Weird thing about that is it appears that you have a "bottom" to the soil. So long as you can grind down through the mud you hit solid bottom underneath.
If you started grinding down here like that, you'd be 4 feet down or further before bottoming out. There are places around all the edges of the sloughs and drainages that you never bottom out. It's fun with a big QuadTrac to see just how deep you can dig!
I filmed that video from my home property. It is a little more stable there and it seems like they cut cane in that field when it rains every year.There are places around here with what appears to be no bottom. Last year was an extremely wet grinding (grinding is a generic term used here for the sugar cane harvest). A lot of farmers left cane standing in the field, it was just to wet and muddy to cut it and haul it out. That is the first time remember that happening.
This is an older cutter. They would cut the cane and then go back and load it in wagons. Even older cutters were single row. They are far more efficient now.
