Dear
Members,
The
CANEGROWERS Herbert River board met with the mill to discuss the
start date for the season.
In
light of the recent rainfall, it was agreed to look at a day by
day proposition from the 14th of June until the mill
is able to get a minimum of 6,000 tonnes to start one side.
The
mill advised they will be contacting contractors and especially
growers who will be cutting first and second to gain confirmation
that their contractor can start and continue to cut.

recently taken up roles in portfolios relevant to the sugarcane
industry following the May election. Contact with the
ministerial offices over the next days and weeks will set us up
with opportunities to ensure the Ministers gain a timely and
