Summary

‘Enhancing extension capacity to sustain growth of north Queensland cropping systems’ is one of six projects in the Cotton, Grains, Cattle (CGC) program. Crop production in north Queensland provides farmers and pastoralists with greater operating diversity. This project will enable Cotton Seed Distributors to increase extension capacity of crop production in north Queensland with an additional extension officer. To meet the regions current rate of industry expansion, and help position the industry for future investments, increased access to cotton agronomy and overall support for sustainable farming systems and integration with grains and cattle systems is required .
