| Description |
A Mill Yard
The bundled sugar cane is brought from the field to the mill. To extract the most juice, the sugar cane stalks are fed through the 1st and king (center) rollers and then back through the king and 2nd roller. From the mill, the clear, sweet, watery sugar cane juice flows down a trough to the boiling house.
The crushed sugar cane, called 'baggase', is thrown out a side opening in the mill and eventually used for animal fodder and fuel.
