Lucky guys get to drive the equipment which picks up the sugar cane. They must be related to the bosses. Trailers haul the canes to the refineries. There the cane is chopped, boiled, the sucrose is extracted, they mix it with some chemicals of some kind, and you have white cane sugar. Mexico is 5th in the world in sugar production. Ugly labor, tough, tough life, though. But, it´s worth it to make Peeps for Easter.
That's a lot of work to get the main ingredient for Swiss Cake Rolls. . .
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see the updates. I like the tough guy pose.
Cool picture! I now appreciate my sugar even more. I think I'll have a slice of birthday cake to celebrate!
