Description: ‘Pineapple Culture’ (1955) 10m, prod. Paul Hoefler. Just about everything you ever wanted to know about pineapple. Here, workers are shown planting young plants on the island of Lanai, bent over and using a since-outlawed short-handled hoe, to the tune of 5-7,000 plants per day per worker. Filmed at Del Monte's massive holdings, the film discusses planting and harvesting techniques, pest control and fertilization.
