From ABC Rural: New technology is being rolled out across key cotton and grain growing regions to help prevent crop damage from spray drift as farmers face millions of dollars in losses.

Australian cotton enjoys a global reputation as a crop grown under decent working conditions. However, once our cotton is shipped offshore and enters the global value chain, visibility is lost to an opaque system.

Once every five years, CRDC creates a new Strategic Plan. This plan is the roadmap that guides all of CRDC's research, development and extension (RD&E) investments for the following five years.

The summer edition of CRDC's Spotlight magazine is now out! In this ed, we outline some of the landmark R&D investments that are addressing major challenges in the cotton industry, including spray drift and textile waste.

A major milestone has been reached in the effort to help minimise spray drift, with a hazardous weather warning system now live for QLD grain and cotton growers.

Recent advances in precision agriculture technologies have provided a new approach to conducting on-farm experimentation called ‘spatially distributed experimentation’.

CRDC's Directors are in Chinchilla this week meeting with growers and discussing research priorities.

Applications for the CRDC-supported 2023 AgriFutures Horizon Scholarship Program are now open.
