Sugarcane Growing in a Field of Garbage

 I enjoy observing the lifecycle of sugarcane. Here is the end of that cycle:

Each field is burned after the harvest. But before being burned the field is sifted for leftovers which are used as seeds. These are loaded onto a tractor and then taken away for sorting.

Piles of these seeds are then placed around the field for easy planting. 

These aren't technically seeds but setts. The sugarcane is planted vegetatively which means rather than sowing seeds parts of the stalk are planted. These take root and grow into healthy sugarcane plants. After the field is throughly tilled and manured the setts are then sown and planted.

Can you see what the problem is in this picture? There is garbage in the field. These setts are being sown amongst garbage!

That is plain disgusting. To their credit when the guy who buried these setts came by he did toss the garbage aside. However it was still in the field.

But what are these men supposed to do? It's not their job to pick up garbage and if they did where they put it? I have seen plenty of sugarcane fields strewn with garbage. These are mostly near roads where people simply toss their garbage and the wind and stray dogs spread it everywhere. You have to wonder how healthy the soil is when there is garbage everywhere. Perhaps those who own these fields could employ men to clean up all the garbage. Who wants to buy sugar knowing the plant was was growing in poisoned soil?
