Project Manager

Anthony Girgenti

Background

Our family has been involved in harvesting for 20 years currently operating as Ripple Creek Harvesting. The Girgenti family business harvests cane in the Herbert River area and we supply cane to the CSR Herbert River Mill in Macknade. In 2001 we started a project to “Get to know our Business”.  We firstly set out to measure our equipment efficiency and if it was being utilised to its maximum capacity.  We also wanted to analyse how the farm layout of each one of our growers impacted on our harvesters’ efficiency.

Product Development

Sugarcane HELP Services has recently developed an innovative product – HELP Fuel Saver , which is currently in the commercial trial stage.

Achievements

In 2005 the industry recognized the importance and high quality of our work and technology by awarding us with Sugar Industry Innovator of the Year. This Australian Award was presented by the SRDC (Sugar Research and Development Corporation) and QSL (Queensland Sugar Limited).
