I live in the heart of Cane Country, South Florida. You could have cane trucks moving from the fields, over roads and highways, to the mills and some heavy equipment in the fields. The small towns located in or near cane country tend to be somewhat rundown, ramshackle little bergs that always seem to be on the verge of going under, if you know what I mean. There's generally a small section of town, very small section, that's seemed to prosper, but it's surrounded by abject poverty. A real good example would be Belleglade Fla. Right in the sugar heart land, this is a town thats been there since the 20's, is completely surrounded by cane, but 90% of the population, live below the poverty line and require welfare assistance. Pahokee Fla, same way. Also in this area is Lake Okeechobee, a beautiful lake of some 30 miles across, which sports some of the best fishing in the South East. This is also the Vegetable Capital of SE. Lots of vege's grown here. There is also Citrus, Beef, and all sorts of other AG oriented industries here. Don't for get the packing houses that go with these other industries. There is always the ever present small airport, some with grass runways and some with concrete runways, where AG Aircraft (crop dusters) fly in and out of, spraying fields. Also, at least here in Fla. there is a massive network of canals, some for flood control and some for irrigation, running all over the place, thousands of miles of them. Hope this helps some, let us know how it works out.
