50-60tons of cane coming off an acre. Usually 30-40 tons is the high side.
I’m not calling BS as I’m clueless, but is that number right? 100,000 lbs of sugar per acre?
ETA: New mind misread. I see that’s cane now. That’s that work out Tina’s far as sugar goes?

its not 100,000# of sugar/Acre. they are only producing about 220-240# sugar per ton of cane.
you need to figure in the cost of fertilizer (which sky rocketed the last 2 years), cost of pesticides, cost of fuel (sky rocketed), lbor cost, equipment note, land rent, and equipment repair and maintenance into all this.
