A Farmer's diary - 4

Today is Wednesday. I want to clean the field and prepare to plant white sugarcane.
Weather: cloudy and cool, the soil is dry
Temperature: 25 degrees centigrade
Time: 06:15


Sugarcane belongs to the grass family. It requires strong sunlight and abundant water to grow satisfactorily.




Sugarcane looks like a bamboo cane, where sucrose is stored within.



This is how it is planted.
My water buffaloes will enjoy eating its leaves and my kids will love to drink fresh, sweet sugarcane juice.
