DAYS OF MY YOUTH - MYRON KASHIMA
PINEAPPLES DON'T GROW ON TREES!
Pineapple plants are herbaceous perennials that can reach 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide. The pineapple fruit grows on a stalk in the center of the rosette of leaves
At age 15, I was too young to work at the sugar plantation where my dad worked, so instead, I worked at a small family owned farm picking pineapples.
We had to wear a hat and long sleeved shirt and jeans. We put on chaps to protect our pants from getting torn and used heavy leather gloves for our hands. We also wore wire mesh goggles to protect our eyes from the pokey long leaves of the pineapple plants. As you can imagine, the hot sun and protective clothing made us miserable.
Our day started early in the morning, we would gather at the boom truck in the morning, hang our lunch on the boom and wait to start working. Occasionally, when we were early, we would eat a cold ripe pineapple straight off of the plant. I remember how delicious it was! All of us would follow the "boom" truck through the fields. We would twist the pineapple off of the plant, then holding the crown, snap the pineapple off onto the conveyer belt that would then dump the fruit into the truck. The faster the truck went, the faster we had to work. Twist, snap, twist, snap....our wrists would hurt after awhile.
One day, we noticed a weak spot on the seam on the conveyor belt and we all started hitting that spot to break the belt. We thought we would get some time off. No luck, after it broke, they handed us 50 lb. burlap bags and we had to walk into the fields to pick the pineapples and CARRY them back to the truck. Needless to say, it turned out to be a dumb idea.
I hated to work on the older "ratoon" crops as some of the old fruits were rotten and often full of yellow jackets. Every so often one of the workers would disturb a beehive and then start running. You learned to run fast too. I got smart and ran in a different direction as all the other guys as most of the time, the bees were chasing the one who disturbed the hive. I think I was paid around $1.25 per hour. (My mom said my lunch cost more than what I was paid.) I only worked in the pineapple field that one summer. So the next time you have some sweet pineapples from Hawaii, picture a scrawny young kid picking pineapples years ago in the hot sun. Aloha, Myron

HAIKU FARMS MINUTE
(Monthly update on the rebirth of our family farm on Kauai) Updated by Clarice
The weather has been so bad, we were drowning in mud from all the thunder storms. We had completed planting another 100 ti-leaf stalks and Rory cleared the back area before all the rain started. In addition to the four legged critters eating the plants (which we still haven't caught), we have to worry about two-legged ones stealing money from cash box at the fruit stand. Someone has been cutting off our lock, taking the money and putting their own lock on. This is the second time this has happened. Rory has been cutting the locks off each time. The nerve of these people doing this!

 PINEAPPLE INDUSTRY IN HAWAII James Dole, known as the Pineapple King, is best recognized for advancing the pineapple industry in Hawaii. In 1900 he purchased 61 acres in Central Oahu and began experimenting with pineapple. In 1901 he incorporated the Hawaiian Pineapple Company and began growing pineapple commercially. In 1907, Dole created a cannery near the Honolulu harbor. This cannery, at one time the world's largest cannery, remained in operation until 1991. In 1922, James Dole bought the entire island of Lanai, known as the Pineapple Island, and converted it from an island with 150 people into the largest pineapple plantation in the world with 20,000 pineapple plantation acres and over a thousand pineapple workers and their families. Pineapple production on Lanai ended in October 1992. Pineapple and Hawaii Today Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. announced that after 90 years in Hawaii, they harvested their last crop of pineapple on Oahu in 2008. Pineapple can be produced much cheaper in other parts of the world. This decision left about 700 pineapple workers without a job and only two companies which grow pineapple in Hawaii - Dole Food Hawaii and Maui Pineapple Co. Today, Hawaii's pineapple production does not even rank within the top ten of the world's pineapple producers. Worldwide, the top producers are Thailand (13%), the Philippines (11%) and Brazil (10%). Hawaii produces only about 2 % of the world's pineapple. Fewer than 1,200 workers are now employed by the pineapple industry in Hawaii. http://alohaisles.com/molokai/pineapple.html
