Home Hill Show Grounds Cane fire and harvest - 13th & 14th August 2020

I just heard the cutting is 2023. I'll be back as a cutter. I done 15 yrs travelling 2500klms round trip to cut cane for the championships. Loved every minute. Cheers Patrick putman

I have lived here for five generations but not once have I seen the fire from above. Absolutely magnificent. Thank you so much for the opportunity.

[@burdekindrones]

No worries! I have lived here all my life but have never seen the haul outs loading/unloading the bins!

Other australian crazy solution on sugarcane transport. 😂

E precisava queimar?

[@drewcarr1]

Whats the reason for burning the canes?

[@markmacdonald2915]

Farmers burn sugarcane crops before harvest to remove the leaves and tops of the sugarcane plant leaving only the sugar-bearing stalk to be harvested.

[@hobsonbeeman7529]

Not exactly sure of what they are doing here. But appears to be a test plot they are burning to see how it may improve harvest. They typically harvest this way here in S Fla, burning makes a cleaner sugarcane cutting, less trash in the wagon. I’ve never seen them harvest without burning here🤔

All birds🐤 in the plot = BBQ 😓

A musical fire

Just my opinion, however if you did, (or had), to use a 'drone' all the time, some 'lower level' shots would have made for a far better film, especially since you had a 'zoom' lens. The fire I could understand as you get the 'updraft heat'. The 'old' cutter would have been nice to see - for example, as I live in a Country that doesn't grow cane and I'm sure it's a most interesting piece of machinery.
