Sugar cane is the main crop here. It can be harvested even when it rains, but it is hard on equipment, fields, and headlands. They did need some rain for the plant cane.
Weird thing about that is it appears that you have a "bottom" to the soil. So long as you can grind down through the mud you hit solid bottom underneath.
If you started grinding down here like that, you'd be 4 feet down or further before bottoming out. There are places around all the edges of the sloughs and drainages that you never bottom out. It's fun with a big QuadTrac to see just how deep you can dig!
