Cane farming grows in Mackay district with sugar prospects

The region around Mt Jukes and Marian Mill shows growing cane near ten farms and a 3000-ton next year forecast. Marian Mill plans a 26 mile tramline and can treat five tons per shift, with three shifts in operation. Mackay exports nearly six tons of cane via St Jukes and Marian, aiming for larger annual outputs as two growers expand cane areas. Weather favors early crops and Sugar Commission reports boost outlook amid federal policy debates.
