Comments:
Plane Creek Mill processed 58,394 tonnes of cane for the week, passing the million-tonne milestone on Sunday morning, 10 November.
Average CCS increased by 0.22 of a unit over the previous week, closing out at 14.83 units.
The year-to-date average is now sitting at 14.13 units.
Standover cane again made up approximately three per cent of the week’s cane supply.
The highest CCS honour for the week was a rake of Q183 first ratoon from the Yukan productivity area with a CCS of 17.30 units.
Please remember to use your train brain and always give way to cane trains.
