2021 Louisiana Cane Planting 4K

[@betbet7241]

Love watching what your doing👍amazing process. My dream farming sugarcane….. good job sir👏

[@christopherlovelock9104]

Glad to see something from you. That is one hell of a good video showing the process it has to go through. ... Did you - or the cane suffer much from 'Ida',? - IF you caught it their's going to be a lot of flat cane on some farms. Watching the TV over here in the UK it showed (as usual) everything except the poor old 'farmers lot'.

[@AerialAg]

Thanks, yes Ida was a direct hit on our area. The cane took a pretty good beating. I was very blessed that my house made it through the storm with no damage. I had lots of tree damage but I can definitely deal with that. It angers me that the media has basically forgotten about Ida already though. As long as New Orleans is not destroyed its not a big news story. Plenty people around here lost everything, and plenty are still suffering with no power and gasoline and food can be hard to come by in some areas.

[@christopherlovelock9104]

@@AerialAg Hi, again. I'm glad you suffered only some 'tree damage', - people can't always be so lucky. Yes, I know what you mean about the 'Press'. When we had a 'mini hurricane' in the late '70's all they were on about, (& photographed), were the 2 Major Towns it hit, with no mention of the 20 or so villages in between with more damage to them than those 2 towns all added up together. Plenty of pictures of 1 house with a few dozen tiles missing, & some big stores with smashed windows & more tiles laying in the road. With no words even of the villages that had houses with complete roofs off & walls all down. Plenty of mention of how the 'lovely old trees' had come down in these 2 towns, - but they totally forgot to mention exactly the same type of tree in the 25 miles in between those 2 towns, & the houses in the 10 extra miles when, luckily, its course blew it out to sea. .. Photography this 'cutting' season is going to be interesting I should think.

@@christopherlovelock9104 It always seems that there's alot more damage and suffering than gets reported through the media. I think most of the cane further West did ok.. I even went drone flying last Saturday just to get away from the no power, and crowds everywhere at stores that were open for the day... mainly because September 11 was my birthday (lucky me lol ) . So I went out to escape for awhile and my Mom prepared an awesome Birthday supper for me when I returned.

@@AerialAg Yes I know exactly what you mean about the media. They just film or write about the events that will generate the most advertising revenue, and get the biggest 'audience' figures, or sell the most copies. - P.S. Happy Birthday......

I always like picking the generic parts they use in making specialty equipment, the picker has a 8820 combine cab and wheels and no doubt the same engine and pumps

My grandfather used to grow sugarcane for making syrup in the fall. We used to replant the cane every year by hand. Do you know if all the cane has to replanted every year or does it just re-sprout from the cut off stems? If has to be replanted each year that is a lot of work.

[@xdavid_mc1851]

Hi, the stems are born again every year I am from Mexico, and here there have been canes for more than 18 years every year it is born very well

[@christopherlovelock9104]

@South Georgia Farming. It has to be replanted each year. This gent has some excellent videos all about it. If you 'subscribe' to him, (and I'm sure you do), have a look through some of his 'earlier' stuff on cane, you will find them very interesting.

[@AerialAg]

Here in Louisiana they let it regrow 3-5 years and then replant it. They replant oldest cane in August and September.

[@terrellfarms1]

@@AerialAg That makes sense. If they had to replant every acre, every year, wow imagine the hours involved in that.

[@AerialAg]

@@terrellfarms1 Oh yes, it's extremely labor intensive just replanting that portion. It would be impossible to replant everything. I subbed to your channel btw, really nice content !

[@BRPFan]

Real nice video my friend! Does cane ever go into seed? Wow those Guys laying the cane stocks down by hand must be a hard day! Why not bigger fields like 125 plus acres at a time? Sorry for all the questions! 😂

[@AerialAg]

Thanks Ben... there's always issues around here with drainage and different land owners that is the reason for smaller fields.. not sure what you mean by "go into seed".. Cane stalks never really change into anything. If this cane that was cut for planting hadn't been, it would have grown into regular cane for harvest

[@BRPFan]

@@AerialAg OK I was wondering if it wasn’t for drainage, I likely asked the question before! 😂 Most plants if you leave them long enough have a seed, just wondering if sugar cane ever gets seed is all. Likely not.

[@LouisianaSugarcane]

Louisiana cane doesn't usually go into flowers but it can. Plant breeding stations at the LSU farm in St. Gabriel and the USDA farm in Houma grow certain varieties in grow houses to force the sugarcane plant to flower and make seeds. The flowering plants pollinate each other to make seeds that are numbered and planted in grow houses through the winter. The seedlings are planted in the spring and monitored, culled and expanded. Check out this video from This Week in Louisiana to learn more. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZPFpXihrbilmMk

@@LouisianaSugarcane Thank-You for that!

इस कटिंग मशिन खरेदी करणे के लिये कितना बजेट चाहिए

[@armandkeller8831]

I would rather walk behind a manual planter than a automatic one, that sucker would drop a bunch and you would have to spread it out to other rows.

[@AerialAg]

Yep I saw the covering tractor stop quite a few time and fix the cane

[@kennyv7108]

My stupid ass though this was gameplay from fs22

[@AerialAg]

Pretty certain we'll never see wholestalk equipment in FS22 unfortunately

@@AerialAg yeah farm sim is really lacking in sugar cane equipment
