The New Year will ring in a historic milestone for Queensland’s sugarcane industry, with CANEGROWERS marking 100 years of fighting for cane-farming families.
A breakdown at the Rocky Point mill late last week disrupted the final stages of the Queensland sugarcane crush, leaving around 2,000 tonnes of harvested cane sitting in bins and a further 1,000 tonnes of burnt cane standing in paddocks.
Queensland's sugarcane farming families will spend this Christmas counting the cost of yet another delayed harvest, with updated industry analysis finding that poor milling performance throughout the year which caused crushing to continue into the wet season could cost growers over one-hundred million dollars in 2024.
