Comments:
The Burdekin mills processed just under 265,000 tonnes of cane for the week. Throughputs were down at all mills this week due to either wet weather impacts or unplanned stops. Inkerman experienced a significant stop following an Ergon power outage.
The season-to-date total is now 5.42M tonnes, which represents 66% of the Burdekin region’s crop forecast of 8.20M tonnes.
The average weekly CCS was 14.20, which is well below budget due to the wet event and subsequent burnt cane left in the paddocks.
The highest CCS, of 17.1, was from a rake of Q240 1R in the Leichardt (Inkerman) productivity district.
Remember to always use your train brain and give way to trains at road crossings.
