Will B Good 13371 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 On top of the sugarcane burning we have a dam being built near us. Many of the trees on the landed to be flooded have been felled (no idea why).......the locals are setting fire to that land to make it easier to find branches hidden by the tall grass.....the branches they will then take home and burn for cooking and heating.....!!!
