plantador de caña, plantador de caña de azúcar, cañero (historical context)
This is a very interesting subject. The term you are looking for seems to be a term used in sociology. In the links you sent, the term sugar grower is alluding to the farmers that grew/cultivated/planted sugar cane in Southern US during the civil war. Strictly, cultivador nowadays is used mainly for agriculture machinery (http://www.fao.org/faoterm/es/) and productor for the person growing or planting the crop. I looked up the term from a sociological point of view and it seems "plantador" would be generally accepted for the historic context . Extrapolating the use of the term in South America, "cañeros" is a term used to refer to the "powerful" sugar cane growers. I didn't find references to plantador de azúcar, only to plantador de caña or de caña de azúcar.

Example sentence:
"la sociedad cañera está dividida en"..."plantadores (llamados gringos o cañeros, unos 140, una docena de ellos muy poderosos), plantadores fundidos o sin tierra propia"...

cultivador de azúcar
productor de azúcar - I suppose this alludes to someone who grows AND/OR processes the sugar

: Neil, no es el azúcar lo que se cultiva, sino la caña, de la cual se extrae el azúcar.
