Preperation for next year

The work of growing sugar cane never ends. It is a year round processes. Last weekend we burned off our cane patches from the leaves and tops we stripped off of the cane during harvesting. We then covered the cut off stuble with plenty of soil for the up coming winter to protect from frost bite. Next spring we will uncover the stuble and sprouts will begin to sprout from the stuble. Also, we have removed our syrup pan to repostion the soil that forms the draw for the fire under the pan. More work will come during the winter such as cutting wood.
