I'm still waiting for results from 2007 and you guys have results for 2009.
Ia Orana Lawelani,
Unfortunately we are totally dependent on the individual producers for official results. We've tried to get as much as possible but we can only post what we are given, request or in some cases, beg for.
We'll attempt to get more from Merced. Check back every so often to see if we were successful.
We'd also like to encourage you to contact directly and request that they release the information.
If you do get, we'd love it if you would forward it to us. I'm sure you're not alone in wanting this.
Mauru'uru. Scott
