22.01.2022 Proserpine Production Figures - Week 18 (Week ending Saturday 31st October, 2020) Proserpine Mill processed more than 77,000 tonnes of cane for the week, bringing the season to date figure to 1.4 million tonnes, or 90 per cent of the total crop.... There was an extended stop on Thursday to reinstate the site’s second bagasse reclaimer chain. The last day of harvesting for the 2020 season is expected to be Thursday 12 November. This is based on a revised final crop of 1.56 million tonnes, forecast factory throughputs and no further rain disruptions. The dry weather continues to adversely impact the final crop total, which is currently cutting at 97.8% of original estimate. Weekly CCS improved slightly, to average 15.45 units. The highest CCS sample was 18.10 from a rake of fifth ratoon Q240 in the Up River Productivity District. Remember to use your ‘train brain’ around the cane rail network. Approach all level crossings with caution and always give way to cane trains.
