Comments:
Plane Creek Mill’s 2024 crushing season commenced at 2.37am on Tuesday 2 July.
Despite the factory experiencing some settling in issues during the early part of the week, daily throughput improved before the end of the week.
Soft ground conditions impacted harvesting operations and led to daily cane supply shortfalls.
Just under 40,000 tonnes of cane were processed for the week, and the average weekly CCS was 12.73.
The highest CCS sample of 15.10 was from a rake of KQ228 old ratoon from the Yukan productivity district.
As the 2024 production season begins, please remember to use your train brain and take care around our cane rail network. Our cane trains are working around the clock, seven days a week.
