Whilst the whole of the country is in the grip of ‘footy final fever’ my team didn’t make it in either code; sooooooo care factor - nil at this stage of who wins. Although it is exciting whoever is playing, as long as it is a close game. You know it might be one of the biggest days in sport for the majority of Aussies. Life still goes on, especially for the cane farmers who are in the middle of the season at the moment. The cutters remind me of the big beast in Disney’s Car movie that chases Mator and Lighting out of the paddock from tractor tipping. I really wouldn’t want to get tangled up in a cutter because you would be toast. There are spiral cutters at the front disperse the stems, and circular blades at the top that cut off all the green tips. Only the stalks get processed and spat into the bin, the tractor drives besides. Dust, bugs, and mayhem follow the cutter, but when you are sitting in an A/C cabin, it’s not too bad and adds to the spectacle. So whether your team wins or loses, there is always next year, and life will still go on!
