Joseph DeFrank wants the UH College of agriculture to move to the Big Island to support local agriculture. 

But the bulk of agriculture in the state is concentrated on Oahu where the majority of people live. This is the market for agricultural products and the only sustainable way is for Farmers to move to Oahu to grow their crops. 

There is very little need to expand agriculture on the big island compared to Honolulu. In Honolulu we have about 50,000 Acres of a agricultural land but only about 10% is used. 

The real problem is the lack of farmers. Kids today want to work in air-conditioned offices. We will continue to need immigrants who want to work in the hot sun in the fields of Hawaii agriculture. 

So keep the College of agriculture in Hawaii and we will have the educational resources and extension agents in Honolulu to meet our needs in a sustainable future.
