Description
In the last photo, William H. Love, 78, points to the top of his 12-foot sugar cane and says the water will go higher - "up, up and up." He said he will make more than 1000 gallons of syrup this year which he can sell for $2.25 a gallon. Love, of Hickory Ridge, was born in a house adjoining the one in which he now lives. These people are among hundreds who are hopping mad because they will be uprooted from land that has been their home for as long as they can remember and because, some of them say, they are not getting a fair price for the land.
