GIVE GROWERS A STRONG VOICE IN STL: CANEGROWERS urges all growers to vote
Sugar Terminals Limited (STL) will be running elections for a grower director, who will be overseeing that STL assets are maintained in A1 condition, looking for other avenues of revenue through the terminals and maximising returns to shareholders.
CANEGROWERS endorsed candidate is Mossman cane grower Drew Watson, as recommended by the CANEGROWERS State board.
As there are a couple of large shareholding blocks within STL, it is important that individual growers return their ballot papers and make their voice heard.
CANEGROWERS is calling on all members to exercise their right to vote when they receive the proxy papers in the mail, and VOTE 1: DONALD (DREW) ANDREW WATSON
