Burning for Harvest

Members are reminded of the terms of our current CSA regarding the amount of cane that can be burned for Harvesting Requirements.

Until 30 September that amount was 2 days harvesting, from 1^st October the amount is reduced to 1 ½ days harvesting.

The CSA also requires that the burning must be in accordance with daily bin quota advised the mill.
