Yes, banana farming is very hard work isn't it.  I find it hard enough with just a few bananas but I have seen how they worked in the valley, it looked tough and included finding the odd snake in a bag while carrying it down the hill.  I haven't seen banana hillsides alight it would be very scary - I don't like it when they fire the cane fields but much less danger of it getting away I would think than on a hillside.
