Why I Created This Guide

My son was fascinated by sugarcane harvesters and wanted to know how they worked.

When I realised I couldn't answer his questions, I went looking for the answers. The more I learned, the more fascinated I became. I knew there had to be a simple way to share that journey with young children.

That curiosity became The Sugarcane Harvester Song—and now this free guide helps even more families discover the incredible journey from paddock to plate.
