A ganna field is a green wall, taller than a man, rustling through autumn; the harvest season fills the air with the smell of crushed cane and jaggery. ## Origin and etymology The word’s deeper origin is not firmly established in the sources; it is the everyday Punjabi name for sugarcane. ## Cultural context Sugarcane belongs to winter: the cutting, the kolhu (cane crusher) squeezing out the juice, the great iron karahi boiling it down into gur (jaggery). Making gur was once a whole village industry of the cold months, neighbours gathering around the crusher, drinking fresh juice, chewing the cut cane. Punjab’s sugar mills bought the cane by the trolley-load. The crop needs heavy water and a full year in the ground, so it was always the big farmer’s crop, and the sweetest-smelling season of the rural year. ## What does ganna mean in Punjabi? ਗੰਨਾ (ganna) is sugarcane, the tall, jointed grass whose sweet juice is crushed out in winter.
