Comments:
Plane Creek Mill processed just under 57,500 tonnes of cane for the week, bringing the season total to 841,754 tonnes.
Average CCS remained at 14.84 as per the previous week with the year-to-date average now sitting at 13.98 units.
Standover cane made up approximately one per cent of the week’s cane supply.
The highest CCS honour for the week was a rake of SRA 9 plant cane from the Mount Christian productivity area with a CCS of 17.20 units.
Growers and haul-out operators are reminded to take care when approaching cane rail crossings, particularly those that run across farms.
