Cane fields around here?
A little ash falling on the beach in Cabarete this morning, and again after the wind died down about 4pm. Funny, just had a 3" piece of ash float down by my foot as I wrote this. Looks like it's snowing dirty snow.
Could be something else, but sounds too big to be much else than a cane field fire:

Nah, it's short cycle CO2. The cane absorbed CO2 as it grew and it releases it burning or decaying. It's carbon neutral. Drink up.
I'm not on the island so I can't confirm or deny what happened, but it is the zafra(sugar harvest) until about May and I have seen them burning the fields this time of year before.
It might be a good idea to put a premium on sugar harvested in the next few months to create a demand for Haitian cane cutters. They sometimes let cane fields sit unharvested for years until the price makes it worth their while to cut it.

Zafra!
I am sure the Haitian cane cutters are trading Sugar No. 11 futures on The ICE to hedge the demand for the uncut cane. I recently overheard a guy putting on a swap in Mu?oz on his iPhone.

OK, for those who doesn't know the way the Haitians burn a whole sugar field in one minute.
Here we go:
Take a big mouse and pour gasoline all over the animal then ignite the very end of his tail with a lighter and let him go running into the sugar cane plantation.

It is the grasses in the lagoon that are on fire. It happens about twice a year. The ash has stopped falling from the sky but yesterday morning the ash was everywhere.
