Senior and junior in action while cutting the cane. From September till March it's the right time. The cane then loses its leaves. The closer the cane grows to the edge of the water, the taller it becomes. The traditional half round knife is still the best piece of equipment for this job.The ground is very marshy. The day I visited them it was freezing so it was more easy to find a firm spot to put your boots without sinking into the mud.
