Sugar Cane

They will cut some of it and use it for seed.
They will be finished planting some time in Sept and cut the rest to send to the sugar mill. Will finish cutting about Jan 1.

Get 3 cutting off of one planting.
After the 3rd cutting they leave the field fallow from Jan to planting time in August.

So only 1/4 of their fields are planted at any one time. We use fallow fields rather than crop rotation. These fields have had sugar cane and nothing but sugar cane on them since before the civil war.
If I were to turn around and take a picture you could see the Miss. River.
