this survey is used to prepare estimates of selected agricultural commodities. Under Title 7 of the U.S. Code and CIPSEA (Public Law 107-347), facts about your operation are kept confidential and used only for statistical purposes in combination with similar reports from other producers. Response is voluntary.
