Day 84 - Sugar up.



The cane cutting season is well on its way.  The fluffy tops of cane are starting to blow in the breeze.  Ready for the cutter to swoop through, cut, collect in the tractor and onto cane trains.  When cane first started in this country it was intense hard labour.  A spectacular site bore witness to the start of the season with fields set on fire to rid of the rodents, rubbish before all cut by hand.  With the introduction of machines a controlled burn is a very rare thing to see.  At least you can still see the cool fluffy tops.  :)
