The annual sugar cane crop is harvested green and the stick is sent to the sugar mill. Once the juice is extracted it is boiled and made into raw sugar. The leaves which are the by-product of the harvest are dried, raked and then baled and placed into storage for processing. Sugar cane mulch is environmentally friendly and comes from a re-newable and sustainable resource.
