They Don't pay overtime eventhough they work you overtime. Break so many osha rules and regulations that if and when they catch them they'll probably close it and you had better be hispanic to get a job at all or speak a little just to get by if you are a lucky hatian or american black to get on cuz english is not the office language there.. Lol. They have little personal gardens planted all over mill field property that they tend more than the crops they manage for the mill. Amazing what white ppl let hispanics get away with just to keep from giving black men a fair shake and share on lands they farmed and know like no other..

I used to service tractors for the mill back in the day. I really believe that hemp might be a better option for Florida than cane, if any one ever googled the environmental impact of hemp they would be surprised to see the tiny footprint it leaves. Nevada just went ahead with industrial hemp and Kentucky farmers are replacing tobacco with hemp, Canada also has a rather large hemp industry and it is growing. Something to think about, Kentucky farmers call it the "Trillion dollar crop".

Busy and can have a wait time. You get the same attitude that you give to the employees. Could use some overnight parking but other than that its a ok place.

Sadly this company is helping contribute to pollution to Lake Okeechobee
For 6,000 years, excess groundwater has spilled over the southern rim of the lake, nourishing the Everglades before draining into the Florida Bay. To make way for the cane fields, engineers raised and fortified the lake’s southern shore, funneling all that excess groundwater through an array of canals, levees and pumping stations into two rivers that then dump it into the sea along Florida’s east and west coasts.
This cleared the way for the cane fields, but choked off water to the rest of the Everglades. It also infected the two rivers and South Florida’s coastlines with toxic algae.
Even more fearsome – it created a ticking time bomb in the form of a seeping dike that, should the right storm come along, could lay waste to everything and everybody in its path.
But along the Atlantic coast, the lake’s fertilizer-infused water spawned giant plumes of toxic algae, turning the ocean the color of coffee and coating the shore in slime. The fouling of the ocean was an ecological and economic calamity for South Florida’s Treasure Coast, coming as it did during the height of the winter tourist season.
Flooding, algae and pollution aren’t the only items on the sugar industry’s lobbying agenda.
A top industry priority is protecting the national sugar program, a blend of import quotas, tariffs and loan guarantees that Congress has kept in place since 1934. The American Sugar Alliance, one of several sugar trade groups, says the program is “the cheapest major commodity program because sugar farmers do not receive subsidy checks.”
But opponents say it costs American consumers billions of dollars every year – and jobs.
“Last year, on average sugar cost nearly twice as much in the United States as in the rest of the world,”
“Last year, on average sugar cost nearly twice as much in the United States as in the rest of the world,” said Bryan Riley, a senior policy analyst at The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. “That means higher prices when you buy your Halloween candy. It also means that your Halloween treats may well have been produced in another country, since many candy producers have had to relocate to escape high U.S. sugar prices.”
A 2015 analysis by Mark J. Perry of the American Enterprise Institute found the sugar program costs consumers and businesses more than $3 billion annually. A 2013 study by Iowa State University found the sugar program costs consumers up to $3.5 billion a year – and up to 20,000 jobs.
Defenders of the program, such as Rubio, argue that it’s needed so the United States doesn’t become dependent on other nations for sugar. But many of those same defenders have become dependent on sugar interests for campaign money. Florida Crystals gave a Rubio political group $250,000 in December 2015. Two months later, U.S. Sugar gave it $100,000.response / report this review -

Had a load appointment at 10am from here had to run to Miami to pick a return load back to Tampa Florida. Got there at 9am they put me in a door at 10am they did not touch my trailer after four hours. It was a miracle that I got my return load in Miami on time. These people are Union. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME IN THIS DUMP!@

the sugar industry is a traditional staple of Florida's economy. that being said, who puts a factory in the middle of the swamp? pump your toxic waste into the Gulf and charge the taxpayer extra, like Texaco.

Extremely poor signage. No marked or convenient parking for live load/unload trucks. No signage in scale house of instructions. No signage for correct scale to be on. All signage is dirty almost to not readable. Union worker attitude ( I don't know, that's not my job). Lots of bugs getting into the vehicle. Humidity is suffocating.
