The study looked at different types of sugarcane in Barbados to see if it's possible to start harvesting in January instead of February. They found that the sugar content in the cane was similar in January, February, and when the crop was fully grown. This means that starting the harvest in January is feasible. The researchers tested 12 sugarcane varieties and found that they all had similar sugar levels at different times. This suggests that starting the harvest earlier could be a good idea for Barbados.
