Bales of sugar cane hay IMG 4434A -  The leaves of sugar cane were once regarded as rubbish and burnt after the stalks had been harvested, but times have changed, and what was once seen as worthless plant material has now become a valuable commodity. The baled leaves, particularly in time of drought, are used as fodder for cattle, and  are also sold for use as garden mulch.
