Walking the Queensland cane fields
Budget: $250 – $750 AUD
Daily Monday to Friday Diary entries from 1970 to 2022. Entries include the farm name and location and the job details. Details include what each job required to be completed - soil samples collected, levels taken to smooth paddock surface, planting new sugar cane varieties, cane harvester efficiency testing, cane paddock inspections for disease control, sampling sugar cane for pathology screening, treatment of sugar cane for disease control, soil sampling for disease control and who was at each site. Entries are just that with no personal interaction with growers or other field staff recorded. In some ways it is a record of field activities in the Northern and Central sugar cane fields for 50+ years.
