Comments:
Plane Creek Mill processed just over 62,000 tonnes of cane for the week, bringing the season total to just over 940,000 tonnes.
Average CCS dropped by 0.14 of a unit over the previous week, closing out at 14.73 units. The year-to-date average is now sitting at 14.06 units.
Standover cane made up approximately four per cent of the week’s cane supply.
The highest CCS honour for the week was a rake of Q183 plant cane from the Dawlish productivity area with a CCS of 17.40 units.
Road users are urged to use their train brain as they travel in and around our sugar milling districts.
Approach all cane rail crossings with caution and always give way to cane trains.
