Comments:
Plane Creek Mill processed just over 56,000 tonnes of cane for the week, bringing the season total to just over 600,000 tonnes.
Average CCS rose by 0.2 of a unit over the previous week, closing out at 14.62 units. The year-to-date average is now sitting at 13.63 units.
Standover cane made up 6.5 per cent of the week’s cane supply.
The highest CCS honour for the week was a rake of Q183 plant cane from the Koumala productivity area with a CCS of 17.50 units.
With school holidays still under way, parents and guardians are once again reminded to warn their children of the dangers of playing near cane railway lines.
Families and visitors who are doing road trips over the school holidays are reminded to use their train brain and always give way to cane trains.
