On the American Farm Bureau annual meeting blog is a nice video interview that Janice Person (@JPLovesCotton) did with Hawaii Farm Bureau president Dean Okimoto, a farmer on Oahu who mainly grows baby greens, herbs and specialty vegetables for restaurants in Oahu or to sell through farmers’ markets.

Dean talks with Janice about agriculture in Hawaii, which mainly features small farms compared to the mainland but with year-round productivity. Dean also discusses the importance of the ag community in Aloha State.

Enjoy, and be sure to check out the AFBF meeting blog for the perspectives of guest bloggers from around the country who are contributing.
