Harvesting the Sugar Cane

The first time I saw a night time fire I was very concerned and wondered if we should all run.  Now I love to stand by and watch - it is as beautiful as the setting of the sun.  

Before a harvest the workers burn the sugar cane field at night to flush out any animals and bugs and to burn off any leafy material. Then they harvest the remaining strong stock of the sugar cane.  These stocks gets transported to a processing facility and eventually makes it to our tables as sugar.
