Last week we had some guys from Mauritius, and Tanzania come and have a look at what we are doing farming wise. They had come with Dr Alan Garside who was the leader of the Sugar Yield Decline Joint Venture, that is responsible for a lot of the research, and development that we have implemented. It is still perplexing to me that people from around the world think so highly of the work that was done here, and yet the Australian Sugar Industry seems so unsatisfied with it's research and development programs.It was clear to me just how advanced our R/D systems have moved , these guys were most impressed with our approach to whole farm planning, not just concentrating on one aspect of growing cane.
