The last harvest by Kaua’i sugar producer Gay and Robinson marks end of an era in Hawaii, reports the Honolulu Advertiser. Gay and Robinson is shifting focus to leasing and energy.

Barring rain delay on the island of Kaua’i, the last field of Gay & Robinson sugar cane will be harvested and fed into its mill.

The last cane-haul truck will take a circuitous route through Hanapepe and Waimea, trailed by Gay & Robinson employees in trucks decorated with signs thanking the people and businesses of west Kaua’i for their support through 120 years in the sugar business.
