The Sugar Cane Cycle in the Dominican Republic

 

The two pictures below were taken in March, 2005, immeditely after a harvest.

The cane is ready for harvest when it sends up a shoot topped with a feather

The harvesting pictures were taken in March, 20006. The wagons are entering the batey Copeyito where there is a factory. There are train tracks in Copeyito, so I believe they send the processed cane out by train, but I wasn't there long enough to see that happen.
