Powerful, moving, and thought-provoking, reflecting a dimension of Guyana on which so many depend, but so many have never seen or experienced. Thanks to the cane field workers of Guyana, and to you, Ace, for this wonderful tribute.

Ramrattan Deonarine NY to my fellow Guyanese brothers and sisters I start to work with the Guyana Sugar Cooperation none as Guysuco in 1968 to 1998 as a general labourer at Enmore Estate which was the largest employer for the Guyanese people at that time with about 20000 employees in those days things were looking good in the sugar industry things started to change from good to bad when the new government took office in 2015 which is APNU/AFC they close 4 Factories that when things started to look bad with sugar let’s me give 3 reasons for that 1produce at high cost and sell at a low price 2 bad management which none as square pegs in round holds and 3 lots of thieves from the big boys at the top and the small boys at the bottom that matters needs to address if this is happens then sugar will be come back to Golry again
Today cane cutters have it much easier than in the fifties and sixties the cane has more trash you have to cut more cane to fill a punt because of bad management the British use to have good fertilizer and abandon the fields after seven crops flooded with water for about four or five months then plant new different varieties I saw sugar cane grow like vines they tangled each other one open would take a cane cutter four hour to cut. I work in the Industry for years and had to leave in the seventies
My Nana (grandfather) was a cane cutter during your time. What year did you start? What were the hours of your working day? I have so many questions...
