The leaders of Cotton Australia and CRDC will tour Qld and NSW cotton valleys across July, August and September to seek feedback from growers and the wider industry on a number of topics that together will shape the industry's future.
The Grower's Voice and Carbon Chats tour kicks off in Central Qld on 27-28 July for the first of multiple stops throughout Australian cotton valleys.
The visits are scheduled to seek feedback from growers and the wider industry on a number of important topics - including carbon and the Strategic Roadmap for Australian Cotton.
