Comments:
Plane Creek Mill processed just over 60,000 tonnes of cane for the week, bringing the season total to just over 377,000 tonnes.
Average CCS rose by 0.87 of a unit over the previous week, closing out at 13.96 units. The year-to-date average is now sitting at 13.16 units.
Standover cane made up six per cent of the week’s cane supply.
The highest CCS honour for the week was a rake of Q253 1R from the Bollingbroke productivity area with a CCS of 16.0 units.
Please remember to use your train brain, obey all signs and signals, and always give way to cane trains.
