Cane Assumptions

This page is for entering cane growing area, yield and CCS for each crop class. Other Crops information for area should also be entered in, if applicable.

Entering Crop Class

Start by clicking the "Add Cane Assumption" button, then select a crop glass from the drop down box.

Entering Area

Enter an area in hectares for each crop class grown on the farm. A simple way to do this is to divide total cane growing area by the average number of ratoons, plant crop and fallow.

For example, if the total cane growing area is 150ha and four ratoons are grown on average, then 150ha divided by 6 equals 25 ha per crop class and fallow area (e.g. 6 is calculated by summing 4 ratoon crops + plant crop + fallow).

Entering Yield and CCS

Enter long term average yield and CCS values for each cane crop class.

Please note that deleting a crop entry will delete all of the growing costs associated with it.
