I was wondering if we would ever see those around here. I figured the old whole stalk harvesters and planters would have to retire one day. Pretty cool!
I'm surprised those planters have row openers but don't have row closers too. Is that maybe what the little tractor in the background was doing around 11:00?
Excellent video. Never seen this before, I always thought cane had to be planted in 'the whole stalk' and that was why you had the whole stalk cutters, crane loaders and the specialised trailers to plant it, plus the manual labour to make sure it was 'laid' properly. Then in one sweep along comes this firm with a planter which I shouldn't think isn't over expensive and lowers the cost by a hell of a lot.
Most of the planting in Louisiana is still whole stalk..There's starting to be some billet planting around though. I think a lot of the farmers are waiting to see how it works out before making the switch.
@@AerialAg Is this totally new this year.? If so, I would have thought the firm making these planters would have done some "experimental" planting and growing to see the results before putting a 'revolutionary method' like this on the market.
Just about all other areas(outside of Louisiana) been planting this way for years. One of the reason was that the billets would get diseases or rot. The advances in chemicals are changing that. Also some farmers thinks it uses to much cane.
@Doc Savage I always thought they 'hired' local gentlemen and ones from 'South of the Border'. That is before they tried to build a fence across their Southern border and the Police and other "Home loving Citizens" went on a 'Turkey Shoot' periodically in "The Land of the Free".
I know nothing about sugar cane farming. Please explain this to me, because it doesn't make sense to me. Why are they harvesting the sugar cane, and then turning right around and replanting it? How do you make any money this way? Great video, BTW.
Are they planting the 8' rows? There's a farm in Vacherie planting the 8' double rows but don't have a planter like that. Opps that's 6' single row. Should have watched the whole video before replying. Thanks as always.

THANKS YOU FOR THE VIDEO..SALUDOS FROM NEW YORK.

Yea that's why I always try to get some whole stalk footage every year. Planting is still mostly done whole stalk around here.
@@AerialAg Who knows? Your videos might be shown in a museum one day.
@@chasecavalier6316 Lol, that would be something !
Ai sim.plantio. bem. Feito. Máquinário.bim. 👍👍
Very interesting video my friend! Thanks!
Very cool never thought I would see a 9r planting cane. Great work on the video!
Me either! Thanks!
If you ever find yourself in south Florida during planting season. You should see how those guys plant.
Wow never saw this new technology. Thanks for the great video footage. That’s some serious planting!

l wilton Yes I believe he was closing
Awesome video, any idea of what they are treating the billets with?

@Doc Savage Can't you control the amount the 'planter' puts in the row, like all other planting machines do - surely you must be able to.

We billet plant in Australia and have done for many years why do you guys plant whole stalks ?

How many tons per acre?
Tank you.
And I interest is product(Fresh cane) per acre.
Very interesting, love the drone work. What do you fly?
Thanks man, I have a DJI Mavic 2 Zoom
Why are they not running duals on the 9r?
Duals wouldn't fit between the cane rows.
Unless you spaced them out far enough so that the duals ran in between the rows of sugar cane
What farm is this?
EG Robichaux
