NSW sugar producers have welcomed this week's fine weather with open arms, after the 2009 crush ground to halt just a week into harvest on account of wet weather.
Falls of up to 250mm last week left paddocks boggy and equipment sitting idle but the dry weather since Friday, and the sun since Sunday, has seen action in the cane fields again this morning.
Farmers around the Tweed and Clarence say it has been at least two decades since their region has seen such continued wet conditions.
