| The thing is an elevator. The harvesters are continuous loading. You can go a few feet in the row but that is all. Keep in mind, florida is flat planted and we are on raised beds, the mud does not have a bed of limestone below and the ruts get very deep, very quick. The cane is core sampled and a test run to determine sugar, fiber, mud, dextran. Alot like a grain sample, but sugar content per ton is where the $ lies, multiplied by the tones per acre. As far as the burning, it is usually done early afternoon before any inversions and while the ash, smoke, and soot can go up high and disperse.
A cane trash fire is alot worse than burning standing cane. The block being burned is a 35 ac block for 2 days of cutting and was over in about 5 minutes. | |
