The
entire sugar cane industry in the valley closed down this year. The
growers couldn’t get enough water commitments, so they couldn’t afford to
plant, which made it unprofitable for the Sugar House processing plant to stay
open, so it shut down. Now that the processing plant is down, there’s no
point in planting cane even if more water does become available. There is
no place to process the product! No more black clouds on the horizon from
cane fields burning prior to harvesting. No more black snow at our house
from drifting ash put out by the burning fields. The end of an era.
