Title:
Brazil's cane cutters: The muscle moving sugarcane ethanol
Description:
This audio slideshow puts you face to face with the men and women considered to be the muscle that moves Brazil´s ethanol industry -- seasonal migrants who cut cane in the fields. Brazilian farms still overwhelmingly rely on handworkers like them, men and women facing few job options in many poor Brazilian states who travel south for the cane harvest. Some are treated well by employers, making more in this grunt-work profession than they ever could in poor northeastern Brazil. Some are robbed by middlemen hired to help them find jobs. Some bring savings home to their families. Some die from heat exhaustion. Reporting and narration was provided by myself (while with The Daily Advertiser of Lafayette, La.), with photos by Marcelo Min of Agencia Fotogarrafa in São Paulo.

It typically takes about 12 months to reach maturity although the time varies widely around the world from as short as six months to 24 months . Where it differs from many crops is that it re-grows from the roots so the plant lasts many cycles [or 'ratoons', a word derived from the Spanish to sprout] before it is worn out.
