Anyway, sugar is quite the crop in Louisiana and I couldn't pass on the opportunity to reminisce about some of the rabbit hunts from days since past.</p> I’m all for using beets to make fuel since I can’t stomach them as food.

If it turns out to be a solid choice, I wonder if sugar BEETS are not the best source? Do you know? At present, this crop does more harm than good in Hawaii. . .not everywhere, but certainly here. And remember, Bobby, that's merely my absurdly under-educated-on-the-topic opinion.</p> Yeah, it’s ethanol which I’m not too certain about yet, for various reasons.

My understanding (as a Louisiana boy) is that burning the fields revitalizes the soil to guarantee another robust harvest the following season. Green cane doesn't biodegrade quickly enough to serve as compost, so burning is used to speed the process. And although it has been several years since I've hunted, cane field burnings make for the best rabbit hunts.</p> No offense, but the sugar industry may prove to be the best hope for those in the alternative fuel movement (bio-diesel).
