Good morning all,

Widespread thunderstorms across the district overnight saw falls of between 5-75mm.

Inkerman

• 3-50mm
• One group cut last night, one cutting this morning, more interested in going later. Inkerman is in a clean today so should be in a position to crush any cane cut at Inkerman today

Invicta

• 20-75mm
• No groups cutting at the moment but there are others interested for later on. Invicta is in a B side clean so zero hour on A side is late this afternoon, so Invicta should be in a position to crush any cane cut at Invicta today

Kalamia

• 5-60mm
• No cutting at the moment. One group cut 8 bins this morning then stopped, one group cut 56 last night. This will be crushed before mill runs out today. Groups wanting to start later today have committed about 6000 tonnes. Restart plans will be reviewed later in the day

Pioneer

• 5-45mm
• Two harvesters cutting at the moment. 72 cut last night Others showing interest for later on. Restart plans will be reviewed later in the day

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
