In Louisiana south of I 10 and I 12 where I live sugar cane is king. Since cane is harvested from Sept to the end of the year and planted in August fields are left fallow from January to August once every 4 years. They get 3 cuttings off 1 planting.
Up around I 20 its cotton; corn and beans.
But in the transition area just north of I 10 where sugar cane will grow these guys have been growing sugar cane and beans. Never really thinking about the timing I just figured they were using the fallow field to grow fertilizer with beans.
I was up there this past week and got to thinking about it. There is no way these beans will be ready to be harvested in the next 6 weeks so this will interfere with cane planting and some fields are not as far along as this field. Maybe you guys that grow beans can tell how far along they are.
So now my thinking is they must have more acres than they have sugar allocation so they grow beans on the extra acres. But that doesn't explain why they only grow beans and no corn. Or will the fertilizer put into the soil by the beans last till next fall when the sugar cane is planted???
If you look close you can tell this is sugar cane fields. The beans are planted 3 rows together and then a space for the tractor wheel. It accommodates the tillage equipment they have for cane since 1 row of sugar cane is the same width as 3 rows of beans. You can really see in fields that are not as well grown over as this one. Or maybe the 3 rows than a space for the wheel has another reason.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
