ABSTRACT:
A sugar cane planting apparatus has a conveyor which is preferably continuous and has spaced horizontal trough elements for taking up sugar cane billets from a supply bin and arranged to discharge the billets one at a time to a planting head with the billets arranged parallel to the direction of motion of the apparatus whereby the billets are planted substantially in end-to-end relation. For controlling the billet supply, the conveyor extends upwardly and is cranked so that any second billet lying on top of a billet in the trough rolls back into the bin and any upstanding billet is deflected by a fixed deflecting plate in the upper crank part. A casing guides the billets on the downward run, each billet falling from the trough (in which it is moved on the upward run) when the trough turns over the top of the conveyor, the billet falling onto the back of the preceding trough.
