Sugar cane is grown in our area and it alway draws attention when it is burned. Ed was outside talking to the neighbors when someone noticed a lot of smoke in the sky --- someone was burning cane.

Ed grabbed the camera and walked to the edge of the RV park and managed to shoot some photos of the cane burning even though the field was at least a mile away.

The smoke cloud. The black specks are red wing blackbirds that are still hanging around the now ex corn field.

A tractor drives along the edge of the field with a blow torch and starts the fire.
