🌾Prayer for the Blessing of the Crop🌾

Heavenly Father,
We gather before You with grateful hearts for the gift of this land,
for the cane that rises tall in our fields,
and for the hands and hearts that labor to bring it forth.

As we begin this grinding season, we ask Your blessing:
Bless the soil that has given us its strength,
Bless the cane that carries the sweetness of Your creation,
Bless the workers who rise early and labor long,
and bless the families who support them with love and sacrifice.

Lord, keep us safe from storms and accidents,
grant us fair weather and steady hands,
and guide our work so that it may be fruitful,
not only for our harvest, but for the good of our community.

May this crop remind us of Your abundance,
and may we always use Your gifts with gratitude and care.

Through Christ our Lord we pray,
Amen.

🚜🌾 Harvest Season Road Safety Reminder 🌾🚜

As we inch closer to our 2025 Sugarcane Harvest, we want to remind the public that for the next 3 months you will be sharing the roads with harvesting equipment, cane tractors, and 18-wheelers hauling cane. These are slow-moving farm vehicles that may make sudden stops.

At times, mud and debris may be tracked onto the roadway, creating slippery conditions. Farmers work hard to keep the roads clear, but it’s not always possible to prevent.

👉 Please use extra caution when driving during this season:
✅ Slow down and be patient
✅ Increase your following distance
✅ Plan ahead for longer commutes
✅ Never pass farm equipment unless it is 100% safe
✅ Be extra alert during early mornings & evenings when it’s darker

⚠️ The grinding season runs 24/7 for 100 days straight, so you can expect farm equipment on the road at any time.

💚 Our cane families care. We want everyone to arrive home safely. Thank you for your patience and for sharing the road this harvest season.
