Hawaii farmers hurt by this year's storms and flooding can now get free help checking their land and water.

• UH Manoa's tropical agriculture college is reopening its free soil and water testing program for farmers statewide.
• The program started in April and is opening up applications again.
• Testing shows farmers how much the storms damaged their soil or water, so they know what needs fixing.
• The offer comes as the National Guard wraps up months of storm and wildfire cleanup work across the state.

Outlook: Farmers who sign up can expect results showing whether their land is still safe to grow on after the storms.
