"Mined" is likely the wrong word... but stripped is accurate.
It's fairly accurate Rob. I've watched the cane loading process in fields for three different mills on Maui. I've also seen strip mined coal excavated from the surface in Gillette, Wyoming.
The equipment is specific to the material being loaded, but otherwise the process is quite similar.
You could never convince a monkey to give you a banana by promising him limitless bananas after death in monkey heaven.
