Planting Cane

Very cool. Thanks for sharing!

So that's how it's done. Neat.

Cool. I had no idea.

It would be great to see updates as the process goes on.

When I was working in the Camen's we would chew on cane while we were rebuilding their homes from the storms. The people there are so nice to us. They would always have coffee and fresh fruit at the job sites in the morning, with lunch being prepped as we were finishing breakfast. Warm hearted people who have very little to give gave us everything in thanks for rebuilding their homes after a hurricane. It was satisfying and rewarding to know these people can live happily in a home that I built/repaired for them. I also took away a life lesson I've never forgotten: Take care of your fellow man no matter the circumstances because we are all in this together and we will never win if we're alone. A very old Dominican lady told me this as I was helping her round up a goat to kill for dinner that night. I have never forgotten her face or her kind words and I know shes long passed on now but what she said will stick with me until my last breath.

Cajun & Cav, you both have my respect...thanks for making this world a better place.

Thanks for sharing this, Bradley. After the harvest, do you burn the fields, as they do in Florida?
You'll have to take some of the harvested cane and make the Vietnamese shrimp paste on cane sugar and the cane stuffed with sticky rice that's so delicious (and habit-forming). 8)

Grew up in south Fl, in the 50's & longer, always went to lake Okeechobee to fish & Saw Grass & closer at that time. Sweet snack was chewing cane. Thanks for posting, Sir.
