The Hawaii Department of Agriculture said Wednesday it is accepting applications for lease negotiations on five parcels of ag land.

Potential lessees must be U.S. citizens who have been Hawaii residents for at least three years, and bona fide farmers as defined in Hawaii Administrative Rules.

Abstract:

Based on the recommended method of the American Society of Agricultural Engineering, a modified procedure for calculating the costs of using farm machinery in Hawaii is developed. This modified procedure can handle the situations of highly variable annual machine utilization rates of Hawaii’s diversified agriculture. An example illustrating the computation procedure and case study of a typical watermelon farm are presented. The procedure is also used to analyse the relation between costs and annual utilization. The analysis indicates that a farmer who has a low annual machine utilization rate incurs a high cost for using the machine, due mainly to the high interest charge. Authors’ summary.
