Comments:
Plane Creek Mill processed just under 37,000 tonnes of cane for the week, bringing the season total to just over 880,000 tonnes.
Average CCS rose by 0.03 of a unit over the previous week, closing out at 14.87 units. The year-to-date average is now sitting at 14.01 units.
Standover cane made up approximately three 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 17.0 units.
Please remember to use your train brain and always give way to cane trains. A fully loaded cane train can take up to one kilometre to stop.
