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 🌱.
In the Spring 2026 edition of Spotlight, read Dr Georgina Pengilley's inaugural Spotlight welcome, as she steps into the role as CRDC's Managing Director. Across this edition you can read about the Australian Cotton Conference, learn more about the innovators supported through CRDC's Innovation Call, and the emerging growers and researchers helping shape the future of Australian cotton.
