cane fields
Tropical harvest rows
Cane fields are agricultural lands planted with sugarcane—tall tropical grasses cultivated for sugar production.
The term evokes plantation agriculture and its history of enslaved and exploited labor in the Caribbean, American South, and other sugar-producing regions: Workers bent over in the cane fields under brutal sun.
Cane fields are burned before harvest to remove leaves and drive out snakes.
