Tully sampling mill launched 
QSL was a proud sponsor of the official launch of the Tully Variety Management Group’s new CCS sampling mill this week. The event, led by the group’s Chair Greg Shannon and attended by more than 70 local growers, was the highlight of an early-season variety selection information session held at Peter Jackson’s farm at Murrigal. Built locally with help and consultation from Peter, the mill is currently only being used in trial plots but it’s hoped it will soon be available to growers to sample their cane before harvest. For more information, please contact the Tully Variety Management Group.
Advances rate increase this month
The Standard QSL Advances rate for the 2018 Season will increase to 65% from 22 August 2018, with payments based on indicative QSL pool values as of 27 July 2018.

2020-Season pricing for Tully Sugar Growers
After a request from QSL and as per the terms of our On-Supply Agreement, Tully Sugar has amended their interim forward pricing agreement so that Tully Growers can now price with QSL into the 2020 Season. QSL recommends that interested growers contact their bargaining agent to ensure they understand the terms and conditions of the interim pricing agreement, including any fees applied by their Miller. Growers who choose QSL as their Marketer for the 2020 Season can use both the QSL Target Price Pool and QSL Individual Futures Contract Pool for grower-managed pricing during the 2020 Season.
