HCPSL is offering growers the opportunity to undertake early CCS sampling of
commercial cane fields to assist with management of first cut blocks.
Growers will need to:
- Collect 8 stalks per sample that are representative of their cane field.
- Stalks must be topped and stripped free of trash.
- Stalks must be tied off at the butt end of the cane bundle and labelled.
- The label must have the following information:
✓ Grower name
✓ Grower contact phone number
✓ Variety
✓ Crop class
✓ Farm number
✓ Block number - Put the labelled bundles in the trailer located at the front of the HCPSL/SRA
car park.
DROP OFF DAY: WEDNESDAY 28th MAY – BEFORE 9 AM
(Late samples will NOT be processed).

HCPSL will contact growers with the results once samples have been processed.
Please note that small mill CCS results are to be used as a guide only and not as a
direct comparison to commercial mill CCS.
