Comments:
The Burdekin mills processed just over 240,000 tonnes of cane for the week.
This was below budget as the region was recovering from a wet weather event at the beginning of the week and there was another wet weather event at the end of the week.
Some mechanical issues also contributed to the reduced throughput.
The season-to-date total is now 7.36M tonnes, which represents 90 per cent of the Burdekin region’s crop forecast of 8.20M tonnes.
The average weekly CCS was 12.85, which is well below budget due to the wet weather.
The highest CCS of 16.1 was from a rake of Q240 4R in the Darvenizas (INK) productivity district.
Remember to stay alert, use your train brain and always give way to trains at road crossings.
