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.
Cane grower organisations from across Queensland have united to urge all growers who hold shares in Sugar Terminals Limited (STL) to make their vote count at the upcoming AGM on 20 November.
CANEGROWERS has again secured a critical industry exemption from the Christmas transport curfew, ensuring the delayed sugarcane harvest can keep moving through the holiday period.
CANEGROWERS has welcomed the announcement of Premier David Crisafulli’s new Cabinet, with grower leaders looking forward to strengthening their productive relationship with the LNP government.
CANEGROWERS congratulates the Liberal National Party (LNP) and Premier David Crisafulli on their State Election victory.
With just days to go until Queensland votes, CANEGROWERS is calling on political leaders to commit to meaningful reforms that will reduce crippling power prices and remove unfair stamp duties that stifle farmers' ability to manage risk.
