Sugarcane harvesting at Ayr. North Queensland,.

- Done this for 16 years. Loved it
- I don’t think this bloke knows what’s he on about. It’s mostly cut in the same fashion burnt or green.
Więcej macie na tej stronie aparaty ortodontyczne Lublin - jak dla mnie ok. - oi greg................................................................... great video..........................i cant believe it was cut like that............................
- The best ethanol fuels are made from sugar cane.
And we have plenty of sugarcane in Australia ;-)
- Pity you weren't able to film cane being fired Gregg because it is spectacular. The fire races through the field at alarming speed.
There was a bloke I used to know who did a video called Steam Rails and Sugarcane where he filmed in the 1960's when the cane trains were getting rid of steam locos and going over to bins. He also filmed at Moreton Sugar Mill at Nambour. Another shot was a bulk sugar train being hauled by a BB18 1/4.
- I remember when the cane fields where empty me and my cousin would run through them when we where younger
- My great-grandparents owned sugar cane farms in Ayr. I remember visiting my grandparents when I was young and the ash from the burning cane would be flying everywhere.
- Died from the rat's piss thats a classic
- What are the carting trucks?..Old Nissan diesels by any chance? the cabs look a bit like old Fiats but I know you wouldnt have them piles of crap down under.
- Sweet!!!
- Very interesting. Gregg, as are all of the videos you post on YouTube. I am, however, suffering severe withdrawal pains as a result of not seeing any BNSF Birdwood Sub videos in a while. Anything coming up soon?
- @FishplateFilms  ;) Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! :) 
- Interesting to see, Gregg.  Where I live here in north central Illinois, USA, the big cash crops are corn and soybeans.  Best and Merry Christmas to you and yours! - Paul
- Nice, when I lived up in North Dakota, we had sugar beets, it was more simple to harvest, and the processing plants were big (south of Grand Forks).  The BNSF had lots of business. The branch lines has very small trains (20 to 30 cars at times) looked like a model train.  It was very flat up there, I don't miss the cold weather, but liked to watch the small trains.  Nice video Gregg, it's amazing how small the tractors are compared to American equipment.
- Machinery makes fast work.  It would suck doing it the old ways.

- Hi Gregg!  Another great video mate!  Interesting and informative!  It was very good of the harvester and truck operators to let you 'in on the action' in the cabs.  I've only seen two cane fires, but like you said they are spectacular!  I can only imagine what it would be like to cut cane by hand, HARD YAKKA!  Thanks for sharing!  Keep it touch and don't work too hard mate!

Cheers!
Stew.
- Nice change of pace, Greg.  Thanks!
- They let it dry and only burn when wind blowing away from residents. I have only incurred shoot and ash once in seven years. I have fields within 1/4 mile.
- Other than that truck with driver on wrong side i would have though i was watching harvest in Louisiana USA.
- Watched this being done right by my house today. Same machine. They burn all fields here that are going to allowed to regrow next season. Four year rotation.
