(2) (a) At the end of each planting season surplus seedlings are disposed of. This year the excess seedlings were disposed of in October. (b) Seedlings were removed from the trays and disposed of at the nursery tip. (c) Eucalyptus globulus and small quantities of various other eucalypt species. (d) This year 2.3 million seedlings have been disposed of to date. (e) The seedlings are disposed of at approximately nine months of age. (f) At this stage the Commission has not recognised any loss associated with these seedlings. The direct operating costs incurred by the Commission are initially covered through the payment of a deposit of 35% prior to sowing. In addition some customers had negotiated a rate to cover the full operating and disposal costs, in the event that they fail to take the seedlings (trashing rate). This year the trashing rate for seedlings was recovered from all but one customer, who is currently under administration. Any operating loss associated with the disposal of these seedlings will therefore depend upon the level of payment to creditors received from the company under administration. Further, where possible some plants are retained in the nursery for use in the following year, enabling a later recovery of costs. (g) Seedlings need to be sown between September and February in the year before planting. Most commercial growers secure their land and funds for planting between March and June. As a result, there is a degree of uncertainty as to whether all the seedlings sown will be used, which may result in there being seedlings surplus to requirements.
