Just weeks out from harvest, Australia’s sugarcane industry has around 5 per cent of the fuel required to complete the crush.
One hundred years ago this week, sugarcane growers from across Queensland met in Mackay to take a defining step that would change their industry forever. CANEGROWERS was born.
CANEGROWERS today pays tribute to Mr Ron Boswell AO, a proud Queenslander and a consistent, respected advocate for the sugar industry and regional Australia.
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.
