Gov. David Ige expands the limits on numbers of people in social gatherings statewide and eliminates testing and quarantine requirements for travelers who are fully vaccinated. Photo from the Governor's Office


TWENTY-FIVE PEOPLE INDOORS AND 75 PEOPLE OUTDOORS are the new limits for social gatherings statewide under the latest COVID rules. Gov. David Ige made the announcement today setting the start date for July 8 and noted that the vaccination rate in Hawai'i should reach 60 percent by then. He also said restaurants may increase capacity to 75 percent – also with maximum group sizes of 25 indoors and 75 outdoors, starting July 8.
     Hawai`i County Mayor Mitch Roth said, "We're glad to have worked with the governor and other mayors to define a specific date for the transitioning of statewide COVID restrictions. By setting clear dates, we will be able to allow our overseas ʻohana to better plan their trips while allowing our businesses, families, and sports leagues to better prepare for the road to recovery that lies ahead."Ige also announced that effective July 8, the State of Hawai'i will eliminate its pre-travel testing/quarantine requirement for domestic travelers to Hawai'i who have been fully vaccinated in the United States. Travelers to Hawai'i must upload their CDC issued vaccination record card to the state's Safe Travels Program website and have that card with them upon arrival in the State of Hawai'i.
    "We anticipate that on or about July 8, Hawai'i will have achieved a 60 percent vaccination rate. Our residents have sacrificed and worked hard to get to this point, but we still have more to do. Please get vaccinated to protect yourselves and your loved ones. We are close to achieving a 70 percent vaccination rate, at which point all restrictions will end and we can return to the lives we remember," said the governor.
    Ige also announced that statewide vaccination goals will not affect the counties' policies regarding structured events, weddings, etc. This applies only to travel, social gatherings, and restaurants.
    He noted that a 70 percent vaccination rate will lead to termination of all restrictions. Social gatherings will no longer be restricted, and restaurants will continue to be regulated in the normal course by the Department of Health, which may establish new, permanent rules in light of the pandemic, said the governor's statement.

HAWAI'I COFFEE ASSOCIATION kicked off its two-day annual meeting this morning as a virtual event, which can be seen by the public online at https://my.demio.com/recording/fsSPtHQG. President Chris Manfredi said HCA is looking next year to its 25th annual conference as an an in-person event and "a milestone" with the return of a live trade show, silent auction and other in-person events.
    He shared that without a live event this year, with trade show, auction and other opportunities, there are fewer fundraising opportunities for HCA. He praised public and private entities that stepped up, including the co-sponsor, the state Department of Agriculture, Platinum Sponsors Monarch Coffee, Savor Brands, TricorBruan and Greenwell Farms; Gold Sponsors Satake, Kona Hills and  RCIS; and Silver Sponsors are Green Flash Coffee and Maui Grown Coffee.
  Manfredi noted that according to the USDA, Hawai'i Coffee "is ranked at $54 million industry - that's a conservative number, and it's ranked as Hawai'i's second highest valued crop. HCA is the only statewide commodity group that focuses on coffee. We have a duty and an important roll in responding to these multilayered crises. Our members are positioned throughout supply chain, including farmers, processors, wholesalers, retailers, coffee shops and many businesses and organizations that supply and support us."
     He said the primary focus of HCA has recently been on COVID recovery and Coffee Leaf Rust, "the underlying issues relating to regulations, marketing, quality assurance and traceability still remain. You know much of our work is volunteer driven. We urge you to get involved.... to contribute your skills to the organization that supports our industry and supports the many families that depend on it."
     He urged HCA members to vote for board members virtually through an email link to the ballot, open until 8 a.m. Friday.
       Registration is still being taken for Friday's sessions at www.hawaiicoffeeascoc.org. The schedule:
    From 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. will be the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture/Pacific Basin Ag Research Center Panel Update, with CLR on Hawai’i Island: Initial Insights from Six Months of Field Monitoring by Melissa Johnson;  Coffee Leaf Rust in Hawai'i, Fungal Attacker Revealed by Lisa Keith; and Coffee Leaf Rust Resistant Variety Trials in Hawai'i by Tracie Matsumoto, followed by a panel update at 10:15 a.m. from Hawai'i Agriculture Research Center and HCA.

AGRICULTURE
QUALIFY TO BECOME A BEGINNING FARMER OR RANCHER and receive benefits from the U.S. Department of Agriculture To qualify for status as a beginning farmer or rancher: Applicants must be an individual. Business entities may receive benefits only if all of the substantial beneficial interest holders (ten percent or more) of the business entity qualify as beginning farmers or ranchers. For example, a son moves home to take over the family farm and incorporates with his spouse and neither have previous farming experience. Their corporation would qualify as a beginning farmer/rancher. However, if a son moves home and forms a corporation with his father, who has had an insurable interest in crops or livestock for more than five crop years, the corporation cannot receive beginning farmer and rancher benefits. Although the son qualifies as a beginning farmer or rancher, the father does not so the corporation cannot receive benefits.
   Applicants must not have actively operated and managed a farm or ranch anywhere, with an insurable interest in any crop or livestock for more than five crop years (ten years for Whole-Farm Revenue Protection). This includes an insurable interest as an individual or as a substantial beneficial interest holder (ten percent or more) in another person who has an insurable interest in any crop or livestock. Applicants may exclude a crop year's insurable interest if they were under the age of 18, enrolled in post-secondary studies (not to exceed five crop years) or on active duty in the U.S. military.
