Actually the turn over for that day was 13 trucks and the quota was 7.6 tonne. Depends on how much they want for that day. Some want 300kg only while some want 700kg and 1.2 tonne. Depends on their customers' order to deliver.

^^ RBH ... thanks for that answer ... I've ran out of likes for the moment.

At MissFarmGirl's place, we deal with only one buyer who takes the entire catch.

Explains a lot ... thumbsup.gif

^^ That is a truely wonderful photo DASL.

The bananas from both bottom right and left hand corners guide the eye towards the sun.

The contrast in folage between the bananas and the trees.

The '3D' effect by having 4 different layers and an excellent exposure.

(Foreground foliage, bananas, trees and finally the sun)

Somehow you have achieved some backfill lighting on the bananas despite having the light source

(the sun) behind it.

For me ... much to admire in that image ... thumbsup.gif

after the eucalyptus were harvested/sold, waited about three weeks then burn-off the leaves/branches left behind

I hired wife's nephew (15) and a group of his high school friends to help, cleared good fire-breaks as (not shown in this pic) the adjoining field had ready-to-harvest sugar owned by b-in-law that would so easily have gone up in flames.

Had never done anything like this before and took advice from b-in-law, waited for a day with the 'right breeze' and slowly burnt it off in strips, boys had rakes and did a great job. Dried eucalyptus burns so fast, and we had a few 'moments' but the boys were on to it.

Afterwards we found one baked snake, and the one missing rake (charred)

after the burn-off, the stumps re-sprout with secondary growth and will be harvested again in 5 years. Rows were ploughed/plowed and fertiliser applied.

You can see how close we were to the sugar in this pic

In Queensland they burn the sugar off before harvesting ?

Not in the South-East any more ... all Green harvesting there now (my ex's man is a Cane Farmer).

Up north ... in some places it still could be burnt.

But my info is 5 or 6 years old.

OH ... you still get the ash on your property still now in the SE ... they use the thrash to burn in a Co-Generation Electricity plant.

I've been told that the reason farmers are turning away from burning before harvesting is that it has been found that burning lessens the quality of the final product.I imagine that the processers dropped the price paid for burnt cane delivered to the plant and the farmers had to take that into consideration.
