Passing thru New Roads and Morganza on Christmas Day and dealt lines of traffic due to sugarcane trucks in morning and at night. Can anyone tell me why the need to haul sugarcane on Christmas Day? There’s got to be a reason.

It's all illegal immigrants that do that. No need the time off.
Farmers don't like hiring Americans

Harvest as much as possible before freeze damage sets in.

Rain, sleet or snow grindging does not stop. The only thing that halts it is if there's a breakdown at the mill.

Not all people get off for the Holidays.I'm sure they've been hauling sugar cane long before you came along.

It’s called grinding season dipshit. Been happening at The same time for years. 7 days a week from October till when they’re done. Take a different route to wherever it is your going. Or stay home.

They have 2 weeks after a freeze to harvest before the crop goes bad

Just imagine what it used to be like when the roads were filled with carts of whole cane pulled by tractors instead of Semis hauling billets.

You must be a young one.
