Planting, harvesting & processing sugar cane into sugar

If you want to plant sugar cane in the LS 22, you have to pay attention to a few things in contrast to other field crops. In the following you will learn how the cultivation of sugar cane works and which machines you have to use exactly.

Plant and grow sugar cane (LS 22)

Sugar cane takes the longest time to grow, but it also has two immense advantages. On the one hand, it cannot rot and, on the other hand, sugar cane grows again after the harvest.

When sowing sugar cane, you have to use special seed drills. You need so-called Billet planters such as the Gessner Single Row Billet Planter. You fill this machine with purchased pallets of sugar cane from the dealer when you first add it. After your first harvest, you can then use the harvested sugar cane stalks to sow further fields.

You can load the sugar cane pallets or straws into the billet planter with a tipper or a wheel / telescopic loader including a shovel.

Note: Since sugar cane grows on its own, you hardly have to cultivate the soil. Only if you play with the modifier “Periodic plowing” should you loosen the soil with a subsoiler like the KUHN DC 401 after every third harvest in order to get the full yield. Alternatively, you can also use normal plows and plant the sugar cane cuttings after loosening them.

Harvest sugar cane

You also need certain machines for sugar cane harvesting. There are special sugar cane harvesters available from dealers for this purpose. These remove the leaves and cut the cane into more compact pieces.

Like the forage harvesters for chaff, sugar cane harvesters do not have their own tank. So you have to have a tractor with a tipper drive along to catch the sugar cane. Here, too, there are special sugar cane tippers with a high tipping height so that you can load the stalks directly into a truck trailer. Then use AI helpers, for example, to transport the harvest away.

With a proper control panel, the control of the LS 22 is even better!

Store, sell & bring sugar cane to the sugar factory

Sugar cane cannot be stored in silos. You can simply unload it at any point and store it temporarily. Since sugar cane doesn’t rot, you don’t have to worry about this. Alternatively, you can sell it directly on the card at points of sale.

In addition, the cane stalks can be delivered to a sugar factory for further processing. You can place such factories in the construction mode. If you don’t have the euros for it, you can also use the money cheat in LS 22.
