Planting Sugarcane
Sugarcane is a unique plant and requires special attention. To plant it, you need a dedicated seeder found in the Sugarcane Technology tab.
Prepare the field by plowing it to get a larger crop. Sugarcane does not need to be replanted, except if the periodic plowing option is active. After harvesting, fertilize the field twice to get the full harvest next time.
Harvesting Sugarcane
Use a small and inexpensive harvester like the Lizard SWT 7 connected to a tractor to harvest sugarcane. It does not have its own tank, so attach a trailer to the back or drive a tractor with a trailer next to it.
Auger trailers, available in the Sugarcane Technology tab, are designed for harvesting sugarcane (and grass, straw, etc.). They work like a dump truck, but they are lifted when pouring the contents. Hold the LMB or LB/L1 on the controller and use the analog stick/mouse to control the trailer. The trailers can also be assembled together.
The self-propelled harvester is another option, but it does not have its own tank, and the available trailers are small. Use a yellow trailer TT Colossus 10.000 for the best results.
Use and Size of Harvests
Sugarcane is a challenging crop to work with. Do not invest in large fields as the harvesters and trailers are not designed for it. Sugarcane can be processed into sugar in the factory (500l of sugar cane -> 250 of sugar). The yield of sugar cane is close to 100,000l/hectare.
