The Australian sugarcane industry’s peak grower and research bodies have joined forces in a bid to prevent a critical weed-control tool disappearing from cane farms before practical alternatives are ready.
CANEGROWERS welcomes today’s announcement by the State and Federal Governments of a joint disaster relief package for primary producers devastated by recent flooding across north Queensland.
