Comments:
Plane Creek Mill processed just over 54,000 tonnes of cane for the week, bringing the season total to just under 785,000 tonnes.
Average CCS dropped by 0.11 of a unit over the previous week, closing out at 14.84 units. The year-to-date average is now sitting at 13.91 units.
Standover cane made up approximately two per cent of the week’s cane supply.
The highest CCS honour for the week was a rake of Q183 plant cane from the West Hill productivity area with a CCS of 17.20 units.
Please remember to use your train brain and always give way to cane trains.
