Early CCS Sampling

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:

  1. Collect 8 stalks per sample that are representative of their cane field.
  2. Stalks must be topped and stripped free of trash.
  3. Stalks must be tied off at the butt end of the cane bundle and labelled.
  4. The label must have the following information:
    ✓ Grower name
    ✓ Grower contact phone number
    ✓ Variety
    ✓ Crop class
    ✓ Farm number
    ✓ Block number
  5. 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.
