CANEGROWERS Proserpine recently marked the beginning of the 2026 season with barbeque, beers and good spirits. The organisation brought together cane growers from across the region on a sunny Wednesday afternoon for good food, great drink and even better company.

This season will mark an important milestone for the group, with CANEGROWERS celebrating their hundredth year.

Co-operatives across Australia will be commemorating the centennial, through initiatives showcasing the industry’s history, and the organisation’s century of dedication to supporting the best possible outcomes for cane growers, through locally-based advocacy, advice, and forward-looking policy change.
