Most if not all of Australia's cotton growers are also grain growers - so we work very closely with our sister research and development (R&D) corporation, the Grains Research and Development Corporation, to deliver impactful R&D for our shared levy payers.
This week, the boards of both organisations have been meeting on CRDC's home turf at Narrabri - so today, our directors and senior managers joined together for a joint meeting at the University of Sydney's International Centre of Crop and Digital Agriculture.
On the agenda: collaboration, the major research priorities across cotton and grains, our current and future investments, and our collective impact through innovation - like WAND: the cotton and grain spray drift prevention program built through a strong GRDC/CRDC/Goanna Ag partnership.
Together, we're building a stronger future for our cotton and grain growers 🌱.
The Summer 2024-25 edition of Spotlight takes a deep dive into the critical role nitrogen plays on cotton farms and its impact on cotton's greenhouse gas emissions, explores exciting new spray technology from SwarmFarm and the LX Group, and delivers an update on the Australian Cotton Disease Collaboration.
