Sugar Cane fields along the Hana Highway west toward Kahului and Maui West

Album Info:
Sugar cane begins with a 12 inch long "slip" cut from a stalk of cane that is machine inserted into the earth. The sugar cane then receives irrigation and fertilization, but not much else in the way of human attention beyond that while it is growing, and is ready for harvest in 24 months. A single cane stalk can produce three crops. Then the field is replanted with new slips. An acre of land can yield over 90 tons of cane or 12.5 tons of raw sugar.

Great take and a better lesson. It's nice to learn something new each day. Thanks for that. I would like your permission to dowmload the picture and send it to my son for consideration to be included in his poemary CAÑAVERAL. Of course, you'll receive the credit for the image and a complementary issue of the book. Thanks for the whole treat! Juan perezmo@rogers.com
