Sugar is king in Belle Glade. They started harvesting the cane around the end of October.

Belle Glade has a sign that says "Her Soil Is Her Fortune".
Her soil is disappearing at a rate of 1 inch per year. When dirt is exposed to air it disappears. One of the management practices is to cover the soil with water, hence the use of rice patties when the land is fallow. Many homes have lost so much dirt that their foundation is exposed and it looks the home was built on tall concrete pilings.
Stay tuned for Part 2.
