Adjusting yourdefoliatorduring harvest is challenging. Amity Technology brings you the solution with Adjusting your defoliator during harvest is challenging. Amity Technology brings you the solution with Active Height Control for your defoliator. Sensors measure the beet height and adjust your defoliator to your pre-set “adjustable from the cab” parameter. The result is automatic, on-the-go matching of flail height to changing field and crop dynamics for uncompromised defoliation.

In the United States, nearly half of all domestically produced sugar comes from sugarbeets and the other half comes from sugarcane. In December 2021, I had the exciting opportunity to travel to Louisiana as a guest of the Sugar Association to experience the sugarcane side of the American sugar industry for the first time.
