CANEGROWERS Australia Chairman Owen Menkens has been elected President of the World Association of Beet and Cane Growers (WABCG), marking a proud moment for the Australian sugarcane industry on the final day of the WABCG Conference in Cairns.
CANEGROWERS is calling on the State Government to give primary producers impacted by ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper more time to apply for and conduct works under disaster recovery grants.
It’s that time of the year again, when Queensland’s cane-growing communities come alive with the sounds of harvesters, haulouts, cane trucks and trains.
Our perceptions can, and often do, change over time.
Building a brighter future for Queensland’s sugarcane industry will be top of the agenda when more than 100 growers and industry leaders gather in Mackay this week for the inaugural Sugar Cubed conference.
The time for talking is over! Immediate, large-scale, effective action is what’s required if we’re to have any hope of halting the march of Red Imported Fire Ants, CANEGROWERS Chairman Owen Menkens has said.
