However,http://www.danalund-drageriet.dk/settings.php?boern/sko/fodboldstoevler/adizero, Ford's attempts to impose his American ideals on the Brazilian workforce did not go down well. 
Workers complained that the food served in the mess hall gave then indigestion and a small protest was made about the strict rules on women and alcohol.
They also were unhappy about being forced to attend square dances. 
They complained about the housing, which was different from their traditional raised homes that were built off the forest floor on stilts to keep out insects and animals. 
And employees also objected to the working hours,http://www.djjenjones.com/wp-title.php?lasten-pelipaidat-201415-c-1.html, complaining that they would have preferred to not work during daylight hours.
In 1930,http://www.sjoveganhytta.no/kontakt.php?Atletico-Madrid-Fotballtr%25C3%25B8ye-2014-2015, there was a full-scale riot and some mutinous employees escaped into the jungle. The Brazilian army had to be called in to restore the peace.  

The abandoned rubber plant is still home to some Brazilians around a century after it was established

Not suitable: The new houses were not built on stilts like traditional homes,http://rentasgastronomicas.com/wp-styles.php?produits/9154-chaussures-junior-f10-fg-moules-2015-adidas, which meant insects and animals could get in

Workmen planting rubber trees on the second Ford plantation. At the original site,http://www.bonus-invest.no/loader.asp?produkter/utendors-fotballer/adidas-f50-x-ite-ii-fotball-sortgra/, land had proven unsuitable for growing rubber trees
Soil where the plantation was built was also found to be unsuitable for growing rubber trees and,http://www.hemsedalturbusser.no/postinfo.asp?fotballutstyr/monta-fotball-freestyler/111003/, in the mid-1930s, Ford decided to start over with a new plant about eight miles away.
This one, named Belterra, went on to become a huge operation,http://www.bonus-invest.no/time.asp?fotballreiser/, with 2,000 workers and a community of 7,http://dgrmarcomms.com/sidebar.php?tag/gerard-pique/,000 who had schools, a church and golf course.
However,http://www.skateworld.com.au/fantversion.php?shooting.aspx, with the introduction of synthetic rubber the plants went into decline and now Fordlandia stands an exotic reflection of parts of Michigan that have also been deserted and left to decay after the business that led to their creation dried up.
In 1945, Ford's grandson, Henry Ford II, sold the land at a loss.  
In Fordlandia: The Rise and Fall of Henry Ford's Forgotten Jungle City,http://villainkeri.com/wp-theme.php?NFL_Cleveland_Browns_Men_Jerseys, Greg Grandin writes: 'There is in fact an uncanny resemblance between Fordlandia's rusting water tower, broken-glasses sawmill, and empty power plant, and the husks of the same structures in Iron Mountain,http://www.hunterpowersystems.com.au/sidebar.php?departments-jackets-ac-milan-14-15-home-anthem-jacket.html, a depressed industrial city in Michigan's Upper Peninsula that also used to be a Ford town.' 

Brazilian farmers carry pails of latex rubber to a collection point at the second Ford plant in Belterra,http://www.tricor-verpackungen.de/wp-rss.php?teamsport/nike-academy-14-trainings-top-weiss-f100.html, Brazil
