Opens with bird’s eye view shot of Hawaiian Islands. Camera zooms in on pineapple among plants with long, blade-like leaves. Shot of a long machine with a conveyer belt skimming along the tops of pineapple plants in a field. People follow the machine, picking pineapples and dropping them on the conveyer belt. In another field—consisting of rich, plowed, volcanic soil—a man plants pineapple tops in rows. Shot of a banana tree, then close up of a banana bunch/cluster. Sugarcane plants in a field. Another shot of a sugarcane field, this time with smoke among the plants. They are being burned to evaporate excess moisture and to remove unwanted leaves. A crane lifts a pile of sugarcane stalks from ground and drops in truck. In a children’s garden, a young boy and girl crouch on ground and pull weeds by hand. Other boys use hoes to remove weeds. An alert deer watches the children from where the field merges into a wooded area. A woodchuck nibbles at a plant.
