Welcome to sugar cane country.

It's worse now than I remembered it was 40 years ago by a lot. It may just be that I am more sensitive to it than I was back then.

It’s different each year depending on the wind. This year the wind was blowing to the east side pushing all the cane fields toward Baton Rouge.

I live across from hundreds of acres of cane and got little to no ashes in my yard. Last year, we were covered for about a week

I was there for a year. The cane smoke and my asthma was why I moved back to Lafayette.

Finally someone that understands why it’s more this year in certain areas.

I'm just talking in general, not specifically this year, and I'm in Lafayette anyway. The bulk of the nearby cane fields are more south of where I am.

If you hate that, then go to Terrebonne Parish, there were six marsh fires around the parish this week. Last night another one started in lower Terrebonne, I believe. Houma fire had 3 structure fires in two days. One of them was a shed fire in which several geese and chickens had to be rescued. One chicken didn’t make it.
One of the commenters on Facebook posted a picture of a roasted chicken, and comments ranged from if the temperature of the chicken was 165 degrees, was it safe to eat to hands praying. Those commenters must post here as well. But that is what sophomoric humor passes for content on Facebook today.

I think it’s trashy that a business model depends almost exclusively on immigrant labor and special treatment from an environmental regulatory perspective. Or that they have to release this much ash every year onto someone else’s property to stay tits up.
If they don’t hire locals anymore and they clearly don’t care about what they are doing to the local air quality….why should our government continue protectionist policies and price floors for them?
A lot easier to look the other way if more locals were employed by this industry. But it’s not. The LA1 sugar cane towns like Donaldsonville, Morganza, etc. are declining, not growing.
