Grinding to begin Thursday

Watch for slow-moving cane trailers, because another grinding season is about to begin.
Mike Comb, the general manager of the LaSuCo sugar mill at St. John said that the cane harvest, delayed by the wet conditions, will be starting tomorrow (Thursday). Tractors and 18-wheelers will be on the roads through Christmas, so motorists are urged to be patient and exercise caution.
Comb said that the current harvest is not expected to be adversely affected by the August flooding, but it remains to be seen, he added, how the newly-planted crop will fare in flooded areas.
