Ryellen Heliwork was established in 1999 by chief pilot Ryan Jones. As a farmer himself, Ryan knows the costs incurred to the bottom line due to vines in cane.
2024 is shaping up to be a good season for the sugar cane industry in the Burdekin. However, ideal growing conditions for vine has seen a severe outbreak across the district and is likely to cause the upcoming harvest a great deal of stress, by inhibiting harvesters moving through the paddocks. The recent cyclone has also allowed the vines to come up through the crop and cover over the top.
Ryellen Heliwork has been spraying in the district for 25 years and is committed to helping farmers control this problem and now is the most critical time to eradicate it.
The pilots at Ryellen Heliwork have a combined experience of 38 years in aerial spraying which gives the farmer confidence that their vine problem will be dealt with in a safe and effective manner.
