Description
the sugar cane is cut from a field that is growning this year. iIt is cut about 3 to four feet long and is called mother cane. At ever two joints on the cane there is a eye. The eye is where the new cane comes from.
The cane that is not cut will be cut when the sugar content is at the right level this year around Nov. to Dec. I hope to get some shots inside the sugar mill. I got to talk to them.
You see on these three diff canes is a little eye like at one of the joints. yES THAT IS MY HAND AND I KNOW IT is dirty for I did not go home yet to take a bath. i got some white on the bottom of the nail because I was working with sheet rock mud that day at work
thanks for looking and comments

Now I know :o) ....cool shot !
Fantástic detail and very illustrative photo my friend....!!!!
Great to see this, and just how the cane will grow. Great detail and a wonderfully informative series, Jock!
Another great capture and good information Jocko, I couldn't understand how they planted the cane at first, this throws a new light on it. It was the eye's that I couldn't quite understand, but seeing these images it's not much different to planting potato's. It doesn't matter which way up they are the shoots will head for daylight. As for the hands Jocko, mine get like that all the time, if I step out into the garden I come in with dirt under my nails. I don't have to touch soil but it still gets there. Any man/woman who works with their hands gets the same way. Excellent handheld macro's, and first class information. I hope you manage to get inside the sugar cane plant, that would be very interesting. I tried yeterday to get into a stone quarry but they would not allow me to enter, even though I had my HighVis vest steel toecap boots and hard hat. I wanted to get some pics of them blasting. Superb work and a fantastic series. Bravo!!!!!
Great pic and information!
Goob post. Hope to see more.
These are cool pics! Roots to be! (:

Great closeup, Jock. And very interesting story about the life of a sugar cane... And for the hands... a man that never get dirty hands, don't know what work is :) +5
This is a really fascinating series and I have learned and seen so much. Great shots!!!
Very interesting !
That's so cool! I suspected that's what the eye would look like. I'm really learning alot about sugar cane. Fascinating stuff!
Wonderful captures. Has been very informative. I remember back when I was a girl in Kansas my mom would buy us sugar cane from the store to chew on.
Fantastic work, Jock. Here we have a sugar factory too. It's mostly chemists and machines, and ours is beet sugar. I don't even know if it's used any more, because we used to see the big farm trucks filled with the beets driving to the factories on the highways and now we don't. A lot of the farms have gone to developers. One time the storage tank for the molasses collapsed and the stuff flowed on the street for several city blocks. It was February and heavy snow, and it messed up traffic for a really long time. It wasn't molasses in January, but pretty much the closest to it I ever saw. I wish I could do a series like yours, for beets, but here it's probably way too late. :D Great to document it like you do. You never know!
Informative and direct.
