    also to get the snakes out before cutting the cane. At least that is what I was told in Guyana.
    Farmers burn sugarcane to reduce the amount of leafy
    extraneous material, including stalk tops, delivered
    with the cane to the factories for processing.

    In Florida, cane is mainly cut by hand. Leaves and trash are burned from the cane in the rows by use of flame thrower type machines. An alternate method is to burn the leaves from the standing cane, after which it is cut and taken directly to the mill.
