Comments
Proserpine Mill processed just under 82,000 tonnes of cane for the week.
This was slightly above budget, despite an extended stop caused by industrial action on Saturday.
Average weekly CCS came in at just over half a unit above budget at 14.10 units.
The highest CCS was 16.66 units from a rake of ratoon KQ228 from the Lethebrook productivity district.
A scheduled maintenance stop is planned for Friday, 9 August.
Our cane trains work around the clock, seven days a week, so please continue to use your train brain and always take care around the cane rail network. A fully loaded cane train can take up to one kilometre to pull up.
