Remember those days well…always mud on roads and highways, bugass piled up on bayfront shore, Hilo bay always brown water including hamakua coast..but with all that lots of good fishing in Hilo 👍🏼…good old days 🤙🏽

Had a chance to do this back in 1970, but I declined it. Too bad. One of the highest paid union jobs anywhere in the US at that time. I do remember the sounds and smells up and down the Hamakua Coast, from Hilo north to Kukui Haele.

Que forma. De cultivar mas.horrible y destructiva

My dad used to work for Mauna kea sugar co you should love the smell of the Old sugar plantation the good old days riding shotgun with my dad on the old auto car

Yep sure was a good place to grow weed in

The good old days when the road was full of mud

i can almost hear the screams from the old plantations

Forget trying to keep your truck clean if driving Hilo to Waimea...red mud all over the road which would turn to grease when it rained heavy...selfishly, I was glad to see them go.

Shortly after making this delusional propaganda film, old Morgan sold the company.... he shat on this place, wiped his ass and moved on.

Probably out of business by now

I remember in the 60s Enos road right across, had alot of sugar cane, we used to watch the air plane drop fertilizers on the cane, I had a lot of family working at the plantation. These was the days was very good, plantation workers work very hard.I witness all this.

Do you have any still shots of these trucks? I am a scale model builder and would one day like to replicate these in 1/25th scale.

A lot of people depended on the sugar companies all over Hawaii but those times are gone now and people have moved on. This film seems like a propaganda piece put out by the company so those nervous Nellies wouldn't freak out about the impending loss of their jobs...it gave them hope (false hope) and kept the mills running until the end.

All that heavy machinery, monocrop, and never ending spraying of chemicals, not exactly good for the land, was it....

Awesome video thank you for sharing
