Crushing Start Update – 2017

“Wilmar have commenced steam trials and remain on target to have all mills available to start crushing on Tuesday 13 June.

On Tuesday this week Wilmar completed a survey of all harvest groups’ anticipated start dates. Based on the feedback it seems that mills will be progressively brought online as sufficient cane supply becomes available.

Kalamia is likely to be the first to start on or about June 14.

Invicta and Pioneer will commence crushing as north bank cane supply increases.

Inkerman is likely to be last to start early in the week commencing June 18.

Wilmar will again contact harvest groups on Monday 5 June after which a further update will be provided.

Please ensure you continue to discuss farm field conditions with your contractors.”

DROUGHT AND CLIMATE ADAPTATION PROGRAM

Dear Members,

Help create a Queensland and Northern Australia benchmark

If you are a producer or advisor (in Qld, NT or WA) and interested in an opportunity to create a benchmark of the current approaches to decision making and planning for climate variability (season to season; year to year) – the Queensland and Northern Australia Drought and Climate Adaptation Program (DCAP) is looking for you. DCAP is a Queensland Government initiative to improve producer drought preparedness and resilience.

By participating in a short web survey, you can help provide benchmarking information that will guide the program as it looks to improve the awareness and effectiveness of information and tools supporting the profitability and productivity of producers in a variable climate. To find out more about DCAP contact Neil Cliffe ([email protected]) or phone 13 25 23.

DCAP is offering a copy of the book Will it rain (developed through the program and due for publication June 2017) to every person completing the survey. You just need to leave a postal address in the box provided before clicking submit. To fill out the survey click here
