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. |
