Great Aerial video! Thanks for the great shots.I am curious with all the piled cane why is there no stockpiling of the processed Sugar? It has to be there somewhere!
is there any FULTON sugar mill equipment? cane knives-mill housings-rolls-crownwheels-gears, pinions, turnplates? all equipment i have machined over the years.
Can't get used to the machine cut cane, 'cane billet ' always give the idea that a lot of spoilt cane is going into the Mill, also the tractor tyres crush them. The haulage trailers don't carry the tonnage as when pulling cane stalks
Wow awesome video buddy!! Interesting how some of the highway tractors have to unhitch from there trailers for them to dump the load. Are there special “Dogs” that fasten the trailers to the tipping deck? So some cane gets feed into the plant and some gets stock piled it looks like right? Who and what determines witch cane does or don’t? I see a lot of it is outside, in a heavy rain do they have to shut it down? Sorry for all the questions but you know me! LOL!!
First off, weather does not stop grinding down here. Rain, sleet, snow.. does not matter. I think the farms that are close to the mill and haul their cane with tractors leave their wagons parked to feed the mill overnight. They'll drop off a couple wagons with cane and take to empty ones back to the field to get loaded.
Gabriel Beyt I would if they would let me.. last time I asked they said no cause they were afraid I'd hit a power line or something.. which I understand .. I did film it from over the bayou though
man thats allot of wagons waiting, im assuming thats the game tho, bigger farms can afford to have more wagons stacked foe keeping the processor running 24/7
Nope, no one can tell me exactly where it is. I'd like to see it but I'm not going to film it. Deere is being very secretive about it and I don't want to ruffle any feathers. I did see it cutting last year though..
@@gabrielbeyt6267 Well they had it at an agricultural show in Brazil a few months ago, there was some pics floating around. It doesn't go into production until 2021.
@@verniepeart2040 Depends, in the northeast the most part yes (whole and burned cane) but the southeast (biggest sugar cane productor) and mid west of the country is no burned cane (by ecologic rules) and harvested by John Deere or Case machines, the trucks have a lot of capacity (outlaw) and they transport 70 tons (154K pounds) of cane for time with a total Weight of 110tons (240-250K lbs) with 30 meters longer road trains average, but in some cases the Weight and lenght can be very very larger
@@gabrielbeyt6267 They'd probably let you do a little filming on the ground. They didn't want me getting to close with my drone when I asked them last year. They were afraid I'd accidentally hit a power line or something (which would be a catastrophe if the mill shut down) which is completely understandable. I'd go pull in and ask at the office.
@@AerialAg when I was coming home from New orleans I passed by MA Patout sugar mill and I filmed the mill as I was driving In my black Toyota camry and I also Filmed Cajun co op in my Black Toyota Camry but My family had to go slow due to 2 old International harvester Magnums pulling 2 wholestalk sugarcane carts and with my apple Ipad which is the same device I used to Film M.A Patout sugar mill and I Videoed some great footage of Cajun Co op Sugar mill but not so much of M.A Patout because I was on the Highway and I couldn't turn off so I had to film the M.A Patout mill belching black smoke for which IDK, in my car on the highway as I was going home .
An inside tour would be great and explain how it all works.
Great Aerial video! Thanks for the great shots.I am curious with all the piled cane why is there no stockpiling of the processed Sugar? It has to be there somewhere!
Thanks! Yes, there are huge warehouses where store the raw sugar before it is shipped to the sugar refineries.
My father designed and supervised the building of the cane mill. It's considered one of the biggest in the United States
Ask to do a walk-through with a GoPro. That would make a terrific video, following the flow from cane to juice to crystal.
Yea, I'll have to get around to doing that one day.

Aerial Ag I see, thanks! So different then up here where it’s so very weather dependent!
@@AerialAg can you film at the LASUCA Sugar mill this grinding season?
Gabriel Beyt I would if they would let me.. last time I asked they said no cause they were afraid I'd hit a power line or something.. which I understand .. I did film it from over the bayou though
@@AerialAg I wonder why the Sugar Mills don't use their smokestacks anymore?
man thats allot of wagons waiting, im assuming thats the game tho, bigger farms can afford to have more wagons stacked foe keeping the processor running 24/7
Hey did you get some footage of the new prototype Deere 2 row? I heard it was cutting in new Iberia a week or two ago 😳
Nope, no one can tell me exactly where it is. I'd like to see it but I'm not going to film it. Deere is being very secretive about it and I don't want to ruffle any feathers. I did see it cutting last year though..
Aerial Ag when will John Deere make its new 2 row sugarcane harvester public
@@gabrielbeyt6267 Well they had it at an agricultural show in Brazil a few months ago, there was some pics floating around. It doesn't go into production until 2021.
Do they offer a tour for the public?
I don't know.
So do sugarcane plants smell as bad as a sugerbeet factory.
Sometimes they smell bad after the bagasse (left over cane pulp) starts fermenting.. But a lot of the time the mill have a sweet molasses smell.
And the filter-pressed mud......
I good friend mine told me: Smell like money!
In Brazil the trucks and the harvest of sugar cane is very diferent
Explain to us. Is it cane stalks (whole cane)

Isn't this in soreal?
Yes, but their address says Jeanerette so that's what I went with.
Aerial Ag I am in New Orleans Louisiana right now and on my way Me and my Family saw MA Patout sugar mill can you film at MA Patout sugar mill
