Sugar Cane Harvest

I recently went to visit my roommates parents with her and while there I wanted the sugar cane harvest in one of her father's fields. I also got to taste sugar cane fresh cut from the field which was amazing and yummy.

cutting the cane. apparently this is really dangerous for their feet. They walk around bare footed and this field is full of the chopped stems of the plants. A couple of them had bandages wrapped around their feet.





It was a pretty interesting experience and the works thought it was hilarious, just like the rice farmers I previously visited, that a white girl was there taking photos of them.
