Comments:
Plane Creek Mill processed just over 62,000 tonnes of cane for the week, bringing the season total to more than 548,000 tonnes.
Average CCS fell by 0.03 of a unit over the previous week, closing out at 14.42 units. The year-to-date average is now sitting at 13.53 units.
Standover cane made up seven per cent of the week’s cane supply.
The highest CCS honours were shared between a rake of Q253 first ratoon cane from the Dawlish productivity area and a rake of SRA 9 plant cane from the West Hill productivity area. Both had a CCS of 16.70 units.
This coming week, there will be a 12-hour planned maintenance stop on Thursday, 19 September.
With school holidays under way, parents and guardians are asked to warn their children of the dangers of playing near cane railway lines.
Locomotive drivers have reported three near misses in the past week at level and passive crossings. Please give way to cane trains and a reminder that a fully loaded cane train can take up to one kilometre to stop.
