Comments:
The Burdekin mills processed just under 17,000 tonnes of cane for the week due to the impact of wet weather.
Widespread showers and thunderstorms delivered between 70mm and 100mm across the district from Saturday night, bringing harvesting to a standstill on Sunday.
The Burdekin mills have now processed a total of 2.55M tonnes of cane, representing about 30% of the forecast 8.47M tonne crop.
The average weekly CCS was 13.53, which was below budget due to the wet conditions.
The highest CCS sample of 15.65 was from a rake of Q240-PL in the Marshalls (Inkerman) productivity district.
As always, please remember to take care as you approach cane rail crossings.
