Comments:
The Burdekin mills processed just under 1,500 tonnes of cane for the week. This represents cane that was cut on Saturday in preparation for a Sunday restart at Inkerman and Invicta mills following extended downtime due to wet field conditions.
The season total of 2.56M tonnes represents 30% of the Burdekin region’s forecast crop of 8.47M tonnes.
The average weekly CCS was 14.14 units, which was below budget due to the wet conditions.
As always, please remember to take care as you approach cane rail crossings.
In the coming week as mills come back online, train movements will ramp back up to 24/7 operations.
