Comments:
The Burdekin mills processed just over 263,000 tonnes of cane for the week. This was below budget due to a wet weather event which impacted harvesting.
The season-to-date total is now 7.12M tonnes, which represents 87 per cent of the Burdekin region’s crop forecast of 8.20M tonnes.
The average weekly CCS was 13.92, which continues to trend below budget forecasts.
The highest CCS of 17.5, was from a rake of Q183 2R in the Mona Park (INV) productivity district.
Remember to stay alert, use your train brain and always give way to trains at road crossings.
