Year: 2022

Hi all,

Storms across the region yesterday afternoon and overnight delivered falls of between 5-40mm. Harvesting has been significantly impacted.

Kalamia:

• 10-15mm of rain overnight
• 400 bins left unfilled yesterday.
• Out of cane 2:30am, expected restart 10am
• 3 groups not cutting today due to missed burns
• Slow progress due to wet conditions

Inkerman:

• 10-40mm of rain overnight
• Zero hour will be later this morning, currently stopped due to impact of very dirty rake of bins
• 9 harvesters cutting today expecting about 5000 tonnes
• Restart will depend on progress of harvesting

Pioneer

• Some showers overnight, probably faired better than other areas
• Zero hour will be about 8:30am
• Harvesting has been affected through inability to burn for some groups. Some cutting green
• Expected loading about 10,000 tonnes
• Mill will do a caustic clean today while waiting for enough cane supply and restart later this afternoon

Invicta

• Anywhere between 5-40mm of rain overnight mainly in the Clare/Millaroo area
• Zero hour will be about midday
• Loading about 20,400 tonnes
• Slow progress due to wet conditions

Cane quality is still a major concern. Hopefully the last of the storms for a bit
