Queensland’s sugarcane growers have delivered the final word at the State Government’s Inquiry into Sugarcane Biofuels Opportunities in Queensland, with CANEGROWERS closing the inquiry’s final public hearing in Brisbane today.
Sugarcane has once again proved to be one of the Royal Queensland Show’s sweetest attractions, with up to ten thousand people passing through the industry stand during last week’s Ekka in Brisbane.
As farmers, we’re very passionate about what we do. We put food on Aussie tables and clothes on Aussie backs.
CANEGROWERS has welcomed the end of industrial action at Tully Sugar Mill, saying it’s an example of what can be achieved when employers and unions negotiate in good faith and are prepared to compromise.
CANEGROWERS Chairman Owen Menkens has slammed both sides in the long-running pay dispute between Wilmar Sugar and unions representing mill workers, calling the current situation reckless and potentially disastrous for the industry.
Recently, CANEGROWERS published a new episode of our Shed Talk podcast, exploring the problems growers face from feral pigs.
