canefield

Tropical crop expanse

A canefield is a field where sugarcane is cultivated.

The term appears primarily in regions with sugar industries—the Caribbean, Louisiana, Queensland, Brazil.

Canefields dominate the landscape in sugar-producing areas, and the word carries associations with plantation labor and harvest seasons: Workers moved through the canefields at dawn.
