PESTS/DISEASE
Fortunately there is not much to report on this front- certainly nothing serious except for those wild chickens. Several clutches were found, including a 9 egg clutch, which was eaten with a pork butt and enjoyed immensely.

OTHER CHALLENGES
Keeping up with all the landscaping.

SUCCESSES
Production. We have been executing a string of record harvests all summer long.

It has always been taken for granted, but same day delivery. On Sunday June 21, a fire in Maalaea prevented immediate delivery, forcing the farm manager to stage the valuable harvest till 12:30 am the next day, when the roads cleared and delivery was made to the restaurant at 1:30am.

LABOR
Labor has been very consistent and is being taxed with seasonal chores that revolve around production and landscaping.

EQUIPMENT/SUPPLIES/INFRASTRUCTURE
Several projects that have been started but have yet to be completed are…
1. Citrus tree artificial mulching, irrigation, and fertilizer vents.
2. New coffee tree plantings with irrigation.
3. Farm Kiosk for retail and produce sales.
4. Retail shop and storage adjacent to picnic grounds.
5. Parking shed for tractors and diesel fuel adjacent to greenhouses.
6. Clearing of Wattle in strategic locations.
7. Farm product development.

While all are not critical, some are becoming so (#6) and many will eventually help to maximize the farm potential.
