Lowering Production Costs Through Land Grading and Fallow Weed Control Alternatives

摘要

Adverse weather during sugarcane harvest not only results in increased harvesting costs but can likely impact land preparations for successive years' crops. Springtime activities such as precision grading and field activities for disking and plowing can vary in cost depending upon the specific operation being performed. This article examines the cost structure of precision grading, fallow field activities, and fallow weed control options available to growers.
