February begins the month when the Sugarcane is chopped down and sold on the market. Okinawa's two main produce are Sugarcane and Sweetpotato. Most of the work is still done by hand. Usually done by the older folk here on island. The trade is beginning to suffer because the younger generation has lost interest and gone into other kinds of work. It still amazes me to see the hard work that is involved in harvesting this black gold.
