Sugarcane Farming

Working from before sun-up to well after sun-down, jobs in the sugarcane farming industry can be quite physically demanding. As a Farm Hand, Cane Harvester Operator, Agronomist, or Farm Manager, you can help with planting, fertilising, spraying, cultivating, and harvesting sugarcane. Sugarcane is mostly grown in Queensland; the industry is worth around $2 billion to the Australian economy, and employs around 8,000 people. The industry is subject to strict environmental regulations, which is why growers must also manage the impact of pests and diseases through spraying their crops. Most sugarcane farms in Australia are family-owned and operated. They range in size from small, family-run businesses to large-scale operations.
