It takes years for the stalks to get that big, so it's not like doing a fall harvest of certain crops before winter sets in. Sugarcane is planted in mild climates where it's grown year-round.Wandering Chopstickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703018765718062460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-47803677021267977532014-02-13T14:37:05.321-08:002014-02-13T14:37:05.321-08:00When is the best time of year to cute the sugarcan...When is the best time of year to cute the sugarcane?<br />Summer?
