Comments:
The Burdekin mills processed just over 368,000 tonnes of cane for the week. Pioneer had its best weekly throughput for the season, exceeding 80,000 tonnes. Invicta also exceeded the budgeted throughput while Kalamia and Inkerman just met the weekly budget due to a number of unplanned stops.
The season-to-date total is now 5.79M tonnes, which represents 70% of the Burdekin region’s crop forecast of 8.20M tonnes.
The average weekly CCS was 14.33, which is still below budget due to the crop recovering from the wet weather event but CCS is improving as conditions dry up.
The highest CCS, of 17.3, was from a rake of Q240 4R in the Leichardt (Inkerman) productivity district.
Remember to always use your train brain and give way to trains at road crossings.
