Cutting the Sugar Cane at Delap's Estate Antigua |
| Description |
Cutting the Sugar Cane
With enough rainfall, the cane ripens in 13 to 16 months. By harvest time, the sugar cane stalks stand over 8 feet tall. It is during the dry season that the sugar content is at its peak. Using a tool called a 'cane bill', the cane stalk is cut, stripped, bundled and delivered to the mill in carts.
