September 18 begins National Farm and Safety Health Week. This is particularly important where I live because fall is harvest season for sugar cane, and there are fields all around us. Trucks loaded with cane will be on roads, and that requires greater caution driving. New Iberia is hosting its 76th annual Sugar Cane Festival to honor and celebrate the contribution sugar cane farmers make to the economy and the community. This year’s festival is Sept. 20-24. As always, there will be music and dancing, food and carnival rides, art displays and educational talks and exhibits. Take time this week to learn more about farms and farming in your area and thank a farmer!
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9
