A film details the work of the genetic laboratory in Hawaii that cross-breeds canes from countries around the world in order to create new hybrids that will be more resistant to disease and insect pests and produce a higher yield of sugar.

Life on the Plantation - in an Era When Cane Was King
The Big Island's Hilo Coast was the classic plantation community with brawny mills, tidy camps and broad fields of billowing green. A boy could ride the flumes, watch the Sunday cockfights or spend his pennies at the general store. And a man could make an honest living in the green rows of cane or the brawny, bustling sugar mills. Scotch Kurisu was born into this world and never left, working his way from field hand to a position on the board of directors. Sugar Town is his own story -- a broad overview peppered with fascinating anecdotes and more than 70 archival photos. Its a story that helps preserve the spirit of a bygone era.

Merge
[edit]Not sure what the above was - someone trying to sell their book?
Anyway, I proposed merging this together with the general Hamakua article, and have one sourced article instead of two unsourced ones. If it ever gorws too large the coast could certainly be split off again in the future. W Nowicki (talk) 00:14, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
