SC - sugar

[Alderton, Philippa]

It's available, just have to look around. Sugar cane has a few wonderful
qualities- it's easy to grow, in the right climate. it's sweet, and it
doesn't have a bunch of angry, stinging insects hanging around to protest
your right to harvest.

Never a horse that cain't be rode,
And never a rider that cain't be throwed.
