SweetFeet I do not want to be miss-leading about the fallow fields so let me explain it better.
Sugar cane is planted in August. You then get 3 cutting (harvest) off this planting. (more in different areas of the world) The problem is you harvest it in September to December the next year. So the fields are left fallow 1 year out of 4 because of the timing for planting and harvesting. By the time you get the crop off the field in Oct or Nov it is to late to work the land and plant a crop. Some tried spring planting different or new cultivars but that did not work out so good.
Sugar cane is very highly regulated crop. More so than anything you grow up north other than sugar beets. While I read on here about how some farm programs work for corn or bean growers; sugar has an allotment. Without an allotment from the government you can not sell your sugar crop. So you can not just go out and start a new sugar farm or even increase production on a present farm without buying an allotment to cover the sugar you want to sell. Sugar allotments are very prized and have been in the same families for years and years.

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
