RD&E restructure will help to ensure strong future for the industry
By CANEGROWERS Chairman
Alf Cristaudo
The sugarcane industry is
looking to move on to a more
positive and focused future
for research, development and
extension (RD&E).
There have been too many
years of uncertainty with
funding, from reducing crops
and commitment to support
for BSES Limited; and a lack of
alignment in strategic planning
and prioritisation of research
projects due to a fragmented approach.
The joint CANEGROWERS and ASMC proposal announced
last fortnight will bring together BSES, SRL and the Sugar
Research and Development Corporation (SRDC) into an
industry owned company model supported by the federal
governments research and development structure and will
provide many benets for the industrys RD&E effort.
When formally approved, the new industry research
company (tentatively named Sugar Research Australia)
will have certainty of funding for four years. For 2012/13
agreement has already been reached on equal funding
from millers and growers at a realistic level; after that a
statutory levy would come into place for the following
three years.
The new structure will guarantee that the industry always
leverages the maximum available matched federal funding.
It will also allow the industry research body (rst BSES
and then eventually Sugar Research Australia) to fully
focus on their core business of R&D and delivering the
critical extension platform for local extension and advisory
services.
With this model, the way that these services are ultimately
delivered to a wider audience of grassroots stakeholders
will be determined and controlled by the local industry.
Signicant cost cutting and achieving efciencies are
essential if we are to have a viable and successful research
development and extension sector in our industry.
The new structure will guarantee that the
industry always leverages the maximum available
matched federal funding.

Many growers use the Telstra Tough T90
or Telstra Easytouch Discovery T2 mobile
phones.
Telstra has announced that changes to
their mobile network will require users of
Telstra Tough T90 and Telstra Easytouch
Discovery T2 mobile handsets to upgrade
the software installed on the handsets to
version M02.
The changes to the Telstra mobile
network can cause Telstra Tough T90 and
Telstra Easytouch Discovery T2 Mobile
handsets with earlier versions of the
software to freeze or power off in certain
conditions.
Telstra has provided detailed instructions
for the upgrade process. They are

Soybean processing venture in far north
Key learnings
With rapid growth in chicken
production on the Tableland, the
Salvetti family saw an opportunity
in feed. They now offer a local
GMO free alternative to imported
soybean meal.
The Salvetti family are strong
believers in the value of
diversication. They grow cane
and a wide variety of more than
20 seed crops (mostly grass seed
and legumes). They the beans and
seed crops in rotation with cane.
With a SRDC funding grant,
Maryann Salvetti undertook a
course on soybean extrusion in
Texas, USA.

By Gordon Collie
A new value-adding enterprise for
northern cane growers with soybeans is
set to launch on the Atherton Tablelands
in September.
The Salvetti family is taking delivery of
a full fat soybean extrusion plant from
the United States which will be the only
commercial outlet for beans north of
Toowoomba.
Maryann Salvetti, a CANEGROWERS
Tableland board member and chair of
Tableland Sugar Services, said their
facility would service a growing local
demand for high energy and protein
stock feed.
Weve been thinking about the idea for
a number of years and with the recent
rapid growth in chicken production on
the Tablelands there is now a market
outlet, she said.
There is a saving of $150 a tonne in
freight on sending beans south for
processing and then saving on the cost
of bringing the meal all the way back up.
A lot of soybean meal used in Australia
is actually imported from places like
Brazil and we will be able to offer a local
alternative that is guaranteed GMO free.
It will be another diversication for
Maryann and her husband Dennis and
sons Jason and Steven.
The family farm at Rocky Creek, between
Kairi and Tolga, is divided between cane

and a wide variety of more than 20 seed
crops, mostly grass seed and legumes.
They grade and process seed from their
own farm and contract growers for
the Australian and export market and
do contract seed harvesting and cane
planting.
They supply a range of legumes to the
sugar industry from Bundaberg north.
Maryann said the fresh high quality
bean meal would be sold to local feed
manufacturers.
The plant they are installing will be able
to process 3000 tonnes of beans a year
with the potential to scale up to meet
demand.
They have recently installed a modern
high capacity seed grading plant
from Germany and will use their old
equipment in conjunction with the new
soybean processor.
Maryann and Dennis received a funding
grant from the Sugar Research and
Development Corporation to undertake
a course on soybean extrusion in Texas,
USA earlier this year and they also visited
the World Ag Expo in California.
It was a great learning experience and a
real eye opener. The Americans use a big
volume of soybean meal for making pet
food, she said.
We may look at extracting soybean oil
in the future, at the moment we are just
focused on the full-fat meal.
The family has been heavily involved in
researching and trialing superior new
tropically adapted varieties with CSIRO
and as members of Soy Australia. She
said some new culinary-grade beans
were showing promise.
Maryann said they had been involved
with seed production and marketing for
almost 45 years and at one time had also
grown peanuts.
They grew their rst cane in 1989, initially
to supply Mossman Mill.
She said that in contrast to the coastal
region devastated by Cyclone Yasi, the
Tableland was enjoying a great sugar
season with big crop yields and high
sugar content.
Their crops to August had been
averaging 120 tonnes a hectare with

sugar content better than 14.5 units
of CCS.
We expect to harvest about 22,000
tonnes of cane this season and weve
already forward sold about 60 percent
as high as $500 a tonne of sugar,
she said.
Maryann said prospects were looking
bright for the future of cane on the
Tablelands where the mill was averaging
over 100 tonnes per hectare with a crop
about 700,000 tonnes expected.
The mill owner, MSF was investigating
the feasibility of adding a sugar
manufacturing back end to the juice mill
which would put the local industry in
charge of its own destiny.
We hope there will be a decision by
January so growers can gear up to
Maryann Salvetti in the modern seed grading plant.
produce up to 900,000 tonnes of cane
for crushing in 2013.
Some of the red soil country that
previously grew cane is likely to come
back into sugar production if the
expansion goes ahead, she said.
The family already lease land to grow
soybeans and with potential to grow
more cane, will consider acquiring
more property.
They also grow beans and other seed
crops in rotation with cane, often taking
beans and another crop before going
back into cane.
Their contract planting business
operates for an extended season from
April to the end of September across
the district and will plant about 600
hectares of cane this season.
Maryann Salvettis soybean meal is guaranteed GMO free.
