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.
A shipment of Queensland raw sugar that departed the Port of Cairns on Saturday bound for Japan marked an important milestone for Australian sugar, industry leaders have said.
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 first, and hopefully last, cyclone of the season has come and gone. While Tropical Cyclone Koji wasn’t a major system by cyclone standards, it’s a good reminder that it doesn’t take a Category 4 or 5 to cause real damage.
